Hierarchical microtopology and phase-specific delivery functionally restore ultra-long nerve continuity across species

ABSTRACT: Repairing ultra-long peripheral nerve defects remains a major clinical challenge, primarily due to the requirement for regenerative platforms to be capable of integrating spatial guidance with temporally resolved biochemical cues. To address this, we developed a clinically translatable, fully synthetic nerve conduit that aligns with native regenerative principles through hierarchical microtopological engineering and phase-specific molecular delivery. This design creates a pro regenerative microenvironment by synchronizing structural cues with repair cascades. The neuroanatomically inspired core mimics the endoneurium and perineurium, providing extensive cell scale contact guidance for axonal alignment and fasciculation. A dual-layered sheath ensures mechanical integrity, metabolic permeability, and selective exclusion of fibrotic tissue. Tailored to align with distinct phases of nerve repair, the conduit enables sequential release of spermidine and ascorbic acid. Spermidine resolves early inflammation, priming the niche for ascorbic acid-mediated debris clearance, axonal elongation, and remyelination. In both rat (2 cm) and beagle (5 cm) models of critical-sized sciatic nerve defects, the conduit supports structural and functional regeneration comparable to autografts, while yielding superior outcomes in motor coordination and suppression of autotomy. This strategy offers a scalable and mechanistically informed solution for repairing ultra long nerve injuries with high translational promise.

Guidance landscapes unveiled by quantitative proteomics to control reinnervation in adult visual system

Project description:Long-distance regeneration of the central nervous system (CNS) has been achieved from the eye to the brain through activation of neuronal molecular pathways or pharmacological approaches. Characterizing the mature neuronal environment is essential to understand the adult axonal guidance in order to complete the circuit reconstruction. To this end, we used mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomics to characterize the proteomes of major nuclei of the adult visual system: suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), ventral and dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN, dLGN) and superior colliculus (SCol)), as well as the optic chiasm. These analyses revealed the presence of guidance molecules and guidance-associated factors in the adult visual targets. Moreover, by performing bilateral optic nerve crush, we showed that the expression of specific proteins was significantly modulated by the injury in the visual targets, even in the ones most distal to the lesion site. On another hand, we found that the expression of guidance molecules was not modified upon injury and that regenerative axons are able to respond to guidance cues. Together, our results provide an extensive characterization of the molecular environment in intact and injured conditions.

Positional guidance for Schwann cells to build nerve bridge after injury requires Plexin-B1-mediated collision repulsion

Project description:Positional cues are critical to guide orientation of cell movement and morphological transformation during tissue morphogenesis. Positional guidance is particularly important in nerve repair after transection injury to build a new nerve bridge connecting the gap between the proximal and distal nerve stumps. However, the mechanisms governing longitudinal alignment of glial cells in the orientation of nerve axis remain unclear. Here, we reveal that in response to nerve injury, Schwann cells rely on guidance receptor Plexin B1 to orchestrate membrane/actin dynamics for morphological transformation and contact-based collision repulsion for spatial alignment during nerve repair, which requires contact with axons and regenerating growth cones. The Schwann cell alignment in turn provides positional guidance for the longitudinal alignment of macrophages and other stromal cells in the nerve bridge to safeguard axon pathfinding along the nerve axis. Collectively, our studies demonstrate the importance of axonal contacts and Plexin-B1 for providing positional guidance for Schwann cells to longitudinally align along the nerve axis to ensure correct orientation for axon regrowth during nerve regeneration.

Engineering spatially-confined conduits to tune nerve self-organization and allodynic responses via YAP-mediated mechanotransduction

Project description:Chronic allodynia stemming from peripheral stump neuromas can persist for extended periods, significantly compromising patients’ quality of life. Conventional managements for nerve stumps have demonstrated limited effectiveness in ensuring their orderly termination. In this study, we present a spatially confined conduit strategy, designed to enhance the self-organization of regenerating nerves after truncation. This innovative approach elegantly enables the autonomous slowing of axonal outgrowth in response to the gradually constricting space, concurrently suppressing neuroinflammation through YAP-mediated mechanotransduction activation. Meanwhile, the decelerating axons exhibit excellent alignment and remyelination, thereby helping to prevent failure modes in nerve self-organization, such as axonal twisting in congested regions and overgrowth beyond the conduit's capacity.

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.

The circadian clock time tunes axonal regeneration

Project description:Peripheral nervous system injuries lead to long-term neurological disability due to limited axonal regenerative ability. Injury-dependent and more recently injury-independent physiological mechanisms have provided important molecular insight into regenerative mechanisms. However, whether common molecular denominators underpinning both injury-dependent and independent biological processes exist remains unclear. We initially performed a comparative analysis of recently generated transcriptomic datasets associated with the regenerative ability of sciatic dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Surprisingly, circadian rhythms were identified as a the most significantly enriched biological process associated with regenerative capability. We demonstrate that DRG neurons possess an endogenous circadian clock with a 24h oscillations of circadian genes and that their regenerative ability displays a diurnal oscillation in a mouse model of sciatic nerve injury. Consistently, transcriptomic analysis of DRG neurons showed a significant time-of-day dependent enrichment for processes associated with neuronal development and axonal growth, for regeneration and circadian associated genes, including the core clock genes Bmal1 and Clock. Indeed, DRG-specific ablation of the non-redundant clock gene Bmal1showed that it is required for regenerative gene expression, neuronal intrinsic circadian axonal regeneration and target reinnervation. Lastly, Lithium, a chrono-active compound, enhanced nerve regeneration, in wildtype but not in clock genes Bmal1 and Cry1/2-deficient mice. Together, these data demonstrate that daily rhythms and the circadian clock fine-tune the regenerative response of DRG neurons, and they advocate for the use of chrono-active strategies in time-day dependent modulation of nerve repair.

Failures of nerve regeneration caused by aging or chronic denervation are rescued by restoring Schwann cell c-Jun

Project description:After nerve injury, myelin and Remak Schwann cells reprogram to repair cells specialized for regeneration. Normally providing strong regenerative support, these cells fail in aging animals, and during the chronic denervation that results from slow axon growth. This impairs axonal regeneration and causes a significant clinical problem. We find that aging and chronically denervated repair cells express reduced c-Jun protein and the regenerative support provided by these cells is also reduced. In both cases, genetically restoring Schwann cell c-Jun levels restores regeneration to that in controls. We identify potential gene candidates mediating this effect and implicate Shh in the control of Schwann cell c-Jun levels. These experiments reveal that a common mechanism, reduced c-Jun in repair cells, underlies two major reasons for regeneration failure in the PNS. They underscore the central importance of Schwann cell c-Jun as a regulator of nerve repair, and point to molecular pathways that can be manipulated for improving the clinical outcome of nerve injuries.

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.

Bilayer Bio-instructive Conduits Drive Neuropathic Pain Relief via Multi-level Molecular Reprogramming

Project description:Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) frequently progresses into chronic neuropathic pain (NP) when the early-stage regenerative microenvironment fails to stabilize, subsequently triggering peripheral and central sensitization. In this study, an autonomous, bio-instructive bilayer nerve guidance conduit (NGC) is engineered, integrating a piezoelectric PLLA inner layer (output 1151.35 mV) with a ropivacaine (RVC)-loaded PCL outer layer (83.63% release over 14 days). This dual-functional platform aims to achieve synchronized structural restoration and long-term analgesia. In vitro, the piezo-induced surface potentials triggers Ca2+ mobilization and activates the NGF, GDNF Mmp-9, Jun, Olig1, and Shh genes, promoting Schwann cells (SCs) proliferation, migration, and phenotypic reprogramming, which effectively blocked the peripheral sensitization. In vivo, using a rat chronic constriction injury (CCI) model, PLLA-PCL-RVC@NGC significantly alleviates mechanical, thermal, and cold hypersensitivity while accelerating functional recovery (SFI), thereby preventing the central sensitization. RNA-seq and serum analysis reveal that the device modulates TNF-α/NF-κB, IFN-α/γ, and IL-6 cytokines. This was evidenced by the significant downregulation of IgG, TGF-β1, S100, NF200, MMP-9, and Fcgr1A genes, alongside enhanced regenerative markers. By synergizing autonomous autonomous piezo-potentials with the sustained release of RVC, this bio-instructive NGC effectively attenuates both peripheral and central sensitization, thereby averting the onset of NP.
