摘要:

我们构建了一种新型的聚乳酸-羟基乙酸共聚物多肽自组装纳米纤维人工神经导管,用其桥接修复大鼠10mm坐骨神经缺损。神经逆行示踪、行为学评估及一系列组织形态学测定结果显示,与移植空聚乳酸-羟基乙酸共聚物导管比较,移植的聚乳酸-羟基乙酸共聚物多肽自组装纳米纤维人工神经导管中有更多的轴突生长和穿越,且再生轴突直径、导管中髓鞘厚度、神经肌肉接头尺寸、靶肌肉肌纤维直径明显增加。说明我们设计实验成功的聚乳酸-羟基乙酸共聚物多肽自组装纳米纤维人工神经导管,可促进缺损周围神经轴突再生和再髓鞘化,可用于修复损伤的周围神经。

Abstract:

In this study, we developed a novel artificial nerve graft termed self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold (SAPNS)-containing poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) conduit (SPC) and used it to bridge a 10-mm-long sciatic nerve defect in the rat. Retrograde tracing, behavioral testing and histomorphometric analyses showed that compared with the empty PLGA conduit implantation group, the SPC implantation group had a larger number of growing and extending axons, a markedly increased diameter of regenerated axons and a greater thickness of the myelin sheath in the conduit. Furthermore, there was an increase in the size of the neuromuscular junction and myofiber diameter in the target muscle. These findings suggest that the novel artificial SPC nerve graft can promote axonal regeneration and remyelination in the transected peripheral nerve and can be used for repairing peripheral nerve injury.
