摘要:

目前分离许旺细胞容易受到成纤维细胞的污染,且成本高效率低。实验收集新生小鼠的脊髓背根神经节,酶消化分散后以无血清的黑素细胞培养基纯化许旺细胞,其获得的许旺细胞纯度可达95%以上,远高于含胎牛血清的DMEM培养基提取的许旺细胞。这些许旺细胞复合聚乳酸-羟基乙酸共聚物/壳聚糖导管修复大鼠坐骨神经10mm缺损,发现大鼠坐骨神经组织轴突直径及轴突面积显著增加,运动功能明显改善,表明无血清的黑素细胞培养基更容易纯化许旺细胞,且许旺细胞复合聚乳酸-羟基乙酸共聚物/壳聚糖神经导管可有效用于修复坐骨神经缺损。

Abstract:

Schwann cells, nerve regeneration promoters in peripheral nerve tissue engineering, can be used to repair both the peripheral and central nervous systems. However, isolation and purification of Schwann cells are complicated by contamination with fibroblasts. Current reported measures are mainly limited by either high cost or complicated procedures with low cell yields or purity. In this study, we collected dorsal root ganglia from neonatal rats from which we obtained highly purified Schwann cells using serum-free melanocyte culture medium. The purity of Schwann cells (> 95%) using our method was higher than that using standard medium containing fetal bovine serum. The obtained Schwann cells were implanted into poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)/chitosan conduits to repair 10-mm sciatic nerve defects in rats. Results showed that axonal diameter and area were significantly increased and motor functions were obviously improved in the rat sciatic nerve tissue. Experimental findings suggest that serum-free melanocyte culture medium is conducive to purify Schwann cells and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)/chitosan nerve conduits combined with Schwann cells contribute to restore sciatic nerve defects.
