Role of Dectin-1 in peripheral nerve injury.

ABSTRACT: Dectin-1, a C-type lectin receptor, plays a role in nerve injury in the central nervous system. However, whether it plays a role in the peripheral nervous system is not well understood. Our study showed the expression of Dectin-1 on the membrane of macrophages. We also used a sciatic nerve crushing injury model to demonstrate that there was a delay in nerve degeneration-related processes such as breakdown of injured myelinated nerve fibers and formation of myelin ovoid in groups injected with whole glucan particle soluble (WGPS), a Dectin-1 antagonist. There were also fewer intraneural blood vessels in the Dectin-1 antagonist treated group. Our study suggested inhibiting Dectin-1 delayed debris clearance, nerve degeneration, and angiogenesis after peripheral nerve injury.

Role of macrophages in peripheral nerve injury and repair.

Project description:Resident and inflammatory macrophages are essential effectors of the innate immune system. These cells provide innate immune defenses and regulate tissue and organ homeostasis. In addition to their roles in diseases such as cancer, obesity and osteoarthritis, they play vital roles in tissue repair and disease rehabilitation. Macrophages and other inflammatory cells are recruited to tissue injury sites where they promote changes in the microenvironment. Among the inflammatory cell types, only macrophages have both pro-inflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) actions, and M2 macrophages have four subtypes. The co-action of M1 and M2 subtypes can create a favorable microenvironment, releasing cytokines for damaged tissue repair. In this review, we discuss the activation of macrophages and their roles in severe peripheral nerve injury. We also describe the therapeutic potential of macrophages in nerve tissue engineering treatment and highlight approaches for enhancing M2 cell-mediated nerve repair and regeneration.

Role of microtubule dynamics in Wallerian degeneration and nerve regeneration after peripheral nerve injury.

Project description:Wallerian degeneration, the progressive disintegration of distal axons and myelin that occurs after peripheral nerve injury, is essential for creating a permissive microenvironment for nerve regeneration, and involves cytoskeletal reconstruction. However, it is unclear whether microtubule dynamics play a role in this process. To address this, we treated cultured sciatic nerve explants, an in vitro model of Wallerian degeneration, with the microtubule-targeting agents paclitaxel and nocodazole. We found that paclitaxel-induced microtubule stabilization promoted axon and myelin degeneration and Schwann cell dedifferentiation, whereas nocodazole-induced microtubule destabilization inhibited these processes. Evaluation of an in vivo model of peripheral nerve injury showed that treatment with paclitaxel or nocodazole accelerated or attenuated axonal regeneration, as well as functional recovery of nerve conduction and target muscle and motor behavior, respectively. These results suggest that microtubule dynamics participate in peripheral nerve regeneration after injury by affecting Wallerian degeneration. This study was approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of Southern Medical University, China (approval No. SMU-L2015081) on October 15, 2015.

Peripheral Nerve Injury: Stem Cell Therapy and Peripheral Nerve Transfer.

Project description:Peripheral nerve injury can lead to great morbidity in those afflicted, ranging from sensory loss, motor loss, chronic pain, or a combination of deficits. Over time, research has investigated neuronal molecular mechanisms implicated in nerve damage, classified nerve injury, and developed surgical techniques for treatment. Despite these advancements, full functional recovery remains less than ideal. In this review, we discuss historical aspects of peripheral nerve injury and introduce nerve transfer as a therapeutic option, as well as an adjunct therapy to transplantation of Schwann cells and their stem cell derivatives for repair of the damaged nerve. This review furthermore, will provide an elaborated discussion on the sources of Schwann cells, including sites to harvest their progenitor and stem cell lines. This reflects the accessibility to an additional, concurrent treatment approach with nerve transfers that, predicated on related research, may increase the efficacy of the current approach. We then discuss the experimental and clinical investigations of both Schwann cells and nerve transfer that are underway. Lastly, we provide the necessary consideration that these two lines of therapeutic approaches should not be exclusive, but conversely, should be pursued as a combined modality given their mutual role in peripheral nerve regeneration.

In vivo nerve-macrophage interactions following peripheral nerve injury.

Project description:In vertebrates, the peripheral nervous system has retained its regenerative capacity, enabling severed axons to reconnect with their original synaptic targets. While it is well documented that a favorable environment is critical for nerve regeneration, the complex cellular interactions between injured nerves with cells in their environment, as well as the functional significance of these interactions, have not been determined in vivo and in real time. Here we provide the first minute-by-minute account of cellular interactions between laser transected motor nerves and macrophages in live intact zebrafish. We show that macrophages arrive at the lesion site long before axon fragmentation, much earlier than previously thought. Moreover, we find that axon fragmentation triggers macrophage invasion into the nerve to engulf axonal debris, and that delaying nerve fragmentation in a Wld(s) model does not alter macrophage recruitment but induces a previously unknown 'nerve scanning' behavior, suggesting that macrophage recruitment and subsequent nerve invasion are controlled by separate mechanisms. Finally, we demonstrate that macrophage recruitment, thought to be dependent on Schwann cell-derived signals, occurs independently of Schwann cells. Thus, live cell imaging defines novel cellular and functional interactions between injured nerves and immune cells.

Endocytosis-associated patterns in nerve regeneration after peripheral nerve injury.

Project description:BackgroundClearance of myelin debris and remyelination of myelin are necessary steps for peripheral nerve remodeling and regeneration. It has yet to be clarified which genes or proteins are involved in endocytosis or exocytosis in the removal of myelin debris during peripheral nerve repair.MethodsFor this project, a rat model of subacute stage of sciatic nerve injury was established first. Subsequently, normal Schwann cells (NSCs) and activated Schwann cells (ASCs) were harvest before and after peripheral nerve injury (PNI). Following methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeDIP-seq) and tandem mass tags (TMT) labeling analysis of NSCs and ASCs, what common biomarkers changes in peripheral nervous systems remain to be elucidated.ResultsA total of 14,770 different expression genes (DEGs) and 3249 different expression proteins (DEPs) were screened between ASCs and NSCs. For the exosomes, the diameter and particles concentration of exosomes were 141.7 nm and 2.97 × 107 particles/mL, respectively. The size distribution of exosomes was 50-200 nm. ASCs showed higher cellular uptake ability than the NSCs by cellular uptake test. Moreover, RAB7A, ARF6, ARF1, VPS45, RAB11A, DNM3, and NEDD4 were the core markers and may control the molecular mechanism of the Endocytosis pathway.ConclusionThese biomarkers may play significant roles in the initiation phase of demyelination and axon regeneration.The translational potential of this articleThis study explores that the endocytosis-associated patterns of Schwann cells may be new therapeutic strategy for nerve tissue engineering and nerve regeneration.

Electrical stimulation therapy for peripheral nerve injury.

Project description:Peripheral nerve injury is common and frequently occurs in extremity trauma patients. The motor and sensory impairment caused by the injury will affect patients' daily life and social work. Surgical therapeutic approaches don't assure functional recovery, which may lead to neuronal atrophy and hinder accelerated regeneration. Rehabilitation is a necessary stage for patients to recover better. A meaningful role in non-pharmacological intervention is played by rehabilitation, through individualized electrical stimulation therapy. Clinical studies have shown that electrical stimulation enhances axon growth during nerve repair and accelerates sensorimotor recovery. According to different effects and parameters, electrical stimulation can be divided into neuromuscular, transcutaneous, and functional electrical stimulation. The therapeutic mechanism of electrical stimulation may be to reduce muscle atrophy and promote muscle reinnervation by increasing the expression of structural protective proteins and neurotrophic factors. Meanwhile, it can modulate sensory feedback and reduce neuralgia by inhibiting the descending pathway. However, there are not many summary clinical application parameters of electrical stimulation, and the long-term effectiveness and safety also need to be further explored. This article aims to explore application methodologies for effective electrical stimulation in the rehabilitation of peripheral nerve injury, with simultaneous consideration for fundamental principles of electrical stimulation and the latest technology. The highlight of this paper is to identify the most appropriate stimulation parameters (frequency, intensity, duration) to achieve efficacious electrical stimulation in the rehabilitation of peripheral nerve injury.

Platelet-rich plasma promotes peripheral nerve regeneration after sciatic nerve injury.

Project description:The effect of platelet-rich plasma on nerve regeneration remains controversial. In this study, we established a rabbit model of sciatic nerve small-gap defects with preserved epineurium and then filled the gaps with platelet-rich plasma. Twenty-eight rabbits were divided into the following groups (7 rabbits/group): model, low-concentration PRP (2.5-3.5-fold concentration of whole blood platelets), medium-concentration PRP (4.5-6.5-fold concentration of whole blood platelets), and high-concentration PRP (7.5-8.5-fold concentration of whole blood platelets). Electrophysiological and histomorphometrical assessments and proteomics analysis were used to evaluate regeneration of the sciatic nerve. Our results showed that platelet-rich plasma containing 4.5-6.5- and 7.5-8.5-fold concentrations of whole blood platelets promoted repair of sciatic nerve injury. Proteomics analysis was performed to investigate the possible mechanism by which platelet-rich plasma promoted nerve regeneration. Proteomics analysis showed that after sciatic nerve injury, platelet-rich plasma increased the expression of integrin subunit β-8 (ITGB8), which participates in angiogenesis, and differentially expressed proteins were mainly enriched in focal adhesion pathways. Additionally, two key proteins, ribosomal protein S27a (RSP27a) and ubiquilin 1 (UBQLN1), which were selected after protein-protein interaction analysis, are involved in the regulation of ubiquitin levels in vivo. These data suggest that platelet-rich plasma promotes peripheral nerve regeneration after sciatic nerve injury by affecting angiogenesis and intracellular ubiquitin levels.

A decellularized nerve matrix scaffold inhibits neuroma formation in the stumps of transected peripheral nerve after peripheral nerve injury.

Project description:Traumatic painful neuroma is an intractable clinical disease characterized by improper extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition around the injury site. Studies have shown that the microstructure of natural nerves provides a suitable microenvironment for the nerve end to avoid abnormal hyperplasia and neuroma formation. In this study, we used a decellularized nerve matrix scaffold (DNM-S) to prevent against the formation of painful neuroma after sciatic nerve transection in rats. Our results showed that the DNM-S effectively reduced abnormal deposition of ECM, guided the regeneration and orderly arrangement of axon, and decreased the density of regenerated axons. The epineurium-perilemma barrier prevented the invasion of vascular muscular scar tissue, greatly reduced the invasion of α-smooth muscle actin-positive myofibroblasts into nerve stumps, effectively inhibited scar formation, which guided nerve stumps to gradually transform into a benign tissue and reduced pain and autotomy behaviors in animals. These findings suggest that DNM-S-optimized neuroma microenvironment by ECM remodeling may be a promising strategy to prevent painful traumatic neuromas.

Role of SIP30 in the development and maintenance of peripheral nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain.

Project description:Using the chronic constriction injury (CCI) model of neuropathic pain, we profiled gene expression in the rat spinal cord, and identified SIP30 as a gene whose expression was elevated after CCI. SIP30 was previously shown to interact with SNAP25, but whose function was otherwise unknown. We now show that in the spinal cord, SIP30 was present in the dorsal horn laminae where the peripheral nociceptive inputs first synapse, co-localizing with nociception-related neuropeptides CGRP and substance P. With the onset of neuropathic pain after CCI surgery, SIP30 mRNA and protein levels increased in the ipsilateral side of the spinal cord, suggesting a potential association between SIP30 and neuropathic pain. When CCI-upregulated SIP30 was inhibited by intrathecal antisense oligonucleotide administration, neuropathic pain was attenuated. This neuropathic pain-reducing effect was observed both during neuropathic pain onset following CCI, and after neuropathic pain was fully established, implicating SIP30 involvement in the development and maintenance phases of neuropathic pain. Using a secretion assay in PC12 cells, anti-SIP30 siRNA decreased the total pool of synaptic vesicles available for exocytosis, pointing to a potential function for SIP30. These results suggest a role of SIP30 in the development and maintenance of peripheral nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain.

Sex-specific adipose tissue's dynamic role in metabolic and inflammatory response following peripheral nerve injury.

Project description:Epidemiological data and research highlight increased neuropathy and chronic pain prevalence among females, spanning metabolic and normometabolic contexts, including murine models. Prior findings demonstrated diverse immune and neuroimmune responses between genders in neuropathic pain (NeP), alongside distinct protein expression in sciatic nerves. This study unveils adipose tissue's (AT) role in sex-specific NeP responses after peripheral nerve injury. Metabolic assessments, metabolomics, energy expenditure evaluations, AT proteomic analyses, and adipokine mobilization depict distinct AT reactions to nerve damage. Females exhibit altered lipolysis, fatty acid oxidation, heightened energy expenditure, and augmented steroids secretion affecting glucose and insulin metabolism. Conversely, male neuropathy prompts glycolysis, reduced energy expenditure, and lowered unsaturated fatty acid levels. Males' AT promotes regenerative molecules, oxidative stress defense, and stimulates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR-γ) and adiponectin. This study underscores AT's pivotal role in regulating gender-specific inflammatory and metabolic responses to nerve injuries, shedding light on female NeP susceptibility determinants.
