Popis: | Intracranial hemorrhage from stroke and head trauma elicits a cascade of inflammatory and immune reactions detrimental to neurological integrity and function at cellular and molecular levels. This study tested the hypothesis that human umbilical cord–derived mesenchymal stem cell (HUCDMSC) therapy effectively protected the brain integrity and neurological function in rat after acute traumatic brain injury (TBI). Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats ( n = 30) were equally divided into group 1 (sham-operated control), group 2 (TBI), and group 3 [TBI + HUCDMSC (1.2 × 106 cells/intravenous injection at 3 h after TBI)] and euthanized by day 28 after TBI procedure. The results of corner test and inclined plane test showed the neurological function was significantly progressively improved from days 3, 7, 14, and 28 in groups 1 and 3 than in group 2, and group 1 than in group 3 (all P < 0.001). By day 28, brain magnetic resonance imaging brain ischemic volume was significantly increased in group 2 than in group 3 ( P < 0.001). The protein expressions of apoptosis [mitochondrial-bax positive cells (Bax)/cleaved-caspase3/cleaved-poly(adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose) polymerase], fibrosis (Smad3 positive cells (Smad3)/transforming growth factor-β), oxidative stress (NADPH Oxidase 1 (NOX-1)/NADPH Oxidase 2 (NOX-2)/oxidized-protein/cytochrome b-245 alpha chain (p22phox)), and brain-edema/deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)–damaged biomarkers (Aquaporin-4/gamma H2A histone family member X ( (γ-H2AX)) displayed an identical pattern to neurological function among the three groups (all P < 0.0001), whereas the protein expressions of angiogenesis biomarkers (vascular endothelial growth factor/stromal cell–derived factor-1α/C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4)) significantly increased from groups 1 to 3 (all P < 0.0001). The cellular expressions of inflammatory biomarkers (cluster of differentiation 14 (+) cells (CD14+)/glial fibrillary acidic protein positive cells (GFAP+)/ a member of a new family of EGF-TM7 molecules positive cells (F4/80+)) and DNA-damaged parameter (γ-H2AX) exhibited an identical pattern, whereas cellular expressions of neural integrity (hexaribonucleotide Binding Protein-3 positive cells (NeuN+)/nestin+/doublecortin+) exhibited an opposite pattern of neurological function among the three groups (all P < 0.0001). Xenogeneic HUCDMSC therapy was safe and it significantly preserved neurological function and brain architecture in rat after TBI. |
