Abstract
Osteogenesis is a complex process of bone formation regulated by various factors, yet its underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. The present study aimed to investigate the role of S100A16, a novel member of the S100 protein family, in the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and uncover a novel Smad4-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling axis. In the present study, the expression level of S100A16 in bone tissues and BMSCs from ovariectomized rats was evaluated and then the impact of S100A16 silencing on osteogenic differentiation was examined. Increased S100A16 expression was observed in bone tissues and BMSCs from ovariectomized rats, and S100A16 silencing promoted osteogenic differentiation. Further transcriptomic sequencing revealed that the Smad4 pathway was involved in S100A16 silencing-induced osteogenesis. The results of western blot analysis revealed that S100A16 overexpression not only downregulated Smad4 but also activated MAPK/JNK signaling, which was validated by treatment with MAPK and JNK inhibitors U0126 and SP600125. Overall, in the present study, the novel regulatory factors influencing osteogenic differentiation were elucidated and mechanistic insights that could aid in the development of targeted therapeutic strategies for patients with osteoporosis were provided.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 257:128841. [PMID: 38104678 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128841] [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: 06/22/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species (RONS) in biological systems display hormetic effects, capable of either promoting cell regenerative effects or inducing cell death. Recently, hydrogels have emerged as a promising delivery platform for RONS generated from Cold Atmospheric Plasmas (CAP), known as Plasma-Treated Hydrogels (PTH). PTH have been proposed as an alternative therapy to conventional cancer treatments, offering reduced side effects through the controlled and localized delivery of plasma-derived RONS. In this work, we have developed alginate-based PTH with dual therapeutic action provided by plasma-derived RONS acting as selective anticancer agents for osteosarcoma treatment, and biomolecules (hyaluronic acid and gelatin) to promote stem cell-mediated bone regeneration. For this purpose, we designed a novel manufacturing process to maximize the load of plasma-derived RONS within the PTH. Then, we assessed the PTH bioactivity on osteosarcoma MG-63 cells, and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). The results showed that the PTH composed of 0.25 % alginate +1 % hyaluronic acid is the most promising formulation in osteosarcoma treatment, showing a dual-action bioactivity as a selective cytotoxic anticancer agent, and as promoter of the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. These findings provide strong evidence of the significant potential of PTH in the oncological field.

Abstract
Although stem cell transplantation is an effective strategy in the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), the mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects remain unclear. We hypothesized that stem cells target gut microbiota and intestinal mucosal immunity to promote therapeutic effects against T1DM. We investigated the effects of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) on intestinal microbiota and mucosal immunity in streptozotocin-induced T1DM mice. hAMSCs promoted significant reductions in blood glucose levels and increased the number of insulin-secreting cells in the T1DM model. Compared with T1DM model mice, 16S rRNA sequencing revealed significant differences in the composition, diversity, and abundance of microbiota in the ileum of hAMSC-treated mice. Bifidobacterium, Prevotella, and Alcaligenes species were among the 15 most abundant differential bacterial species. LC-MS revealed significant changes in ileal metabolites, and among the top 100 differential metabolites identified, we found that a significant increase in taurine was closely associated with hAMSC therapy. Additionally, we detected significant differences between the two groups with respect to the frequency and phenotype of CD4+ T cell subsets in mesenteric lymph nodes, and hAMSCs promoted significant increases in Th2 and Treg cell frequencies and reduced the frequencies of Th1 and Th17 cells. Moreover, correlation analysis revealed pairwise correlations between differential microflora and differential metabolites and immune signatures. hAMSCs thus have positive effects on the microbiota and their metabolites in the ileum and intestinal mucosal immunity in T1DM. Our findings indicate that gut microbiota and intestinal mucosal immunity may play vital roles in the hAMSC-based treatment of T1DM.

Abstract
Using stem cells is one of the most important determining factors in repairing lesions using regenerative medicine. Obtaining adult stem cells from patients is a perfect choice, but it is worth noting that their differentiation and proliferation potential decreases as the patient ages. For this reason, the use of amniotic fluid stem cells can be one of the excellent alternatives. This research aimed to investigate the osteogenic differentiation potential of the amniotic fluid stem cells while cultured on the polycaprolactone/poly L-lactic acid nanofibrous scaffold. Scaffolds were qualitatively evaluated by a scanning electron microscope, and their hydrophilicity and mechanical properties were studied using contact angle and tensile test, respectively. The biocompatibility and non-toxicity of the nanofibers were also evaluated using viability assay. The osteo-supportive capacity of the nanofibers was examined using alizarin red staining, alkaline phosphatase activity, and calcium release measurement. Finally, the expression level of four important bone-related genes was determined quantitatively. The results demonstrated that the mineralization rate, alkaline phosphatase activity, intracellular calcium, and bone-related genes increased significantly in the cells cultured on the polycaprolactone/poly L-lactic acid scaffold compared to the cells cultured on the tissue culture plate as a control. According to the results, it can be concluded that the polycaprolactone/poly L-lactic acid nanofibrous scaffold surprisingly improved the osteogenic differentiation potential of the amniotic fluid stem cells and, in combination with polycaprolactone/poly L-lactic acid nanofibers could be a promising candidate as bone implants.

Abstract
Bone regeneration is a multistep and regular physiological process that occurs normally in fracture repair and bone defects. However, some factors such as aging, particular diseases and some drugs prevent or slowdown bone natural healing. Cell therapy using stem cells and differentiation activating factors is an effective treatment method for bone regeneration triggering in unusual conditions. Therefore, in the present study the effect of phycocyanin and phycoerythrin pigments which isolated from Spirulina platensis and Gracilaria gracilis algae was investigate on osteogenic differentiation potency of human Amniotic Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hAMSCs). For this purpose, hAMSCs were exposed to 300, 500, and 700 µg/ml concentrations of phycocyanin and phycoerythrin pigments and then the cells viability was measured with MTT assay in 48 and 72 h after treatment. The osteo-differentiation level of cells was studied by measuring ALP activity using calorimetric method and Alizarin red staining for calcium deposition in 7 and 21 days after treatment. Also, total RNA of cells was extracted in different time periods and then cDNA synthesized with specific primers, and relative expression of Runx2, β-catenin and Osteocalcin genes were investigated using SYBR Green RT-qPCR technique. Osteogenic differentiation of hAMSCs that treated with pigments was confirmed by mineral deposits staining and increased level of ALP activity. Furthermore, these pigments elevated significantly the expression of osteogenic marker genes compared to control samples and caused hAMSCs to differentiate into osteoblast cells. According to these results, phycocyanin and phycoerythrin may suggest as suitable osteogenic supplements with low toxicity, low cost and high efficiency, although the molecular mechanism of its efficacy is not available yet.

Abstract
Augmentation rhinoplasty sometimes is required for patients with saddle nose deformity caused by failed rhinoplasty or facial trauma; finding appropriate grafting material remains a significant problem for this procedure. We investigated hyaluronic acid matrix as an allograft for dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty in a rabbit model. We performed an osteotomy on the nasal bones of eight rabbits. Four animals were sham operated as the control group and four were administered a mixture of saline-gelled hyaluronic acid matrix and sliced cartilage. Ultrasonography and three-dimensional reconstruction tomography were performed at the end of the experimental period. After sacrifice of the animals, nasal tissues were examined for histopathology, and both collagen scores and number of capillaries were compared between the two groups. Increased collagen and capillaries were apparent in the hyaluronic acid matrix group compared to controls. The median collagen score was significantly greater for the hyaluronic acid matrix group than for the control group. Although the number of capillaries for the hyaluronic acid matrix group was greater than for the control group, the difference was not statistically significant. Three weeks is sufficient for adhesion of ends of fractures in clinical practice; however, we found no ossification at this time in either group. A hyaluronic acid matrix may be a useful alternative supplement for dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty. Development of collagen was commensurate with membranous ossification; however, assessment of complete ossification requires a longer experimental period.

Abstract
The combination of hyaluronic acid (HA) and BMP-2 has been reported to promote bone regeneration. However, the interaction of endothelial cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) during HA + BMP-2 treatment is not fully understood. This study aimed to analyze the direct effect of HA, as well as the paracrine effect of HA-treated endothelial cells, on the BMP-2-mediated osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. The angiogenic differentiation potential of HA at different molecular weights and different concentrations was tested. The direct effect of HA, as well as the indirect effect of HA-treated human umbilical cord endothelial cells (HUVECs, i.e., conditioned medium (CM)-based co-culture) on the BMP-2-mediated osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs was analyzed using alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and activity, alizarin red S (ARS) staining, and RT-qPCR of osteogenic markers. Angiogenic differentiation markers were also analyzed in HUVECs after treatment with HA + BMP-2. The bone regeneration potential of BMP-2 and HA + BMP-2 was analyzed in a rat ectopic model. We found that 1600 kDa HA at 300 µg/mL promoted tube formation by HUVECs in vitro and upregulated the mRNA expression of the angiogenic markers CD31, VEGF, and bFGF. HA inhibited, but conditioned medium from HA-treated HUVECs promoted, the BMP-2-mediated osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, as indicated by the results of ALP staining and activity, ARS staining, and the mRNA expression of the osteogenic markers RUNX-2, ALP, COLI, and OPN. HA + BMP-2 (50 ng/mL) upregulated the expression of the angiogenesis-related genes VEGF and bFGF in HUVECs and bone regeneration in vivo compared to BMP-2 treatment. In conclusion, the paracrine effect of hyaluronic acid-treated endothelial cells promotes BMP-2-mediated osteogenesis, suggesting the application potential of HA + BMP-2 in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Macromolecular crowding (MMC) enhances and accelerates extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in eukaryotic cell culture. Single hyaluronic acid (HA) molecules have not induced a notable increase in the amount and rate of deposited ECM. Thus, herein we assessed the physicochemical properties and biological consequences in equine bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell cultures of single and mixed HA molecules and correlated them to the most widely used MMC agents, the FicollⓇ cocktail (FC) and carrageenan (CR). Dynamic light scattering analysis revealed that all HA cocktails had significantly higher hydrodynamic radius than the FC and CR; the FC and the 0.5 mg/ml 100 kDa and 500 kDa single HA molecules had the highest charge; and, in general, all molecules had high polydispersity index. Biological analyses revealed that none of the MMC agents affected cell morphology and basic cell functions; in general, CR outperformed all other macromolecules in collagen type I and V deposition; FC, the individual HA molecules and the HA cocktails outperformed CR in collagen type III deposition; FC outperformed CR and the individual HA molecules and the HA cocktails outperformed their constituent HA molecules in collagen type IV deposition; FC and certain HA cocktails outperformed CR and constituent HA molecules in collagen type VI deposition; and all individual HA molecules outperformed FC and CR and the HA cocktails outperformed their constituent HA molecules in laminin deposition. With respect to tri-lineage analysis, CR and HA enhanced chondrogenesis and osteogenesis, whilst FC enhanced adipogenesis. This work opens new avenues in mixed MMC in eukaryotic cell culture. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Mixed macromolecular crowding (MMC) in eukaryotic cell culture is still under-investigated. Herein, single and double hyaluronic acid (HA) macromolecules, along with the traditional MMC agents FicollⓇ cocktail (FC) and carrageenan (CR), were used as MMC agents in equine mesenchymal stromal cell cultures. Biological analysis showed that none of the MMC agents affected cell morphology and basic cell functions. Protein deposition analysis made apparent that CR outperformed all other macromolecules in collagen type I and collagen type V deposition, whilst FC, the individual HA macromolecules and the HA cocktails outperformed CR in collagen type III deposition. Tri-lineage analysis revealed that CR and HA enhanced chondrogenesis and osteogenesis, whilst FC enhanced adipogenesis. These data illustrate that MMC agents are not inert macromolecules.

Abstract
Regeneration of periodontal tissues requires an integrated approach to the restoration of the periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone surrounding the teeth. Current strategies in endogenous regenerative dentistry widely use biomaterials, in particular the decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM), to facilitate the recruitment of populations of resident cells into damaged tissues and stimulate their proliferation and differentiation. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effect of the exogenous components of the extracellular matrix (hyaluronic acid, laminin, fibronectin) on the differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) cultured with dECM (combinations of decellularized tooth matrices and periodontal ligament) in a 3D collagen I hydrogel. The immunohistochemical expression of various markers in PDLSCs was assessed quantitatively and semi-quantitatively on paraffin sections. The results showed that PDLSCs cultured under these conditions for 14 days exhibited phenotypic characteristics consistent with osteoblast-like and odontoblast-like cells. This potential has been demonstrated by the expression of osteogenic differentiation markers (OC, OPN, ALP) and odontogenic markers (DSPP). This phenomenon corresponds to the in vivo state of the periodontal ligament, in which cells at the interface between bone and cementum tend to differentiate into osteoblasts or cementoblasts. The addition of fibronectin to the dECM most effectively induces the differentiation of PDLSCs into osteoblast-like and odontoblast-like cells under 3D culture conditions. Therefore, this bioengineered construct has a high potential for future use in periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
In recent years, the development of hyaluronic acid or hyaluronan (HA) based scaffolds, medical devices, bioconjugate systems have expanded into a broad range of research and clinical applications. Research findings over the last two decades suggest that the abundance of HA in most mammalian tissues with distinctive biological roles and chemical simplicity for modifications have made it an attractive material with a rapidly growing global market. Besides its use as native forms, HA has received much interest on so-called "HA-bioconjugates" and "modified-HA systems". In this review, the importance of chemical modifications of HA, underlying rationale approaches, and various advancements of bioconjugate derivatives with their potential physicochemical, and pharmacological advantages are summarized. This review also highlights the current and emerging HA-based conjugates of small molecules, macromolecules, crosslinked systems, and surface coating strategies with their biological implications, including their potentials and key challenges discussed in detail.

Abstract
A wide variety of cues from the extracellular matrix (ECM) have been known to affect the differentiation of stem cells in vivo. In particular, the biophysical cues and cell shape have been known to affect the stem cell function, yet very little is known about the interplay between how these cues control differentiation. For the first time, by using photolithography to pattern poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), patterns of square and triangular geometries were created, and the effect of these structures and the biophysical cues arising were utilized to differentiate cells into multiple lineages inside a same pattern without the use of any adhered protein or growth factors. The data from these studies showed that the cells present at the edges were well elongated, exhibit high aspect ratios, and differentiated into osteogenic lineage, whereas the cells present at the center exhibit lower aspect ratio and were primarily adipogenic lineage regardless of the geometry. This was correlated to the higher expression of focal adhesion proteins at the edges, the expression of which have been known to affect the osteogenic differentiation. By showing MSC lineage commitment relationships due to physical signals, this study highlights the importance of these cues and cell shape in further understanding stem cell behavior for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Stem cell engraftment is currently a promising approach for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) treatment. In our previous study, engraftment of a combination of human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) and hyaluronic acid (HA) showed potent anti-diabetic effect in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced T1DM mice via tail vein injection. Here, we adopted a different route of stem cell delivery, that is via pancreatic subcapsular transplantation. This combined local engraftment of hAECs and HA in STZ-induced T1DM rats showed potent anti-diabetic activity, leading to stronger hypoglycaemia, more intact islet structure and increased number of insulin-positive cells compared with those with hAECs or insulin treatments. Engraftment of hAECs alone increased the proportion of Th1 and T-reg cells and decreased the proportion of Th2 and Th17 cells to protect islet β cells in STZ-induced T1DM rats, whereas the combined engraftment of hAECs and HA showed more potent regulatory capacity, considerably decreased the level of TNF-α and IL-17 and increased the level of TGF-β1 compared with those by other treatments. The potent synergistic effect of HA contributed to the recovery of immune balance in the diabetic rat model, thereby suggesting a new strategy for effective treatment of T1DM.

Abstract
Bone defects caused by trauma or tumor are a significant challenge in clinical practice. Hydrogel-based tissue engineering has been considered an effective strategy. This study successfully formed a series of injectable hydrogels by enzyme-catalyzed crosslinking hyaluronic acid-tyramine (HA-TA) and sodium alginate-tyramine (ALG-TA) under physiological conditions in the presence of both horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide. The morphology, mechanical properties, swelling properties, and biodegradation properties of hydrogels were investigated. The results showed that the mechanical properties, swelling properties and biodegradation of HA/ALG hydrogels varied with the precursor solution concentration. Furthermore, the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs within the HA/ALG hydrogels were evaluated in vitro. The results illustrated that the hydrogels could offer an excellent microenvironment for BMSCs growth and promote osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, the injectable hydrogels can be used as an effective 3 D scaffold for bone repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common disease characterized by skeletal fragility and microarchitectural deterioration. However, existing conventional drugs exhibit limited efficacy and can elicit severe adverse effects; moreover, and novel stem cell-based therapies have not exhibited sufficient therapeutic efficacy. Our hypothesis is that an appropriate osteogenic inducer may improve their therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we found that bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) stimulates the differentiation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) into osteoblasts without inducing cytotoxicity. Here BDMC enhances calcium deposition in hAMSCs, while promoting the expression of early and late markers of osteoblast differentiation, including ALP, runt-related transcription factor 2, osterix, COL1-α1, osteocalcin, and osteopontin at the transcriptional and translational levels. Mechanistically, BDMC was found to activate the JAK2/STAT3 pathway; whereas AG490 (JAK2/STAT3 pathway inhibitor) inhibited BDMC functioning. Subsequently, we found that the combinatorial therapy of BDMC and hAMSC had a positive synergistic effect on osteoporotic mouse model induced by bilateral ovariectomy, including inhibiting bone loss and bone resorption and improving bone micro-architecture. Moreover, BDMC inhibited production of the bone resorption markers C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, and tartrate resistant acid phosphatase, while promoting serum levels of bone formation markers OCN, and procollagen I N-terminal propeptide. BDMC also improved liver and kidney function in osteoporotic mouse model. Collectively, BDMC improved osteoporosis by enhancing hAMSC osteogenesis and exhibited a protective effect on liver and kidney function in an osteoporotic mouse model. Hence, BDMC may serve as an effective adjuvant, and combined therapy with hAMSCs is a promising new approach toward osteoporosis treatment.

Bone morphogenetic protein 9 enhances osteogenic and angiogenic responses of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells cocultured with umbilical vein endothelial cells through the PI3K/AKT/m-TOR signaling pathway. Aging (Albany NY) 2021; 13:24829-24849.

Abstract
Background: Neovascularization plays an essential part in bone fracture and defect healing, constructing tissue engineered bone that targets bone regeneration. Bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9) is a regular indicator that potentiates osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation of MSCs. Objectives: To investigate the effects of BMP9 on osteogenesis and angiogenesis of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) cocultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and determine the possible underlying molecular mechanism. Results: The isolated hAMSCs expressed surface markers of MSCs. hAMSCs cocultured with HUVECs enhance osteogenic differentiation and upregulate the expression of angiogenic factors. BMP9 not only potentiates angiogenic signaling of hAMSCs cocultured with HUVECs also increases ectopic bone formation and subcutaneous vessel invasion. Mechanically, the coupling effect between osteogenesis and angiogenesis induced by BMP9 was activated by the BMP/Smad and PI3K/AKT/m-TOR signaling pathways. Conclusions: BMP9-enhanced osteoblastic and angiogenic differentiation in cocultivation with hAMSCs and HUVECs in vitro and in vivo also provide a chance to harness the BMP9-regulated coordinated effect between osteogenic and angiogenic pathways through BMP/Smad and PI3K/AKT/m-TOR signalings. Materials and Methods: The ALP and Alizarin Red S staining assay to determine the effects of osteoblastic differentiation. RT-qPCR and western blot was measured the expression of angiogenesis-related factors. Ectopic bone formation was established and retrieved bony masses were subjected to histochemical staining. The angiogenesis ability and vessel invasion were subsequently determined by immunofluorescence staining. Molecular mechanisms such as the BMP/Smad and PI3K/AKT/m-TOR signaling pathways were detected by ELISA and western blot analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Three- dimensional (3D) technology has been suggested to overcome these limitations in guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedures because 3D-printed scaffolds can be easily molded to patient-specific bone defect site. This study aimed to investigate the effect of 3-D printed polylactic acid (PLA) scaffolds with or without hyaluronic acid (HA) in a rabbit calvaria model. METHODS A calvaria defect with a diameter of 15 mm was created in 30 New Zealand white rabbits. The rabbits were randomly allocated into 3 groups including no graft group (control, n = 10) , 3D printed PLA graft group (3D-PLA, n = 10) , and 3D printed PLA with hyaluronic acid graft group (3D-PLA/HA, n = 10) . Five animals in each group were sacrificed at 4 and 12 weeks after surgery. Microcomputed tomography and histologic and histomorphometric analyses were performed. RESULTS Over the whole examination period, no significant adverse reactions were observed. There were no statistically significant differences in bone volume (BV) /tissue volume (TV) among the three groups at 4 weeks. However, the highest BV/TV was observed in the 3D-PLA/HA group at 12 weeks. The new bone area for control, 3D-PLA, and 3D-PLA/HA showed no statistical differences at 4 weeks. However, the value was significantly higher in the 3D-PLA and 3D-PLA/HA groups compared to the control group at 12 weeks. CONCLUSION The 3D printed PLA scaffolds was biocompatible and integrated well with bone defect margin. They were also provided the proper space for new bone formation. Therefore, 3D printed PLA/HA might be a potential tool to enhance bone augmentation. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
The absence of blood vessels in tissue engineered bone often leads to necrosis of internal cells after implantation, ultimately affecting the process of bone repair. Herein, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cocultured to induce osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Based on the findings, the number of HUVECs in the coculture system increased in the growth medium group, but decreased in the osteogenic induction medium (OIM) group. Considering that the paracrine effects of MSCs had changed, we tested the genes expression of osteogenically differentiated MSCs. The expression of osteogenic genes in MSCs increased during osteogenesis. Further, the expression levels of pigment epithelial-derived factor (PEDF) gene and protein, an antivascular factor, were also increased. To verify whether MSCs promote HUVECs apoptosis via PEDF, PEDF was silenced via siRNA. The conditioned medium of differentiated MSCs with PEDF silencing significantly improved the proliferation and apoptosis of HUVECs. Based on further experiments, PEDF mediated the apoptosis and proliferation of HUVECs through p53, BAX/BCL-2, FAS, and c-Caspase-3. However, when PEDF was silenced with siRNA, the osteogenic potential of MSCs was affected. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for the construction of prevascularized bone tissues in vitro.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Mesenchymal stromal cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) are a promising treatment for bone injuries, although studies remain preclinical. A systematic review and meta-analysis can assess the efficacy of MSC-EVs and identify treatment aspects associated with enhanced bone repair. METHODS English language, preclinical, controlled, in vivo studies identified in our systematic search (up to May 8, 2020) examining the use of MSC-EVs in bone healing were included. Risk of bias (ROB) was assessed using the SYRCLE tool. Aggregate Data Meta-Analysis was performed to determine the effect of MSC-EVs on Bone Volume/Total Volume (BV/TV) and New Bone Formation (NBF). RESULTS Thirteen studies were included. Twelve reported either BV/TV or NBF and were included in meta-analysis. ROB was unclear in all studies. Overall, MSC-EVs displayed benefit in terms of bone healing for both BV/TV (22.2% mean difference (MD); 95% CI: 15.8-28.5%, p < 0.001) and NBF (26.1% MD; 10.3-41.8%, p = 0.001) versus controls. Substantial heterogeneity, however, was observed between studies. MSC-EVs were reported to activate multiple signaling pathways including mTOR/AKT, AMPK and BMP2. Subgroup analysis indicated no significant difference in the improvement of BV/TV when using modified EVs isolated after gene transfection, preconditioning (p = 0.61), or using EVs in combination with a tissue scaffold and/or hydrogel versus other delivery methods (p = 0.20). CONCLUSION Use of MSC-EVs to promote healing of bone injury appears promising, however, heterogeneity between studies and the potential for reporting bias limits confidence in the extent of benefit. Reducing bias between studies and addressing aspects of potential reporting bias should augment confidence in future meta-analyses and propel the field towards clinical studies. Forest Plot analysis assessing the percentage change in bone volume (BV) / total volume (TV) in the presence (experimental) or absence (control) of MSC-EVs.

Nejad AR, Hamidieh AA, Amirkhani MA, Sisakht MM. Update review on five top clinical applications of human amniotic membrane in regenerative medicine. Placenta 2020; 103:104-119. [PMID: 33120046 DOI: 10.1016/j.placenta.2020.10.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2020] [Revised: 10/18/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Due to the increasing number of studies performed in the field of regenerative medicine during the last two decades, more analytic studies are still needed to clarify the future prospect of this area of science. The main aim of this research was to review the clinical applications of human Amniotic membrane in the field of regenerative medicine critically. Furthermore, in the light of increasing numbers of available products derived from amniotic membrane, we aimed look in depth to see whether regenerative medicine research strategies have a place in the clinical setting. More specifically, in the present study, we attempted to provide insight on developing the new indication for more research and in the next step, for market leaders companies to expand cost-effectiveness of new derived AM products. 20 companies or distributers have offered some commercial products in this field. Survey on more than 90 clinical trials in last five years showed dermatology (and more specific wound healing), orthopedic, and ophthalmology are heavily biased toward multibillion dollar industry. Moreover, urology and dentistry with fewer numbers of clinical data in comparison with the above-mentioned areas, currently are in the path of translation (especially dentistry). In addition, otolaryngology and oncology with the lowest number showed more potential of research thorough understanding the properties that will help guiding the use of AM-derived products in these two areas in future. More than 50% of clinical studies were done or are developing in USA, which have the biggest share in market products. Subsequently, China, Egypt, India, Iran, and Germany with the ongoing clinical trials in different phases may have more approved products in near future.

RASL11B gene enhances hyaluronic acid-mediated chondrogenic differentiation in human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells via the activation of Sox9/ERK/smad signals.

Abstract
This study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms, whereby hyaluronic acid, a main extracellular matrix component of articular cartilage, promotes the chondrogenic differentiation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs). Our previous findings indicated that hyaluronic acid combined with hAMSCs showed a marked therapeutic effect against rat osteoarthritis. In the present study, hyaluronic acid markedly enhanced the expression of chondrocyte-specific markers including Col2α1, Acan, and Sox9 in hAMSCs, with strong synergistic effects on chondrogenic differentiation, in combination with the commonly used inducer, transforming growth factor β3 (TGF-β3). Microarray analysis showed that Ras-like protein family member 11B (RASL11B) played a pivotal role in the process of hyaluronic acid-mediated chondrogenesis of hAMSCs. This directional differentiation was significantly inhibited by RASL11B knockdown, but RASL11B overexpression dramatically promoted the expression of Sox9, a master chondrogenesis transcriptional factor, at the levels of transcription and translation. Increased Sox9 expression subsequently resulted in high expression levels of Col2α1 and Acan and the accumulation of cartilage-specific matrix components, such as type 2 collagen and glycosaminoglycans. Moreover, we observed that RASL11B activated the signal molecules such as ERK1/2, and Smad2/3 in the presence of hyaluronic acid during TGF-β3-induced chondrogenesis of hAMSCs. Taken together, these findings suggest that hyaluronic acid activates the RASL11B gene to potentiate the chondrogenic differentiation of hAMSCs via the activation of Sox9 and ERK/Smad signaling, thus providing a new strategy for cartilage defect repairing by hyaluronic acid-based stem cell therapy.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels have unique advantages for the repair of irregular tissue defects. In this study, we report a novel injectable carbon nanotube (CNT) and black phosphorus (BP) gel with enhanced mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and continuous phosphate ion release for tissue engineering. The gel utilized biodegradable oligo(poly(ethylene glycol) fumarate) (OPF) polymer as the cross-linking matrix, with the addition of cross-linkable CNT-poly(ethylene glycol)-acrylate (CNTpega) to grant mechanical support and electric conductivity. Two-dimensional (2D) black phosphorus nanosheets were also infused to aid in tissue regeneration through the steady release of phosphate that results from environmental oxidation of phosphorus in situ. This newly developed BP-CNTpega-gel was found to enhance the adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3 preosteoblast cells. With electric stimulation, the osteogenesis of preosteoblast cells was further enhanced with elevated expression of several key osteogenic pathway genes. As monitored with X-ray imaging, the BP-CNTpega-gel demonstrated excellent in situ gelation and cross-linking to fill femur defects, vertebral body cavities, and posterolateral spinal fusion sites in the rabbit. Together, these results indicate that this newly developed injectable BP-CNTpega-gel owns promising potential for future bone and broad types of tissue engineering applications.

Ganoderic Acid D Protects Human Amniotic Mesenchymal Stem Cells against Oxidative Stress-Induced Senescence through the PERK/NRF2 Signaling Pathway. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:8291413. [PMID: 32774686 PMCID: PMC7407022 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8291413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2020] [Revised: 06/19/2020] [Accepted: 06/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Aging is an important risk factor in the occurrence of many chronic diseases. Senescence and exhaustion of adult stem cells are considered as a hallmark of aging in organisms. In this study, a senescent human amniotic mesenchymal stem cell (hAMSC) model subjected to oxidative stress was established in vitro using hydrogen peroxide. We investigated the effects of ganoderic acid D (GA-D), a natural triterpenoid compound produced from Ganoderma lucidum, on hAMSC senescence. GA-D significantly inhibited β-galactosidase (a senescence-associated marker) formation, in a dose-dependent manner, with doses ranging from 0.1 μM to 10 μM, without inducing cytotoxic side-effects. Furthermore, GA-D markedly inhibited the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the expression of p21 and p16 proteins, relieved the cell cycle arrest, and enhanced telomerase activity in senescent hAMSCs. Furthermore, GA-D upregulated the expression of phosphorylated protein kinase R- (PKR-) like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), peroxidase III (PRDX3), and nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor (NRF2) and promoted intranuclear transfer of NRF2 in senescent cells. The PERK inhibitor GSK2656157 and/or the NRF2 inhibitor ML385 suppressed the PERK/NRF2 signaling, which was activated by GA-D. They induced a rebound for the generation of ROS and β-galactosidase-positive cells and attenuated the differentiation capacity. These findings suggest that GA-D retards hAMSC senescence through activation of the PERK/NRF2 signaling pathway and may be a promising candidate for the discovery of antiaging agents.

Abstract
3D-printed porous titanium-aluminum-vanadium (Ti6Al4V, pTi) scaffolds offer surgeons a good option for the reconstruction of large bone defects, especially at the load-bearing sites. However, poor osteogenesis limits its application in clinic. In this study, a new magnetic coating is successfully fabricated by codepositing of Fe3 O4 nanoparticles and polydopamine (PDA) on the surface of 3D-printed pTi scaffolds, which enhances cell attachment, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs in vitro and new bone formation of rabbit femoral bone defects in vivo with/without a static magnetic field (SMF). Furthermore, through proteomic analysis, the enhanced osteogenic effect of the magnetic Fe3 O4 /PDA coating with the SMF is found to be related to upregulate the TGFβ-Smads signaling pathway. Therefore, this work provides a simple protocol to improve the osteogenesis of 3D-printed porous pTi scaffolds, which will help their application in clinic.

Abstract
CD44 antigen (CD44) is a transmembrane protein found in cell adhesion molecules and is involved in the regulation of various physiological processes in cells. It was hypothesized that CD44 directly affected the chondrogenic differentiation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs). In the present study, the expression of chondrocyte-associated factors was detected in the absence and presence of the antibody blocker anti-CD44 antibody during the chondrogenic differentiation of hAMSCs. Following inhibition of CD44 expression, the transcriptional levels of chondrocyte-associated genes SRY-box transcription factor 9, aggrecan and collagen type II α 1 chain, as well as the production of chondrocyte markers type II collagen and aggrecan were significantly decreased in hAMSCs. Further investigation indicated that there was no significant change in total ERK1/2 expression following inhibition of CD44 expression; however, phosphorylated (p)-ERK1/2 expression was decreased. The expression of p-Smad2/3 was also upregulated following CD44 inhibition. These data indicated that CD44 may affect the differentiation of hAMSCs into chondrocytes by regulating the Smad2/3 and ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Osteogenic inducers play central roles in effective stem cell-based treatment of bone defects/losses. However, the current routine osteogenic inducer is a cocktail comprising three components that must be improved due to low induction efficiency and side effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop safer and more effective osteoinducers. Herein, we demonstrated the osteogenic effect of Ganoderal A (GD-A), a tetracyclic triterpenoid compound from Ganoderma lucidum. GD-A showed no cytotoxicity toward human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) at doses of 0.001-10 μM; furthermore, 0.01 μM GD-A significantly induced the generation of osteoblast-specific markers, such as alkaline phosphatase, and calcium deposition in hAMSCs. At molecular levels, GD-A promoted the expression of multiple osteoblast differentiation markers, such as RUNX2, OSX, OPN, ALP, OCN, and COL1α1. Both Wnt/β-catenin and BMP/SMAD signaling were shown as active during hAMSC osteodifferentiation. Furthermore, specific blocking of both signals by KYA1797K and SB431542 significantly inhibited alkaline phosphatase secretion and RUNX2 and ALP expression when used alone or in combination. Meanwhile, both signals were also blocked. These findings suggest that GD-A induces hAMSC differentiation into osteoblasts through signaling cross-talk between Wnt/β-catenin and BMP/SMAD. Taken together, GD-A is a safe, effective, and novel osteoinducer and might be used for stem cell-based therapy for bone defects/losses.

PTPN21 Overexpression Promotes Osteogenic and Adipogenic Differentiation of Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells but Inhibits the Immunosuppressive Function. Stem Cells Int 2019; 2019:4686132.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) act as key regulators in various cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and migration. Our previous research demonstrated that non-receptor-typed PTP21 (PTPN21), a member of the PTP family, played a critical role in the proliferation, cell cycle, and chemosensitivity of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. However, the role of PTPN21 in the bone marrow microenvironment has not yet been elucidated. In the study, we explored the effects of PTPN21 on human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) via lentiviral-mediated overexpression and knock-down of PTPN21 in vitro. Overexpressing PTPN21 in BM-MSCs inhibited the proliferation through arresting cell cycle at the G0 phase but rendered them a higher osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation potential. In addition, overexpressing PTPN21 in BM-MSCs increased their senescence levels through upregulation of P21 and P53 and dramatically changed the levels of crosstalk with their typical target cells including immunocytes, tumor cells, and vascular endothelial cells. BM-MSCs overexpressing PTPN21 had an impaired immunosuppressive function and an increased capacity of recruiting tumor cells and vascular endothelial cells in a chemotaxis transwell coculture system. Collectively, our data suggested that PTPN21 acted as a pleiotropic factor in modulating the function of human BM-MSCs.
