SENP1 facilitates OM-MSC differentiation through activating OPTN-mediated mitophagy to mitigate the neurologic impairment following ICH. iScience 2024; 27:109865. [PMID: 38770132 PMCID: PMC11103578 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.109865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Previous studies have indicated the neuroprotective effect of olfactory mucosa mesenchymal stem cells (OM-MSCs) on brain injury. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) models were established in rats by injecting autologous blood. SENP1 expression was enhanced in neurons but decreased in astrocytes compared to that in OM-MSCs. Overexpression of SENP1 promoted the proliferation and neuronal differentiation, while inhibiting the astrocytic differentiation of OM-MSCs. Conversely, its knockdown had the opposite effect. Moreover, OM-MSCs reduced neurological dysfunction in rats after ICH, and the neuroprotective effect of OM-MSCs could be further enhanced by SENP1 overexpression. In addition, SENP1 promoted mitophagy, which might be related to SENP1-mediated OPTN deSUMOylation. Furthermore, SENP1 promoted neuronal differentiation of OM-MSCs through mitophagy mediated by OPTN. Similar to SENP1, OPTN transfection further enhanced the remission effect of OM-MSC on ICH rats. SENP1 promoted neuronal differentiation of OM-MSCs through OPTN-mediated mitophagy to improve neurological deficits in ICH rats.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) are promising stem cell sources for tissue engineering and cell-based therapy. However, long-term in vitro expansion of ADSCs impedes stemness maintenance, which is partly attributed to deprivation of their original microenvironment. Incompetent cells limit the therapeutic effects of ADSC-based clinical strategies. Therefore, reconstructing a more physiologically and physically relevant niche is an ideal strategy to address this issue and therefore facilitates the extensive application of ADSCs. Here, we transplanted separated ADSCs into local subcutaneous adipose tissues of nude mice as an in vivo cell culture model. We found that transplanted ADSCs maintained their primitive morphology and showed improved proliferation and delayed senescence compared to those of cells cultured in an incubator. Significantly increased expression of stemness-related markers and multilineage differentiation abilities were further observed in in vivo cultured ADSCs. Finally, sequencing revealed that genes whose expression differed between ADSCs obtained under in vivo and in vitro conditions were mainly located in the extracellular matrix and extracellular space and that these genes participate in regulating transcription and protein synthesis. Moreover, we found that an Egr1 signaling pathway might exert a crucial impact on controlling stemness properties. Our findings might collectively pave the way for ADSC-based applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a multifaceted mental disorder marked by a spectrum of symptoms, including hallucinations, delusions, cognitive deficits, and negative symptoms. Its etiology involves intricate interactions between genetic and environmental factors, posing significant challenges for effective treatment. We hypothesized that intranasal administration of exosomes derived from nasal olfactory mucosal mesenchymal stem cells (OM-MSCs-exos) could alleviate SCZ-like behaviors in a murine model induced by methylazoxymethanol (MAM). STUDY DESIGN We conducted a comprehensive investigation to assess the impact of intranasally delivered OM-MSC-exos on SCZ-like behaviors in MAM-induced mice. This study encompassed behavioral assessments, neuroinflammatory markers, glial activation, synaptic protein expression, and neurogenesis within the hippocampus. STUDY RESULTS Our findings demonstrated that intranasal administration of OM-MSC-exos effectively ameliorated SCZ-like behaviors, specifically addressing social withdrawal and sensory gating deficits in the MAM-induced murine model. Furthermore, OM-MSC-exos intervention yielded a reduction in neuroinflammatory markers and a suppression of microglial activation within the hippocampus. Simultaneously, we observed an upregulation of key synaptic protein expression, including PSD95 and TH, the rate-limiting enzyme for dopamine biosynthesis. CONCLUSIONS Our study underscores the therapeutic potential of OM-MSC-exos in mitigating SCZ-like behavior. The OM-MSC-exos have the capacity to modulate glial cell activation, diminish neuroinflammation, and promote BDNF-associated synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis, thus ameliorating SCZ-like behaviors. In summary, intranasal administration of OM-MSC-exos offers a multifaceted approach to address SCZ mechanisms, promising innovative treatments for this intricate disorder.

Hypoxic preconditioning accelerates the healing of ischemic intestinal injury by activating HIF-1α/PPARα pathway-mediated fatty acid oxidation. Cell Death Discov 2024; 10:164. [PMID: 38575595 PMCID: PMC10994932 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-024-01937-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Hypoxic preconditioning (HPC) has been shown to improve organ tolerance to subsequent severe hypoxia or ischemia. However, its impact on intestinal ischemic injury has not been well studied. In this study, we evaluated the effects of HPC on intestinal ischemia in rats. Intestinal rehabilitation, levels of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) by-products, intestinal stem cells (ISCs), levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit α (HIF-1α) and its downstream genes such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (CPT1A) were assessed at distinct time intervals following intestinal ischemia with or without the interference of HIF-1α. Our data showed that HPC facilitates the restoration of the intestinal structure and enhances the FAO, by boosting intestinal stem cells. Additionally, HIF-1α, PPARα, and CPT1A mRNA and their protein levels were generally up-regulated in the small intestine of HPC rats as compared to the control group. Our vitro experiment also shows low-oxygen induces highly levels of HIF-1α and its downstream genes, with a concurrent increase in FAO products in IEC-6 cells. Furthermore, the above phenomenon could be reversed by silencing HIF-1α. In conclusion, we hypothesize that HPC can stimulate the activation of intestinal stem cells via HIF-1α/PPARα pathway-mediated FAO, thereby accelerating the healing process post ischemic intestinal injury.

Hypoxia preconditioning of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells enhances proliferation and migration and promotes their homing via the HGF/C-MET signaling axis to augment the repair of acute liver failure. Tissue Cell 2024; 87:102326. [PMID: 38442547 DOI: 10.1016/j.tice.2024.102326] [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: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a newly developed strategy for treating acute liver failure (ALF). Nonetheless, the low survival rate of MSCs after transplantation and their poor homing to damaged tissues limit the clinical application of MSCs. The research assessed whether hypoxic preconditioning (HPC) can improve the biological activity of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hA-MSCs), promote their homing ability to the liver of mice with ALF, and influence liver tissue repair. METHODS Flow cytometry, CCK8, Transwell, and Western blotting assays were conducted to assess the effects of hypoxic preconditioning on the phenotype, proliferation, and migration of hA-MSCs and the changes in the c-Met and CXCR4 gene expression levels were studied. To evaluate the effects of the transplantation of hypoxic preconditioning of hA-MSCs on the homing and repair of D-galactosamine (D-GalN)/LPS-induced ALF, the mechanism was elucidated by adding c-Met, CXCR4-specific blockers (SU11274 and AMD3100). RESULTS After hypoxia pretreatment (1% oxygen volume fraction), hA-MSCs maintained the morphological characteristics of adherence and vortex colony growth and showed high CD44, CD90, and CD105 and low CD31, CD34, and CD45 expression levels. Hypoxic preconditioning of hA-MSCs significantly increased their proliferation and migration and highly expressed the c-Met and CXCR4 genes. In vivo and in vitro, this migration-promoting effect was suppressed by the c-Met specific blocker SU11274. In the acute liver failure mouse model, the HGF expression level was considerably elevated in the liver than that in the serum, lungs and kidneys. The transplantation of hypoxic preconditioned hA-MSCs introduced a remarkable improvement in the liver function and survival rate of mice with ALF and enhanced the anti-apoptosis ability of liver cells. The anti-apoptotic enhancing effect of hypoxic preconditioning was suppressed by the c-Met specific blocker SU11274. Hypoxic hA-MSCs administration was observed to have considerably increased the fluorescent cells in the liver than that recorded after administering normal oxygen-hA-MSCs. The number of hepatic fluorescent cells decreased remarkably after adding the c-Met inhibitor SU11274, compared to that recorded after hypoxic pretreatment, whereas the effect of c-Met inhibitor SU11274 on normal oxygen-hA-MSCs was not significant. CONCLUSIONS Hypoxic preconditioning depicted no impact on the morphology and phenotype features of the human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells, but it can promote their proliferation, migration, anti-apoptotic effect, and homing rate and improve the repair of acute liver failure, which might be mediated by the HGF/c-Met signaling axis.

Exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells pretreated by monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside alleviate intracerebral hemorrhage by down-regulating autophagy.

[PMID: 38311048 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2024.113960] [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: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) results in substantial morbidity, mortality, and disability. Depleting neural cells in advanced stages of ICH poses a significant challenge to recovery. The objective of our research is to investigate the potential advantages and underlying mechanism of exosomes obtained from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUMSCs) pretreated with monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside (GM1) in the prevention of secondary brain injury (SBI) resulting from ICH. PATIENTS AND METHODS In vitro, hUMSCs were cultured and induced to differentiate into neuron-like cells after they were pretreated with 150 μg/mL GM1. The exosomes extracted from the culture medium following a 6-h pretreatment with 150 μg/mL GM1 were used as the treatment group. Striatal infusion of collagenase and hemoglobin (Hemin) was used to establish in vivo and in vitro models of ICH. RESULTS After being exposed to 150 μg/mL GM1 for 6 h, specific cells displayed typical neuron-like cell morphology and expressed neuron-specific enolase (NSE). The rate of differentiation into neuron-like cells was up to (15.9 ± 5.8) %, and the synthesis of N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GalNAcT), which is upstream of GM1, was detected by Western blot. This study presented an increase in the synthesis of GalNAcT. Compared with the ICH group, apoptosis in the treatment group was remarkably reduced, as detected by TUNEL, and mitochondrial membrane potential was restored by JC-1. Additionally, Western blot revealed the restoration of up-regulated autophagy markers Beclin-1 and LC3 and the down-regulation of autophagy marker p62 after ICH. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that GM1 is an effective agent to induce the differentiation of hUMSCs into neuron-like cells. GM1 can potentially increase GalNAcT production through "positive feedback", which generates more GM1 and promotes the differentiation of hUMSCs. After pretreatment with GM1, exosomes derived from hUMSCs (hUMSCs-Exos) demonstrate a neuroprotective effect by inhibiting autophagy in the ICH model. This study reveals the potential mechanism by which GM1 induces differentiation of hUMSCs into neuron-like cells and confirms the therapeutic effect of hUMSCs-Exos pretreated by GM1 (GM1-Exos) on an ICH model, potentially offering a new direction for stem cell therapy in ICH.

Abstract
Due to its unique structure, articular cartilage has limited abilities to undergo self-repair after injury. Additionally, the repair of articular cartilage after injury has always been a difficult problem in the field of sports medicine. Previous studies have shown that the therapeutic use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their extracellular vesicles (EVs) has great potential for promoting cartilage repair. Recent studies have demonstrated that most transplanted stem cells undergo apoptosis in vivo, and the apoptotic EVs (ApoEVs) that are subsequently generated play crucial roles in tissue repair. Additionally, MSCs are known to exist under low-oxygen conditions in the physiological environment, and these hypoxic conditions can alter the functional and secretory properties of MSCs as well as their secretomes. This study aimed to investigate whether ApoEVs that are isolated from adipose-derived MSCs cultured under hypoxic conditions (hypoxic apoptotic EVs [H-ApoEVs]) exert greater effects on cartilage repair than those that are isolated from cells cultured under normoxic conditions. Through in vitro cell proliferation and migration experiments, we demonstrated that H-ApoEVs exerted enhanced effects on stem cell proliferation, stem cell migration, and bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) M2 polarization compared to ApoEVs. Furthermore, we utilized a modified gelatine matrix/3D-printed extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold complex as a carrier to deliver H-ApoEVs into the joint cavity, thus establishing a cartilage regeneration system. The 3D-printed ECM scaffold provided mechanical support and created a microenvironment that was conducive to cartilage regeneration, and the H-ApoEVs further enhanced the regenerative capacity of endogenous stem cells and the immunomodulatory microenvironment of the joint cavity; thus, this approach significantly promoted cartilage repair. In conclusion, this study confirmed that a ApoEVs delivery system based on a modified gelatine matrix/3D-printed ECM scaffold together with hypoxic preconditioning enhances the functionality of stem cell-derived ApoEVs and represents a promising approach for promoting cartilage regeneration.

[PMID: 38192843 PMCID: PMC10772251 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles responsible for cellular energy production. In addition to regulating energy homeostasis, mitochondria are responsible for calcium homeostasis, clearance of damaged organelles, signaling, and cell survival in the context of injury and pathology. In stroke, the mechanisms underlying brain injury secondary to intracerebral hemorrhage are complex and involve cellular hypoxia, oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and apoptosis. Recent studies have shown that mitochondrial damage and autophagy are essential for neuronal metabolism and functional recovery after intracerebral hemorrhage, and are closely related to inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and other pathological processes. Because hypoxia and inflammatory responses can cause secondary damage after intracerebral hemorrhage, the restoration of mitochondrial function and timely clearance of damaged mitochondria have neuroprotective effects. Based on studies on mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy), cellular inflammation, apoptosis, ferroptosis, the BNIP3 autophagy gene, pharmacological and other regulatory approaches, and normobaric oxygen (NBO) therapy, this article further explores the neuroprotective role of mitophagy after intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) exhibit self-renewal capacity and multilineage differentiation potential, making them attractive for research and clinical application. The properties of MSC can vary depending on specific micro-environmental factors. MSC resides in specific niches with low oxygen concentrations, where oxygen functions as a metabolic substrate and a signaling molecule. Conventional physical incubators or chemically hypoxia mimetic agents are applied in cultures to mimic the original low oxygen tension settings where MSC originated. This review aims to focus on the current knowledge of the effects of various physical hypoxic conditions and widely used hypoxia-mimetic agents-PHD inhibitors on mesenchymal stem cells at a cellular and molecular level, including proliferation, stemness, differentiation, viability, apoptosis, senescence, migration, immunomodulation behaviors, as well as epigenetic changes.

Microglial FoxO3a deficiency ameliorates ferroptosis-induced brain injury of intracerebral haemorrhage via regulating autophagy and heme oxygenase-1. J Cell Mol Med 2024; 28:e18007.

Abstract
Microglial HO-1 regulates iron metabolism in the brain. Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) shares features of ferroptosis and necroptosis; hemin is an oxidized product of haemoglobin from lysed red blood cells, leading to secondary injury. However, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms attributable to secondary injury by hemin or ICH. In this study, we first show that FoxO3a was highly co-located with neurons and microglia but not astrocytes area of ICH model mice. Hemin activated FoxO3a/ATG-mediated autophagy and HO-1 signalling resulting in ferroptosis in vitro and in a mice model of brain haemorrhage. Accordingly, autophagy inhibitor Baf-A1 or HO-1 inhibitor ZnPP protected against hemin-induced ferroptosis. Hemin promoted ferroptosis of neuronal cells via FoxO3a/ATG-mediated autophagy and HO-1 signalling pathway. Knock-down of FoxO3a inhibited autophagy and prevented hemin-induced ferroptosis dependent of HO-1 signalling. We first showed that hemin stimulated microglial FoxO3a/HO-1 expression and enhanced the microglial polarisation towards the M1 phenotype, while knockdown of microglial FoxO3a inhibited pro-inflammatory cytokine production in microglia. Furthermore, the microglia activation in the striatum showed significant along with a high expression level of FoxO3a in the ICH mice. We found that conditional knockout of FoxO3a in microglia in mice alleviated neurological deficits and microglia activation as well as ferroptosis-induced striatum injury in the autologous blood-induced ICH model. We demonstrate, for the first time, that FoxO3a/ATG-mediated autophagy and HO-1 play an important role in microglial activation and ferroptosis-induced striatum injury of ICH, identifying a new therapeutic avenue for the treatment of ICH.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most prevalent and lethal class of severe motor neuron diseases (MND) with no efficacious treatment. The pathogenic mechanisms underlying ALS remain unclear. Nearly 90% of patients exhibit sporadic onset (sALS). Therefore, elucidating the pathophysiology of ALS is imperative. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a large class of non-coding RNAs that regulate transcription, translation, and post-translational processes. LncRNAs contribute to the pathogenesis of diverse neurodegenerative disorders and hold promise as targets for interference in the realm of neurodegeneration. However, the mechanisms of which lncRNAs are involved in ALS have not been thoroughly investigated. We identified and validated a downregulated lncRNA, lnc-HIBADH-4, in ALS which correlated with disease severity and overall survival. Lnc-HIBADH-4 acted as a "molecular sponge" regulating lysosomal function through the lnc-HIBADH-4/miR-326/CTSD pathway, thereby impacting autophagy-lysosome dynamics and the levels of cell proliferation and apoptosis. Therefore, this study discovered and revealed the role of lnc-HIBADH-4 in the pathogenesis of ALS. With further research, lnc-HIBADH-4 is expected to provide a new biomarker in the diagnosis and treatment of ALS.

Abstract
Survival of olfactory mucosal mesenchymal stem cells (OM-MSCs) remains the low level in the cerebral microenvironment during intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This article aims to reveal the differential expression profile of ICH-stimulated OM-MSCs based on whole transcriptome sequence analysis. OM-MSCs were isolated from 6-week C57BL/6 mice. Morphology and surface markers of OM-MSCs were investigated by light microscope and flow cytometry, respectively. OM-MSCs were incubated with 20 U/mL thrombin for 24 h to mimic ICH-induced injury in vitro. Total RNA was extracted for whole transcriptome sequencing and qPCR. OM-MSCs were characterized by negative for CD45 and CD34, and positive for CD44, CD90 and CD29. Thrombin led to decrease in cell viability and increase in senescence and apoptosis in OM-MSCs. In total, 736 lncRNAs (upregulated: 393; downregulated: 343), 21 miRNAs (upregulated: 7; downregulated: 14) and 807 mRNAs (upregulated: 422; downregulated: 385) were identified. GO and KEGG pathways were enriched in protein heterodimerization activity, trans-synaptic signaling, membrane pathway, alcohol metabolic process, organic hydroxy compound biosynthesis process, secondary alcohol metabolic process, alcoholism, neutrophil extracellular trap formation, systemic lupus erythematosus, metabolic process, steroid biosynthesis and drug metabolism-cytochrome P450. 200 lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA were predicted in thrombin-induced OM-MSCs. Based on qPCR, we validated COMMD1B, MOAP1, lncRNA CAPN15, lncRNA ALDH1L2, miR-3473b and miR-1964-3p were upregulated in thrombin-stimulated OM-MSCs, and GM20431, lncRNA GAPDH and miR-122b-3p were downregulated. Our findings provide novel understanding for thrombin-induced injury in OM-MSCs. Differently-expressed RNAs can be the targets of improving therapeutic application of OM-MSCs.

Abstract
In cell transplantation therapy, mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)are ideal seed cells due to their easy acquisition and cultivation, strong regenerative capacity, multi-directional differentiation abilities, and immunomodulatory effects. Autologous MSCs are better applicable compared with allogeneic MSCs in clinical practice. The elderly are the main population for cell transplantation therapy, but as donor aging, MSCs in the tissue show aging-related changes. When the number of generations of in vitro expansion is increased, MSCs will also exhibit replicative senescence. The quantity and quality of MSCs decline during aging, which limits the efficacy of autologous MSCs transplantation therapy. In this review, we examine the changes in MSC senescence as a result of aging, discuss the progress of research on mechanisms and signalling pathways of MSC senescence, and discuss possible rejuvenation strategies of aged MSCs to combat senescence and enhance the health and therapeutic potential of MSCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Refractory epilepsy is also known as drug-resistant epilepsy with limited clinical treatment. Benefitting from its safety and easy availability, olfactory mucosa mesenchymal stem cells (OM-MSCs) are considered a preferable MSC source for clinical application. This study aims to investigate whether OM-MSCs are a promising alternative source for treating refractory epilepsy clinically and uncover the mechanism by OM-MSCs administration on an epileptic mouse model. METHODS OM-MSCs were isolated from turbinal and characterized by flow cytometry. Autologous human OM-MSCs treatment on a patient was carried out using intrathecal administration. Epileptic mouse model was established by 1 mg/kg scopolamine and 300 mg/kg pilocarpine treatment (intraperitoneal). Stereotaxic microinjection was employed to deliver the mouse OM-MSCs. Mouse electroencephalograph recording was used to investigate the seizures. Brain structure was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent staining of GFAP, IBA1, MAP2, TUBB3, OLIG2, CD4, CD25, and FOXP3 was carried out to investigate the neural cells and Treg cells. QRT-PCR and ELISA were performed to determine the cytokines (Il1b, Il6, Tnf, Il10) on mRNA and protein level. Y-maze, the object location test, and novel object recognition test were performed to measure the cognitive function. Footprint test, rotarod test, balance beam test, and grip strength test were conducted to evaluate the locomotive function. Von Frey testing was carried out to assess the mechanical allodynia. RESULTS Many beneficial effects of the OM-MSC treatment on disease status, including seizure type, frequency, severity, duration, and cognitive function, and no apparent adverse effects were observed at the 8-year follow-up case. Brain MRI indicated that autologous OM-MSC treatment alleviated brain atrophy in epilepsy patients. A study in an epileptic mouse model revealed that OM-MSC treatment recruited Treg cells to the brain, inhibited inflammation, rebuilt the neural network, and improved the cognitive, locomotive, and perceptive functions of epileptic mice. CONCLUSIONS Autologous OM-MSC treatment is efficacious for improving chronic refractory epilepsy, suggesting a future therapeutic candidate for epilepsy. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered with Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200055357).

Abstract
Although mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation provides an alternative strategy for end-stage liver disease (ESLD), further widespread application of MSC therapy is limited owing to low cell engraftment efficiency. Improving cell engraftment efficiency plays a critical role in enhancing MSC therapy for liver diseases. In this review, we summarize the current status and challenges of MSC transplantation for ESLD. We also outline the complicated cell-homing process and highlight how low cell engraftment efficiency is closely related to huge differences in extracellular conditions involved in MSC homing journeys ranging from constant, controlled conditions in vitro to variable and challenging conditions in vivo. Improving cell survival and homing capabilities enhances MSC engraftment efficacy. Therefore, we summarize the current strategies, including hypoxic priming, drug pretreatment, gene modification, and cytokine pretreatment, as well as splenectomy and local irradiation, used to improve MSC survival and homing capability, and enhance cell engraftment and therapeutic efficiency of MSC therapy. We hope that this review will provide new insights into enhancing the efficiency of MSC engraftment in liver diseases.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy has emerged as a promising strategy for the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the hostile microenvironment of SCI, which can adversely affect the survival and paracrine effect of the implanted MSCs, severely limits the therapeutic efficacy of this approach. Here, we report on a ceria nanozyme-integrated thermoresponsive in situ forming hydrogel (CeNZ-gel) that can enable dual enhancement of MSC viability and paracrine effect, leading to highly efficient spinal cord repair. The sol-gel transition property of the CeNZ-gel at body temperature ensures uniform coverage of the hydrogel in injured spinal cord tissues. Our results demonstrate that the CeNZ-gel significantly increases the viability of transplanted MSCs in the microenvironment by attenuating oxidative stress and, more importantly, promotes the secretion of angiogenic factors from MSCs by inducing autophagy of MSCs. The synergy between the oxidative stress-relieving effect of CeNZs and the paracrine effect of MSCs accelerates angiogenesis, nerve repair, and motor function recovery after SCI, providing an efficient strategy for MSC-based SCI therapy.

Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) causes severe morbidity and mortality among newborn piglets. It significantly threatens the porcine industry in China and around the globe. To accelerate the developmental pace of drugs or vaccines against PEDV, a deeper understanding of the interaction between viral proteins and host factors is crucial. The RNA-binding protein, polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 (PTBP1), is crucial for controlling RNA metabolism and biological processes. The present work focused on exploring the effect of PTBP1 on PEDV replication. PTBP1 was upregulated during PEDV infection. The PEDV nucleocapsid (N) protein was degraded through the autophagic and proteasomal degradation pathways. Moreover, PTBP1 recruits MARCH8 (an E3 ubiquitin ligase) and NDP52 (a cargo receptor) for N protein catalysis and degradation through selective autophagy. Furthermore, PTBP1 induces the host innate antiviral response via upregulating the expression of MyD88, which then regulates TNF receptor-associated factor 3/ TNF receptor-associated factor 6 expression and induces the phosphorylation of TBK1 and IFN regulatory factor 3. These processes activate the type Ⅰ IFN signaling pathway to antagonize PEDV replication. Collectively, this work illustrates a new mechanism related to PTBP1-induced viral restriction, where PTBP1 degrades the viral N protein and induces type Ⅰ IFN production to suppress PEDV replication.

Curcumin preconditioning enhances the neuroprotective effects of olfactory mucosa-derived mesenchymal stem cells on experimental intracerebral hemorrhage. Heliyon 2023; 9:e17874.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is essential in brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Ferroptosis, iron-dependent oxidative cell death, overwhelms the antioxidant system. Recently, Olfactory mucosa-derived mesenchymal stem cells (OM-MSCs) hold great potential for treating ferroptosis-mediated oxidative brain damage after ICH. However, massive grafted cell death, possibly caused by a hostile host brain microenvironment, lessens the effectiveness of OM-MSCs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop strategies to upregulate the therapeutic efficacy of OM-MSCs in ICH. Curcumin, a well-established traditional herbal substance, has potent antioxidant property. In the present study, curcumin preconditioning might enhance the anti-oxidative activity of OM-MSCs, thereby augmenting the therapeutic efficacy of OM-MSCs in ICH. In vitro model of ICH, we demonstrated that curcumin-preconditioned OM-MSCs co-culture is more effective in attenuating the cell injury, oxidative stress, and ferroptosis of neuronal cells compared to the native OM-MSCs treatment. In vivo model of ICH, transplantation of curcumin-preconditioned OM-MSCs also showed better neuroprotective effects. Moreover, curcumin pretreatment promoted the survival of OM-MSCs under a conditioned medium from hemin-insulted neurons by improving the anti-oxidative capacities of OM-MSCs. Collectively, our investigation suggested that curcumin preconditioning effectively enhanced the survival and neuroprotective effects of OM-MSCs in the ICH model by upregulating the anti-oxidative capacities of OM-MSCs. Curcumin-preconditioned OM-MSCs might be taken as a novel therapeutic strategy for treating ICH.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs)-based therapy brings the reassuring capability to regenerative medicine through their self-renewal and multilineage potency. Also, they secret a diversity of mediators, which are complicated in moderation of deregulated immune responses, and yielding angiogenesis in vivo. Nonetheless, MSCs may lose biological performance after procurement and prolonged expansion in vitro. Also, following transplantation and migration to target tissue, they encounter a harsh milieu accompanied by death signals because of the lack of proper tensegrity structure between the cells and matrix. Accordingly, pre-conditioning of MSCs is strongly suggested to upgrade their performances in vivo, leading to more favored transplantation efficacy in regenerative medicine. Indeed, MSCs ex vivo pre-conditioning by hypoxia, inflammatory stimulus, or other factors/conditions may stimulate their survival, proliferation, migration, exosome secretion, and pro-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory characteristics in vivo. In this review, we deliver an overview of the pre-conditioning methods that are considered a strategy for improving the therapeutic efficacy of MSCs in organ failures, in particular, renal, heart, lung, and liver.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as promising cell-based therapies in the treatment of degenerative and inflammatory conditions. However, despite accumulating evidence of the breadth of MSC functional potency, their broad clinical translation is hampered by inconsistencies in therapeutic efficacy, which is at least partly due to the phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of MSC populations as they progress towards senescence in vitro. MSC senescence, a natural response to aging and stress, gives rise to altered cellular responses and functional decline. This review describes the key regenerative properties of MSCs; summarises the main triggers, mechanisms, and consequences of MSC senescence; and discusses current cellular and extracellular strategies to delay the onset or progression of senescence, or to rejuvenate biological functions lost to senescence.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive and life-threatening disease characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling, which may cause right heart failure and even death. Accumulated evidence confirmed that microRNA-26 family play critical roles in cardiovascular disease; however, their function in PAH remains largely unknown. Here, we investigated the expression of miR-26 family in plasma from PAH patients using quantitative RT-PCR, and identified miR-26a-5p as the most downregulated member, which was also decreased in hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell (PASMC) autophagy models and lung tissues of PAH patients. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis and luciferase reporter assays revealed that hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) specifically interacted with the promoter of miR-26a-5p and inhibited its expression in PASMCs. Tandem mRFP-GFP-LC3B fluorescence microscopy demonstrated that miR-26a-5p inhibited hypoxia-induced PAMSC autophagy, characterized by reduced formation of autophagosomes and autolysosomes. In addition, results showed that miR-26a-5p overexpression potently inhibited PASMC proliferation and migration, as determined by cell counting kit-8, EdU staining, wound-healing, and transwell assays. Mechanistically, PFKFB3, ULK1, and ULK2 were direct targets of miR-26a-5p, as determined by dual-luciferase reporter gene assays and western blots. Meanwhile, PFKFB3 could further enhance the phosphorylation level of ULK1 and promote autophagy in PASMCs. Moreover, intratracheal administration of adeno-miR-26a-5p markedly alleviated right ventricular hypertrophy and pulmonary vascular remodeling in hypoxia-induced PAH rat models in vivo. Taken together, the HIF-1α/miR-26a-5p/PFKFB3/ULK1/2 axis plays critical roles in the regulation of hypoxia-induced PASMC autophagy and proliferation. MiR-26a-5p may represent as an attractive biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment of PAH.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease with multifactorial pathogenesis. However, most current therapeutic approaches for AD target a single pathophysiological mechanism, generally resulting in unsatisfactory therapeutic outcomes. Recently, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy, which targets multiple pathological mechanisms of AD, has been explored as a novel treatment. However, the low brain retention efficiency of administered MSCs limits their therapeutic efficacy. In addition, autologous MSCs from AD patients may have poor therapeutic abilities. Here, we overcome these limitations by developing iron oxide nanoparticle (IONP)-incorporated human Wharton's jelly-derived MSCs (MSC-IONPs). IONPs promote therapeutic molecule expression in MSCs. Following intracerebroventricular injection, MSC-IONPs showed a higher brain retention efficiency under magnetic guidance. This potentiates the therapeutic efficacy of MSCs in murine models of AD. Furthermore, human Wharton's jelly-derived allogeneic MSCs may exhibit higher therapeutic abilities than those of autologous MSCs in aged AD patients. This strategy may pave the way for developing MSC therapies for AD.

Differential Effects of Cytokine Versus Hypoxic Preconditioning of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Pulmonary Sepsis Induced by Antimicrobial-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Abstract
Background: Pulmonary sepsis is a leading cause of hospital mortality, and sepses arising from antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacterial strains are particularly difficult to treat. Here we investigated the potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to combat established Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumosepsis and further evaluated MSC preconditioning and pre-activation methods. Methods: The potential for naïve and preconditioned MSCs to enhance wound healing, reduce inflammation, preserve metabolic activity, and enhance bacterial killing was assessed in vitro. Rats were subjected to intratracheal K. pneumoniae followed by the intravenous administration of MSCs. Physiological indices, blood, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and tissues were obtained 72 h later. Results: In vitro assays confirmed that preconditioning enhances MSC function, accelerating pulmonary epithelial wound closure, reducing inflammation, attenuating cell death, and increasing bacterial killing. Cytomix-pre-activated MSCs are superior to naïve and hypoxia-exposed MSCs in attenuating Klebsiella pneumosepsis, improving lung compliance and oxygenation, reducing bacteria, and attenuating histologic injuries in lungs. BAL inflammatory cytokines were reduced, correlating with decreases in polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells. MSCs increased PMN apoptosis and the CD4:CD8 ratio in BAL. Systemically, granulocytes, classical monocytes, and the CD4:CD8 ratio were reduced, and nonclassical monocytes were increased. Conclusions: Preconditioning with cytokines, but not hypoxia, enhances the therapeutic potential of MSCs in clinically relevant models of K. pneumoniae-induced pneumosepsis.

Abstract
Mesenchymal/medicinal stem/signaling cells (MSCs), well known for regenerative potential, have been involved in hundreds of clinical trials. Even if equipped with reparative properties, aging significantly decreases their biological activity, representing a major challenge for MSC-based therapies. Age-related joint diseases, such as osteoarthritis, are associated with the accumulation of senescent cells, including synovial MSCs. An impaired ability of MSCs to self-renew and differentiate is one of the main contributors to the human aging process. Moreover, senescent MSCs (sMSCs) are characterized by the senescence-messaging secretome (SMS), which is typically manifested by the release of molecules with an adverse effect. Many factors, from genetic and metabolic pathways to environmental stressors, participate in the regulation of the senescent phenotype of MSCs. To better understand cellular senescence in MSCs, this review discusses the characteristics of sMSCs, their role in cartilage and synovial joint aging, and current rejuvenation approaches to delay/reverse age-related pathological changes, providing evidence from in vivo experiments as well.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most common subtype of hemorrhagic stroke. After ICH, blood components extravasate from vessels into the brain, activating immune cells and causing them to release a series of inflammatory mediators. Immune cells, together with inflammatory mediators, lead to neuroinflammation in the perihematomal region and the whole brain, and neuroinflammation is closely related to secondary brain injury as well as functional recovery of the brain. Despite recent progress in understanding the pathophysiology of ICH, there is still no effective treatment for this disease. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs 17-25 nucleotides in length that are generated naturally in the human body. They bind complementarily to messenger RNAs and suppress translation, thus regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. They have been found to regulate the pathophysiological process of ICH, particularly the neuroinflammatory cascade. Multiple preclinical studies have shown that manipulating the expression and activity of miRNAs can modulate immune cell activities, influence neuroinflammatory responses, and ultimately affect neurological functions after ICH. This implicates the potentially crucial roles of miRNAs in post-ICH neuroinflammation and indicates the possibility of applying miRNA-based therapeutics for this disease. Thus, this review aims to address the pathophysiological roles and molecular underpinnings of miRNAs in the regulation of neuroinflammation after ICH. With a more sophisticated understanding of ICH and miRNAs, it is possible to translate these findings into new pharmacological therapies for ICH.

Abstract
Senescence is defined as a gradual weakening of functional features of a living organism. Cellular senescence is a process that is principally aimed to remove undesirable cells by prompting tissue remodeling. This process is also regarded as a defense mechanism induced by cellular damage. In the course of oncogenesis, senescence can limit tumor progression. However, senescence participates in the pathoetiology of several disorders such as fibrotic disorders, vascular disorders, diabetes, renal disorders and sarcopenia. Recent studies have revealed contribution of different classes of non-coding RNAs in the cellular senescence. Long non-coding RNAs, microRNAs and circular RNAs are three classes of these transcripts whose contributions in this process have been more investigated. In the current review, we summarize the available literature on the impact of these transcripts in the cellular senescence.

Abstract
Non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage is a highly destructive intracranial disease with high mortality and morbidity rates. The main risk factors for cerebral hemorrhage include hypertension, amyloidosis, vasculitis, drug abuse, coagulation dysfunction, and genetic factors. Clinically, surviving patients with intracerebral hemorrhage exhibit different degrees of neurological deficits after discharge. In recent years, with the development of regenerative medicine, an increasing number of researchers have begun to pay attention to stem cell and exosome therapy as a new method for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage, owing to their intrinsic potential in neuroprotection and neurorestoration. Many animal studies have shown that stem cells can directly or indirectly participate in the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage through regeneration, differentiation, or secretion. However, considering the uncertainty of its safety and efficacy, clinical studies are still lacking. This article reviews the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage using stem cells and exosomes from both preclinical and clinical studies and summarizes the possible mechanisms of stem cell therapy. This review aims to provide a reference for future research and new strategies for clinical treatment.

Abstract
Neurological disorders include a wide spectrum of clinical conditions affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems. For these conditions, which affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide, generally limited or no treatments are available, and cell-based therapies have been intensively investigated in preclinical and clinical studies. Among the available cell types, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have been widely studied but as yet no cell-based treatment exists for neurological disease. We review current knowledge of the therapeutic potential of MSC-based therapies for neurological diseases, as well as possible mechanisms of action that may be explored to hasten the development of new and effective treatments. We also discuss the challenges for culture conditions, quality control, and the development of potency tests, aiming to generate more efficient cell therapy products for neurological disorders.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a common lethal subtype of stroke accounting for nearly 10–15% of the total stroke disease and affecting two million people worldwide, has a high mortality and disability rate and, thus, a major socioeconomic burden. However, there is no effective treatment available currently. The role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in regenerative medicine is well known owing to the simplicity of acquisition from various sources, low immunogenicity, adaptation to the autogenic and allogeneic systems, immunomodulation, self-recovery by secreting extracellular vesicles (EVs), regenerative repair, and antioxidative stress. MSC therapy provides an increasingly attractive therapeutic approach for ICH. Recently, the functions of MSCs such as neuroprotection, anti-inflammation, and improvement in synaptic plasticity have been widely researched in human and rodent models of ICH. MSC transplantation has been proven to improve ICH-induced injury, including the damage of nerve cells and oligodendrocytes, the activation of microglia and astrocytes, and the destruction of blood vessels. The improvement and recovery of neurological functions in rodent ICH models were demonstrated via the mechanisms such as neurogenesis, angiogenesis, anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis, and synaptic plasticity. Here, we discuss the pathological mechanisms following ICH and the therapeutic mechanisms of MSC-based therapy to unravel new cues for future therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, some potential strategies for enhancing the therapeutic function of MSC transplantation have also been suggested.

Abstract
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved intracellular system that routes distinct cytoplasmic cargo to lysosomes for degradation and recycling. Accumulating evidence highlight the mechanisms of autophagy, such as clearance of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and damaged organelles. The critical role of autophagy in selective degradation of the transcriptome is still emerging and could shape the total proteome of the cell, and thus can regulate the homeostasis under stressful conditions. Unregulated autophagy that potentiates secondary brain damage is a key pathological features of acute CNS injuries such as stroke and traumatic brain injury. This review discussed the mutual modulation of autophagy and RNA and its significance in mediating the functional consequences of acute CNS injuries.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) therapy has been a cornerstone of regenerative medicine in humans and animals since their identification in 1968. MSCs can interact and modulate the activity of practically all cellular components of the immune response, either through cell-cell contact or paracrine secretion of soluble mediators, which makes them an attractive alternative to conventional therapies for the treatment of chronic inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases. Many of the mechanisms described as necessary for MSCs to modulate the immune/inflammatory response appear to be dependent on the animal species and source. Although there is evidence demonstrating an in vitro immunomodulatory effect of MSCs, there are disparate results between the beneficial effect of MSCs in preclinical models and their actual use in clinical diseases. This discordance might be due to cells' limited survival or impaired function in the inflammatory environment after transplantation. This limited efficacy may be due to several factors, including the small amount of MSCs inoculated, MSC administration late in the course of the disease, low MSC survival rates in vivo, cryopreservation and thawing effects, and impaired MSC potency/biological activity. Multiple physical and chemical pre-conditioning strategies can enhance the survival rate and potency of MSCs; this paper focuses on hypoxic conditions, with inflammatory cytokines, or with different pattern recognition receptor ligands. These different pre-conditioning strategies can modify MSCs metabolism, gene expression, proliferation, and survivability after transplantation.

Abstract
In the past decade, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), and extracellular vesicles (EVs) may play a major role in the efficacy of this treatment. Hypoxia can change the cargo and biological functions of MSC-derived EVs (MSC-EVs). The aim of the present study was to determine whether the effects of hypoxia-preconditioned MSC-EVs on OA cartilage repair are superior to normoxia-preconditioned MSC-EVs. By using in vitro and in vivo OA models, we verified that hypoxia-preconditioned MSC-EVs improved chondrocyte proliferation and migration and suppressed chondrocyte apoptosis to a greater extent than normoxia-preconditioned MSC-EVs. Furthermore, we found that hypoxia altered the microRNA expression in MSC-EVs and identified four differentially expressed microRNAs: hsa-miR-181c-5p, hsa-miR-18a-3p, hsa-miR-376a-5p, and hsa-miR-337-5p. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that hypoxic pretreatment may promote cartilage repair by stimulating chondrocyte proliferation and migration and suppressing chondrocyte apoptosis through the miRNA-18-3P/JAK/STAT or miRNA-181c-5p/MAPK signaling pathway. Therefore, hypoxia-preconditioned EVs may be a novel treatment for OA.

Abstract
Neurological diseases represent one of the main causes of disability in human life. Consequently, investigating new strategies capable of improving the quality of life in neurological patients is necessary. For decades, researchers have been working to improve the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) therapy based on MSCs’ regenerative and immunomodulatory properties and multilinear differentiation potential. Therefore, strategies such as MSCs preconditioning are useful to improve their application to restore damaged neuronal circuits following neurological insults. This review is focused on preconditioning MSCs therapy as a potential application to major neurological diseases. The aim of our work is to summarize both the in vitro and in vivo studies that demonstrate the efficacy of MSC preconditioning on neuronal regeneration and cell survival as a possible application to neurological damage.

Abstract
Olfactory ensheathing cell (OEC) transplantation is emerging as a promising treatment option for injuries of the nervous system. OECs can be obtained relatively easily from nasal biopsies, and exhibit several properties such as secretion of trophic factors, and phagocytosis of debris that facilitate neural regeneration and repair. But a major limitation of OEC-based cell therapies is the poor survival of transplanted cells which subsequently limit their therapeutic efficacy. There is an unmet need for approaches that enable the in vitro production of OECs in a state that will optimize their survival and integration after transplantation into the hostile injury site. Here, we present an overview of the strategies to modulate OECs focusing on oxygen levels, stimulating migratory, phagocytic, and secretory properties, and on bioengineering a suitable environment in vitro.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into multiple cell lines, which makes them an important source of cells for tissue engineering applications. They are defined by the capability to renew themselves and maintain pluripotency. This ability is modulated by the balance between complex cues from cellular microenvironment. Self-renewal and differentiation abilities are regulated by particular microenvironmental signals. Oxygen is considered to be an important part of cell microenvironment, which not only acts as a metabolic substrate but also a signal molecule. It has been proved that MSCs are hypoxic in the physiological environment. Signals from MSCs' microenvironment or niche which means the anatomical location of the MSCs, maintain the final properties of MSCs. Physiological conditions like oxygen tension are deemed to be a significant part of the mesenchymal stem cell niche, and have been proved to be involved in modulating embryonic and adult MSCs. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which play a key role in cell signal transduction, transcription and translation of genes, have been widely concerned as epigenetic regulators in a great deal of tissues. With the rapid development of bioinformatics analysis tools and high-throughput RNA sequencing technology, more and more evidences show that ncRNAs play a key role in tissue regeneration. It shows potential as a biomarker of MSC differentiation. In this paper, we reviewed the physiological correlation of hypoxia as a unique environmental parameter which is conducive to MSC expansion and maintenance, discussed the correlation of tissue engineering, and summarized the influence of hypoxia related ncRNAs on MSCs' fate and regeneration. This review will provide reference for future research of MSCs' regeneration.
