Thermostabilized chondroitinase ABC Promotes Neuroprotection after Contusion Spinal Cord Injury
Authors
Abstract:
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. Therefore, the present study was conducted to assess the effect of combined trehalose and cABC on inflammation, lipid peroxidation and histopathological changes following SCI. Methods: Male Wistar rats were randomized into six groups (n=12) including sham, SCI, vehicle, trehalose, cABC and trehalose + cABC. In sham group, only laminectomy was performed. Other groups underwent laminectomy followed by contusion spinal cord injury. Twenty four hours after treatment, the level of IL-1β, Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and Malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured. Histopathological changes were also scored. Results: Spinal cord injury in rats resulted in severe trauma characterized by increase in inflammation, oxidative stress, neutrophils infiltration, hemorrhage, necrosis and edema. The levels of IL-1β, MDA and MPO were 260.3±16.4 nmol/mg protein, 1.2±0.06 mU/mg protein and 18.9±0.7 pg/mg protein, respectively in the vehicle group. However, combined treatment with cABC and trehalose reduced the amount of these factors significantly to 142.4±17 nmol/mg protein, 0.57±0.03 mU/mg protein and 13.8±0.4 pg/mg protein, respectively (P<0.05). In addition, treatment with cABC and trehalose improved histopathological alterations. Conclusions: The present data suggest that coadministration of trehalose and cABC exhibits neuroprotection effect through reducing inflammation and tissue injury events associated with SCI.

Chondroitinase ABC promotes sprouting of intact and injured spinal systems after spinal cord injury.
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are inhibitory extracellular matrix molecules that are upregulated after CNS injury. Degradation of CSPGs using the enzyme chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) can promote functional recovery after spinal cord injury. However, the mechanisms underlying this recovery are not clear. Here we investigated the effects of ChABC treatment on promoting plasticity within ...

Effect of chondroitinase ABC on inflammatory and oxidative response following spinal cord injury
Objective(s): Chondroitinase ABC (cABC) treatment improves functional recovery following spinal cord injury (SCI) through degrading inhibitory molecules to axon growth. However, cABC involvement in other pathological processes contributing to SCI remains to be investigated. Here, we studied the effect of cABC I on oxidative stress and inflammation developed in a rat model of SCI.Materials and M...

Chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) has striking effects on promoting neuronal plasticity after spinal cord injury (SCI), but little is known about its involvement in other pathological mechanisms. Recent work showed that ChABC might also modulate the immune response by promoting M2 macrophage polarization. Here we investigate in detail the immunoregulatory effects of ChABC after SCI in rats. Initially,...

We have previously demonstrated that enzymatic digestion of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) at the scar promotes the axonal regrowth of Clarke's nucleus (CN) neurons into an implanted peripheral nerve graft after hemisection of the spinal cord. The present study examined whether degradation of CSPG using chondroitinase ABC promoted the regeneration of CN neurons through the scar into th...
