Abstract:
The candidate donor cells for repairing the central nervous system included olfactory ensheathing cells,oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and Schwann cells. Among them,oligodendrocyte progenitor cells are difficult to collect in a large amount; Schwann cells are difficult to traverse glial scar,so olfactory ensheathing cells were the most appropriate groups. Olfactory ensheathing cells in vitro were flexible and of plasticity,thus were capable of adapting to the transplantation microenviroment and benefit for the neural regeneration. Olfactory ensheathing cells could improve the function after injury of spinal dorsal roots,which were probably related to the component of grafts. The proper preparation and mixed olfactory ensheathing cells could contribute to recovery of function. Although the low immunogen of fetal brain,the administration of immunosuppressant would be necessary. In spite of reconstruction of damaged pathway of nervous system,olfactory ensheathing cells were able to promoting sprout of fibers,release neurotransmitters at the non-synaptic sites and improve microenvironment of damaged sites as well,which compensated for the dysfunction in central nervous system injury. Insight into cell biological property and behavior after transplantation would help understand and exert theoretical influence on the repair of spinal cord injury.
