Abstract
Cancer therapies developed using bacteria and their components have been around since the 19th century. Compared to traditional cancer treatments, the use of bacteria-derived compounds as cancer therapeutics could offer a higher degree of specificity, with minimal off-target effects. Here, we explored the use of soluble bacteria-derived toxins as a potential squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) therapeutic. We optimized a protocol to generate Staphylococcus aureus biofilm-conditioned media (BCM), where soluble bacterial products enriched in the development of biofilms were isolated from a bacterial culture and applied to SCC cell lines. Bioactive components of S. aureus ATCC 29213 (SA29213) BCM display selective toxicity towards cancerous human skin SCC-12 at low doses, while non-cancerous human keratinocyte HaCaT and fibroblast BJ-5ta are minimally affected. SA29213 BCM treatment causes DNA damage to SCC-12 and initiates Caspase 3-dependent-regulated cell death. The use of the novel SA29213 bursa aurealis transposon mutant library led to the identification of S. aureus alpha hemolysin as the main bioactive compound responsible for the observed SCC-12-specific toxicity. The antibody neutralisation of Hla eradicates the cytotoxicity of SA29213 BCM towards SCC-12. Hla displays high SCC-12-specific toxicity, which is exerted primarily through Hla-ADAM10 interaction, Hla oligomerisation, and pore formation. The high target specificity and potential to cause cell death in a controlled manner highlight SA29213 Hla as a good candidate as an alternative SCC therapeutic.

Abstract
Simple Summary Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells have intrinsic antimicrobial properties, thus making them attractive as an alternative treatment strategy in chronic, drug-resistant bacterial infections. Recent evidence has suggested that these antimicrobial effects can be significantly enhanced by immune activation just prior to injection. This review examines the potential role for cellular therapies in treatment of drug resistant infections in veterinary medicine, drawing on insights across species and discussing the therapeutic potential of this approach overall in today’s veterinary patients. Abstract Antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation both present challenges to treatment of bacterial infections with conventional antibiotic therapy and serve as the impetus for development of improved therapeutic approaches. Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy exerts an antimicrobial effect as demonstrated in multiple acute bacterial infection models. This effect can be enhanced by pre-conditioning the MSC with Toll or Nod-like receptor stimulation, termed activated cellular therapy (ACT). The purpose of this review is to summarize the current literature on mechanisms of antimicrobial activity of MSC with emphasis on enhanced effects through receptor agonism, and data supporting use of ACT in treatment of bacterial infections in veterinary species including dogs, cats, and horses with implications for further treatment applications. This review will advance the field’s understanding of the use of activated antimicrobial cellular therapy to treat infection, including mechanisms of action and potential therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Given the increasing prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus antibiotic resistance, there is an urgent need to repurpose approved drugs with known pharmacology and toxicology as an alternative therapeutic strategy. We have reported that the sustained monotherapy of auranofin (AUR) inevitably resulted in reduced susceptibility or even the emergence of resistance to AUR in S. aureus. However, whether drug combination could increase antibacterial activity while preventing AUR resistance is still unknown. Here, we focused on the important role of AUR combined with phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) in skin infection and determined the synergistic antimicrobial effect on S. aureus by using checkerboard assays and time-kill kinetics analysis. This synergistic antimicrobial activity correlated with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, disruption of bacterial cell structure, and inhibition of biofilm formation. We also showed that AUR synergized with PEITC effectively restored the susceptibility to AUR via regulating thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and rescued mice from subcutaneous abscesses through eliminating S. aureus pathogens, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Collectively, our study indicated that the AUR and PEITC combination had a synergistic antimicrobial impact on S. aureus in vitro and in vivo. These results suggest that AUR and PEITC treatment may be a promising option for S. aureus infection.

Abstract
One of the most prevalent complications of diabetes mellitus are diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Diabetic foot ulcers represent a complex condition placing individuals at-risk for major lower extremity amputations and are an independent predictor of patient mortality. DFU heal poorly when standard of care therapy is applied. In fact, wound healing occurs only approximately 30% within 12 weeks and only 45% regardless of time when standard of care is utilized. Similarly, diabetic foot infections occur in half of all DFU and conventional microbiologic cultures can take several days to process before a result is known. DFU represent a significant challenge in this regard because DFU often demonstrate polymicrobial growth, become resistant to preferred antibiotic therapy, and do not inform providers about long-term prognosis. In addition, conventional culture yields may be affected by the timing of antibiotic administration and collection of tissue for analysis. This may lead to suboptimal antibiotic administration or debilitating amputations. The microbiome of DFU is a new frontier to better understand the interactions between host organisms and pathogenic ones. Newer molecular techniques are readily available to assist in analyzing the constituency of the microbiome of DFU. These emerging techniques have already been used to study the microbiome of DFU and have clinical implications that may alter standard of care practice in the near future. Here emerging molecular techniques that can provide clinicians with rapid DFU-related-information and help prognosticate outcomes in this vulnerable patient population are presented.

Abstract
Appropriate technology as well as specific target cells and molecules are key factors for determination of wound vitality or wound age in forensic practice. Wound examination is one of the most important tasks for forensic pathologists and is indispensable to distinguish antemortem wounds from postmortem damage. For vital wounds, estimating the age of the wound is also essential in determining how the wound is associated with the cause of death. We investigated bone marrow-derived cells as promising markers and their potential usefulness in forensic applications. Although examination of a single marker cannot provide high reliability and objectivity in estimating wound age, evaluating the appearance combination of bone marrow-derived cells and the other markers may allow for a more objective and accurate estimation of wound age.

Abstract
Bone infection has always been the focus of orthopedic research. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the natural progenitors of osteoblasts, and the process of osteogenesis is triggered in response to different signals from the extracellular matrix. MSCs exert important functions including secretion and immune regulation and also play a key role in bone regeneration. The biological behavior of MSCs in acute and chronic inflammation, especially the transformation between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation, has aroused great interest among researchers. This paper reviews the recent literature and summarizes the behavior and biological characteristics of MSCs in acute and chronic inflammation to stimulate further research on MSCs and treatment of bone diseases.

Abstract
Combating bacteria while promoting tissue regeneration is an aim of highest priority for employing biomaterials in orthopedics that often embroiled with pre-operative contamination. Through simulating a surgical site infection environment and an infected implant site, we showcase the ability of a functionally modified hydroxyapatite, Ag,Si-HA that permits preferential adhesion of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) over co-cultured bacterial pathogen,Pseudomonas aeruginosa, by displaying immediate suppression and killing of the bacteria present with minimum cytotoxicity for 28 d. And, at the same time, Ag,Si-HA stimulates BMSCs towards osteogenic differentiation despite being within the contaminated milieu. These findings provide well-defined requirements for incorporating antibacterial properties to biomaterials in managing pre-operative contamination. In addition, it highlights the dual positive attributes of Ag,Si-HA as an effective antibacterial biomaterial and at the same time, promotes bone tissue regeneration.

Patient-specific effects of soluble factors from Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms on osteogenic differentiation of primary human osteoblasts. Sci Rep 2021; 11:17282.

Abstract
Due to the frequency of biofilm-forming Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis in orthopedics, it is crucial to understand the interaction between the soluble factors produced by prokaryotes and their effects on eukaryotes. Our knowledge concerning the effect of soluble biofilm factors (SBF) and their virulence potential on osteogenic differentiation is limited to few studies, particularly when there is no direct contact between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. SBF were produced by incubating biofilm from S. aureus and S. epidermidis in osteogenic media. Osteoblasts of seven donors were included in this study. Our results demonstrate that the detrimental effects of these pathogens do not require direct contact between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. SBF produced by S. aureus and S. epidermidis affect the metabolic activity of osteoblasts. However, the effect of SBF derived from S. aureus seems to be more pronounced compared to that of S. epidermidis. The influence of SBF of S. aureus and S. epidermidis on gene expression of COL1A1, ALPL, BGLAP, SPP1, RUNX2 is bacteria-, patient-, concentration-, and incubation time dependent. Mineralization was monitored by staining the calcium and phosphate deposition and revealed that the SBF of S. epidermidis markedly inhibits calcium deposition; however, S. aureus shows a less inhibitory effect. Therefore, these new findings support the hypotheses that soluble biofilm factors affect the osteogenic processes substantially, particularly when there is no direct interaction between bacteria and osteoblast.

Abstract
Multipotent stromal cells (MSCs) are widely utilized in therapy for their immunomodulatory properties, but their usage in infectious viral diseases is less explored. This review aimed to collate the current novel use of MSCs in virus-associated conditions, including MSC’s susceptibility to virus infection, antiviral properties of MSCs and their effects on cell-based immune response and implementation of MSC therapy in animal models and human clinical trials of viral diseases. Recent discoveries shed lights on MSC’s capability in suppressing viral replication and augmenting clearance through enhancement of antiviral immunity. MSC therapy may maintain a crucial balance between aiding pathogen clearance and suppressing hyperactive immune response.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Diabetes mellitus may affect every third adult American by 2050, and about one-third will develop a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) during their lifetime. The current standard of care results in healing of less than 50% of all DFUs. Many individuals with DFU develop limb-threatening infection which place them at risk for additional morbidity and mortality. We review research associated with culture-independent next-generation sequencing techniques pertaining to diabetic foot ulcers and their potential for clinical application. RECENT FINDINGS Diabetic foot ulcers are a growing problem and clinicians are limited by their reliance on conventional culture. Metagenomic sequencing technology provides an unparalleled viewpoint of the polymicrobial constituency of DFU. The microbiome techniques used to study the microbial constituency of DFU may offer insight to improve care for these patients, but without standardized approaches in research based on real-world clinical practices, a significant knowledge gap will remain.

Abstract
Polymicrobial biofilm leads to wound healing delay. We set up an in vitro co-culture model of single- and triple-species biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis with dermal fibroblast to assess the fibroblast response against to the different biofilms. Scratch and viability assays and biofilm cell quantifications were performed by WST-1, CLSM and plating method, respectively. Quorum sensing-related gene expression levels in P. aeruginosa and E. faecalis were analysed by reverse-transcriptase PCR. The immune responses of cells against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and E. faecalis biofilms were measured by cytokine and matrix metalloproteinase analyzes. The influence of biofilm soluble factors on fibroblasts was also determined. After 24 h, triple-species biofilm cells caused the removal of the fibroblasts from the surfaces indicating the negative synergistic effect of three species. After co-cultures, twenty-five cytokines were significantly increased in fibroblast cells compared to control. Compared to other strains, the most important cytokine, chemokine and growth factors increased was observed in P. aeruginosa co-cultures with fibroblast. While the expressions of fsrB and gelE genes were significantly upregulated in E. faecalis biofilm cells cultured with fibroblast cells, no significant difference was observed in P. aeruginosa. The wound healing and cell growth of fibroblasts were disrupted more aggressively in the presence of P. aeruginosa and triple-species biofilm cells. P. aeruginosa generally induced a stronger immune response in the fibroblasts than E. faecalis and S. aureus.

Abstract
Skin wound healing may sometimes lead to open sores that persist for long periods and expensive hospitalization is needed. Among different kinds of therapeutic innovative approaches, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and low-temperature atmospheric pressure cold plasma (ionized gas) have been recently tested to improve this regenerative process. To optimize wound healing the present study intended to combine, for the first time, these two novel approaches in a large size animal wound healing model with the aim of assessing the putative dual beneficial effects. Based on clinical, histopathological, and molecular results a synergistic action in a second intention healing wound in sheep has been observed. Experimental wounds treated with cold plasma and MSCs showed a slower but more effective healing compared to the single treatment, as observed in previous studies. The combined treatment improved the correct development of skin appendages and structural proteins of the dermis showing the potential of the dual combination as a safe and effective tool for skin regeneration in the veterinary clinical field.

Abstract
Two increasingly common endodontic procedures, vital pulp therapy (VPT) and regenerative endodontic procedures, rely on dental tissue regeneration/repair mechanisms with the aid of biomaterials. These materials are applied in close contact to the pulpal tissue and are required to be biocompatible, form an antimicrobial seal, not induce staining, and be easy to manipulate. Historically, calcium hydroxide played an important role in VPT. However, over the last 3 decades, significant efforts in research and industry have been made to develop various biomaterials, including hydraulic tricalcium silicate cements. The present review summarized various hydraulic tricalcium silicate cements and their biological properties in clinical procedures, namely VPT and regenerative endodontic procedures.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers commonly precede diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO) and once the latter occurs, surgical management is often performed. The presence of osteomyelitis is an independent risk factor for the development of re-ulceration. We investigated the relationship between causative organisms in osteomyelitis and 1-year diabetic foot outcomes (re-ulceration, amputation, and death) following surgical management in an observational cohort of 223 patients. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed for available demographic, clinical, and laboratory data. In addition, random forest plots were used to identify microbiologic predictors of 1-year outcomes. Patients with osteomyelitis managed surgically were younger and exhibited more painful peripheral neuropathy than outpatients with diabetes alone (both P < .0001). Osteomyelitis proximal margin cultures were diverse, at times polymicrobial, and included multidrug-resistant organisms in 13.9% of the cohort. In patients who underwent surgery, 44.5% experienced a re-ulceration on the same foot within 12 months of surgery. The presence of multidrug-resistant organisms on proximal bone culture was found to be a significant predictor of diabetic foot ulcer recurrence in univariate modelling (P < .001) and importance rankings. This is the first study to use prediction modelling to identify a relationship between multidrug-resistant organisms and diabetic foot ulcer recurrence following DFO.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Factors that influence clinical outcomes for regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) are unknown. This retrospective study aimed to assess tooth healing, root development, pulp vitality, and esthetics post-REPs and categorize them into clinician- and patient-centered outcomes. Furthermore, this study identified significant predictors affecting such outcomes. METHODS Immature permanent teeth diagnosed with pulp necrosis treated with REPs between 2008 and 2018 with a minimum of 1-year follow-up were included. Outcomes included success and survival rates, changes in root development using 2-dimensional radiographic root area (RRA) and 3-dimensional measurements, pulp vitality, and tooth discoloration. Predictor variables of success included age, sex, etiology of pulp necrosis (PN), type of medicament, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) concentration, type of biomaterial used over the blood clot, and preoperative apical diagnosis. Statistical analyses included Cox proportional hazard analyses and generalized regression models. RESULTS Fifty-one teeth with an average of 2.1 years of follow-up satisfied the criteria. The survival rate was 92%. The success rate was 84.3% with age, etiology of PN, type of medicament, and NaOCl concentration being significant predictors of failure. Root development occurred in 91.4% of cases with age, sex, etiology of PN, type of medicament, NaOCl concentration, and apical diagnosis being significant predictors for RRA change. Positive pulp sensibility responses were associated with greater RRA change, and, finally, the type of biomaterial was a significant predictor for tooth discoloration after treatment. CONCLUSIONS REPs provide a high survival rate. Patient and clinical factors may affect outcomes, and this knowledge may help to define the criteria for optimal treatment planning of REPs.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the CD146+ stem cells obtained from the human umbilical cord and their extracellular matrix proteins on in vitro Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus biofilms to understand their possible antimicrobial activity. CD146+ stem cells were determined according to cell surface markers and differentiation capacity. Characterization of the decellularized matrix was done with DAPI, Masson's Trichrome staining and proteome analysis. Cell viability/proliferation of cells in co-cultures was evaluated by WST-1 and crystal-violet staining. The effects of cells and decellularized matrix proteins on biofilms were investigated on a drip flow biofilm reactor and their effects on gene expression were determined by RT-qPCR. We observed that CD146/105+ stem cells could differentiate adipogenically and decellularized matrix showed negative DAPI and positive collagen staining with Masson' s Trichrome. Proteome analysis of the decellularized matrix revealed some matrix components and growth factors. Although the decellularized matrix significantly reduced the cell counts of P. aeruginosa, no significant difference was observed for S. aureus cells in both groups. Supporting data was obtained from the gene expression results of P. aeruginosa with the significant down-regulation of rhlR and lasR. For S. aureus, icaADBC genes were significantly up-regulated when grown on the decellularized matrix.

Abstract
Medicinal signaling cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells derived from mammalian bone marrow and periosteum that can be extended in culture. They can keep their ability in vitro to form a variety of mesodermal phenotypes and tissues. Over recent years, there has been great attention over MSCs since they can impact the organ transplantation as well as autoimmune and bacterial diseases. MSCs can secrete different bioactive factors such as growth factors, antimicrobial peptides/proteins and cytokines that can suppress the immune system and prevent infection via direct and indirect mechanisms. Moreover, MSCs are able to increase bacterial clearance in sepsis models by producing antimicrobial peptides such as defensins, cathelicidins, lipocalin and hepcidin. It is the aim of the present review to focus on the antibacterial effector functions of MSCs and their mechanisms of action against the pathogenic microbes.

Abstract
Bacterial colonization of acute and chronic wounds is often associated with delayed wound healing and prolonged hospitalization. The rise of multi-drug resistant bacteria and the poor biocompatibility of topical antimicrobials warrant safe and effective antimicrobials. Antimicrobial agents that target microbial membranes without interfering with the mammalian cell proliferation and migration hold great promise in the treatment of traumatic wounds. This article reports the utility of superhydrophilic electrospun gelatin nanofiber dressings (NFDs) containing a broad-spectrum antimicrobial polymer, ε-polylysine (εPL), crosslinked by polydopamine (pDA) for treating second-degree burns. In a porcine model of partial thickness burns, NFDs promoted wound closure and reduced hypertrophic scarring compared to untreated burns. Analysis of NFDs in contact with the burns indicated that the dressings trap early colonizers and elicit bactericidal activity, thus creating a sterile wound bed for fibroblasts migration and re-epithelialization. In support of these observations, in porcine models of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus colonized partial thickness burns, NFDs decreased bacterial bioburden and promoted wound closure and re-epithelialization. NFDs displayed superior clinical outcome than standard-of-care silver dressings. The excellent biocompatibility and antimicrobial efficacy of the newly developed dressings in pre-clinical models demonstrate its potential for clinical use to manage infected wounds without compromising tissue regeneration.

New Evidence and Insights on Dalbavancin and Wound Healing in a Mouse Model of Skin Infection. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2020; 64:AAC.02062-19.

Abstract
Dalbavancin is an effective antibiotic that is widely used to treat skin infection. Our aim was to determine the effect of dalbavancin administration on wound healing compared to that of vancomycin and to elucidate if epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1), MMP-9, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) could be involved in its therapeutic mechanism. A mouse model of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) skin infection was established. Mice were treated daily with vancomycin (10 mg/kg) and weekly with dalbavancin at day 1 (20 mg/kg) and day 8 (10 mg/kg). After 14 days, wounds were excised, and bacterial counts were performed. Wound healing was assessed by histological and immunohistochemical staining, followed by protein extraction and immunoblotting. Our microbiological results confirmed that both dalbavancin and vancomycin are effective in reducing the bacterial load in wounds. The dalbavancin group showed a strong effect compared with infected untreated animals and the vancomycin-treated group. The wounds treated with dalbavancin showed robust epidermal coverage with reconstitution of the regular and keratinized epidermal lining and well-organized granulation tissue with numerous blood vessels, although slightly less than that in the uninfected group. While in the vancomycin-treated group the epithelium appeared, in general, still hypertrophic, the granulation tissue appeared even less organized. We observed elevated EGFR and VEGF expression in both treated groups, although it was higher in dalbavancin-treated mice. MMP-1 and MMP-9 were decreased in uninfected tissue and in both treated tissues compared with untreated infected wounds. This study showed faster healing with dalbavancin treatment that might be associated with higher EGFR and VEGF levels.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered the most promising seed cells for regenerative medicine because of their considerable therapeutic properties and accessibility. Fine-tuning of cell biological processes, including differentiation and senescence, is essential for achievement of the expected regenerative efficacy. Researchers have recently made great advances in understanding the spatiotemporal gene expression dynamics that occur during osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs and the intrinsic and environmental factors that affect these processes. In this context, histone modifications have been intensively studied in recent years and have already been indicated to play significant and universal roles in MSC fate determination and differentiation. In this review, we summarize recent discoveries regarding the effects of histone modifications on MSC biology. Moreover, we also provide our insights and perspectives for future applications.

Abstract
Chronic wound infections are an important cause of delayed wound healing, posing a significant healthcare burden with consequences that include hospitalization, amputation, and death. These infections most often take the form of three-dimensional biofilm communities, which are notoriously recalcitrant to antibiotics and immune clearance, contributing to the chronic wound state. In the chronic wound microenvironment, microbial biofilms interact closely with other key components, including host cellular and matrix elements, immune cells, inflammatory factors, signaling components, and mechanical cues. Intricate relationships between these contributing factors not only orchestrate the development and progression of wound infections but also influence the therapeutic outcome. Current medical treatment for chronic wound infections relies heavily on long-term usage of antibiotics; however, their efficacy and reasons for failure remain uncertain. To develop effective therapeutic approaches, it is essential to better understand the complex pathophysiology of the chronic wound infection microenvironment, including dynamic interactions between various key factors. For this, it is critical to develop bioengineered platforms or model systems that not only include key components of the chronic wound infection microenvironment but also recapitulate interactions between these factors, thereby simulating the infection state. In doing so, these platforms will enable the testing of novel therapeutics, alone and in combinations, providing insights toward composite treatment strategies. In the first section of this review, we discuss the key components and interactions in the chronic wound infection microenvironment, which would be critical to recapitulate in a bioengineered platform. In the next section, we summarize the key features and relevance of current bioengineered chronic wound infection platforms. These are categorized and discussed based on the microenvironmental components included and their ability to recapitulate the architecture, interactions, and outcomes of the infection microenvironment. While these platforms have advanced our understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of chronic wound infections and provided insights into therapeutics, they possess certain insufficiencies that limit their clinical relevance. In the final section, we propose approaches that can be incorporated into these existing model systems or developed into future platforms developed, thus enhancing their biomimetic and translational capabilities, and thereby their human-relevance.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is the most commonly isolated pathogen from clinical bovine mastitis samples and a difficult pathogen to combat. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent progenitor cells equipped with a variety of factors that inhibit bacterial growth. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial potential against S. aureus of conditioned medium (CM) from MSC derived from fetal bovine bone marrow (BM-MSC) and adipose tissue (AT-MSC). BM-MSC, AT-MSC and fetal fibroblasts (FB) cultures were activated by infection with S. aureus. Bacterial growth was evaluated in presence of CM, concentrated CM (CCM), activated CM (ACM) and concentrated ACM (CACM) from BM-MSC, AT-MSC and FB. Gene expression of β-defensin 4A (bBD-4A), NK-lysine 1 (NK1), cathelicidin 2 (CATHL2), hepcidin (HEP) and indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) and protein expression of bBD-4A were determined in activated and non-activated cells. The majority of BM-MSC and AT-MSC expressed CD73, Oct4 and Nanog, and were negative for CD34. Growth of S. aureus decreased when it was exposed to CM from BM-MSC, AT-MSC and FB. Moreover, growth of S. aureus in CCM, ACM and CACM was lower compared to controls of CM from BM-MSC and AT-MSC. Activated AT-MSC increased mRNA levels of bBD4A and NK1, and protein levels of bBD4A in CM. Thus, CM from fetal bovine BM-MSC and AT-MSC has the capacity to reduce in average ~30% of S. aureus relative growth under in vitro conditions. The in vitro antibacterial effect of fetal bovine MSC may be mediated by bBD4A and NK1 activity.

Abstract
Despite human healthcare advances, some microorganisms continuously react evolving new survival strategies, choosing between a commensal fitness and a pathogenic attitude. Many opportunistic microbes are becoming an increasing cause of clinically evident infections while several renowned infectious diseases sustain a considerable number of deaths. Besides the primary and extensively investigated role of immune cells, other cell types are involved in the microbe-host interaction during infection. Interestingly, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the current leading players in cell therapy approaches, have been suggested to contribute to tackling pathogens and modulating the host immune response. In this context, this review critically explores MSCs' role in E. coli, S. aureus, and polymicrobial infections. Summarizing from various studies, in vitro and in vivo results support the mechanistic involvement of MSCs and their derivatives in fighting infection and in contributing to microbial spreading. Our work outlines the double face of MSCs during infection, disease, and sepsis, highlighting potential pitfalls in MSC-based therapy due to the MSCs' susceptibility to pathogens' weapons. We also identify potential targets to improve infection treatments, and propose the potential applications of MSCs for vaccine research.

Abstract
Regenerative endodontics exploits the mineralization potential of stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs) in order to promote root maturation of permanent immature teeth. SCAPs may encounter post-disinfection residual bacteria either in planktonic or in biofilm growth mode. Bacterial components bind to Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and trigger pro-inflammatory responses. We hypothesized that biofilm-triggered TLR activation affects the mineralization potential of human SCAPs. SCAPs were challenged with conditioned media derived from standardized dual-species biofilms and planktonic bacterial cultures and their inflammatory status and mineralization capacity were studied. Bacterial products from both growth modes (planktonic vs. biofilm) compromised cell viability, proliferation and mineralization capacity of SCAPs, but in a species- and growth mode-dependent fashion. While TLR4 expression remained unaffected, TLR2 expression was upregulated coinciding with a pro-inflammatory activation of SCAPs. Moreover, TLR and its downstream TGF-β-associated kinase (TAK1) appeared to be blocking mineralization, as inhibition of these factors restored it. In conclusion, bacterial products promoted the pro-inflammatory status and inhibited mineralization of human SCAPs in a TLR-, species-, and culture-dependent fashion. TLR2 emerged as the pivotal mediator of these responses and further research is warranted towards the judicious manipulation of SCAPs in order to modify the untoward events of TLR-priming and signaling.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are pluripotent stem cells that are regarded as ideal resources for the reconstruction of tissues and organs. The Tibetan mastiff is a breed of domesticated Chinese native dog that is well-adjusted to the high-altitude environments of Tibet. To the best of our knowledge, the biological characterization and multi-lineage differentiation of Tibetan mastiff BM-MSCs have not been reported previously. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the biological characteristics and therapeutic potential of Tibetan mastiff BM-MSCs. A cell culture system was constructed and cells were cultured to 23 passages in vitro. Growth curves and colony formation studies suggested that BM-MSCs had a high self-renewal capacity and that their proliferation rate declined with age. Karyotype analysis demonstrated that BM-MSCs were diploid and genetically stable. Semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that BM-MSCs positively expressed cluster of differentiation (CD)73, CD90, CD105, CD166 and vimentin, although they were negative for the endothelial cell marker CD31. Additionally, immunofluorescence staining revealed that the cells expressed CD29, CD44, CD90, CD105 and vimentin. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that the rates of positive expression of vimentin, CD44, CD90 and CD105 were all >97%. BM-MSCs were able to differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts, cartilage cells, hepatocytes and functional insulin-secreting cells. In conclusion, Tibetan mastiff BM-MSCs may be purified successfully using a whole bone marrow culture method. The findings of the current study suggested important potential applications of BM-MSCs as a source for regenerative therapies.

Abstract
Extremity injuries comprise a significant portion of trauma, affecting quality of life, financial burden, and return to duty. Bacterial contamination is commonly associated with failure to heal, despite antibiotic treatment, suggesting that additional therapies must be developed to combat these complications. Treatment failure is likely due to the presence of resistant microbial communities known as biofilms. Biofilm bacteria are able to elicit a direct inhibition of healing through a multitude of known factors. However, they likely also inhibit healing through alteration of the inflammatory response. As inflammation is a critical step in fracture healing, how the presence of biofilm bacteria shifts this response to one that is suboptimal for healing is an important consideration that is currently understudied. The profile of inflammatory factors in response to biofilm bacteria is unique and distinct from those induced during normal healing or by planktonic bacteria alone. This review will examine the presence of inflammatory factors during normal healing and those induced by contaminating bacteria, and will discuss how these differences may ultimately lead to nonunion. Specifically, this review will focus on the Th1/Th2/Th17 type inflammatory responses and how shifts in the balance of these responses during infection can lead to both ineffective clearance and disruption of fracture healing. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Chronic skin wounds are a significant human health concern and are often complicated by infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, particularly methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Translating the knowledge gained from extensive study of virulence mechanisms and pathogenesis of these bacterial species to new treatment modalities has been lacking in part due to a paucity of animal models able to recapitulate human disease. Our groups recently described a novel porcine chronic burn wound model for the study of bacterial infection; however, the histopathology of infection has yet to be described. The objective of this study is to define the histopathology of this model using important human chronic wound bacterial isolates. Porcine full-thickness burn wounds topically inoculated with P. aeruginosa strain PAO1, MRSA S. aureus strain USA300 or both bacteria were used to define and quantify histopathologic lesions. The development of a systemic, well-defined rubric for analysis allowed for evaluation of differences between infection groups. These differences, which included epithelial migration and proliferation, stromal necrosis, fluid accumulation and intensity and character of the innate and adaptive inflammatory cell responses, were identified temporally between infection groups. Mono-species infected wounds developed a hyper-proliferative wound edge. Coinfected wounds at day 35 had the largest wound sizes, increased amounts of neutrophilic inflammation, immaturity of the wound bed, and retention of necrotic tissue. Infection, regardless of species, inhibited wound contracture at all time points evaluated. Most importantly, this model recapitulated key features of chronic human wounds. Thus, this model will allow researchers to study novel treatment modalities in a biologically relevant animal model while monitoring both host and bacterial responses.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated pro-healing properties including an anti-inflammatory cytokine profile and the promotion of angiogenesis via expression of growth factors in pre-clinical models. MSCs encapsulated in poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGdA) and thiolated gelatin poly(ethylene glycol) (Gel-PEG-Cys) crosslinked hydrogels have led to controlled cellular presentation at wound sites with favorable wound healing outcomes. However, the therapeutic potential of MSC-loaded hydrogels may be limited by non-specific protein adsorption on the delivery matrix that could facilitate the initial adhesion of microorganisms and subsequent virulent biofilm formation. Antimicrobials loaded concurrently in the hydrogels with MSCs could reduce microbial bioburden and promote healing, but the antimicrobial effect on the MSC wound healing capacity and the antibacterial efficacy of the hydrogels is unknown. We demonstrate that minocycline specifically induces a favorable change in MSC migration capacity, proliferation, gene expression, extracellular matrix (ECM) attachment, and adhesion molecule and growth factor release with subsequent increased angiogenesis. We then demonstrate that hydrogels loaded with MSCs, minocycline, vancomycin, and linezolid can significantly decrease bacterial bioburden. Our study suggests that minocycline can serve as a dual mechanism for the regenerative capacity of MSCs and the reduction of bioburden in triple antimicrobial-loaded hydrogels. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Wound healing is a complex biological process that can be hindered by bacterial infection, excessive inflammation, and inadequate microvasculature. In this study, we develop a new formulation of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate and thiolated gelatin poly(ethylene glycol) crosslinked hydrogels loaded with minocycline, vancomycin, linezolid, and mesenchymal stromal/stem cells that induces a favorable wound healing phenotype in mesenchymal stromal/stem cells and prevents bacterial bioburden on the hydrogel. This combinatorial approach to biomaterial development has the potential to impact wound healing for contaminated full thickness cutaneous wounds.

Abstract
Reconstruction of large bone defects can be complicated by the presence of both infection and local antibiotic administration. This can be addressed through a two-stage reconstructive approach, called the Masquelet technique, that involves the generation of an induced osteogenic membrane over a temporary poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) space maintainer, followed by definitive reconstruction after the induced membrane is formed. Given that infection and antibiotic delivery each have independent effects on local tissue response, the objective of this study is to evaluate the interaction between local clindamycin release and bacterial contamination with regards to infection prevention and the restoration of pro-osteogenic gene expression in the induced membrane. Porous PMMA space maintainers with or without clindamycin were implanted in an 8 mm rat femoral defect model with or without Staphylococcus aureus inoculation for 28 days in a full-factorial study design (four groups, n = 8/group). Culture results demonstrated that 8/8 animals in the inoculated/no antibiotic group were infected at 4 weeks, which was significantly reduced to 1/8 animals in the inoculated/antibiotic group. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis demonstrated that clindamycin treatment restores inflammatory cytokine and growth factor expression to the same levels as the no inoculation/no antibiotic group, demonstrating that clindamycin can ameliorate the negative effects of bacterial inoculation and does not itself negatively impact the expression of important cytokines. Main effect analysis shows that bacterial inoculation and clindamycin treatment have independent and interacting effects on the gene expression profile of the induced membrane, further highlighting that antibiotics play an important role in the regeneration of infected defects apart from their antimicrobial properties.

Abstract
Elucidating the roles and composition of the human skin microbiome has revealed a delicate interplay between resident microbes and wound healing. Evolutionarily speaking, normal cutaneous flora likely has been selected for because it potentiates or, at minimum, does not impede wound healing. While pigs are the gold standard model for wound healing studies, the porcine skin microbiome has not been studied in detail. Herein, we performed 16S rDNA sequencing to characterize the pig skin bacteriome at several anatomical locations. Additionally, we used bacterial conditioned-media with in vitro techniques to examine the paracrine effects of bacterial-derived proteins on human keratinocytes (NHEK) and fibroblasts (NHDF). We found that at the phyla level, the pig skin bacteriome is similar to that of humans and largely consists of Firmicutes (55.6%), Bacteroidetes (20.8%), Actinobacteria (13.3%), and Proteobacteria (5.1%) however species-level differences between anatomical locations exist. Studies of bacterial supernatant revealed location-dependent effects on NHDF migration and NHEK apoptosis and growth factor release. These results expand the limited knowledge of the cutaneous bacteriome of healthy swine, and suggest that naturally occurring bacterial flora affects wound healing differentially depending on anatomical location. Ultimately, the pig might be considered the best surrogate for not only wound healing studies but also the cutaneous microbiome. This would not only facilitate investigations into the microbiome’s role in recovery from injury, but also provide microbial targets for enhancing or accelerating wound healing.

Abstract
Background There is a rapid emergence of multiple resistant gram-negative bacteria due to overuse of antibiotics in the treatment of infections. Biofilms consist of polymicrobial communities that survive the host’s defense system. The key bacteria in biofilms are slow growing and support an attachment and rapid growth of other microorganisms. Current antimicrobial strategies often fail due to poor diagnosis of key pathogens in biofilms. The study aims to develop anti-bacterial human antibodies in vitro from patients who had recently undergone a systemic infection by pathogenic bacteria and to use these antibodies as a tool for detecting bacteria in biofilms. Methods Lymphocytes were separated from whole blood of patients (n = 10) and stimulated with heat-killed bacteria to produce antibodies in vitro. The specificity of antibodies in recognizing the bacteria against which they were directed was evaluated by surface plasmon resonance system (SPR) and electron microscopy. The ulcer secretions from patients with chronic and acute leg ulcers and healthy controls were analyzed by the SPR system and the results were compared with culture studies. Results The produced antibodies recognized bacteria with high sensitivity (SPR). The antibodies against Enterococcus fecalis bound specifically to the microorganism in a bacterial co-culture that was visualized by electron microscopy. Conclusion In the present work, a method for producing specific antibodies against bacteria is introduced to recognize bacterial components in body fluids of patients suffering from pathogenic biofilms. This diagnostic technique may be most useful in clinical microbiology and in the choice of antibiotics in the treatment of serious infections.

Abstract
Wound reepithelialization is a cooperative multifactorial process dominated by keratinocyte migration, proliferation, and differentiation that restores the intact epidermal barrier to prevent infection and excessive moisture loss. However, in wounds that exhibit impaired wound healing, such as chronic nonhealing wounds or hypertrophic scars, the reepithelialization process has failed. Thus, it is necessary to explore a suitable way to mitigate these abnormalities to promote reepithelialization and achieve wound healing. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the capacity for self-renewal as well as potential multipotency. These cells play important roles in many biological processes, including anti-inflammation, cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation, and signal pathway activation or inhibition. The mechanism of the involvement of MSCs in reepithelialization is still not fully understood. An abundance of evidence has shown that MSCs participate in reepithelialization by inhibiting excessive inflammatory responses, secreting important factors, differentiating into multiple skin cell types, and recruiting other host cells. This review describes the evidence for the roles that MSCs appear to play in the reepithelialization process.
