Abstract
Condylar resorption is an aggressive and disability form of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) degenerative disease, usually non-respondent to conservative or minimally invasive therapies and often leading to surgical intervention and prostheses implantation. This condition is also one of the most dreaded postoperative complications of orthognathic surgery, with severe cartilage erosion and loss of subchondral bone volume and mineral density, associated with a painful or not inflammatory processes. Because regenerative medicine has emerged as an alternative for orthopedic cases with advanced degenerative joint disease, we conducted a phase I/IIa clinical trial (U1111-1194-6997) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous nasal septal chondroprogenitor cells. Ten participants underwent biopsy of the nasal septum cartilage during their orthognathic surgery. The harvested cells were cultured in vitro and analyzed for viability, presence of phenotype markers for mesenchymal stem and/or chondroprogenitor cells, and the potential to differentiate into chondrocytes, adipocytes, and osteoblasts. After the intra-articular injection of the cell therapy, clinical follow-up was performed using the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) and computed tomography (CT) images. No serious adverse events related to the cell therapy injection were observed during the 12-month follow-up period. It was found that autologous chondroprogenitors reduced arthralgia, promoted stabilization of mandibular function and condylar volume, and regeneration of condylar tissues. This study demonstrates that chondroprogenitor cells from the nasal septum may be a promise strategy for the treatment of temporomandibular degenerative joint disease that do not respond to other conservative therapies.

Abstract
Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) are commonly used polymers in 3D printing for biomedical applications. Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) are an accessible and proliferative source of stem cells with significant differentiation potential. Limited knowledge exists regarding the biocompatibility and genetic safety of ABS and PLA when in contact with DPSCs. This study aimed to investigate the impact of PLA and ABS on the adhesion, proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, genetic stability, proteomics, and immunophenotypic profile of DPSCs. A total of three groups, 1- DPSC-control, 2- DPSC+ABS, and 3- DPSC+PLA, were used in in vitro experiments to evaluate cell morphology, proliferation, differentiation capabilities, genetic stability, proteomics (secretome), and immunophenotypic profiles regarding the interaction between DPSCs and polymers. Both ABS and PLA supported the adhesion and proliferation of DPSCs without exhibiting significant cytotoxic effects and maintaining the capacity for osteogenic differentiation. Genetic stability, proteomics, and immunophenotypic profiles were unaltered in DPSCs post-contact with these polymers, highlighting their biosafety. Our findings suggest that ABS and PLA are biocompatible with DPSCs and demonstrate potential in dental or orthopedic applications; the choice of the polymer will depend on the properties required in treatment. These promising results stimulate further studies to explore the potential therapeutic applications in vivo using prototyped polymers in personalized medicine.

Abstract
To evaluate safety and therapeutic effect along 12 months of allogenic adipose tissue-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) transplantation with cholecalciferol (VITD) in patients with recent-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D). Prospective, phase II, open trial, pilot study in which patients with recent onset T1D received ASCs (1xKgx106 cells) and VITD 2000UI/day for 12 months (group 1) and were compared to controls with standard insulin therapy (group 2). Adverse events, C-peptide area under the curve (CPAUC), insulin dose, HbA1c and frequency of FoxP3+ in CD4+ or CD8+ T-cells(flow cytometry) were evaluated at baseline(T0), after 3(T3), 6(T6) and 12 months(T12). Eleven patients completed follow up (7:group 1;4:group 2). Group 1 had lower insulin requirement at T3(0.24±0.18vs0.53±0.23UI/kg,p=0.04), T6(0.24±0.15vs0.66±0.33 UI/kg,p=0.04) and T12(0.39±0.15vs0.74±0.29 UI/Kg,p=0.04).HbA1c was lower at T6 (50.57±8.56vs72.25±10.34 mmol/mol,p=0.01), without differences at T12 (57.14±11.98 in group 1 vs. 73.5±14.57 mmol/min in group 2, p=0.16). CPAUC was not significantly different between groups at T0(p=0.07), higher in group 1 at T3(p=0.04) and T6(p=0.006), but similar at T12(p=0.23). IDAA1c was significantly lower in group 1 than group 2 at T3,T6 and T12 (p=0.006, 0.006 and 0.042, respectively). IDDA1c was inversely correlated to FoxP3 expression in CD4 and CD8+ T cells at T6 (p<0.001 and p=0.01, respectively). In group 1, one patient had recurrence of a benign teratoma that was surgically removed, not associated to the intervention. ASCs with VITD without immunosuppression were safe and associated lower insulin requirements, better glycemic control, and transient better pancreatic function in recent onset T1D, but the potential benefits were not sustained.

Abstract
Purpose Robust biomarkers that predict disease outcomes amongst COVID-19 patients are necessary for both patient triage and resource prioritisation. Numerous candidate biomarkers have been proposed for COVID-19. However, at present, there is no consensus on the best diagnostic approach to predict outcomes in infected patients. Moreover, it is not clear whether such tools would apply to other potentially pandemic pathogens and therefore of use as stockpile for future pandemic preparedness. Methods We conducted a multi-cohort observational study to investigate the biology and the prognostic role of interferon alpha-inducible protein 27 (IFI27) in COVID-19 patients. Results We show that IFI27 is expressed in the respiratory tract of COVID-19 patients and elevated IFI27 expression in the lower respiratory tract is associated with the presence of a high viral load. We further demonstrate that the systemic host response, as measured by blood IFI27 expression, is associated with COVID-19 infection. For clinical outcome prediction (e.g., respiratory failure), IFI27 expression displays a high sensitivity (0.95) and specificity (0.83), outperforming other known predictors of COVID-19 outcomes. Furthermore, IFI27 is upregulated in the blood of infected patients in response to other respiratory viruses. For example, in the pandemic H1N1/09 influenza virus infection, IFI27-like genes were highly upregulated in the blood samples of severely infected patients. Conclusion These data suggest that prognostic biomarkers targeting the family of IFI27 genes could potentially supplement conventional diagnostic tools in future virus pandemics, independent of whether such pandemics are caused by a coronavirus, an influenza virus or another as yet-to-be discovered respiratory virus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate neuronal markers in stromal cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) and standardize the isolation and characterization of those cells. METHODOLOGY Healthy primary teeth were collected from children. The cells were isolated by enzymatic digestion with collagenase. By following the International Society for Cell and Gene Therapy (ISCT) guidelines, SHED were characterized by flow cytometry and differentiated into osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineages. Colony-forming unit-fibroblasts (CFU-F) were performed to assess these cells' potential and efficiency. To clarify the neuronal potential of SHED, the expression of nestin and βIII-tubulin were examined by immunofluorescence and SOX1, SOX2, GFAP, and doublecortin (DCX), nestin, CD56, and CD146 by flow cytometry. RESULTS SHED showed mesenchymal stromal cells characteristics, such as adhesion to plastic, positive immunophenotypic profile for CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, and CD166 markers, reduced expression for CD14, CD19, CD34, CD45, HLA-DR, and differentiation in three lineages confirmed by staining and gene expression for adipogenic differentiation. The average efficiency of colony formation was 16.69%. SHED expressed the neuronal markers nestin and βIII-tubulin; the fluorescent signal intensity was significantly higher in βIII-tubulin (p<0.0001) compared to nestin. Moreover, SHED expressed DCX, GFAP, nestin, SOX1, SOX2, CD56, CD146, and CD271. Therefore, SHED had a potential for neuronal lineage even without induction with culture medium and specific factors. CONCLUSION SHEDs may be a new therapeutic strategy for regenerating and repairing neuronal cells and tissues.

Abstract
Endothelial-like cells may be obtained from CD133+ mononuclear cells isolated from human umbilical cord blood (hUCB) and expanded using endothelial-inducing medium (E-CD133 cells). Their use in regenerative medicine has been explored by the potential not only to form vessels but also by the secretion of bioactive elements. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are prominent messengers of this paracrine activity, transporting bioactive molecules that may guide cellular response under different conditions. Using RNA-Seq, we characterized the miRNA content of EVs derived from E-CD133 cells cultivated under normoxia (N-EVs) and hypoxia (H-EVs) and observed that changing the O2 status led to variations in the selective loading of miRNAs in the EVs. In silico analysis showed that among the targets of differentially loaded miRNAs, there are transcripts involved in pathways related to cell growth and survival, such as FoxO and HIF-1 pathways. The data obtained reinforce the pro-regenerative potential of EVs obtained from E-CD133 cells and shows that fine tuning of their properties may be regulated by culture conditions.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been used in immunosuppressive therapy due to their therapeutic effects, with the HLA-G molecule seeming to play a fundamental role. This work evaluated alternative MSC sources to bone marrow (BM), namely, umbilical cord tissue (UC), adipose tissue (AD) and dental pulp tissue (DP), and the influence of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and hypoxia on the cultivation of these cells for use in immunosuppression therapies. Expression of costimulatory markers CD40, CD80 and CD86 and immunosuppressive molecules CD152 and HLA-G was analyzed. Lymphocyte inhibition assays were also performed. Sequencing of the HLA-G gene from exons 1 to 5 was performed using next-generation sequencing to determine the presence of alleles. UC-derived MSCs (UCMSCs) expressed higher CD152 and HLA-G1 under standard cultivation. UCMSCs and DP-derived MSCs (DPSCs) secreted similar levels of HLA-G5. All MSC sources inhibited the proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs); growth under regular versus hypoxic conditions resulted in similar levels of inhibition. When IFN-γ was added, PBMC growth was inhibited to a lesser extent by UCMSCs. The HLA-G*01:04:01:01 allele appears to generate a more efficient MSC response in inhibiting lymphocyte proliferation. However, the strength of this conclusion was limited by the small sample size. UCMSCs are an excellent alternative to BM in immunosuppressive therapy: they express high concentrations of inhibitory molecules and can be cultivated without stimuli, which minimizes cost.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is a branch of regenerative medicine, which comprises the combination of biomaterials, cells and other bioactive molecules to regenerate tissues. Biomaterial scaffolds act as substrate and as physical support for cells and they can also reproduce the extracellular matrix cues. Although tissue engineering applications in cellular therapy tend to focus on the use of specialized cells from particular tissues or stem cells, little attention has been paid to endothelial progenitors, an important cell type in tissue regeneration. We combined 3D printed poly(lactic acid) scaffolds comprising two different pore sizes with human adipose-derived stromal cells (hASCs) and expanded CD133+ cells to evaluate how these two cell types respond to the different architectures. hASCs represent an ideal source of cells for tissue engineering applications due to their low immunogenicity, paracrine activity and ability to differentiate. Expanded CD133+ cells were isolated from umbilical cord blood and represent a source of endothelial-like cells with angiogenic potential. Fluorescence microscopy and scanning electron microscopy showed that both cell types were able to adhere to the scaffolds and maintain their characteristic morphologies. The porous PLA scaffolds stimulated cell cycle progression of hASCs but led to an arrest in the G1 phase and reduced proliferation of expanded CD133+ cells. Also, while hASCs maintained their undifferentiated profile after 7 days of culture on the scaffolds, expanded CD133+ cells presented a reduction of the von Willebrand factor (vWF), which affected the cells’ angiogenic potential. We did not observe changes in cell behavior for any of the parameters analyzed between the scaffolds with different pore sizes, but the 3D environment created by the scaffolds had different effects on the cell types tested. Unlike the extensively used mesenchymal stem cell types, the 3D PLA scaffolds led to opposite behaviors of the expanded CD133+ cells in terms of cytotoxicity, proliferation and immunophenotype. The results obtained reinforce the importance of studying how different cell types respond to 3D culture systems when considering the scaffold approach for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are generated from adult cells that have been reprogrammed to pluripotency. However, in vitro cultivation and genetic reprogramming increase genetic instability, which could result in chromosomal abnormalities. Maintenance of genetic stability after reprogramming is required for possible experimental and clinical applications. The aim of this study was to analyze chromosomal alterations by using the G-banding karyotyping method applied to 97 samples from 38 iPSC cell lines generated from peripheral blood or Wharton’s jelly. Samples from patients with long QT syndrome, Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and from normal individuals revealed the following chromosomal alterations: acentric fragments, chromosomal fusions, premature centromere divisions, double minutes, radial figures, ring chromosomes, polyploidies, inversions and trisomies. An analysis of two samples generated from Wharton’s jelly before and after reprogramming showed that abnormal clones can emerge or be selected and generate an altered lineage. IPSC lines may show clonal and nonclonal chromosomal aberrations in several passages (from P6 to P34), but these aberrations are more common in later passages. Many important chromosomal aberrations were detected, showing that G-banding is very useful for evaluating genetic instability with important repercussions for the application of iPSC lines.

Abstract
The use of regenerative medicine for pets has been growing in recent years, and an increasing number of studies have contributed to the widespread use of cell therapies in clinical veterinary medicine. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be isolated from different sources such as dental pulp and umbilical cord. Aiming safety and reproducibility of cell therapy in clinical practice by using sources easily obtained that are usually discarded, this study isolated, characterized, and evaluated the proliferation and colony formation potential of canine dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (cDPSCs) and canine umbilical cord tissue (cUCSCs). Three samples from each source were collected, isolated, and cultured. MSCs were differentiated into three lineages and quantified by spectrophotometry. For immunophenotypic characterization, antibodies were used to analyze the expression of cell surface markers, and 7-AAD and Annexin-V were used to analyze cell viability and apoptosis, respectively. For the clonogenic assay, cells were cultured, the colonies were stained, and counted. For the proliferation assay, the cells were plated in flasks for three days and added EdU nucleoside. cDPSCs and cUCSCs showed plastic adherence and fibroblastic morphology after cultivation. Both sources showed differentiation potential and showed CD29 and CD44 positivity and CD14, CD45, CD34 and HLA-DR negativity, and low mortality and apoptosis rates. There was no difference in proliferation rates between sources. Overall, although cUCSCs had a higher number of colony-forming units than cDPSCs, both sources presented MSCs characteristics and can be used safely as alternative sources in cell therapy.

Abstract
The coronavirus pandemic is one of the most significant public health events in recent history. Currently, no specific treatment is available. Some drugs and cell-based therapy have been tested as alternatives to decrease the disease's symptoms, length of hospital stay, and mortality. We reported the case of a patient with a severe manifestation of COVID-19 in critical condition who did not respond to the standard procedures used, including six liters of O2 supplementation under a nasal catheter and treatment with dexamethasone and enoxaparin in prophylactic dose. The patient was treated with tocilizumab and an advanced therapy product based on umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSC). The combination of tocilizumab and UC-MSC proved to be safe, with no adverse effects, and the results of this case report prove to be a promising alternative in the treatment of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome due to SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Objective Adipose tissue-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) and vitamin D have immunomodulatory actions that could be useful for type 1 diabetes (T1D). We aimed in this study to investigate the safety and efficacy of ASCs + daily cholecalciferol (VIT D) for 6 months in patients with recent-onset T1D. Methods In this prospective, dual-center, open trial, patients with recent onset T1D received one dose of allogenic ASC (1 × 106 cells/kg) and cholecalciferol 2,000 UI/day for 6 months (group 1). They were compared to patients who received chol-ecalciferol (group 2) and standard treatment (group 3). Adverse events were recorded; C-peptide (CP), insulin dose and HbA1c were measured at baseline (T0), after 3 (T3) and 6 months (T6). Results In group 1 (n = 7), adverse events included transient headache (all), mild local reactions (all), tachycardia (n = 4), abdominal cramps (n = 1), thrombophlebitis (n = 4), scotomas (n = 2), and central retinal vein occlusion at T3 (n = 1, resolution at T6). Group 1 had an increase in basal CP (p = 0.018; mean: 40.41+/-40.79 %), without changes in stimulated CP after mixed meal (p = 0.62), from T0 to T6. Basal CP remained stable in groups 2 and 3 (p = 0.58 and p = 0.116, respectively). Group 1 had small insulin requirements (0.31+/- 0.26 UI/kg) without changes at T6 (p = 0.44) and HbA1c decline (p = 0.01). At T6, all patients (100%; n = 7) in group 1 were in honeymoon vs 75% (n = 3/4) and 50% (n = 3/6) in groups 2 and 3, p = 0.01. Conclusion Allogenic ASC + VIT D without immunosuppression was safe and might have a role in the preservation of β-cells in patients with recent-onset T1D. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03920397.

Abstract
Background Currently, there is no specific treatment for coronavirus disease, and some drugs and cell-based therapy have been tested as alternatives. This work aims to evaluate the effects of the combined use of humanized recombinant monoclonal antibody capable of binding the IL-6 receptor (Tocilizumab), and umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UCT-MSC) in the treatment of a patient with severe COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit (IUC) and submitted to mechanical ventilation. Methods This study is part of a project approved by the National Research Ethics Commission (CONEP); CAAE: 30833820.8.0000.0020. The patient had a diagnostic criterion for the severe acute respiratory syndrome resulting from infection with SARS-CoV-2 and received two 400 mg doses of tocilizumab, three infusions of 500,000 CTM / kg plus full anticoagulation. TCU-MSC were obtained from healthy donors. The following parameters were evaluated in the pre-infusion of cells (D1), on the day following each infusion (D2, D4, and D6), on the 14th and 60th day after the first infusion (D14 and D60): viral load, immune response (Regulatory T lymphocytes), C-reactive protein level in plasma, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, total lymphocyte count and subpopulations (platelets, inflammatory cells, and reticulocytes), TGO / TGP, increased prothrombin time, D-dimer, creatinine, troponin. Results The relative viral quantification decreased gradually from 1 (D1) to 0.06 (D6) RdRP / RNApol, undetectable in D14. An increase in the absolute number of total lymphocytes / µL has also been seen to have progressively increased from 281 (D1) to 954.9 (D6) and since then decreased to 641.6 in D60 in the same way as T lymphocytes 148.6 (D1) 642.6 (D6) 607.4 (D14) 485.7 (D60), CD4 T lymphocytes, 102 (D1) 481.2 (D6) 459.5 (D14) 358 (D60) and Treg lymphocytes 10.8 (D1) 34 (D6) 29.8 (D14), 25.9 (D60). Plasmablasts, in contrast, decreased from 52 (D1) to 4.5 (D6) to almost undetectable in D60 (0.2). Laboratory tests outside the reference values decreased during the follow-up from D1 to D14 were within the normal parameters at D60. The patient was extubated uneventfully on D6, discharged from the ICU on D10, and the hospital on D14. Conclusion the combined use of tocilizumab and MSC is safe, without adverse effects, and the results of this case report prove to be a promising alternative in the treatment of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome due to SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Objective In order to use fluconazole as an antifungal in cell cultures, we evaluated its possible cytotoxic effects and its influence on the proliferation and viability of canine dental pulp-derived stem cells (cDPSCs). Methods Samples from permanent canine teeth were placed in a sterile tube with IMDM, penicillin-streptomycin, sodium heparin, and different concentrations of fluconazole. Dental pulp was digested (collagenase type II) and expanded in vitro. After 12 days of culture, enzymatic dissociation of the cDPSCs was performed to quantify, differentiate, and characterize the cells. Cytotoxicity was evaluated based on cell viability in response to fluconazole treatment using the 7-AAD dye. Results Characterization of the cDPSCs revealed that fluconazole had no influence on the immunophenotypic characteristics and differentiation of these cells. Cell proliferation assay revealed that fluconazole did not significantly interfere with the replication capacity of the cDPSCs. Cytotoxicity analysis revealed a loss of cell viability as the fluconazole concentration increased. Although there was an increase in cell mortality, the number of dead cells remained low. Though the higher concentration of fluconazole (240 μg/mL) resulted in a higher number of non-viable cells, it remained safe for use. Conclusion To prevent fungal contamination that causes a loss of samples during expansion of cDPSCs and to maintain minimal cell toxicity, we suggest adding 120 μg/mL of fluconazole to the teeth collection medium and cDPSCs culture.

Abstract
The objective was to evaluate the effect of human adipose-derived stem cell (hADSC) infusion on impaired hindlimb function and urinary continence after spinal cord contusion in rats. hADSCs were transplanted into the injured spinal cords of rats 7 and 14 days after injury in two groups (B and C). Group C also received methylprednisolone sodium succinate (MPSS) after 3 h of injury. The control group (group A) did not receive corticoids or stem cells. Voiding and motor performance evaluations were performed daily for 90 days post-transplantation. Cells were labeled with PKH26 or PKH67 for in vitro monitoring. For in vivo screening, the cells were evaluated for bioluminescence. The levels of some cytokines were quantified in different times. Euthanasia was performed 90 days post-transplant. β-tubulin III expression was evaluated in the spinal cord of the animals from all groups. As a result, we observed a recovery of 66.6 % and 61.9 % in urinary continence of animals from groups B and C, respectively. Partial recovery of motor was observed in 23.8 % and 19 % of the animals from groups B and C, respectively. Cells remained viable at the site up to 90 days after transplantation. No significant difference was observed in levels of cytokines and thickness of urinary bladders between groups. A smaller percentage of tissue injury and higher concentrations of neuropils were observed in the spinal cords of the animals from groups B and C than control group. Thus, hADSCs transplantation with or without MPSS, contributed to the improvement in voiding and motor performance of Wistar rats submitted to compressive spinal cord injury.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) research has demonstrated the potential of these cells to modulate lung inflammatory processes and tissue repair; however, the underlying mechanisms and treatment durability remain unknown. Here, we investigated the therapeutic potential of human bone marrow-derived MSCs in the inflammatory process and pulmonary remodeling of asthmatic BALB/c mice up to 14 d after transplantation. Our study used ovalbumin to induce allergic asthma in male BALB/c mice. MSCs were injected intratracheally in the asthma groups. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected, and cytology was performed to measure the total protein, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and proinflammatory (IL-5, IL-13, and IL-17A) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) interleukin (IL) levels. The lungs were removed for the histopathological evaluation. On day zero, the eosinophil and lymphochte percentages, total protein concentrations, and IL-13 and IL-17A levels in the BALF were significantly increased in the asthma group, proving the efficacy of the experimental model of allergic asthma. On day 7, the MSC-treated group exhibited significant reductions in the eosinophil, lymphocyte, total protein, H2O2, IL-5, IL-13, and IL-17A levels in the BALF, while the IL-10 levels were significantly increased. On day 14, the total cell numbers and lymphocyte, total protein, IL-13, and IL-17A levels in the BALF in the MSC-treated group were significantly decreased. A significant decrease in airway remodeling was observed on days 7 and 14 in almost all bronchioles, which showed reduced inflammatory infiltration, collagen deposition, muscle and epithelial thickening, and mucus production. These results demonstrate that treatment with a single injection of MSCs reduces the pathophysiological events occurring in an experimental model of allergic asthma by controlling the inflammatory process up to 14 d after transplantation.

Abstract
Paraparesis and paraplegia are common conditions in dogs, most often caused by a disc herniation in the thoracolumbar spinal segments (T3-L3), which is a neurological emergency. Surgical decompression should be performed as soon as possible when spinal compression is revealed by myelography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging. Mesenchymal stem-cell therapy is a promising adjunct treatment for spinal cord injury. This study sought to compare the effects of surgical decompression alone and combined with an allogeneic transplantation of canine adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (cAd-MSCs) in the treatment of dogs with acute paraplegia. Twenty-two adult dogs of different breeds with acute paraplegia resulting from a Hansen type I disc herniation in the thoracolumbar region (T3-L3) were evaluated using computed tomography. All dogs had grade IV or V lesions and underwent surgery within 7 days after symptom onset. They were randomly assigned into two groups, 11 dogs in each. The dogs in Group I underwent hemilaminectomy, and those in Group II underwent hemilaminectomy and cAd-MSC epidural transplantation. In both groups, all dogs with grade IV lesions recovered locomotion. The median locomotion recovery period was 7 days for Group II and 21 days for Group I, and this difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Moreover, the median length of hospitalization after the surgery was statistically different between the two groups (Group I, 4 days; Group II, 3 days; p < 0.05). There were no statistically significant between-group differences regarding the number of animals with grade IV or V lesions that recovered locomotion and nociception. In conclusion, compared with surgical decompression alone, the use of epidural cAd-MSC transplantation with surgical decompression may contribute to faster locomotor recovery in dogs with acute paraplegia and reduce the length of post-surgery hospitalization.

Abstract
Background Upon orthognathic mandibular advancement surgery the adjacent soft tissues can displace the distal bone segment and increase the load on the temporomandibular joint causing loss of its integrity. Remodeling of the condyle and temporal fossa with destruction of condylar cartilage and subchondral bone leads to postsurgical condylar resorption, with arthralgia and functional limitations. Patients with severe lesions are refractory to conservative treatments, leading to more invasive therapies that range from simple arthrocentesis to open surgery and prosthesis. Although aggressive and with a high risk for the patient, surgical invasive treatments are not always efficient in managing the degenerative lesions. Methods We propose a regenerative medicine approach using in-vitro expanded autologous cells from nasal septum applied to the first proof-of-concept patient. After the required quality controls, the cells were injected into each joint by arthrocentesis. Results were monitored by functional assays and image analysis using computed tomography. Results The cell injection fully reverted the condylar resorption, leading to functional and structural regeneration after 6 months. Computed tomography images showed new cortical bone formation filling the former cavity space, and a partial recovery of condylar and temporal bones. The superposition of the condyle models showed the regeneration of the bone defect, reconstructing the condyle original form. Conclusions We propose a new treatment of condylar resorption subsequent to orthognathic surgery, presently treated only by alloplastic total joint replacement. We propose an intra-articular injection of autologous in-vitro expanded cells from the nasal septum. The proof-of-concept treatment of a selected patient that had no alternative therapeutic proposal has given promising results, reaching full regeneration of both the condylar cartilage and bone at 6 months after the therapy, which was fully maintained after 1 year. This first case is being followed by inclusion of new patients with a similar pathological profile to complete an ongoing stage I/II study. Trial registration This clinical trial is approved by the National Commission of Ethics in Medical Research (CONEP), Brazil, CAAE 12484813.0.0000.5245, and retrospectively registered in the Brazilian National Clinical Trials Registry and in the USA Clinical Trials Registry under the Universal Trial Number (UTN) U1111–1194-6997.

Abstract
The tissue microenvironment regulates such stem cell behaviors as self-renewal and differentiation. Attempts to mimic components of these microenvironments could provide new strategies for culturing and directing the behavior of stem cells. The aim of the present study was to mimic cardiac and umbilical cord tissue microenvironments in vitro and compare the resulting bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) behaviors. We generated tissue microenvironments using conditioned medium (CM) and extracellular matrix (ECM) samples obtained from human heart and umbilical cord tissue explant cultures and by tissue decellularization. Mass spectrometry and immunostaining were used to characterize and determine the specific protein profiles of the ECMs and CMs. We demonstrated that the ECMs and CMs were not cytotoxic to BM-MSCs and could thus be tested via cell culture. The BM-MSCs showed a higher proliferation rate when cultured with umbilical cord-derived CM compared with the other analyzed conditions. Furthermore, the ECMs increased cell adhesion and migration. However, although the conditions tested in this work were able to maintain the viability and affect the proliferation, adhesion and migration of BM-MSCs in vitro, mimicking tissue microenvironments using ECM and CM was not sufficient to induce the cardiomyogenic differentiation of BM-MSCs. The present study provides a thorough characterization of the biological activity of these ECMs and CMs in human BM-MSC cultures.

Abstract
Background Use of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is a promising strategy for cell therapy in injured tissues recovery. However, MSCs acquire genetic changes when cultivated in vitro that make them more susceptible to undergo neoplastic transformation. Therefore, genomic integrity of stem cells should be monitored carefully for the use in basic research and clinical trials, including karyotype analysis to confirm the absence of genetic instability. Here, we report a case of a male 67-year-old patient selected to join the study: “Autologous transplantation of mesenchymal cells for treatment of severe and refractory ischemic cardiomyopathy”. He underwent nephrectomy for malignant tumor on the right kidney. Cytogenetic analysis on a bone marrow sample showed a normal karyotype: 46,XY[20]. However, the MSC at second passage showed a hyperdiploid clone, with clonal trisomies of chromosomes 4, 5, 10 and X. In order to investigate more, another sample from the same patient was used for a second cultivation and, at third passage, these cells showed a clonal translocation t(9;18)(p24;q11). The recurrent aberrations in MSC may indicate the beginning of a spontaneous transformation in culture, so, these cells were not used for cell therapy. Several analyses were performed at the Center for Cell Technology (152 samples), however this was the only case to show clonal cytogenetic abnormalities. Interestingly, two distinct clonal alterations were seen in two parallel cell cultivations from the same patient, suggesting a propensity for genetic instability. This highlights the need to evaluate these cells on a case-by-case basis, especially in patients with a history of cancer. Although there is controversy about the use of cells with cytogenetic abnormality for therapy, because their tumorigenic doubtful potential, we decided against the use of these cells for regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Objective To perform a comparative assessment of two surgical techniques that are used
creating an acute myocardial infarc by occluding the left anterior descending
coronary artery in order to generate rats with a left ventricular ejection
fraction of less than 40%. Methods The study was completely randomized and comprised 89 halothane-anaesthetised rats,
which were divided into three groups. The control group (SHAM) comprised fourteen
rats, whose left anterior descending coronary artery was not occluded. Group 1
(G1): comprised by 35 endotracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated rats,
whose left anterior descending coronary artery was occluded. Group 2 (G2):
comprised 40 rats being manually ventilated using a nasal respirator whose left
anterior descending coronary artery was occluded. Other differences between the
two techniques include the method of performing the thoracotomy and removing the
pericardium in order to expose the heart, and the use of different methods and
suture types for closing the thorax. Seven days after surgery, the cardiac
function of all surviving rats was determined by echocardiography. Results No rats SHAM group had progressed to death or had left ventricular ejection
fraction less than 40%. Nine of the 16 surviving G1 rats (56.3%) and six of the 20
surviving G2 rats (30%) had a left ventricular ejection fraction of less than
40%. Conclusion The results indicate a tendency of the technique used in G1 to be better than in
G2. This improvement is probably due to the greater duration of the open thorax,
which reduces the pressure over time from the surgeon, allowing occlusion of left
anterior descending coronary artery with higher accuracy.

Abstract
Background Morbimortality in patients with dilated idiopathic cardiomyopathy is high, even
under optimal medical treatment. Autologous infusion of bone marrow adult stem
cells has shown promising preliminary results in these patients. Objective Determine the effectiveness of autologous transplantation of bone marrow adult
stem cells on systolic and diastolic left ventricular function, and on the degree
of mitral regurgitation in patients with dilated idiopathic cardiomyopathy in
functional classes NYHA II and III. Methods We administered 4,54 x 108 ± 0,89 x 108 bone marrow
adult stem cells into the coronary arteries of 24 patients with dilated idiopathic
cardiomyopathy in functional classes NYHA II and III. Changes in functional class,
systolic and diastolic left ventricular function and degree of mitral
regurgitation were assessed after 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. Results During follow-up, six patients (25%) improved functional class and eight (33.3%)
kept stable. Left ventricular ejection fraction improved 8.9%, 9.7% e 13.6%, after
3, 6 and 12 months (p = 0.024; 0.017 and 0.018), respectively. There were no
significant changes neither in diastolic left ventricular function nor in mitral
regurgitation degree. A combined cardiac resynchronization and implantable
cardioversion defibrillation was implanted in two patients (8.3%). Four patients
(16.6%) had sudden death and four patients died due to terminal cardiac failure.
Average survival of these eight patients was 2.6 years. Conclusion Intracoronary infusion of bone marrow adult stem cells was associated with an
improvement or stabilization of functional class and an improvement in left
ventricular ejection fraction, suggesting the efficacy of this intervention. There
were no significant changes neither in left ventricular diastolic function nor in
the degree of mitral regurgitation.

Abstract
Objective To present the initial results of first three years of implementation of a genetic evaluation test for bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in a Cell Technology Center. Methods A retrospective study was carried out of 21 candidates for cell therapy. After the isolation of bone marrow mononuclear cells by density gradient, mesenchymal stem cells were cultivated and expanded at least until the second passage. Cytogenetic analyses were performed before and after cell expansion (62 samples) using G-banded karyotyping. Results All the samples analyzed, before and after cell expansion, had normal karyotypes, showing no clonal chromosomal changes. Signs of chromosomal instability were observed in 11 out of 21 patients (52%). From a total of 910 analyzed metaphases, five chromatid gaps, six chromatid breaks and 14 tetraploid cells were detected giving as total of 25 metaphases with chromosome damage (2.75%). Conclusion The absence of clonal chromosomal aberrations in our results for G-banded karyotyping shows the maintenance of chromosomal stability of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells until the second passage; however, signs of chromosomal instability such as chromatid gaps, chromosome breaks and tetraploidy indicate that the long-term cultivation of these cells can provide an intermediate step for tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation and histone modification are
important in stem cell differentiation. Methylation is principally associated
with transcriptional repression, and histone acetylation is correlated with an
active chromatin state. We determined the effects of these epigenetic mechanisms
on adipocyte differentiation in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from bone
marrow (BM-MSCs) and adipose tissue (ADSCs) using the chromatin-modifying agents
trichostatin A (TSA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, and
5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5azadC), a demethylating agent. Subconfluent MSC
cultures were treated with 5, 50, or 500 nM TSA or with 1, 10, or
100 µM 5azadC for 2 days before the initiation of adipogenesis. The
differentiation was quantified and expression of the adipocyte genes PPARG and
FABP4 and of the anti-adipocyte gene GATA2 was evaluated. TSA decreased
adipogenesis, except in BM-MSCs treated with 5 nM TSA. Only treatment
with 500 nM TSA decreased cell proliferation. 5azadC treatment decreased
proliferation and adipocyte differentiation in all conditions evaluated,
resulting in the downregulation of PPARG and FABP4 and the upregulation of
GATA2. The response to treatment was stronger in ADSCs than in BM-MSCs,
suggesting that epigenetic memories may differ between cells of different
origins. As epigenetic signatures affect differentiation, it should be possible
to direct the use of MSCs in cell therapies to improve process efficiency by
considering the various sources available.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been investigated as promising candidates for use in new cell-based therapeutic strategies such as mesenchyme-derived tissue repair. MSCs are easily isolated from adult tissues and are not ethically restricted. MSC-related literature, however, is conflicting in relation to MSC differentiation potential and molecular markers. Here we compared MSCs isolated from bone marrow (BM), umbilical cord blood (UCB), and adipose tissue (AT). The isolation efficiency for both BM and AT was 100%, but that from UCB was only 30%. MSCs from these tissues are morphologically and immunophenotypically similar although their differentiation diverges. Differentiation to osteoblasts and chondroblasts was similar among MSCs from all sources, as analyzed by cytochemistry. Adipogenic differentiation showed that UCB-derived MSCs produced few and small lipid vacuoles in contrast to those of BM-derived MSCs and AT-derived stem cells (ADSCs) (arbitrary differentiation values of 245.57 +/- 943 and 243.89 +/- 145.52 mum(2) per nucleus, respectively). The mean area occupied by individual lipid droplets was 7.37 mum(2) for BM-derived MSCs and 2.36 mum(2) for ADSCs, a finding indicating more mature adipocytes in BM-derived MSCs than in treated cultures of ADSCs. We analyzed FAPB4, ALP, and type II collagen gene expression by quantitative polymerase chain reaction to confirm adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation, respectively. Results showed that all three sources presented a similar capacity for chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation and they differed in their adipogenic potential. Therefore, it may be crucial to predetermine the most appropriate MSC source for future clinical applications.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In myocardial infarction and Chagas's disease, some physiopathological aspects are common: cardiomyocyte loss due to ischemia leads to a reduction of contractility and heart function. Different cells have been proposed for cellular cardiomioplasty. OBJECTIVE Our goal was to evaluate the method of co-culture of skeletal muscle (SM) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) for cell therapy of heart failure in Chagas's disease (CD) and myocardium postinfarction (MI). METHODS For MI, 39 rats completed the study at 1 month. Seventeen rats received cell therapy into the scar and 22 rats only medium. For CD, 15 rats completed the study at 1 month including 7 that received cell therapy and eight followed the natural evolution. All animals underwent ecocardiographic analysis at baseline and 1 month. Left ventricular, ejection fraction, end systolic, and end dyastolic volume were registered and analyzed by ANOVA. The co-culture method of SM and MSC was performed at 14 days (DMEM, with 15% FCS, 1% antibiotic, IGF-I, dexamethasone). Standard stain analysis was performed. RESULTS For MI ejection fraction in the animals that received the co-cultured cells increased from 23.52+/-8.67 to 31.45+/-8.87 (P=.006) versus the results in the control group: 26.68+/-6.92 to 22.32+/-6.94 (P=.004). For CD, ejection fraction in animals that received the co-cultured cells increased from 31.10+/-5.78 to 53.37+/-5.84 (P<.001) versus the control group values of 36.21+/-3.70 to 38.19+/-7.03 (P=0.426). Histopathological analysis of the animals receiving co-cultured cells demonstrated the presence of myogenesis and angiogenesis. CONCLUSION The results validated the product of SM and MSC co-cultures for treatment of diseases.

Currently two lines of research have been proposed for treatment of heart failure in an attempt to address its main cause: skeletal myoblast (SM) transplants, which increase the contractile muscular mass, and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplants, which increase neoangiogenesis. The objective of this study was to establish methods whereby cocultures of SM and MSC proliferate and expand, making possible the interaction of these cell types prior to their transplantation to the myocardium. Seeking to support the survival of these cells after myocardial transplantation and achieve subsequent functional improvement, SM and MSC from 10 rats were isolated and cultivated in DMEM medium supplemented with 15% fetal calf serum, 1% ATB, and growth factors. Following plating in variable proportions of satellite cells/mononuclear cells namely 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, morphological observations were made regarding cell survival, adhesion to substrate, and confluence. After 48 hours nonadherent cells were aspirated from the flasks, leaving the adherent cells, SM, and MSC. The better level of cell proliferation was observed with the proportion 2:1 cocultivated at a concentration of 5 x 10(5)/mL for 14 days. The results were satisfactory; the cell production was up to 10(8), increasing the chances of transplant success after myocardial infarction. Transplants with this model are ongoing.

Abstract
Due to the peculiar characteristics of skeletal muscle, myoblast transplants have emerged as a therapy for cardiomyopathy, particularly after myocardial infarction. The objectives of this study were to define the mean time of cultivation necessary to obtain a cellular concentration of 10(6) to expand the mass for transplant, and to identify the proliferation phase of myoblasts. Ten myoblast cultures were performed using newborn Wistar rats. The isolation method used enzymatic dissociation in culture medium (HAM-F12 and 199) supplement with basic-fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF) and insulin growth factor (IGF-I). The mean cultivation time to obtain the desired concentration of 10(6) was 7 days, with expansion of up to 10(8)/g. When b-FGF was used, the cellular yield was approximately 10(7), with IGF-I the cellular yield was approximately 10(8), independent of the medium. We concluded that IGF-I is the better option for mass cellular expansion of myoblasts for application in myocardial transplants.
