Abstract

Transplantation of neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs) is a promising strategy for repair after spinal cord injury. However, the epicenter of the severely damaged spinal cord is a hostile environment that results in poor survival of the transplanted NSPCs. We examined implantation of extramedullary chitosan channels seeded with NSPCs derived from transgenic green fluorescent protein (GFP) rats after spinal cord transection (SCT). At 14 weeks, we assessed the survival, maturation, and functional results using NSPCs harvested from the brain (brain group) or spinal cord (SC group) and seeded into chitosan channels implanted between the cord stumps after complete SCT. Control SCT animals had empty chitosan channels or no channels implanted. Channels seeded with brain or spinal cord-derived NSPCs showed a tissue bridge, although the bridges were thicker in the brain group. Both cell types showed long-term survival, but the number of surviving cells in the brain group was approximately five times as great as in the SC group. In both the brain and SC groups at 14 weeks after transplantation, many host axons were present in the center of the bridge in association with the transplanted cells. At 14 weeks astrocytic and oligodendroc...Continue Reading
