Exosomes Secreted During Myogenic Differentiation of Human Fetal Cartilage-Derived Progenitor Cells Promote Skeletal Muscle Regeneration through miR-145-5p. Tissue Eng Regen Med 2024; 21:487-497. [PMID: 38294592 PMCID: PMC10987463 DOI: 10.1007/s13770-023-00618-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, there is no apparent treatment for sarcopenia, which is characterized by diminished myoblast function. We aimed to manufacture exosomes that retain the myogenic differentiation capacity of human fetal cartilage-derived progenitor cells (hFCPCs) and investigate their muscle regenerative efficacy in myoblasts and a sarcopenia rat model. METHODS The muscle regeneration potential of exosomes (F-Exo) secreted during myogenic differentiation of hFCPCs was compared to human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-derived (hBMSCs) exosomes (B-Exo) in myoblasts and sarcopenia rat model. The effect of F-Exo was analyzed through known microRNAs (miRNAs) analysis. The mechanism of action of F-Exo was confirmed by measuring the expression of proteins involved in the Wnt signaling pathway. RESULTS F-Exo and B-Exo showed similar exosome characteristics. However, F-Exo induced the expression of muscle markers (MyoD, MyoG, and MyHC) and myotube formation in myoblasts more effectively than B-Exo. Moreover, F-Exo induced greater increases in muscle fiber cross-sectional area and muscle mass compared to B-Exo in a sarcopenia rat. The miR-145-5p, relevant to muscle regeneration, was found in high concentrations in the F-Exo, and RNase pretreatment reduced the efficacy of exosomes. The effects of F-Exo on the expression of myogenic markers in myoblasts were paralleled by the miR-145-5p mimics, while the inhibitor partially negated this effect. F-Exo was involved in the Wnt signaling pathway by enhancing the expression of Wnt5a and β-catenin. CONCLUSION F-Exo improved muscle regeneration by activating the Wnt signaling pathway via abundant miR-145-5p, mimicking the remarkable myogenic differentiation potential of hFCPCs.

Selective Extracellular Matrix Guided Mesenchymal Stem Cell Self-Aggregate Engineering for Replication of Meniscal Zonal Tissue Gradient in a Porcine Meniscectomy Model. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2301180. [PMID: 37463568 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202301180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/20/2023]
Abstract
Degenerative meniscus tears (DMTs) are prevalent findings in osteoarthritic knees, yet current treatment is mostly limited to arthroscopic partial meniscectomy rather than regeneration, which further exacerbates arthritic changes. Translational research regarding meniscus regeneration is hindered by the complex, composite nature of the meniscus which exhibit a gradient from inner cartilage-like tissue to outer fibrous tissue, as well as engineering hurdles often requiring growth factors and cross-linking agents. Here, a meniscus zonal tissue gradient is proposed using zone-specific decellularized meniscus extracellular matrix (DMECM) and autologous synovial mesenchymal stem cells (SMSC) via self-aggregation without the use of growth factors or cross-linking agents. Combination with zone-specific DMECM during self-aggregation of MSCs forms zone-specific meniscus tissue that reflects the respective DMECM harvest site. The implantation of these constructs leads to the regeneration of meniscus tissue resembling the native meniscus, demonstrating inner cartilaginous and outer fibrous characteristics as well as recovery of native meniscal microarchitecture in a porcine partial meniscectomy model at 6 months. In all, the findings offer a potential regenerative therapy for DMTs that may improve current partial meniscectomy-based patient care.

A Worldwide Analysis of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells and Stromal Vascular Fraction in Orthopedics: Current Evidence and Applications. J Clin Med 2023; 12:4719.

Abstract
The biological enhancement of tissue regeneration and healing is an appealing perspective in orthopedics. We aimed to conduct a systematic review to describe the global distribution of studies investigating the use of adipose tissue derivates in orthopedics and to provide information on their quality and on the products available. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the modified Coleman Methodology Score (mCMS) and the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials. Eighty-two studies were included, with a total of 3594 patients treated. In total, 70% of the studies investigated the treatment of knee disorders, predominantly osteoarthritis; 26% of all studies dealt with expanded adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (ADSCs), 72% of which had stromal vascular fraction (SVF); 70% described the injection of adipose tissue derivates into the affected site; and 24% described arthroscopies with the addition of adipose tissue derivates. The mean mCMS for all studies was 51.7 ± 21.4 points, with a significantly higher score for the studies dealing with expanded ADSCs compared to those dealing with SVF (p = 0.0027). Our analysis shows high heterogeneity in terms of the types of performed procedures as well as the choice and processing of adipose tissue derivates.

Efficacy of Arthroscopic Shavers for the Retrieval and Processing of Connective Tissue Progenitor Cells from Subacromial Bursal Tissue. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11051272. [PMID: 35268363 PMCID: PMC8911141 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11051272] [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: 12/08/2021] [Revised: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine if arthroscopic shavers can effectively collect and process connective tissue progenitor (CTP) cells from subacromial bursal tissue for utilization in rotator cuff repair augmentation. Subacromial bursal tissue was collected and processed using two arthroscopic shavers, Shaver A and Shaver B, in 10 patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Each shaver was used in a random order for the same patient. Tissue samples underwent testing for cellular proliferation, cellular concentration, number of colony-forming units (CFU), live/dead assay, fluorescence-activated cells sorting (FACS) analysis, cytokine analysis, and growth factor analysis. Shaver A produced more CFUs compared to Shaver B (210.3 vs. 125.9; p < 0.001). At 3 weeks, cells collected via Shaver A had greater cellular proliferation (0.35 vs. 0.51; p < 0.001) as well as more viable cells (214,773 vs. 132,356 cells/gram; p < 0.001). Tissue collected with Shaver B had greater amounts of the cytokines MMP-1 (3741 vs. 5500 pg/mL; p < 0.001), MMP-3 (1131 vs. 1871 pg/mL; p < 0.001), and MMP-13 (179 vs. 401 pg/mL; p < 0.001), while those collected with Shaver A had greater vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (47.8 vs. 9.0 pg/mL; p < 0.05). Arthroscopic shavers are capable of harvesting and processing CTP cells from subacromial bursal tissue. Different shavers may produce different yields of viable CTP cells.

Abstract
Point-of-care harvest and application of residence stem cells are practical and cost-effective. Tissue formerly considered waste contains these biologically potent cells, and use of such tissue may represent a big part of biologics going forward. The practical application of orthobiologics has slowed because of 3 hurdles: the regulatory requirements of stem cell technologies; the energy, time, and money required to develop a clinical evidence base; and the expense that they present to patients and institutions. Orthobiologic technologies that are simple and cheap and that leverage tissues that are already readily available at the point of care (i.e., the surgical procedure) solve many of these challenges. Cell sources could include knee synovium, shoulder subacromial bursa, bone marrow aspirate, and anterior cruciate ligament injury effusion fluid and stump tissue. A current concern is that collagenase processing and culture expansion are steps resulting in regulatory hurdles in the United States.
