dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Currently, the standard treatments for ischemic stroke are
intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular recanalization. In the acute phase
(<4.5 hours), only 3.2 % to 5.2% of ischemic stroke patients are eligible for
intravenous thrombolysis treatment. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are
multipotent cells that can differentiate into different types of cells. MSCs will
secrete secretomes that contain growth factors, chemokines, cytokines and
bioactive lipids which is a potential therapy to improve neurological deficit in
ischemic stroke. MSCs secretome promote the increasing production of CD31 and
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Secretome hypoxia mesenchymal
stem cells induce neurogenesis and angiogenesis effect from increasing the VEGF
nad CD31 expression and reducing GFAP and S100B expression. Mechanisms
above lead to cell regenerations and neurological function improvement in
ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of 150 μl SHMSCs
injection toward the increasing of VEGF and CD31 expression and
decreasing of GFAP and S100B expression in Rattus norvegicus rats with
ischemic stroke.
Methods: A post-test-only experimental design with consecutive sampling was
used, with 32 Rattus norvegicus as subjects. Secretome mesenchymal stem cells
(SMSCs) under hypoxia condition were isolated from the umbilical cords of rats
at 21 days of gestation. Assessment was carried out by measured the volume area
infarction in rats’ brain and neurological improvement from mNSS in the sham
group, control group (ischemic rats model with middle cerebral artery occlusion
(MCAO) from CCA clamping), and resultant secretome was administered to
ischemic rats subjected at doses of 150 μL (P1 group) and 300 μL (P2 group).
Results: There are significantly diferrent between P2 group toward the increasing
of VEGF (p = 0,028); CD31 (p = 0,031) also the decreasing of GFAP (p =
0,001); S100B (p = 0,029) and control group. There are also significantly
diferrent in neuronal survival percentation from the measurement of volume area
infarction between sham group ( p = 0,001), P1 ( p = 0,001), P2 ( p = 0,001) and
control group also mNSS score between P2 (p = 0,003) and control group.
Conclusion: SH-MSCs can induce cell proliferation, neuron cell survival,
angiogenesis, vascularization, neurogenesis and blood-brain-barrier integrity
recovery in rats’ brain through the increases of VEGF and CD31 expressions also
the decreases of GFAP and S100B, which affects the reduction of infarction volume
area and mNSS. These lead to neurological function and clinical improvement in
ischemic stroke in rats. | en_US |
