This study has examined the effects of recombinant human MDP77 (rhMDP77) on sciatic motor nerve regeneration in vivo. We carried out bridge grafting (14 mm):into the sciatic nerve of Sprague-Dawley rat, using silicone tubes containing a mixture of type-I collagen and 0, 5, 10, or 20 mug/ml of rhMDP77, or containing phosphate-buffered solution (N = 6 in each group). Electrophysiological and histological evaluations carried out 12 weeks after implantation suggest that rhMDP77 has a positive effect on terminal and collateral sprouting of regenerating nerves and thereby promotes motor nerve regeneration in a dose-dependent manner.
