Abstract
Neuritin plays an important role in promoting nerve injury repair and maintaining synaptic plasticity, making it a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of nerve injury and neurodegenerative diseases. The present study aimed to obtain an active, unlabeled neuritin protein. Initially, a neuritin protein expression system with an enterokinase site was constructed in Escherichia coli. After optimizing induction conditions and screening for high expression, a neuritin recombinant protein with purity exceeding 85 % was obtained through Ni-affinity chromatography. Subsequently, unlabeled neuritin with a molecular weight of 11 kDa was obtained through the enzymatic cleavage of the His label using an enterokinase. Furthermore, a neuritin recombinant protein with purity exceeding 95 % was obtained using gel chromatography. Functional investigations revealed that neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells was stimulated by the isolated neuritin. This study establishes a method to obtain active and unlabeled neuritin protein, providing a foundation for subsequent research on its biological functions.

Oligo (Poly (Ethylene Glycol) Fumarate)-Based Multicomponent Cryogels for Neural Tissue Replacement. Gels 2023; 9:gels9020105. [PMID: 36826275 PMCID: PMC9957547 DOI: 10.3390/gels9020105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Synthetic hydrogels provide a promising platform to produce neural tissue analogs with improved control over structural, physical, and chemical properties. In this study, oligo (poly (ethylene glycol) fumarate) (OPF)-based macroporous cryogels were developed as a potential next-generation alternative to a non-porous OPF hydrogel previously proposed as an advanced biodegradable scaffold for spinal cord repair. A series of OPF cryogel conduits in combination with PEG diacrylate and 2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl-trimethylammonium chloride (MAETAC) cationic monomers were synthesized and characterized. The contribution of each component to viscoelastic and hydration behaviors and porous structure was identified, and concentration relationships for these properties were revealed. The rheological properties of the materials corresponded to those of neural tissues and scaffolds, according to the reviewed data. A comparative assessment of adhesion, migration, and proliferation of neuronal cells in multicomponent cryogels was carried out to optimize cell-supporting characteristics. The results show that OPF-based cryogels can be used as a tunable synthetic scaffold for neural tissue repair with advantages over their hydrogel counterparts.

Abstract
Cells respond to biophysical and biochemical signals. We developed a composite filament from collagen and silica particles modified to interact with collagen and/or present a laminin epitope (IKVAV) crucial for cell-matrix adhesion and signal transduction. This combines scaffolding and signaling and shows that local tuning of collagen organization enhances cell differentiation.

Neuroprotective Effects of Collagen-Glycosaminoglycan Matrix Implantation following Surgical Brain Injury. Mediators Inflamm 2019; 2019:6848943. [PMID: 30809107 PMCID: PMC6369484 DOI: 10.1155/2019/6848943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2018] [Revised: 11/23/2018] [Accepted: 12/12/2018] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Neurological deficits following neurosurgical procedures are inevitable; however, there are still no effective clinical treatments. Earlier reports revealed that collagen-glycosaminoglycan (CG) matrix implantation promotes angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and functional recovery following surgical brain injury (SBI). The present study was conducted to further examine the potential neuroprotective effects of collagen-glycosaminoglycan (CG) matrix implantation following neurosurgery. Methods CG implantation was performed in the lesion cavity created by surgical trauma. The Sprague-Dawley rat model of SBI was used as established in the previous study by the author. The rats were divided into three groups as follows: (1) sham (SHAM), (2) surgery-induced lesion cavity (L), and (3) CG matrix implantation following surgery-induced lesion cavity (L+CG). Proinflammatory (tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells)) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF)) cytokine expression was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Microglial activation was evaluated by immunohistochemistry, and the neuroprotective effect of CG matrix implantation was evaluated by an immunohistochemical study of microglia ED-1 and IBA-1 (activated microglia) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) and by the analysis of IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, NF-κB, and GMCSF cytokine levels. Apoptosis was also assessed using a TUNEL assay. Results The results showed that CG matrix implantation following surgically induced lesions significantly decreased the density of ED-1, IBA-1, and MPO (activated microglia). The tissue concentration of proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-6, and NF-κB was significantly decreased. Conversely, the anti-inflammatory cytokines GMCSF and IL-10 were significantly increased. Conclusions Implantation of the CG matrix following SBI has neuroprotective effects, including the suppression of microglial activation and the production of inflammatory-related cytokines.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are now used in numerous technologies and serve as carriers for several new classes of therapeutics. Studies of the distribution of NPs in vivo demonstrate that they can be transported through biological barriers and are concentrated in specific tissues. Here, transport behavior, and final destination of polystyrene NPs are reported in primary mouse cortical neurons and SH-SY5Y cells, cultured in two-compartmental microfluidic devices. In both cell types, negative polystyrene NPs (PS(-)) smaller than 100 nm are taken up by the axons, undergo axonal retrograde transport, and accumulate in the somata. Examination of NP transport reveals different transport mechanisms depending on the cell type, particle charge, and particle internalization by the lysosomes. In cortical neurons, PS(-) inside lysosomes and 40 nm positive polystyrene NPs undergo slow axonal transport, whereas PS(-) outside lysosomes undergo fast axonal transport. Inhibition of dynein in cortical neurons decreases the transport velocity and cause a dose-dependent reduction in the number of accumulated PS(-), suggesting that the fast axonal transport is dynein mediated. These results show that the axonal retrograde transport of NPs depends on the endosomal pathway taken and establishes a means for screening nanoparticle-based therapeutics for diseases that involve neurons.

Abstract
The development of new biomaterials mimicking the neuronal extracellular matrix (ECM) requires signals for the induction of neuronal differentiation and regeneration. In addition to the biological and chemical cues, the physical properties of the ECM should also be considered while designing regenerative materials for nervous tissue. In this study, we investigated the influence of the microenvironment on tenascin-C signaling using 2D surfaces and 3D scaffolds generated by a peptide amphiphile nanofiber gel with a tenascin-C derived peptide epitope (VFDNFVLK). While tenascin-C mimetic PA nanofibers significantly increased the length and number of neurites produced by PC12 cells on 2D cell culture, more extensive neurite outgrowth was observed in the 3D gel environment. PC12 cells encapsulated within the 3D tenascin-C mimetic peptide nanofiber gel also exhibited significantly increased expression of neural markers compared to the cells on 2D surfaces. Our results emphasize the synergistic effects of the 3D conformation of peptide nanofibers along with the tenascin-C signaling and growth factors on the neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells, which may further provide more tissue-like morphology for therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The major challenges associated with skin regeneration can include hindered vascularization and an insufficient degree of epithelization. In view of the complexity of these processes and the control signals on which they depend, one possible solution to these limitations could be simulating normal skin development and wound repair via the exogenous delivery of multiple cytokines. Here, we report the use of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF or FGF-7) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF or FGF-2) released chemically modified collagen membranes to facilitate skin wound healing. The results from in vitro studies confirmed that this system resulted in higher cellular proliferation and faster cell migration. After transplanting the biomaterial onto an excisional wound healing model, the dual growth factor group, compared with the single growth factor groups and empty control group, showed more highly developed vascular networks and organized epidermal regeneration in the wounds. As a consequence, this experimental group showed mature epidermal coverage. Overall, this novel approach of releasing growth factors from a collagen membrane opens new avenues for fulfilling unmet clinical needs for wound care.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides biochemical signals and structural support for cells, and its functional imitation is a fundamental aspect of biomaterial design for regenerative medicine applications. The stimulation of neural differentiation by a laminin protein-derived epitope in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) environments is investigated. The 3D gel system is found to be superior to its 2D counterpart for the induction of neural differentiation, even in the absence of a crucial biological inducer in nerve growth factor (NGF). In addition, cells cultured in 3D gels exhibits a spherical morphology that is consistent with their form under in vivo conditions. Overall, the present study underlines the impact of bioactivity, dimension, and NGF addition, as well as the cooperative effects thereof, on the neural differentiation of PC-12 cells. These results underline the significance of 3D culture systems in the development of scaffolds that closely replicate in vivo environments for the formation of cellular organoid models in vitro.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Insoluble deposits of β-amyloid (Aβ) are associated to neurodegenerative pathologies, in particular Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The toxicity of synthetic amyloid-like peptides has been largely demonstrated and shown to depend upon their aggregation state. However, standard 2D cell culture conditions are not well suited to study the role of the close vicinity of Aβ aggregates and growing neurites in the degenerative process. Here, we have designed a compartmented set-up where model neural cells are differentiated on the surface of Aβ-containing collagen matrices. The average pore size can be modulated, from below 0.2μm to more than 0.5μm by simple treatment with collagenase, to respectively hamper or permit neurite outgrowth towards the depth of the matrix. Dense Aβ aggregates (Congo red and ThT-positive) were obtained inside the collagen matrix with a homogeneous distribution and dimensions similar to those observed in post-mortem brain slices from Alzheimer's patients. The aggregates are not toxic to cells when the pore size is small, in spite of relatively high concentrations of 0.05-0.62mg of peptide per gram of collagen (equivalent to 11.3-113μM). In contrast, on Aβ-containing matrices with large pores, massive neural death is observed when the cells are seeded in the same conditions. It is the first time to our knowledge that Aβ aggregates with a typical morphology of dense plaques are obtained within a porous biomimetic matrix, and are shown to be toxic only when accessible to differentiating cells. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Insoluble deposits of β-amyloid (Aβ) are associated to neurodegenerative pathologies, in particular Alzheimer's Disease (AD). In this study, we have formed Aβ aggregates directly inside a biomimetic collagen matrix loaded with growth factors to induce the differentiation of PC12 or SH-SY6Y cells. For the first time, we show that when the contact between cells and Aβ aggregates is allowed by opening up the matrix porosity, the close vicinity with aggregates induces neurite dystrophy. The compartmented 3D culture model developed and used in this study is a valuable tool to study the cytotoxicity of preformed dense Aβ aggregates and proves that contact between the aggregates and neurons is required to induce neurodegenerative processes.

Abstract
The desire to develop and evaluate drugs as potential countermeasures for biological and chemical threats requires test systems that can also substitute for the clinical trials normally crucial for drug development. Current animal models have limited predictivity for drug efficacy in humans as the large majority of drugs fails in clinical trials. We have limited understanding of the function of the central nervous system and the complexity of the brain, especially during development and neuronal plasticity. Simple in vitro systems do not represent physiology and function of the brain. Moreover, the difficulty of studying interactions between human genetics and environmental factors leads to lack of knowledge about the events that induce neurological diseases. Microphysiological systems (MPS) promise to generate more complex in vitro human models that better simulate the organ's biology and function. MPS combine different cell types in a specific three-dimensional (3D) configuration to simulate organs with a concrete function. The final aim of these MPS is to combine different "organoids" to generate a human-on-a-chip, an approach that would allow studies of complex physiological organ interactions. The recent discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) gives a range of possibilities allowing cellular studies of individuals with different genetic backgrounds (e.g., human disease models). Application of iPSCs from different donors in MPS gives the opportunity to better understand mechanisms of the disease and can be a novel tool in drug development, toxicology, and medicine. In order to generate a brain-on-a-chip, we have established a 3D model from human iPSCs based on our experience with a 3D rat primary aggregating brain model. After four weeks of differentiation, human 3D aggregates stain positive for different neuronal markers and show higher gene expression of various neuronal differentiation markers compared to 2D cultures. Here we present the applications and challenges of this emerging technology.
