自组装IKVAV多肽纳米纤维支架凝胶及其对嗅鞘细胞的作用

Effects of self-assembled IKVAV peptide nanofibers on olfactory ensheathing cells

摘要:

旨在观察自组装IKVAV多肽纳米纤维支架凝胶对鼠嗅鞘细胞(OECs)的作用。通过调整IKVAV溶液pH值并加入培养液触发多肽自组装为支架凝胶, 用原子力显微镜检测IKVAV分子可以自组装成编织状纳米纤维(直径为3~5 nm)。采用原代分离培养方法获得OECs单细胞悬液后, 使用差速贴壁法两次纯化OECs且在第12天通过免疫染色计数OECs纯度为85%。将IKVAV多肽纳米纤维支架凝胶与OECs复合培养, 倒置显微镜下观察OECs生长良好, Calcein-AM/PI活、死细胞染色表明活细胞数达95%。CCK-8法间接细胞计数证实IKVAV多肽可促进OECs的黏附, 对OECs增殖没有影响。由此可见IKVAV多肽可以自组装成纳米纤维支架凝胶且对OECs有良好的生物相容性及黏附作用, 可作为神经组织工程支架材料。

Abstract:

We observed the effects of IKVAV self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold (SAPNS) on olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs). The IKVAV molecules were triggered to self- assemble to interconnected nanofibers hydrogel by adjusting pH of solution and adding of DMEM/F12 culture medium. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) showed that self-assembly hydrogel was consisted of the interconnected nanofibers, which varied from three nm to five nm in diameter and hundreds nanometer in length. The primary OECs were isolated from rat olfactory bulb and purified by differential adhesion twice. At days 12, the purity of OECs was 85% according to immunostaining of P75 NGFR antibody. OECs were cultured with IKVAV peptide. The adhesion, viability and proliferation of OECs were observed with inverted microscope, Calcein-AM /PI staining and Cell Counting Kit-8. OECs cultured on IKVAV SAPNS grew well and the viable cell count was 95%. IKVAV SAPNS can promote the adhesion of OECs and did no hinder the proliferation of OECs. IKVAV SAPNS nanofiber gel has good biocompatibility and bioactivity for OECs. It can serve as a good nerve tissue engineering scaffold.
