| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We show that an implantation of the serum‐free conditioned medium from stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED‐CM) immersed in a collagen sponge into the nerve gap formed by rat facial nerves transection restored the neurological function. SHED‐CM specifically depleted of a set of anti‐inflammatory M2 macrophage inducers, monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 (MCP‐1) and the secreted ectodomain of sialic acid‐binding Ig‐like lectin‐9 (sSiglec‐9) lost the ability to restore neurological function in this model. Notably, the implantation of a collagen graft containing MCP‐1/sSiglec‐9 into the nerve gap induced anti‐inflammatory M2 macrophage polarization, generated a Schwann‐cell bridge instead of fibrotic scar, induced axonal regrowth, and restored nerve function. Taken together, our data suggest that MCP‐1/sSiglec‐9 regenerates PNs by inducing tissue‐repairing M2 macrophages and may provide therapeutic benefits for severe peripheral nerve injuries.
