Abstract

Neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation has been investigated as a means to reconstitute the damaged brain after stroke. In this study, however, we investigated the effect on acute cerebral and peripheral inflammation after intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). NSCs (H1 clone) from fetal human brain were injected intravenously (NSCs-iv, 5 million cells) or intracerebrally (NSCs-ic, 1 million cells) at 2 or 24 h after collagenase-induced ICH in a rat model. Only NSCs-iv-2 h resulted in fewer initial neurologic deteriorations and reduced brain oedema formation, inflammatory infiltrations (OX-42, myeloperoxidase) and apoptosis (activated caspase-3, TUNEL) compared to the vehicle-injected control animals. Rat neurosphere-iv-2 h, but not human fibroblast-iv-2 h, also reduced the brain oedema and the initial neurologic deficits. Human NSCs-iv-2 h also attenuated both cerebral and splenic activations of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB). However, we observed only a few stem cells in brain sections of the NSCs-iv-2 h group; in the main, they were detected in marginal zone of spleens. To investigate whether NSCs interact with spleen to reduce cerebral inflammation, we performed a splenectomy prior to ICH induction, which eliminated the effect of NSCs-iv-2 h transplantation on brain water content and inflammatory infiltrations. NSCs also inhibited in vitro macrophage activations after lipopolysaccharide stimulation in a cell-to-cell contact dependent manner. In summary, early intravenous NSC injection displayed anti-inflammatory functionality that promoted neuroprotection, mainly by interrupting splenic inflammatory responses after ICH.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Microvessels and neuroblasts mutually support each other via release of trophic factors, resulting in a tight interplay that stimulates brain remodelling, reduces delayed neuronal degeneration, promotes neuronal plasticity, modulates glial responses, and attenuates brain inflammation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
