Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether glial cell line—de rived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) delivered intraspinally via a fibrin glue (FG) en hanced regeneration of cut dorsal root (DR). Methods: FG containing GDNF was inserted into aspiration cavities in the lumbar enlargement of adult rats. The tran sected L5 DR stump was placed at the bottom of the cavity and sandwiched between the FG and the spinal cord. Regenerated DR axons were labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) or with immunohistochemical methods for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Results: Primary afferent axons labeled with HRP regenerated into the spinal cord, received GDNF, and made frequent arborization there. Some of these were myelinated axons that established synapses on intraspinal neuronal profiles. CGRP-immunoreactive DR axons extended into the motor neurons and formed promi nent varicosities around their cell bodies. Only a few axons regenerated into the spinal cords given FG without GONE Conclusions: Our results indicate that GDNF en hances regeneration of DR into the adult rat spinal cord and that GDNF may be ef fectively supplied to the intraspinal injury site via FG. Because the regenerated axons establish synapses on intraspinal neurons, this therapeutic strategy has the potential to help to rebuild spinal reflex circuits interrupted by spinal cord injury. Key Words: GDNF—Fibrin glue—Intraspinal injury—Calcitonin gene-related peptide—Dorsal root regeneration—Electron microscopy—Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic fac tor—Horseradish peroxidase.
