Abstract

The repair of spinal cord injury (SCI) highly relies on microenvironment remodeling and facilitating the recruitment and neuronal differentiation of endogenous stem/progenitor cells. Decellularized tissue matrices (DTMs) have shown their unique and beneficial characteristics in promoting neural tissue regeneration, especially those derived from the nervous system. Herein, we present a comparative analysis of a DTM hydrogel derived from spinal cord (DSCM-gel) and a decellularized matrix hydrogel derived from peripheral nerves (DNM-gel). The tissue-specificity of DSCM-gel was evaluated both in vitro, using neural stem/progenitor cell (NSPC) culture, and in vivo, using various materials and biological analyses, including transcriptome and proteomics. It was found that DSCM-gel retained an extracellular matrix-like nanofibrous structure but exhibited higher porosity than DNM-gel, which potentiated NSPCs viability, proliferation, and migration in the early stage of 3D culturing, followed by facilitation of the NSPCs differentiation into neurons. Transcriptome analysis indicated that DSCM-gel regulates NSPCs behavior by modulating integrin α2, α9, and β1 expression profiles along with AKT/ERK related signaling pathways. Proteomics analyses suggest that DSCM specific extracellular matrix proteins, such as the tenascin family (TNC) and some soluble growth factor (FGF2) may contribute to these regulations. Furthermore, in vivo assessments confirmed that DSCM-gel provides a suitable microenvironment for endogenous stem/progenitor cell recruitment and axonal regeneration for bridging the lesion site after a completely transected SCI. Thus, this systematic study provides key insights useful for the development of the tissue-specific DTM biomaterials for translational microenvironment replacement therapies and tissue repair.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
