摘要:

 课题组前期研究发现,抑制Nischarin蛋白能促进neuro-2a神经细胞和原代皮质神经元突起生长和再生。我们假设携带针对Nischarin的小干扰RNA(Nis-siRNA)可促进脊髓损伤后运动功能的恢复。实验假设将脊髓半横断损伤模型大鼠的脊髓损伤区一次性直接微量注射5 μL的PEI-ALG/Nis-siRNA,从注射后7天起,PEI-ALG/Nis-siRNA干预的模型大鼠BBB评分显著升高;注射后21 d,苏木精伊红染色显示,脊髓组织的坏死区面积明显减少;免疫组织化学染色及Western blot检测显示,大鼠脊髓组织Nischarin蛋白表达被成功抑制,生长相关蛋白43蛋白表达增加。结果证实,聚乙烯亚胺-藻酸盐纳米颗粒携带的Nischarin-siRNA能有效抑制损伤脊髓组织Nischarin蛋白的表达,诱导生长相关蛋白43表达,促进脊髓损伤后运动功能的恢复。

Abstract:

A previous study by our group found that inhibition of nischarin promotes neurite outgrowth and neuronal regeneration in Neuro-2a cells and primary cortical neurons. In recent years, more and more studies have shown that nanomaterials have good prospects in treatment of spinal cord injury. We proposed that small interfering RNA targeting nischarin (Nis-siRNA) delivered by polyethyleneimine-alginate (PEIALG) nanoparticles promoted motor function recovery in rats with spinal cord injury. Direct microinjection of 5 μL PEI-ALG/Nis-siRNA into the spinal cord lesion area of spinal cord injury rats was performed. From day 7 after surgery, Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan score was significantly higher in rats from the PEI-ALG/Nis-siRNA group compared with the spinal cord injury group and PEI-ALG/Control-siRNA group. On day 21 after injection, hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that the necrotic area was reduced in the PEI-ALG/Nis-siRNA group. Immunohistochemistry and western blot assay results confirmed successful inhibition of nischarin expression and increased protein expression of growth-associated protein-43 in the PEI-ALG/Nis-siRNA group. These findings suggest that a complex of PEI-ALG nanoparticles and Nis-siRNA effectively suppresses nischarin expression, induces expression of growth-associated protein-43, and accelerates motor function recovery after spinal cord injury.
