The application discloses application of a Histatin-1 polypeptide in preparation of a preparation for promoting
sciatic nerve regeneration or repair, and an
amino acid sequence of the Histatin-1 polypeptide is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1. The Histatin-1 polypeptide can promote expression of a nerve differentiation index, promote
recovery of a functional index after
sciatic nerve injury, and promote
recovery of a histological index after
sciatic nerve injury, for example,
recovery of
myelin structure and morphology. In addition, in combination with
gelatin methacrylate (Gel-MA) as a biological
scaffold, slow release of the Histatin-1 polypeptide can be realized, continuous repair support can be provided for a
nerve injury site,
myelin repair effect is further optimized, a more efficient and more durable solution is provided for treatment of sciatic
nerve injury, and the application has a wide application prospect in the field of treatment of myelinated
nerve injury.
