早期运动训练联合神经干细胞移植对脊髓损伤模型大鼠后肢运动功能的影响

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that neural stem cell transplantation combined with exercise training can promote the recovery of hindlimb motor function from spinal cord injury in rats, but its mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of early exercise training combined with neural stem cell transplantation on the recovery of hindlimb motor function in rats with spinal cord injury. METHODS: Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats with spinal cord injury were randomly divided into three groups: control group (n=20, given conventional treatment after injury), cell transplantation group (n=20, given neural stem cell transplantation after injury), experimental group, (n=20, given neural stem cell transplantation combined with early exercise training after injury). Recovery of the hindlimb motor function was assessed by Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scale and inclined plane test before and at 1, 7, 14, 21 days after injury. Western blot assay was used to detect caspase-3 and myeloperoxidase expression. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was done at 21 days after injury to observe the structure changes of the injured spinal cord. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Scores of Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scale and inclined plane test were significantly better in the experimental group than the cell transplantation group followed by the control group (P < 0.05). (2) In the control group, the expression of caspase-3 and myeloperoxidase was significantly increased at 14 days after injury. In the cell transplantation, the expression of caspase-3 and myeloperoxidase was significantly higher than the experimental group (P < 0.05). (3) Pathological inflammation was reduced most in the experimental group followed by the cell transplantation group. In the experimental group, the structure of injured spinal cord was improved and became relatively clear and intact. These findings indicate that neural stem cell transplantation combined with early exercise training can effectively promote the recovery of hindlimb motor function from spinal cord injury in rats, by reducing the expression of caspase-3 and myeloperoxidase and alleviating secondary lesion of the spinal cord.      

电针刺激对神经干细胞移植治疗脊髓损伤大鼠后肢功能的影响

背景：单纯的神经干细胞移植对受损脊髓组织的修复作用并不理想,为了进一步提高移植细胞在体内的存活、增殖及定向分化为神经元的比例,必须进一步改善脊髓损伤区的微环境。 目的：观察神经干细胞移植联合电针刺激对脊髓损伤大鼠后肢功能及电生理的影响。 方法：将脊髓损伤模型SD大鼠72只按随机数字表法分为4组：对照组尾静脉注入培养液,神经干细胞组经尾静脉注入等体积神经干细胞悬液,电针刺激组自模型完成6 h起采用督脉加体穴电针1周,联合组尾静脉注射神经干细胞后,同时采用督脉加体穴电针1周。分别于造模前、造模后1,3 d、1-4 周通过BBB评分、斜板试验进行运动功能评定。造模后4周取材行病理切片苏木精-伊红染色,荧光显微镜观测CM-Dil 标记的神经干细胞存活及分布情况,辣根过氧化物酶示踪观察神经纤维再生情况,运动诱发电位和体感诱发电位观察大鼠神经电生理恢复情况。 结果与结论：造模后2-4周大鼠下肢运动功能评价联合组优于神经干细胞组及电针刺激组,神经干细胞组和电针刺激组优于对照组。造模后4周,神经干细胞组和电针刺激组损伤区可见少量神经轴索样结构,脊髓空洞较小,联合组可见较多神经轴索样结构,未见脊髓空洞。造模后4周,CM-Dil 阳性细胞和辣根过氧化物酶阳性神经纤维数：联合组>神经干细胞组与电针刺激组>对照组,各组之间差异有显著性意义(P < 0.05)。运动诱发电位和体感诱发电位的潜伏期：联合组<神经干细胞组与电针刺激组<对照组,各组之间差异有显著性意义(P < 0.05);运动诱发电位和体感诱发电位的波幅：联合组>神经干细胞组与电针刺激组>对照组,各组之间差异有显著性意义(P < 0.05)。结果提示神经干细胞移植的同时联合电针刺激能够促进脊髓损伤大鼠神经突触的再生,改善其大鼠肢体运动功能及电生理功能。中国组织工程研究杂志出版内容重点：干细胞;骨髓干细胞;造血干细胞;脂肪干细胞;肿瘤干细胞;胚胎干细胞;脐带脐血干细胞;干细胞诱导;干细胞分化;组织工程

胰岛素样生长因子1诱导骨髓间充质干细胞转化为少突胶质细胞移植修复急性脊髓损伤

BACKGROUND:Treatment and rehabilitation of spinal cord injury is a complicated problem, and the reconstruction and remyelination of neural reflex pathways are the essential process, during which oligodendrocytes play an important role in spinal cord injury repair. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of oligodendrocyte transplantation for acute spinal cord injury in rats. METHODS:Insulin-like growth factor 1 induced bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiating into oligodendrocytes, and those oligodendrocytes were transplanted into rats with acute spinal cord injury as induced cell transplantation group. Simple normal saline and natural oligodendrocytes were transplanted into the rat injured spinal cord as control group and oligodendrocyte group, respectively. Rat behavioral changes were observed by inclined plane test and Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) scores. Neurological recovery and survival of the transplanted cells was detected and observed using spinal evoked potential and immunohistochemical staining, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, BBB scores and the critical elevation angle of the incline plane test significantly increased, latencies of spinal motor and sensory evoked potential were on the decline (P < 0.05), and there were no significant differences in above indicators between the two groups at 4 and 8 weeks after transplantation. Moreover, survived oligodendrocytes after transplantation could be found in the lesions of spinal cord in both two groups. In conclusion, insulin-like growth factor 1-induced bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into oligodendrocytes that exact an excellent role in acute spinal cord injury repair after transplantation, which achieve the equal clinical efficacy to the natural oligodendrocytes.     

Fate of transplanted bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells following spinal cord injury in rats by transplantation routes

This research was performed to investigate the differences of the transplanted cells' survival and differentiation, and its efficacy according to the delivery routes following spinal cord injury. Allogenic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were transplanted intravenously (IV group) or intralesionally (IL group) at post-injury 1 day in rats. Behavioral improvement, engraftment and differentiation of the transplanted cells and the expression of neurotrophic factors of the transplanted groups were analyzed and compared with those of the control group. At 6 weeks post-injury, the mean BBB motor scales in the control, IV and IL groups were 6.5 ± 1.8, 11.1 ± 2.1, and 8.5 ± 2.8, respectively. Regardless of the delivery route, the MSCs transplantation following spinal cord injuries presented better behavioral improvement. The differentiations of the engrafted cells were different according to the delivery routes. The engrafted cells predominantly differentiated into astrocytes in the IV group and on the other hand, engrafted cells of the IL group demonstrated relatively even neural and glial differentiation. The expressions of neuronal growth factor were significantly higher in the IL group (mean relative optical density, 2.4 ± 0.15) than those in the control (2.16 ± 0.04) or IV group (1.7 ± 0.23). Transplantation of MSCs in the early stage of spinal cord injury gives a significant clinical improvement. However, the fate of the transplanted MSCs and expression of neuronal growth factors are different along the transplantation route.     

不同时期局部移植人脐带间充质干细胞修复脊髓损伤的组织学观察

BACKGROUND:Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a disease causing a variety of motor and sensory dysfunctions, abnormal muscle tone and pathological reflex. Clinically, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell transplantation has become an employed therapy for SCI. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of local transplantation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in different time after spinal cord injury in rats. METHODS:100 SPF male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups: blank control group, SCI group, post-SCI 3-, 7-, 21-day transplantation groups (n=20 per group). Animal models of T₁₀ SCI were made by Allen’s method in the latter four groups, and rats in the three transplantation groups were given HUCMSCs transplantation at 3, 7, 21 days after SCI, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the SCI group, improved motor function scores, decreased interleukin-2 level, and increased serum interleukin-10 level were observed in the three transplantation groups at 49 days after modeling, indicating SCI was improved significantly in the three transplantation groups, especially in the post-SCI 7-day transplantation group. These findings suggest that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for SCI repair improves the movement function of rats, and cell transplantation at 7 days after modeling has achieved best outcomes.

甲基强的松龙影响脊髓损伤后内源性神经干细胞的迁移

BACKGROUND:After spinal cord injury, endogenous neural stem cells are activated to proliferate and migrate to repair damaged tissue. As a clinical medicine, methylprednisolone shows a lot of functions, but its effects on endogenous neural stem cells are still unknown. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of methylprednisolone on the proliferation and migration of endogenous neural stem cells after spinal cord injury. METHODS:Seventy-five Sprague-Dawley rats were used to make animal models of T10 complete paraplegia using Allen’s method, and randomized into methylprednisolone, normal saline and model groups. Rats in these three groups were given intraperitoneal injection of 1 g/L methylprednisolone solution at a dose of 30 mg/kg for 10 minutes and at a dose of 5.4 mg/kg/h for 23 hours, given intraperitoneal injection of normal saline at the same dose and given no treatment, respectively. Neurological and motor functions were assessed by somatosensory evoked potential and Basso Beattie Bresnahan scores at 7, 14, 21, 28 days after spinal cord injury. BrdU and Nestin staining of the injured spinal cord segment was conducted. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A large amount of BrdU- and Nestin-positive cells were visible in all the groups, and the number of these cells reached the peach at 14 days after spinal cord injury. Methylprednisolone was found to inhibit BrdU-, Nestin- or double-positive cells, indicating methylprednisolone can inhibit the proliferation and migration of endogenous neural stem cells. The results of Basso Beattie Bresnahan scores showed no notable improvement in the motor function of the limbs. Methylprednisolone also showed no significant effects on the motor evoked potential latency, but promoted nerve conduction recovery. All these findings indicate that methylprednisolone has some hindering effects on spinal cord repair by inhibiting the proliferation and migration of endogenous neural stem cells after spinal cord injury.     

脐血干细胞移植及电针治疗脊髓损伤大鼠神经生长因子及神经营养因子3的表达

Pregabalin as a neuroprotector after spinal cord injury in rats: biochemical analysis and effect on glial cells

As one of trials on neuroprotection after spinal cord injury, we used pregabalin. After spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats using contusion model, we observed the effect of pregabalin compared to that of the control and the methylprednisolone treated rats. We observed locomotor improvement of paralyzed hindlimb and body weight changes for clinical evaluation and caspase-3, bcl-2, and p38 MAPK expressions using western blotting. On histopathological analysis, we also evaluated reactive proliferation of glial cells. We were able to observe pregabalin's effectiveness as a neuroprotector after SCI in terms of the clinical indicators and the laboratory findings. The caspase-3 and phosphorylated p38 MAPK expressions of the pregabalin group were lower than those of the control group (statistically significant with caspase-3). Bcl-2 showed no significant difference between the control group and the treated groups. On the histopathological analysis, pregabalin treatment demonstrated less proliferation of the microglia and astrocytes. With this animal study, we were able to demonstrate reproducible results of pregabalin's neuroprotection effect. Diminished production of caspase-3 and phosphorylated p38 MAPK and as well as decreased proliferation of astrocytes were seen with the administration of pregabalin. This influence on spinal cord injury might be a possible approach for achieving neuroprotection following central nervous system trauma including spinal cord injury.
