ABSTRACT: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating clinical condition resulting in significant disabilities for affected individuals. Apart from local injury within the spinal cord, SCI patients develop a myriad of complications characterized by multi-organ dysfunction. Disorders, such as lung injury, cardiovascular disease, liver damage, kidney and urinary tract dysfunction, alterations in gut microbiome, neuropathic pain, depression and altered immune responses are common in SCI patients. Such whole body, systemic responses hinder the functional recovery and can be life-threatening in SCI population. Investigations of organ specific gene expression analyses can provide a better understanding of the injury response and identify molecular targets. Consequently, this can be used to develop treatment for SCI, promoting functional recovery and overall quality of life.
