Abstract

Objective: To establish a preclinical drug administration method that can simulate a novel route of stem cell administration by intranasal administration in rats, so as to lay a foundation for the preclinical safety evaluation of stem cells. Methods: Thirty-two Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into two groups- solvent control group and administration group, and sixteen animals were included in each group with half females and half males. Saline was administered to the solvent control group and human neural stem cells (NSCs) were administered to the administration group at a dose of 1×107 cells·kg-1. All animals were administrated intranasally once. 24 hours and 6 days after administration, the rats were anesthetized and their hearts were exposed. Blood was collected from the heart, the heart was perfused and fixed, the brain (striatum, substantia nigra, cortex, hippocampus, cerebellum), blood, heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, testis and epididymis (male) and ovary (female) were taken, and organs and tissues were fi xed. After taking materials, immunofluorescence experiments were carried out to study the biodistribution of NSCs in the above tissues and organs. Results: 24 hours and 6 days after intranasal administration of NSCs, the distribution of NSCs was observed in striatum, substantia nigra, cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum. No positive cells were found in peripheral tissues, including heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, testicle, epididymis (male), ovary (female) and peripheral blood. Conclusion: Our preclinical studies have shown that NSCs can be absorbed into the brain by nasal administration to treat brain diseases.
