Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther 2024:1-17. [PMID: 38804866 DOI: 10.1080/14787210.2024.2360684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The emergence of antiparasitic drug resistance poses a concerning threat to animals and humans. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have been widely used to treat infections in humans, pets, and livestock. Although this is an emerging field of study, the current review outlines possible mechanisms and examines potential synergism in combination therapies and the possible harmful effects of such an approach. AREAS COVERED The present study delved into the latest pre-clinical research on utilizing MSCs to treat parasitic infections. As per investigations, the introduction of MSCs to patients grappling with parasitic diseases like schistosomiasis, malaria, cystic echinococcosis, toxoplasmosis, leishmaniasis, and trypanosomiasis has shown a reduction in parasite prevalence. This intervention also alters the levels of both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, the combined administration of MSCs and antiparasitic drugs has demonstrated enhanced efficacy in combating parasites and modulating the immune response. EXPERT OPINION Mesenchymal stem cells are a potential solution for addressing parasitic drug resistance. This is mainly because of their remarkable immunomodulatory abilities, which can potentially help combat parasites' resistance to drugs.

Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 132:112000. [PMID: 38583238 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112000] [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: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 03/31/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
Various studies have been investigated the phenotypic and functional distinctions of craniofacial and long bone cells involved in bone regeneration. However, the process of bone tissue regeneration after bone grafting involves complicated interactions between different cell types at the donor-recipient site. Additionally, differences in alterations of the immune microenvironment at the recipient site remained to be explored. Osteoblasts (OBs) and macrophages (MØ) play essential roles in the bone restoration and regeneration processes in the bone and immune systems, respectively. The modulation of MØ on OBs has been extensively explored in the literature, whereas limited research has been conducted on the influence of OBs on the MØ phenotype and function. In the present study, OBs from the mandible and femur (MOBs and FOBs, respectively) promoted cranial defect regeneration in rats, with better outcomes noted in the MOBs-treated group. After MOBs transplantation, a significant inflammatory response was induced, accompanied by an early increase in IL-10 secretion. And then, there was an upregulation in M2-MØ-related cell markers and inflammatory factor expression. Condition media (CM) of OBs mildly inhibited apoptosis in MØ, enhanced their migration and phagocytic functions, and concurrently increased iNOS and Arg1 expression, with MOB-CM demonstrating more pronounced effects compared to FOB-CM. In conclusion, our investigation showed that MOBs and FOBs have the ability to modulate MØ phenotype and function, with MOBs exhibiting a stronger regulatory potential. These findings provide a new direction for improving therapeutic strategies for bone regeneration in autologous bone grafts from the perspective of the immune microenvironment.

Acta Biomater 2024; 180:262-278. [PMID: 38579918 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.04.001] [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: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024]
Abstract
Given the crucial role of periosteum in bone repair, the use of artificial periosteum to induce spontaneous bone healing instead of using bone substitutes has become a potential strategy. Also, the proper transition from pro-inflammatory signals to anti-inflammatory signals is pivotal for achieving optimal repair outcomes. Hence, we designed an artificial periosteum loaded with a filamentous bacteriophage clone named P11, featuring an aligned fiber morphology. P11 endowed the artificial periosteum with the capacity to recruit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). The artificial periosteum also regulated the immune microenvironment at the bone injury site through the synergistic effects of biochemical factors and topography. Specifically, the inclusion of P11 preserved inflammatory signaling in macrophages and additionally facilitated the migration of BMSCs. Subsequently, aligned fibers stimulated macrophages, inducing alterations in cytoskeletal and metabolic activities, resulting in the polarization into the M2 phenotype. This progression encouraged the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and promoted vascularization. In vivo experiments showed that the new bone generated in the AP group exhibited the most efficient healing pattern. Overall, the integration of biochemical factors with topographical considerations for sequential immunomodulation during bone repair indicates a promising approach for artificial periosteum development. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The appropriate transition of macrophages from a pro-inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory phenotype is pivotal for achieving optimal bone repair outcomes. Hence, we designed an artificial periosteum featuring an aligned fiber morphology and loaded with specific phage clones. The artificial periosteum not only fostered the recruitment of BMSCs but also achieved sequential regulation of the immune microenvironment through the synergistic effects of biochemical factors and topography, and improved the effect of bone repair. This study indicates that the integration of biochemical factors with topographical considerations for sequential immunomodulation during bone repair is a promising approach for artificial periosteum development.

Abstract
The oxidative microenvironment in fibrotic livers often diminishes the effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-based therapy. Recent research suggests that pharmacological pre-treatment could enhance the therapeutic performance of MSCs. In this study, we assessed the impact of Arctium lappa L. polysaccharides (ALP) on the biological properties of nasal ectomesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs) and investigated the augmenting effect of ALP pretreatment on EMSCs (ALP-EMSCs) for the treatment of liver fibrosis. ALP treatment demonstrated multiple biological impacts on EMSC functions regarding liver fibrosis: firstly, it maintained the stemness of the cells while boosting the EMSCs' paracrine effects; secondly, it increased the expression of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant factors; thirdly, it inhibited the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and liver collagen build-up by modulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. Collectively, these effects helped to halt the progression of liver fibrosis. Therefore, the use of ALP-EMSCs presents an innovative and promising approach for treating hepatic fibrosis in clinical scenarios.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with an unknown etiology that has widespread clinical and immunological manifestations. Despite the increase in knowledge about the pathogenesis process and the increase in treatment options, however, the treatments fail in half of the cases. Therefore, there is still a need for research on new therapies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are powerful regulators of the immune system and can reduce the symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus. This study aimed to review the mechanisms of immune system modulation by MSCs and the role of these cells in the treatment of SLE. MSCs suppress T lymphocytes through various mechanisms, including the production of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-B), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), nitric oxide (NO), and indolamine 2 and 3-oxygenase (IDO). In addition, MSCs inhibit the production of their autoantibodies by inhibiting the differentiation of lymphocytes. The production of autoantibodies against nuclear antigens is an important feature of SLE. On the other hand, MSCs inhibit antigen delivery by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) to T lymphocytes. Studies in animal models have shown the effectiveness of these cells in treating SLE. However, few studies have been performed on the effectiveness of this treatment in humans. It can be expected that new treatment strategies for SLE will be introduced in the future, given the promising results of MSCs application.

Abstract
Bone marrow, a soft spongy tissue, is containing mesenchymal stem cells, that are well-recognized according to their self-renewability and stemness. Therefore, we hypothesized that bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) could have a pivotal influence on the process of wound healing in particular when it is combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Thirty-six albino mice (BALB/c) were used in the study and they were grouped as negative-control, PRP treated, BMAC treated and BMAC plus PRP treated. An incisional wound (1 cm2) was made at the back of mouse and their wounds were treated according to their treatment plan and group allocations. Later, the skin at the treated wound sites was collected on days 7, 14, and 21 for histopathological investigation. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in BMAC+PRP-treated wounds over the rest of the treated groups in the acceleration of wound healing throughout the experiment by increasing the rate of wound contraction, re-epithelization process, and granulation tissue intensity with fluctuated infiltration in the number of the neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes, also restoration of the epidermal and dermal thickness with less scarring and hair follicle regeneration vs to the negative-control, PRP and BMAC only treated groups. Our findings indicated that BMAC containing mesenchymal stem cells is an efficient approach, which can be used to enhance a smooth and physiopathological healing process, especially when it is used in combination with PRP.

Abstract
Tendinopathies are chronic diseases of an unknown etiology and associated with inflammation. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as a viable therapeutic option to combat the pathological progression of tendinopathies, not only because of their potential for multidirectional differentiation and self-renewal, but also their excellent immunomodulatory properties. The immunomodulatory effects of MSCs are increasingly being recognized as playing a crucial role in the treatment of tendinopathies, with MSCs being pivotal in regulating the inflammatory microenvironment by modulating the immune response, ultimately contributing to improved tissue repair. This review will discuss the current knowledge regarding the application of MSCs in tendinopathy treatments through the modulation of the immune response.

Abstract
The refined functional cell subtypes in the immune microenvironment of specific titanium (Ti) surface and their collaborative role in promoting bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) driven bone integration need to be comprehensively characterized. This study employed a simplified co-culture system to investigate the dynamic, temporal crosstalk between macrophages and BMSCs on the Ti surface. The M2-like sub-phenotype of macrophages, characterized by secretion of CXCL chemokines, emerges as a crucial mediator for promoting BMSC osteogenic differentiation and bone integration in the Ti surface microenvironment. Importantly, these two cells maintain their distinct functional phenotypes through a mutually regulatory interplay. The secretion of CXCL3, CXCL6, and CXCL14 by M2-like macrophages plays a pivotal role. The process activates CXCR2 and CCR1 receptors, triggering downstream regulatory effects on the actin cytoskeleton pathway within BMSCs, ultimately fostering osteogenic differentiation. Reciprocally, BMSCs secrete pleiotrophin (PTN), a key player in regulating macrophage differentiation. This secretion maintains the M2-like phenotype via the Sdc3 receptor-mediated cell adhesion molecules pathway. Our findings provide a novel insight into the intricate communication and mutual regulatory mechanisms operating between BMSCs and macrophages on the Ti surface, highlight specific molecular events governing cell-cell interactions in the osteointegration, inform the surface design of orthopedic implants, and advance our understanding of osteointegration.

The crosstalk between mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and the host immune function plays a key role in the efficiency of tissue regeneration and wound healing. However, the difference in immunological modulation and tissue regeneration function between MSCs from different sources remains unclear. Compared to PDLSCs, BMMSCs, and ADSCs, DPSCs exhibited greater tissue regeneration potential and triggered more M2 macrophages in vivo. DPSCs elicited the polarization of M2a macrophages by conditioned medium and transwell assay and exhibited higher expression levels of C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2). Specific blocking of CCL2 could significantly inhibit the DPSCs-induced polarization of M2 macrophages. DPSCs promoted wound healing of the palatal mucosa and M2 macrophages polarization in vivo, which could be significantly impaired by CCL2-neutralized antibody. Our data indicate that DPSCs exert better tissue regeneration potential and immunoregulatory function by secreting CCL2, which can enhance MSCs-mediated tissue regeneration or wound healing.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease related to the central nervous system (CNS) with a significant global burden. In this illness, the immune system plays an essential role in its pathophysiology and progression. The currently available treatments are not recognized as curable options and, at best, might slow the progression of MS injuries to the CNS. However, stem cell treatment has provided a new avenue for treating MS. Stem cells may enhance CNS healing and regulate immunological responses. Likewise, stem cells can come from various sources, including adipose, neuronal, bone marrow, and embryonic tissues. Choosing the optimal cell source for stem cell therapy is still a difficult verdict. A type of stem cell known as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is obtainable from different sources and has a strong immunomodulatory impact on the immune system. According to mounting data, the umbilical cord and adipose tissue may serve as appropriate sources for the isolation of MSCs. Human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs), as novel stem cell sources with immune-regulatory effects, regenerative properties, and decreased antigenicity, can also be thought of as a new upcoming contender for MS treatment. Overall, the administration of stem cells in different sets of animal and clinical trials has shown immunomodulatory and neuroprotective results. Therefore, this review aims to discuss the different types of stem cells by focusing on MSCs and their mechanisms, which can be used to treat and improve the outcomes of MS disease.

Abstract
Dysregulation of the bone marrow niche resulting from the direct and indirect effects of HIV infection contributes to haematological abnormalities observed in HIV patients. The bone marrow niche is a complex, multicellular environment which functions primarily in the maintenance of haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). These adult stem cells are responsible for replacing blood and immune cells over the course of a lifetime. Cells of the bone marrow niche support HSPCs and help to orchestrate the quiescence, self-renewal and differentiation of HSPCs through chemical and molecular signals and cell-cell interactions. This narrative review discusses the HIV-associated dysregulation of the bone marrow niche, as well as the susceptibility of HSPCs to infection by HIV.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the potential of cell-based regenerative therapy for elbow joints affected by osteoarthritis. Interest was focused on two intra-articular applications of amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (A-MSCs) to a group of different breeds of dogs with elbow osteoarthritis (13 joints). Two injections were performed 14 days apart. We evaluated synovial fluid biomarkers, such as IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-15, IL-10, MCP-1, TNF-α, and GM-CSF, by multiplex fluorescent micro-bead immunoassay in the treated group of elbows (n = 13) (day 0, day 14, and day 28) and in the control group of elbows (n = 9). Kinematic gait analysis determined the joint range of motion (ROM) before and after each A-MSCs application. Kinematic gait analysis was performed on day 0, day 14, and day 28. Kinematic gait analysis pointed out improvement in the average range of motion of elbow joints from day 0 (38.45 ± 5.74°), day 14 (41.7 ± 6.04°), and day 28 (44.78 ± 4.69°) with statistical significance (p < 0.05) in nine elbows. Correlation analyses proved statistical significance (p < 0.05) in associations between ROM (day 0, day 14, and day 28) and IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-15, MCP-1, TNF-α, and GM-CSF concentrations (day 0, day 14, and day 28). IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-15, MCP-1, GM-CSF, and TNF- α showed negative correlation with ROM at day 0, day 14, and day 28, while IL-10 demonstrated positive correlation with ROM. As a consequence of A-MSC application to the elbow joint, we detected a statistically significant (p < 0.05) decrease in concentration levels between day 0 and day 28 for IFN-γ, IL-6, and TNF-α and statistically significant increase for IL-10. Statistical significance (p < 0.05) was detected in TNF-α, IFN-γ, and GM-CSF concentrations between day 14 and the control group as well as at day 28 and the control group. IL-6 concentrations showed statistical significance (p < 0.05) between day 14 and the control group.

Abstract
To date, pulmonary fibrosis remains an unmet medical need. In this study, we evaluated the potency of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) secretome components to prevent pulmonary fibrosis development and facilitate fibrosis resolution. Surprisingly, the intratracheal application of extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) or the vesicle-depleted secretome fraction (MSC-SF) was not able to prevent lung fibrosis when applied immediately after the injury caused by bleomycin instillation in mice. However, MSC-EV administration induced the resolution of established pulmonary fibrosis, whereas the vesicle-depleted fraction did not. The application of MSC-EVs caused a decrease in the numbers of myofibroblasts and FAPa+ progenitors without affecting their apoptosis. Such a decrease likely occurred due to their dedifferentiation caused by microRNA (miR) transfer by MSC-EVs. Using a murine model of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, we confirmed the contribution of specific miRs (miR-29c and miR-129) to the antifibrotic effect of MSC-EVs. Our study provides novel insights into possible antifibrotic therapy based on the use of the vesicle-enriched fraction of the MSC secretome.

Abstract
Ischemic heart failure (IHF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, for which heart transplantation remains the only definitive treatment. IHF manifests from myocardial infarction (MI) that initiates tissue remodeling processes, mediated by mechanical changes in the tissue (loss of contractility, softening of the myocardium) that are interdependent with cellular mechanisms (cardiomyocyte death, inflammatory response). The early remodeling phase is characterized by robust inflammation that is necessary for tissue debridement and the initiation of repair processes. While later transition toward an immunoregenerative function is desirable, functional reorientation from an inflammatory to reparatory environment is often lacking, trapping the heart in a chronically inflamed state that perpetuates cardiomyocyte death, ventricular dilatation, excess fibrosis, and progressive IHF. Therapies can redirect the immune microenvironment, including biotherapeutic and biomaterial-based approaches. In this review, we outline these existing approaches, with a particular focus on the immunomodulatory effects of therapeutics (small molecule drugs, biomolecules, and cell or cell-derived products). Cardioprotective strategies, often focusing on immunosuppression, have shown promise in pre-clinical and clinical trials. However, immunoregenerative therapies are emerging that often benefit from exacerbating early inflammation. Biomaterials can be used to enhance these therapies as a result of their intrinsic immunomodulatory properties, parallel mechanisms of action (e.g., mechanical restraint), or by enabling cell or tissue-targeted delivery. We further discuss translatability and the continued progress of technologies and procedures that contribute to the bench-to-bedside development of these critically needed treatments.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) was established to be ameliorated by islet transplantation, but the shortage of the transplanted human islet tissue and the use of immunosuppressive drugs to inhibit the rejection of allogeneic grafts make this type of therapy is limited. Nowadays, therapy with stem cells is one of the most promising future treatments. This kind of therapy could have a profound impact on both replacement, as well as regenerative therapies, to improve or even cure various disorders, including diabetes mellitus. Flavonoids have also been shown to possess anti-diabetic effects. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and hesperetin in the treatment of a T1DM rat model. T1DM was induced in male Wistar rats that had been starved for 16 h via intraperitoneal injection of STZ at a dose of 40 mg/kg body weight (b.wt.). After 10 days of STZ injection, the diabetic rats were allocated into four groups. The first diabetic animal group was considered a diabetic control, while the other three diabetic animal groups were treated for six weeks, respectively, with hesperetin (given orally at a dose of 20 mg/kg b.wt.), BM-MSCs (injected intravenously at a dose of 1 × 106 cells/rat/week), and their combination (hesperetin and BM-MSCs). The use of hesperetin and BM-MSCs in the treatment of STZ-induced diabetic animals significantly improved the glycemic state, serum fructosamine, insulin and C-peptide levels, liver glycogen content, glycogen phosphorylase, glucose-6-phosphatase activities, hepatic oxidative stress, and mRNA expressions of NF-κB, IL-1β, IL-10, P53, and Bcl-2 in pancreatic tissue. The study suggested the therapy with both hesperetin and BM-MSCs produced marked antihyperglycemic effects, which may be mediated via their potencies to ameliorate pancreatic islet architecture and insulin secretory response, as well as to decrease hepatic glucose output in diabetic animals. The improvement effects of hesperetin and BM-MSCs on the pancreatic islets of diabetic rats may be mediated via their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic actions.

Abstract
Apical periodontitis is the inflammation and destruction of periradicular tissues, mediated by microbial factors originating from the infected pulp space. This bacteria-mediated inflammatory disease is known to interfere with root development in immature permanent teeth. Current research on interventions in immature teeth has been dedicated to facilitating the continuation of root development as well as regenerating the dentin-pulp complex, but the fundamental knowledge on the cellular interactions and the role of periapical mediators in apical periodontitis in immature roots that govern the disease process and post-treatment healing is limited. The limitations in 2D monolayer cell culture have a substantial role in the existing limitations of understanding cell-to-cell interactions in the pulpal and periapical tissues. Three-dimensional (3D) tissue constructs with two or more different cell populations are a better physiological representation of in vivo environment. These systems allow the high-throughput testing of multi-cell interactions and can be applied to study the interactions between stem cells and immune cells, including the role of mediators/cytokines in simulated environments. Well-designed 3D models are critical for understanding cellular functions and interactions in disease and healing processes for future therapeutic optimization in regenerative endodontics. This narrative review covers the fundamentals of (1) the disease process of apical periodontitis; (2) the influence and challenges of regeneration in immature roots; (3) the introduction of and crosstalk between mesenchymal stem cells and macrophages; (4) 3D cell culture techniques and their applications for studying cellular interactions in the pulpal and periapical tissues; (5) current investigations on cellular interactions in regenerative endodontics; and, lastly, (6) the dental-pulp organoid developed for regenerative endodontics.

Abstract
Aging of the global population increases the incidence of osteoporosis and associated fragility fractures, significantly impacting patient quality of life and healthcare costs. The acute inflammatory reaction is essential to initiate healing after injury. However, aging is associated with "inflammaging", referring to the presence of systemic low-level chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation impairs the initiation of bone regeneration in elderly patients. This review examines current knowledge of the bone regeneration process and potential immunomodulatory therapies to facilitate bone healing in inflammaging.Aged macrophages show increased sensitivity and responsiveness to inflammatory signals. While M1 macrophages are activated during the acute inflammatory response, proper resolution of the inflammatory phase involves repolarizing pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages to an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype associated with tissue regeneration. In aging, persistent chronic inflammation resulting from the failure of M1 to M2 repolarization leads to increased osteoclast activation and decreased osteoblast formation, thus increasing bone resorption and decreasing bone formation during healing.Inflammaging can impair the ability of stem cells to support bone regeneration and contributes to the decline in bone mass and strength that occurs with aging. Therefore, modulating inflammaging is a promising approach for improving bone health in the aging population. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess immunomodulatory properties that may benefit bone regeneration in inflammation. Preconditioning MSCs with pro-inflammatory cytokines affects MSCs' secretory profile and osteogenic ability. MSCs cultured under hypoxic conditions show increased proliferation rates and secretion of growth factors. Resolution of inflammation via local delivery of anti-inflammatory cytokines is also a potential therapy for bone regeneration in inflammaging. Scaffolds containing anti-inflammatory cytokines, unaltered MSCs, and genetically modified MSCs can also have therapeutic potential. MSC exosomes can increase the migration of MSCs to the fracture site and enhance osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis.In conclusion, inflammaging can impair the proper initiation of bone regeneration in the elderly. Modulating inflammaging is a promising approach for improving compromised bone healing in the aging population.

Therapeutic Perspectives for Inflammation and Senescence in Osteoarthritis Using Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles and Senolytic Agents. Cells 2023; 12:1421. [PMID: 37408255 DOI: 10.3390/cells12101421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common cause of disability worldwide among the elderly. Alarmingly, the incidence of OA in individuals less than 40 years of age is rising, likely due to the increase in obesity and post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). In recent years, due to a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of OA, several potential therapeutic approaches targeting specific molecular pathways have been identified. In particular, the role of inflammation and the immune system has been increasingly recognized as important in a variety of musculoskeletal diseases, including OA. Similarly, higher levels of host cellular senescence, characterized by cessation of cell division and the secretion of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) within the local tissue microenvironments, have also been linked to OA and its progression. New advances in the field, including stem cell therapies and senolytics, are emerging with the goal of slowing disease progression. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are a subset of multipotent adult stem cells that have demonstrated the potential to modulate unchecked inflammation, reverse fibrosis, attenuate pain, and potentially treat patients with OA. Numerous studies have demonstrated the potential of MSC extracellular vesicles (EVs) as cell-free treatments that comply with FDA regulations. EVs, including exosomes and microvesicles, are released by numerous cell types and are increasingly recognized as playing a critical role in cell-cell communication in age-related diseases, including OA. Treatment strategies for OA are being developed that target senescent cells and the paracrine and autocrine secretions of SASP. This article highlights the encouraging potential for MSC or MSC-derived products alone or in combination with senolytics to control patient symptoms and potentially mitigate the progression of OA. We will also explore the application of genomic principles to the study of OA and the potential for the discovery of OA phenotypes that can motivate more precise patient-driven treatments.

Abstract
Ischemic damage to the central nervous system (CNS) is a catastrophic postoperative complication of aortic occlusion subsequent to cardiovascular surgery that can cause brain impairment and sometimes even paraplegia. Over recent years, numerous studies have investigated techniques for protecting and revascularizing the nervous system during intraoperative ischemia; however, owing to a lack of knowledge of the physiological distinctions between the brain and spinal cord, as well as the limited availability of testing techniques and treatments for ischemia-reperfusion injury, the cause of brain and spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury remains poorly understood, and no adequate response steps are currently available in the clinic. Given the limited ability of the CNS to repair itself, it is of great clinical value to make full use of the proliferative and differentiation potential of stem cells to repair nerves in degenerated and necrotic regions by stem cell transplantation or mobilization, thereby introducing a novel concept for the treatment of severe CNS ischemia-reperfusion injury. This review summarizes the most recent advances in stem cell therapy for ischemia-reperfusion injury in the brain and spinal cord, aiming to advance basic research and the clinical use of stem cell therapy as a promising treatment for this condition.

Abstract
Tendon-bone insertion injuries (TBI), such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and rotator cuff injuries, are common degenerative or traumatic pathologies with a negative impact on the patient's daily life, and they cause huge economic losses every year. The healing process after an injury is complex and is dependent on the surrounding environment. Macrophages accumulate during the entire process of tendon and bone healing and their phenotypes progressively transform as they regenerate. As the "sensor and switch of the immune system", mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) respond to the inflammatory environment and exert immunomodulatory effects during the tendon-bone healing process. When exposed to appropriate stimuli, they can differentiate into different tissues, including chondrocytes, osteocytes, and epithelial cells, promoting reconstruction of the complex transitional structure of the enthesis. It is well known that MSCs and macrophages communicate with each other during tissue repair. In this review, we discuss the roles of macrophages and MSCs in TBI injury and healing. Reciprocal interactions between MSCs and macrophages and some biological processes utilizing their mutual relations in tendon-bone healing are also described. Additionally, we discuss the limitations in our understanding of tendon-bone healing and propose feasible ways to exploit MSC-macrophage interplay to develop an effective therapeutic strategy for TBI injuries. The Translational potential of this article This paper reviewed the important functions of macrophages and mesenchymal stem cells in tendon-bone healing and described the reciprocal interactions between them during the healing process. By managing macrophage phenotypes, mesenchymal stem cells and the interactions between them, some possible novel therapies for tendon-bone injury may be proposed to promote tendon-bone healing after restoration surgery.

The Role of COX-2 and PGE2 in the Regulation of Immunomodulation and Other Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells. Biomedicines 2023; 11:biomedicines11020445.

Abstract
The ability of MSCs to modulate the inflammatory environment is well recognized, but understanding the molecular mechanisms responsible for these properties is still far from complete. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a product of the cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) pathway, is indicated as one of the key mediators in the immunomodulatory effect of MSCs. Due to the pleiotropic effect of this molecule, determining its role in particular intercellular interactions and aspects of cell functioning is very difficult. In this article, the authors attempt to summarize the previous observations regarding the role of PGE2 and COX-2 in the immunomodulatory properties and other vital functions of MSCs. So far, the most consistent results relate to the inhibitory effect of MSC-derived PGE2 on the early maturation of dendritic cells, suppressive effect on the proliferation of activated lymphocytes, and stimulatory effect on the differentiation of macrophages into M2 phenotype. Additionally, COX-2/PGE2 plays an important role in maintaining the basic life functions of MSCs, such as the ability to proliferate, migrate and differentiate, and it also positively affects the formation of niches that are conducive to both hematopoiesis and carcinogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Human placenta-derived decidua stromal cells (DSCs) are newly introduced stromal cells that have successfully been used in several clinical trials for the treatment of acute inflammatory diseases. Despite published data about DSCs, deeper exploration of mechanisms of action and crosstalk with other immune cells need to be explored. METHODS In mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC), the splenocytes from Balb/c or B6 mice were stimulated using mitogen (concanavalin A), allogeneic (B6 or Balb/c splenocytes) or xenogeneic activation with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. RESULTS When 10% of the mouse bone marrow-derived-MSC, being autologous, allogeneic or haploidentical (from F1), was added, >95% inhibition was seen. Using human (h)-DSCs, the inhibitory capacity was a median 68% as a xenogeneic immunomodulatory cell when used in mitogen and allogeneic setting in mice MLC. However, when human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were used as stimulator for mouse splenocyte (xenogeneic MLC), hDSC showed a median inhibition of 88%. We explored the presence and function of monocytes in the immunomodulatory function of stromal cells. CD14+ monocyte cells reduced the immunosuppressive effect by hDSC. hDSCs did not show any inhibitory effect on natural killer cell activation and proliferation by interleukin-2. In contrast DSCs increased natural killer proliferation by a median of 58%. Fresh or frozen-thawed hDSCs had similar inhibitory effects on human T-cell proliferation (both allo-stimulation and mitogen stimulation) in vitro. Cell viability at room temperature during 24 h was similar using fresh or freeze-thawed DSCs. CONCLUSIONS To conclude, histocompatibility and CD14+ monocyte cells had an impact on hDSC immunomodulation but frozen-thawed or freshly prepared cells did not.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GIONFH) is a disabling disease with high mortality in China but the detailed molecular and cellular mechanisms remain to be investigated. Macrophages are considered the key cells in osteoimmunology, and the cross-talk between bone macrophages and other cells in the microenvironment is involved in maintaining bone homeostasis. M1 polarized macrophages launch a chronic inflammatory response and secrete a broad spectrum of cytokines (eg, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β) and chemokines to initiate a chronic inflammatory state in GIONFH. M2 macrophage is the alternatively activated anti-inflammatory type distributed mainly in the perivascular area of the necrotic femoral head. In the development of GIONFH, injured bone vascular endothelial cells and necrotic bone activate the TLR4/NF-κB signal pathway, promote dimerization of PKM2 and subsequently enhance the production of HIF-1, inducing metabolic transformation of macrophage to the M1 phenotype. Considering these findings, putative interventions by local chemokine regulation to correct the imbalance between M1/M2 polarized macrophages by switching macrophages to an M2 phenotype, or inhibiting the adoption of an M1 phenotype appear to be plausible regimens for preventing or intervening GIONFH in the early stage. However, these results were mainly obtained by in vitro tissue or experimental animal model. Further studies to completely elucidate the alterations of the M1/M2 macrophage polarization and functions of macrophages in glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head are imperative.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several factors like three-dimensional microstructure, growth factors, cytokines, cell-cell communication, and coculture with functional cells can affect the stem cells behavior and differentiation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of decellularized placental sponge as adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) and macrophage coculture systems, and guiding the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. METHODS The decellularized placental sponge (DPS) was fabricated, and its mechanical characteristics were evaluated using degradation assay, swelling rate, and pore size determination. Its structure was also investigated using hematoxylin and eosin staining and scanning electron microscopy. Mouse peritoneal macrophages and AD-MSCs were isolated and characterized. The differentiation potential of AD-MSCs co-cultured with macrophages was evaluated by RT-qPCR of osteogenic genes on the surface of DPS. The in vivo biocompatibility of DPS was determined by subcutaneous implantation of scaffold and histological evaluations of the implanted site. RESULTS The DPS had 67% porosity with an average pore size of 238 μm. The in vitro degradation assay showed around 25% weight loss during 30 days in PBS. The swelling rate was around 50% during 72 h. The coculture of AD-MSCs/macrophages on the DPS showed a significant upregulation of four differentiation osteogenic lineage genes in AD-MSCs on days 14 and 21 and a significantly higher mineralization rate than the groups without DPS. Subcutaneous implantation of DPS showed in vivo biocompatibility of scaffold during 28 days follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest the decellularized placental sponge as an excellent bone substitute providing a naturally derived matrix substrate with biostructure close to the natural bone that guided differentiation of stem cells toward bone cells and a promising coculture substrate for crosstalk of macrophage and mesenchymal stem cells in vitro.

Abstract
The use of biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications has increased dramatically over recent years. However, the clinical uptake of a wide variety of biomaterials remains limited due to adverse effects commonly exhibited by patients, which are caused by the host immune response. Despite this, current in vitro evaluation standards (ISO-10993) for assessing the host response to biomaterials have limitations in predicting the likelihood of in vivo biomaterial acceptance. Furthermore, endotoxin contamination of biomaterials is rarely considered, despite its ability to significantly affect the performance of biomaterials and engineered tissues. This review highlights the importance of the immune response to biomaterials and discusses existing challenges and opportunities in the development and standardised assessment of the immune response to biomaterials, including the importance of endotoxin levels. In addition, the properties of biomaterials that impact the host immune response and the exploitation of immunomodulatory biomaterials in regenerative medicine are explored. Finally, a standardised in vitro pathway of evaluating the immune response to biomaterials (hydrogels) and their regenerative potential is proposed, aiming to ensure safety and consistency, while reducing costs and the use of animals in the biomaterials research for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This review presents a critical analysis of the role of the interactions between the immune system and biomaterials in determining the therapeutic success of biomaterial-based approaches. No such review addressing the lack of understanding of biomaterial-immune system interactions during the developmental and pre-clinical stages of biomaterials, including the impact of the endotoxin levels of biomaterials on the immune response, is published. As there is a lack of in vitro regulations to evaluate the immune response to biomaterials, a standardised in vitro pathway to evaluate the immune response to biomaterials (hydrogels) and their immunomodulatory and regenerative potential for use in tissue engineering/regenerative medicine applications is presented. The aim of the proposed pathway of biomaterial evaluation is to ensure safety and consistency in the biomaterials research community, while reducing costs and animal use (through the concept of the 3R's - reduction, refinement, and replacement of animals).

Abstract
Bone regeneration is driven by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) via their interactions with immune cells, such as macrophages (MPs). Bone substitutes, e.g., bi-calcium phosphates (BCPs), are commonly used to treat bone defects. However, little research has focused on MSC responses to BCPs in the context of inflammation. The objective of this study was to investigate whether BCPs influence MSC responses and MSC-MP interactions, at the gene and protein levels, in an inflammatory microenvironment. In setup A, human bone marrow MSCs combined with two different BCP granules (BCP 60/40 or BCP 20/80) were cultured with or without cytokine stimulation (IL1β + TNFα) to mimic acute inflammation. In setup B, U937 cell-line-derived MPs were introduced via transwell cocultures to setup A. Monolayer MSCs with and without cytokine stimulation served as controls. After 72 h, the expressions of genes related to osteogenesis, healing, inflammation and remodeling were assessed in the MSCs via quantitative polymerase chain reactions. Additionally, MSC-secreted cytokines related to healing, inflammation and chemotaxis were assessed via multiplex immunoassays. Overall, the results indicate that, under both inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions, the BCP granules significantly regulated the MSC gene expressions towards a pro-healing genotype but had relatively little effect on the MSC secretory profiles. In the presence of the MPs (coculture), the BCPs positively regulated both the gene expression and cytokine secretion of the MSCs. Overall, similar trends in MSC responses were observed with BCP 60/40 and BCP 20/80. In summary, within the limits of in vitro models, these findings suggest that the presence of BCP granules at a surgical site may not necessarily have a detrimental effect on MSC-mediated wound healing, even in the event of inflammation.

CD4 + CTLs Act as a Key Effector Population for Allograft Rejection of MSCs in a Donor MHC-II Dependent Manner in Injured Liver. Aging Dis 2022; 13:1919-1938. [PMID: 36465184 PMCID: PMC9662282 DOI: 10.14336/ad.2022.0314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 09/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) have been considered an attractive source of cytotherapy due to their promising effects on treating various diseases. Allogeneic MSCs (allo-MSCs) are extensively used in clinical trials due to their convenient preparation and credible performance. Traditionally, allo-MSCs are considered immunoprivileged with minimal immunogenicity and potent immunomodulatory capacity. However, growing evidence has suggested that allo-MSCs also induce immune response and cause rejection after transplantation, but the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Here, we demonstrated that allografted MSCs upregulated MHC-II upon stimulation of IFN-γ in hepatic inflammatory environment by using mouse model of CCl4-induced liver injury. MHC-II upregulation enhanced the immunogenicity of allo-MSCs, leading to the activation of alloreactive T cells and rejection of allo-MSCs. However, MHC-II deficiency impaired the allogenic reactivity, thereby rescuing the loss of allo-MSCs. Mechanistically, CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), rather than CD8+ CTLs, acted as the major effector for allo-MSC rejection. Under liver injury condition, the transplanted allo-MSCs upregulated CD80 and PD-L1, and CD8+ CTLs highly expressed CTLA-4 and PD-1, thereby inducing immune tolerance of CD8+ T cells to allo-MSCs. On the contrary, CD4+ CTLs minimally expressed CTLA-4 and PD-1; thus, they remain cytotoxic to allo-MSCs. Consequently, transplantation of MHC-II-deficient allo-MSCs substantially promoted their therapeutic effects in treating liver injury. This study revealed a novel mechanism of MSC allograft rejection mediated by CD4+ CTLs in injured liver, which provided new strategies for improving clinical performance of allo-MSCs in benefiting hepatic injury repair.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) culture of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as spheroids enhances the production of important regulators of inflammation: prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor-inducible gene 6 (TSG-6). The horse is a model species and suffers from musculoskeletal, ocular, and systemic inflammatory disease. It is unknown if 3D culture promotes enhanced production of immunomodulatory cytokines and regulators in equine MSCs and if there is variation between individual cell donors. We evaluated the feasibility, cell viability, and stem cell marker stability of 3D-cultured equine bone marrow-derived MSCs (eBMSCs) and determined the effect of inflammatory stimulation upon gene expression and secretion of key regulators of inflammation [PGE2, TSG-6, IL-10, IL-6, stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1)]. Variations in anti-inflammatory phenotype between six donors were investigated, with and without IL-1β stimulation, in either monolayer [two-dimensional (2D)] or 3D culture. Our results showed that eBMSCs self-aggregate in 3D culture while maintaining cell viability and markers of stemness CD90, CD44, CD104, and Oct4. In addition, 3D culture enhances the anti-inflammatory phenotype regardless of inflammatory stimulation by increasing PGE2, IL-6, TSG-6, SDF-1, and IL-10. Finally, anti-inflammatory phenotype was enhanced by IL-1β exposure but showed significant variation between cell lines in the degree of gene upregulation, and what genes were expressed. We conclude that 3D culture of eBMSCs as spheroids alters their anti-inflammatory phenotype, but this effect is influenced by cytokine exposure and cell donor.

Abstract
Bone injury plagues millions of patients worldwide every year, and it demands a heavy portion of expense from the public medical insurance system. At present, orthopedists think that autologous bone transplantation is the gold standard for treating large-scale bone defects. However, this method has significant limitations, which means that parts of patients cannot obtain a satisfactory prognosis. Therefore, a basic study on new therapeutic methods is urgently needed. The in-depth research on crosstalk between macrophages (Mϕs) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) suggests that there is a close relationship between inflammation and regeneration. The in-depth understanding of the crosstalk between Mϕs and BMSCs is helpful to amplify the efficacy of stem cell-based treatment for bone injury. Only in the suitable inflammatory microenvironment can the damaged tissues containing stem cells obtain satisfactory healing outcomes. The excessive tissue inflammation and lack of stem cells make the transplantation of biomaterials necessary. We can expect that the crosstalk between Mϕs and BMSCs and biomaterials will become the mainstream to explore new methods for bone injury in the future. This review mainly summarizes the research on the crosstalk between Mϕs and BMSCs and also briefly describes the effects of biomaterials and aging on cell transplantation therapy.

Abstract
Most hypertensive cases are primary and heavily associated with modifiable risk factors like salt intake. Evidence suggests that even small reductions in salt consumption reduce blood pressure in all age groups. In that regard, the ACC/AHA described a distinct set of individuals who exhibit salt-sensitivity, regardless of their hypertensive status. Data has shown that salt-sensitivity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events and mortality. However, despite extensive research, the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension is still unclear and tremendously challenged by its multifactorial etiology, complicated genetic influences, and the unavailability of a diagnostic tool. So far, the important roles of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, sympathetic nervous system, and immune system in the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension have been studied. In the first part of this review, we focus on how the systems mentioned above are aberrantly regulated in salt-sensitive hypertension. We follow this with an emphasis on genetic variants in those systems that are associated with and/or increase predisposition to salt-sensitivity in humans.

Abstract
The well-known synergetic interplay between the skeletal and immune systems has changed the design of advanced bone tissue engineering strategies. The immune system is essential during the bone lifetime, with macrophages playing multiple roles in bone healing and biomaterial integration. If in the past, the most valuable aspect of implants was to avoid immune responses of the host, nowadays, it is well-established how important are the crosstalks between immune cells and bone-engineered niches for an efficient regenerative process to occur. For that, it is essential to recapitulate the multiphenotypic cellular environment of bone tissue when designing new approaches. Indeed, the lack of osteoimmunomodulatory knowledge may be the explanation for the poor translation of biomaterials into clinical practice. Thus, smarter hydrogels incorporating immunomodulatory bioactive factors, stem cells, and immune cells are being proposed to develop a new generation of bone tissue engineering strategies. This review highlights the power of immune cells to upgrade the development of innovative engineered strategies, mainly focusing on orthopaedic and dental applications.

Abstract
Human-adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSCs) are multipotent stem cells which have become of great interest in stem-cell therapy due to their less invasive isolation. However, they have limited migration and short lifespans. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms by which these cells could migrate is of critical importance for regenerative medicine. Methods: Looking for novel alternatives, herein, hADMSCs were isolated from adipose tissue and co-cultured with human monocytes ex vivo. Results: A new fused hybrid entity, a foam hybrid cell (FHC), which was CD90+CD14+, resulted from this co-culture and was observed to have enhanced motility, proliferation, immunomodulation properties, and maintained stemness features. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates the generation of a new hybrid cellular population that could provide migration advantages to MSCs, while at the same time maintaining stemness properties.

Abstract
As aging becomes a global burden, the incidence of hip fracture (HF), which is the most common fracture in the elderly population and can be fatal, is rapidly increasing, and its extremely high fatality rate places significant medical and financial burdens on patients. Fractures trigger a complex set of immune responses, and recent studies have shown that with aging, the immune system shows decreased activity or malfunctions in a process known as immune senescence, leading to disease and death. These phenomena are the reasons why elderly individuals typically exhibit chronically low levels of inflammation and increased rates of infection and chronic disease. Macrophages, which are key players in the inflammatory response, are critical in initiating the inflammatory response, clearing pathogens, controlling the innate and adaptive immune responses and repairing damaged tissues. Tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) are widely present in tissues and perform immune sentinel and homeostatic functions. TRMs are combinations of macrophages with different functions and phenotypes that can be directly influenced by neighboring cells and the microenvironment. They form a critical component of the first line of defense in all tissues of the body. Immune system disorders caused by aging could affect the biology of macrophages and thus the cascaded immune response after fracture in various ways. In this review, we outline recent studies and discuss the potential link between monocytes and macrophages and their potential roles in HF in elderly individuals.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are sensors of inflammation, and they exert immunomodulatory properties through the secretion of cytokines and exosomes and direct cell-cell interactions. MSC are routinely used in clinical trials and effectively resolve inflammatory conditions. Nevertheless, inconsistent clinical outcomes necessitate the need for more robust therapeutic phenotypes. The immunomodulatory properties of MSC can be enhanced and protracted by priming (aka licensing) them with IFNγ and TNFα. Yet these enhanced properties rapidly diminish, and prolonged stimulation could tolerize their response. Hence a balanced approach is needed to enhance the therapeutic potential of the MSC for consistent clinical performance. Here, we investigated the concentration-dependent effects of IFNγ and TNFα and developed gelatin-based microgels to sustain a licensed MSC phenotype. We show that IFNγ treatment is more beneficial than TNFα in promoting an immunomodulatory MSC phenotype. We also show that the microgels possess integrin-binding sites to support adipose tissue-derived MSC (AD-MSC) attachment and a net positive charge to sequester the licensing cytokines electrostatically. Microgels are enzymatically degradable, and the rate is dependent on the enzyme concentration and matrix density. Our studies show that one milligram of microgels by dry mass can sequester up to 641 ± 81 ng of IFNγ. Upon enzymatic degradation, microgels exhibited a sustained release of IFNγ that linearly correlated with their degradation rate. The AD-MSC cultured on the IFNγ sequestered microgels displayed efficient licensing potential comparable to or exceeding the effects of bolus IFNγ treatment. When cultured with proinflammatory M1-like macrophages, the AD-MSC-seeded on licensing microgel showed an enhanced immunomodulatory potential compared to untreated AD-MSC and AD-MSC treated with bolus IFNγ treatment. Specifically, the AD-MSC seeded on licensing microgels significantly upregulated Arg1, Mrc1, and Igf1, and downregulated Tnfα in M1-like macrophages compared to other treatment conditions. These licensing microgels are a potent immunomodulatory approach that shows substantial promise in elevating the efficacy of current MSC therapies and may find utility in treating chronic inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) represents a set of heterogeneous neurodevelopmental conditions defined by impaired social interactions and repetitive behaviors. The number of reported cases has increased over the past decades, and ASD is now a major public health burden. So far, only treatments to alleviate symptoms are available, with still unmet need for an effective disease treatment to reduce ASD core symptoms. Genetic predisposition alone can only explain a small fraction of the ASD cases. It has been reported that environmental factors interacting with specific inter-individual genetic background may induce immune dysfunctions and contribute to the incidence of ASD. Such dysfunctions can be observed at the central level, with increased microglial cells and activation in ASD brains or in the peripheral blood, as reflected by high circulating levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, abnormal activation of T-cell subsets, presence of auto-antibodies and of dysregulated microbiota profiles. Altogether, the dysfunction of immune processes may result from immunogenetically-determined inefficient immune responses against a given challenge followed by chronic inflammation and autoimmunity. In this context, immunomodulatory therapies might offer a valid therapeutic option. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) immunoregulatory and immunosuppressive properties constitute a strong rationale for their use to improve ASD clinical symptoms. In vitro studies and pre-clinical models have shown that MSC can induce synapse formation and enhance synaptic function with consequent improvement of ASD-like symptoms in mice. In addition, two preliminary human trials based on the infusion of cord blood-derived MSC showed the safety and tolerability of the procedure in children with ASD and reported promising clinical improvement of core symptoms. We review herein the immune dysfunctions associated with ASD provided, the rationale for using MSC to treat patients with ASD and summarize the current available studies addressing this subject.

Involvement of NF-κB/NLRP3 axis in the progression of aseptic loosening of total joint arthroplasties: a review of molecular mechanisms. Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol 2022; 395:757-767. [PMID: 35377011 DOI: 10.1007/s00210-022-02232-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Particulate wear debris can trigger pro-inflammatory bone resorption and result in aseptic loosening. This complication remains major postoperative discomforts and complications for patients who underwent total joint arthroplasty. Recent studies have indicated that wear debris-induced aseptic loosening is associated with the overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The activation of osteoclasts as a result of inflammatory responses is associated with osteolysis. Moreover, stimulation of inflammatory signaling pathways such as the NF-κB/NLRP3 axis results in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In this review, we first summarized the potential inflammatory mechanisms of wear particle-induced peri-implant osteolysis. Then, the therapeutic approaches, e.g., biological inhibitors, herbal products, and stem cells or their derivatives, with the ability to suppress the inflammatory responses, mainly NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathways, were discussed. Based on the results, activation of macrophages following inflammatory stimuli, overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and subsequent differentiation of osteoclasts in the presence of wear particles lead to bone resorption. The activation of NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathways within the macrophages stimulates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, e.g., IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. According to in vitro and in vivo studies, novel therapeutics significantly promoted osteogenesis, suppressed osteoclastogenesis, and diminished particle-mediated bone resorption. Conclusively, these findings offer that suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines by regulating both NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome represents a novel approach to attenuate wear-particle-related osteolytic diseases.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have demonstrated therapeutic potential in inflammatory models of human disease. However, clinical translation has fallen short of expectations, with many trials failing to meet primary endpoints. Failure to fully understand their mechanisms of action is a key factor contributing to the lack of successful commercialisation. Indeed, it remains unclear how the long-ranging immunomodulatory effects of MSCs can be attributed to their secretome, when MSCs undergo apoptosis in the lung shortly after intravenous infusion. Their apoptotic fate suggests that efficacy is not based solely on their viable properties, but also on the immune response to dying MSCs. The secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) orchestrate immune responses and play a key role in immune regulation. In this review, we will discuss how apoptotic cells can modify immune responses and highlight the importance of MSC-immune cell interactions in SLOs for therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
The past decade has seen a growing appreciation for the role of the innate immune response in mediating repair and biomaterial directed tissue regeneration. The long-held view of the host immune/inflammatory response as an obstacle limiting stem cell regenerative activity, has given way to a fresh appreciation of the pivotal role the macrophage plays in orchestrating the resolution of inflammation and launching the process of remodelling and repair. In the context of bone, work over the past decade has established an essential coordinating role for macrophages in supporting bone repair and sustaining biomaterial driven osteogenesis. In this review evidence for the role of the macrophage in bone regeneration and repair is surveyed before discussing recent biomaterial and drug-delivery based approaches that target macrophage modulation with the goal of accelerating and enhancing bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the most severe complications of diabetes mellitus, often resulting in a limb amputation. A cell-based therapy is a highly promising approach for an effective DFU treatment. However, there is no consensus regarding the most effective cell type for DFU treatment. Various cell types contribute to chronic wound healing via different mechanisms. For example, application of keratinocytes can stimulate migration of native keratinocytes from the wound edge, while mesenchymal stem cells can correct limb ischemia. To assess the effectiveness of a certain cell type, it should be administered as a monotherapy without other substances and procedures that have additional therapeutic effects. In the present review, we described therapeutic effects of various cells and provided an overview of clinical studies in which stem and somatic cell-based therapy was administered as a monotherapy. Topical application of somatic cells contributes to DFU healing only, while injection of mesenchymal stem cells and mononuclear cells can break a pathophysiological chain leading from insufficient blood supply to DFU development. At the same time, the systemic use of mesenchymal stem cells carries greater risks. Undoubtedly, cell therapy is a potent tool for the treatment of DFU. However, it is vital to conduct further high-quality clinical research to determine the most effective cell type, dosage and way of administration for DFU treatment. Ischemia, neuropathy and neuro-ischemia are underlying factors of diabetic foot ulcer. Stem and somatic cells monotherapy can improve chronic wound healing via different mechanisms.

Abstract
The preconditioning of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been recognized as an attractive tool to improve their regenerative and immunomodulatory capacities based on their paracrine effects. In this study, we examined the potential of an MSC-conditioned medium (MSC-CM) to alter the phenotype of murine macrophages and to drive reprogramming toward an anti-inflammatory, M2-like state in vitro. We further explored the impact of MSC cytokine preconditioning on the immunosuppressive properties of the MSC secretome. The MSC-CM suppressed the expression of proinflammatory genes in murine M1 macrophages, but only the CM from preconditioned MSCs (preMSC-CM) downregulated their expression during M1 polarization. Remarkably, only the preMSC-CM significantly increased the expression of M2a-, M2b- and M2c-specific genes and proteins during M2a polarization. Further, macrophages were found to secrete high levels of anti-inflammatory IL-10. Similarly, M2a macrophages cultured in the presence of the preMSC-CM displayed an enhanced expression of M2b/M2c-specific markers, suggesting that the secretome of preMSC promotes the repolarization of M2a-like macrophages to M2b/M2c subtypes. The preMSC-CM was found to be enriched in molecules involved in M2 polarization. Additionally, a unique downregulation of extracellular matrix components was observed. Altogether, the preMSC-CM may provide an attractive strategy to dampen inflammation by suppressing the expression of proinflammatory mediators and promoting the polarization and phenotype switch of M2a cells to IL-10-secreting M2b/M2c-like macrophages.

Abstract
Organ transplantation is essential and crucial for saving and enhancing the lives of individuals suffering from end-stage organ failure. Major challenges in the medical field include the shortage of organ donors, high rates of organ rejection, and long wait times. To address the current limitations and shortcomings, cellular therapy approaches have been developed using mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC). MSC have been isolated from various sources, have the ability to differentiate to important cell lineages, have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, allow immunosuppressive drug minimization, and induce immune tolerance towards the transplanted organ. Additionally, rapid advances in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have emerged that focus on either generating new organs and organ sources or maximizing the availability of existing organs. This review gives an overview of the various properties of MSC that have enabled its use as a cellular therapy for organ preservation and transplant. We also highlight emerging fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine along with their multiple sub-disciplines, underlining recent advances, widespread clinical applications, and potential impact on the future of tissue and organ transplantation.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are characterized by the activation of the immune system against self-antigens. More common in women than in men and with an early onset, their incidence is increasing worldwide, and this, combined with their chronic nature, is contributing to an enlarged medical and economic burden. Conventional immunosuppressive agents are designed to alleviate symptoms but do not constitute an effective therapy, highlighting a need to develop new alternatives. In this regard, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated powerful immunosuppressive and regenerative effects. MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have shown some advantages, such as less immunogenicity, and are proposed as novel therapies for ADs. In this review, we summarize current perspectives on therapeutic options for ADs based on MSCs and MSC-EVs, focusing particularly on their mechanism of action exerted through their non-coding RNA (ncRNA) cargo. A complete state-of-the-art review was performed, centralized on some of the most severe ADs (rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune type 1 diabetes mellitus, and systemic lupus erythematosus), giving evidence that a promising field is evolving to overcome the current knowledge and provide new therapeutic possibilities centered on MSC-EVs and their role as ncRNA delivery vehicles for AD gene therapy.

Systemic and local innate immune responses to surgical co-transplantation of mesenchymal stromal cells and biphasic calcium phosphate for bone regeneration. Acta Biomater 2022; 141:440-453.

Abstract
Bone regeneration from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) is attributed to comprehensive immune modulation mediated by the MSC. However, the temporal and spatial regulation of these immune responses has not yet been described. The aim of the present study was to assess the local and systemic innate immune responses to implantation of biphasic calcium phosphate biomaterial (BCP) alone, or with bone marrow derived MSC (BCP+MSC), in critical-sized calvarial bone defects of Lewis rats. Four weeks after implantation, flow cytometry analysis of innate immune cells revealed increased numbers of circulating classical monocyte-macrophages (MM) and decreased non-classical MM in the BCP+MSC group. At week 8, this differential systemic MM response was associated with an increased presence of local tissue anti-inflammatory macrophages expressing CD68 and CD163 markers (M2-like). In the BCP group without MSC, NK cells increased at weeks 1 and 4, and neutrophils increased in circulation at weeks 2 and 8. At week 8, the increase in number of neutrophils in circulation was associated with decreased local tissue neutrophils, in the BCP+MSC group. Gene expression analysis of tissue biopsies from defects implanted with BCP+MSC, in comparison to BCP alone, revealed upregulated expression of early osteogenesis genes along with macrophage differentiation-related genes at weeks 1 and 8 and neutrophil chemotaxis-related genes at week 1. This study is the first to demonstrate that surgical implantation of BCP or BCP+MSC grafts differentially regulate both systemic and local tissue innate immune responses which enhance bone formation. The results provide new insights into immune mechanisms underlying MSC-mediated bone regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The suitability of biphasic calcium phosphate and mesenchymal stromal cell construct (BCP+MSC) transplantation is evident from their progress in clinical trials for treating challenging maxillofacial bone defects. But less is known about the overall immune response generated by this surgical process and how it later impacts the bone formation. To this end, it is crucial to understand for both clinicians and researchers, the systemic immune response to transplanting MSC in patients for ensuring both the safety and efficacy of cell therapies. In this study, we used rat calvarial bone defect model and showed that both systemic and local innate immunes responses (monocyte-macrophages and neutrophils) are favorably directed towards enhanced bone formation in BCP+MSC implanted defects, as compared to BCP alone.

Abstract
Although tremendous progress has been made in conventional treatment for ischemic heart disease, it still remains a major cause of death and disability. Cell-based therapeutics holds an exciting frontier of research for complete cardiac recuperation. The capacity of diverse stem and progenitor cells to stimulate cardiac renewal has been analysed, with promising results in both pre-clinical and clinical trials. Mesenchymal stem cells have been ascertained to have regenerative ability via a variety of mechanisms, including differentiation from the mesoderm lineage, immunomodulatory properties, and paracrine effects. Also, their availability, maintenance, and ability to replenish endogenous stem cell niches have rendered them suitable for front-line research. This review schemes to outline the use of mesenchymal stem cell therapeutics for ischemic heart disease, their characteristics, the potent mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cell-based heart regeneration, and highlight preclinical data. Additionally, we discuss the results of the clinical trials to date as well as ongoing clinical trials on ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
Interactions between macrophages, cardiac cells and the extracellular matrix are crucial for cardiac repair following myocardial infarction (MI). We hypothesized that cell-based treatments might modulate these interactions. After validating that bone marrow cells (BMC) associated with fibrin lowered the infarct extent and improved cardiac function, we interrogated the influence of fibrin, as a biologically active scaffold, on the secretome of BMC and the impact of their association on macrophage fate and cardiomyoblast proliferation. In vitro, BMC were primed with fibrin (F-BMC). RT-PCR and proteomic analyses showed that fibrin profoundly influenced the gene expression and the secretome of BMCs. Consequently, the secretome of F-BMC increased the spreading of cardiomyoblasts and showed an alleviated immunomodulatory capacity. Indeed, the proliferation of anti-inflammatory macrophages was augmented, and the phenotype of pro-inflammatory switched as shown by downregulated Nos2, Il6 and IL1b and upregulated Arg1, CD163, Tgfb and IL10. Interestingly, the secretome of F-BMC educated-macrophages stimulated the incorporation of EdU in cardiomyoblasts. In conclusion, our study provides evidence that BMC/fibrin-based treatment improved cardiac structure and function following MI. In vitro proofs-of-concept reveal that the F-BMC secretome increases cardiac cell size and promotes an anti-inflammatory response. Thenceforward, the F-BMC educated macrophages sequentially stimulated cardiac cell proliferation.

Liver cirrhosis (LC) involves multiple systems throughout the body, and patients with LC often die of multiple organ failure. However, few drugs are useful to treat LC. Hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (HF-MSCs) are derived from the dermal papilla and the bulge area of hair follicles and are pluripotent stem cells in the mesoderm with broad prospects in regenerative medicine. As an emerging seed cell type widely used in skin wound healing and plastic surgery, HF-MSCs show considerable prospects in the treatment of LC due to their proliferation and multidirectional differentiation capabilities. We established an LC model in C57BL/6J mice by administering carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and injected HF-MSCs through the tail vein to explore the therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of HF-MSCs on LC. Here, we found that HF-MSCs improved liver function and ameliorated the liver pathology of LC. Notably, PKH67-labeled HF-MSCs were detected in the injured liver and expressed the hepatocyte-specific markers cytokeratin 18 (CK18) and albumin (ALB). In addition, in contrast to that in the LC group, the α-SMA expression showed a decreasing trend in the treatment group in vitro and in vivo, indicating that the pathological activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) was inhibited by HF-MSC treatment. Moreover, the levels of transforming growth factor β (TGF-β1) and p-Smad3, a signaling molecule downstream of TGF-β1, were increased in mice with LC, while HF-MSC treatment reversed these changes in vivo and in vitro. Based on these findings, HF-MSCs may reverse LC by blocking the TGF-β/Smad pathway and inhibiting the pathological activation of HSCs, which may provide evidence for the application of HF-MSCs to treat LC.
