Abstract:
:The study was performed to investigate the effect of combination therapy with aminoguanidine (AG) and dexamethasone (DEX) on the compression spinal cord injury (SCI) in rat. Compared to the control group, the combination therapy group with AG (75 mg/kg) and DEX (0.025 mg/kg) significantly reduced the degree of (1) spinal cord edema, (2) the permeability of blood spinal cord barrier (measured by (99m)Tc-Albumin), (3) infiltration of neutrophils (MPO evaluation), (4) cytokines expression (tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1 beta), and (5) apoptosis (measured by Bax and Bcl-2 expression). In addition, we have also clearly demonstrated that the combination therapy significantly ameliorated the recovery of limb function (evaluated by motor recovery score). Taken together, our results clearly indicated for the first time that strategies targeting multiple proinflammatory pathways may be more effective than a single effector molecule for the treatment of SCI.
