Although preclinical models of spinal cord injury have shown that matrix inclusion in stem cell therapy leads to greater neurological improvements than that including cells alone, there has been insufficient matrix optimization for human cells. -Cadherin influences the development and maintenance of neural tissue, but the effects of -cadherin derived peptide His-Ala-Val-Asp-Ile (HAVDI) on the survival, neurite extension, and expression of neural differentiation markers in human induced pluripotent stem cell derived neural stems (hNSC) have not been widely examined. Using polyethylene glycol hydrogels containing a continuous gradient of HAVDI, this study identifies concentration dependent effects on hNSC survival and neural differentiation.
尽管脊髓损伤的临床前模型表明,在干细胞治疗中加入基质比单纯使用细胞能带来更大的神经功能改善,但针对人类细胞的基质优化仍不足。-钙黏蛋白影响神经组织的发育和维持,但-钙黏蛋白衍生肽His-Ala-Val-Asp-Ile(HAVDI)对人诱导多能干细胞衍生神经干细胞(hNSC)的存活、神经突延伸及神经分化标志物表达的影响尚未得到广泛研究。本研究使用含有连续梯度HAVDI的聚乙二醇水凝胶,确定了其对hNSC存活和神经分化的浓度依赖性影响。
