Effects of NP-1 on proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of Schwann cell line RSC96 through the NF- κB signaling pathway.

Effects of NP-1 on proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of Schwann cell line RSC96 through the NF-κB signaling pathway. Am J Transl Res. 2020;12(8):4127-4140 Authors: Kou Y, Yu F, Yuan Y, Niu S, Han N, Zhang Y, Yin X, Xu H, Jiang B Abstract Peripheral nerve injury is a common refractory disease in the clinic that often leads to dysfunction of movement and sensation. Different from other tissue injuries, peripheral nerve injury needs a longer time for regeneration. Therefore, effective drug therapy is needed to promote nerve regeneration in the treatment of peripheral nerve injury. Our preliminary studies have shown that continuous intramuscular injection of NP-1 promotes the regeneration of injured sciatic nerve in rats, but the mechanisms were still unknown. Schwann cells are very important cells in the formation of myelin sheath of peripheral nerves and participate in the repair and regeneration of peripheral nerve injury. To further investigate the effect of NP-1 on rat Schwann cells and the underlying mechanism, different concentrations of NP-1 were used to treat rat Schwann cell line RSC96. Light microscopy, CCK-8 assay, cell scratch assay, and special cell staining were performed to investigate RSC96 cell aging and apoptosis. mRNA and protein expression of NF-κB signaling pathway-related factors were determined using qPCR and immunohistochemistry respectively. Light microscopy, CCK-8 assay, cell scratch assay, and special ...
