项目摘要

Impaired breathing is a devastating consequence of cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), representing a significant burden to injured people and increasing the risk of mortality. Respiratory dysfunction and associated secondary complications remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in people with cervical SCI. Particularly concerning are reports indicating that the number of cervical SCIs has increased in recent years. While there is mounting clinical and experimental evidence for spontaneous improvements in respiration, the extent of recovery – or functional plasticity – remains incomplete. However, plasticity is reliant on spared neural substrates after incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Thus, the extent of recovery without therapeutic intervention and anatomical repair is limited. To address this limitation, and amplify plasticity and recovery of breathing following cervical SCI, the proposed work aims to use a novel cell therapy to promote repair of phrenic motor pathways that control function of the diaphragm – a respiratory muscle essential to breathing. Results from our recent experimental studies have demonstrated that transplantation of interneuron-rich neural progenitor cells at the site of injury can promote anatomical repair and improve respiratory function following SCI. Transplanted neural precursor cells survive, proliferate and become integrated with injured host spinal cord, contributing to repair of respiratory pathways. The experiments proposed here build upon our extensive experience with the phrenic motor system, to test a novel strategy for transplanting refined interneuronal precursors that are associated with phrenic function. Using a clinically relevant contusion model of cervical SCI, we will test whether transplanted neural progenitors can anatomically and functionally integrate with this phrenic system, and promote consistent, lasting recovery of diaphragm. Not only will these experiments test an innovative and promising treatment approach, but they will significantly improve our understanding of the therapeutic potential of a wide range of neuronal transplantation approaches, including many of the stem cell therapies currently being tested experimentally and clinically.

呼吸障碍是颈脊髓损伤（SCI）的一个毁灭性后果，代表了一个重要的给受伤人员造成负担，增加死亡风险。呼吸功能障碍和相关的继发性并发症仍然是颈椎脊髓损伤患者发病率和死亡率的主要原因。特别有报告指出，近年子宫颈严重急性感染的数目有所增加。虽然越来越多的临床和实验证据表明呼吸的自发改善，恢复的程度 - 或功能可塑性-仍然不完整。然而，可塑性是依赖于备用的神经基板后，不完全性脊髓损伤（SCI）。因此，在没有治疗干预和解剖学检查的情况下，修复有限。为了解决这一限制，并扩大可塑性和恢复呼吸以下颈椎脊髓损伤，拟议的工作旨在使用一种新的细胞疗法，以促进修复膈运动控制横膈膜功能的通路--横膈膜是呼吸所必需的呼吸肌。我们最近的实验研究结果表明，损伤部位的神经前体细胞可以促进解剖修复并改善呼吸功能 SCI之后。移植的神经前体细胞存活、增殖并与受损宿主整合脊髓，有助于修复呼吸道。这里提出的实验建立在我们的基础上。丰富的经验与膈运动系统，以测试一种新的策略，移植精制与膈神经功能相关的神经元间前体。使用临床相关的挫伤模型，我们将测试移植的神经祖细胞是否能在解剖学和功能上整合与此膈系统，并促进一致，持久恢复横膈膜。这些实验不仅将测试一种创新和有前途的治疗方法，显著提高了我们对广泛的神经元疾病的治疗潜力的理解，移植方法，包括目前正在测试的许多干细胞疗法实验上和临床上。
