Recombinant Human Erythropoietin Protects against Experimental Spinal Cord Trauma Injury by Regulating Expression of the Proteins MKP-1 and p-ERK

Abstract: The present study explored the tissueprotective effect of erythropoietin in rats after experimental spinal cord injury (SCI) produced by dropping a weight onto surgically exposed spinal cord. Sixty rats were randomized to sham operation (spinal cord exposure; control), SCI plus intraperitoneal saline injection, or SCI plus intraperitoneal erythropoietin injection. Locomotor function was evaluated with Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scores 1 day (24 h) and 7 days later, and rats were then killed for analysis of l… Show more

“…Mechanical injury (primary injury) is the characteristic pathophysiology of acute SCI, followed by a phase of "secondary injury" involving ischemia, calcium-and sodium-mediated cellular injury, excitotoxic cell death, inflammation, and apoptosis [2,3]. Pharmacologic intervention during the acute phase of SCI is used to counteract the secondary neurotoxic events and inhibit inflammation [4].…”

“…Different classes of molecules were shown to afford variable levels of clinical recovery in animal models of SCI. These comprise anti-inflammatory compounds such as minocycline, neurotrophic factors (BDNF, GDNF, NGF, erythropoietin) and molecules that alleviate regenerating axons from the inhibitory effects of extracellular matrix molecules (9,10). In particular, chondroitinase ABC eliminates chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPG) that interact with the major membranous component NG2 and inhibit the regeneration of damaged axons (11).…”

“…Interestingly, EPO attenuates brain edema in this model by preventing the activation of ERK1/2 (52). Similarly, the beneficial effects of EPO in a rat model of spinal cord injury have been attributed to the ability of EPO to reduce the phosphorylation of ERK (53).…”
