ABSTRACTS
Nerve guidance conduit (NGC) is a potential alternative to autologous nerve for peripheral nerve regeneration. A promising therapeutic strategy is to modify the nerve guidance conduit intraluminal microenvironment using physical and/or chemical guidance cues. In this study, a neurotrophic peptide-functionalized self-assembling peptide nanofiber hydrogel that could promote PC12 cell adhesion, proliferation, and neuronal differentiation in vitro was prefilled in the lumen of a hollow chitosan tube (hCST) to accelerate axonal regeneration in a rat sciatic nerve defect model. The functionalized self-assembling peptide was developed by introducing a neurotrophic peptide (RGI, RGIDKRHWNSQ) derived from brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) to the C-terminus of the self-assembling peptide RADA16-I (Ac-(RADA)4-CONH2). Morphological, histological, electrophysiological, and functional analyses demonstrated that the RGI-functionalized, self-assembling, peptide nanofiber hydrogel RAD/RGI could produce a neurotrophic microenvironment that markedly improved axonal regeneration with enhanced re-myelination and motor functional recovery.

KEY WORDS

The therapeutic effect of anti-CD52 treatment in murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis is associated with altered IL-33 and ST2 expression levels

文献作者：Mark Barbour, Rachel Wood, Shehla U.Hridi, Chelsey Wilson, Grant McKay, Trevor J.Bushell, Hui-Rong Jiang   《Journal of Neuroimmunology》 ABSTRACTS Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis  (EAE) mice were administered with murine anti-CD52  antibody  to investigate its therapeutic effect and whether the treatment modulates IL-33 and ST2 expression. EAE severity and  central nervous system  (CNS) inflammation were reduced following the treatment, which was accompanied by peripheral  T and B lymphocyte  depletion and reduced production of various  cytokines  including IL-33, while sST2 was increased. In spinal cords of EAE mice, while the number of IL-33 +  cells remained unchanged, the extracellular level of IL-33 protein was significantly reduced in anti-CD52 antibody treated mice compared with controls. Furthermore the number of ST2 +  cells in the spinal cord of treated EAE mice was  downregulated ...
