Morphological study of OECs before and after transplantation into injured spinal cord of rat
Objective:To observe the morphological features ofgreen fluorescent protein-olfactory ensheathing cells(GFP-OECs)cultured in vitro and transplanted into injured spinal cord of rats
and study the influence of pathological environment of spinal cord injury and GFP on their morphology. Methods:Outermost olfactory ensheathing cells were isolated from the olfactory bulbs of adult green fluorescent protein transgenic rats
OECs were cultured by enzyme digestion.The cells were observed and photographed regularly with light microscope
laser scanning confocal microscope and transmission electron microscope before transplantation in order to observe their morphological characteristics in vitro culture. When the cells were cultured in medium for 10 days
the cells were transplanted into contusion area of T 10 spinal cord in SD rat with microsurgical technique. The GFP-OECs in spinal cord injury were observed with light and electron microscopes after 7 and 15 days. Results:After primary cultured for 7 days
strong green fluorescence staining of GFP-OECs were observed
GFP-OECs appeared three typical morphology:dipolar
tripolar and oblate
but mainly dipolar.After primary cultured for 10 days
major cells were dipolar. After transplanted into injured spinal cord
the cells were dipolar
the nuclei were irregular
and there were rich rough endoplasmic reticulums
free ribosomes and mitochondrion in the cytoplasm. Conclusion:The morphology of OECs is not effected by GFP. There is no significant morphological difference of GFP-OECs before and after transplantation
the appearance of GFP-OECs do not change in injured spinal cord in its early stage.
