Description

Preparation of combined stem cell and hydrogel biomaterial and application of combined stem cell and hydrogel biomaterial to spinal cord injury
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of spinal cord injury repair, and particularly relates to preparation of a combined stem cell and hydrogel biomaterial and application of the combined stem cell and hydrogel biomaterial in spinal cord injury.
Background
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a common disabling severe trauma in clinic, with the consequences of neuronal death and axon rupture, loss of innervation function, resulting in severe physical, psychological and social interaction impairment for patients, as well as a heavy burden on society and families, and its treatment is a long-term problem and research focus in the medical community. Conventional wisdom holds that Astrocyte (AS) proliferation, glial scarring and cavity formation following spinal cord injury are major factors that hinder efficient regeneration and growth of injured spinal axons. In recent years, with the rapid development of neurophysiology, neurocytobiology and molecular biology, the research on pathophysiology and repair mechanism of spinal cord injury is continuously and deeply carried out, and the latest research shows that AS reaction and glial scar microenvironment after spinal cord injury have important effects on neuron survival, axon regeneration and connection, and even activation and differentiation of endogenous nerve stem, so that the AS reaction and the glial scar microenvironment after spinal cord injury are key factors for determining the repair of nerve structure and function after spinal cord injury.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are easily obtained, are not restricted by ethics, have multidirectional differentiation potential, have strong nutrition and immunoregulatory activity, low immunogenicity, high safety and the ability of regulating and controlling inflammatory reaction, and the secreted trophic factors can promote the survival of cells in damaged areas, improve the microenvironment in the damaged areas and improve the motor function after spinal cord injury. Therefore, the mesenchymal stem cells have the characteristics of protecting neurons and promoting nerve regeneration.
Neuroepithelial stem cells (NESCs) are neural stem cells in the neural tube development stage, and have strong proliferation and differentiation abilities. After the neuroepithelial stem cells are transplanted to the injured part of the spinal cord, the neuroepithelial stem cells can provide cell nutrition support for the injured part, protect nerve cells from apoptosis and promote the growth of injured axons; can efficiently differentiate to generate neurons, integrate with host spinal cord neurons, promote nerve regeneration, reestablish a nerve circuit at a damaged part to rebuild corticospinal tracts, and promote the recovery of the nerve function of spinal cord injury.
At present, a set of serum-free mesenchymal stem cell amplification schemes is established domestically, a set of culture systems for efficiently and stably amplifying neuroepithelial stem cells is established, and NESCs and MSCs can be produced in a standardized manner.
The biomaterial is used as a stem cell carrier bracket, has good biocompatibility and degradability, can simulate soft tissue environment, effectively support and guide axon regeneration and migration, inhibit the formation of colloid scars, and is beneficial to the transfer of nutrient substances and growth factors, so that the combination of the biomaterial and the stem cells can avoid cell loss caused by spinal fluid flow and reduce the attack of immune cells. The combination of the biomaterial hydrogel and the stem cells can promote the recovery of the motor function of spinal cord injury.
Current spinal cord injuries lack effective repair methods and transplantation therapy of stem cells offers the possibility for treatment of the disease, however selection of stem cell types appropriate for spinal cord injury and associated stem cell delivery systems are still lacking.
Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, proposed herein is a combined stem cell and hydrogel biomaterial preparation and its application in spinal cord injury.

5. The method comprises the following specific steps of (1) observing and evaluating the scar area of spinal cord injury and the nerve regeneration condition, and observing by dyeing with an immunofluorescence enzyme method:
step1: after the slide was taken out and washed with PBS solution (3 times), overnight permeation was carried out with 0.2% TritonX100 solution, and after washing with PBS, blocking solution (3% BSA) was added and the slide was blocked in a wet box at room temperature for 2 hours. Mu.l of rabbit anti-rat GFAP antibody or mouse anti-rat NF (Neurofament) antibody diluted with the antibody diluent was placed in a wet box overnight at 4 ℃, and the next day of PBS washing was followed by 100. Mu.l of donkey anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody or rabbit anti-mouse IgG polyclonal antibody (1. After PBS washing (3 times), the sections were sealed and stored in dark with 50% glycerol-PBS solution, and then observed under a confocal laser microscope for staining and photographed.
Step2: the area of the scar of the spinal cord injury is observed, after the spinal cord injury, astrocytes participate in forming glial scar tissues, and axon regeneration is limited, so that the size of the glial scar tissues is one of indexes for evaluating nerve regeneration and repair, and the astrocytes are marked by using a GFAP antibody. The results in fig. 4 show that the control untreated group had a large number of activated GFAP + astrocytes at the site of injury, with the largest proportion, and the site of injury had a larger luminal area. The GFAP + cells of the hydrogel microsphere group are reduced to a certain degree, which shows that the hydrogel microspheres have a certain function of inhibiting the formation of colloid scars, and the addition of the stem cells further induces the reduction of the GFAP + cells at the spinal cord injury part. GFAP + cells did not show significant differences between the MSC microsphere treatment group, NESC microsphere treatment group, and MSC + NESC microsphere treatment group, but the MSC + NESC microsphere treatment group had more regular cell distribution and minimal cavity area. The stem cell-loaded hydrogel microspheres are implanted to effectively prevent the excessive accumulation of astrocytes and inhibit the generation of glial scars. Regeneration of new neurons is involved in spinal cord regeneration.
And step3: nerve regeneration was observed by using NF (nerve fiber filament) to label the fibers of the regenerated nerve. The results in fig. 5 show that the control untreated group had fewer NF + nerve fibers at the injury site, sparse morphology, shorter length, and no significant nerve fiber regeneration. The hydrogel microsphere group showed a small number of NF + nerve fibers at the site of injury. The density of NF + at the injured part of the spinal cord after stem cell treatment is obviously increased, the nerve fibers are regenerated in a large amount and are distributed more regularly, the ratio of NF + cells in the MSC + NESC treatment group is higher than that in the MSC and NESC treatment group, and the nerve fibers are in clear and linear shapes and are connected with the front and rear sections of the spinal cord injury.
