Abstract
- Duraplasty after decompression decreases the lesion size and scar formation, promoting better functional recovery, but the underlying mechanism has not been clarified. Here, we fabricated a series of poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate)/polylactic acid/collagen (PHBV/PLA/Col) membranes and cultured them with VSC4.1 motor neurons. The material characteristics and in vitro biological characteristics were evaluated. In the subcutaneous implantation test, PHBV/PLA/COl scaffolds supported the cellular infiltration, microvasculature formation, and decreased CD86-positive macrophage aggregation. Following contusion spinal cord injury at T10 in Sprague-Dawley rats, durotomy was performed with allograft dura mater or PHBV/PLA or PHBV/PLA/Col membranes. At 3 days post-injury, Western blot assay showed decreased the expression of the NLRP3, ASC, cleaved-caspase-1, IL-1β, TNF-α, and CD86 expression but increased the expression of CD206. Immunofluorescence demonstrated that duraplasty with PHBV/PLA/Col membranes reduced the infiltration of CD86-positive macrophages in the lesion site, decreased the glial fibrillary acidic protein expression, and increased the expression of NF-200. Moreover, duraplasty with PHBV/PLA/Col membranes improved locomotor functional recovery at 8 weeks post-injury. Thus, duraplasty with PHBV/PLA/Col membranes decreased the glial scar formation and promoted axon growth by inhibiting inflammasome activation and modulating macrophage polarization in acute spinal cord injury.
