Objective: To explore the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CSF-cNs) and endogenous neural progenitor cells (ENPCs) and whether CSF-cNs are involved in nerve repair after spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: Cholera toxin B-horseradish peroxidase complex (CB-HRP) and cholera toxin B conjugated with saporin (CB-SAP) were injected into the lateral ventricles of spinal cord injured rats to mark and destroy the CSF-cNs. Then the rats in the experimental group were injured by SCI. Observe the content and co-expression of CSF-cNs and ENPCs in rats of each group, and observe the recovery of motor function after SCI in each group. Results: After the destruction of CSF-cNs, the number of ENPCs decreased significantly in the long term after the surgery, and the recovery of motor function also deteriorated as compared to the group with intact CSF-cNs. Meanwhile some cells in the spinal cord express both the biological marker of CSF-cNs and ENPCs. Conclusion: This study shows that the population of ENPCs and motor function recovery in SCI rats declined after the destruction of CSF-cNs, suggesting that CSF-cNs affect the ENPCs population and may be involved in the recovery of neural function after SCI.
