| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study we explore the therapeutic effects of MSC or MSC-conditioned medium (MSC-CM) on LPS-induced rat PVL model. Umbilical cord-derived MSC (UCMSC, Lonza) were purchased. Four-day old rats were intraperitoneally challenged with LPS to create PVL model and simultaneously treated by culture medium (control), MSC, or MSC-CM. Immuno-staining of myelin basic protein (MBP) in brain sections was used to evaluate cerebral white matter. Real time-PCR was performed to quantitate proinflammatory cytokine levels in 6-day-old rat brain.Postnatal LPS challenge caused PVL in rats, evaluated by increased inflammatory chytokines on day 6, and loss of MBP on day 12. Both MAS and MSC-CM significantly attenuated the cytokine level whereas only MSC attenuated loss of MBP.Our results showed that therapeutic potential of MSC due to anti-inflammatory effects in rat PVL model. The differences between MSC and MSC-CM suggests direct cellular effects are necessary for preventing MBP loss in PVL.
