Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) induces plasticity within the lumbar spinal circuits thereby improving locomotor recovery in spinal cord injured animals. We examined whether lumbar spinal cord motor neurons and other ventral horn cells of spinally transected (ST) rats were stimulated to produce BDNF mRNA in response to treadmill training. Rats received complete spinal cord transections as neonates (n=20) and one month later, received 4 weeks of either a low (100 steps/training session; n=10) or high (1000 steps/training session; n=10) amount of robotic-assisted treadmill training. Using combined non-radioactive in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical techniques, we found BDNF mRNA expression in HSP27-labeled motor neurons and in non-motor neuron cells was greater after 1000 steps/training session compared to the 100 steps/training session and was similar to BDNF mRNA labeling in untrained intact rats. In addition, there were significantly more motor neurons that contained BDNF mRNA labeling within processes in the ST rats that received the higher amount of treadmill training. These findings suggested that motor neurons and other ventral horn cells in spinally transected rats synthesized BDNF in response to treadmill training. The findings support a mechanism by which postsynaptic release of BDNF from motor neurons contributed to synaptic plasticity.
