چکیده

The purpose of this study is to compare the therapeutic effects between autologous and allogenic bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation in experimentally-induced spinal cord injury (SCI) of dogs. Thirty adult Beagle dogs (control group=10, autologous group=10, and allogenic group=10) were used in this study. Prelabeled MSCs were intrathecally transplanted through the lumbar spinal cord into the injured lesion at a density of 1 x 10(7) cells 7 days after SCI. Neurological signs of dogs in both autologous and allogenic groups were improved in their pelvic limbs after SCI compared with those in control group. Both autologous and allogenic groups showed significantly higher the Olby scores than control group (p<0.05). This finding was consistent with results of MRI and histopathological examination in both groups. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that prelabeled autologous and allogenic MSCs were detected in the injured lesions both at 1 and 4 weeks after transplantation. However, the distribution ratio of MSCs on the injured lesion in allogenic group was significantly decreased at 4 weeks after transplantation relatively to at 1 week after transplantation. The mRNA expression for neurotrophic factors in both allogenic and autologous groups was significantly higher than that in control groups (p<0.05). Even though autologous MSC transplantation showed more beneficial effect than that of allogenic MSC transplantation, transplantation of allogenic MSCs also improved functional recovery following SCI. This study demonstrates that both autologous and allogenic MSC transplantation could be clinically useful therapeutic approaches for treating SCI.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells as an Alternative for Schwann Cells in Rat Spinal Cord Injury

Background: Spinal cord has a limited capacity to repair therefore, medical interventions are necessary for treatment of injuries. Transplantation of Schwann cells has shown a great promising result for spinal cord injury (SCI). However, harvesting Schwann cell has been limited due to donor morbidity and limited expansion capacity. Furthermore, accessible sources such as bone marrow stem cells ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a drastic disability that leads to spinal cord impairment. This study sought to determine the effects of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) on caspase-3 levels after acute SCI in mice. Forty-two mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: control (2 subcategories), subjected to no intervention; sham (3 subcategories), subjected to acute SCI; and experimental (2 subcategori...

P144: Therapeutic Application of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Spinal Cord Injury Treatment

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a neurologic disorder that have a significant impact on quality of life, life expectancy, and economic burden. SCI leads to irreversible neuronal loss and ultimately leads to paralysis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising source for cellular therapy because they have possessed the capacity of self-renewal and differentiation to several distinct mesenchymal ...
