Abstract (original English)

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a highly destructive disease in human neurological functions. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) have tissue regenerations and anti-inflammations, especially with prion protein overexpression (PrPc OE ). Therefore, this study tested whether PrPc OE -ADMSCs therapy offered benefits in improving outcomes via regulating nod-like-receptor-protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome/DAMP signalling after acute SCI in rats. Compared with ADMSCs only, the capabilities of PrPc OE -ADMSCs were significantly enhanced in cellular viability, anti-oxidative stress and migration against H 2 O 2 and lipopolysaccharide damages. Similarly, PrPc OE -ADMSCs significantly inhibited the inflammatory patterns of Raw264.7 cells. The SD rats (n = 32) were categorized into group 1 (Sham-operated-control), group 2 (SCI), group 3 (SCI + ADMSCs) and group 4 (SCI + PrPc OE -ADMSCs). Compared with SCI group 2, both ADMSCs and PrPc OE -ADMSCs significantly improved neurological functions. Additionally, the circulatory inflammatory cytokines levels (TNF-α/IL-6) and inflammatory cells (CD11b/c+/MPO+/Ly6G+) were highest in group 2, lowest in group 1, and significantly higher in group 3 than in group 4. By Day 3 after SCI induction, the protein expressions of inflammasome signalling (HGMB1/TLR4/MyD88/TRIF/c-caspase8/FADD/p-NF-κB/NEK7/NRLP3/ASC/c-caspase1/IL-ß) and by Day 42
