[PMID: 37196856 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2023.121785] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
Each year, thousands of people suffer from traumatic peripheral nerve lesions, which impair mobility and sensibility and frequently have fatal outcomes. The recovery of peripheral nerves on its own is frequently insufficient. In this regard, cell therapy is currently one of the most cutting-edge techniques for nerve healing. The purpose of this review is to highlight the properties of various types of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are critical for peripheral nerve regeneration after nerve injury. The Preferred Reporting term used to review the available literature are "nerve regeneration," "stem cells," "peripheral nerve damage," "rat," and "human" were combined. In addition, using the phrases "stem cells" and "nerve regeneration" in PubMed, a "MeSH" search was conducted. This study describes the features of the most often utilized MSCs, as well as its paracrine potential, targeted stimulation, and propensity for differentiation into Schwann-like and neuronal-like cells. For the repair of peripheral nerve lesions, ADSCs appear to be the most relevant and promising MSCs, because of their ability to sustain and increase axonal growth, as well as their outstanding paracrine activity, putative differentiation potential, low immunogenicity, and excellent post-transplant survival rate.

Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering-Based Therapeutic Interventions: Promising Strategies to Improve Peripheral Nerve Regeneration. Cell Mol Neurobiol 2023; 43:433-454.

Abstract
Unlike the central nervous system, the peripheral one has the ability to regenerate itself after injury; however, this natural regeneration process is not always successful. In fact, even with some treatments, the prognosis is poor, and patients consequently suffer with the functional loss caused by injured nerves, generating several impacts on their quality of life. In the present review we aimed to address two strategies that may considerably potentiate peripheral nerve regeneration: stem cells and tissue engineering. In vitro studies have shown that pluripotent cells associated with neural scaffolds elaborated by tissue engineering can increase functional recovery, revascularization, remyelination, neurotrophin expression and reduce muscle atrophy. Although these results are very promising, it is important to note that there are some barriers to be circumvented: the host's immune response, the oncogenic properties attributed to stem cells and the duration of the pro-regenerative effects. After all, more studies are still needed to overcome the limitations of these treatments; those that address techniques for manipulating the lesion microenvironment combining different therapies seem to be the most promising and proactive ones.

Abstract
It is crucial and clinically relevant to clarify the homing efficiency and retention of stem cells in different implanting strategies of cell therapy for various injuries. However, the need for a tool for investigating the mechanisms is still unmet. We herein introduce multi-modal BaGdF5:Yb,Tm nanoparticles as a nanoprobe to label adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and detect the homing behavior with a micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging technique. The migration of cells injected locally or intravenously, with or without a chemokine, CXCL 12, was compared. A higher homing efficiency of ADSCs was observed in both intravenously injected groups, in contrast to the low efficiency of cell retention in local implantation. Meanwhile, CXCL 12 promoted the homing of ADSCs, especially in the intravenous route. Nonetheless, the administration of CXCL 12 showed its therapeutic efficacy, whereas intravenous injection of ADSCs almost did not. Our work provided a tool for in vivo imaging of the behavior of implanted cells in preclinical studies of cell therapy, and more importantly, implied that the parameters for implanting stem cells in clinical operation should be carefully considered.

Cell Tissue Res 2021; 384:99-112.

Abstract
Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) can be differentiated into Schwann-cell-like cells (SCLCs) in vitro. However, the underlying mechanism of cell differentiation remains unclear. In this study, we explored the phenotype and multipotency of hAMSCs, which were differentiated into SCLCs, and the expression of nerve repair-related Schwann markers, such as S100 calcium binding protein B (S-100), TNF receptor superfamily member 1B (P75), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were observed to be significantly increased. The secreted functional neurotrophic factors, like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF), and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), were determined and also increased with the differentiation time. Moreover, miR-146a-3p, which significantly decreased during the differentiation of hAMSCs into SCLCs, was selected by miRNA-sequence analysis. Further molecular mechanism studies showed that Erb-B2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2) was an effective target of miR-146a-3p and that miR-146a-3p down-regulated ERBB2 expression by binding to the 3'-UTR of ERBB2. The expression of miR-146a-3p markedly decreased, while the mRNA levels of ERBB2 increased with the differentiation time. The results showed that down-regulating miR-146a-3p could promote SC lineage differentiation and suggested that miR-146a-3p negatively regulated the Schwann-like phenotype differentiation of hAMSCs by targeting ERBB2. The results will be helpful to establish a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms and find novel strategies for cell therapy.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Treatment Perspectives in Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: Systematic Review. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22020572. [PMID: 33430035 PMCID: PMC7827385 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22020572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2020] [Revised: 01/05/2021] [Accepted: 01/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Traumatic peripheral nerve lesions affect hundreds of thousands of patients every year; their consequences are life-altering and often devastating and cause alterations in movement and sensitivity. Spontaneous peripheral nerve recovery is often inadequate. In this context, nowadays, cell therapy represents one of the most innovative approaches in the field of nerve repair therapies. The purpose of this systematic review is to discuss the features of different types of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) relevant for peripheral nerve regeneration after nerve injury. The published literature was reviewed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A combination of the keywords “nerve regeneration”, “stem cells”, “peripheral nerve injury”, “rat”, and “human” were used. Additionally, a “MeSH” research was performed in PubMed using the terms “stem cells” and “nerve regeneration”. The characteristics of the most widely used MSCs, their paracrine potential, targeted stimulation, and differentiation potentials into Schwann-like and neuronal-like cells are described in this paper. Considering their ability to support and stimulate axonal growth, their remarkable paracrine activity, their presumed differentiation potential, their extremely low immunogenicity, and their high survival rate after transplantation, ADSCs appear to be the most suitable and promising MSCs for the recovery of peripheral nerve lesion. Clinical considerations are finally reported.

Abstract
Injuries to the nervous system cause serious problems among affected patients by preventing them from the possibility of living a normal life. As this tissue possesses a reduced capacity of self-regeneration currently, lots of different strategies are being developed in order to make the regeneration in the nervous system possible. Among them, tissue engineering and stem cell-based therapies are to date very exploded fields and tremendous progress has been made in this direction. As the two main components of the nervous system, react differently to injuries and behave different during disease, it is clear that two separate regeneration approaches have been taken into consideration during development of treatment. Special attention is constantly given to the potential of adipose-derived stem cells for this kind of application. Due to the fact that they present remarkable properties, they can easily be obtained and have demonstrated that are capable of engaging in neural and glial lineages, adipose-derived stem cells are promising tools for the field of nervous system regeneration. Moreover, new insights into epigenetic control and modifications during the differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells towards the neural liege could provide new methods to maximize the regeneration process. In this review, we summarize the current applications of adipose-derived stem cells for neural regeneration and discuss in-depth molecular patterns involved in the differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells in neuron-like cells and Schwann-like cells.
