Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Clinical studies have shown that early use of methylprednisolone can promote neurological functional recovery, reasonable initial dose, interval time and treatment duration are the key to the methylprednisolone treatment of acute spinal cord injury.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the differential protein expression profile in spinal cord tissue after intrathecal injection of high-dose methylprednisolone was given in rat model of acute spinal cord injury.
METHODS: Eight Sprague-Dawley rats were included in this study to establish acute spinal cord injury model and the models were randomly divided into two groups, receiving intrathecal injection of methylprednisolone
7.5 mg/kg at 0 and 8 hours after modeling. The injured spinal cord tissue was harvested after 24 hours of injection. The differentially expressed proteins and nerve regeneration-related differential proteins in two groups were analyzed using isotope labeling and quantitative technical analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totally 87 differentially expressed proteins were identified in this study. Compared with 0 hour group, there were 43 up-regulated differential proteins and 44 down-regulated differential proteins in the 8-hour group. Eighteen differential proteins were related to neural regeneration, including 8 up-regulation proteins and 10 down-regulation proteins. OMgp as a potential neural axon growth inhibitory factor specifically bound with NgR/P75/TROY/Lingo-1 to form receptor complexes and activated RhoA through the second messenger cAMP, thus inhibiting the collapse of axon growth cone. Following intrathecal injection of methylprednisolone for treatment of acute spinal cord injury in rats, differential proteins and nerve regeneration-related factors in spinal cord are identified and analyzed for protein database retrieval and protein function analysis, their expression may serve as the indicator of monitoring nerve regeneration after acute spinal cord injury.
