Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this project is to develop a novel cell transplantation therapy for chronic multiple sclerosis. Schwann cells were induced from rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by adding several cytokines. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and toxin(Cuprizone or Ethidium bromide)-induced focal demyelinating model rat were prepared as chronic demyelinating animal models. Induced Schwann cells were transplanted into these models, but no significant therapeutic effect could be observed. The instability of symptom of animal models might be one of the reason. But the low rate of transplanted cell engraftment was thought to be the primary cause of this result.
