ABSTRACT

STUDY PURPOSE: A major hurdle for functional recovery after spinal cord injury is the limited re- growth of the axons in the corticospinal tract (CST) that originate in the motor cortex and innervate the spinal cord. In this study, we tested whether post-lesional AAV-assisted co- expression of two soluble proteins, namely insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and osteopontin (OPN), in cortical neurons leads to CST regrowth and CST-dependent functional recovery.

DATA COLLECTED: With an incomplete spinal cord injury model (T10 lateral hemisection), we tested the sensitizing effect of OPN/IGF1 on corticospinal neurons, the extent of axon regrowth both in the injured side (axon regeneration) and the intact side (collateral axon sprouting). In addition, we assessed behavioral performance for both gross and skilled locomotion in mice treated with OPN/IGF1 post T10 lateral hemisection.

PRIMARY CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate a potentially translatable strategy for restoring cortical dependent function after injury in the adult.
