Abstract:
This research was to study the regulation of intravenous administration of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (HUCBMSCs) on secretion of neural specific protein in rats after traumatic brain injury (TBI), and to explore its mechanisms promoting the recovery of neurological function. The TBI models of rats were established. We then injected HUCBMSCs, labelled by Brdu (5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine), into the TBI rats via the tail vein using modified Feeney free-falling method. The levels of neural biochemical indicators (serum S100β protein, NSE, LDH, CK) of rats were detected in shamed group, injury group and HUCBMSCs-transplanted group. And the morphological changes of brain tissue of rats in the three groups were observed by using HE staining under light microscope. During the whole experiment no immunosuppressant was used for the four groups. From the research, transplant-related death of the rats was not found in transplantation group. In the injury group, rises were found in contents of serum S100β protein, NSE, LDH, CK in the early stage after the rats were injured, which were much higher than those in shamed group at correspondent time point (P < 0.01). In HUCBMSCs-transplanted group, although these biochemistry indexes were found rising for a short period in the early stage, along with the time, these indexes were obviously lower than in those injury group (P < 0.05). Under light microscopy pathological changes of rats in HUCBMSCs-transplanted group were much slighter than those in injury group. It was well concluded that in the situation of no immuno-suppressants, the intravenous-injected HUCBMSCs could reduce the secretion of serum S100β protein, NSE, LDH, CK, promote the repair of tissue injury effectively, and promote the functional recovery of neurons.
