The purpose of this study was to investigate quantitatively the longitudinal temporal, spatial changes of the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) immunopositive cells during Wallerian degeneration and the following regeneration after crush injury in rat sciatic nerve using immunohistochemistry and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The number of TNF-immunopositive cells reached its peak and increased significantly in all the segments distal to the crush site 3 days after injury. On Day 7, TNF-immunopositive cells decreased in all the segments distal to the crush site, and a significant decrease was observed 14 days after injury. From Day 21 to Day 56, there were no significant differences in the numbers of TNF-immunopositive cells. The average size of TNF immunopossitive cells became significantly larger with degeneration. The number of IL-10-immunopositive cells decreases significantly 1 day after crush injury. IL-10-immunopositive cells increased on Day 3, returning to control levels. Seven days after injury, a significant increase in the number of IL-10-immunopositive cells was observed. There was also no significant difference in the number of IL-10-immunopositive cells beyond Day 14 except for apart of distal segments. The number of IL-10-immunopositive cells showed no significant differences in all the segments on Day 56. The protein levels of IL-10 measured by ELISA were similar to the result of immunohistochemistry. These results suggest that the significant change in IL-10 occurred prior to the significant change in TNF and that IL-10 may be the key to the change in TNF. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
