AbstractThe present study examined the effects of peripheral nerve (PN) graft and neurotrophic factors on the expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and the survival of Clarke's nucleus (CN) neurons at the first lumbar spinal segment (L1) 15 days after hemisection of the spinal cord at T11. Normal intact CN neurons did not express NOS. Forty-one percent of the ipsilateral CN neurons survived after hemisection at T11, and 48% of the surviving neurons expressed NOS. Transplantation of PN graft at the lesion site promoted the survival of CN neurons to 71% and increased the expression of NOS to 70%. Continuous infusion of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, ciliary neurotrophic factor, and neurotrophic-3, but not glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor, at the lesion site enhanced the survival of CN neurons to about 65%. Among the surviving neurons about 70% were NOS-positive. These results indicated that transplantation of autologous PN graft or continuous infusion of neurotrophic factors could enhance the survival of axotomized CN neurons. In addition, the survival-promoting function of the neurotrophic agents was coincided with the upregulation of the expression of NOS. However, whether the upregulation of NOS expression in injured CN neurons is related to the rescue function or is a side effect of the neurotrophic factors is not clear and needed further investigation.
