Background: Diabetes mellitus is the disease, termed either by insulin paucity or resistance and hyperglycemia. The selection of the cerebellum was built on its specific functions.The aim of this study was to investigate a comparison between the possible therapeutic effects of MSCs and curcumin against fluctuations in the cerebellar cortex of STZ-induced diabetic albino rats. Materials and methods: Forty rats were divided into five groups: control, sham control, streptozotocin-induced diabetes, diabetes and MSCs administered and diabetes and curcumin administered. Light microscopic (H&E), immune-histochemical; Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and caspase-3, real-time PCR; phospholipase-C (PLC) and Ü-synuclein, histomorphometric analysis, oxidative / anti-oxidatants; malondialdehyde (MDA)/ superoxide dismutase (SOD) glutathione (GSH) and were made. Results: The histopathological examination of the STZ-induced diabetic rats revealed alterations in the molecular, purkinje and granular layers. Abnormal organizations, vacuolation, patchy loss of purkinje cells were detected. Some purkinje cells migrated into the granular layer.Hemorrhage in pia mater outspreading to cerebellar layers is discerned. Purkinje cells showed karyorrhexis.The mean value of area percentage for GFAP and caspase-3 immune- reactivity revealed significant increase compared to that of the control group. Also, MDA level was significantly increased while the SOD and GSH levels were significantly lower when compared to the control group. Meanwhile, mean values of PLC demonstrated significant decrease, while Ü-synuclein levels displayed a significant increment in the diabetic group. Administration of curcumin and MSCs extremely ameliorated the previous alterations.Conclusion: the deleterious alterations on the cerebellar cortex induced by diabetes were obviously improved when treated with either MSCs or curcum
