Abstract
This study was planned to continue our previous study to assess effect of combination therapy bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) with exercise (EX) and triiodothyronine (T3) on stroke-induced astrogliosis in mice. Stroke subjected-mice were divided into five monotherapy groups including sham, control, BMSCs, EX and T3; and three combination therapy groups including BMSCs + EX, BMSCs + T3 and BMSCs + EX + T3. Astrogliosis was assessed in ipsilateral hemisphere at day 7 after MCAO. Combination therapy BMSCs with EX and T3 could significantly decrease stroke-induced astrogliosis. However, monotherapy with BMSCs or EX also improved changes of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive cells following stroke. Combination therapy BMSCs with EX and T3 didn't have any added effect on astrogliosis compared to monotherapy with BMSCs or EX. With comparing the present findings with the results of neurobehavioral functioning in our earlier study, it seems that decrease of astrogliosis could be helpful for stroke recovery.

The Stem Cell Investigation (SCI; Stem Cell Investig; Online ISSN: 2313-0792) is a free access, peer-reviewed online journal covering basic, translational, and clinical research on all aspects of stem cells. It publishes original research articles and reviews on embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, adult tissue-specific stem/progenitor cells, cancer stem like cells, stem cell niche, stem cell technology, stem cell based drug discovery, and regenerative medicine. Stem Cell Investigation is indexed in PubMed/PMC since April, 2016.
