Objective: To explore the special significances in advantages of using anti-inflammatory drugs, such as amelioration of growing conditions and the promotion of cell growth.
Methods: Utilizing anti-adhesive effects of synthetic E-selectins, we observed the changes of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β) contented in brain tissues and rat serums in rats hind cerebral ischemia-reperfusion models. Both growth and expression of endogenetic/exogenous neurological stem cells were detected after ameliorated local microenvironment.
Results: The contents of TNF-α and IL-1β were decreased in brain tissues and rat serums after applying synthetic E-selectins. Expression of exogenous neurological stem cells was enhanced. Animal neurological functions improved.
Conclusion: Anti-inflammatory therapy in early stage could enhance proliferation of stem cells so that it has vital significations in treating cerebrovascular diseases.
