Study design: Focus group study Objective: To investigate cell-specific endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress reactions in contusive spinal cord by evaluating the expression of the glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and C/EBP homologous transcription factor protein (CHOP) using immunohistochemical staining. Setting: Data were analysed at Tokai University School of Medicine in Japan. Methods: The authors generated rat spinal cord injury (SCI) models using an IH-Impactor (100 kdyne(LI), 200 kdyne (HI)). Rats were killed at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days post operation (dpo). Spinal cord sections were prepared and the expression ratio of GRP78 and CHOP was evaluated in oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) (NG2+), oligodendrocytes (OLs) (APC+), neurons (NeuN+) and astrocytes (GFAP+) using double immunohistochemical staining. We examined an area 8mm distal from SCI-epicenter. Results: Compared with the sham group, both injured groups had higher GRP78 expression ratio in contused spinal cord at 1 dpo. GRP78 expression ratio was highest in GFAP+ cells of both groups, and lowest in NG2+ cells. Although GRP78 was expressed strongly immediately after SCI in the both groups, increased CHOP expression was observed only in the HI group. The CHOP expression in NG2+ cells was significantly higher than that observed in GFAP+ cells at 5 dpo. Conclusion: Although the ER stress response contributes to cell survival in the low-stress SCI conditions, the ER stress response induces an apoptotic cascade in high-stress SCI conditions. The ER response varies according to cell type, with the highest observed in astrocytes, and the lowest observed in oligodendrocyte precursor cells.
