Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a highly destructive disease in human neurological functions. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) have tissue regenerations and anti-inflammations, especially with prion protein overexpression (PrPc ). Therefore, this study tested whether PrPc -ADMSCs therapy offered benefits in improving outcomes via regulating nod-like-receptor-protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome/DAMP signalling after acute SCI in rats. Compared with ADMSCs only, the capabilities of PrPc -ADMSCs were significantly enhanced in cellular viability, anti-oxidative stress and migration against H O and lipopolysaccharide damages. Similarly, PrPc -ADMSCs significantly inhibited the inflammatory patterns of Raw264.7 cells. The SD rats (n = 32) were categorized into group 1 (Sham-operated-control), group 2 (SCI), group 3 (SCI + ADMSCs) and group 4 (SCI + PrPc -ADMSCs). Compared with SCI group 2, both ADMSCs and PrPc -ADMSCs significantly improved neurological functions. Additionally, the circulatory inflammatory cytokines levels (TNF-α/IL-6) and inflammatory cells (CD11b/c+/MPO+/Ly6G+) were highest in group 2, lowest in group 1, and significantly higher in group 3 than in group 4. By Day 3 after SCI induction, the protein expressions of inflammasome signalling (HGMB1/TLR4/MyD88/TRIF/c-caspase8/FADD/p-NF-κB/NEK7/NRLP3/ASC/c-caspase1/IL-ß) and by Day 42 the protein expressions of DAMP-inflammatory signalling (HGMB1/TLR-4/MyD88/TRIF/TRAF6/p-NF-κB/TNF-α/IL-1ß) in spinal cord tissues displayed an identical pattern as the inflammatory patterns. In conclusion, PrPc -ADMSCs significantly attenuated SCI in rodents that could be through suppressing the inflammatory signalling.
创伤性脊髓损伤(SCI)是一种对人类神经功能具有高度破坏性的疾病。脂肪间充质干细胞(ADMSCs)具有组织再生和抗炎作用,特别是在朊病毒蛋白过表达(PrPc)时。因此,本研究测试了 PrPc-ADMSCs 疗法是否通过调节急性 SCI 后大鼠中的核苷酸结合寡聚化结构域样受体蛋白 3(NLRP3)炎性小体/DAMP 信号通路来改善结局。与 ADMSCs 相比,PrPc-ADMSCs 在细胞活力、抗氧化应激和对 H2O2 和脂多糖损伤的迁移能力方面显著增强。同样,PrPc-ADMSCs 显著抑制了 Raw264.7 细胞的炎症模式。32 只 SD 大鼠(n=32)分为第 1 组(假手术对照)、第 2 组(SCI)、第 3 组(SCI+ADMSCs)和第 4 组(SCI+PrPc-ADMSCs)。与 SCI 组 2 相比,ADMSCs 和 PrPc-ADMSCs 均显著改善了神经功能。此外,在第 2 组中循环炎症细胞因子水平(TNF-α/IL-6)和炎症细胞(CD11b/c+/MPO+/Ly6G+)最高,在第 1 组中最低,在第 3 组中明显高于第 4 组。在 SCI 诱导后第 3 天,炎性小体信号蛋白表达(HGMB1/TLR4/MyD88/TRIF/c-caspase8/FADD/p-NF-κB/NEK7/NRLP3/ASC/c-caspase1/IL-ß)和在第 42 天脊髓组织中的 DAM 炎性信号蛋白表达(HGMB1/TLR-4/MyD88/TRIF/TRAF6/p-NF-κB/TNF-α/IL-1ß)呈现出与炎症模式相同的模式。总之,PrPc-ADMSCs 显著减轻了 SCI 模型鼠的 SCI,其机制可能是通过抑制炎症信号。
