The reconstruction of peripheral nerves has lately received great attention as many patients suffer from peripheral nerve injury every year around the world. However, the damage to human nerve cells has different degrees of irreversibility due to a slow growth speed and low adhesion with the surrounding tissues. In an effort to overcome this challenge, we applied novel laminin (LN)-modified thiolated gellan gum (TGG) and loaded the nerve growth factor (NGF) as a tissue engineering scaffold for facilitating neuronal stem cell proliferation via a synergy effect for the ERK-MAPK pathway. TGG was characterized by H-1 NMR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and its rheological behavior was also studied. The NGF release curve fitted the Korsmeyer-Peppas model and belonged to a Fickian diffusion-controlled release mechanism. The neuronal stem cells from newborn SD rats could adhere tightly and proliferate at a relatively rapid speed, showing excellent biocompatibility and the ability to promote growth in the modified TGG. LN and NGF could decrease the apoptosis effects of neuronal stem cells, as shown via the flow cytometry results. In a three-dimensional culture environment, LN and NGF could facilitate neuronal stem cells to differentiate into neurons, as proved by immunofluorescence, q-PCR, and western blot analyses. Therefore, the rational design of the TGG gel loaded with NGF has promising applications in the reconstruction of peripheral nerves.
