Thermostabilized chondroitinase ABC Promotes Neuroprotection after Contusion Spinal Cord Injury
Background: Chondroitinase ABC (cABC), due to its loosening impact on the extracellular matrix scaffold, has been used to enhance regeneration of injured axonal tracts after spinal cord injury (SCI). However, cABC thermal instability at physiological temperature has limited its clinical application. The disaccharide trehalose has been shown to increase the stability of cABC in body temperature....
متن کاملFunctional recovery assessment of spinal cord contusion model in male rats without therapeutic interventions
Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most serious clinical diseases, which not only affects the patient's physical and mental status, but its effects will be spread to family and community. After severe spinal cord injury, astrocytes of the central nervous system (CNS) become reactive astrocytes, and play the main role of glial scar formation. The scar is a major obstacle to r...
متن کاملOlfactory glia transplantation into cervical spinal cord contusion injuries.
OBJECT The results of olfactory ensheathing cell (OEC) transplantation have raised great expectations as a potential treatment for spinal cord injury (SCI). Its capacity to promote functional neural repair, however, remains unclear. The authors studied axonal growth and locomotor recovery after C-7 contusion injury and OEC transplantation in adult rats. METHODS Twenty-four male Wistar rats un...
متن کاملDegeneration of phrenic motor neurons induces long-term diaphragm deficits following mid-cervical spinal contusion in mice.
A primary cause of morbidity and mortality following cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) is respiratory compromise, regardless of the level of trauma. In particular, SCI at mid-cervical regions targets degeneration of both descending bulbospinal respiratory axons and cell bodies of phrenic motor neurons, resulting in deficits in the function of the diaphragm, the primary muscle of inspiration. Co...
متن کاملmiR-126 promotes angiogenesis and attenuates inflammation after contusion spinal cord injury in rats
MicroRNAs are a class of small RNAs that regulate the expression of target mRNAs by inhibiting translation or destabilizing target mRNAs. miR-126 is a microRNA that is highly enriched in endothelial cells. miR-126 has been found to promote angiogenesis and inhibit vascular inflammation in endothelial cells by repressing three target genes Sprouty-related EVH1 domain-containing protein 1 (SPRED1...
