目的比较含嗅鞘细胞(OEC)或(和)体外溃变的周围神经移植对成年大鼠视网膜神经节细胞(RGC)轴突再生的影响。方法将24只成年雄性Sprague-Dawley大鼠随机分为4组,每组各6只大鼠:A组(周围神经对照组):将取出的一段自体坐骨神经与眶内切断的左侧视神经近侧断端吻合;B组(OEC注入周围神经组):自取出的坐骨神经两端注入10μlOEC悬液后移植于视神经断端。C组(周围神经体外溃变组):将取出的坐骨神经在体外单独培养5d后植于视神经断端;D组(OEC-周围神经共培养组):将取出的坐骨神经与OEC共培养5d后植于视神经断端。移植术后4周处死动物,计数各组以5%荧光金逆行标记的再生RGC数量。结果B、C、D三组RGC均数1481±268、1235±266和1464±285显著高于A组799±109(P值分别为0.0002、0.0010和0.0003);B、C、D三组间差异无统计学意义(P值分别为0.3644、0.9167和0.4344)。结论OEC具有促进RGC轴突在新鲜周围神经移植物中再生的作用,但这种作用与体外溃变的周围神经相比无明显差异,二者亦无协同作用。
Objective To compare the effects of olfactory ensheathing cell (OEC)-containing and pre-degenerated peripheral nerve (PN) transplantation on the axonal regeneration of axotomized retinal ganglion cells (RGC) in adult rats. Methods Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 rats in each group. A segment of the normal (group A) or 10μl-OEC-injected (group B) autogenetie sciatic nerve was sutured onto the ocular stump of the left transected optic nerve (ON). In another 2 groups, the removed sciatic nerve was cultured (group C) or co-cultured with OEC (group D) in vitro for 5 days before transplantation. All animals were executed 4 weeks after transplantation, and the number of Fluoro-gold-labeled RGC in each group was counted. Results The averages of regenerating RGC in group B (1481±268), C (1235±266) and D (1464±285) were significantly higher than that in group A (799±109; P=0. 0002, 0. 0010 and 0. 0003, respectively). No significant difference was found among group B, C and D (P=0. 3644, 0. 9167 and 0. 4344). Conclusion OEC can promote the axonal regeneration of axotomized RGC in fresh PN graft, which doesn't differ much from the effect of the pre-degenerated PN graft. No additive effect of OEC and the pre-degenerated PN graft can be detected.
