Ischemic Encephalopathy

In this study, we investigated how human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells exerted a neuroprotective effect via antiapoptotic mechanisms in a neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy rat model. A total of 78 10-day old (P10) rats were used. After human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were collected from human umbilical cords and amplified in culture, they were administered to rat subjects 1 h after induced hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy treatment. The short-term (48 h) and long-term (28 day) outcomes were evaluated after human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells treatment using neurobehavioral function assessment. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride monohydrate staining was performed at 48 h. Beclin-2 and caspase-3 levels were evaluated with Western blot and real time polymerase chain reaction at 48 h. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were collected and administrated to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy pups by intracerebroventricular injection. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy typically induced significant delay in development and caused impairment in both cognitive and motor functions in rat subjects. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were shown to ameliorate hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy-induced damage and improve both cognitive and motor functions. Although hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy induced significant expression of caspase-3 and Beclin-2, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells decreased the expression of both of them. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells may serve as a potential treatment to ameliorate brain injury in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy patients.

Abstract Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a brain injury disease, which is a global public health issue with an estimated prevalence of 2‰—4‰ and imposes a substantial health burden on many countries. At present, there is no ideal treatment available and most of them will still suffer adverse outcomes. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(HUCMSCs) application in many fields of medicine, which can promote nervous system regeneration and inhibit neuroinflammation. The regeneration of central nervous system(CNS) is related to the nervous regeneration inhibitors. NogoA/NgR/Rho pathway is very important to the nerve growth, CP injury is inevitably accompanied by the regeneration and repair of neurons and axons. so we hypothesized that NogoA/NgR/Rho pathway is involved in when using the HUCMSCs to treatment cerebral palsy.Purpose: In this study, we might clarify the NogoA/NgR/Rho pathway functional role in mediating HUCMSCs to improve neurobehavioral status and alleviate brain injury in hypoxia/ischemia-induced CP rat model.Methods: The CP rat model was established by ligating the left common carotid artery and anoxia for 2.5 h, and HUCMSCs were intravenous injected to the modeled rats. The neurobehavioral situation and brain pathological injury in CP rats were determined via a series of assays. The mRNA and protein expression of NogoA、NgR、RhoA、Rac-1、Cdc42 in brain tissue of rats in each group was detected by RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. Results: The CP rats exhibited obvious motor function abnormalities, pathological damage and a lot of brain nerve cell apoptosis. Compared with CP+PBS group and CP group rats, HUCMSCs transplantation can significantly improve the neurobehavioral situation, attenuated brain pathological injury, inhibit apoptosis of brain nerve cells and the activation of astrocytes in CP rats. The expression of NogoA、NgR、RhoA relative mRNA and protein in brain tissues of rats in the CP+PBS group and CP group rats were significantly lower than those of in the sham+PBS and CP+HUCMSCs group. The expression of Rac-1、Cdc42 relative mRNA and protein in brain tissues of rats in the sham and CP+HUCMSCs group was significantly higher than those of in CP+PBS group and CP group rats. Conclusion: This study confirmed that HUCMSCs can efficiently improve neurobehavioral status and alleviate brain injury in hypoxia/ischemia-induced cerebral palsy rat model via down-regulating the NogoA/NgR/Rho pathway.
