Abstract
Introduction Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are increasingly used for intra-articular injections in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to use scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to compare the morphological characteristics of synovial and adipose MSCs. Methods Synovium and adipose tissues were concurrently harvested from eight patients with knee osteoarthritis. Suspensions of both synovial and adipose MSCs were examined to identify the presence of microspikes. In addition to this study, the MSC suspensions in four patients were applied to abraded porcine cartilage discs and observed 10 s, 10 min, and 1 h later. Results The median percentage of cells exhibiting microspikes was 14% for synovial MSC suspensions and 13% for adipose MSC suspensions; this difference was not statistically significant (n = 8). No notable differences were detected in the number of adherent cells or in the proportion of cells displaying microspikes or pseudopodia. Strong correlations were found between the proportion of cells with pseudopodia and the number of attached cells for both synovial (r = 0.92, n = 12) and adipose (r = 0.86, n = 12) MSCs, with no significant difference in the correlation coefficients between the two groups. Conclusion SEM analysis revealed no obvious differences in morphological characteristics during MSC adhesion to cartilage for either synovial or adipose MSCs.

Abstract
Keratin 7 (Krt7) is a member of the keratin family and is primarily involved in cytoskeleton composition. It has been shown that Krt7 is able to influence its own remodeling and interactions with other signaling molecules via phosphorylation at specific sites unique to Krt7. However, its molecular mechanism in acute lung injury (ALI) remains unclear. In this study, differential proteomics was used to analyze lung samples from the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE)-deficient and (wild-type)WT-septic mice. We screened for the target protein Krt7 and identified Ser53 as the phosphorylation site using mass spectrometry (MS), and this phosphorylation further triggered the deformation and disintegration of Desmoplakin (Dsp), ultimately leading to epithelial barrier dysfunction. Furthermore, we demonstrated that in sepsis, mDia1/Cdc42/p38 MAPK signaling activation plays a role in septic lung injury. We also explored the mechanism of alveolar dysfunction of the Krt7-Dsp complex in the epithelial cell barrier. In summary, the present findings increase our understanding of the pathogenesis of septic acute lung injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Important roles of INHBB in various malignancies are increasingly identified. The underlying mechanisms in gastric cancer (GC) microenvironment are still greatly unexplored. METHODS The clinical significance of INHBB and the correlation between INHBB and p-p65 in GC were assessed through analyzing publicly available databases and human paraffin embedded GC tissues. The biological crosstalk of INHBB between GC cells and fibroblasts was explored both in vitro and in vivo. RNA-seq analyses were performed to determine the mechanisms which regulating fibroblasts reprogramming. Luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) assay were used to verify the binding relationship of p65 and INHBB in GC cells. RESULTS Our study showed that INHBB level was significantly higher in GC, and that increased INHBB was associated with poor survival. INHBB positively regulates the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells in vitro. Also, activin B promotes the occurrence of GC by reprogramming fibroblasts into cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). The high expression of INHBB in GC cells activates the NF-κB pathway of normal gastric fibroblasts by secreting activin B, and promotes fibroblasts proliferation, migration, and invasion. In addition, activin B activates NF-κB pathway by controlling TRAF6 autoubiquitination to induce TAK1 phosphorylation in fibroblasts. Fibroblasts activated by activin B can induce the activation of p65 phosphorylation of GC cells by releasing pro-inflammatory factors IL-1β. p65 can directly bind to the INHBB promoter and increase the INHBB transcription of GC cells, thus establishing a positive regulatory feedback loop to promote the progression of GC. CONCLUSIONS GC cells p65/INHBB/activin B and fibroblasts p65/IL-1β signal loop led to the formation of a whole tumor-promoting inflammatory microenvironment, which might be a promising therapeutic target for GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In our previous study, activin B in combination with ADSCs enhances skin wound healing. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well studied. Cdc42 is recognized to play a critical role in the regulation of stem cells. METHODS Pull-down assay was performed to investigate the activity of Cdc42. The dominant-negative mutant of Cdc42 (Cdc42N17) was used to explore the role of Cdc42 in activin B-induced ADSCs migration, proliferation, and secretion in vitro. Cdc42N17-transfected ADSCs were injected into a full-thickness excisional wound model to explore their efficiency in wound healing in vivo. The wound healing efficacy was evaluated by the wound closure rates and histological examination. The neovascularization and wound contraction were detected by immunohistochemistry staining of CD31 and α-SMA. Finally, the underlying mechanisms were explored by RNA sequencing. RESULTS Cdc42N17 inhibited ADSCs migration, proliferation, and secretion induced by activin B. Furthermore, Cdc42N17-transfected ADSCs inhibited the wound closure rate and suppressed the expression of CD31 and α-SMA induced by activin B in vivo. The RNA sequencing showed that the differentially expressed genes in Cdc42N17-transfected ADSCs versus ADSCs were associated with cell migration, proliferation, and adhesion. Further study revealed that the Cdc42-Erk-Srf pathway was required for activin B-induced proliferation in ADSCs. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates that Cdc42 plays a crucial role in ADSCs-mediated skin wound healing induced by activin B.

Abstract
IQ motif-containing guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase)-activating protein 1 (IQGAP1) is a cytosolic scaffolding protein involved in cell migration. Our previous studies suggest sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) triggers bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) to damaged liver, thereby promoting liver fibrosis. However, the role of IQGAP1 in S1P-induced BMSC migration and liver fibrogenesis remains unclear. Chimeric mice of BM cell labeled by EGFP were used to build methionine-choline-deficient and high-fat (MCDHF)-diet-induced mouse liver fibrosis. IQGAP1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was utilized to silence IQGAP1 in vivo. IQGAP1 expression is significantly elevated in MCDHF-diet-induced mouse fibrotic livers. Positive correlations are presented between IQGAP1 and fibrosis hallmarks expressions in human and mouse fibrotic livers. In vitro, depressing IQGAP1 expression blocks S1P-induced motility and cytoskeleton remodeling of BMSCs. S1P facilitates IQGAP1 aggregating to plasma membrane via S1P receptor 3 (S1PR3) and Cdc42/Rac1. In addition, IQGAP1 binds to Cdc42/Rac1, regulating S1P-induced activation of Cdc42/Rac1 and mediating BMSC migration in concert. In vivo, silencing IQGAP1 reduces the recruitment of BMSCs to impaired liver and effectively alleviates liver fibrosis induced by MCDHF diet. Together, silencing IQGAP1 relieves liver fibrosis by blocking BMSC migration, providing an effective therapeutic strategy for liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Survival of mesenchymal stem cells in the bone marrow is essential for bone marrow microenvironment homeostasis, but the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. RIPK1 has emerged as a critical molecule of programmed cell death in tissue homeostasis. However, little is known about the regulation of RIPK1 on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Here, we have investigated for the first time the role of RIPK1 in bone marrow MSCs. We have found that RIPK1 knockdown suppressed proliferation, differentiation, and migration in bone marrow MSCs. Furthermore, RIPK1 knockdown resulted in the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) and mtDNA damage, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, and consequently induced apoptosis and necroptosis in bone marrow MSCs. Moreover, we identified that the p53-PUMA axis pathway was involved in mitochondrial dysfunction in RIPK1-deficient bone marrow MSCs. Together, our findings highlighted that RIPK1 was indispensable for bone marrow MSC survival.

Abstract
It has been known that moderate mechanical loading, like that caused by exercise, promotes bone formation. However, its underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here we showed that moderate running dramatically improved trabecular bone in mice tibias with an increase in bone volume fraction and trabecular number and a decrease in trabecular pattern factor. Results of immunohistochemical and histochemical staining revealed that moderate running mainly increased the number of osteoblasts but had no effect on osteoclasts. In addition, we observed a dramatic increase in the number of colony forming unit-fibroblast in endosteal bone marrow and the percentage of CD45- Leptin receptor+ (CD45- LepR+ ) endosteal mesenchymal progenitors. Bioinformatics analysis of the transcriptional data from gene expression omnibus (GEO) database identified chemokine c-c-motif ligands (CCL2) as a critical candidate induced by mechanical loading. Interestingly, we found that CCL2 was up-regulated mainly in osteoblastic cells in the tibia of mice after moderate running. Further, we found that mechanical loading up-regulated the expression of CCL2 by activating ERK1/2 pathway, thereby stimulating migration of endosteal progenitors. Finally, neutralizing CCL2 abolished the recruitment of endosteal progenitors and the increased bone formation in mice after 4 weeks running. These results therefore uncover an unknown connection between osteoblasts and endosteal progenitors recruited in the increased bone formation induced by mechanical loading.

Abstract
Neurological disorders are becoming a growing burden as society ages, and there is a compelling need to address this spiraling problem. Stem cell-based regenerative medicine is becoming an increasingly attractive approach to designing therapies for such disorders. The unique characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) make them among the most sought after cell sources. Researchers have extensively studied the modulatory properties of MSCs and their engineering, labeling, and delivery methods to the brain. The first part of this review provides an overview of studies on the application of MSCs to various neurological diseases, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other less frequently studied clinical entities. In the second part, stem cell delivery to the brain is focused. This fundamental but still understudied problem needs to be overcome to apply stem cells to brain diseases successfully. Here the value of cell engineering is also emphasized to facilitate MSC diapedesis, migration, and homing to brain areas affected by the disease to implement precision medicine paradigms into stem cell-based therapies.

Abstract
Human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (hMSCs) have garnered enormous interest as a potential resource for cell‐based therapies. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating senescence in hMSCs remain unclear. To elucidate these mechanisms, we performed gene expression profiling to compare clonal immature MSCs exhibiting multipotency with less potent MSCs. We found that the transcription factor Frizzled 5 (FZD5) is expressed specifically in immature hMSCs. The FZD5 cell surface antigen was also highly expressed in the primary MSC fraction (LNGFR+THY‐1+) and cultured MSCs. Treatment of cells with the FZD5 ligand WNT5A promoted their proliferation. Upon FZD5 knockdown, hMSCs exhibited markedly attenuated proliferation and differentiation ability. The observed increase in the levels of senescence markers suggested that FZD5 knockdown promotes cellular senescence by regulating the noncanonical Wnt pathway. Conversely, FZD5 overexpression delayed cell cycle arrest during the continued culture of hMSCs. These results indicated that the intrinsic activation of FZD5 plays an essential role in negatively regulating senescence in hMSCs and suggested that controlling FZD5 signaling offers the potential to regulate hMSC quality and improve the efficacy of cell‐replacement therapies using hMSCs.

Abstract
Rho GTPases are known to play an essential role in fundamental processes such as defining cell shape, polarity and migration. As such, the majority of Rho GTPases localize and function at, or close to, the plasma membrane. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that a number of Rho family proteins are also associated with the Golgi complex, where they not only regulate events at this organelle but also more widely across the cell. Given the central location of this organelle, and the numerous membrane trafficking pathways that connect it to both the endocytic and secretory systems of cells, it is clear that the Golgi is fundamental for maintaining cellular homoeostasis. In this review, we describe these GTPases in the context of how they regulate Golgi architecture, membrane trafficking into and away from this organelle, and cell polarity and migration. We summarize the key findings that show the growing importance of the pool of Rho GTPases associated with Golgi function, namely Cdc42, RhoA, RhoD, RhoBTB1 and RhoBTB3, and we discuss how they act in concert with other key families of molecules associated with the Golgi, including Rab GTPases and matrix proteins.

Abstract
Synovial mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an attractive cell source for transplantation because of their high chondrogenic potential, especially in areas like the meniscus of the knee. A synovial MSC suspension placed onto the meniscus for 10 min promoted healing of repaired meniscal tears that generally do not heal. Here, we quantified the proportion of human synovial MSCs that adhered to a porcine abraded meniscus, clarified their morphological changes, and revealed the mechanism by which the synovial MSCs adhered to the meniscus. The numbers of adhering cells at immediately after 10, 60 min and 6, 24 h after suspension placement were calculated. The meniscus surface was examined by scanning electron microscopy, and 50 cells were randomly selected at each time period, classified, and quantified for each of the six donors. Approximately 28% of the synovial MSCs immediately adhered to the meniscus after placement and the proportion of adhered cells increased further with time. All cells maintained a round shape for 60 min, and then transformed to a mixture of round and semi-flattened cells. By 24 h, flattened cells covered the meniscus. Microspikes were observed in 36% of the floating synovial MSCs and in 76% of the cells on the meniscus shortly after placement on the meniscus, then the proportion of cells with pseudopodia increased. The bleb-dominant cell proportion significantly decreased, and the smooth-dominant cell proportion increased within 60 min. Microspikes or the bodies of synovial MSCs were trapped by meniscal fibers immediately after placement. The proportion of adhered cells increased with time, and the cell morphology changed dynamically for 24 h as the synovial MSCs adhered to the meniscus. The MSCs in the round morphological state had a heterogeneous morphology. The microspikes, and the subsequent development of pseudopodia, may play an important role in adhesion onto the meniscus.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for tissue regeneration and repair. However, efficient targeted delivery to specific tissues remains an open challenge. Here, we non-invasively monitored the migration of MSCs labeled with Fe3O4@polydopamine nanoparticles (Fe3O4@PDA NPs) toward laser burn injury sites in a living rat model and evaluated the effects of the labeled MSCs at the injury site. The Fe3O4@PDA NPs could be effectively incorporated into the MSCs without any negative effects on stem cell properties. Furthermore, they enhanced the migration ability of the MSCs by up-regulating the expression level of C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4). They also increased the secretion of some cytokines and the expression of healing-related genes in comparison with unlabeled MSCs. Labeled MSCs were intravenously administered into injured rats, and live imaging was performed to monitor MSC migration. Fluorescent signals of the labeled MSCs appeared at burn injury lesions 1 day after injection and then gradually increased up to 7 days. After 7 days, the group injected with the labeled MSCs showed less inflammation compared with those injected with the unlabeled MSCs. Additionally, the labeled MSC group showed increased cytokines and reduced pro-inflammatory factors compared with the unlabeled MSC group. The Fe3O4@PDA NPs enhanced stromal cell-derived factor-1/CXCR4-mediated MSC migration in vivo. Thus, we demonstrated the safety, feasibility, and potential efficacy of using the Fe3O4@PDA NPs for optimizing MSC-based therapeutic strategies for burn wound healing.
