Résumé

The phenotypic expression of various neural cells is influenced by extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules. This study aims to develop a three-dimensional gel tailored to support neurite extension from neural cells. Laminin-derived (LN) oligopeptides CDP-GYIGSR, a 19-mer IKVAV containing sequence, GRGDSP, a cocktail of the three aforementioned LN peptides (PEPMIX), and a control peptide sequence GGGGG were covalently linked to an agarose hydrogel backbone using the bi-functional coupling agent 1'1, carbonyldiimidazole. Embryonic day 9 chick DRGs and PC12 cells were suspended in three dimensions in underivatized and derivatized agarose gels and neurite extension was analyzed. Agarose gels derivatized with CDPGYIGSR and PEPMIX enhanced neurite outgrowth from DRGs while GRGDSP and IKVAV derivatized gels inhibited neurite extension when compared to underivatized agarose gels. The IKVAV derivatized gels significantly enhanced neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells in comparison to underivatized and other LN peptide derivatized gels. Agarose hydrogels carrying covalently immobilized LN oligopeptides thus evoke specific responses from cells which contain receptors to the peptides used. Agarose hydrogels derivatized with neurite promoting peptide sequences may find applications in various models of in vivo regeneration of nervous tissue.

Nerve guidance conduit

A nerve guidance conduit (also referred to as an artificial nerve conduit or artificial nerve graft, as opposed to an autograft) is an artificial means of guiding axonal regrowth to facilitate nerve regeneration and is one of several clinical treatments for nerve injuries. When direct suturing of the two stumps of a severed nerve cannot be accomplished without tension, the standard clinical treatment for peripheral nerve injuries is autologous nerve grafting.

Cône de croissance

Un cône de croissance est une extension dynamique, riche en actine, d'un neurite en développement cherchant un organe cible. Il se situe à l'extrémité distale d'un prolongement axonal ou dendritique neuroblastique en croissance . Il s'agit d'une structure cellulaire transitoire et mobile, qui a pour fonction d'explorer l'environnement extracellulaire et de répondre au guidage axonal assuré par différentes molécules. Les protéines de guidage indiquent au cône de croissance sa voie de migration en modifiant la vitesse ou la direction de sa croissance par une biosynthèse des protéines adaptée.

Tissu nerveux

Le tissu nerveux assure le fonctionnement intégré des organismes animaux. Les cellules responsables de cette activité sont les neurones (composant 20 % du système) et les cellules gliales (80 %), spécialisées dans la communication de proximité avec d'autres cellules de même type. C'est donc un tissu qui a poussé la perception sensorielle depuis des récepteurs, les intègre et provoque une réaction adaptée de l'organisme en transmettant des informations aux (les principaux étant les muscles et les glandes).
