Assessment of mitochondrial respiratory capacity using minimally invasive and noninvasive techniques in persons with spinal cord injury

PLoS ONE, 2022 • March 11, 2022

This study investigated the use of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as less invasive alternatives to muscle biopsies for assessing mitochondrial respira...

KEY FINDING: A significant positive relationship was observed between PBMC and permeabilized skeletal muscle for mitochondrial complex IV (r = 0.86, P < 0.0001), indicating that PBMC measurements can reflect muscle mitochondrial function for this specific complex.

Progression in translational research on spinal cord injury based on microenvironment imbalance

Bone Research, 2022 • April 26, 2022

This review summarizes the latest research progress on two aspects of SCI pathology: intraneuronal microenvironment imbalance and regenerative microenvironment imbalance. We also review repair strateg...

KEY FINDING: The development of a combined, precise, and multitemporal strategy for repairing the injured spinal cord is a potential future direction.

Thrombin induces morphological and inflammatory astrocytic responses via activation of PAR1 receptor

Cell Death Discovery, 2022 • April 28, 2022

This study investigates the effects of thrombin, a serine protease, on astrocytes following spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. SCI leads to increased thrombin levels, which activate protease-activated ...

KEY FINDING: Thrombin reverses astrocytic stellation, promoting proliferation but inhibiting migration.

Identification of a circRNA-mediated comprehensive ceRNA network in spinal cord injury pathogenesis

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2022 • June 1, 2022

The study identifies differentially expressed immune-related genes (DEIRGs) and their ceRNA mechanisms in spinal cord injury (SCI) pathogenesis using microarray datasets and a rat SCI model. Bioinform...

KEY FINDING: Hsa_circ_0026646 was identified as a core circRNA upregulated in SCI, potentially acting as a 'molecular sponge' for miR-331-3p.

Inflammation and Oxidative Stress as Common Mechanisms of Pulmonary, Autonomic and Musculoskeletal Dysfunction after Spinal Cord Injury

Biology, 2022 • April 1, 2022

At the time a spinal cord injury is produced, a loss of motor capacity is evident, and a period of vital risk related to neurological compromise, instability of cardio-respiratory function and the dev...

KEY FINDING: At the respiratory level, tissue damage is notable in situations that require increased ventilation due to lower thoracic distensibility and alveolar inflammation caused by higher levels of leptin as a result of increased fatty tissue.

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Exerts Neuroprotective Effects in a Mouse Spinal Cord Injury Model by Modulating the Microenvironment at the Lesion Site

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 • April 25, 2022

This study demonstrates that fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can exert neuroprotective effects in a mouse model of spinal cord injury (SCI). FMT treatment improved the microenvironment at the l...

KEY FINDING: FMT treatment significantly improved spinal cord tissue sparing, vascular perfusion, and BSCB integrity in SCI mice.

Development of Phage Cocktails to Treat E. coli Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection and Associated Biofilms

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 • May 10, 2022

This study developed phage cocktails effective against E. coli strains isolated from urine of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), which exhibit strong biofilm-forming properties, addressing the cha...

KEY FINDING: Nine phages were identified that individually decreased cell viability by >80% when added to biofilms of two E. coli strains in human urine.

Notch, Numb and Numb-Like Responses to Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage in Human Skeletal Muscle

Exp Physiol, 2022 • August 1, 2022

The investigation examined changes in the gene and protein expression of Notch, Numb, and Numb-like (Numbl) in human skeletal muscle after an acute bout of eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage. Th...

KEY FINDING: Notch1 mRNA expression trended toward a significant increase from Pre to 2 Days post-muscle damage from baseline measures (p = 0.087).

FANCC deficiency mediates microglial pyroptosis and secondary neuronal apoptosis in spinal cord contusion

Cell & Bioscience, 2022 • June 15, 2022

This study identifies a previously unknown role of FANCC in SCI, where its deficiency leads to microglia pyroptosis, neuronal apoptosis and neurological damage. Mechanistically, FANCC mediates microgl...

KEY FINDING: Overexpression of FANCC suppressed microglial pyroptosis by inhibiting p38/NLRP3 expression, which in turn reduced neuronal apoptosis.

Sodium selenite promotes neurological function recovery after spinal cord injury by inhibiting ferroptosis

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022 • December 1, 2022

This study investigated the potential of sodium selenite (SS) to promote neurological function recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI) by inhibiting ferroptosis in a rat model. The results showed that...

KEY FINDING: Sodium selenite treatment decreased iron concentration and levels of the lipid peroxidation products malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal in a rat model of spinal cord injury.
