Method: A silk fibroin film was prepared on a PDMS film containing a 30-micron groove structure and rolled into a tube. The REDV polypeptide is covalently attached to the surface of the silk fibroin graft for modification by dopamine modification. Scanning electron microscope was used to observe the micro morphology of the inner surface, and the electronic universal test (TFW-58) machine was used to detect the changes in the mechanical properties of the silk fibroin scaffold modified with REDV polypeptide. RSC96 cells were planted on the inner surface of the silk fibroin scaffold for 1 - 3 days, and the influence of the groove structure on the inner surface of the silk fibroin scaffold on cell growth was observed. CCK-8 (cell counting Kit-8) assay was used to detect the proliferation of RSC96 cells on the surface of silk fibroin grafts. SD rats were used to prepare sciatic nerve injury models. Silk fibroin catheters (SF), grooved silk fibroin catheters (TOPOLOGY), REDV polypeptide modified silk fibroin catheters (REDV), REDV modified silk fibroin catheters with grooved structure (TOPOLOGY/REDV) were used to perform bridge repair. 12 weeks after the operation, the target muscle wet weight ratio and the longitudinal section of the transplanted sciatic nerve were measured by immunofluorescence staining. Results: Scanning electron microscopy showed that both the TOPOLOGY group and the TOPOLOGY/REDV group had a uniform groove structure; the mechanical test results showed that the mechanical properties of the silk fibroin scaffold modified with REDV polypeptides had been improved; RSC96 cells and silk fibroin grafts were co-cultured, and it was found that the groove structure on the surface of the grafts had a guiding effect on the growth of cells; CCK-8 cell viability test showed that the silk fibroin scaffold modified by REDV polypeptide is more biological than simple silk fibroin scaffold. The CCK-8 cell viability test showed that the silk fibroin scaffold modified by REDV polypeptide has improved biocompatibility compared with the pure silk fibroin scaffold; the target muscle restored wet weight ratio and sciatic nerve longitudinal section immunofluorescence staining results 12 weeks after operation, which shows that the silk fibroin scaffold modifies with REDV polypeptide and has a grooved structure that can promote the adhesion and growth of cells and the repair of damaged nerves. Conclusion: REDV polypeptide modified silk fibroin scaffold with groove structure has good biocompatibility, promotes cell adhesion and growth tendency, and provides a new application for silk fibroin in the field of nerve injury and regeneration.

周围神经缺损是临床上常见的损伤,缺损较短时可通过手术缝合进行临床治疗,当神经缺损长度较大时,无法通过手术缝合缺损神经,必须通过适当的神经移植物来桥接神经损伤间隙和恢复损伤神经功能 [
生物相容性是生物医学材料重要的指标,人工神经移植物必须具有良好的生物相容性。其中,由于其具有优越的生物相容性、低免疫原性及炎症反应性、可调控的生物降解性,基于丝素蛋白的生物材料被广泛应用于组织工程与缓释体系 [
在支架表面添加细胞外基质粘附生物分子的仿生涂层是恢复健康内皮细胞的一种策略。血管内皮细胞纤维连接蛋白CS5区域包含Arg-Glu-Asp-Val (REDV)肽序列,该序列支持内皮细胞在材料表面的附着和扩散 [

周围神经可因各组物理因素而受损,例如:自然灾害、运动损伤、交通事故及药物注射受损等,是临床上常见的损伤 [
丝素蛋白是自然界最丰富且来源最为广泛的生物材料之一,作为天然大分子蛋白它具有生物相容性好,力学性能优良等优点。此外,丝素蛋白还具有可加工性,它可以用作各种形式的生物材料 [
多巴胺在碱性环境中氧化自聚合,几乎能在任何类型的材料表面形成具有黏附性的聚多巴胺层。聚多巴胺能促进细胞的粘附,具有良好的生物相容性,因此聚多巴胺在神经修复中被广泛应用于各类生物材料支架的表面进行改性 [
本研究通过具有均一沟槽的PDMS膜制备丝素导管,在弱碱性环境中使用多巴胺在丝素蛋白支架表面自聚合形成聚多巴胺。Arg-Glu-Asp-Val(REDV)多肽与丝素蛋白支架表面的聚多巴胺结合,从而获得了一种基于精氨酸–谷氨酸–天冬氨酸–缬氨酸修饰的丝素蛋白移植物。
本实验结果表明TOPOLOGY/REDV丝素导管内表面具有均一的取向性沟槽结构,该结构对于细胞的取向生长起到了引导作用,从而促进损伤神经两断端的愈合。较普通丝素导管而言TOPOLOGY/REDV丝素导管的细胞毒性有所降低,力学性能有所改善。同时REDV多肽改性丝素导管内表面的均一沟槽结构对于神经细胞的定向生长具有诱导作用。导管表面的聚多巴胺颗粒及REDV肽有效促进了细胞在材料表面的粘附与扩散。本研究制备的精谷天缬肽改性丝素导管为丝素蛋白在神经损伤再生领域提供了新的应用。
