The aim of this work was to evaluate the regeneration of equine ulnar nerves submitted to neurotomy, silicone tubing and cell therapy with bone marrow mononuclear cells fraction (MCF) or adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC). Fifteen adult horses were divided into three groups with five animals each: control group (CG) with the use of saline solution, group with FCM deposition and group with ADSC deposition. The same surgical procedure was performed in all groups, using both nerves of each animal (right and left), establishing two moments of biopsy: on the 13th week on the right limb (CG1, MCF1 and ADSC1) and on the 26th week on the left limb (CG2, MCF2 and ADSC2). The MCF and ADSC were obtained respectively, from bone marrow and adipose tissue from each animal, both used as an authologous implant. After 13 and 26 weeks, biopsies were performed in all groups and immediately it was made some fragments slide imprints for viewing the nanocrystal fluorescent label. The fragments were fixed in 10% buffered formalin for histological analysis, with HE, luxol fast blue, Masson's trichrome, immunohistochemistry against the antibodies neurofilament (NF), S-100, FGF-2 and GDNF. Microscopically it was observed the presence of axonal growth, connective tissue, inflammatory infiltrate, Schwann cells, neural growth factors, myelin sheath and wallerian degeneration. For histologic analysis, it was established qualitative scores and for immunohistochemistry it was performed quantitative analysis with Image J program. It was observed wallerian degeneration reduction, better fascicular reorganization, new collagen increased, myelin sheath early formation, and NF antibody stronger staining in the experimental groups compared to CG. The ADSC group presented the best results than the other groups, showing ADSCs efficiency compared to MCF and CG for peripheral nerve regeneration. However, it was proved a longer time necessity to occur complete regeneration of peripheral nerve after injury.
