AIMS: Inflammation plays a key role in peripheral nerve adhesion and often leads to severe pain and nerve dysfunction. Minocycline was reported to have potent anti-inflammatory effects and might be a promising drug to prevent or attenuate peripheral nerve adhesion. The present study aimed to clarify whether minocycline contributes to nerve adhesion protection and its underlying mechanism.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Rats with sciatic nerve adhesion induced by glutaraldehyde glue (GG) were intraperitoneally injected with minocycline or saline every 12 h for 7 consecutive days. After that, the adhesion score, Ashcroft score, demyelination, macrophage polarization and inflammatory factors in peripheral nerve adhesion tissues or tissues in sham group were determined with histological staining, western blot and real time-PCR. Murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells were stimulated by LPS alone or together with minocycline at different concentrations and time duration to study the mechanism of minocycline in alleviating nerve adhesion.
KEY FINDINGS: We found that minocycline treatment reduced the adhesion score, Ashcroft score, the growth of scar tissue, demyelination, and macrophage recruitment. Moreover, minocycline significantly and dose-dependently promoted regulatory macrophage polarization but decreased pro-inflammatory macrophage polarization. Furthermore, mechanism studies showed that TAK1 and its downstream pathway p38/JNK/ERK1/2/p65 were inhibited by minocycline, which led to lower IL-1β and TNFα expression, but increased IL-10 expression.
SIGNIFICANCE: Altogether, these results suggest that minocycline is highly effective against peripheral nerve adhesion through anti-fibrosis, anti-inflammation, and myelination protection, making it a highly promising candidate for treating adhesion-related disorders.
