Upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor A/basic fibroblast growth factor (VEGFA/bFGF) expression in the penumbra of cerebral ischemia can increase vascular volume, reduce lesion volume, and enhance neural cell proliferation and differentiation, thereby exerting neuroprotective effects. However, the beneficial effects of endogenous VEGFA/bFGF are limited as their expression is only transiently increased. In this study, we generated multilayered nanofiber membranes loaded with VEGFA/bFGF using layer-by-layer self-assembly and electrospinning techniques. We found that a membrane containing 10 layers had an ideal ultrastructure and could efficiently and stably release growth factors for more than 1 month. This 10-layered nanofiber membrane promoted brain microvascular endothelial cell tube formation and proliferation, inhibited neuronal apoptosis, upregulated the expression of tight junction proteins, and improved the viability of various cellular components of neurovascular units under conditions of oxygen/glucose deprivation. Furthermore, this nanofiber membrane decreased the expression of Janus kinase-2/signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (JAK2/STAT3), Bax/Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase-3. Therefore, this nanofiber membrane exhibits a neuroprotective effect on oxygen/glucose-deprived neurovascular units by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.
脑缺血半暗带中血管内皮生长因子A/碱性成纤维细胞生长因子(VEGFA/bFGF)表达上调可增加血管容量、减少损伤体积,并增强神经细胞增殖与分化,从而发挥神经保护作用。然而,内源性VEGFA/bFGF的有益作用有限,因为其表达仅短暂增加。在本研究中,我们使用层层自组装和静电纺丝技术制备了负载VEGFA/bFGF的多层纳米纤维膜。我们发现,含10层的膜具有理想的超微结构,能够高效、稳定地释放生长因子超过1个月。这种10层纳米纤维膜在氧/葡萄糖剥夺条件下促进脑微血管内皮细胞管形成和增殖,抑制神经元凋亡,上调紧密连接蛋白的表达,并改善神经血管单元各种细胞成分的活力。此外,这种纳米纤维膜降低了Janus激酶2/信号转导和转录激活因子3(JAK2/STAT3)、Bax/Bcl-2和裂解的半胱天冬酶3的表达。因此,这种纳米纤维膜通过抑制JAK2/STAT3途径对氧/葡萄糖剥夺的神经血管单元具有神经保护作用。
