The mechanism of spinal cord injury has been thought to be related to the vulnerability of spinal motor neuron cells against ischemia. However, the mechanisms of such vulnerability are not fully understood. We hypothesized that spinal motor neurons might be lost by programmed cell death and investigated a possible mechanism of neuronal death by detection of double-strand breaks in genomic DNA and immunohistochemical analysis for cyclin D1 and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk) 4.
