6 Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) 12,000 new cases / year in the U.S. Approx million Americans with paralysis due to SCI; 5.3 million with paralysis due to some type of CNS injury/disorder Nearly 50%, ages 16-30; 80%,males Higher occurrence in military, Dept of Defense funding MVAs (36.5%), falls (28.5), violence (14)
7 Quality of Life Issues with SCI Muscle paralysis, loss of feeling Reduced pulmonary function Early cardiovascular disease, stroke, DVTs Lack of bowel and bladder control; infection Temperature, blood pressure vary widely Pressure ulcers, osteoporosis Sexual function/fertility impaired Pain long term, 80 % Obesity, diabetes, cognitive decline
8 Cultured cells for CNS repair If we have normal cell types available in culture and if a nervous system disease stems from an absence or deficiency of one of these cell types, then it is an obvious step to transfer cultured cells into the diseased animal to attempt to correct the deficiency. Whereas at present this would not seem practical for many types of neurons, it may be practical for supporting cells (e.g. Schwann or glial).

21 Schwann cell biology in vitro SCs generate a number of ECM components SCs require contact with ECM to differentiate SCs require contact with axons to form basal lamina SCs require basal lamina to form myelin SCs require ascorbic acid to form myelin (Type IV collagen) [Defined medium (N2) supported SC profileration but not differentiation]
22 Schwann cell biology in vitro - 2 Mitogenic signal on axons for SC proliferation (control of SC #) Perineurium formed in cultures of neurons, SCs and fibroblasts Perineurium formed from fibroblasts, not SCs (Lac-Z retrovirus) Circumnavigation by inner lip of SC cytoplasm a part of myelin formation mechanism

26 Why Schwann cells? Promote axon regeneration/pn Aguayo team; CNS axons regenerated into PN Are readily accessible in PN Produce growth factors, ECM Myelinate axons in CNS, restore activity Can obtain large numbers in culture Can transplant person s own cells Can genetically engineer cells Promising pre-clinical data in multiple species (rats, pigs, primates) ; FDA approval for human SCs

29 How do we measure outcome? -Behavior: Walking? Pain assessment? -Histology: Lesion volume, overall tissue changes -Transplanted SC survival and number? -Count SC-myelinated axons? Total # axons? -Immunostaining Scar formation? Types of axons in implant, and beyond? Inflammatory response? -Neuroanatomical tracing What spinal and supraspinal neurons responded? What types of axons regenerated into implant? Did these axons leave implant?
30 SC/Matrigel bridge at 30 dpt

32 Thoracic complete transection model: Schwann cells Axons grow onto SC bridge from both stumps 2000 myelinated axons on bridge 8x more non-myelinated axons/bridge
33 Transplants at 12 wk after contusion injury LV-GFP Dr. Damien Pearse
34 Thoracic contusion model: Schwann cells Reduce cyst formation Protect spinal cord tissue from secondary damage Support axonal growth into SC graft ~5000 SC-myelinated axons in graft Some improvement in walking after paralysis
35 Injured spinal cord tissue environment -1 Excessive EAA (e.g., glutamate) release EAA receptor activation Excessive Ca ++ entry into cells Ca ++ stimulated activation of proteolytic and other degradative enzymes Cytoskeletal protein breakdown Oxygen free radical release leading to membrane damage Cytokine, chemokine release
36 Injured spinal cord tissue environment-2 Many tissue damaging sequelae initiated, leading to secondary damage Substances inhibitory to repair appear Inflammation begins Barrier to axon growth (scar) forms Sustenance for surviving nerve cells cut off Cyst created due to tissue loss, preventing axon regrowth
37 To repair the cord - 1 Halt spread of secondary tissue damage Save as many nerve cells as possible Curb inflammation Reduce scar formation Neutralize inhibitory factors
38 To repair the cord - 2 Awaken nerve cells to regrow axons Provide sustenance to nerve cells Promote axon growth across injury Guide growth to appropriate area Enable formation of connections
39 Combination strategies: SCs + Steroid (used clinically) Variety of growth factors Another cell type (olfactory ensheathing cells) An enzyme (to reduce scar formation) Elevation of a cell signaling molecule, camp Introduction of genes to improve Schwann cell efficacy ALL THESE IMPROVED REPAIR/FUNCTION
40 Combination strategies: SCs + More SC-myelinated axons in graft Increase in regenerated axons from neurons above spinal cord (Distance factor overcome) Exit of regenerated axons from graft into the cord More improvement in walking
41 SCs with added growth factor gene survive better and improve axon growth Control SCs SCs + growth factor
42 Viral Vector/growth factor (GF)- engineered SC study (2007) GF levels signif. increased in cord at 2 dpt, low levels up to 6 wpt GF led to 5X increase in graft vol, SC # GF led to a signif. increase in myel. axons (SC 5,100; LV-GFP SCs 4,600; LV-GFP/GF SCS 26,000) and total axons (~75,000) DβH+ fiber length signif. increased with GF No improvement in walking
43 Combined engineering of Schwann cell implants to secrete neurotrophin and chondroitinase promotes axonal regeneration and locomotion after SCI H Kanno, Y Pressman, A Moody, R Berg, E Muir, J Rogers, H Ozawa, E Itoi, D Pearse, M Bunge

Vehicle (no cells) (control) 2. green-scs + red-scs (control) 3. green/gf-scs + red-scs 4. green-scs + red/enz-scs 5. green/gf-scs + red/enz-scs

50 Combination vs single treatments Further increase in implant compared to GF or ENZ Further increase in SC myel axons compared to ENZ Higher number of responding neurons above cord than with GF or ENZ Higher number of their axons in implant and in cord beyond than with GF or ENZ Improved walking scores Lessened pain in hindpaws
51 Experimental Neurology 1997;148: The ability of human Schwann cell grafts to promote regeneration in the transected nude rat spinal cord Guest JD, Rao A, Olson L, Bunge MB, Bunge RP The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, The Organ Procurement Team, Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Miami School of Medicine, Miami, Florida Nude athymic rats Human SCs/Matrigel, with or without PAN/PVC channels T8 complete transection, T9-10 cord removed Methylprednisolone
52 Myelinated axons, ~2,000 Propriospinal, sensory, motoneuronal, brainstem (DβH, 5HT) axons in SC bridge Propriospinal and sensory axons re-entered the spinal cord (up to 2.6 mm) Walking scores significantly improved Robust axon growth into SC bridge, some growth beyond and modest improvement in locomotion
53 Human Schwann cells Can be isolated and readily increased in # in culture Up to 10 m SCs, single adult sural nerve biopsy 100 m SCs in 3-4 wk Variation in rate of increase from donor to donor Preparation: Careful dissection of bundles Intro culture medium with forskolin ( camp) and heregulin (mitogenic), 1 wk Overnight incubation in collagenase and dispase; then mechanical dissociation of fascicles by trituration Onto laminin, with forskolin and heregulin (all reduce fibroblasts, leading to 95% SCs or higher)
54 APPROVAL FROM THE FDA FOR OUR FIRST SC TRIAL Phase 1 (for safety) Clinical trial: to inject person s own Schwann cells (from peripheral nerve*) into site of SCI SC number increased in culture for 3-5 wk SCs injected into lesion epicenter *From single adult sural nerve biopsy, 100 m SCs/ 3-4 wk
