Bioengineering (Basel) 2024; 11:494. [PMID: 38790361 PMCID: PMC11118848 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11050494] [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: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
In the dynamic landscape of tissue engineering, the integration of tissue-engineered constructs (TECs) faces a dual challenge-initiating beneficial inflammation for regeneration while avoiding the perils of prolonged immune activation. As TECs encounter the immediate reaction of the immune system upon implantation, the unique immunomodulatory properties of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) emerge as key navigators. Harnessing the paracrine effects of MSCs, researchers aim to craft a localized microenvironment that not only enhances TEC integration but also holds therapeutic promise for inflammatory-driven pathologies. This review unravels the latest advancements, applications, obstacles, and future prospects surrounding the strategic alliance between MSCs and TECs, shedding light on the immunological symphony that guides the course of regenerative medicine.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:2419. [PMID: 38397096 PMCID: PMC10889327 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25042419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) are known to secrete pleiotropic paracrine factors, contributing to tissue regeneration. This unique ability makes MSCs promising therapeutic tools for many diseases, including even those that were previously untreatable. Thus, the development of preconditioning approaches aimed at enhancing the paracrine function of MSCs attracts great interest. In the present work, we studied how the extracellular matrix, the essential part of the native tissue microenvironment, affects the secretory capacity of MSCs of various origins. The MSC-derived decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM), used as the cell culture substrate, triggered strong upregulation of FGF-2, MMP-1, HGF, GRO-α, GRO-β, CXCL-5, CXCL-6, IL-6, IL-8, G-CSF and MCP-1. Functional in vitro tests revealed that conditioned media derived from MSCs cultured on dECM significantly improved 3T3 fibroblast and HaCaT keratinocyte scratch wound healing, stimulated THP-1 monocyte migration and promoted capillary-like HUVEC-based tube formation compared to conditioned media from MSCs grown on plastic. In addition, we found that FAK inhibition promoted dECM-induced upregulation of paracrine factors, suggesting that this kinase participates in the MSCs' paracrine response to dECM. Together, these findings demonstrate that dECM provides cues that considerably enhance the secretory function of MSCs. Thus, dECM usage as a cell culture substrate alone or in combination with a FAK inhibitor may be viewed as a novel MSC preconditioning technique.

Extracellular Matrix Deposition Defines the Duration of Cell Sheet Assembly from Human Adipose-Derived MSC. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:17050.

Abstract
Cell sheet (CS) engineering using mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) draws significant interest for regenerative medicine and this approach translates to clinical use for numerous indications. However, little is known of factors that define the timing of CS assembly from primary cultures. This aspect is important for planning CS delivery in autologous and allogeneic modes of use. We used a comparative in vitro approach with primary donors' (n = 14) adipose-derived MSCs and evaluated the impact of healthy subject's sex, MSC culture features (population doubling time and lag-phase), and extracellular matrix (ECM) composition along with factors related to connective tissue formations (α-SMA and FAP-α) on CS assembly duration. Using qualitative and quantitative analysis methods, we found that, in seeded MSCs, high contents of collagen I and collagen IV had a direct correlation with longer CS assembly duration. We found that short lag-phase cultures faster turned to a ready-to-use CS, while age, sex, fibronectin, laminin, α-SMA, and FAP-α failed to provide a significant correlation with the timing of assembly. In detachable CSs, FAP-α was negatively correlated with the duration of assembly, suggesting that its concentration rose over time and contributed to MSC activation, transitioning to α-SMA-positive myofibroblasts and ECM turnover. Preliminary data on cell density and collagen I deposition suggested that the TGF-β1 signaling axis is of pivotal importance for ECM composition and construct maturation.

Aging (Albany NY) 2023; 15:10540-10548. [PMID: 37815888 PMCID: PMC10599757 DOI: 10.18632/aging.205093] [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: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressure ulcer is a severe disease in the paralyzed and aging populations. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are able to regulate ulcer healing by modulating angiogenesis, but the molecular mechanism is still obscure. Sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling contributes to angiogenesis in various diseases and has been identified to modulate EPCs function. Here, we aimed to explore the significance of SHH signaling in EPCs function during pressure ulcers. METHODS The EPCs were isolated and characterized by the expression of DiI-acLDL and bind fluorescein iso-thiocyanate UEA-1. Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8). The DiI-acLDL and bind fluorescein iso-thiocyanate UEA-1 were analyzed by immunofluorescent analysis. The angiogenesis of EPCs was analyzed by tube formation assay. The pressure ulcers rat model was constructed, the wound injury was analyzed by H&E staining and angiogenesis was analyzed by the accumulation of CD31 based on immunofluorescent analysis. RESULTS The expression of patched-1 and Gli-1 was enhanced by SHH activator SAG but reduced by SHH inhibitor cyclopamine in the EPCsThe PI3K, Akt, eNOS expression and the Akt phosphorylation were induced by SAG, while the treatment of cyclopamine presented a reversed result. The proliferation and migration of EPCs were enhanced by SAG but repressed by cyclopamine or PI3K/AKT/eNOS signaling inhibitor Y294002, in which the co-treatment of Y294002 could reverse the effect of SAG. CONCLUSIONS Thus, we found that SHH signaling activated angiogenesis properties of EPCs to improve pressure ulcers healing by PI3K/AKT/eNOS signaling. SHH signaling may serve as the potential target for attenuating pressure ulcers.

Abstract
Cell therapy is an accessible method for curing damaged organs or tissues. Yet, this approach is limited by the delivery efficiency of cell suspension injection. Over recent years, biological scaffolds have emerged as carriers of delivering therapeutic cells to the target sites. Although they can be regarded as revolutionary research output and promote the development of tissue engineering, the defect of biological scaffolds in repairing cell-dense tissues is apparent. Cell sheet engineering (CSE) is a novel technique that supports enzyme-free cell detachment in the shape of a sheet-like structure. Compared with the traditional method of enzymatic digestion, products harvested by this technique retain extracellular matrix (ECM) secreted by cells as well as cell-matrix and intercellular junctions established during in vitro culture. Herein, we discussed the current status and recent progress of CSE in basic research and clinical application by reviewing relevant articles that have been published, hoping to provide a reference for the development of CSE in the field of stem cells and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Background Intestinal fibrosis, one of the complications of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is associated with fistula and intestinal stricture formation. There are currently no treatments for fibrosis. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes have been proven to exert inhibitory and reversal effects in IBD and other organ fibrosis. In this study, we explored the role of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (hucMSC-Ex) in IBD-related fibrosis and its associated mechanism to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of IBD-related intestinal fibrosis. Methods We established a DSS-induced mouse IBD-related intestinal fibrosis model and observed the effect of hucMSC-Ex on the mouse model. We also used the TGF-induced human intestinal fibroblast CCD-18Co to observe the role of hucMSC-Ex in the proliferation, migration, and activation of intestinal fibroblasts. Having observed that the extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway in intestinal fibrosis can be inhibited by hucMSC-Ex, we treated intestinal fibroblasts with an ERK inhibitor to emphasize the potential target of ERK phosphorylation in the treatment of IBD-associated intestinal fibrosis. Results In the animal model of IBD-related fibrosis, hucMSC-Ex alleviated inflammation-related fibrosis as evident in the thinning of the mice's intestinal wall and decreased expression of related molecules. Moreover, hucMSC-Ex inhibited TGF-β-induced proliferation, migration, and activation of human intestinal fibroblasts, and ERK phosphorylation played a key role in IBD-associated fibrosis. The inhibition of ERK decreased the expression of fibrosis-related indicators such as α-SMA, fibronectin, and collagen I. Conclusion hucMSC-Ex alleviates DSS-induced IBD-related intestinal fibrosis by inhibiting profibrotic molecules and intestinal fibroblast proliferation and migration by decreasing ERK phosphorylation.

Conditioned Medium - Is it an Undervalued Lab Waste with the Potential for Osteoarthritis Management? Stem Cell Rev Rep 2023:10.1007/s12015-023-10517-1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The approaches currently used in osteoarthritis (OA) are mainly short-term solutions with unsatisfactory outcomes. Cell-based therapies are still controversial (in terms of the sources of cells and the results) and require strict culture protocol, quality control, and may have side-effects. A distinct population of stromal cells has an interesting secretome composition that is underrated and commonly ends up as biological waste. Their unique properties could be used to improve the existing techniques due to protective and anti-ageing properties. SCOPE OF REVIEW In this review, we seek to outline the advantages of the use of conditioned media (CM) and exosomes, which render them superior to other cell-based methods, and to summarise current information on the composition of CM and their effect on chondrocytes. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS CM are obtainable from a variety of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) sources, such as adipose tissue, bone marrow and umbilical cord, which is significant to their composition. The components present in CMs include proteins, cytokines, growth factors, chemokines, lipids and ncRNA with a variety of functions. In most in vitro and in vivo studies CM from MSCs had a beneficial effect in enhance processes associated with chondrocyte OA pathomechanism. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE This review summarises the information available in the literature on the function of components most commonly detected in MSC-conditioned media, as well as the effect of CM on OA chondrocytes in in vitro culture. It also highlights the need to standardise protocols for obtaining CM, and to conduct clinical trials to transfer the effects obtained in vitro to human subjects.

Abstract
Pressure ulcers (PUs) are increasing with aging worldwide, but there is no effective causal therapy. Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promote cutaneous wound healing, the effects of the conditioned medium (CM) of MSCs on cutaneous PU formation induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury have been poorly investigated. To address this issue, herein, we first established an immortalized stem cell line from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED). This cell line was revealed to have superior characteristics in that it grows infinitely and vigorously, and stably and consistently secretes a variety of cytokines. Using the CM obtained from the immortalized SHED cell line, we investigated the therapeutic potential on a cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion mouse model for PU formation using two magnetic plates. This is the first study to show that CM from immortalized SHEDs exerts therapeutic effects on PU formation by promoting angiogenesis and oxidative stress resistance through vascular endothelial growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor. Thus, the CM of MSCs has potent therapeutic effects, whereas these therapies have not been implemented in human medicine. To try to meet the regulatory requirements for manufacturing and quality control as much as possible, it is necessary to produce CM that is consistently safe and effective. The immortalization of stem cells could be one of the breakthroughs to meet the regulatory requirements and consequently open up a novel avenue to create a novel type of cell-free regenerative medicine, although further investigation into the quality control is warranted.

Abstract
Background Postmastectomy radiotherapy is considered to be a necessary treatment in the therapy of breast cancer, while it will cause soft tissue damage and complications, which are closely related to the success rate and effectiveness of breast reconstruction. After radiotherapy, cutaneous tissue becomes thin and brittle, and its compliance decreases. Component fat grafting and adipose-derived stem cell therapy are considered to have great potential in treating radiation damage and improving skin compliance after radiotherapy. Main body In this paper, the basic types and pathological mechanisms of skin and soft tissue damage to breast skin caused by radiation therapy are described. The 2015–2021 studies related to stem cell therapy in PubMed were also reviewed. Studies suggest that adipose-derived stem cells exert their biological effects mainly through cargoes carried in extracellular vesicles and soluble secreted factors. Compared to traditional fat graft breast reconstruction, ADSC therapy amplifies the effects of stem cells in it. In order to obtain a more purposeful therapeutic effect, proper stem cell pretreatment may achieve more ideal and safe results. Conclusion Recent research works about ADSCs and other MSCs mainly focus on curative effects in the acute phase of radiation injury, and there is little research about treatment of chronic phase complications. The efficacy of stem cell therapy on alleviating skin fibrosis and its underlying mechanism require further research.

Abstract
Intestinal fibrosis is an important complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In the course of the development of fibrosis, certain parts of the intestine become narrowed, significantly destroying the structure and function of the intestine and affecting the quality of life of patients. Chronic inflammation is an important initiating factor of fibrosis. Unfortunately, the existing anti-inflammatory drugs cannot effectively prevent and alleviate fibrosis, and there is no effective anti-fibrotic drug, which makes surgical treatment the mainstream treatment for intestinal fibrosis and stenosis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of tissue regeneration and repair through their self-differentiation, secretion of cytokines, and secretion of extracellular vesicles. MSCs have been shown to play an important therapeutic role in the fibrosis of many organs. However, the role of MSC in intestinal fibrosis largely remained unexplored. This review summarizes the mechanism of intestinal fibrosis, including the role of immune cells, TGF-β, and the gut microbiome and metabolites. Available treatment options for fibrosis, particularly, MSCs are also discussed.

Self-Organization Provides Cell Fate Commitment in MSC Sheet Condensed Areas via ROCK-Dependent Mechanism. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9091192. [PMID: 34572378 PMCID: PMC8470239 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9091192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 08/30/2021] [Accepted: 09/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Multipotent mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) are one of the crucial regulators of regeneration and tissue repair and possess an intrinsic program from self-organization mediated by condensation, migration and self-patterning. The ability to self-organize has been successfully exploited in tissue engineering approaches using cell sheets (CS) and their modifications. In this study, we used CS as a model of human MSC spontaneous self-organization to demonstrate its structural, transcriptomic impact and multipotent stromal cell commitment. We used CS formation to visualize MSC self-organization and evaluated the role of the Rho-GTPase pathway in spontaneous condensation, resulting in a significant anisotropy of the cell density within the construct. Differentiation assays were carried out using conventional protocols, and microdissection and RNA-sequencing were applied to establish putative targets behind the observed phenomena. The differentiation of MSC to bone and cartilage, but not to adipocytes in CS, occurred more effectively than in the monolayer. RNA-sequencing indicated transcriptional shifts involving the activation of the Rho-GTPase pathway and repression of SREBP, which was concordant with the lack of adipogenesis in CS. Eventually, we used an inhibitory analysis to validate our findings and suggested a model where the self-organization of MSC defined their commitment and cell fate via ROCK1/2 and SREBP as major effectors under the putative switching control of AMP kinase.

Measurement of the Adipose Stem Cells Cell Sheets Transmittance. Bioengineering (Basel) 2021; 8:bioengineering8070093.

Abstract
In the field of cell therapy, the interest in cell sheet technology is increasing. To determine the cell sheet harvesting time requires experience and practice, and different factors could change the harvesting time (variability among donors and culture media, between cell culture dishes, initial cell seeding density). We have developed a device that can measure the transmittance of the multilayer cell sheets, using a light emitting diode and a light detector, to estimate the harvesting time. The transmittance of the adipose stromal cells cell sheets (ASCCS) was measured every other day as soon as the cells were confluent, up to 12 days. The ASCCS, from three different initial seeding densities, were harvested at 8, 10, and 12 days after seeding. Real-time PCR and immunostaining confirmed the expression of specific cell markers (CD29, CD73, CD90, CD105, HLA-A, HLA-DR), but less than the isolated adipose stromal cells. The number of cells per cell sheets, the average thickness per cell sheet, and the corresponding transmittance showed no correlation. Decrease of the transmittance seems to be correlated with the cell sheet maturation. For the first time, we are reporting the success development of a device to estimate ASCCS harvesting time based on their transmittance.

Polydopamine-modified collagen sponge scaffold as a novel dermal regeneration template with sustained release of platelet-rich plasma to accelerate skin repair: A one-step strategy. Bioact Mater 2021; 6:2613-2628. [PMID: 33615046 PMCID: PMC7881170 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2021.01.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2020] [Revised: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 01/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Although employed to release growth factors (GFs) for regenerative medicine, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been hindered by issues like burst effect. Based on collagen sponge scaffolds (CSSs) modified with polydopamine (pDA), a novel dermal regeneration template (DRT) was designed. However, whether it could efficiently deliver PRP and even foster wound healing remained unclear. In this work, after PRP was prepared and pDA-modified CSSs (pDA-CSSs) were fabricated, microscopic observation, GFs release assay and in-vitro biological evaluations of pDA-CSSs with PRP (pDA-CSS@PRP) were performed, followed by BALA-C/nu mice full-thickness skin defects implanted with pDA-CSS@PRP covered by grafted skins (termed as a One-step strategy). As a result, scanning electron microscope demonstrated more immobilized platelets on pDA-CSS' surface with GFs' controlled release via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, compared with CSSs. In line with enhanced in-vitro proliferation, adhesion and migration of keratinocytes & endothelial cells, pDA-CSS@PRP were histologically revealed to accelerate wound healing with less scar via rapid angiogenesis, arrangement of more mature collagen, guiding cells to spread, etc. In conclusion, pDA-CSSs have potential to serve as a novel DRT capable of delivering PRP, which may foster full-thickness skin defect healing by means of a One-step strategy.

Systematic Review: Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Platelet-Rich Plasma and Biomaterials as New Regenerative Strategies in Chronic Skin Wounds and Soft Tissue Defects. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22041538. [PMID: 33546464 PMCID: PMC7913648 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22041538] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 01/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The number of clinical trials evaluating adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and biomaterials efficacy in regenerative plastic surgery has exponentially increased during the last ten years. AD-MSCs are easily accessible from various fat depots and show intrinsic plasticity in giving rise to cell types involved in wound healing and angiogenesis. AD-MSCs have been used in the treatment of soft tissue defects and chronic wounds, employed in conjunction with a fat grafting technique or with dermal substitute scaffolds and platelet-rich plasma. In this systematic review, an overview of the current knowledge on this topic has been provided, based on existing studies and the authors’ experience. A multistep search of the PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, PreMEDLINE, Ebase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Clinicaltrials.gov, Scopus database, and Cochrane databases has been performed to identify papers on AD-MSCs, PRP, and biomaterials used in soft tissue defects and chronic wounds. Of the 2136 articles initially identified, 422 articles focusing on regenerative strategies in wound healing were selected and, consequently, only 278 articles apparently related to AD-MSC, PRP, and biomaterials were initially assessed for eligibility. Of these, 85 articles were excluded as pre-clinical, experimental, and in vitro studies. For the above-mentioned reasons, 193 articles were selected; of this amount, 121 letters, expert opinions, commentary, and editorials were removed. The remaining 72 articles, strictly regarding the use of AD-MSCs, PRP, and biomaterials in chronic skin wounds and soft tissue defects, were analyzed. The studies included had to match predetermined criteria according to the patients, intervention, comparator, outcomes, and study design (PICOS) approach. The information analyzed highlights the safety and efficacy of AD-MSCs, PRP, and biomaterials on soft tissue defects and chronic wounds, without major side effects.

Abstract
Thermoresponsive cell culture plates release cells as confluent living sheets in response to small changes in temperature, with recovered cell sheets retaining functional extracellular matrix proteins and tight junctions, both of which indicate formation of intact and functional tissue. Our recent studies demonstrated that cell sheets are highly effective in promoting mouse submandibular gland (SMG) cell differentiation and recovering tissue integrity. However, these studies were performed only at early time points and extension of the observation period is needed to investigate duration of the cell sheets. Thus, the goal of this study was to demonstrate that treatment of wounded mouse SMG with cell sheets is capable of increasing salivary epithelial integrity over extended time periods. The results indicate that cell sheets promote tissue organization as early as eight days after transplantation and that these effects endure through Day 20. Furthermore, cell sheet transplantation in wounded SMG induces a significant time-dependent enhancement of cell polarization, differentiation and ion transporter expression. Finally, this treatment restored saliva quantity to pre-wounding levels at both eight and twenty days post-surgery and significantly improved saliva quality at twenty days post-surgery. These data indicate that cell sheets engineered with thermoresponsive cell culture plates are useful for salivary gland regeneration and provide evidence for the long-term stability of cell sheets, thereby offering a potential new therapeutic strategy for treating hyposalivation.
