Abstract：
:This study was undertaken as part of the NIH "Facilities of Research-Spinal Cord Injury" project to support independent replication of published studies. Here, we repeated a study reporting that a combinatorial treatment with transplants of Schwann cells, systemic delivery of Rolipram to enhance cyclic AMP levels, and intra-spinal injections of dibutyryl cyclic AMP enhanced locomotor recovery in rats after contusion injuries at the thoracic level. We compared the following experimental groups: 1) rats that received Schwann cell transplants, systemic Rolipram, and injections of db-cyclic AMP (the combined treatment group that showed the greatest improvement in function); 2) rats that received Schwann cell transplants only and implantation of empty pumps as control; 3) rats that received Rolipram only and implantation of empty pumps as control, and 4) control rats that received no treatment other than the injection of DMEM into the spinal cord and implantation of empty pumps. The principal findings reported in Pearse et al. were not replicated in that the combined treatment group did not exhibit greater recovery on any of the measures, although the group that received Schwann cells only did exhibit enhanced recovery on several of the outcome measures. The failure of the combined treatment may be due in part to less successful engraftment of Schwann cells in our study vs. Pearse et al. Issues relating to failures to replicate, especially when effect size is small, are discussed.
