Objective To observe the effect of transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) induced by all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) combined with glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) on the neurological functional recovery of injured spinal cord in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. Methods Sixty adult SD female rats, weighing 200-250 g, were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=12): sham operation group (group A), SCI model group (group B), NSCs+GDNF treatment group (group C), NSCs+ChABC treatment group (group D), and NSCs+GDNF+ChABC treatment group (group E). T10 segmental transversal injury model of the spinal cord was established except group A. NSCs induced by ATRA and marked with BrdU were injected into the site of injury at 8 days after operation in groups C-E. Groups C-E were treated with GDNF, ChABC, and GDNF+ChABC respectively at 8-14 days after operation;and group A and B were treated with the same amount of saline solution. Basso Beattie Bresnahan (BBB) score and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) test were used to study the functional improvement at 1 day before remodeling, 7 days after remodeling, and at 1, 2, 5, and 8 weeks after transplantation. Immunofluorescence staining and HE staining were performed to observe the cells survival and differentiation in the spinal cord. Results Five mouse died but another rats were added. At each time point after modeling, BBB score of groups B, C, D, and E was significantly lower than that of group A, and SEP latent period was significantly longer than that of group A (P<0.05), but no difference was found among groups B, C, D, and E at 7 days after remodeling and 1 week after transplantation (P>0.05). BBB score of groups C, D, and E was significantly higher than that of group B, and SEP latent period was significantly shorter than that of group B at 2, 5, and 8 weeks after transplantation (P<0.05);group E had higher BBB score and shorter SEP latent period than groups C and D at 5 and 8 weeks, showing significant difference (P<0.05). HE staining showed that there was a clear boundary between gray and white matter of spinal cord and regular arrangement of cells in group A;there were incomplete vascular morphology, irregular arrangement of cells, scar, and cysts in group B;there were obvious cell hyperplasia and smaller cysts in groups C, D, and E. BrdU positive cells were not observed in groups A and B, but could be found in groups C, D and E. Group E had more positive cells than groups C and D, and difference was significant (P<0.05). The number of glial fibrillary acidic protein positive cells of groups C, D, and E was significantly less than that of groups A and B, and it was significantly less in group E than groups C and D (P<0.05). The number of microtubule-associated protein 2 positive cells of groups C, D, and E was significantly more than that of groups A and B, and it was significantly more in group E than groups C and D (P<0.05). Conclusion The NSCs transplantation combined with GDNF and ChABC could significantly promote the functional recovery of spinal cord injury, suggesting that GDNF and ChABC have a synergistic effect in the treatment of spinal cord injury.
