Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Schwann cells play an important role in regeneration of peripheral nerves and the extracellular matrix(ECM) is also important to growth of Schwann cells.OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of laminin and type Ⅳ collagen on the adhesion and proliferation of Schwann cells.DESIGN: A controlled trial in groups with Schwann cell as subject.SETTING: Plastic Surgery Laboratory of the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The trial was conducted in the Plastic Surgery Laboratory of Xijing Hospital Affiliated to the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from January through April in 1995. The Schwann cells were extracted from newborn rabbits.METHODS: The culture plates were coated with laminin and type Ⅳ collagen. While in the control group, the antibody of laminin and collagen Ⅳ,collagen Ⅰ and polylysine were added respectively. The Schwann cells of the same concentration were cultured in plates of each group. The cells attachment rate in each group ,was determined after 2, 6, 24 hours respectively. After 72 hours 3H-TdR were incorporated into culture matrix fluid and double channel liquid scintillation counter was used for measurement of radiactivity count per minute.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Attachment rate of Schwann cell. ②3H-TdR counting.RESULTS: The attachment rates in laminin and collagen Ⅳ groups (66%and 59% ) were higher than those of the type Ⅰ collagen and polylysine groups(45% and 43% ) after 2-hour culturing. Those in laminin antibody and collagen Ⅳ antibody groups were lower. The incorporation value were (10.0±2.7)×103, (1.3±0.3)×103, (10.4±2.4)×103, (1.4±0.5) ×103, (5.8±2.7)×103, (3.3±1.0)×103 per minute respectively in laminin, laminin antibody, collagen Ⅳ, collagen Ⅳ antibody, collagen Ⅰ and polylysine groups. The incorporation values in laminin and collagen Ⅳgroups were higher than controls.CONCLUSION: Laminin and type Ⅳ collagen promote the attachment and proliferation of Schwann cells in vitro. This study provides experimental basis for applying the action of Schwann cell to the nerve tissue engineering.
