Minocycline Enhance Restorative Ability of Olfactory Ensheathing Cells by Upregulation of BDNF and GDNF Expression After Spinal Cord Injury

چکیده مقاله:
Purpose: Spinal cord injury is a global public health issue that results in extensive neuronal degeneration, axonal and myelin loss and severe functional deficits. Neurotrophic factors are potential treatment for reducing secondary damage, promoting axon growth, and are responsible for inducing myelination after injury. Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) and minocycline have been shown to promote locomotor function after spinal cord injury. In the present study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of combined treatment with minocycline and OECs on the spinal cord injury in relation with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and glial derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) expressions after SCI. Methods: Adult female rats were used to experimental SCI by weight compression method. Rats received intraperitoneal injection of minocycline (90 mg/kg) immediately after SCI and then 24 h after injury. OECs were transplanted one week after the injury. The hindlimb function was assessed using Basso Beattie Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor rating scale and electromyography (EMG). After five weeks, the segment of the spinal cord centered at the injury site was removed for histopathological analysis. Immunohistological and western blot assays were performed to observe the expression of NeuN, BDNF, GDNF and myelin basic protein (MBP). Results: SCI induced loss of locomotor function with decreased BDNF and GDNF expressions in the injury site. Minocycline +OECs increased the score of BBB locomotor scale and increased spared tissue in the injury site. Immunohistochemical results showed NeuN expression significantly increased in minocycline + OECs group than other groups. Also electromyography amplitude in treated rats was increased compared to control group. BDNF, GDNF and MBP expressions and the number of ventral motor neurons increased further by minocycline + OECs in SCI rats. Conclusion: The present study provides the evidence that minocycline may facilitate recovery of locomotor function by OECs through increasing of BDNF and GDNF expressions following SCI.

Repair 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...

The olfactory ensheathing cell is a specialized glial cell that assists in growth of the axons of the olfactory sensory neurons as they are generated and regenerated throughout adult life. There is increasing evidence in animal models that transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cell promotes recovery after transplantation into the injured spinal cord. Olfactory ensheathing cell transplants ha...

Olfactory ensheathing cell (OEC) transplantation has emerged as a very promising therapy for spinal cord repair. In this study, we tested the ability of genetically modified OECs to secrete high levels of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to promote spinal cord repair. The GDNF gene was transduced into OECs using a retroviral-based system. The engineered OECs were first charact...

Olfactory ensheathing cell (OEC) transplantation is a candidate cellular treatment approach for human spinal cord injury (SCI) due to their unique regenerative potential and autologous origin. The objective of this study was, through a meta-epidemiologic approach, (i) to assess the efficacy of OEC transplantation on locomotor recovery after traumatic experimental SCI and (ii) to estimate the li...
