Abstract
Due to their immunomodulatory function, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a promising therapeutic with the potential to treat neuroinflammation associated with neurodegenerative diseases. This function is mediated by secreted extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs). Despite established safety, MSC clinical translation has been unsuccessful due to inconsistent clinical outcomes resulting from functional heterogeneity. Current approaches to mitigate functional heterogeneity include 'priming' MSCs with inflammatory signals to enhance function. However, comprehensive evaluation of priming and its effects on MSC-EV function has not been performed. Furthermore, clinical translation of MSC-EV therapies requires significant manufacturing scale-up, yet few studies have investigated the effects of priming in bioreactors. As MSC morphology has been shown to predict their immunomodulatory function, we screened MSC morphological response to an array of priming signals and evaluated MSC-EV identity and potency in response to priming in flasks and bioreactors. We identified unique priming conditions corresponding to distinct morphologies. These conditions demonstrated a range of MSC-EV preparation quality and lipidome, allowing us to discover a novel MSC-EV manufacturing condition, as well as gain insight into potential mechanisms of MSC-EV microglia modulation. Our novel screening approach and application of priming to MSC-EV bioreactor manufacturing informs refinement of larger-scale manufacturing and enhancement of MSC-EV function.

Abstract
The cGAS-STING pathway, a crucial component of innate immunity, has garnered attention as a potential therapeutic target for tumor treatment, but targeting this pathway is complicated by diverse feedback mechanisms of the cGAS-STING pathway. In this study, we demonstrated that STING activation enhanced the expression of CD73 and the subsequent production of adenosine in immune cells and cancer cells. Mechanistically, the feedback activation of CD73 depended on the type I IFN/IFNAR axis induced by STING activation. Furthermore, the combination of STING agonist and anti-CD73 mAb markedly blocked tumor growth in vivo by promoting the infiltration of CD8+ T cells and reducing the accumulation of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumor microenvironment. Our work provides a rationale for the combination of STING agonists and CD73 inhibitors in cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
In recent years, carbon nanotubes have emerged as a widely used nanomaterial, but their human exposure has become a significant concern. In our former study, we reported that pulmonary exposure of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) promoted tumor metastasis of breast cancer; macrophages were key effectors of MWCNTs and contributed to the metastasis-promoting procedure in breast cancer, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be explored. As a follow-up study, we herein demonstrated that MWCNT exposure in breast cancer cells and macrophage coculture systems promoted metastasis of breast cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo; macrophages were skewed into M2 polarization by MWCNT exposure. LncRNA NBR2 was screened out to be significantly decreased in MWCNTs-stimulated macrophages through RNA-seq; depletion of NBR2 led to the acquisition of M2 phenotypes in macrophages by activating multiple M2-related pathways. Specifically, NBR2 was found to positively regulate the downstream gene TBX1 through H3k27ac activation. TBX1 silence rescued NBR2-induced impairment of M2 polarization in IL-4 & IL-13-stimulated macrophages. Moreover, NBR2 overexpression mitigated the enhancing effects of MWCNT-exposed macrophages on breast cancer metastasis. This study uncovered the molecular mechanisms underlying breast cancer metastasis induced by MWCNT exposure.

Abstract
Cinobufagin (CBG) is a natural active substance. Although its various pharmacological activities have been explored, the immunomodulatory activity of CBG remains unexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities of CBG ex vivo and in vivo. The immunomodulatory activity of CBG was investigated in RAW 264.7 cells. CBG showed no significant toxicity to cells. Additionally, 0.5-8 μg/mL CBG significantly increased the phagocytosis ability of macrophages and the secretion levels of IL-1β and TNF-α. Thus, it exerted immunomodulatory effects. We established the immunosuppressive model induced by cyclophosphamide (CTX) in mice and studied the immunomodulatory activity of CBG in vivo. The experimental results showed that the intervention of CBG alleviated the CTX-induced weight loss, restored the lymphocyte nuclear cell number, and promoted the secretion and mRNA expression of cytokines IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-6, and IL-12. Moreover, CBG increased the immune organ index, protected the growth of the spleen and thymus, and improved the pathological changes in immunosuppressed mice. Western blot results showed that different concentrations of CBG upregulated the phosphorylation level of PI3K/Akt/mTOR in the spleen of CTX-induced immunosuppressed mice. This suggests that the immunomodulatory effect of CBG may be related to the regulation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. This study provides a theoretical basis for developing CBG immune enhancers and opens up new ideas for the comprehensive utilization and development of CBG in factories.

Abstract
DNA damage occurs across tumorigenesis and tumor development. Tumor intrinsic DNA damage can not only increase the risk of mutations responsible for tumor generation but also initiate a cellular stress response to orchestrate the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and dominate tumor progression. Accumulating evidence documents that multiple signaling pathways, including cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) and ataxia telangiectasia-mutated protein/ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATM/ATR), are activated downstream of DNA damage and they are associated with the secretion of diverse cytokines. These cytokines possess multifaced functions in the anti-tumor immune response. Thus, it is necessary to deeply interpret the complex TIME reshaped by damaged DNA and tumor-derived cytokines, critical for the development of effective tumor therapies. This manuscript comprehensively reviews the relationship between the DNA damage response and related cytokines in tumors and depicts the dual immunoregulatory roles of these cytokines. We also summarize clinical trials targeting signaling pathways and cytokines associated with DNA damage and provide future perspectives on emerging technologies.

Abstract
The jawbone, a unique structure in the human body, undergoes faster remodeling than other bones due to the presence of stem cells and its distinct immune microenvironment. Long-term exposure of jawbones to an oral environment rich in microbes results in a complex immune balance, as shown by the higher proportion of activated macrophage in the jaw. Stem cells derived from the jawbone have a higher propensity to differentiate into osteoblasts than those derived from other bones. The unique immune microenvironment of the jaw also promotes osteogenic differentiation of jaw stem cells. Here, we summarize the various types of stem cells and immune cells involved in jawbone reconstruction. We describe the mechanism relationship between immune cells and stem cells, including through the production of inflammatory bodies, secretion of cytokines, activation of signaling pathways, etc. In addition, we also comb out cellular interaction of immune cells and stem cells within the jaw under jaw development, homeostasis maintenance and pathological conditions. This review aims to eclucidate the uniqueness of jawbone in the context of stem cell within immune microenvironment, hopefully advancing clinical regeneration of the jawbone.

Abstract
An increase in the extracellular concentration of ATP as a consequence of cellular stress or cell death results in the activation of immune cells. To prevent inflammation, extracellular ATP is rapidly metabolized to adenosine, which deploys an anti-inflammatory signaling cascade upon binding to P1 receptors on immune cells. The ectonucleotidases necessary for the degradation of ATP and generation of adenosine are present on the cell membrane of many immune cells, and their expression is tightly regulated under conditions of inflammation. The discovery that extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry purinergic enzyme activity has brought forward the concept of EVs as a new player in immune regulation. Adenosine-generating EVs derived from cancer cells suppress the anti-tumor response, while EVs derived from immune or mesenchymal stem cells contribute to the restoration of homeostasis after infection. Here we will review the existing knowledge on EVs containing purinergic enzymes and molecules, and discuss the relevance of these EVs in immune modulation and their potential for therapy.

Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates that the immunomodulatory effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is primarily attributed to the paracrine pathway. As a key paracrine effector, MSC-derived exosomes are small vesicles that play an important role in cell-to-cell communication by carrying bioactive substances. We previously found that exosomes derived from tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cells (T-MSCs) were able to effectively attenuate inflammatory responses in mast cells. Here we investigated how T-MSC exosomes impact mast cells in steady state, and how exposure of T-MSCs to Toll-like receptors (TLRs) ligands changes this impact. Transcriptomic analysis of HMC-1 cells, a human mast cell line, using DNA microarrays showed that T-MSC exosomes broadly regulate genes involved in the normal physiology of mast cells. TLR3 or TLR4 primed T-MSC exosomes impacted fewer genes involved in specific functions in mast cells. This distinguishable regulation also was apparent in the analysis of related gene interactions. Our results suggest that MSC exosomes maintain immune homeostasis in normal physiology and impact the inflammatory state by modulating mast cell transcription.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by a dysfunction of the immune system. Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSCs) derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanometer-sized particles carrying a diverse range of bioactive molecules, such as proteins, miRNAs, and lipids. Despite the methodological disparities, recent works on MSC-EVs have highlighted their broad immunosuppressive effect, thus driving forwards the potential of MSC-EVs in the treatment of chronic diseases. Nonetheless, their mechanism of action is still unclear, and better understanding is needed for clinical application. Therefore, we describe in this review the diverse range of bioactive molecules mediating their immunomodulatory effect, the techniques and possibilities for enhancing their immune activity, and finally the potential application to SLE.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells located in different areas of the human body. The oral cavity is considered a potential source of MSCs because they have been identified in several dental tissues (D-MSCs). Clinical trials in which cells from these sources were used have shown that they are effective and safe as treatments for tissue regeneration. Importantly, immunoregulatory capacity has been observed in all of these populations; however, this function may vary among the different types of MSCs. Since this property is of clinical interest for cell therapy protocols, it is relevant to analyze the differences in immunoregulatory capacity, as well as the mechanisms used by each type of MSC. Interestingly, D-MSCs are the most suitable source for regenerating mineralized tissues in the oral region. Furthermore, the clinical potential of D-MSCs is supported due to their adequate capacity for proliferation, migration, and differentiation. There is also evidence for their potential application in protocols against autoimmune diseases and other inflammatory conditions due to their immunosuppressive capacity. Therefore, in this review, the immunoregulatory mechanisms identified at the preclinical level in combination with the different types of MSCs found in dental tissues are described, in addition to a description of the clinical trials in which MSCs from these sources have been applied.

Abstract
Obesity is the best described risk factor for the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) while the major pathogenic mechanism linking these entities is insulin resistance (IR). IR is primarily caused by increased secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, adipokines, and lipids from visceral adipose tissue. Increased fatty acid mobilization results in ectopic fat deposition in the liver which causes endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress resulting in increased cytokine production and subsequent inflammation. Similarly, IR with hyperinsulinemia cause hyperandrogenism, the hallmark of PCOS, and inflammation in the ovaries. Proinflammatory cytokines from both liver and ovaries aggravate IR thus providing a complex interaction between adipose tissue, liver, and ovaries in inducing metabolic abnormalities in obese subjects. Although many pathogenic mechanisms of IR, NAFLD/MASLD, and PCOS are known, there is still no effective therapy for these entities suggesting the need for further evaluation of their pathogenesis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent a novel cross-talk mechanism between organs and include membrane-bound vesicles containing proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids that may change the phenotype and function of target cells. Adipose tissue releases EVs that promote IR, the development of all stages of NAFLD/MASLD and PCOS, while mesenchymal stem cell-derived AVs may alleviate metabolic abnormalities and may represent a novel therapeutic device in NAFLD/MASLD, and PCOS. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current knowledge on the role of adipose tissue-derived EVs in the pathogenesis of IR, NAFLD/MASLD, and PCOS.

Abstract
Aim The present study evaluated the therapeutic effects of luteolin in alleviating pulpitis of dental pulp- (DP-) derived microvesicles (MVs) via the inhibition of protein kinase R- (PKR-) mediated inflammation. Methodology. Proteomic analysis of immortalized human dental pulp (DP-1) cell-derived MVs was performed to identify PKR-associated molecules. The effect of luteolin on PKR phosphorylation in DP-1 cells and the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in THP-1 macrophage-like cells were validated. The effect of luteolin on cell proliferation was compared with that of chemical PKR inhibitors (C16 and 2-AP) and the unique commercially available sedative guaiacol-parachlorophenol. In the dog experimental pulpitis model, the pulps were treated with (1) saline, (2) guaiacol-parachlorophenol, and (3) luteolin. Sixteen teeth from four dogs were extracted, and the pulp tissues were analyzed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to analyze the expression of phosphorylated PKR (pPKR), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and CD68. Experimental endodontic-periodontal complex lesions were established in mouse molar through a silk ligature and simultaneous MV injection. MVs were prepared from DP-1 cells with or without pretreatment with 2-AP or luteolin. A three-dimensional microcomputed tomography analysis was performed on day 7 (n = 6). Periodontal bone resorption volumes were calculated for each group (nonligated-ligated), and the ratio of bone volume to tissue volume was measured. Results Proteomic analysis identified an endogenous PKR activator, and a protein activator of interferon-induced PKR, also known as PACT, was included in MVs. Luteolin inhibited the expressions of pPKR in DP-1 cells and TNF-α in THP-1 cells with the lowest suppression of cell proliferation. In the dog model of experimental pulpitis, luteolin treatment suppressed the expression of pPKR-, MPO-, and CD68-positive cells in pulp tissues, whereas guaiacol-parachlorophenol treatment caused coagulative necrosis and disruption. In a mouse model of endodontic-periodontal complex lesions, luteolin treatment significantly decreased MV-induced alveolar bone resorption. Conclusion Luteolin is an effective and safe compound that inhibits PKR activation in DP-derived MVs, enabling pulp preservation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The traditional treatment of diabetic wounds is unsatisfactory. Exosomes isolated from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) promote the healing of diabetic wounds. However, whether the exosomes secreted by interferon (IFN)-γ-pretreated BMSCs have an enhanced therapeutic effect on diabetic wound healing and the relevant mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS In this study, we isolated exosomes from the corresponding supernatants of BMSCs with (IExos) or without IFN-γ treatment (NExos). Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used to investigate the proliferation, migration, and tube formation under different treatments in vitro. Diabetic mice were induced by intraperitoneal administration of streptozotocin, and a circular full-thickness dermal defect was then made on the back of each mouse, followed by a multisite subcutaneous injection of phosphate buffered saline or exosomes. Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining, Masson's trichrome staining, and histological analysis were performed to assess the speed and quality of wound healing. RESULTS NExos treatment accelerated the healing of diabetic wounds by promoting angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro, and IExos exhibited superior therapeutic efficiency. MicroRNA (miR)-126-3p was significantly increased in IExos, and exosomal miR-126-3p promoted angiogenesis and diabetic wound healing via its transfer to HUVECs. miR-126-3p regulates SPRED1 by directly targeting the 3'-UTR. Mechanistically, IFN-γ-pretreated BMSCs secreted miR-126-3p-enriched exosomes, which enhanced the function of HUVECs and promoted angiogenesis via the SPRED1/Ras/Erk pathway. CONCLUSION Exosomal miR-126-3p secreted from IFN-γ-pretreated BMSCs exhibited higher therapeutic efficacy than NExos in diabetic wound healing by promoting angiogenesis via the SPRED1/Ras/Erk axis.

Abstract
Introduction: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have demonstrated therapeutic properties both in vitro and in vivo to treat various diseases, including anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and pro-angiogenic effects. These therapeutic effects are mediated by their secretome composed of soluble factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs). The composition of EVs reflects the molecular and functional characteristics of parental cells. MSC preconditioning can alter the composition of EVs, thereby influencing their therapeutic potential. Methods: MSCs were subjected to preconditioning with two cytokines, TNFα and IFNγ. Following 24 h of preconditioning, MSC-EVs secreted into the culture supernatant were isolated through tangential filtration. Particle concentration and size distribution were measured by nanoparticle tracking analysis, and the surface antigen expression of the EV-specific CD63 was quantified via Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay. The angiogenic potential of MSCEVs obtained after preconditioning MSCs was assessed by the analysis of their protein composition and their influence on human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVECs) proliferation, migration, and tube-forming ability. Results: Preconditioning with TNFα and IFNγ did not influence the MSC-EV profile but did induce changes in their protein content. Indeed, the expression of pro-angiogenic proteins increased in EVs from preconditioned MSCs compared to EVs from no-preconditioned MSCs. EVs from preconditioned MSCs tend to stimulate HUVEC migration, proliferation and tubeforming ability. These observations imply the presence of a pro-angiogenic potential in EVs obtained after preconditioning of MSCs with TNFα and IFNγ. Discussion: In conclusion, it appears that the pro-angiogenic potential of EVs is enhanced through preconditioning of MSCs with TNFα and IFNγ. The use of these MSCs-EVs in therapy would circumvent the limitations of current cell-based therapies. Indeed, the therapeutic potential of MSC-EVs presents an attractive strategy for exploiting the clinical benefits of MSC therapy. For example, in the field of regenerative medicine, the exploitation of cell-free therapy using highly pro-angiogenic MSC-EVs is of great interest.

Abstract
Due to their immunomodulatory function, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a promising therapeutic with the potential to treat neuroinflammation associated with neurodegenerative diseases. This function can be mediated by secreted extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs). Despite established safety, MSC clinical translation has been unsuccessful due to inconsistent clinical outcomes resulting from functional heterogeneity. Current approaches to mitigate functional heterogeneity include 'priming' MSCs with inflammatory signals to enhance function. However, comprehensive evaluation of priming and its effects on MSC-EV function has not been performed. Clinical translation of MSC-EV therapies requires significant manufacturing scale-up, yet few studies have investigated the effects of priming in bioreactors. As MSC morphology has been shown to predict their immunomodulatory function, we screened MSC morphological response to an array of priming signals and evaluated MSC-EV identity and potency in response to priming in flasks and bioreactors. We identified unique priming conditions corresponding to distinct morphologies. These conditions demonstrated a range of MSC-EV preparation quality and lipidome, allowing us to discover a novel MSC-EV manufacturing condition, as well as gain insight into potential mechanisms of MSC-EV microglia modulation. Our novel screening approach and application of priming to MSC-EV bioreactor manufacturing informs refinement of larger-scale manufacturing and enhancement of MSC-EV function.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a critical role in various physiological and pathological processes. EVs have gained recognition in regenerative medicine due to their biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. However, the practical application of EVs faces challenges such as limited targeting ability, low yield, and inadequate therapeutic effects. To overcome these limitations, engineered EVs have emerged. This review aims to comprehensively analyze the engineering methods utilized for modifying donor cells and EVs, with a focus on comparing the therapeutic potential between engineered and natural EVs. Additionally, it aims to investigate the specific cell effects that play a crucial role in promoting repair and regeneration, while also exploring the underlying mechanisms involved in the field of regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (mesenchymal stromal cells, MSC) are multipotent stem cells that can differentiate into cells of at least three mesodermal lineages, namely adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes, and have potent immunomodulatory properties. Epigenetic modifications are critical regulators of gene expression and cellular differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Epigenetic machinery controls MSC differentiation through direct modifications to DNA and histones. Understanding the role of epigenetic machinery in MSC is crucial for the development of effective cell-based therapies for degenerative and inflammatory diseases. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the role of epigenetic control of MSC differentiation and immunomodulatory properties.

Abstract
PURPOSE Necroptosis plays an essential role in oncogenesis and tumor progression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to investigate the role of necroptosis in the development and progression of HCC. Specifically, we constructed a prognostic prediction model using necroptosis-associated genes (NAGs) to predict patient outcomes. METHODS Using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we analyzed gene expression and clinical data. We identified a 5-gene model associated with NAGs and explored genetic features and immune cell infiltration using the CIBERSORT algorithm. In addition, we conducted single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate the potential role of necroptosis in HCC. RESULTS We constructed a 5-gene prognostic model based on NAGs that demonstrated excellent predictive accuracy in both training and validation sets. Using multifactorial cox regression analysis, we confirmed the risk score derived from the model as an independent predictor of prognosis, surpassing other clinical characteristics. Patients with high risk scores had significantly worse prognosis than those with low risk scores. To enhance the clinical utility of the necroptosis score, we constructed an accurate nomogram. Additionally, we compared metabolic pathway and immune microenvironment differences between HCC tumors with high and low risk scores. Our single-cell RNA sequencing analyses revealed that necroptosis in HCC was primarily associated with a specific subset of macrophages. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed the presence of two distinct necroptosis subtypes in HCC and developed a robust prognostic model with exceptional predictive accuracy. We observed significantly higher infiltration of M0 macrophages in the high-risk group. We propose that rescuing cytochrome c metabolism in HCC could serve as a potential therapeutic strategy. Furthermore, at a single-cell resolution, our analysis identified myeloid cells as the primary cells exhibiting necroptosis. Specifically, macrophages expressing CD5L, CETP, and MARCO, which may belong to a subset of tissue-resident macrophages, were found to be highly susceptible to necroptosis. These findings suggest the involvement of this specific macrophage subset in potential antitumor therapies. Our study provides novel insights into predicting patient prognosis and developing personalized therapeutic approaches for HCC.

Abstract
Ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73), encoded by the NT5E gene, mediates tumor immunosuppression and has been targeted for the development of new anticancer drugs. Proteasome inhibitors impair protein degradation by inhibiting proteasome and have been used in the clinic for cancer therapy. Here we report that proteasome inhibitors reduce the protein and mRNA levels of CD73. Among 127 tested small-molecule drugs, proteasome inhibitors were found to consistently decrease the protein and mRNA levels of CD73 in NSCLC NCI-H1299 cells. This effect was further confirmed in different NSCLC cells exposed to different proteasome inhibitors. In those treated cells, the protein levels of ERK and its active form p-ERK, the vital components in the MAPK pathway, were reduced. Consistently, inhibitors of MEK and ERK, another two members of the MAPK pathway, also lowered the protein and mRNA levels of CD73. Correspondingly, treatments with fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), an activator of the MAPK pathway, enhanced the levels of p-ERK and partly rescued the proteasome inhibitor-driven reduction of CD73 mRNA and protein in NSCLC cells. However, exogenous CD73 overexpression in murine Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells was not lowered either in vitro or in vivo, by the treatments with proteasome inhibitors and basically, did not affect their in vitro proliferative inhibition either. In contrast, CD73 overexpression dramatically reduced the in vivo anticancer activity of Bortezomib in immunocompetent mice, with tumor growth inhibition rates from 52.18 % for LLC/vector down to 8.75 % for LLC/NT5E homografts. These findings give new insights into the anticancer mechanisms of proteasome inhibitors.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been reported to display efficacy in a variety of preclinical models, but without long-term engraftment, suggesting a role for secreted factors, such as MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). MSCs are known to elicit immunomodulatory effects, an important aspect of which is their ability to affect macrophage phenotype. However, it is not clear if these effects are mediated by MSC-derived EVs, or other factors secreted by the MSCs. Here, we use flow cytometry to assess the effects of human umbilical cord (hUC) MSC-derived EVs on the expression of pro-inflammatory (CD80) and anti-inflammatory (CD163) surface markers in human monocyte-derived macrophages (hMDMs). hUC-MSC-derived EVs did not change the surface marker expression of the hMDMs. In contrast, when hMDMs were co-incubated with hUC-MSCs in indirect co-cultures, changes were observed in the expression of CD14, CD80 and CD163, particularly in M1 macrophages, suggesting that soluble factors are necessary to elicit a shift in phenotype. However, even though EVs did not alter the surface marker expression of macrophages, they promoted angiogenesis and phagocytic capacity increased proportionally to increases in EV concentration. Taken together, these results suggest that hUC-MSC-derived EVs are not sufficient to alter macrophage phenotype and that additional MSC-derived factors are needed.

Abstract
Sepsis is a syndrome of dysregulated host response caused by infection, which leads to life-threatening organ dysfunction. It is a familiar reason of death in critically ill patients. Liver injury frequently occurs in septic patients, yet the development of targeted and effective treatment strategies remains a pressing challenge. Macrophages are essential parts of immunity system. M1 macrophages drive inflammation, whereas M2 macrophages possess anti-inflammatory properties and contribute to tissue repair processes. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), known for their remarkable attributes including homing capabilities, immunomodulation, anti-inflammatory effects, and tissue regeneration potential, hold promise in enhancing the prognosis of sepsis-induced liver injury by harmonizing the delicate balance of M1/M2 macrophage polarization. This review discusses the mechanisms by which MSCs regulate macrophage polarization, alongside the signaling pathways involved, providing an idea for innovative directions in the treatment of sepsis-induced liver injury.

Abstract
Bone healing is associated with many orthopedic conditions, including fractures and osteonecrosis, arthritis, metabolic bone disease, tumors and periprosthetic particle-associated osteolysis. How to effectively promote bone healing has become a keen topic for researchers. The role of macrophages and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in bone healing has gradually come to light with the development of the concept of osteoimmunity. Their interaction regulates the balance between inflammation and regeneration, and when the inflammatory response is over-excited, attenuated, or disturbed, it results in the failure of bone healing. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the function of macrophages and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in bone regeneration and the relationship between the two could provide new directions to promote bone healing. This paper reviews the role of macrophages and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in bone healing and the mechanism and significance of their interaction. Several new therapeutic ideas for regulating the inflammatory response in bone healing by targeting macrophages and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells crosstalk are also discussed.

Abstract
Periodontal tissue regeneration is a major challenge in tissue engineering due to its regenerated environment complexity. It aims to regenerate not only the supporting alveolar bone and cementum around teeth but also the key connecting periodontal ligament. Herein, a constructed aligned porous hydrogel scaffold carrying cells based on chitosan (CHI) and oxidized chondroitin sulfate (OCS) treated with a freeze-casting technique was fabricated, which aimed to induce the arrangement of periodontal tissue regeneration. The microscopic morphology and physical and chemical properties of the hydrogel scaffold were evaluated. The biocompatibilities with periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) or gingival-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) were verified, respectively, by Live/Dead staining and CCK8 in vitro. Furthermore, the regeneration effect of the aligned porous hydrogel scaffold combined with PDLSCs and GMSCs was evaluated in vivo. The biocompatibility experiments showed no statistical significance between the hydrogel culture group and blank control (P > 0.05). In a rat periodontal defect model, PDLSC and GMSC hydrogel experimental groups showed more pronounced bone tissue repair than the blank control (P < 0.05) in micro-CT. In addition, there was more tissue repair (P < 0.05) of PDLSC and GMSC hydrogel groups from histological staining images. Higher expressions of OPN, Runx-2, and COL-I were detected in both of the above groups via immunohistochemistry staining. More importantly, the group with the aligned porous hydrogel induced more order periodontal ligament formation than that with the ordinary hydrogel in Masson's trichrome analysis. Collectively, it is expected to promote periodontal tissue regeneration utilizing an aligned porous hydrogel scaffold combined with PDLSCs and GMSCs (CHI-OCS-PDLSC/GMSC composite), which provides an alternative possibility for clinical application.

Abstract
There is a "goldilocks" aspect to potency assays. On the one hand, a comprehensive evaluation of the cell product with detailed quantitative measurement of the critical quality attribute/s of the desired biological activity is required. On the other hand, the potency assay benefits from simplification and lean approaches that avoid unnecessary complication and enhance robustness, to provide a reproducible and scalable product. There is a need to balance insightful knowledge of complex biological healing processes with straightforward manufacture of an advanced therapeutic medicinal product (ATMP) that can be administered in a trustworthy cost-effective manner. While earlier chapters within this book have highlighted numerous challenges facing the potency assay conundrum, this chapter offers a forward-looking perspective regarding the many recent advances concerning acellular products, cryopreservation, induced MSC, cell priming, nanotechnology, 3D culture, regulatory guidelines and evolving institutional roles, that are likely to facilitate potency assay development in the future.

Abstract
Autophagy and apoptosis are two important regulatory mechanisms for how the body can respond to diseases. This study was designed to investigate the protective actions of vitamin E (Vit-E) and lactobacillus plantarum (Lac-B) against mercuric chloride (HgCl2)-induced kidney injury. Thirty albino rats were divided into five groups: group 1 served as the normal group; rats in group 2 received high doses of HgCl2; rats in groups 3, 4 and 5 were given Vit-E, Lac-B and the combination of Vit-E and Lac-B, respectively along with HgCl2 for two weeks. HgCl2 provoked renal injury, manifested by elevation in serum urea, urea nitrogen and creatinine. Kidney levels of oxidative stress and inflammation were markedly increased post HgCl2 administration. Moreover, HgCl2 significantly elevated the gene expression levels of VCAM-1 and cystatin C, while podocin was downregulated. Additionally, it markedly decreased the protein expression of Beclin-1 and Bcl-2. Histopathological examination revealed massive degeneration with congested blood vessels following HgCl2 administration. Treatment with Vit-E or/and Lac-B restored the normal levels of the previously mentioned parameters, as well as improved the morphology of kidney tissues. Both Vit-E and Lac-B provided a protective effect against HgCl2-induced kidney damage by regulating autophagy and apoptosis.

Abstract
The expression profiles of exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) are regulated by the microenvironment, and appropriate priming with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is one of the strategies to enhance the paracrine potency of MSCs. Our previous work demonstrated that exosomes from tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-primed human gingiva-derived MSCs (GMSCs) could be a therapeutic tool against periodontitis, and that TNFα-inducible exosomal miR-1260b is essential for the inhibition of alveolar bone loss. However, the precise molecular mechanism underlying miR-1260b-mediated inhibition of osteoclastogenesis is not yet fully understood. Here, we found that the activating transcription factor (ATF)-6β, a novel miR-1260b-targeting gene, is critical for the regulation of osteoclastogenesis under endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. An experimental periodontal mouse model demonstrated that induction of ER stress was accompanied by enhanced ATF6β expression, and local administration of miR-1260b and ATF6β siRNA using polyethylenimine nanoparticles (PEI-NPs) significantly suppressed the periodontal bone resorption. In periodontal ligament (PDL) cells, the ER stress inducer, tunicamycin, enhanced the expression of the receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), while miR-1260b-mediated downregulation of ATF6β caused RANKL inhibition. Furthermore, the secretome from miR-1260b/ATF6β-axis-activated PDL cells inhibited osteoclastogenesis in human CD14+ peripheral blood-derived monocytes. These results indicate that the miR-1260b/ATF6β axis mediates the regulation of ER stress, which may be used as a novel therapeutic strategy to treat periodontal disease.
