Abstract
In several models of traumatic brain injury in rodents, remarkably progressive tissue loss and neuron death has been observed accompanied by expanding ventricles. Here, we explored potential cell proliferation in the subventricular zone (SVZ) in response to this progressive posttraumatic neurodegeneration. Four-month-old rats (n = 57) were subjected to parasagittal fluid-percussion brain injury or sham treatment (no injury), and their brains were harvested at 2 weeks, 2 months, 6 months, and 1 year (n = 6-8/group) after injury or sham treatment. Brain sections (6 microm) were stained with markers of cell proliferation, Ki-67, and proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) to detect mitotically active cells. In sham animals, we found a typical age-dependent decrease in Ki-67- and PCNA-labelled cells in the SVZ over the course of 1 year. However, in brain-injured animals, this decrease was reversed culminating in a sixfold increase in the number of cells staining with Ki-67 and a threefold increase in cells staining with PCNA by 1 year following injury compared to age-matched controls. Using double labeling, we also determined that many of the cells staining with Ki-67 or PCNA expressed markers selective for neurons (neurofilament protein) and glia (GFAP). These data suggest that there is a persistent proliferation of neurons and glia in the SVZ following brain trauma that does not diminish during aging as found in non-injured animals.
