Research Abstract

Astroglia form a glia limitans around the injured tissue after spinal cord injury. We used a mouse spinal cord injury model and found that the glia limitans was associated with the suppression of infiltration of inflammatory cells and the perivascular space provides a conduit for inflammatory cells to the expansion from the injury core. In addition, we found that type IV collagen induced expression of thrombospondin-1 in astrocytes. Our results suggest that glia limitans play an important role in the repair process following injured central nervous tissue.
