项目摘要
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in loss of cells and blood supply, disruption of brain connectivity to various tissues, and formation of a dense scar around the injury site, ultimately resulting in permanent loss of mobility. There are no proven clinical solutions or pharmaceutical interventions to reverse SCI. To develop successful treatment options for SCI, it is important to first understand the physical, chemical, and biological changes occurring over time in the injured tissues. This information would in turn help in developing improved mimics of such injured tissues (combining important structural, mechanical, and inflammatory aspects) to test the response of various cells resident to the spinal cord, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of pharmaceutical drugs in promoting tissue regeneration to ultimately improve the success of downstream clinical applications. Successful implementation of these objectives will lead to the development and validation of physiologically-relevant integrated systems that improve our fundamental understanding of SCI, while also enabling new testing platforms. The broader impact of this work will include the generation of new insights into how nerve cell outgrowth and targeting is inhibited in an inflammatory SCI tissue, and may be overcome for reparative benefit, specifically in the context of SCI. Besides opportunities for research dissemination to the scientific community, this project will lead to training of diverse undergraduate and graduate students through development of research/educational modules and through the auspices of established summer internship/outreach programs at the investigators' respective institutions.Injury to the central nervous system (CNS) has profound, long-term physiological consequences due to the tissue’s low innate regenerative ability and formation of a glial scar around the injury site. This scar has large soft regions, is inhibitive to axonal/neurite outgrowth, confers an anti-regenerative environment, and is marked by gliosis and production of inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans. The underlying mechanisms for such altered characteristics at the injury site are unclear. The goals of this study are to (1) elucidate and correlate spinal cord tissue-scale mechanical properties, architecture, and mechanochemical signaling at key phases following CNS injury, and (2) identify the mechanochemical response of CNS cells to scar-like physical properties measurable via defined signaling pathways, altered membrane tension, and tension-regulated behaviors. This multi-disciplinary, comprehensive strategy establishes hitherto undefined multi-scale relationships between glial scar structure, micromechanical properties, ECM composition, and CNS cell mechanochemical responses. The newly identified glial scar characteristics will be utilized to develop tunable biomimetic hydrogels for the isolation of CNS cell function, mechano-chemical profiles, membrane tension, and regulated behaviors, towards mimicking the acute injury phase in a humanized in vitro platform. The broader research impacts of this project include generation of new mechanistic insights into how cell functions are dysregulated in an inflammatory milieu, while offering new targets for regeneration. By emphasizing mechanobiological knowledge-driven formulation of glial scar-biomimetic scaffolds, this project represents a paradigm shift in CNS repair and regeneration strategies.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
脊髓损伤(SCI)导致细胞和血液供应的损失,大脑与各种组织的连接中断,并在损伤部位周围形成致密的疤痕,最终导致永久性丧失活动性。目前还没有经过验证的临床解决方案或药物干预来逆转SCI。为了开发成功的SCI治疗方案,重要的是首先要了解受伤组织随时间发生的物理,化学和生物学变化。这些信息反过来将有助于开发这种损伤组织的改进模拟物(结合重要的结构,机械和炎症方面),以测试驻留在脊髓中的各种细胞的反应,以及评估药物在促进组织再生中的功效,最终提高下游临床应用的成功率。这些目标的成功实现将导致生理相关的集成系统的开发和验证,提高我们对SCI的基本理解,同时也使新的测试平台成为可能。这项工作的更广泛的影响将包括对神经细胞生长和靶向如何在炎症性SCI组织中被抑制产生新的见解,并且可能被克服以获得修复益处,特别是在SCI的背景下。除了向科学界传播研究成果的机会外,该项目还将通过开发研究/教育模块和在研究者各自的机构主持既定的暑期实习/推广计划,对不同的本科生和研究生进行培训。长期的生理后果,由于组织的先天再生能力低,并在损伤部位周围形成神经胶质疤痕。该瘢痕具有大的柔软区域,抑制轴突/神经突生长,提供抗再生环境,并且以神经胶质增生和抑制性硫酸软骨素蛋白聚糖的产生为标志。损伤部位这种特征改变的潜在机制尚不清楚。本研究的目的是(1)阐明并关联CNS损伤后关键阶段的脊髓组织尺度机械特性、结构和机械化学信号,以及(2)确定CNS细胞对可通过定义的信号传导途径、改变的膜张力和张力调节行为测量的瘢痕样物理特性的机械化学反应。这种多学科的综合策略建立了迄今为止尚未确定的胶质瘢痕结构,微观力学性能,ECM组成和CNS细胞机械化学反应之间的多尺度关系。新鉴定的神经胶质瘢痕特征将用于开发可调仿生水凝胶,用于分离CNS细胞功能、机械化学特征、膜张力和调节行为,以在人源化体外平台中模拟急性损伤阶段。该项目更广泛的研究影响包括产生新的机制见解,了解细胞功能如何在炎症环境中失调,同时提供新的再生靶点。通过强调机械生物学知识驱动的神经胶质瘢痕仿生支架的制定,该项目代表了中枢神经系统修复和再生策略的范式转变。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
