چکیده
conclusions these results showed that the administration of sdf-1a increases the number of proliferating cells in the injured area in the spinal cord and improves functional recovery. results significant improvements in locomotor function were detected in the sdf-1 group compared with the sci and vehicle groups (p < 0.05). the results showed that sdf-1 treatment increased proliferative cells at the spinal cord injury site. real time pcr revealed that these proliferative cells are cxcr4 positive that intake bromodeoxyuridine (brdu). materials and methods adult male wistar rats were randomly divided to four groups (n = 5) as follows: sham, sci, sdf-1 and vehicle. spinal cord injury model was created by contusion of t8-t9 by clips and sdf-1 infusion pump implanted in the neck region. one week after injury, 5-bromo-20-deoxyuridine (brdu) was injected to trace the proliferative cells. basso-beattie-bresnahan (bbb) test was performed to evaluate locomotor activity following sci. immunohistochemistry test was performed to determine proliferating cells, and real time polymerase chain reaction (pcr) was performed to detect the cxcr4 cells in tissue. objectives in this study we investigated the effect of sdf-1 in spinal cord injury repair in a rat model. background stromal cell-derived factor-1 (sdf-1)/cxc chemokine receptor 4 (cxcr4) is an important cytokine, with multiple functions, which plays a crucial role in the recruitment of multiple stem cell types in the defect sites of central nervous system (cns). various strategies have been managed to improve functional recovery after spinal cord injury (sci). one of these strategies is the use of factors to limit damage and increase recovery.

Repair of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Using Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Transfected with Adenoviral Vector Expressing Glial derived Neurotropic Factor (GDNF) in a Rat SCI Model
Back ground Subsequent to spinal cord injury many pathological changes may occur that could lead to inappropriate environment for repair. The Most important of such changes is the death of neurons. Exogenous administration of growth factors that modulate neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity, and neurotransmission has been proposed as a potential therapeutic treatment for SCI. Among these gr...

متن کاملRepair of Spinal Cord Injury by Co-Transplantation of embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Motor Neuron and Olfactory Ensheathing Cell
Background: The failure of regeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI) has been attributed to axonal demyelination and neuronal death. Cellular replacement and white matter regeneration are both necessary for SCI repair. In this study, we evaluated the co-transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells (OEC) and embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived motor neurons (ESMN) on contused SCI. Methods: OEC...

Background: Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) have been successfully employed for movement deficit recovery in spinal cord injury (SCI) rat models. One of the unsettled problems in cell transplantation is the relative high proportion of cell death, specifically after neural differentiation. According to our previous studies, p75 receptor, known as the death receptor, is only expressed in BMSC in...
