Culturing of glial and neuronal cells on polysialic acid
چکیده انگلیسی

Although peripheral nerves exhibit regeneration capacities after transection injuries, the success of nerve repair depends crucially on the length of the gap. In addition to autologous nerve grafting as the conventional neurosurgical treatment to overcome long gaps, alternative strategies are needed. Numerous experimental studies have been undertaken to find the optimal material for production of artificial prostheses, which can be introduced as conduits between the nerve stumps. The current study follows the aim to establish polysialic acid (polySia), a homopolymer of α2,8-linked sialic acid residues, as a novel, biocompatible, and bioresorbable material for nerve tissue engineering. As a first step towards this goal, protocols for efficient coating of cell culture dishes with soluble polySia were established. In addition, primary nerve cells which are candidates for reconstructive therapies, including neonatal and adult Schwann cells, neural progenitor cells, spinal ganglionic neurons and motoneurons were cultured on polySia substrates. Cultures were evaluated with regard to cell survival and cell proliferation capacities. polySia turned out to be stable under cell culture conditions, and induced degradable and degradation products had no negative effects on cell cultures. Furthermore, polySia revealed its compatibility for several cell types derived from rat embryonic, postnatal and adult nervous tissue when used as a substrate.
