Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim was to evaluate the potential effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) and BMSC-EX in the sciatic nerve injury. Forty-five rats were divided into four groups, i.e. Group I control no surgery or treatment, Group II sciatic nerve crush surgery and 1 week post-surgery, Group III sciatic nerve crush injury was treated with BMSC, and Group IV sciatic nerve crush injury was treated with BMSC-EX. All animal groups were euthanized 2 weeks after treatment. Sciatic nerves were examined histologically and immunohistochemically. Group II showed various histological changes, i.e. vacuolation, degeneration and loss of nerve fibers. Group II showed a significant increase in collagen fibers, but with significant reduction in osmium tetroxide (OsO4)-stained myelin sheaths and neurofilament immunostaining compared to Group I. Group II also revealed distortion and disruption of myelinated nerve fibers. Groups III and IV showed significant improvement of both histological and immunohistochemical changes in Group II. BMSC and BMSC-EX were shown to improve axonal regeneration.
期刊介绍:
The official journal of the National Society for Histotechnology, Journal of Histotechnology, aims to advance the understanding of complex biological systems and improve patient care by applying histotechniques to diagnose, prevent and treat diseases.
Journal of Histotechnology is concerned with educating practitioners and researchers from diverse disciplines about the methods used to prepare tissues and cell types, from all species, for microscopic examination. This is especially relevant to Histotechnicians.
Journal of Histotechnology welcomes research addressing new, improved, or traditional techniques for tissue and cell preparation. This includes review articles, original articles, technical notes, case studies, advances in technology, and letters to editors.
Topics may include, but are not limited to, discussion of clinical, veterinary, and research histopathology.
