Laser-Structured Si and PLGA Inhibit the Neuro2a Differentiation in Mono- and Co-Culture with Glia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The first step towards a successful neural tissue engineering therapy is the development of an appropriate scaffold and the in vitro study of the cellular response onto it.

Methods

Here, we fabricated nano- and micro- patterned Si surfaces via direct ultrafast laser irradiation, as well as their replicas in the biodegradable poly(lactide-co-glycolide), in order to use them as culture substrates for neuronal cells. The differentiation of neuro2a cells on the Si platforms and their replicas was studied both in a mono-culture and in a co-culture with glial cells (Schwann-SW10).

Results

It was found that the substrate's roughness inhibits the differentiation of the neuronal cells even in the presence of the differentiation medium, and the higher the roughness is, the more the differentiation gets limited.

Conclusion

Our results highlight the importance of the substrate's topography for the controlled growth and differentiation of the neuronal cells and their further study via protein screening methods could shed light on the factors that lead to limited differentiation; thus, contributing to the long standing request for culture substrates that induce cells to differentiate.

Project description:Formation of myelin sheaths by oligodendrocytes (OLs) in the central nervous system (CNS) is essential for rapid nerve impulse conduction. Reciprocal signaling between axons and OLs orchestrates myelinogenesis but remains largely elusive. In this study, we present a multi-compartment CNS neuron-glia microfluidic co-culture platform. The platform is capable of conducting parallel localized drug and biomolecule treatments while carrying out multiple co-culture conditions in a single device for studying axon-glia interactions at a higher throughput. The "micro-macro hybrid soft-lithography master fabrication" (MMHSM) technique enables a large number of precisely replicated PDMS devices incorporating both millimeter and micrometer scale structures to be rapidly fabricated without any manual reservoir punching processes. Axons grown from the neuronal somata were physically and fluidically isolated inside the six satellite axon/glia compartments for localized treatments. Astrocytes, when seeded and co-cultured after the establishment of the isolated axons in the satellite axon/glia compartments, were found to physically damage the established axonal layer, as they tend to grow underneath the axons. In contrast, oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) could be co-cultured successfully with the isolated axons and differentiated into mature myelin basic protein-expressing OLs with processes aligning to neighboring axons. OPCs inside the six axon/glia compartments were treated with a high concentration of ceramide (150 ?M) to confirm the fluidic isolation among the satellite compartments. In addition, isolated axons were treated with varying concentrations of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG, 0-25 ?g ml(-1)) within a single device to demonstrate the parallel localized biomolecular treatment capability of the device. These results indicate that the proposed platform can be used as a powerful tool to study CNS axonal biology and axon-glia interactions with the capacity for localized biomolecular treatments.
