Abstract

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a pernicious neurodegenerative disorder that is associated with the progressive degeneration of motor neurons, the disruption of impulse transmission from motor neurons to muscle cells, and the development of mobility impairments. Clinically, muscle paralysis can spread to other parts of the body. Hence it may have adverse effects on swallowing, speaking, and even breathing, which serves as major problems facing these patients. According to the available evidence, no definite treatment has been found for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) that results in a significant outcome, although some pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments are currently applied that are accompanied by some positive effects. In other words, available therapies are only used to relieve symptoms without any significant treatment effects that highlight the importance of seeking more novel therapies. Unfortunately, the process of discovering new drugs with high therapeutic potential for ALS treatment is fraught with challenges. The lack of a broad view of the disease process from early to late-stage and insufficiency of preclinical studies for providing validated results prior to conducting clinical trials are other reasons for the ALS drug discovery failure. However, increasing the combined application of different fields of regenerative medicine, especially tissue engineering and stem cell therapy can be considered as a step forward to develop more novel technologies. For instance, organ on a chip is one of these technologies that can provide a platform to promote a comprehensive understanding of neuromuscular junction biology and screen candidate drugs for ALS in combination with pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). The structure of this technology is based on the use of essential components such as iPSC- derived motor neurons and iPSC-derived skeletal muscle cells on a single miniaturized chip for ALS modeling. Accordingly, an organ on a chip not only can mimic ALS complexities but also can be considered as a more cost-effective and time-saving disease modeling platform in comparison with others. Hence, it can be concluded that lab on a chip can make a major contribution as a biomimetic micro-physiological system in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as ALS.

摘要

肌萎缩侧索硬化症是一种恶性神经退行性疾病,与运动神经元的渐进性退化、运动神经元到肌肉细胞的冲动传递中断以及运动障碍的发展有关。临床上,肌肉麻痹可蔓延至身体其他部位。因此,它可能对吞咽、说话甚至呼吸产生不利影响,这是这些患者面临的主要问题。根据现有证据,尽管目前应用了一些药物和非药物治疗并产生了一些积极效果,但尚未找到能产生显著疗效的确切治疗方法来治疗肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)。换句话说,现有疗法仅用于缓解症状,没有任何显著的治疗效果,这凸显了寻求更多新疗法的重要性。不幸的是,发现具有高治疗潜力的ALS治疗新药的过程充满挑战。从早期到晚期对疾病过程缺乏全面认识以及临床前研究不足以在进行临床试验前提供经过验证的结果是ALS药物研发失败的其他原因。然而,增加再生医学不同领域的联合应用,特别是组织工程和干细胞疗法,可以被视为开发更多新技术的一个进步。例如,芯片器官就是其中一种技术,它可以提供一个平台,促进对神经肌肉接头生物学的全面理解,并结合多能干细胞(PSC)筛选ALS候选药物。该技术的结构基于在单个微型芯片上使用诸如诱导多能干细胞衍生的运动神经元和诱导多能干细胞衍生的骨骼肌细胞等基本组件来建立ALS模型。因此,芯片器官不仅可以模拟ALS的复杂性,而且与其他平台相比,可以被视为一个更具成本效益和节省时间的疾病建模平台。因此,可以得出结论,芯片实验室作为一种仿生微生理系统,在治疗诸如ALS等神经退行性疾病方面可以做出重大贡献。
