Neuronal differentiation and inhibition of glial differentiation of murine neural stem cells by pHPMA hydrogel for the repair of injured spinal cord. Exp Neurol 2023; 368:114497. [PMID: 37517459 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2023.114497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/23/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023]
Abstract
Currently, several therapeutic methods of treating the effects of spinal cord injury (SCI) are being considered. On the one hand, transplantation of stem cells (SCs), in particular, neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs), is promising, as these cells have the potential to differentiate into nervous tissue cells, able to enhance endogenous regeneration and prevent the development of inflammatory processes. On the other hand, it is quite promising to replace the damaged nervous tissue with synthetic matrices, in particular hydrogels, which can create artificial conditions for the regenerative growth of injured nerve fibers through the spinal cord injury area, i.e. stimulate and support axonal regeneration and myelination. In this work, we combined both of these novel approaches by populating (injecting or rehydrating) a heteroporous pHPMA hydrogel (NeuroGel) with murine hippocampal NSPCs. Being inside the hydrogel (10 days of cultivation), NSPCs were more differentiated into neurons: 19.48% ± 1.71% (the NSPCs injection into the hydrogel) and 36.49% ± 4.20% (the hydrogel rehydration in the NSPCs suspension); in control cultures, the level of differentiation in neurons was only 2.40% ± 0.31%. Differentiation of NSPCs into glial cells, in particular into oligodendrocyte progenitor cells, was also observed - 8.89% ± 2.15% and 6.21% ± 0.80% for injection and rehydration variants, respectively; in control - 28.75% ± 2.08%. In the control NSPCs culture, there was a small number of astrocytes - 2.11% ± 0.43%. Inside the hydrogel, NSPCs differentiation in astrocytes was not observed. In vitro data showed that the hydrogel promotes the differentiation of NSPCs into neurons, and inhibits the differentiation into glial cells. And in vivo showed post-traumatic recovery of rat spinal cord tissue after injury followed by implantation of the hydrogel+NSPCs complex (approximately 7 months after SCI). The implant area was closely connected with the recipient tissue, and the recipient cells freely grew into the implant itself. Inside the implant, a formed dense neuronal network was visible. In summary, the results are primarily an experimental ground for further studies of implants based on pHPMA hydrogel with populated different origin SCs, and the data also indicate the feasibility and efficiency of using an integrated approach to reduce possible negative side effects and facilitate the rehabilitation process after a SCI.

Abstract
Schwann cells (SCs) dominate the regenerative behaviors after peripheral nerve injury by supporting axonal regrowth and remyelination. Previous reports also demonstrated that the existence of SCs is beneficial for nerve regeneration after traumatic injuries in central nervous system. Therefore, the transplantation of SCs/SC-like cells serves as a feasible cell therapy to reconstruct the microenvironment and promote nerve functional recovery for both peripheral and central nerve injury repair. However, direct cell transplantation often leads to low efficacy, due to injection induced cell damage and rapid loss in the circulatory system. In recent years, biomaterials have received great attention as functional carriers for effective cell transplantation. To better mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM), many biodegradable materials have been engineered with compositional and/or topological cues to maintain the biological properties of the SCs/SCs-like cells. In addition, ECM components or factors secreted by SCs also actively contribute to nerve regeneration. Such cell-free transplantation approaches may provide great promise in clinical translation. In this review, we first present the current bio-scaffolds engineered for SC transplantation and their achievement in animal models and clinical applications. To this end, we focus on the physical and biological properties of different biomaterials and highlight how these properties affect the biological behaviors of the SCs/SC-like cells. Second, the SC-derived biomaterials are also reviewed and discussed. Finally, the relationship between SCs and functional biomaterials is summarized, and the trends of their future development are predicted toward clinical applications.

Abstract
Nerve regeneration and repair still remain a huge challenge for both central nervous and peripheral nervous system. Although some therapeutic substances, including neuroprotective agents, clinical drugs and stem cells, as well as various growth factors, are found to be effective to promote nerve repair, a carrier system that possesses a sustainable release behavior, in order to ensure high on-site concentration during the whole repair and regeneration process, and high bioavailability is still highly desirable. Hydrogel, as an ideal delivery system, has an excellent loading capacity and sustainable release behavior, as well as tunable physical and chemical properties to adapt to various biomedical scenarios; thus, it is thought to be a suitable carrier system for nerve repair. This paper reviews the structure and classification of hydrogels and summarizes the fabrication and processing methods that can prepare a suitable hydrogel carrier with specific physical and chemical properties. Furthermore, the modulation of the physical and chemical properties of hydrogels is also discussed in detail in order to obtain a better therapeutic effect to promote nerve repair. Finally, the future perspectives of hydrogel microsphere carriers for stroke rehabilitation are highlighted.

Abstract
The engineering of tissues under a three-dimensional (3D) microenvironment is a great challenge and needs a suitable supporting biomaterial-based scaffold that may facilitate cell attachment, spreading, proliferation, migration, and differentiation for proper tissue regeneration or organ reconstruction. Polysaccharides as natural polymers promise great potential in the preparation of a three-dimensional artificial extracellular matrix (ECM) (i.e., hydrogel) via various processing methods and conditions. Natural polymers, especially gums, based upon hydrogel systems, provide similarities largely with the native ECM and excellent biological response. Here, we review the origin and physico-chemical characteristics of potentially used natural gums. In addition, various forms of scaffolds (e.g., nanofibrous, 3D printed-constructs) based on gums and their efficacy in 3D cell culture and various tissue regenerations such as bone, osteoarthritis and cartilage, skin/wound, retinal, neural, and other tissues are discussed. Finally, the advantages and limitations of natural gums are precisely described for future perspectives in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in the concluding remarks.
