Abstract
Aim & objective: Levormeloxifene (L-ORM) and raloxifene (RAL) are selective estrogen receptor modulators used in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis and breast cancer. Here, we developed and validated a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous estimation of both drugs. Materials & methods: A quality-by-design (QbD) approach was used for the optimization of the nanoemulsion, and US FDA guidelines were followed for method validation. Results: Multiple reaction monitoring transitions were used for L-ORM (459.05→98.50), RAL (475.00→112.02) and internal standard (180.10→110.2). Analytes were resolved in a C18 column with 80:20 v/v% acetonitrile (ACN), 0.1% formic acid in triple-distilled water as a mobile phase. The developed method was linear over a concentration range of 1-600 ng/ml. Pharmacokinetic results of free L-ORM-RAL and the L-ORM-RAL nanoemulsion showed Cmax of free L-ORM - 70.65 ± 16.64, free RAL 13.53 ± 2.72, L-ORM nanoemulsion 65.07 ± 14.0 and RAL-nanoemulsion 59.27 ± 17.44 ng/ml. Conclusion: Future findings will contribute to the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis and breast cancer using L-ORM and RAL.

CD73-Positive Small Extracellular Vesicles Derived From Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote the Proliferation and Migration of Pediatric Urethral Smooth Muscle Cells Through Adenosine Pathway. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:895998. [PMID: 35573239 PMCID: PMC9091373 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.895998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are the main functional component of urethral tissue, but are difficult to proliferate in vitro. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (MSC-sEV) have been shown to promote tissue repair by regulating the proliferation and migration of different types of cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived sEV (UCMSC-sEV) on the proliferation and migration of pediatric urethral smooth muscle cells (PUSMCs) and the mechanism by which sEV regulates the function of PUSMCs. We observed that UCMSC-sEV can significantly promote the proliferation and migration of PUSMCs in vitro. UCMSC-sEV exerted proliferation and migration promotion effects by carrying the CD73 to PUSMCs and catalyzing the production of adenosine. Conversely, the effect of UCMSC-sEV on the proliferation and migration of PUSMCs were no longer observed with addition of the PSB12379 as a CD73 inhibitor. It was found that the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway in PUSMCs was activated by adenosine or UCMSC-sEV intervention. In summary, UCMSC-sEV promoted proliferation and migration of PUSMCs in vitro by activating CD73/adenosine signaling axis and downstream PI3K/AKT pathway. Thus, we concluded that UCMSC-sEV may be suggested as a new solution strategy for the urethral tissue repair.

Postnatal Deletion of the Type II Transforming Growth Factor-β Receptor in Smooth Muscle Cells Causes Severe Aortopathy in Mice. Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 2015; 35:2647-56. [PMID: 26494233 DOI: 10.1161/atvbaha.115.306573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 75] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2014] [Accepted: 10/14/2015] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prenatal deletion of the type II transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) receptor (TBRII) prevents normal vascular morphogenesis and smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation, causing embryonic death. The role of TBRII in adult SMC is less well studied. Clarification of this role has important clinical implications because TBRII deletion should ablate TGF-β signaling, and blockade of TGF-β signaling is envisioned as a treatment for human aortopathies. We hypothesized that postnatal loss of SMC TBRII would cause aortopathy. APPROACH AND RESULTS We generated mice with either of 2 tamoxifen-inducible SMC-specific Cre (SMC-CreER(T2)) alleles and homozygous floxed Tgfbr2 alleles. Mice were injected with tamoxifen, and their aortas examined 4 and 14 weeks later. Both SMC-CreER(T2) alleles efficiently and specifically rearranged a floxed reporter gene and efficiently rearranged a floxed Tgfbr2 allele, resulting in loss of aortic medial TBRII protein. Loss of SMC TBRII caused severe aortopathy, including hemorrhage, ulceration, dissection, dilation, accumulation of macrophage markers, elastolysis, abnormal proteoglycan accumulation, and aberrant SMC gene expression. All areas of the aorta were affected, with the most severe pathology in the ascending aorta. Cre-mediated loss of SMC TBRII in vitro ablated both canonical and noncanonical TGF-β signaling and reproduced some of the gene expression abnormalities detected in vivo. CONCLUSIONS SMC TBRII plays a critical role in maintaining postnatal aortic homeostasis. Loss of SMC TBRII disrupts TGF-β signaling, acutely alters SMC gene expression, and rapidly results in severe and durable aortopathy. These results suggest that pharmacological blockade of TGF-β signaling in humans could cause aortic disease rather than prevent it.
