Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate whether the application of tacrolimus (FK506) could improve functional recovery in spinal cord injury (SCI) rat models by activating astrocytes, and to further investigate the underlying mechanisms of this action. Male Sprague‑Dawley rats (n=56) were used to establish moderate SCI models, which were induced at the T10 spinal segment by dropping a 10‑g weight from a height of 25 mm using a New York University Impactor device. The rats were randomly separated into the FK506 or control group (n=28 per group). Rats were treated with FK506 (0.5 mg/kg) or saline intravenously 30 min after sustaining the injury. Functional recovery was evaluated over 42 days following the injury, and epidermal growth factor (EGF) levels were detected. The astrocytes were treated with FK506 in vitro, and the EGF mRNA and protein expression levels were analyzed using reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and ELISA, respectively. DNA microarray analysis was also performed to evaluate the genes in astrocytes. Rats in the FK506 group had improved locomotor functional recovery compared with those of control group. Furthermore, FK506 upregulated EGF expression of astrocytes both in vivo and in vitro. Subsequent to treatment with FK506‑conditioned medium (CM), the length of neuronal cells increased 61.06% on the first day, and increased 56.4% on the third day compared with those of C‑CM group. Furthermore, addition of anti‑EGF neutralizing antibodies could interrupt the promotion of neurite outgrowth by FK506‑CM. The present study indicates that astrocytes have an important role as mediators of FK506‑improved spinal cord function recovery, and this partially clarifies the role of cell‑cell interaction through modulating EGF in this process.
