Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) represent a heterogeneous cell population distributed throughout various tissues, demonstrating remarkable adaptability to microenvironmental cues and holding immense promise for disease treatment. However, the inherent diversity within MSCs often leads to variability in therapeutic outcomes, posing challenges for clinical applications. To address this heterogeneity, purification of MSC subpopulations through marker-based isolation has emerged as a promising approach to ensure consistent therapeutic efficacy. In this review, we discussed the reported markers of MSCs, encompassing those developed through candidate marker strategies and high-throughput approaches, with the aim of explore viable strategies for addressing the heterogeneity of MSCs and illuminate prospective research directions in this field.

Near-infrared light responsive gold nanoparticles coating endows polyetheretherketone with enhanced osseointegration and antibacterial properties. Mater Today Bio 2024; 25:100982. [PMID: 38371468 PMCID: PMC10869918 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.100982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is considered as a promising dental implant material owing to its excellent physicochemical and mechanical properties. However, its wide range of applications is limited by its biologically inert nature. In this study, a near-infrared (NIR) light responsive bioactive coating with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and metronidazole adhered to the PEEK surface via dopamine polymerization. Compared to pure PEEK, the hydrophilicity of the treated PEEK surface was significantly improved. In addition, under NIR light, the surface coating exhibited photothermal conversion effect, and gold nanoparticles and the antibiotic can be released from the coating. This improved the antibacterial properties of PEEK materials. Moreover, the coating was more conducive to the early adhesion of bone mesenchymal stem cells. The results of in vitro and in vivo osteogenic activity studies showed that the developed coating promoted osseointegration of PEEK implants, and NIR light irradiation further improved the antibacterial ability and osteogenic activity of PEEK implants. Through RNA sequencing, the potential underlying mechanism of promoting bone formation of the AuNPs coating combined metronidazole was interpreted. In summary, the developed coating is a potential surface treatment strategy that endows PEEK with enhanced osseointegration and antibacterial properties.

[PMID: 38046983 PMCID: PMC10693249 DOI: 10.2147/copd.s428984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective It has been observed that local and systemic disorders of lipid metabolism occur during the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but no specific mechanism has yet been identified. Methods The mRNA microarray dataset GSE76925 of COPD patients was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and screened for differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Lipid metabolism-related genes (LMRGs) were extracted from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database and Molecular Signature Database. The DEGs were intersected with LMRGs to obtain differentially expressed lipid metabolism-related genes (DeLMRGs). GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway analysis were performed on DeLMRGs, and protein-protein interaction networks were constructed and screened to identify hub genes. The GSE8581 validation set and further ELISA experiments were used to validate key DeLMRG expression. Results Differential analysis of dataset GSE76925 identified 587 DEGs, of which 62 genes were up-regulated and 525 were down-regulated. Taking the intersection of 587 DEGs with 1102 LMRGs, 20 DeLMRGs were obtained, including 1 up-regulated gene and 19 down-regulated genes. 10 hub genes were screened by cytohubba plugin, including 9 down-regulated genes PLA2G4A, HPGDS, LEP, PTGES3, LEPR, PLA2G2D, MED21, SPTLC1 and BCHE, as well as the only up-regulated gene PLA2G7. Validation of the identified 10 DeLMRGs using the validation set GSE8581 revealed that BCHE and PLA2G7 expression levels differed between the two groups. We further constructed the ceRNA network of BCHE and PLA2G7. Cell experiments also showed that PLA2G7 expression was up-regulated and BCHE expression was down-regulated in CSE-treated RAW264.7 and THP-1 cells. Conclusion Based on a comprehensive bioinformatic analysis of lipid metabolism genes, we identified BCHE and PLA2G7 as potentially significant biomarkers of COPD. These biomarkers may represent promising targets for COPD diagnosis and treatment.
