Abstract
Wilson disease (WD), also known as hepatolenticular degeneration, is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by disorganized copper metabolism caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene. Currently, the main treatment options for WD involve medications such as d-penicillamine, trientine hydrochloride, zinc acetate, and liver transplantation. However, there are challenges that encompass issues of poor compliance, adverse effects, and limited availability of liver sources that persist. Stem cell therapy for WD is currently a promising area of research. Due to the advancement in stem cell directed differentiation technology in vitro and the availability of sufficient stem cell donors, it is expected to be a potential treatment option for the permanent correction of abnormal copper metabolism. This article discusses the research progress of stem cell therapy for WD from various sources, as well as the challenges and future prospects of the clinical application of stem cell therapy for WD.

Sonoda S, Yamaza T. Extracellular vesicles rejuvenate the microenvironmental modulating function of recipient tissue-specific mesenchymal stem cells in osteopenia treatment. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1151429. [PMID: 37033255 PMCID: PMC10073676 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1151429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Systemic transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), such as bone marrow MSCs (BMMSCs) and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED), is considered a prominent treatment for osteopenia. However, the mechanism of action of the transplanted MSCs has been poorly elucidated. In the recipient target tissue, including bone and bone marrow, only a few donor MSCs can be detected, suggesting that the direct contribution of donor MSCs may not be expected for osteopenia treatment. Meanwhile, secretomes, especially contents within extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from donor MSCs (MSC-EVs), play key roles in the treatment of several diseases. In this context, administrated donor MSC-EVs may affect bone-forming function of recipient cells. In this review, we discuss how MSC-EVs contribute to bone recovery recipient tissue in osteopenia. We also summarize a novel mechanism of action of systemic administration of SHED-derived EVs (SHED-EVs) in osteopenia. We found that reduced telomerase activity in recipient BMMSCs caused the deficiency of microenvironmental modulating function, including bone and bone marrow-like niche formation and immunomodulation in estrogen-deficient osteopenia model mice. Systemic administration of SHED-EVs could exert therapeutic effects on bone reduction via recovering the telomerase activity, leading to the rejuvenation of the microenvironmental modulating function in recipient BMMSCs, as seen in systemic transplantation of SHED. RNase-preconditioned donor SHED-EVs diminished the therapeutic benefits of administrated SHED-EVs in the recipient osteopenia model mice. These facts suggest that MSC-EV therapy targets the recipient BMMSCs to rejuvenate the microenvironmental modulating function via telomerase activity, recovering bone density. We then introduce future challenges to develop the reproducible MSC-EV therapy in osteopenia.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting about 20–50% of people, worldwide, and manifesting clinically through the detection of gingival inflammation, clinical attachment loss, radiographically assessed resorption of alveolar bone, gingival bleeding upon probing, teeth mobility and their potential loss at advanced stages. It is characterized by a multifactorial etiology, including an imbalance of the oral microbiota, mechanical stress and systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus. The current standard treatments for periodontitis include eliminating the microbial pathogens and applying biomaterials to treat the bone defects. However, periodontal tissue regeneration via a process consistent with the natural tissue formation process has not yet been achieved. Developmental biology studies state that periodontal tissue is composed of neural crest-derived ectomesenchyme. The aim of this review is to discuss the clinical utility of stem cells in periodontal regeneration by reviewing the relevant literature that assesses the periodontal-regenerative potential of stem cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic liver diseases often involve metabolic damage to the skeletal system. The underlying mechanism of bone loss in chronic liver diseases remains unclear, and appropriate therapeutic options, except for orthotopic liver transplantation, have proved insufficient for these patients. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and mechanism of transplantation of immature hepatocyte-like cells converted from stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED-Heps) in bone loss of chronic liver fibrosis. METHODS Mice that were chronically treated with CCl4 received SHED-Heps, and trabecular bone density, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and osteoclast activity were subsequently analyzed in vivo and in vitro. The effects of stanniocalcin 1 (STC1) knockdown in SHED-Heps were also evaluated in chronically CCl4 treated mice. RESULTS SHED-Hep transplantation (SHED-HepTx) improved trabecular bone loss and liver fibrosis in chronic CCl4-treated mice. SHED-HepTx reduced hepatic ROS production and interleukin 17 (Il-17) expression under chronic CCl4 damage. SHED-HepTx reduced the expression of both Il-17 and tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily 11A (Tnfrsf11a) and ameliorated the imbalance of osteoclast and osteoblast activities in the bone marrow of CCl4-treated mice. Functional knockdown of STC1 in SHED-Heps attenuated the benefit of SHED-HepTx including anti-bone loss effect by suppressing osteoclast differentiation through TNFSF11-TNFRSF11A signaling and enhancing osteoblast differentiation in the bone marrow, as well as anti-fibrotic and anti-ROS effects in the CCl4-injured livers. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that targeting hepatic ROS provides a novel approach to treat bone loss resulting from chronic liver diseases.

Abstract
Human dental pulp stem cell (hDPSCs)-based therapy is a feasible option for regenerative medicine, such as dental pulp regeneration. Here, we show the steps needed to colony-forming unit-fibroblasts (CFU-F)-based isolation, expansion, and cryopreservation of hDPSCs for manufacturing clinical-grade products under a xenogeneic-free/serum-free condition. We also demonstrate the characterization of hDPSCs by CFU-F, flow cytometric, and in vitro multipotent assays. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Iwanaka et al. (2020).

Abstract
Recent advances in mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) research have led us to consider the feasibility of MSC-based therapy for various diseases. Human dental pulp-derived MSCs (hDPSCs) have been identified in the dental pulp tissue of deciduous and permanent teeth, and they exhibit properties with self-renewal and in vitro multipotency. Interestingly, hDPSCs exhibit superior immunosuppressive functions toward immune cells, especially T lymphocytes, both in vitro and in vivo. Recently, hDPSCs have been shown to have potent immunomodulatory functions in treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in the SLE MRL/lpr mouse model. However, the mechanisms underlying the immunosuppressive efficacy of hDPSCs remain unknown. This review aims to introduce a new target of hDPSC-based therapy on the recipient niche function in SLE.

Abstract
In utero fetal therapy offers the opportunity to prevent and treat diseases with a cellular or genetic basis. Components of successful fetal treatment include isolation of a replacement cell population, in utero stem cell transplantation, cell engraftment with fetal immune tolerance, and ongoing cell function. Fetal gene therapy with CRISPR-Cas9 represents an exciting potential therapy for genetic diseases not amenable to gene supplementation via adenoviral vector transduction. These fetal therapies have unique ethical and safety considerations. Clinical trials for in utero cell therapy are underway, as additional discoveries in stem cell biology and gene therapy move closer to clinical translation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biliary atresia (BA) is a severe hepatobiliary disease in infants that ultimately results in hepatic failure; however, its pathological mechanism is poorly elucidated. Current surgical options, including Kasai hepatoportoenterostomy and orthotopic liver organ transplantations, are palliative; thus, innovation in BA therapy is urgent. METHODS To examine whether BA-specific post-natal stem cells are feasible for autologous cell source for BA treatment, we isolated from human exfoliated deciduous teeth, namely BA-SHED, using a standard colony-forming unit fibroblast (CFU-F) method and compared characteristics as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to healthy donor-derived control SHED, Cont-SHED. BA-SHED and Cont-SHED were intrasplenically transplanted into chronic carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis model mice, followed by the analysis of bile drainage function and donor integration in vivo. Immunohistochemical assay was examined for the regeneration of intrahepatic bile ducts in the recipient's liver using anti-human specific keratin 19 (KRT19) antibody. RESULTS BA-SHED formed CFU-F, expressed MSC surface markers, and exhibited in vitro mesenchymal multipotency similar to Cont-SHED. BA-SHED showed less in vitro hepatogenic potency than Cont-SHED. Cont-SHED represented in vivo bile drainage function and KRT19-positive biliary regeneration in chronic carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis model mice. BA-SHED failed to show in vivo biliary potency and bile drainage function compared to Cont-SHED. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that BA-SHED are not feasible source for BA treatment, because BA-SHED may epigenetically modify the underlying prenatal and perinatal BA environments. In conclusion, these findings suggest that BA-SHED-based studies may provide a platform for understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of BA development and innovative novel modalities in BA research and treatment.

Abstract
Wilson disease (WD) is a copper excretion disorder, mainly caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene. Pharmacological therapies and liver transplantation are currently the main treatment methods for WD, but they face problems such as drug treatment compliance, adverse reactions, and shortage of liver donors. Stem cell therapy of WD may correct abnormal copper metabolism permanently, which is the focus of current research. In this review, we summarized the latest research on stem cells treatment for WD, as well as current challenges and future expectations.

Abstract
Background Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) have been reported to show the in vivo and in vitro hepatic differentiation, SHED-Heps; however, the cholangiogenic potency of SHED-Heps remains unclear. Here, we hypothesized that SHED-Heps contribute to the regeneration of intrahepatic bile duct system in chronic fibrotic liver. Methods SHED were induced into SHED-Heps under cytokine stimulation. SHED-Heps were intrasplenically transplanted into chronically CCl4-treated liver fibrosis model mice, followed by the analysis of donor integration and hepatobiliary metabolism in vivo. Immunohistochemical assay was examined for the regeneration of intrahepatic bile duct system in the recipient liver. Furthermore, SHED-Heps were induced under the stimulation of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFA). Results The intrasplenic transplantation of SHED-Heps into CCl4-treated mice showed that donor SHED-Heps behaved as human hepatocyte paraffin 1- and human albumin-expressing hepatocyte-like cells in situ and ameliorated CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. Of interest, the integrated SHED-Heps not only expressed biliary canaliculi ATP-binding cassette transporters including ABCB1, ABCB11, and ABCC2, but also recruited human keratin 19- (KRT19-) and KRT17-positive cells, which are considered donor-derived cholangiocytes, regenerating the intrahepatic bile duct system in the recipient liver. Furthermore, the stimulation of TNFA induced SHED-Heps into KRT7- and SRY-box 9-positive cells. Conclusions Collectively, our findings demonstrate that infused SHED-Heps showed cholangiogenic ability under the stimulation of TNFA in CCl4-damaged livers, resulting in the regeneration of biliary canaliculi and interlobular bile ducts in chronic fibrotic liver. Thus, the present findings suggest that SHED-Heps may be a novel source for the treatment of cholangiopathy.

Abstract
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are multipotent cells, which exhibit plastic adherence, express specific cell surface marker spectrum, and have multi-lineage differentiation potential. These cells can be obtained from multiple tissues. Dental tissue-derived hMSCs (dental MSCs) possess the ability to give rise to mesodermal lineage (osteocytes, adipocytes, and chondrocytes), ectodermal lineage (neurocytes), and endodermal lineages (hepatocytes). Dental MSCs were first isolated from dental pulp of the extracted third molar and till now they have been purified from various dental tissues, including pulp tissue of permanent teeth and exfoliated deciduous teeth, apical papilla, periodontal ligament, gingiva, dental follicle, tooth germ, and alveolar bone. Dental MSCs are not only easily accessible but are also expandable in vitro with relative genomic stability for a long period of time. Moreover, dental MSCs have exhibited immunomodulatory properties by secreting cytokines. Easy accessibility, multi-lineage differentiation potential, and immunomodulatory effects make dental MSCs distinct from the other hMSCs and an effective tool in stem cell-based therapy. Several preclinical studies and clinical trials have been performed using dental MSCs in the treatment of multiple ailments, ranging from dental diseases to nondental diseases. The present review has summarized dental MSC sources, multi-lineage differentiation capacities, immunomodulatory features, its potential in the treatment of diseases, and its application in both preclinical studies and clinical trials. The regenerative therapeutic strategies in dental medicine have also been discussed.

[PMID: 32680564 PMCID: PMC7367365 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-020-01818-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2020] [Revised: 06/23/2020] [Accepted: 07/08/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic transplantation of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) recovers bone loss in animal models of osteoporosis; however, the mechanisms underlying this remain unclear. Here, we hypothesized that trophic factors within SHED-releasing extracellular vesicles (SHED-EVs) rescue osteoporotic phenotype. METHODS EVs were isolated from culture supernatant of SHED. SHED-EVs were treated with or without ribonuclease and systemically administrated into ovariectomized mice, followed by the function of recipient bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) including telomerase activity, osteoblast differentiation, and sepmaphorine-3A (SEMA3A) secretion. Subsequently, human BMMSCs were stimulated by SHED-EVs with or without ribonuclease treatment, and then human BMMSCs were examined regarding the function of telomerase activity, osteoblast differentiation, and SEMA3A secretion. Furthermore, SHED-EV-treated human BMMSCs were subcutaneously transplanted into the dorsal skin of immunocompromised mice with hydroxyapatite tricalcium phosphate (HA/TCP) careers and analyzed the de novo bone-forming ability. RESULTS We revealed that systemic SHED-EV-infusion recovered bone volume in ovariectomized mice and improved the function of recipient BMMSCs by rescuing the mRNA levels of Tert and telomerase activity, osteoblast differentiation, and SEMA3A secretion. Ribonuclease treatment depleted RNAs, including microRNAs, within SHED-EVs, and these RNA-depleted SHED-EVs attenuated SHED-EV-rescued function of recipient BMMSCs in the ovariectomized mice. These findings were supported by in vitro assays using human BMMSCs incubated with SHED-EVs. CONCLUSION Collectively, our findings suggest that SHED-secreted RNAs, such as microRNAs, play a crucial role in treating postmenopausal osteoporosis by targeting the telomerase activity of recipient BMMSCs.

A model study for the manufacture and validation of clinical-grade deciduous dental pulp stem cells for chronic liver fibrosis treatment. Stem Cell Res Ther 2020; 11:134. [PMID: 32213198 PMCID: PMC7093986 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-020-01630-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2019] [Revised: 01/30/2020] [Accepted: 03/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Human deciduous pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) have remarkable stem cell potency associated with cell proliferation, mesenchymal multipotency, and immunosuppressive function and have shown beneficial effects in a variety of animal disease models. Recent studies demonstrated that hDPSCs exhibited in vivo anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory action and in vivo hepatogenic-associated liver regeneration, suggesting that hDPSCs may offer a promising source with great clinical demand for treating liver diseases. However, how to manufacture ex vivo large-scale clinical-grade hDPSCs with the appropriate quality, safety, and preclinical efficacy assurances remains unclear. METHODS We isolated hDPSCs from human deciduous dental pulp tissues formed by the colony-forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) method and expanded them under a xenogeneic-free and serum-free (XF/SF) condition; hDPSC products were subsequently stored by two-step banking including a master cell bank (MCB) and a working cell bank (WCB). The final products were directly thawed hDPSCs from the WCB. We tested the safety and quality check, stem cell properties, and preclinical potentials of final hDPSC products and hDPSC products in the MCB and WCB. RESULTS We optimized manufacturing procedures to isolate and expand hDPSC products under a XF/SF culture condition and established the MCB and the WCB. The final hDPSC products and hDPSC products in the MCB and WCB were validated the safety and quality including population doubling ability, chromosome stability, microorganism safety, and stem cell properties including morphology, cell surface marker expression, and multipotency. We also evaluated the in vivo immunogenicity and tumorigenicity and validated in vivo therapeutic efficacy for liver regeneration in a CCl4-induced chronic liver fibrosis mouse model in the final hDPSC products and hDPSC products in the WCB. CONCLUSION The manufacture and quality control results indicated that the present procedure could produce sufficient numbers of clinical-grade hDPSC products from a tiny deciduous dental pulp tissue to enhance clinical application of hDPSC products in chronic liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Stem Cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth (SHED) originate from the embryonic
neural crest as ectodermal mesenchymal stem cells and are isolated from human deciduous teeth.
SHED expresses the same cell markers as Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs), such as OCT4 and NANOG,
which make SHED to have a significant impact on clinical applications. SHED possess higher rates of
proliferation, higher telomerase activity, increased cell population doubling, form sphere-like clusters,
and possess immature and multi-differentiation capacity; such high plasticity makes SHED one of the
most popular sources of stem cells for biomedical engineering. In this review, we describe the isolation
and banking method, the current development of SHED in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering
in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) have now been considered one of the most promising sources of stem cells for tissue engineering and stem cell therapies due to their stemness and potential to differentiate into other cell lines. The high proliferation rate, the differentiation capacity, the easy access and less ethical concerns make SHED a brilliant solution for many diseases. The purpose of this review is to describe current knowledge of SHED's capability of differentiation, applications and immune status and to draw attention to further research on the mechanism and the dependability of stem cell therapy with SHED.

Therapeutic potential of spheroids of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth for chronic liver fibrosis and hemophilia A. Pediatr Surg Int 2019; 35:1379-1388.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based cell therapies have emerged as a promising treatment option for various diseases. Due to the superior survival and higher differentiation efficiency, three-dimensional spheroid culture systems have been an important topic of MSC research. Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) have been considered an ideal source of MSCs for regenerative medicine. Thus, in the present study, we introduce our newly developed method for fabricating SHED-based micro-hepatic tissues, and demonstrate the therapeutic effects of SHED-based micro-hepatic tissues in mouse disease models. METHODS SHED-converted hepatocyte-like cells (SHED-HLCs) were used for fabricating spherical micro-hepatic tissues. The SHED-HLC-based spheroids were then transplanted both into the liver of mice with CCl4-induced chronic liver fibrosis and the kidney of factor VIII (F8)-knock-out mice. At 4 weeks after transplantation, the therapeutic efficacy was investigated. RESULTS Intrahepatic transplantation of SHED-HLC-spheroids improved the liver dysfunction in association with anti-fibrosis effects in CCl4-treated mice. Transplanted SHED-converted cells were successfully engrafted in the recipient liver. Meanwhile, renal capsular transplantation of the SHED-HLC-spheroids significantly extended the bleeding time in F8-knock-out mice. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that SHED-HLC-based micro-hepatic tissues might be a promising source for treating pediatric refractory diseases, including chronic liver fibrosis and hemophilia A.
