Abstract
We compared the effects of placental mesenchymal stromal cells and neural progenitor cells derived from induced human pluripotent cells after their intravenous administration to rats in 24 h after transitory occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. The therapeutic effects were evaluated by the dynamics of animal survival, body weight, neurological deficit, and the volume of infarction focus in 7, 14, 30, and 60 days after surgery. Intravenous injection of neural progenitor cells produced a therapeutic effect on the course of experimental ischemic stroke by increasing animal survival in the most acute period and accelerating compensation of neurological deficit and body weight recovery. Neural progenitor cells were more effective than mesenchymal stromal cells from human placenta. The effectiveness of intravenous transplantation of neural progenitor cells in the model of occlusion of the middle cerebral artery is shown by us for the first time, although the therapeutic effect of their direct transplantation into the brain has already been described.
