| 【Abstract】 Objectives: To investigate the effects of combined transplantation of chondroitinase ABC(ChABC), Nogo-66(1-40) antagonist peptide(NEP1-40) and rat embryonic neural stem cells(NSCs) on the recovery of neurological function in rats with spinal cord injury. Methods: The NSCs cryopreserved in our preliminary experiment were cultured and induced by all-trans-retinoic acid(ATRA)(the concentration of 1.0μmol/L) in vitro, the immunofluorescence techniques were used to detect the expressions of NSCs specific markers of glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) and neuron-specific enolase(NSE). The NSCs were marked by 5-Bromo-2-deoxy Uridine(BrdU) before implantation. 60 adult Sprague-Daw female rats were randomly divided into six groups, namely, the sham operation group(group A, n=10), the injury control group(group B, n=10), the NSCs treatment group(group C, n=10), the NSCs combined with ChABC treatment group(group D, n=10), the NSCs combined with NEP1-40 treatment group(group E, n=10), and NSCs combined with ChABC and NEP1-40 treatment group(group F, n=10). Complete thoracic spinal cord transected injury models of rats were performed in all rats except group A before transplantation. On the third day after surgery, group E and group F were injected with NEP1-40 for 20μl/d through the indwelling catheter for 28 days consecutively; on the eighth day after surgery, group C, D, E and F were injected with 10μl of NSCs that were intervened with ATRA and labeled with BrdU through the indwelling catheter; and on the eighth day after surgery, group D and F were injected with ChABC for 10μl/d through the indwelling catheter for 7 days consecutively. Equal quantity of transplant liquid was kept through injection with normal saline through the indwelling catheter at all time points. Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan(BBB) score and somatosensory evoked potential(SEP) test were used to evaluate the functional changes preoperatively, postoperatively as well as 2 weeks, 5 weeks and 8 weeks after transplantation, respectively. The injured spinal cords were sampled for observing 8 weeks after transplantation and HE staining were performed to observe the morphological alteration in the injured spinal cord.

The BBB score and SEP latent period showed significant difference at any observing point after transplantation(P<0.05). BBB score of group B at each time point was significantly lower than that of group C, D, E and F, and SEP latent period was significantly longer than that of group C, D, E and F(P<0.05); the outcome of neurological functional recovery in group F remarkably surpassed than that of group C, D and E among all post-transplantation observing time points, and group F had higher BBB score and shorter SEP latent period than group C, D, E(P<0.05). 8 weeks after transplantation, HE staining in group A showed complete morphological structure and regular arrangement of cells; while the morphological structure was seriously damaged in group B, where irregular arrangement of cells as well as a large number of scar and cysts could be seen; and there were obvious cells and capillary hyperplasia and a few small cysts in group C, D, E, and group F in particular. The viable positive cells labeled by BrdU could only be observed in group C, D, E and F, and the number of Brdu-positive cells in group F were greater than that of group C, D and E(P<0.05), with the difference being statistically significant. Using Fluorescence microscope, the double positive cells for MAP-2 and BrdU could be detected in group C, D, E and F. The axonal regeneration and growth was distinctly promoted in group F. The number and surface area of positive cells labeled by MAP-2 showed significant difference(P<0.05), and group F had greater number of cells and larger surface area when compared with group A, B, C, D and E(P<0.05).
