Intrathecal Injection in A Rat Model: A Potential Route to Deliver Human Wharton's Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells into the Brain.

Abstract:

:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered as promising therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative disorders because they can reduce underlying pathology and also repair damaged tissues. Regarding the delivery of MSCs into the brain, intravenous and intra-arterial routes may be less feasible than intraparenchymal and intracerebroventricular routes due to the blood-brain barrier. Compared to the intraparenchymal or intracerebroventricular routes, however, the intrathecal route may have advantages: this route can deliver MSCs throughout the entire neuraxis and it is less invasive since brain surgery is not required. The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution of human Wharton's jelly-derived MSCs (WJ-MSCs) injected via the intrathecal route in a rat model. WJ-MSCs (1 × 106) were intrathecally injected via the L2-3 intervertebral space in 6-week-old Sprague Dawley rats. These rats were then sacrificed at varying time points: 0, 6, and 12 h following injection. At 12 h, a significant number of MSCs were detected in the brain but not in other organs. Furthermore, with a 10-fold higher dose of WJ-MSCs, there was a substantial increase in the number of cells migrating to the brain. These results suggest that the intrathecal route can be a promising route for the performance of stem cell therapy for CNS diseases.
