Effective treatment of diabetic neuropathy (DN) remains unsolved. We serendipitously observed dramatic relief of pain in several patients with painful DN receiving granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). The aim of this study was to determine if G-CSF could treat DN in an animal model and to ascertain its mechanism of action. In a rodent model of DN, G-CSF dramatically recovered nerve function, retarded histological nerve changes and increased the expression of neurotrophic factors within nerve. A sex-mismatched bone marrow transplantation (BMT) study revealed that G-CSF treatment increased the abundance of bone marrow (BM)-derived cells in nerves damaged by DN. However, we did not observe evidence of transdifferentiation or cell fusion of BM-derived cells. The beneficial effects of G-CSF were dependent on the integrity of BM. In conclusion, G-CSF produced a therapeutic effect in a rodent model of DN, which was attributed, at least in part, to the actions of BM-derived cells.
糖尿病神经病变(DN)的有效治疗方法仍未找到。我们意外地观察到,几名接受粒细胞集落刺激因子(G-CSF)治疗的疼痛性DN患者的疼痛得到了显著缓解。本研究的目的是确定G-CSF是否能在动物模型中治疗DN,并确定其作用机制。在DN的啮齿动物模型中,G-CSF显著恢复了神经功能,延缓了神经组织学变化,并增加了神经内神经营养因子的表达。一项性别不匹配的骨髓移植(BMT)研究表明,G-CSF治疗增加了DN损伤神经中骨髓(BM)来源细胞的数量。然而,我们没有观察到BM来源细胞转分化或细胞融合的证据。G-CSF的有益作用依赖于BM的完整性。总之,G-CSF在DN的啮齿动物模型中产生了治疗效果,这至少部分归因于BM来源细胞的作用。
