The TLR4-NF-κB signaling pathway plays an important role in the recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). It can alleviate inflammatory responses, modulate autophagy, apoptosis and ferroptosis, and enhance the anti-oxidative effect. Novel biomaterials as scaffolds and carriers have been designed to regulate TLR4-NF-κB and inhibit the progression of SCI.
The repair and motor functional recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI) has remained a clinical challenge. Injury-induced gliosis and inflammation lead to a physical barrier and an extremely inhibitory microenvironment, which in turn hinders the recovery of SCI. TLR4-NF-kappa B is a classic implant-related innate immunomodulation signaling pathway and part of numerous biomaterial-based treatment strategies for SCI. Numerous experimental studies have demonstrated that the regulation of TLR4-NF-kappa B signaling pathway plays an important role in the alleviation of inflammatory responses, the modulation of autophagy, apoptosis and ferroptosis, and the enhancement of anti-oxidative effect post-SCI. An increasing number of novel biomaterials have been fabricated as scaffolds and carriers, loaded with phytochemicals and drugs, to inhibit the progression of SCI through regulation of TLR4-NF-kappa B. This review summarizes the empirical strategies for the recovery after SCI through individual or composite biomaterials that mediate the TLR4-NF-kappa B signaling pathway.
