Administration of TSG-6 improves memory after traumatic brain injury in mice.
Model: Controlled cortical impact via 4 mm craniectomy over right temporo-parietal cortex; single impact of 0.8 mm deformation depth, 4.5 m/s velocity, 250 ms dwell, 3 mm impactor tip; sham was craniectomy without impact
Intravenous TSG-6 during the early inflammatory phase reduced neutrophil infiltration and MMP9 activity at 24 h, reduced blood brain barrier leakage at day 3 and cut hemisphere lesion volume by about 40 per cent. It also improved spatial learning, working memory, depressive-like behaviour and newbo…
