Rat umbilical cord matrix (RUCM) cells are stem-cell-like cells and have been shown to reduce neuronal loss in the selectively vulnerable brain regions after cardiac arrest (CA). Here, we investigate whether this protection is mediated by the RUCM cells’ modulation of the post-ischemia inflammation responses, which have long been implicated as a secondary mechanism of injury following ischemia. Brain sections were examined immunohistochemically for GFAP, vimentin, and nestin as markers for astroglia and reactive astrogliosis, Ricinus Communis Agglutinin-1 (RCA-1) as a marker for microglia, and Ki67 as a marker for cell proliferation. Rats were randomly assigned to six experimental groups: (1) 8-min CA without treatment, (2) 8-min CA pretreated with culture medium injection, (3) 8-min CA pretreated with RUCM cells, (4) sham-operated CA, (5) medium injection without CA, and (6) RUCM cell transplantation without CA. Groups 1–3 have significantly higher Ki67+ cell counts and higher GFAP+ immunoreactivity in the hippocampal CA1 region compared to groups 4–6, irrespective of treatment. Groups 1 and 2 have highly elevated GFAP+, vimentin+, and nestin+ immunoreactivity, indicating reactive astrogliosis. Strikingly, RUCM cell treatment nearly completely inhibited the appearance of vimentin+ and greatly reduced nestin+ reactive astrocytes. RUCM cell treatment also greatly reduced RCA-1 expression, which is found to strongly correlate with the neuronal loss in the CA1 region. Our study indicates that treatment with stem-cell-like RUCM cells modulates the inflammatory response to global ischemia and renders neuronal protection by preventing permanent damage to the selectively vulnerable astrocytes in the CA1 region.
