Spinal edema is a very important pathophysiological basis for secondary spinal cord injury, which affects the repair and prognosis of spinal cord injury. Aquaporin-4 is widely distributed in various organs of the body, and is highly expressed in the brain and spinal cord. Inward rectifying potassium channel 4.1 is a protein found in astrocytes of central nervous system. It interacts with aquaporins in function. Aquaporin-4 and inward rectifying potassium channel 4.1 play an important role in the formation and elimination of spinal cord edema, inhibition of glial scar formation and promotion of excitotoxic agents exclusion. The distribution and function of aquaporin-4 and inward rectifying potassium channel 4.1 in the central nervous system and their expression after spinal cord injury have multiple effects on spinal edema. Studies of aquaporin-4 and inward rectifying potassium channel 4.1 in the spinal cord may provide new ideas for the elimination and treatment of spinal edema.
