description | Abstract Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a common and severe clinical disease worldwide, which leads to a poor prognosis because of the complicated treatments and high morbidity. Autologous nerve grafting as the gold standard still cannot meet the needs of clinical nerve transplantation because of its low availability and limited size. The development of artificial nerve conduits was led to a novel direction for PNI treatment, while most of the currently developed artificial nerve conduits was lack biochemical cues to promote nerve regeneration. In this study, we designed a novel composite neural conduit by inserting decellularized the rat sciatic nerve or kidney in a poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) grooved conduit. The nerve regeneration effect of all samples was analyzed using rat sciatic nerve defect model, where decellularized tissues and grooved PLGA conduit alone were used as controls. The degree of nerve regeneration was evaluated using the motor function, gastrocnemius recovery, and morphological and histological assessments suggested that the combination of a grooved conduit with decellularized tissues significantly promoted nerve regeneration compared with decellularized tissues and PLGA conduit alone. It is worth to note that the grooved conduits containing decellularized nerves have a promotive effect similar to that of autologous nerve grafting, suggesting that it could be an artificial nerve conduit used for clinical practice in the future.
