Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces severe and long-lasting neurological disability. Accumulating evidence has suggested that histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors exert neuroprotective effects against various insults and deficits in the central nervous system. In the present study, we assessed the effect of the class I HDAC inhibitor CI-994 in a mouse model of SCI. Following SCI, mice were treated with either dimethyl sulfoxide (control vehicle) or 1, 10, or 30 mg/kg CI-994. Level of acetylated histone H3 expression was increased in the motor cortex and spinal cord of 10 mg/kg CCI-994-treated mice after SCI. CI-994 increased histone H3 acetylation in the myeloperoxidase-positive neutrophils and CD68-positive microglia/macrophages in the spinal cord. Although it did not appear to contribute to corticospinal tract axonal reorganization, intraperitoneal injection of CI-994 promoted behavioral recovery following SCI. Furthermore, administration of CI-994 suppressed neutrophil accumulation, inflammatory cytokine expressions, and neuronal loss as early as 3 days following injury. Thus, our findings indicate that HDAC inhibitors may improve functional recovery following SCI, especially during the early stages of the disease.
