Abstract:
:Astroglial scaring and limited neurogenesis are two problematic issues in recovery of spinal cord injury (SCI). In the meantime, it seems that mechanical manipulations of scaffold to inhibit astroglial scarring and improve neurogenesis is worthy of value. In the present investigation, the effect of nanofiber (gel) concentration as a mechanical-stimuli in neurogenesis was investigated. Cell viability, membrane damage, and neural differentiation derived from endometrial stem cells encapsulated into self-assembling peptide nanofiber containing long motif of laminin were assessed. Then, two of their concentrations that had no significant difference of neural differentiation potential were selected for motor neuron investigation in SCI model of rat. MTT assay data showed that nanofibers at the concentrations of 0.125 and 0.25 % w/v induced higher and less cell viability than others, respectively, while cell viability derived from higher concentrations of 0.25 % w/v had ascending trend. Gene expression results showed that noggin along with laminin motif over-expressed TH gene and the absence of noggin or laminin motif did not in all concentrations. Bcl2 over-expression is concomitant with the decrease of nanofiber stiffness, NF+ cells increment, and astrogenesis inhibition and dark neuron decrement in SCI model. It seems that stiffness affects on Bcl2 gene expression and may through β-Catenin/Wnt signaling pathway and BMP-4 inhibition decreases astrogenesis and improves neurogenesis. However, stiffness had a significant effect on upregulation of GFAP+ cells and motor neuron recovery in in vivo. It might be concluded that eventually there is a critical definitive point concentration that at less or higher than of it changes cell behavior and neural differentiation through different molecular pathways.
