PURPOSE: Despite gaining popularity as a bridge for small and moderate nerve gaps, an acellular nerve allograft (ANA) lacks many of the neurotrophic characteristics of a nerve autograft. Pseudomembranes induced to form around temporary skeletal spacers are rich in growth factors. Induced membranes may have beneficial neurotrophic factors which could support ANA.
METHODS: Twenty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent resection of 2 cm of the sciatic nerve. A silicone rod was inset in the defect of 11 experimental rats, and marking sutures only were placed in the nerve stumps of the remaining 11 control rats. After allowing 4 weeks for tissue maturation, tissue samples harvested from the induced membrane (experimental group) and the tissue bed (control group) were analyzed using Luminex multiplex assay to quantify differences in detectable levels of the following neurotrophic factors: nerve growth factor, glial-derived nerve factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, and transforming growth factor ß (TGF-ß) 1, 2, and 3, interleukin-1ß, and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1.
RESULTS: No difference was detected between the control and experimental groups in levels of vascular endothelial growth factor. Higher levels of TGF-ß1, TGF-ß2, TGF-ß3, glial-derived nerve factor, nerve growth factor, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, and interleukin-1ß were detected in the experimental group.
CONCLUSIONS: In the setting of peripheral nerve injury, an induced membrane has higher levels of several neurotrophic factors that may support nerve regeneration compared to wound bed cicatrix.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This investigation provides impetus for further study examining the utility of using a staged induced membrane technique in conjunction with delayed nerve grafting in reconstruction of some peripheral nerve defects.
