Vasculogenic Tissue Nano-Transfection Enhances Functional Recovery Following Nerve Reconstruction Surgery in a Mouse Model of Segmental Nerve Defect.

ABSTRACT: Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) often result in persistent sensory, motor, and functional deficits, even after surgical reconstruction. While gene and cell therapies offer promise for enhancing regenerative outcomes, effective and targeted delivery remains a significant challenge. Here, we explored vasculogenic Tissue Nano-Transfection (TNT) as a novel, non-viral, reprogramming-based cell therapy to improve outcomes following graft reconstruction surgery. TNT aims to improve nerve regeneration by inducing vasculogenic reprogramming and promoting neovascularization to support axonal growth. Through a combination of in vitro screening and in vivo testing in a nerve crush model, we identified an optimal formulation of the vasculogenic genes, Etv2, Fli1, and Foxc2 (EFF), for enhancing reprogramming and axonal repair. TNT-based deployment EFF in a long segmental nerve defect reconstructed with isografts resulted in significant improvements in functional recovery, including grip strength and muscle contractility. Histological analyses demonstrated increased vascular density and myelinated axon counts. These findings support the therapeutic potential of TNT-mediated vasculogenic reprogramming as an adjunct to surgical repair of complex PNI offering a promising strategy to improve nerve regeneration and functional outcomes.

Vasculogenic Tissue Nano-Transfection Enhances Functional Recovery Following Nerve Reconstruction Surgery in a Mouse Model of Segmental Nerve Defect - Sciatic nerve tissue

TET-Mediated DNA Demethylation is Required for Inducible Vasculogenic Reprogramming of the Skin

Project description:Tissue nanotransfection (TNT) based topical electrophoretic delivery of Etv2, Foxc2, and Fli1 (EFF) plasmids achieve induced vasculogenesis (iV) in the skin by inducing vasculogenic fibroblasts (VF). scRNA-seq analysis revealed TET-dependent gain of VF in dermal fibroblasts in response to EFF. Emergence of VF required TET-dependent demethylation of fibroblast-borne endothelial genes in vivo. Fibroblast-specific inducible overexpression of EFF in TARGATT mice caused induction of TET1/2/3, followed by transition of fibroblast to VF in vivo. TET induction was associated with elevated 5-hmC abundance in VF. TET-dependent demethylation of fibroblast-borne endothelial genes caused the formation of VF and rescued perfusion in diabetic ischemic limbs. TNTEFF rescued perfusion and closure of diabetic wounds. TET enzymes, suppressed in diabetics, play a pivotal role in causing endogenous EFF-induced VF state change of skin fibroblasts. TNT delivery of EFF transcription factors upregulate TET expression. This work is the first to recognize the significance of TET in the inducible formation of blood vessels to rescue diabetic ischemic tissue.

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals the link between axonal regeneration and neuropathic pain by modified analysis of a novel peripheral nerve injury rat model

Project description:Severe peripheral nerve injury (PNI) often causes significant movement disorders and intractable pain. Therefore, promoting nerve regeneration while avoiding neuropathic pain, a problem that remains unsolved, is key to the clinical treatment of PNI patients. Here, we establish a novel spared nerve crush (SNC) rat model that successfully reproduces axonal regeneration and neuropathic pain after PNI. Subsequently, we obtained single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from rat directly injured and indirectly injured rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons at various time points after SNC and found that the PEP1 neuronal subtype in directly injured DRG is of particular interest. Through experimental design, sc-RNA sequence processing (EDSSP) and functional verification, we identified a potential key gene, Adcyap1, that encodes a key molecule linking nerve regeneration and pain after PNI. Our study sheds new light on the intrinsic link between axonal regeneration and neuropathic pain following PNI and provides new molecular targets and ideas for therapeutic intervention.

Netrin-1 engineered endothelial cell exosomes induce the formation of pre-regenerative niche to accelerate peripheral nerve repair

Project description:The formation of vascular niche is pivotal during the early stage of peripheral nerve regeneration. This antecedent angiogenesis meets the nutrient requirements for subsequent rapid axon regeneration and remyelination. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of vascular niche in the regulation of peripheral nerve remain unclear. The axon guidance molecule Netrin-1 (NTN1) is widely expressed in peripheral nerves and particularly was found up-regulated in sciatic nerve stump after peripheral nerve injury (PNI). Herein, we demonstrated that NTN1-high endothelial cells (NTN1+ECs) were the critical component of vascular niche, fostering angiogenesis, axon regeneration and repair-related phenotypes. And we also found that NTN1+ECs derived exosomes (NTN1 EC-EXO) were involved in the formation of vascular niche as a critical role. Multi-omics analysis further verified that NTN1 EC-EXO carried a low-level expression of let7a-5p and activated key pathways associated with niche formation including focal adhesion, axon guidance, PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and mTOR signaling pathway. Taken together, our findings suggested the potential construction of a pre-regenerative niche induced by NTN1 EC-EXO, thereby establishing a conductive microenvironment for nerve repair and facilitating the functional recovery after PNI in the early injury phase.

Radix Astragalus Polysaccharide Accelerates Angiogenesis by Activating AKT/eNOS to Promote Nerve Regeneration and Functional Recovery

Project description:Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) results in loss of neural control and severe disabilities in patients. Promoting functional nerve recovery by accelerating angiogenesis is a promising neuroprotective treatment strategy. Here, we identified a bioactive Radix Astragalus polysaccharide (RAP) extracted from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as a potent enhancer of axonal regeneration and remyelination. Notably, RAP promoted functional recovery and delayed gastrocnemius muscle atrophy in a rat model of sciatic nerve crush injury. Further, RAP treatment induced angiogenesis in vivo. Moreover, our in vitro results showed that the role of RAP in endothelial cell (EC) migration and tube formation was probably related to the activation of AKT/eNOS signaling pathway. Altogether, our results show that RAP can enhance functional recovery by accelerating angiogenesis, thereby providing a polysaccharide-based therapeutic strategy for PNI.

The molecular profile and ability to promote axon regeneration after peripheral nerve injury by Repair Schwann cells is distinctly different from that for developing Schwann cells

Project description:Since Schwann cells (SCs) support axonal growth at development as well as after peripheral nerve injury (PNI), developing SCs might be able to promote axon regeneration after PNI. The purpose of the current study was to elucidate the capability of developing SCs to induce axon regeneration after PNI. SC precursors (SCPs), immature SCs (ISCs), repair SCs (RSCs) from injured nerves, and non-RSCs from intact nerves were tested by grafting into acellular region of rat sciatic nerve with crush injury. Both of developing SCs completely failed to support axon regeneration, whereas both of mature SCs, especially RSCs, induced axon regeneration. Further, RSCs but not SCPs promoted neurite outgrowth of adult dorsal root ganglion neurons. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the gene expression profiles were distinctly different between RSCs and SCPs. These findings indicate that developing SCs are markedly different from mature SCs in terms of functional and molecular aspects and that RSC is a viable candidate for regenerative cell therapy for PNI.

Crosstalk between neural tissue-specific extracellular matrix and mesenchymal stem cells and their promotion of peripheral nerve regeneration in vivo

Project description:A favorable regenerative microenvironment is essential for peripheral nerve regeneration. Neural tissue-specific extracellular matrix (ECM) is a natural material that helps direct cell behavior and promote nerve regeneration. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation is effective in promoting peripheral nerve regeneration. In conclusion, this study summarizes the in vivo response characteristics and underlying molecular mechanisms of BMSCs and ADSCs on neural-tissue-derived ECM materials, providing new clues when selecting the optimal MSCs for repairing PNI in the clinic.
