- Neural stem cells (NSCs) show great promise in drug discovery and clinical application. Yet few efforts have been made to optimize biocompatible materials for such cells to be expanded and used in clinical conditions. We have previously demonstrated that NSCs are readily cultured on substrates of certain recombinant spider silk protein without addition of animal- or human-derived components. The question remains however whether this material allows differentiation into functional neurons, and whether such differentiation can take place also when the NSCs are cultured not only upon but also within the biodegradable material. Here we demonstrate that “foam”-like structures generated from recombinant spider silk protein (4RepCT) provided excellent matrices for the generation and multicellular analysis of functional excitatory neurons from NSCs without addition of animal- or human-derived components. NSCs isolated from the cerebral cortices of rat embryos were cultured at either 4RepCT matrices shaped as foam-like structures without coating, or on conventional polystyrene plates coated with poly-L-ornithine and fibronectin. Upon treatment with recombinant proteins including the extracellular signaling factor BMP4 or a combination of BMP4 and the signaling factor Wnt3a, the cortical NSCs cultured in 4RepCT foam-like structures differentiated efficiently into neurons that responded to glutamate receptor agonists, such as AMPA, to the same extent as control cultures. Matrices derived from recombinant spider silk proteins thus provide a functional microenvironment for neural stem cells with little or no animal- or human-derived components and can be employed in the development of new strategies in stem cell research and tissue engineering.

- BackgroundThere are no prospective trials comparing the two main reconstructive options after colectomy for Ulcerative colitis, ileal pouch anal anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis. An attempt on a randomized controlled trial has been made but after receiving standardized information patients insisted on choosing operation themselves.MethodsAdult Ulcerative colitis patients subjected to colectomy eligible for both ileal pouch anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis are asked to participate and after receiving standardized information the get to choose reconstructive method. Patients declining reconstruction or not considered eligible for both methods will be followed as controls. The CRUISE study is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, open-label, controlled trial on satisfaction, QoL, function, and complications between ileal pouch anal anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis.DiscussionReconstruction after colectomy is a morbidity-associated as well as a resource-intensive activity with the sole purpose of enhancing function, QoL and patient satisfaction. The aim of this study is to provide the best possible information on the risks and benefits of each reconstructive treatment.
