ABSTRACT
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe complication of spinal trauma with high disability and mortality rates. Effective therapeutic methods to alleviate neurobehavioural deficits in patients with SCI are still lacking. In this study, we established a spinal cord contusion (SCC) model in adult Sprague Dawley rats. Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived A2B5+ oligodendrocyte precursor cells (iP-A2B5+OPCs) were obtained from mouse embryonic fibroblasts and injected into the lesion sites of SCC rats. Serological testing and magnetic resonance imaging were employed to determine the effect of iP-A2B5+OPCs cell therapy. The Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan score and inclined plane test were performed on days 1, 3, 7, and 14 after cell transplantation, respectively. Differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) were detected by microarray analysis. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses were performed to analyse the biological functions of these lncRNAs and mRNAs. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to verify variations in the expression of crucial target genes. The results demonstrated that induced pluripotent stem cells exhibited embryonic stem cell-like morphology and could differentiate into diverse neural cells dominated by oligodendrocytes. The neurobehavioural performance of rats treated with iP-A2B5+OPCs transplantation was better than that of rats with SCC without cell transplantation. Notably, we found that 22 lncRNAs and 42 mRNAs were concurrently altered after cell transplantation, and the key lncRNA (NR_037671) and target gene (Cntnap5a) were identified in the iP-A2B5+OPCs group. Moreover, RT-qPCR revealed that iP-A2B5+OPCs transplantation reversed the downregulation of NR_037671 induced by SCC. Our findings indicated that iP-A2B5+OPCs transplantation effectively improves neurological function recovery after SCC, and the mechanism might be related to alterations in the expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs, such as NR_037671 and Cntnap5a.
