Ischemic stroke is an extremely important pathology with high mortality, in which more than 50 % of patients with occlusion of the main vessels remain disabled, despite early reperfusion therapy by thrombolysis or thrombectomy. As part of the regenerative strategy, stem cell transplantation in ischemic stroke became a new impetus. Cell therapy with the use of mesenchymal stromal cells demonstrated encouraging results regarding endogenous mechanisms of neuroregeneration in response to ischemic damage to brain structures. The aim of the research is to study the influence of mesenchymal stromal cells of various genesis, lysate of mesenchymal stromal cell sobtained from Wharton's jelly umbilical cord and citicoline on the dynamics of morphological changes in the hippocampal CA1 region of rats with acute cerebral ischemia-reperfusion according to light microscopy and micromorphometry data. The experiment was carried out using 200 male Wistar rats, which were subjected to ischemia-reperfusion by reversible 20-minute bilateral occlusion of the internal carotid arteries. Animals with modeled pathology were intravenously transplanted with mesenchymal stromal cells of various genesis (from Wharton's jelly of the human umbilical cord, human and rat adipose tissue), and rat embryonic fibroblasts, lysate of mesenchymal stromal cells and citicoline were injected. Histological analysis of rat brain sections was performed on the 7th and 14th day of the experiment. Statistical analysis was performed using "Statistica 6.0" (StatSoft® Snc, USA). The significance of differences was assessed using the Student's t-test and the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test. During the study, it was found that modeled ischemia-reperfusion in rats caused almost complete degeneration of the structure of the pyramidal layer of hippocampal CA1 region, gave uniformity to the structure of the radiant layer, infiltration of microglia, contributed to the disruption of the arrangement of apical dendrite bundles and narrowing of blood vessels as a result of perivascular edema. Also, the modeled pathology reduced the total number of neuronal nuclei in the hippocampal CA1 area, the overwhelming majority of which had signs of pathological changes. Transplantation of mesenchymal stromal cells of various origins, lysate of mesenchymal stromal cell sand citicoline contributed to a significant increase in the number of neuronal nuclei in the hippocampal CA1 zone and nuclei that did not undergo pathological changes. The most positive effect was found in the transplantation of mesenchymal stromal cells from human Wharton's jelly-derived cells. Thus, both in the subacute and recovery periods of ischemic stroke in rats, the transplantation of human Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stromal cells was significantly surpassed the reference drug citicoline in its ability to reduce the number of pathologically changed nuclei by 1.5 times (p<0.05).At the same time, the number of pathologically unchanged nuclei significantly exceeded the number of nuclei with signs of karyorrhexis and karyopyknosis, so it would bead visable to use mesenchymal stromal cells of various genesis, lysate or citicoline in conditions of acute cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, taking into account their ability to reduce the volume of the infarct. In the future, an injectable drug will be created from the most effective culture of mesenchymal stromal cells in terms of cerebroprotective properties for cell therapy of patients with acute ischemic stroke.
