Abstract
With the rapid development of society and the economy, population aging has become a common challenge faced by many countries in the world today. Structural and functional changes in the cardiovascular system can occur with age, increasing the incidence and severity of cardiovascular diseases in older adults. Due to the limited regenerative capacity of myocardial cells, myocardial infarction and its resulting heart failure and congenital heart disease have become the number one killer of human health. At present, the treatment of cardiovascular diseases includes drug therapy and nondrug therapy. Nondrug therapy mainly includes minimally invasive interventional therapy, surgical diagnosis and treatment, and cell therapy. Long-term drug treatment may cause headache due to vasodilation, lower blood pressure, digestive system dysfunction and other side effects. Surgical treatment is traumatic, difficult to treat, and expensive. In recent years, stem cell therapy has exhibited broad application prospects in basic and clinical research on cardiovascular disease because of its plasticity, self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation potential. Therefore, this paper looks at stem cell therapy for diseases, reviews recent advances in the mechanism and clinical transformation of cardiovascular aging and related diseases in China, and briefly discusses the development trend and future prospects of cardiovascular aging research.

Abstract
More research is being conducted on myocardial cell treatments utilizing stem cell lines that can develop into cardiomyocytes. All of the forms of cardiac illnesses have shown to be quite amenable to treatments using embryonic (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In the present study, we reviewed the differentiation of these cell types into cardiomyocytes from an epigenetic standpoint. We also provided a miRNA network that is devoted to the epigenetic commitment of stem cells toward cardiomyocyte cells and related diseases, such as congenital heart defects, comprehensively. Histone acetylation, methylation, DNA alterations, N6-methyladenosine (m6a) RNA methylation, and cardiac mitochondrial mutations are explored as potential tools for precise stem cell differentiation.

Abstract
Mitigation of irradiation injury to salivary glands was previously reported using a cell-free extract from mouse bone marrow. However, to bring this potential therapy a step closer to clinical application, a human bone marrow cell extract (BMCE) needs to be tested. Here, we report that irradiation-induced injury of salivary glands in immunocompetent mice treated with human BMCE secreted 50% more saliva than saline-injected mice, and BMCE did not cause additional acute inflammatory reaction. In addition, to identify the cell fraction in BMCE with the most therapeutic activity, we sorted human bone marrow into 3 cell fractions (mononuclear, granulocyte, and red blood cells) and tested their respective cell extracts. We identified that the mononuclear cell extract (MCE) provided the best therapeutic efficacy. It increased salivary flow 50% to 73% for 16 wk, preserved salivary parenchymal and stromal cells, and doubled cell proliferation rates while producing less inflammatory response. In contrast, the cell extract of granulocytes was of shorter efficacy and induced an acute inflammatory response, while that from red blood cells was not therapeutically effective for salivary function. Several proangiogenic (MMP-8, MMP-9, VEGF, uPA) and antiangiogenic factors (TSP-1, PF4, TIMP-1, PAI-1) were identified in MCE. Added advantages of BMCE and MCE for potential clinical use were that cell extracts from both male and female donors were comparably bioactive and that cell extracts could be stored and transported much more conveniently than cells. These findings suggest human BMCE, specifically the MCE fraction, is a promising therapy against irradiation-induced salivary hypofunction.

Abstract
Objective The mechanism by which mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation alleviates atherosclerosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remains elusive. In this study, we aim to explore the efficacy and mechanism of MSC in ameliorating atherosclerosis in SLE. Methods ApoE−/− and Fas−/− mice on the B6 background were cross-bred to generate SLE mice with atherosclerosis. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) were sorted and quantified. The apoE−/−Fas−/− mice were either treated with anti-Gr antibody or injected with MDSCs. The lupus-like autoimmunity and atherosclerotic lesions were evaluated. Furthermore, the apoE−/−Fas−/− mice were transplanted with MSCs and lupus-like autoimmunity and atherosclerotic lesions were assessed. Results MDSCs in peripheral blood, spleen, draining lymph nodes increased in apoE−/−Fas−/− mice compared with B6 mice. Moreover, the adoptive transfer of MDSCs aggravated both atherosclerosis and SLE pathologies, whereas depleting MDSCs ameliorated those pathologies in apoE−/−Fas−/− mice. MSC transplantation in apoE−/−Fas−/− mice decreased the percentage of MDSCs, alleviated the typical atherosclerotic lesions, including atherosclerotic lesions in aortae and liver, and reduced serum cholesterol, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein levels. MSC transplantation also reduced SLE pathologies, including splenomegaly, glomerular lesions, anti-dsDNA antibody in serum, urine protein and serum creatinine. Moreover, MSC transplantation regulated the generation and function of MDSCs through secreting prostaglandin E 2 (PGE2). Conclusion Taken together, these results indicated that the increased MDSCs contributed to atherosclerosis in SLE. MSC transplantation ameliorated the atherosclerosis and SLE through reducing MDSCs by secreting PGE2. Graphical Abstract ![]()

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a serious microvascular complication of diabetes. Currently, the prevalence and mortality of DKD are increasing annually. However, with no effective drugs to prevent its occurrence and development, the primary therapeutic option is to control blood sugar and blood pressure. Therefore, new and effective drugs/methods are imperative to prevent the development of DKD in patients with diabetes. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with multi-differentiation potential and paracrine function have received extensive attention as a new treatment option for DKD. However, their role and mechanism in the treatment of DKD remain unclear, and clinical applications are still being explored. Given this, we here provide an unbiased review of recent advances in MSCs for the treatment of DKD in the last decade from the perspectives of the pathogenesis of DKD, biological characteristics of MSCs, and different molecular and signaling pathways. Furthermore, we summarize information on combination therapy strategies using MSCs. Finally, we discuss the challenges and prospects for clinical application.

Abstract
Exosomes (exo) derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are known to promote cell growth through delivering multiple kinds of bioactive molecule including microRNAs (miR-NAs). This study aimed to explore the mechanism underlying miR-204 secreted by exo interacting oxidative
damage of cardiac stem cell (CSCs). Exosomes were extracted from BMSCs (BMSC-exo) and characterized by immunofluorescence and electron microscope, while BMSC-exo were internalized by CSCs. ARS and ALP staining confirmed the mineralization of BMSCs and osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation
of BMSCs. Then BMSCs were cultured in ordinary culture medium (OM) and normal medium. RT-qPCR identified miR-204 level in BMSCs disposed by OM was about five times as that of controls. miR-204 was up-regulated in the osteogenic differentiation of CSCs. Functional experiment revealed up-regulation
of miR-204 inhibited the BMSC adipogenic differentiation with decreased ROS and MDA expression and elevated SOD level in the CSCs. Treatment with BMSC-exos or miR-204 up-regulation alleviated oxidative damage of CSCs. Collectively, miR-204 attenuates the oxidative damage of CSCs through regulating
BMSC adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
End-stage liver disease (ESLD) is characterized by the deterioration of liver function and a subsequent high mortality rate. Studies have investigated the use of adult stem cells to treat ESLD. Here, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine the efficacy of a combination therapy with adult stem cell transplantation and traditional medicine for treating ESLD. Four databases-including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library-were investigated for studies published before January 31, 2021. The main outcome indicators were liver function index, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scores, and Child‒Turcotte‒Pugh (CTP) scores. Altogether, 1604 articles were retrieved, of which eight met the eligibility criteria; these studies included data for 579 patients with ESLD. Combination of adult stem cell transplantation with conventional medicine significantly improved its efficacy with respect to liver function index, CTP and MELD scores, but this effect gradually decreased over time. Moreover, a single injection of stem cells was more effective than two injections with respect to MELD and CTP scores and total bilirubin (TBIL) and albumin (ALB) levels, with no significant difference in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels. With respect to the TBIL levels, patients receiving mononuclear cells (MNCs) experienced a significantly greater therapeutic effect-starting from twenty-four weeks after the treatment-whereas with respect to ALB levels, CD34+ autologous peripheral blood stem cells (CD34+ APBSCs) and MNCs had similar therapeutic effects. Severe complications associated with adult stem cell treatment were not observed. Although the benefits of combination therapy with respect to improving liver function were slightly better than those of the traditional treatment alone, they gradually decreased over time.Systematic review registration: PROSPERO registration number: CRD42021238576.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy in acetaminophen-induced liver injury has been investigated in animal experiments, but individual studies with a small sample size cannot be used to draw a clear conclusion. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of preclinical studies to explore the potential of using MSCs in acetaminophen-induced liver injury. METHODS Eight databases were searched for studies reporting the effects of MSCs on acetaminophen hepatoxicity. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used. SYRCLE's risk of bias tool for animal studies was applied to assess the methodological quality. A meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.4 and STATA/SE 16.0 software. RESULTS Eleven studies involving 159 animals were included according to PRISMA statement guidelines. Significant associations were found for MSCs with the levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) (standardized mean difference (SMD) - 2.58, p < 0.0001), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (SMD - 1.75, p = 0.001), glutathione (GSH) (SMD 3.7, p < 0.0001), superoxide dismutase (SOD) (SMD 1.86, p = 0.022), interleukin 10 (IL-10) (SMD 5.14, p = 0.0002) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (SMD - 4.48, p = 0.011) compared with those in the control group. The subgroup analysis showed that the tissue source of MSCs significantly affected the therapeutic efficacy (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis results demonstrate that MSCs could be a potential treatment for acetaminophen-related liver injury.

[PMID: 33099018 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2020.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2020] [Revised: 09/07/2020] [Accepted: 10/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Malformations of the maxillofacial region has disturbing psychosocial effects and causes enormous socioeconomic concerns. The management of maxillofacial defects caused by congenital anomalies, trauma, osteoporotic fractures, periodontitis, or cancer treatment is challenging for oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Numerous approaches have been recommended for the managing of these deficiencies. The traditional treatment for maxillofacial defects or their repair is an intricate process by autologous bone grafts from the scapula, ribs, fibula, or iliac crest origins. Regenerative medicine is well thought-out as a perfect substitute approach for autologous bone grafts to renovate bone deficiencies. The use of stem cells has improved results and offered a technique to reconstruct craniofacial bone defects. The field of tissue engineering for the regeneration of maxillofacial needs integration of biochemical and biomaterial engineering aspects with cell transplantation to generate better-quality biomimetic scaffolds, prevascularize three-dimensional (3D) tissue structures, and engineer the composite interface of diverse facial tissues. In this review, we have discussed the application of different adult stem cells to repair oral and maxillofacial defects in animal models and clinical trials.

Abstract
Although anthracycline (ANT)-based treatment strongly contributes to cancer survivorship, the use of these agents is limited by the risk of cardiotoxicity. For those patients who evolve to heart failure, myocardial regenerative approaches are of particular interest, and a growing body of preclinical studies has been investigating the use of cell therapy for ANT-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC). However, since animal models and modalities of cell therapy are highly heterogeneous between studies, the efficacy of cell therapy for AIC is not clear. Thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of experimental studies reporting the use of cell therapy with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) or bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC) in animal models of AIC with regard to global cardiac function. The Medline, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to November 2019. Two reviewers independently extracted data on study quality and the results of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractional shortening (FS) obtained by echocardiography. The quality of outcomes was assessed using the Cochrane, Collaborative Approach to Meta-Analysis and Review of Animal Data from Experimental Studies (CAMARADES), and SYRCLE bias risk tools. Pooled random-effects modeling was used to calculate pooled mean differences (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Twenty-two studies comprising 381 small animals (rabbits and rodents) were included. A pooled meta-analysis of all treatments showed that cell therapy increased LVEF by 9.87% (95% CI 7.25-12.50, P < 0.00001) and FS by 7.80% (95% CI 5.68-9.92, P < 0.00001) in small animals with AIC. Cell therapy with MSC/BMMNC is effective to mitigate the deleterious effects of ANT on cardiac function in preclinical models. Nevertheless, due to the small number of studies and considerable heterogeneity, future translational studies must be designed to diminish between-study discrepancies and increase similarity to the clinical landscape.

Abstract
As the largest organ of the body, human skin is multifunctional and enjoys two layers, the epidermis and the dermis, the separation of which is performed by a basement membrane zone. Skin protects the body against mechanical forces and infections. Skin wounds represent large and growing challenges to the healthcare systems globally. Skin wound healing, as a protective shield for the body against the external environment, includes interactions among cell types, the neurovascular system, cytokines, and matrix remodeling. Growth factors (GFs) affect the microenvironment of the wound, and cause rises in cell differentiation, proliferation, and migration. Administrating exogenous GFs has revealed potential in enhancing wound healing outcomes. The use of human GFs in the field of wound healing is becoming gradually more interesting, because of the low-invasive techniques required for their use. Reviewed here are the literatures on the healing of skin wounds with emphasize on the role of GFs and their future prospects, containing profits, and probable long-standing side effects accompanied with their use.

Abstract
The mammalian hearts have the least regenerative capabilities among tissues and organs. As such, heart regeneration has been and continues to be the ultimate goal in the treatment against acquired and congenital heart diseases. Uncovering such a long-awaited therapy is still extremely challenging in the current settings. On the other hand, this desperate need for effective heart regeneration has developed various forms of modern biotechnologies in recent years. These involve the transplantation of pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac progenitors or cardiomyocytes generated in vitro and novel biochemical molecules along with tissue engineering platforms. Such newly generated technologies and approaches have been shown to effectively proliferate cardiomyocytes and promote heart repair in the diseased settings, albeit mainly preclinically. These novel tools and medicines give somehow credence to breaking down the barriers associated with re-building heart muscle. However, in order to maximize efficacy and achieve better clinical outcomes through these cell-based and/or cell-free therapies, it is crucial to understand more deeply the developmental cellular hierarchies/paths and molecular mechanisms in normal or pathological cardiogenesis. Indeed, the morphogenetic process of mammalian cardiac development is highly complex and spatiotemporally regulated by various types of cardiac progenitors and their paracrine mediators. Here we discuss the most recent knowledge and findings in cardiac progenitor cell biology and the major cardiogenic paracrine mediators in the settings of cardiogenesis, congenital heart disease, and heart regeneration.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) as a dementia and neurodegenerative disease, is mostly prevalent among people more than 65 years. AD is mostly manifested in the form of degraded mental function, such as losing memory and impaired cognitive function. Due to inefficiency of traditional pharmacological therapeutic approaches with no long-term cure, cell therapy can be considered as a capable approach in AD management. Therapies based on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have provided hopeful results in experimental models regarding several disorders. MSCs enhance the levels of functional recoveries in pathologic experimental models of central nervous system (CNS) and are being investigated in clinical trials in neurological disorders. However, there is limited knowledge on the protective capabilities of MSCs in AD management. Almost, several experiments have suggested positive effects of MSCs and helped to better understand of AD-related dementia mechanism. MSCs have the potential to be used in AD treatment through amyloid-β peptide (AB), Tau protein and cholinergic system. This review aimed to clarify the promising perspective of MSCs in the context of AD.
