23 Jul Construction of neural stem cell derived tissue engineering spinal cord tissue
Abstract
The invention relates to a neural stem cell derived tissue engineering spinal cord tissue for simulating a spinal cord tissue structure and main cell constituents. The neural stem cell derived tissue engineering spinal cord tissue is obtained by in-vitro culture and construction through a biological tissue engineering technology and a neural stem cell induced differentiation technology, and has a white matter like structure in the peripheral part and a grey matter like structure in the central part. CNTF (ciliary neurotrophic factor) gene modified oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are planted in the white matter like structure; and NT-3 gene and receptor thereof TrkC gene modified neural stem cells (NSCs) are planted in the grey matter like structure. When being transplanted to a spinal cord complete transection injury site, the tissue engineering spinal cord tissue has favorable cell activity and can secrete neurotrophic factors to accelerate regeneration of spinal cord injured central neuron axons; and the tissue engineering spinal cord tissue can realize corresponding functions of oligodendrocytes and neurons, and serves as a neural information transfer relay to form a synaptic connection with regenerated nerve fibers so as to repair spinal cord injured neural circuits. The tissue engineering spinal cord tissue can also be used as an in-vitro model for neural pharmacology and neural development researches.
