| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It has been reported that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSCs) regulate immune responses mediated by anti-inflammation. The present study was designed to determine relationship between transplanted-hMSCs and the recipient tissues on the model of spinal cord injury (SCI) in mouse. While the transplant human MSCs (hMSCs) in the wild-type mice improved clinical symptoms such as locomotor activity and injury size on day 7 after SCI, the vehicle- or degenerated hMSCs-injected animals did not, suggesting the importance of the cell-cell communication. The hMSCs-transplanted animals increased a neuropeptide, PACAP gene expression, and modified pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines transcriptomes as well. Transplantation of hMSCs into PACAP (+/-) mouse showed no improvement of the clinical symptom and cytokine expressions. These results suggested that transplanted hMSCs on SCI communicated to the recipient tissues through PACAP and suppressed the inflammation of the SCI.
