摘要:

周围神经中的许旺细胞可对创伤性损伤迅速做出反应,参与神经的再生,但是在这一过程中有哪些因子起作用尚不确定。因此实验首先挖掘GEO数据库,发现坐骨神经损伤后,血小板因子4表达显著上调;且血小板因子4是一种能参与细胞凋亡,细胞分化、存活和增殖过程的重要因子。进一步以PCR和免疫组化染色验证了损伤后不同时间点坐骨神经中血小板因子4的变化,并以ELISA检测证实血小板因子4主要由许旺细胞分泌。然后对原代培养的许旺细胞进行干预,发现沉默血小板因子4可抑制其增殖和迁移,而外源性血小板因子4则可刺激其增殖和迁移以及神经元轴突的生长。最后发现敲除血小板因子4可在大鼠模型中抑制损伤坐骨神经中许旺细胞的增殖。上述发现表明,许旺细胞分泌的血小板因子4可能通过调节自身的活化以及促进轴突生长来修复周围神经损伤,该因子可能成为创伤性周围神经损伤的潜在治疗靶点。

Abstract: Schwann cells in peripheral nerves react to traumatic nerve injury by attempting to grow and regenerate. However, it is unclear what factors play a role in this process. In this study, we searched a GEO database and found that expression of platelet factor 4 was markedly up-regulated after sciatic nerve injury. Platelet factor is an important molecule in cell apoptosis, differentiation, survival, and proliferation. Further, polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining confirmed the change in platelet factor 4 in the sciatic nerve at different time points after injury. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay confirmed that platelet factor 4 was secreted by Schwann cells. We also found that silencing platelet factor 4 decreased the proliferation and migration of primary cultured Schwann cells, while exogenously applied platelet factor 4 stimulated Schwann cell proliferation and migration and neuronal axon growth. Furthermore, knocking out platelet factor 4 inhibited the proliferation of Schwann cells in injured rat sciatic nerve. These findings suggest that Schwann cell-secreted platelet factor 4 may facilitate peripheral nerve repair and regeneration by regulating Schwann cell activation and axon growth. Thus, platelet factor 4 may be a potential therapeutic target for traumatic peripheral nerve injury.
