The goal of the current manuscript was to replicate published data that show intrathecal infusions of Taxol (paclitaxel), an anti-neoplastic microtubule stabilizing agent, reduce fibrogliotic scarring caused by a dorsal spinal hemisection (DHx) injury and increase functional recovery and growth of serotonergic axons after moderate spinal contusion injury. These experiments were completed as part of an NIH-NINDS contract entitled Facilities of Research Excellence in Spinal Cord Injury (FORE-SCI) Replication. Here, data are presented that confirm the anti-scarring effects of Taxol after DHx injury: however, Taxol did not confer neuroprotection or promote serotonergic axon growth nor did it improve functional recovery in a model of moderate spinal contusion injury. Thus, only partial replication was achieved. Possible explanations for disparate results in our studies and published data are discussed. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
