Abstract
Autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) are important in numerous pathological processes in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Growing evidence has indicated that pyroptosis-associated inflammasome is involved in the pathogenesis of TBI. Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) has been reported to be as a potential therapeutic drug for neurological diseases. However, the roles of PDGF, autophagy and ER stress in pyroptosis have not been elucidated in the TBI. This study investigated the roles of ER stress and autophagy after TBI at different time points. We found that the ER stress and autophagy after TBI were inhibited, and the expressions of pyroptosis-related proteins induced by TBI, including NLRP3, Pro-Caspase1, Caspase1, GSDMD, GSDMD P30, and IL-18, were decreased upon PDGF treatment. Moreover, the rapamycin (RAPA, an autophagy activator) and tunicamycin (TM, an ER stress activator) eliminated the PDGF effect on the pyroptosis after TBI. Interestingly, the sodium 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA, an ER stress inhibitor) suppressed autophagy but 3-methyladenine (3-MA, an autophagy inhibitor) not for ER stress. The results revealed that PDGF improved the functional recovery after TBI, and the effects were markedly reversed by TM and RAPA. Taken together, this study provides a new insight that PDGF is a potential therapeutic strategy for enhancing the recovery of TBI.

[PMID: 35369033 PMCID: PMC8964670 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s356250] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The frequent occurrence of failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) seriously affects the quality of life of postoperative lumbar patients. Epidural adhesion is the major factor in FBSS. Purpose A safe and effective antiadhesion material is urgently needed. Methods A superhydrophilic PLGA-g-PVP/PC nanofiber membrane (NFm) was prepared by electrospinning. FTIR was performed to identify its successful synthesis. Scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and water contact angle measurement were performed. CCK-8 assays were performed in primary rabbit fibroblasts (PRFs) and RAW264.7 cells to explore the cytotoxicity of PLGA-g-PVP/PC NFm. Calcein-AM/PI staining was used to measure the adhesion status in PRFs. ELISA was performed to measure the concentrations of TNF-α and IL-10 in RAW264.7 cells. In addition, the anti-epidural adhesion efficacy of the PLGA-g-PVP/PC NFm was determined in a rabbit model of lumbar laminectomy. Results The PLGA-g-PVP/PC NFm exhibited ultrastrong hydrophilicity and an appropriate degradation rate. Based on the results of the CCK-8 assays, PLGA-g-PVP/PC NFm had no cytotoxicity to PRFs and RAW264.7 cells. Calcein-AM/PI staining showed that PLGA-g-PVP/PC NFm could inhibit PRF adhesion. ELISAs showed that PLGA-g-PVP/PC NFm could attenuate lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage activation. In vivo experiments further confirmed the favorable anti-epidural adhesion effect of PLGA-g-PVP/PC NFm and the lack of a strong inflammatory response. Conclusion In this study, PLGA-g-PVP/PC NFm was developed successfully to provide a safe and effective physical barrier for preventing epidural adhesion. PLGA-g-PVP/PC NFm provides a promising strategy for preventing postoperative adhesion and has potential for clinical translation.
