Premature white matter injury (PWMI) represents the principal form of brain injury in preterm infants, and effective therapies remain elusive. Transplantation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) emerges as a potential treatment for PWMI, yet the injury-induced inflammatory response may impact these cells’ functionality. To date, no studies have explored the influence of inflammatory factors on the functionality of human (h) OPCs. The predominant inflammatory cytokines identified in PWMI lesions are tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β. This study investigates the impact of these cytokines on hOPC migration, proliferation, and differentiation using the human adult neural stem cell amplification and differentiation system in vitro. Results indicate that IL-1β significantly impedes hOPC migration, while both TNF-α and IL-1β hinder proliferation and differentiation. In summary, inflammatory factors overexpressed following PWMI impede OPCs from realizing their regenerative potential. These findings underscore the necessity of modulating the post-PWMI inflammatory milieu to enhance the efficacy of transplanted cells concerning migration, proliferation, and differentiation.
