Abstract:
BACKGROUND:There are several routes for stem cel transplantation;however, it is stil unable to determine which one is the best. As for the different individuals with brain injury, the type of transplanted cel s, transplantation route and time wil affect the therapeutic effects.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of bone marrow mononuclear cel s transplanted via different approaches on neurological function of rats with traumatic brain injury.
METHODS:Bone marrow mononuclear cel s of rats were administered gradient centrifugation with Ficol lymphocyte separation medium, and were labeled with CFDA-SE in vitro as standby. Rat models of traumatic brain injury were established by the method of freefal . After successful establishment of rat models, bone marrow mononuclear cel s labeled with CFDA-SE were immediately transplanted into rats via injured area, lateral ventricle and internal carotid artery. One control group was designated for each transplantation route (bone marrow mononuclear cel s were replaced with the same volume of DMEM). The degree of neurological deficits was evaluated using mNSS scores at different time points after treatment. The brain tissue was harvested after the last neurobehavioral evaluation. The survival and migration of bone marrow mononuclear cel s in the injured area were observed under an inverted fluorescent microscope.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 7, 10, and 14 days after treatment, the mNSS scores of rats in al groups were al lower than those at 1 and 3 days (P<0.05). At 7 and 10 days, the mNSS scores of rats in the internal carotid artery transplantation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). At 14 days after treatment, the number of fluorescence-labeled cel s of rats in the internal carotid artery transplantation group was greater than that in the other groups (P<0.05) and these labeled cel s were widely distributed. The results demonstrate that the neurological function of rats can be improved by transplanting bone marrow mononuclear cel s via the internal carotid artery, and a large number of transplanted cel s can survive and migrate in the injured area.
