This study evaluated whether bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) combined with xenogeneic acellular nerve grafts (xANGs) would reduce the inflammation reaction of xANGs transplantation. BM-MSCs were extracted, separated, purified, and cultured from the bone marrow of rats. Then BM-MSCs were seeded into 5 mm xANGs as experimental group, while xANGs group was chosen as control. Subcutaneous implantation and nerve grafts transplantation were done in this study. Walking-track tests, electrophysiological tests, H&E staining, and immunostaining of CD4, CD8, and CD68 of subcutaneous implantations, cytokine concentrations of IL-2, IL-10, IFN-γ and TNF-α in lymphocytes supernatants and serum of the two groups were evaluated. Walking-track tests and electrophysiological tests suggested the group of BM-MSCs with xANGs obtained better results than xANGs group (P < 0.05). H&E staining and immunostaining of CD4, CD8, and CD68 of subcutaneous implantations showed there were less inflammatory cells in the group of BM-MSCs when compared with the xANGs group. The cytokine concentrations of IL-2, IFN-γ, and TNF-α in BM-MSCs group were lower than xANGs group in lymphocytes supernatants and serum (P < 0.05). However, IL-10 concentrations in BM-MSCs group were higher than xANGs group (P < 0.05). xANG with BM-MSCs showed better nerve repair function when compared with xANG group. Furthermore, xANG with BM-MSCs showed less inflammatory reaction which might indicate the reason of its better nerve regeneration.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008214	Lymphocytes	White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS.	Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D009417	Nerve Tissue	Differentiated tissue of the central nervous system composed of NERVE CELLS, fibers, DENDRITES, and specialized supporting cells.	Nervous Tissue,Nerve Tissues,Nervous Tissues,Tissue, Nerve,Tissue, Nervous,Tissues, Nerve,Tissues, Nervous

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.

D015214	Antigens, Differentiation, Myelomonocytic	Surface antigens expressed on myeloid cells of the granulocyte-monocyte-histiocyte series during differentiation. Analysis of their reactivity in normal and malignant myelomonocytic cells is useful in identifying and classifying human leukemias and lymphomas.

D015703	Antigens, CD	Differentiation antigens residing on mammalian leukocytes. CD stands for cluster of differentiation, which refers to groups of monoclonal antibodies that show similar reactivity with certain subpopulations of antigens of a particular lineage or differentiation stage. The subpopulations of antigens are also known by the same CD designation.

D015704	CD4 Antigens	55-kDa antigens found on HELPER-INDUCER T-LYMPHOCYTES and on a variety of other immune cell types. They are members of the immunoglobulin supergene family and are implicated as associative recognition elements in MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX class II-restricted immune responses. On T-lymphocytes they define the helper/inducer subset. T4 antigens also serve as INTERLEUKIN-15 receptors and bind to the HIV receptors, binding directly to the HIV ENVELOPE PROTEIN GP120.
