摘　　要：Experimental studies have shown that exercise and human adipose-derived stem cells(ADSCs)play positive roles in spinal cord injury(SCI).However,whether ADSCs and/or exercise have a positive effect on SCI-induced neuropathic pain is still unclear.Thus,there is a need to explore the effects of exercise combined with administration of ADSCs on neuropathic pain after SCI.In this study,a thoracic 11(T11)SCI contusion model was established in adult C57BL/6 mice.Exercise was initiated from 7 days post-injury and continued to 28 days post-injury,and approximately 1×105 ADSCs were transplanted into the T11 spinal cord lesion site immediately after SCI.Motor function and neuropathic pain-related behaviors were assessed weekly using the Basso Mouse Scale,von Frey filament test,Hargreaves method,and cold plate test.Histological studies(Eriochrome cyanine staining and immunohistochemistry)were performed at the end of the experiment(28 days post-injury).Exercise combined with administration of ADSCs partially improved early motor function(7,14,and 21 days postinjury),mechanical allodynia,mechanical hypoalgesia,thermal hyperalgesia,and thermal hypoalgesia.Administration of ADSCs reduced white and gray matter loss at the lesion site.In addition,fewer microglia and astrocytes(as identified by expression of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 and glial fibrillary acidic protein,respectively)were present in the lumbar dorsal horn in the SCI+ADSCs and SCI+exercise+ADSCs groups compared with the sham group.Our findings suggest that exercise combined with administration of ADSCs is beneficial for the early recovery of motor function and could partially ameliorate SCIinduced neuropathic pain.
