We investigated whether compensatory reinnervation in the corticospinal tract (CST) and the corticorubral tract (CRT) is enhanced by the administration of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) after experimental stroke. Adult male Wistar rats were subjected to permanent right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo). Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, control, n=7) or 3x10(6) BMSCs in PBS (n=8) were injected into a tail vein at 1 day postischemia. The CST of the left sensorimotor cortices was labeled with DiI 2 days prior to MCAo. Functional recovery was measured. Rats were sacrificed at 28 days after MCAo. The brain and spinal cord were removed and processed for vibratome sections for laser-scanning confocal analysis and paraffin sections for immunohistochemistry. Normal rats (n=4) exhibited a predominantly unilateral pattern of innervation of CST and CRT axons. After stroke, bilateral innervation occurred through axonal sprouting of the uninjured CRT and CST. Administration of BMSCs significantly increased the axonal restructuring on the de-afferented red nucleus and the denervated spinal motoneurons (p<0.05). BMSC treatment also significantly increased synaptic proteins in the denervated motoneurons. These results were highly correlated with improved functional outcome after stroke (r>0.81, p<0.01). We conclude that the transplantation of BMSCs enhances axonal sprouting and rewiring into the denervated spinal cord which may facilitate functional recovery after focal cerebral ischemia.
