Popis: The highly debilitated nature of spinal cord injuries (SCI) creates an inhibitory repair environment that limits the recovery rate and therefore single interventional treatment has been resulted in incomplete recovery. A multifactorial approach that combines several therapeutic approaches may address diverse aspects of SCI pathology and enhance the recovery rate over single therapy. Accordingly, in this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of combined olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) (to transport trophic factor, mediate immunomodulation, provide a suitable environment for cell survival), G-CSF (to establish a favorable environment for cell survival) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (to boost the protective activity of OEC) therapy on the cell viability after a scratch injury caused by a cataract knife on cells in an in-vitro model of spinal-derived neural injury. In this study, we used mixed neuronal-glial cultures, which are widely used for an in vitro study of neuronal damage. Scratch insult was made on cells using a cataract knife. The cells were divided into 8 groups (two control groups with and without olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) treatment, injury group, three injury groups with single therapy by using super low dose of LPS (SLD-LPS) (100 pg/ml), OEC group, and G-CSF (100 ng/ml) group, and two injury groups with combined therapy (OEC with SLD-LPS and with all three treatments)). We found a significant decrease in the survival rate of injured cells (p < 0.001) 24 h after scratching insult. Our results indicated morphological alterations in cells in the acute phase (1, 2 and 6 h) after injury, with significant increased gap size at 6 h after induction of injury. Our combined therapy, significantly prevented cell death and decreased the size of the gap over time. We found that combined therapy promoted cell survival following spinal injury by providing a neuroprotective environment for cells. Therefore, our findings provide new insight into the combined therapy, which can be considered for promising preclinical therapeutic strategy for SCI toward clinical trials.
