Adult male rats received transplants of dissociated 30-day old cultured cortical astrocytes into the ipsilateral frontal and parietal cortex immediately after unilateral ibotenic acid lesion of the NBM or after sham injury. We hypothesized that transplants of astrocytes into the acetylcholine-deprived cortex might provide trophic support to terminals arising from damaged NBM neurons. Twenty four hours after transplantation and every other day for 11 days post surgery, the animals were tested for locomotion and habituation in an open field. NBM lesion reduced vertical movements only as compared to no lesion and no transplant counterparts. Nine days after surgery rats with NBM lesion and astrocyte-transplants into the cortex were as impaired in the acquisition of a passive avoidance (PA) task as untreated counterparts. Animals with no lesions and transplants into the cortex also had significant PA acquisition deficits. All rats with ibotenic lesion were significantly impaired on PA retention as compared to rats with no lesions. Astrocyte-transplants survived up to 2 months after cortical implantation but these transplants produced severe laminar disruption and gliosis. This effect was greater in rats with NBM lesion than in intact animals with transplants into the cortex. These data show that astrocyte-transplants do not promote functional recovery after NBM lesion and suggest an immune rejection of the astrocyte transplants by the host brain.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001253 Astrocytes A class of large neuroglial (macroglial) cells in the central nervous system - the largest and most numerous neuroglial cells in the brain and spinal cord. Astrocytes (from "star" cells) are irregularly shaped with many long processes, including those with "end feet" which form the glial (limiting) membrane and directly and indirectly contribute to the BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER. They regulate the extracellular ionic and chemical environment, and "reactive astrocytes" (along with MICROGLIA) respond to injury.
