We aimed to identify whether inhibition of micro RNA-146 b（mi R-146 b）affected SC proliferation, migration, and myelinated axon regeneration following sciatic nerve injury by regulating its direct target KLF7. SCs were transfected with mi RNA lentivirus, mi RNA inhibitor lentivirus, or KLF7 si RNA lentivirus in vitro. The expression of mi R146 b and KLF7,as well as SC proliferation and migration, were subsequently evaluated. In vivo, an acellular nerve allograft（ANA） followed by injection of GFP control vector or a lentiviral vector encoding an mi R-146 b inhibitor was used to assess the repair potential in a model of sciatic nerve gap. mi R-146 b directly targeted KLF7 by binding to the 30-UTR, suppressing KLF7. Up-regulation of mi R-146 b and KLF7 knockdown significantly reduced the proliferation and migration of SCs, whereas silencing mi R-146 b resulted in increased proliferation and migration. KLF7 protein was localized in SCs in which mi R-146 b was expressed in vivo.Similarly, 4 weeks after the ANA, anti-mi R-146 b increased KLF7 and its target gene nerve growth factor cascade, promoting axonal outgrowth. Closer analysis revealed improved nerve conduction and sciatic function index score, and enhanced expression of neurofilaments, P0（anti-peripheral myelin）, and myelinated axon regeneration. Our findings provide new insight into the regulation of KLF7 by mi R-146 b during peripheral nerve regeneration and suggest a potential therapeutic strategy for peripheral nerve injury.展开更多
