Basso mouse scale (BMS) scores were used to test the locomotor functions. The histopathological changes in spinal cord were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and NF-200 immunohistochemistry. Real-time PCR, immunofluorescence and flow cytometry were employed to analyze the polarized phenotypes of the microglia and infiltrating MDMs, and the resulting inflammatory responses. Furthermore, the role of infiltrating MDMs were investigated by MDMs depletion using systemic administration of clodronate-liposomes.Results: SCIRI significantly impaired locomotor function of mice, accompanied with progressed necrosis, infiltration of inflammatory cells and neuron loss in the spinal cord. M1-related pro-inflammatory markers (iNOS, CD16, CD86 and TNF-α) increased dramatically in the early phase following SCIRI. In contrast, M2-related anti-inflammatory markers (CD204 and CD206) elevated at later stage. Besides, the invading MDMs were principally pro-inflammatory M1 type, transiently restricted to the first week after SCIRI. In contrast, microglia were the main source of anti-inflammatory M2 type. Furthermore, depletion of MDMs by clodronate-liposomes significantly preserved neurological functions and relieved neuronal damage caused by SCIRI.Conclusion: These findings suggested distinct polarized status of resident microglia and MDMs following SCIRI. Inhibition of the invading MDMs may represent a novel approach for SCIRI treatment.Keywords: spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury, microglia, monocyte derived macrophages, polarization, inflammation |
