Abstract
Nuclear factor kappaB (NFêB) is a key transcriptional regulator of inflammatory genes. We investigated the
modulatory effects of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs),microglia and meningeal fibroblasts on translocation
of NFêB to astrocyte nuclei. The percentage of activated astrocytes in co-cultures with OECs was significantly
less than for co-cultures withmicroglia (pb0.001) and fibroblasts (pb0.05). Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)
and calcium ionophore stimulation of p65 NFêB translocation to nuclei provided an in vitro model of astrocyte
inflammatory activation. Soluble factors released by OECs significantly moderated the astrocytic NFêB
translocation induced by either PMA/calcium ionophore or microglia-derived factors (pb0.001). Insulin-like
growth factor-1 may contribute to these effects, since it is expressed by OECs and also significantly moderated
the astrocytic NFêB translocation (pb0.05), albeit insufficiently to fully account for the OEC-induced
moderation (pb0.01). Olfactory ensheathing cells significantly moderated the increased transcription of the
pro-inflammatory cytokine, granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor in the activated astrocytes
(pb0.01). These results suggest that transplanted OECs could improve neural repair after CNS injury by
moderating astrocyte activation.
