| Research Abstract |
We have established the culture system of the bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) obtained from the rats and mice, and transplanted them into the animals subjected to cerebral infarction or spinal cord injury. These data were published in Neuropathology (2003) and Brain Res Protoc (2004). We isolated the BMSC from the green fluorescence protein (GFP)-transgenic mice and transplanted them into the mice subjected to cerebral infarction or spinal cord injury. We could visualize the transplanted cells through the skull or the dura mater in the living animals, using a novel fluorescence imaging technique. These data were published in Brain Res Protoc (2004) and J Neurotrauma (2005). Furthermore, we have confirmed that the transplanted BMSC could improve the GABA receptor function around cerebral infarction and spinal cord injury, using autoradiography and fluorescence immunostaining. These data were published in J Nucl Med (2006) and J Neurotrauma (in press). We also found that the BMSC actively repeat cell proliferation when transplanted into infarct brain, and published the data in Brain Res (2005). In addition, we assessed gene expression profile in the cultured BMSC and clarified that the BMSC have the potential to alter their gene expression profile in response to external stimuli. The data were published in Brain Res (2006). We have clarified that the BMSC have the potential to degrade the extracellular matrix in the spinal cord and produce the chemo-attractant factor for axon elongation of the neurons, using organotypic spinal cord slice culture and a novel "in vitro transplantation" model. The data have been submitted to J Neurosurg. We have also found that fibrin glue is a suitable biomaterial as a scaffold for the BMSC when transplanted into brain cold injury model or spinal cord hemi-section model of the rats. These data has been prepared for submission to Neurosurgery and J Neurotrauma.
