Crescentes evidências tem demonstrado a promessa de células-tronco como uma terapia de romance, acidente vascular cerebral. Esta promessa resultou em um grande esforço para avançar terapêutica de células-tronco para o lado da cama, pelo menos 40 ensaios clínicos em curso ou já concluídos. Patologia de curso oferece um único distúrbio neurológico que se presta a terapia de células-tronco, porque após o insulto agudo, não há nenhum processo neurodegenerativas, impedindo a recuperação. O mecanismo exato de...

Derrame é a segunda principal causa de morte no mundo e a quinta causa principal de morte nos Estados Unidos. Apesar destas altas taxas de morte, tratamentos para recuperação de acidente vascular cerebral atualmente permanecem um desafio com sem opções viáveis de médicos actualmente disponíveis1. Existem atualmente cerca de 300 ensaios clínicos lidando com traços isquêmicos, dos quais somente 40 utilizam células-tronco. Estudos anteriores demonstraram que as terapias de células-tronco têm um efeito benéfico sobre o curso reparo2,3. Parácrina fatores como fator neurotrófico derivado do cérebro (BDNF) e thrombospondin-1 (THBS-1) lançado a partir de células progenitoras neurais humanas transplantadas (hNPCs) têm mostrado recuperação funcional melhorada através de mecanismos associados com um aumento na sinapse formação, angiogênese, ramificações dendríticas e novas projeções axonal, bem como modulando o sistema imunológico4,5,6. No entanto, os métodos de entrega ideal das células-tronco permanecem indescritíveis.
Entrega de células-tronco bem sucedida para o cérebro continua a ser um desafio. Atualmente, hidrogel injetável e sistemas poliméricos andaimes foram introduzidos para fornecer células-tronco. Esses métodos de entrega protegem transplante de células-tronco, bem como oferecem proteção contra o ambiente áspero de acidente vascular cerebral incluindo resposta inflamatória do hospedeiro e as condições de hipóxia7,8,9 , 10. no entanto, os materiais mais comumente usados são inertes, que limita o uso de modulação contínua (ou seja, estimulação elétrica) das células11. Estimulação elétrica é uma sugestão que influencia a diferenciação e densidade de canais de íon axônio consequência de células-tronco12. Em comparação com os polímeros inertes, polímeros condutores podem transportar um atual permitindo a estimulação elétrica e manipulação de células-tronco2. No entanto, o mecanismo preciso pelo qual estimulação elétrica modula a liberação de fator neurotrophic (i.e., BDNF e THBS-1) é ainda não totalmente explorado.
Este protocolo, descreveremos os passos para construir um sistema de cultura de células consistindo de um andaime de polímero condutor, polipirrol (PPA), que permite a estimulação elétrica em vitro . Por causa da maneira em que o sistema de cultura de células é fabricado, a posterior implantação de células-tronco-semeado cadafalso para o córtex peri-infarto é possível. Para este sistema, temos condição eletricamente as células-tronco no cadafalso por um curto período de tempo antes da implantação. Após a estimulação elétrica, o andaime de polímero condutor carregando as células é implantado com sucesso intracraniano, usando um método minimamente invasivo.

electrically conductive scaffold to modulate and deliver stem cells

Terapia de células-tronco tem emergido como um excitante curso terapêutica, mas o método de entrega ideal permanece obscuro. Enquanto a técnica de microinjeção tem sido usada há décadas para fornecer células-tronco em modelos stroke, esta técnica é limitada pela falta de habilidade para manipular as células-tronco antes da injeção. Este documento detalha um método do uso de um andaime de polímero eletricamente condutivo para a entrega de células-tronco. Estimulação elétrica de células-tronco usando um andaime de polímero condutor altera os genes da célula tronco envolvidos na sobrevivência celular, resposta inflamatória e remodelamento sináptico. Após pré-condicionamento elétrico, as células-tronco no andaime são transplantadas intracraniano em um modelo de rato de oclusão de artéria cerebral média distal. Este protocolo descreve uma técnica poderosa para manipular as células-tronco através de um andaime de polímero condutor e cria uma nova ferramenta para desenvolver a terapia baseada em células-tronco.

O diagrama mostrado na Figura 1 representa o fluxo de trabalho geral da estimulação elétrica de hNPCs e potenciais aplicações a jusante. Uma limitação atual na terapia de células-tronco é que as células-tronco são expostas a um ambiente áspero do pós-transplante incluindo inflamação e condições isquêmicas. Estas condições difíceis prováveis limitam sua eficácia terapêutica14,15...
