Chen S, Duan X, He Y, Chen W. METTL3 promotes osteogenic differentiation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells by up-regulating m6A modification of circCTTN. Biosci Rep 2024; 44:BSR20231186. [PMID: 38358895 PMCID: PMC10932744 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20231186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) are promising seed cells in bone tissue engineering. circRNA and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation play important roles in osteogenic differentiation. Here, we investigated the potential relevance of a critical circRNA, hsa_circ_0003376 (circCTTN), and methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) in osteogenic differentiation of hUCMSCs. METHODS Expression of circCTTN after hUCMSC osteogenic induction was detected by qRT-PCR. Three databases (RMBase v2.0, BERMP, and SRAMP) were used to predict m6A sites of circCTTN. RNA was enriched by methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP), followed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction to detect m6A level of circCTTN after METTL3 overexpression and osteogenic induction. RNA pull-down, Western blotting, and protein mass spectrometry were performed to investigate the potential mechanisms by which METTL3 promoted m6A modification of circCTTN. Bioinformatic analyses based on database (STRING) search and co-immunoprecipitation were used to analyze the proteins that interacted with METTL3. RESULTS Overexpression of METTL3 promoted osteogenic differentiation of hUCMSCs and increased m6A level of circCTTN. Two potential m6A modification sites of circCTTN were predicted. No direct interaction between METTL3 and circCTTN was observed. Thirty-one proteins were pulled down by probes specific for circCTTN, including NOP2, and two m6A reading proteins, EIF3A and SND1. Bioinformatics analysis and co-immunoprecipitation showed that METTL3 interacted with EIF3A indirectly through NOP2. CONCLUSIONS METTL3 promotes the osteogenic differentiation of hUCMSCs by increasing the m6A level of circCTTN. However, METTL3 does not bind directly to circCTTN. METTL3 interacts with circCTTN indirectly through NOP2 and EIF3A.

Abstract
Pyroptosis defines a form of pro-inflammatory-dependent programmed cell death triggered by gasdermin proteins, which creates cytoplasmic pores and promotes the activation and accumulation of immune cells by releasing several pro-inflammatory mediators and immunogenic substances upon cell rupture. Pyroptosis comprises canonical (mediated by Caspase-1) and non-canonical (mediated by Caspase-4/5/11) molecular signaling pathways. Numerous studies have explored the contributory roles of inflammasome and pyroptosis in the progression of multiple pathological conditions such as tumors, nerve injury, inflammatory diseases and metabolic disorders. Accumulating evidence indicates that the activation of the NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome results in the activation of pyroptosis and inflammation. Current evidence suggests that pyroptosis-dependent cell death plays a progressive role in the development of diabetic complications including diabetic wound healing (DWH) and diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). This review presents a brief overview of the molecular mechanisms underlying pyroptosis and addresses the current research on pyroptosis-dependent signaling pathways in the context of DWH. In this review, we also present some prospective therapeutic compounds/agents that can target pyroptotic signaling pathways, which may serve as new strategies for the effective treatment and management of diabetic wounds.

Calvaria defect regeneration via human periodontal ligament stem cells and prevascularized scaffolds in athymic rats. J Dent 2023; 138:104690. [PMID: 37666466 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2023.104690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascularization plays an important role in dental and craniofacial regenerations. Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) are a promising cell source and, when co-cultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (hUVECs), could promote vascularization. The objectives of this study were to develop a novel prevascularized hPDLSC-hUVEC-calcium phosphate construct, and investigate the osteogenic and angiogenic efficacy of this construct with human platelet lysate (hPL) in cranial defects in rats for the first time. METHODS hPDLSCs and hUVECs were co-cultured on calcium phosphate cement (CPC) scaffolds with hPL. Cell proliferation, angiogenic gene expression, angiogenesis, alkaline phosphatase activity, and cell-synthesized minerals were determined. Bone and vascular regenerations were investigated in rat critical-sized cranial defects in vivo. RESULTS hPDLSC-hUVEC-CPC-hPL group had 2-fold greater angiogenic expressions and cell-synthesized mineral synthesis than hPDLSC-hUVEC-CPC group (p < 0.05). Microcapillary-like structures were formed on scaffolds in vitro. hPDLSC-hUVEC-CPC-hPL group had more vessels than hPDLSC-hUVEC-CPC group (p < 0.05). In cranial defects in rats, hPDLSC-hUVEC-CPC-hPL group regenerated new bone amount that was 2.1 folds and 4.0 folds, respectively, that of hPDLSC-hUVEC-CPC group and CPC control (p < 0.05). New blood vessel density of hPDLSC-hUVEC-CPC-hPL group was 2 folds and 7.9 folds, respectively, that of hPDLSC-hUVEC-CPC group and CPC control (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The hPL pre-culture method is promising to enhance bone regeneration via prevascularized CPC. Novel hPDLSC-hUVEC-CPC-hPL prevascularized construct increased new bone formation and blood vessel density by 4-8 folds over CPC control. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Novel hPDLSC-hUVEC-hPL-CPC prevascularized construct greatly increased bone and vascular regeneration in vivo and hence is promising for a wide range of craniofacial applications.

Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived apoptotic extracellular vesicles ameliorate cutaneous wound healing in type 2 diabetic mice via macrophage pyroptosis inhibition. Stem Cell Res Ther 2023; 14:257. [PMID: 37726853 PMCID: PMC10510296 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-023-03490-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed healing of diabetic cutaneous wounds is one of the most common complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which can bring great distress to patients. In diabetic patients, macrophages accumulate around skin wounds and produce NLRP3 (NOD-, LRR-, and pyrin domain-containing protein 3) inflammasomes, which in turn undergo pyroptosis and produce inflammatory factors such as interleukin-1β that affect wound healing. Although our previous study revealed that apoptotic extracellular vesicles (ApoEVs) produced from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) improve cutaneous wound healing in normal C57BL/6 mice, whether ApoEVs can also improve diabetic wound healing remains unclear. METHODS Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) were cultured in vitro and apoptosis was induced. ApoEVs were extracted and identified and used in a T2DM mouse cutaneous wound model to evaluate the efficacy. The inhibitory effect of ApoEVs on macrophage pyroptosis was verified in vivo and in vitro, and the level of oxidative stress in macrophages was assessed to explore the mechanism by which ApoEVs play a role. RESULTS UCMSC-derived ApoEVs improved skin defect healing in T2DM mice. Moreover, UCMSC-derived ApoEVs inhibited macrophage pyroptosis in T2DM mice in vivo as well as in vitro under high-glucose culture conditions. In addition, we demonstrated that ApoEVs reduce oxidative stress levels, which is a possible mechanism by which they inhibit macrophage pyroptosis. CONCLUSIONS Our study confirmed that local application of UCMSC-derived ApoEVs improved cutaneous wound healing in T2DM mice. ApoEVs, as products of MSC apoptosis, can inhibit macrophage pyroptosis and regulate the death process by decreasing the level of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been considered a therapeutic strategy in regenerative medicine because of their regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. The translation of MSC-based products has some challenges, such as regulatory and scientific issues. Quality control should be standardized and optimized to guarantee the reproducibility, safety, and efficacy of MSC-based products to be administered to patients. The aim of this study was to develop MSC-based products for use in clinical practice. Quality control assays include cell characterization, cell viability, immunogenicity, and cell differentiation; safety tests such as procoagulant tissue factor (TF), microbiological, mycoplasma, endotoxin, genomic stability, and tumorigenicity tests; and potency tests. The results confirm that the cells express MSC markers; an average cell viability of 96.9%; a low expression of HLA-DR and costimulatory molecules; differentiation potential; a high expression of TF/CD142; an absence of pathogenic microorganisms; negative endotoxins; an absence of chromosomal abnormalities; an absence of genotoxicity and tumorigenicity; and T-lymphocyte proliferation inhibition potential. This study shows the relevance of standardizing the manufacturing process and quality controls to reduce variability due to the heterogeneity between donors. The results might also be useful for the implementation and optimization of new analytical techniques and automated methods to improve safety, which are the major concerns related to MSC-based therapy.

Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to assess the potential of poly (acrylic acid)/tricalcium phosphate nanoparticles (PAA/triCaPNPs) scaffold in terms of biocompatibility and osteoconductivity properties the in-vivo evaluation as well as to investigate the performance of PAA/triCaPNPs scaffold (with or without exosomes derived from UC-MSCs) for bone regeneration of rat critical-sized defect. Methods PAA/triCaPNPs scaffold was made from acrylic acid (AA) monomer, N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAA), sodium bicarbonate (SBC), and ammonium persulfate (APS) through freeze-drying method. For in vivo evaluation, we randomly divided 24 rats into three groups. The rat calvarial bone defects were treated as follows: (1) Control group: defects without any treatment, (2) scaffold group: defects treated with scaffold only, (3) scaffold+exo group: defects treated with scaffold enriched with exosomes (1 μg/μL, 150 μg per rat). Eight- and 12-weeks post-surgery, half of the animals were sacrificed and bone regeneration was examined through micro-computerized tomography (µ-CT), histological staining, and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Results Quantitative analysis based on µ-CT scan images at 8 and 12 weeks post-implantation clearly indicated that healing rate for defects that were filled with scaffold enriched with exosome was significantly higher than defects filled with scaffold without exosome. The H&E and Masson staining results revealed that more new bone-like form developed in the scaffold+exo group than that in control and scaffold groups. Further, IHC staining for osteocalcin and CD31 confirmed that more bone healing in the scaffold+exo group at 12 weeks could be associated with osteogenesis and angiogenesis concurrently. Conclusion In the present study, we aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of PAA/triCaPNPs scaffold as a carrier of human UC-MSC-derived exosome to achieve the exosome-controlled release on calvarial bone defect. The in vivo results indicated that the exosome-enriched scaffold could effectively minify the defect area and improve the bone healing in rat model, and as such it could be an option for exosome-based therapy.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have been carefully examined to have tremendous potential in regenerative medicine. With their immunomodulatory and regenerative properties, MSCs have numerous applications within the clinical sector. MSCs have the properties of multilineage differentiation, paracrine signaling, and can be isolated from various tissues, which makes them a key candidate for applications in numerous organ systems. To accentuate the importance of MSC therapy for a range of clinical indications, this review highlights MSC-specific studies on the musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular, and immune systems where most trials are reported. Furthermore, an updated list of the different types of MSCs used in clinical trials, as well as the key characteristics of each type of MSCs are included. Many of the studies mentioned revolve around the properties of MSC, such as exosome usage and MSC co-cultures with other cell types. It is worth noting that MSC clinical usage is not limited to these four systems, and MSCs continue to be tested to repair, regenerate, or modulate other diseased or injured organ systems. This review provides an updated compilation of MSCs in clinical trials that paves the way for improvement in the field of MSC therapy.

[PMID: 37476061 PMCID: PMC10354774 DOI: 10.1002/btm2.10535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Therapeutic options are limited for severe lung injury and disease as the spontaneous regeneration of functional alveolar is terminated owing to the weakness of the inherent stem cells and the dyscrasia of the niche. Umbilical cord mesenchymal-derived stem cells (UC-MSCs) have been applied to clinical trials to promote lung repair through stem cell niche restruction. However, the application of UC-MSCs is hampered by the effectiveness of cell transplantation with few cells homing to the injury sites and poor retention, survival, and proliferation in vivo. In this study, we constructed an artificial three-dimensional (3D) biomimetic scaffold-based MSCs implant to establish a beneficial regeneration niche for endogenous stem cells in situ lung regeneration. The therapeutic potential of 3D biomimetic scaffold-based MSCs implants was evaluated by 3D culture in vitro. And RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) was mapped to explore the gene expression involved in the niche improvement. Next, a model of partial lung resection was established in rats, and the implants were implanted into the operative region. Effects of the implants on rat resected lung injury repair were detected. The results revealed that UC-MSCs loaded on biomimetic scaffolds exerted strong paracrine effects and some UC-MSCs migrated to the lung from scaffolds and had long-term retention to suppress inflammation and fibrosis in residual lungs and promoted vascular endothelial cells and alveolar type II epithelial cells to enter the scaffolds. Then, under the guidance of the ECM-mimicking structures of scaffolds and the stimulation of the remaining UC-MSCs, vascular and alveolar-like structures were formed in the scaffold region. Moreover, the general morphology of the operative lung was also restored. Taken together, the artificial 3D biomimetic scaffold-based MSCs implants induce in situ lung regeneration and recovery after lung destruction, providing a promising direction for tissue engineering and stem cell strategies in lung regeneration.

Abstract
Critical-sized cranial bone defects fail to re-ossify and require the surgical intervention of cranioplasty. To achieve superior bone healing in such cases, a hydrogel consisting of an interpenetrating network of collagen and elastin-like polypeptide to encapsulate bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), doxycycline, and 45S5 Bioglass is developed. This hydrogel has an appropriate elastic modulus of 39 ± 2.2 kPa to allow proper handling during implantation. The hydrogel promotes human adipose-derived stem attachment, proliferation, and differentiation toward the osteogenic lineage, including the deposition of hydroxyapatite particles embedded within a collagenous fibrillar structure after 21 days of in vitro culture. After eight weeks of implantation of the acellular hydrogel in a critical-sized rat cranial defect model, only a small quantity of various pro-inflammatory (< 20 pg mg-1 ) and anti-inflammatory (< 10 pg mg-1 ) factors in the adjacent cranial tissue is noticed, indicating the overall biocompatibility of the hydrogel. Scanning electron microscopy evidenced the presence of new fibrous extracellular matrix and mineral aggregates at the defect site, with calcium/phosphorus ratio of 0.5 and 2.0 by eight and twelve weeks, respectively. Microcomputed tomography (Micro-CT) and histological analyses showed formation of mature mineralized tissue that bridged with the surrounding bone. Taken together, the acellular composite hydrogel shows great promise for superior bone healing after cranioplasty.

Abstract
Craniofacial deformities (CFDs) develop following oncological resection, trauma, or congenital disorders. Trauma is one of the top five causes of death globally, with rates varying from country to country. They result in a non-healing composite tissue wound as they degenerate in soft or hard tissues. Approximately one-third of oral diseases are caused by gum disease. Due to the complexity of anatomical structures in the region and the variety of tissue-specific requirements, CFD treatments present many challenges. Many treatment methods for CFDs are available today, such as drugs, regenerative medicine (RM), surgery, and tissue engineering. Functional restoration of a tissue or an organ after trauma or other chronic diseases is the focus of this emerging field of science. The materials and methodologies used in craniofacial reconstruction have significantly improved in the last few years. A facial fracture requires bone preservation as much as possible, so tiny fragments are removed initially. It is possible to replace bone marrow stem cells with oral stem cells for CFDs due to their excellent potential for bone formation. This review article discusses regenerative approaches for different types of craniofacial diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are biocompatible materials that have been evaluated as scaffolds in bone tissue engineering. At present, the stem cell density of inoculation on CPC scaffold varies. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of seeding densities on cell growth and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) on a calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) scaffold. METHODS BMMSCs derived from minipigs were seeded onto a CPC scaffold at three densities [1 million/mL (1M), 5 million/mL (5M) and 25 million/mL 25M)], and cultured for osteogenic induction for 1, 4 and 8 days. RESULTS Well adhered and extended BMMSCs on the CPC scaffold showed significantly different proliferation rates within each seeding density group at different time points (P < 0.05). The number of live cells per unit area in 1M, 5M and 25M increased by 3.5, 3.9 and 2.5 folds respectively. The expression of ALP peaked at 4 days post inoculation with the fold-change being 2.6 and 2.8 times higher in 5M and 25M respectively as compared to 1M. The expression levels of OC, Coll-1 and Runx-2 peaked at 8 days post inoculation. CONCLUSIONS An optimal seeding density may be more conducive for cell proliferation, differentiation, and extracellular matrix synthesis on scaffolds. We suggest the optimal seeding density should be 5 million/mL.

Abstract
Anatomical complications of the craniofacial regions often present considerable challenges to the surgical repair or replacement of the damaged tissues. Surgical repair has its own set of limitations, including scarcity of the donor tissues, immune rejection, use of immune suppressors followed by the surgery, and restriction in restoring the natural aesthetic appeal. Rapid advancement in the field of biomaterials, cell biology, and engineering has helped scientists to create cellularized skeletal muscle-like structures. However, the existing method still has limitations in building large, highly vascular tissue with clinical application. With the advance in the three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technique, scientists and clinicians now can produce the functional implants of skeletal muscles and bones that are more patient-specific with the perfect match to the architecture of their craniofacial defects. Craniofacial tissue regeneration using 3D bioprinting can manage and eliminate the restrictions of the surgical transplant from the donor site. The concept of creating the new functional tissue, exactly mimicking the anatomical and physiological function of the damaged tissue, looks highly attractive. This is crucial to reduce the donor site morbidity and retain the esthetics. 3D bioprinting can integrate all three essential components of tissue engineering, that is, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and regeneration of the lost craniofacial tissues. Such integration essentially helps to develop the patient-specific treatment plans and damage site-driven creation of the functional implants for the craniofacial defects. This article is the bird's eye view on the latest development and application of 3D bioprinting in the regeneration of the skeletal muscle tissues and their application in restoring the functional abilities of the damaged craniofacial tissue. We also discussed current challenges in craniofacial bone vascularization and gave our view on the future direction, including establishing the interactions between tissue-engineered skeletal muscle and the peripheral nervous system.

Abstract
Background/purpose Due to their regenerative potential, periodontal ligament (PDL) and umbilical cord (UBC) tissues are an attractive potential mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) source. This study compared the expression patterns of genes related to stemness between fresh PDL and UBC tissues. Materials and methods PDL tissues were collected from 38 permanent premolars extracted for orthodontic purposes, and UBC tissues were obtained from three newborns. Each sample was immediately frozen to prevent RNA degradation. cDNA microarray analysis, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and immunohistochemical staining were performed. Gene expression patterns associated with dental stemness (DS) and induced pluripotent stemness (iPS) were compared between PDL and UBC tissues. Results In the cDNA microarray analyses, the expressions of most iPS genes were greater in the PDL than in the UBC. Meanwhile, the expressions of most DS genes were greater in the UBC than in the PDL. Quantitative real-time PCR analyses showed that the expression levels of matrix metallopeptidase 13 (MMP13), ADAM metallopeptidase domain 22 (ADAM22), vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM1), and kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) genes were greater in the PDL than in the UBC, while the expressions of melanoma cell adhesion molecule (MCAM) and activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) were greater in the UBC than in the PDL. Conclusion These results suggest that UBC and PDL tissues showed slightly different expression patterns of genes related to stemness, which warrants further investigation to use these tissues for future regeneration and implantation therapies.

Abstract
Objectives: Stem cell-based tissue engineering approaches are promising for bone repair and regeneration. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are a promising cell source for tissue engineering, especially for maxillofacial bone and periodontal regeneration. Many studies have shown potent results via PDLSCs in bone regeneration. In this review, we describe recent cutting-edge researches on PDLSC-based bone regeneration and periodontal tissue regeneration. Data and sources: An extensive search of the literature for papers related to PDLSCs-based bioactive constructs for bone tissue engineering was made on the databases of PubMed, Medline and Google Scholar. The papers were selected by three independent calibrated reviewers. Results: Multiple types of materials and scaffolds have been combined with PDLSCs, involving xeno genic bone graft, calcium phosphate materials and polymers. These PDLSC-based constructs exhibit the potential for bone and periodontal tissue regeneration. In addition, various osteo inductive agents and strategies have been applied with PDLSCs, including drugs, biologics, gene therapy, physical stimulation, scaffold modification, cell sheets and co-culture. Conclusoin: This review article demonstrates the great potential of PDLSCs-based bioactive constructs as a promising approach for bone and periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Perinatal tissues, such as placenta and umbilical cord contain a variety of somatic stem cell types, spanning from the largely used hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells to the most recently described broadly multipotent epithelial and stromal cells. As perinatal derivatives (PnD), several of these cell types and related products provide an interesting regenerative potential for a variety of diseases. Within COST SPRINT Action, we continue our review series, revising and summarizing the modalities of action and proposed medical approaches using PnD products: cells, secretome, extracellular vesicles, and decellularized tissues. Focusing on the brain, bone, skeletal muscle, heart, intestinal, liver, and lung pathologies, we discuss the importance of potency testing in validating PnD therapeutics, and critically evaluate the concept of PnD application in the field of tissue regeneration. Hereby we aim to shed light on the actual therapeutic properties of PnD, with an open eye for future clinical application. This review is part of a quadrinomial series on functional/potency assays for validation of PnD, spanning biological functions, such as immunomodulation, anti-microbial/anti-cancer, anti-inflammation, wound healing, angiogenesis, and regeneration.

Abstract
Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and periosteum-derived cells (PDCs) represent promising skeletal stem cell sources to treat critical-size bone defects. However, the large number of preclinical tests with a variety of in vivo data complicates the selection of cells for further clinical translation. This systematic review aims to analyze the in vivo bone-forming efficacy of BMSCs- and PDCs-based approaches in all published preclinical experiments until November 2020. For this purpose, four databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trial, and Web of Science) were searched for eligible literature, which yielded a total of 94 full-text articles for systematic review. This review generated an evidence-based list of BMSC- or PDC-based approaches, which have been evaluated for bone formation in different animal models. Among them, 74 studies were included for pairwise and network meta-analysis. The results revealed that both PDC and BMSC had beneficial bone-forming efficacy compared to bare scaffold. In addition, BMSC- and PDC-based approaches had no significant difference regarding in vivo bone-forming efficacy. However, BMSC-based approach had a higher probability to be ranked better than PDC-based approach. Furthermore, the review discusses (i) the possible risk of bias of the in vivo evaluation of cell-based approaches, (ii) the difficulty in replication of such experiments due to frequent poor reporting of the methods and results, and (iii) the clinical relevance of the currently utilized BMSC- and PDC-based approaches.

Abstract
Due to their immunosuppressive potential and ability to differentiate into multiple musculoskeletal cell lineages, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) became popular in clinical trials for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize native populations of MSCs from human cortical and cancellous bone from the posterior elements of the lumbar spine and determine what source of MSCs yield better quality and quantity of cells to be potentially use for spinal fusion repair. We were able to show that MSCs from trabecular and cortical spine had the typical MSC morphology and expression markers; the ability to differentiate in adipocyte, chondrocyte, or osteoblast but they did not have a consistent pattern in the expression of the specific differentiation lineage genes. Moreover, MSCs from both sites demonstrated an immune suppression profile suggesting that these cells may have a more promising success in applications related to immunomodulation more than exploring their ability to drive osteogenesis to prevent nonunion in spine fusion procedures.

[PMID: 37736343 PMCID: PMC10509736 DOI: 10.34172/bi.2022.24142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 12/25/2021] [Accepted: 01/01/2022] [Indexed: 09/23/2023]
Abstract
Introduction This study focused on preparing a multiscale three-dimensional (3D) scaffold using tricalcium phosphate nanoparticles (triCaPNPs) in a substrate of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) polymer for controlled release of exosomes in bone tissue engineering. Methods A scaffold was fabricated with a material mixture containing acrylic acid (AA) monomer, N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAA), ammonium persulfate (APS), sodium bicarbonate (SBC), and triCaPNPs called composite scaffold (PAA/triCaPNPs) via cross-linking and freeze-drying methods. The synthesis process was easy and without complex multi-steps. Through mimicking the hybrid (organic-inorganic) structure of the bone matrix, we here chose triCaPNPs for incorporation into the PAA polymer. After assessing the physicochemical properties of the scaffold, the interaction of the scaffold with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) such as attachment, proliferation, and differentiation to osteoblast cells was evaluated. In addition, we used DiI-labeled exosomes to verify the exosome entrapment and release from the scaffold. Results The polymerization reaction of 3D scaffold was successful. Based on results of physicochemical properties, the presence of nanoparticles in the composite scaffold enhanced the mechanical stiffness, boosted the porosity with a larger pore size range, and offered better hydrophilicity, all of which would contribute to greater cell penetration, proliferation, and then better bone differentiation. In addition, our results indicated that our scaffold could take up and release exosomes, where the exosomes released from it could significantly enhance the osteogenic commitment of UC-MSCs. Conclusion The current research is the first study fabricating a multiscale scaffold using triCaPNPs in the substrate of PPA polymer using a cross-linker and freeze-drying process. This scaffold could mimic the nanoscale structure and chemical combination of native bone minerals. In addition, our results suggest that the PAA/triCaPNPs scaffold could be beneficial to achieve controlled exosome release for exosome-based therapy in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) expressing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) expressing endogenous bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) play the important role in new bone formation. This study investigated the effects of a porous hydroxyapatite (HA)/chitosan (CS)/polycaprolactone (PCL) composite scaffold-engrafted EPCs and BMSCs on the expression of BMP-2, VEGF, and PDGF in the calvarial defect rabbit model in vivo. It showed that a three-dimensional composite scaffold was successfully constructed by physical interaction with a pore size of 250 μm. The HA/CS/PCL scaffold degraded slowly within 10 weeks and showed non-cytotoxicity. By X-ray, micro-CT examination, and H&E staining, compared with the HA/CS/PCL group, HA/CS/PCL + EPCs, HA/CS/PCL + BMSCs, and HA/CS/PCL + EPCs + BMSCs groups performed a more obvious repair effect, and the dual factor group presented particularly significant improvement on the percentages of bone volume at week 4 and week 8, with evident bone growth. Osteogenesis marker (BMP-2) and vascularization marker (VEGF and PDGF) expression in the dual factor group were much better than those of the HA/CS/PCL control group and single factor groups. Collectively, the HA/CS/PCL composite scaffold-engrafting EPCs and BMSCs is effective to repair calvarial defects by regulating endogenous expression of BMP-2, VEGF, and PDGF. Thus, this study provides important implications for the potential clinical application of biomaterial composite scaffold-engrafted engineering cells.

Decellularized Periosteum-Derived Hydrogels Promote the Proliferation, Migration and Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Gels 2022; 8:gels8050294.

Abstract
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) are promising for bone tissue engineering, which have a non-invasive harvesting process, high cell yield, favorable proliferation capacity, and low immunogenicity. However, the osteogenic efficacy of hUCMSCs is relatively lower than that of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Hydrogels from decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) preserve the biological compositions and functions of natural ECM, which can provide tissue-specific cues to regulate phenotypic expression and cell fate. It is unknown, however, whether hydrogels from periosteum can serve as pro-osteogenic carriers of hUCMSCs. Herein, a decellularized periosteum-derived hydrogel (dPH) was fabricated to reveal the effects of periosteum-specific cues on the bioactivities of hUCMSCs. A widely used non-bone/periosteum-derived ECM hydrogel product, Matrigel, was used as the control group. After decellularization, the absence of nuclei in the histological analysis indicated a successful removal of cellular components, which was also confirmed by DNA content quantification. The storage modulus of dPH increased (from 164.49 ± 29.92 Pa to 855.20 ± 20.67 Pa) with increasing concentration (from 0.5% to 1%). With a highly porous, fibrous microstructure, dPH had a more hydrophilic surface than Matrigel, of which the water contact angle reduced 62.62 ± 0.04%. Furthermore, dPH prominently promoted the initial cellular spreading with a significantly higher cell surface area (1.47-fold), cell spreading length (1.45-fold) and proliferation (approximately 1.05–1.13-fold) of hUCMSCs than those of Matrigel. Additionally, dPH was conducive to cell migration, whereas no cells migrated to Matrigel in the Transwell model. Compared with those of the Matrigel group, the osteogenesis-related genes expression levels (runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteopontin (OPN), and osteocalcin (OCN)) and mineralized matrix formation (9.74-fold) of the hUCMSCs significantly increased in the dPH group. Our study indicated that dPH could provide a pro-osteogenic microenvironment for hUCMSCs, thereby revealing a promising application potential to repair bone defects.

Abstract
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) are attractive therapeutic cells for tissue engineering to treat bone defects. However, how the cells can differentiate into bone remains unclear. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that participate in many biological processes, including stem cell differentiation. In this study, we investigated the profiles and functions of lncRNAs in the osteogenic differentiation of hUCMSCs. We identified 343 lncRNAs differentially expressed during osteogenic differentiation, of which 115 were upregulated and 228 were downregulated. We further analyzed these lncRNAs using bioinformatic analyses, including Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. GO and KEGG pathway analysis showed that ‘intracellular part’ and ‘Phosphatidylinositol signaling system’ were the most correlated molecular function and pathway, respectively. We selected the top 10 upregulated lncRNAs to construct six competing endogenous RNA networks. We validated the impact of the lncRNA H19 on osteogenic differentiation by overexpressing it in hUCMSCs. Overall, our results pave the way to detailed studies of the molecular mechanisms of hUCMSC osteogenic differentiation, and they provide a new theoretical basis to guide the therapeutic application of hUCMSCs.

Abstract
Current cranial repair techniques combine the use of autologous bone grafts and biomaterials. In addition to their association with harvesting morbidity, autografts are often limited by insufficient quantity of bone stock. Biomaterials lead to better outcomes, but their effectiveness is often compromised by the unpredictable lack of integration and structural failure. Bone tissue engineering offers the promising alternative of generating constructs composed of instructive biomaterials including cells or cell-secreted products, which could enhance the outcome of reconstructive treatments. This review focuses on cell-based approaches with potential to regenerate calvarial bone defects, including human studies and preclinical research. Further, we discuss strategies to deliver extracellular matrix, conditioned media and extracellular vesicles derived from cell cultures. Recent advances in 3D printing and bioprinting techniques that appear to be promising for cranial reconstruction are also discussed. Finally, we review cell-based gene therapy approaches, covering both unregulated and regulated gene switches that can create spatiotemporal patterns of transgenic therapeutic molecules. In summary, this review provides an overview of the current developments in cell-based strategies with potential to enhance the surgical armamentarium for regenerating cranial vault defects.

Abstract
Even though reunion of bone fracture confronts clinicians, mesenchymal stromal
cells (MSCs) are investigated to be curative in bone fracture. This study aimed
to explore the application potential of MSCs for healing bone fractures. By
inputting search terms and retrieving studies published up to March 2021,
multiple databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane
Library, were searched to identify eligible studies. The mean difference (MD)
and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated to analyze the main results
in the meta-analysis. Data analysis was performed using Engauge Digitizer 10.8
and R Software. Of the 31 articles, 26 were preclinical studies
(n = 913), and 5 were clinical trials (n =
335). Preclinically, MSCs therapy significantly augmented the progress of bone
regeneration [(bone volume over tissue volume (MD7.35, p <
0.01)], despite some non-significant effects (on the callus index, bone
strength, work to failure, and stiffness). Clinically, the MSC group had a
significantly reduced incidence of poor recovery (odds ratio (OR) 0.30,
p < 0.01); however, a significant decrease in healing
time was not observed in the MSC group (MD 2.47, p = 0.26). In
summary, our data suggest that patients with bone fractures benefited from MSC
administration and that MSCs are a potentially useful agent for bone
regeneration. Despite these satisfactory outcomes, larger randomised clinical
trials (RCTs) are necessary to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) are a potential clinical material in regenerative medicine applications. Metformin has shown safety and effectiveness as a clinical drug. However, the effect of metformin as a treatment on hUC-MSCs is unclear. Our research aimed to explore the effects of metformin on the osteogenesis, adipogenesis and angiogenesis of hUC-MSCs, and attempted to explain the molecular fluctuations of metformin through the mapping of protein profiles. Proliferation assay, osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation induction, cell cycle, flow cytometry, quantitative proteomics techniques and bioinformatics analysis were used to detect the influences of metformin treatment on hUC-MSCs. Our results demonstrated that low concentrations of metformin promoted the proliferation of hUC-MSCs, but high concentrations of metformin inhibited it. Metformin exhibited promotion of osteogenesis but inhibition of adipogenesis. Metformin treated hUC-MSCs up-regulated the expression of osteogenic marker ALP, OCN and RUNX2, but down-regulated the expression of adipogenic markers PPARγ and LPL. Proteomics analysis found that up-regulation of differentially expressed proteins in metformin treatment group involved the biological process of cell migration in Gene Ontology analysis. Metformin enhanced cell migration of HUVEC in a co-culture system, and hUC-MSCs treated with metformin exhibited stronger angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo compared to the hUC-MSCs group. The results of RT-qPCR revealed that the SCF and VEGFR2 were raised in metformin treatment. This study can promote the application of hUC-MSCs treated with metformin to tissue engineering for vascular reconstruction and angiogenesis.

Abstract
Among different treatments of critical-sized bone defects, bone tissue engineering (BTE) is a fast-developing strategy centering around the fabrication of scaffolds that can stimulate tissue regeneration and provide mechanical support at the same time. This area has seen an extensive application of bioceramics, such as calcium phosphate, for their bioactivity and resemblance to the composition of natural bones. Moreover, recent advances in additive manufacturing (AM) have unleashed enormous potential in the fabrication of BTE scaffolds with tailored porous structures as well as desired biological and mechanical properties. Robocasting is an AM technique that has been widely applied to fabricate calcium phosphate scaffolds, but most of these scaffolds do not meet the mechanical requirements for load-bearing BTE scaffolds. In light of this challenge, various approaches have been utilized to mechanically strengthen the scaffolds. In this review, the current state of knowledge and existing research on robocasting of calcium phosphate scaffolds are presented. Applying the Gibson-Ashby model, this review provides a meta-analysis from the published literature of the compressive strength of robocast calcium phosphate scaffolds. Furthermore, this review evaluates different approaches to the mechanical strengthening of robocast calcium phosphate scaffolds. The aim of this review is to provide insightful data and analysis for future research on mechanical strengthening of robocast calcium phosphate scaffolds and ultimately for their clinical applications.

Potential of Bone-Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Maxillofacial and Periodontal Regeneration: A Narrative Review. Int J Dent 2021; 2021:4759492.

Abstract
Bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are one of the most widely studied postnatal stem cell populations and are considered to utilize more frequently in cell-based therapy and cancer. These types of stem cells can undergo multilineage differentiation including blood cells, cardiac cells, and osteogenic cells differentiation, thus providing an alternative source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for tissue engineering and personalized medicine. Despite the ability to reprogram human adult somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in culture which provided a great opportunity and opened the new door for establishing the in vitro disease modeling and generating an unlimited source for cell base therapy, using MSCs for regeneration purposes still have a great chance to cure diseases. In this review, we discuss the important issues in MSCs biology including the origin and functions of MSCs and their application for craniofacial and periodontal tissue regeneration, discuss the potential and clinical applications of this type of stem cells in differentiation to maxillofacial bone and cartilage in vitro, and address important future hopes and challenges in this field.

Abstract
Bone is a dynamic self-healing organ and a continuous remodeling ensures the restoration of the bone structure and function over time. However, bone remodeling is not able to repair large traumatic injuries. Therefore, surgical interventions and bone substitutes are required. The aim of bone tissue engineering is to repair and regenerate tissues and engineered a bone graft as a bone substitute. To met this goal, several natural or synthetic polymers have been used to develop a biocompatible and biodegradable polymeric construct. Among the polymers, natural polymers have higher biocompatibility, excellent biodegradability, and no toxicity. So far, collagen, chitosan, gelatin, silk fibroin, alginate, cellulose, and starch, alone or in combination, have been widely used in bone tissue engineering. These polymers have been used as scaffolds, hydrogels, and micro-nanospheres. The functionalization of the polymer with growth factors and bioactive glasses increases the potential use of polymers for bone regeneration. As bone is a dynamic highly vascularized tissue, the vascularization of the polymeric scaffolds is vital for successful bone regeneration. Several in vivo and in vitro strategies have been used to vascularize the polymeric scaffolds. In this review, the application of the most commonly used natural polymers is discussed.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are crucial elements of non-coding RNA, that regulate various biological processes. To date, expression patterns and functional roles of circRNAs during osteogenic differentiation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cells (hUCMSCs) remain unknown. In this study, we analyzed RNA-sequence data to reveal expression profiles of circRNAs during osteogenesis of hUCMSCs, then elucidated the underlying mechanisms of action. We identified a total of 5457 circRNAs in hUCMSCs, of which 34 and 33 were upregulated and downregulated, respectively. We applied Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses to determine functions and related pathways of differentially expressed circRNAs. Moreover, we applied bioinformatics tools to construct competing endogenous RNA networks, comprising 10 circRNAs, 46 micro RNAs and 413 mRNAs. Furthermore, we predicted protein-coding potential of the upregulated circRNAs then constructed a co-expression network comprising the top 5 upregulated circRNAs and 75 RNA-binding proteins. Next, we validated 6 differentially-expressed circRNAs and found that overexpressing circ-CTTN could promote osteogenesis of hUCMSCs. Overall, our findings indicate that clusters of circRNAs are aberrantly expressed in hUCMSCs during osteogenic differentiation, hence lay a foundation for future research into promoting hUCMSCs osteogenic differentiation and bone regeneration.

Abstract
Magnetic scaffolds incorporated with iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are biocompatible and present excellent osteogenic properties. However, the underlying mechanism is unclear. In this study, 3D-printed poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) scaffolds were coated with IONPs using layer-by-layer assembly (Fe-scaffold) to prepare magnetic scaffolds. The effects of this modification on osteogenesis were investigated by comparison with untreated scaffolds (Uncoated-scaffold). The results showed that the proliferation of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) on the Fe-scaffold was enhanced compared with those on the Uncoated-scaffold (p < 0.05). The alkaline phosphatase activity and expression levels of osteogenic-related genes of cells on the Fe-scaffold were higher than those on the Uncoated-scaffold (p < 0.05). Fe-scaffold was found to promote the cell adhesion compared with Uncoated-scaffold, including increasing the adhered cell number, promoting cell spreading and upregulating the expression levels of adhesion-related genes integrin α1 and β1 and their downstream signaling molecules FAK and ERK1/2 (p < 0.05). Moreover, the amount of new bone formed in rat calvarial defects at 8 weeks decreased in the order: Fe-scaffold > Uncoated-scaffold > Blank-control (samples whose defects were left empty) (p < 0.05). Therefore, 3D magnetic nanocomposite scaffolds enhanced the osteogenic capacities of rBMSCs in vitro and in a rat calvarial bone defect model by promoting cell adhesion. The mechanisms were attributed to the alteration in its hydrophilicity, surface roughness, and chemical composition.

Abstract
In bone regeneration induced by the combination of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and calcium-phosphate (CaP) materials, osteoclasts emerge as a pivotal cell linking inflammation and bone formation. Favorable outcomes are observed despite short-term engraftments of implanted MSCs, highlighting their major paracrine function and the possible implication of cell death in modulating their secretions. In this work, we focused on the communication from MSCs towards osteoclasts-like cells in vitro. MSCs seeded on a CaP biomaterial or undergoing induced apoptosis produced a conditioned media favoring the development of osteoclasts from human CD14+ monocytes. On the contrary, MSCs’ apoptotic secretion inhibited the development of inflammatory multinucleated giant cells formed after IL-4 stimulation. Components of MSCs’ secretome before and after apoptotic stress were compared using mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics and a complementary immunoassay for major cytokines. CXCR-1 and CXCR-2 ligands, primarily IL-8/CXCL-8 but also the growth-regulated proteins CXCL-1, -2 or -3, were suggested as the major players of MSCs’ pro-osteoclastic effect. These findings support the hypothesis that osteoclasts are key players in bone regeneration and suggest that apoptosis plays an important role in MSCs’ effectiveness.

Abstract
Aim: To investigate the outcome of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and platelet-rich plasma in combination with calcium phosphate cement (CPC) scaffold to reconstruct femoral critical bone defects in mini-pigs. Materials & methods: Scanning electron microscopy, micro-computed tomography evaluation and quantitative histological assessment were used. Results & conclusion: BMMSCs were attached to the CPC scaffold after 7 days of culture and decreased the residual CPC material in each group at 12 weeks compared with 6 weeks. The newly formed bone area was higher in the CPC+SC+P group than in the CPC group at each time point (all p < 0.05). The strategy of CPC combined with BMMSCs and platelet-rich plasma might be an effective method to repair bone defects.

Abstract
Bone regeneration is a complex, well-orchestrated process based on the interactions between osteogenesis and angiogenesis, observed in both physiological and pathological situations. However, specific conditions (e.g., bone regeneration in large quantity, immunocompromised regenerative process) require additional support. Tissue engineering offers novel strategies. Bone regeneration requires a cell source, a matrix, growth factors and mechanical stimulation. Regenerative cells, endowed with proliferation and differentiation capacities, aim to recover, maintain, and improve bone functions. Vascularization is mandatory for bone formation, skeletal development, and different osseointegration processes. The latter delivers nutrients, growth factors, oxygen, minerals, etc. The development of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) cocultures has shown synergy between the two cell populations. The phenomena of osteogenesis and angiogenesis are intimately intertwined. Thus, cells of the endothelial line indirectly foster osteogenesis, and conversely, MSCs promote angiogenesis through different interaction mechanisms. In addition, various studies have highlighted the importance of the microenvironment via the release of extracellular vesicles (EVs). These EVs stimulate bone regeneration and angiogenesis. In this review, we describe (1) the phenomenon of bone regeneration by different sources of MSCs. We assess (2) the input of EPCs in coculture in bone regeneration and describe their contribution to the osteogenic potential of MSCs. We discuss (3) the interaction mechanisms between MSCs and EPCs in the context of osteogenesis: direct or indirect contact, production of growth factors, and the importance of the microenvironment via the release of EVs.

Abstract
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are exciting for regenerative medicine due to their multi-potent differentiation. SB431542 bioactive molecule can activate bone morphogenetic protein-signalling in osteoblasts. The objectives were to: (1) develop a novel injectable calcium phosphate cement (CPC)-SB431542 scaffold for dental/craniofacial bone engineering; and (2) investigate cell proliferation and osteo-differentiation of hiPSC-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hiPSC-MSCs) on CPC-SB431542 scaffold. Three groups were tested: CPC control; CPC with SB431542 inside CPC (CPCSM); CPC with SB431542 in osteogenic medium (CPC+SMM). SB431542 in CPC promoted stem cell proliferation and viability. hiPSC-MSCs differentiated into osteogenic lineage and synthesized bone minerals. CPC with SB431542 showed much greater osteo-expressions and more bone minerals than those without SB431542. In conclusion, hiPSC-MSCs on CPC scaffold containing SB431542 showed excellent osteo-differentiation and bone mineral synthesis for the first time. CPC was a suitable scaffold for delivering stem cells and SB431542 to promote bone regeneration in dental/craniofacial applications.

Abstract
Thanks to its biological properties, the human amniotic membrane (HAM) combined with a bone substitute could be a single-step surgical alternative to the two-step Masquelet induced membrane (IM) technique for regeneration of critical bone defects. However, no study has directly compared these two membranes. We first designed a 3D-printed scaffold using calcium phosphate cement (CPC). We assessed its suitability in vitro to support human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (hBMSCs) attachment and osteodifferentiation. We then performed a rat femoral critical size defect to compare the two-step IM technique with a single-step approach using the HAM. Five conditions were compared. Group 1 was left empty. Group 2 received the CPC scaffold loaded with rh-BMP2 (CPC/BMP2). Group 3 and 4 received the CPC/BMP2 scaffold covered with lyophilized or decellularized/lyophilized HAM. Group 5 underwent a two- step induced membrane procedure with insertion of a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) spacer followed by, after 4 weeks, its replacement with the CPC/BMP2 scaffold wrapped in the IM. Micro-CT and histomorphometric analysis were performed after six weeks. Results showed that the CPC scaffold supported the proliferation and osteodifferentiation of hBMSCs in vitro. In vivo, the CPC/BMP2 scaffold very efficiently induced bone formation and led to satisfactory healing of the femoral defect, in a single-step, without autograft or the need for any membrane covering. In this study, there was no difference between the two-step induced membrane procedure and a single step approach. However, the results indicated that none of the tested membranes further enhanced bone healing compared to the CPC/BMP2 group.

Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are regarded as promising graft substitutes for bone tissue engineering. However, their wide use is limited by the high cost associated with the complex synthetic processes involved in their fabrication. Cheaper xenogeneic calcium phosphate (CaP) materials derived from waste animal bone may solve this problem. Moreover, the surface topography, mechanical strength, and cellular function of CPCs are influenced by the ratio of micro- to nano-sized CaP (M/NCaP) particles. In this study, we developed waste equine bone (EB)-derived CPCs with various M/NCaP particle ratios to examine the potential capacity of EB-CPCs for bone grafting materials. Our study showed that increasing the number of NCaP particles resulted in reductions in roughness and porosity while promoting smoother surfaces of EB-CPCs. Changes in the chemical properties of EB-CPCs by NCaP particles were observed using X-ray diffractometry. The mechanical properties and cohesiveness of the EB-CPCs improved as the NCaP particle content increased. In an in vitro study, EB-CPCs with a greater proportion of MCaP particles showed higher cell adhesion. Alkaline phosphatase activity indicated that osteogenic differentiation by EB-CPCs was promoted with increased NCaP particle content. These results could provide a design criterion for bone substitutes for orthopedic disease, including periodontal bone defects.

Abstract
Cleft lip and palate is a congenital disorder including cleft lip, and/or cleft palate, and/or alveolar cleft, with high incidence.The alveolar cleft causes morphological and functional abnormalities. To obtain bone bridge formation and continuous structure between alveolar clefts, surgical interventions are performed from infancy to childhood. However, desirable bone bridge formation is not obtained in many cases. Regenerative medicine using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is expected to be a useful strategy to obtain sufficient bone bridge formation between alveolar clefts. In this study, we examined the effect of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs by transplantation into a rat experimental alveolar cleft model. Human umbilical cords were digested enzymatically and the isolated cells were collected (UC-EZ cells). Next, CD146-positive cells were enriched from UC-EZ cells by magnetic-activated cell sorting (UC-MACS cells). UC-EZ and UC-MACS cells showed MSC gene/protein expression, in vitro. Both cells had multipotency and could differentiate to osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic lineages under the differentiation-inducing media. However, UC-EZ cells lacked Sox2 expression and showed the lower ratio of MSCs than UC-MACS cells. Thus, UC-MACS cells were transplanted with hydroxyapatite and collagen (HA + Col) into alveolar cleft model to evaluate bone formation in vivo. The results of micro computed tomography and histological staining showed that UC-MACS cells with HA + Col induced more abundant bone formation between the experimental alveolar clefts than HA + Col implantation only. Cells immunopositive for osteopontin were accumulated along the bone surface and some of them were embedded in the bone. Cells immunopositive for human-specific mitochondria were aligned along the newly formed bone surface and in the new bone, suggesting that UC-MACS cells contributed to the bone bridge formation between alveolar clefts. These findings indicate that human umbilical cords are reliable bioresource and UC-MACS cells are useful for the alveolar cleft regeneration.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the major pathogen for osteomyelitis, which can lead to bone necrosis and destruction. There has been no report on antibacterial calcium phosphate cement (CPC) against S. aureus. The aims of this study were to: (1) develop novel antibacterial CPC-chitosan-alginate microbead scaffold; (2) investigate mechanical and antibacterial properties of CPC-chitosan-penicillin-alginate scaffold; (3) evaluate the encapsulation and delivery of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs). Flexural strength, elastic modulus and work-of-fracture of the CPC-chitosan-penicillin-alginate microbeads scaffold and CPC-chitosan scaffold were evaluated. Penicillin release profile and antibacterial effects on S. aureus were determined. The hUCMSC delivery and release from penicillin-alginate microbeads were investigated. Injectable CPC-chitosan-penicillin-alginate microbeads scaffold was developed for the first time. CPC-chitosan-penicillin-alginate microbeads scaffold had a flexural strength of 3.16 ± 0.55 MPa, matching that of cancellous bone. With sustained penicillin release, the new scaffold had strong antibacterial effects on S. aureus, with an inhibition zone diameter of 32.2 ± 2.5 mm, greater than that of penicillin disk control (15.1 ± 2.0 mm) (p < 0.05). Furthermore, this injectable and antibacterial scaffold had no toxic effects, yielding excellent hUCMSC viability, which was similar to that of CPC control without antibacterial activity (p > 0.05). CPC-chitosan-penicillin-microbeads scaffold had injectability, good strength, strong antibacterial effects, and good biocompatibility to support stem cell viability for osteogenesis. CPC-chitosan-penicillin-microbeads scaffold is promising for dental, craniofacial and orthopedic applications to combat infections and promote bone regeneration.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis and post-operative infections are major problems in orthopedic, dental and craniofacial surgeries. It is highly desirable for a tissue engineering construct to kill bacteria, while simultaneously delivering stem cells and enhancing cell function and tissue regeneration. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a novel injectable calcium phosphate cement (CPC) scaffold containing antibiotic ornidazole (ORZ) while encapsulating human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs), and (2) investigate the inhibition efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and the promotion of hPDLSC function for osteogenesis for the first time. ORZ was incorporated into a CPC-chitosan scaffold. hPDLSCs were encapsulated in alginate microbeads (denoted hPDLSCbeads). The ORZ-loaded CPCC+hPDLSCbeads scaffold was fully injectable, and had a flexural strength of 3.50 ± 0.92 MPa and an elastic modulus of 1.30 ± 0.45 GPa, matching those of natural cancellous bone. With 6 days of sustained ORZ release, the CPCC+10ORZ (10% ORZ) scaffold had strong antibacterial effects on S. aureus, with an inhibition zone of 12.47 ± 1.01 mm. No colonies were observed in the CPCC+10ORZ group from 3 to 7 days. ORZ-containing scaffolds were biocompatible with hPDLSCs. CPCC+10ORZ+hPDLSCbeads scaffold with osteogenic medium had 2.4-fold increase in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and bone mineral synthesis by hPDLSCs, as compared to the control group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the novel antibacterial construct with stem cell delivery had injectability, good strength, strong antibacterial effects and biocompatibility, supporting osteogenic differentiation and bone mineral synthesis of hPDLSCs. The injectable and mechanically-strong CPCC+10ORZ+hPDLSCbeads construct has great potential for treating bone infections and promoting bone regeneration.

Abstract
Background: Adequate peri-implant bone mass and bone quality are essential factors to ensure the initial stability of the implant and success of implant operation. In clinical settings, the lack of bone mass often restricts the implant operation. In this study, we fabricated a smart porous scaffold with a shape memory function and investigated whether it could promote peri-implant osteogenesis under the periosteum. Methods: A porous shape memory polymer (SMP) scaffold was fabricated and its shape memory function, mechanical properties, and degradation rate were tested in vitro. Moreover, the scaffold was implanted in the mandible of rabbits to evaluate its efficacy to promote peri-implant osteogenesis in the periosteum and enhance the initial stability of the implant. Histological, micro-CT, and biomechanical analyses were carried out for further verification. Results: The SMP scaffold has a good shape memory function and biocompatibility in vitro. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the SMP scaffold could recover to its original shape after implantation to create a small gap in the periosteum. After 12 weeks, the scaffold was gradually replaced by a newly formed bone, and the stability of the implant increased when it implanted with the scaffold. Conclusion: The present study indicates that the SMP scaffolds have a good shape memory function and could enhance peri-implant bone formation under the periosteum. The SMP scaffold provides a clinical potential candidate for bone tissue engineering under the periosteum.

Abstract
Endometrial traumas may cause intrauterine adhesions (IUAs), leading to infertility. Conventional methods in clinic have not solved the problem of endometrial regeneration in severe cases. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UC-MSC)-based therapies have shown some promising achievements in the treatment of IUAs. However, the limitations of potential tumorigenicity, low infusion and low retention are still controversial and restricted the clinical application of MSCs. In contrast, UC-MSC-derived exosomes exhibit a similar function to their source cells and are expected to overcome these limitations. Therefore, a novel and viable cell-free therapeutic strategy by UC-MSC-derived exosomes was proposed in this study. Here, we designed a construct of exosomes and collagen scaffold (CS/Exos) for endometrial regeneration in a rat endometrium-damage model, and investigated the regeneration mechanism through macrophage immunomodulation. The CS/Exos transplantation potently induced (i) endometrium regeneration, (ii) collagen remodeling, (iii) increased the expression of the estrogen receptor α/progesterone receptor, and (iv) restored fertility. Mechanistically, CS/Exos facilitated CD163+ M2 macrophage polarization, reduced inflammation, and increased anti-inflammatory responses in vivo and in vitro. By RNA-seq, miRNAs enriched in exosomes were the main mediator for exosomes-induced macrophage polarization. Overall, we demonstrated that CS/Exos treatment facilitated endometrium regeneration and fertility restoration by immunomodulatory functions of miRNAs. Our research highlights the therapeutic prospects of CS/Exos for the management of IUAs. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Severe endometrial traumas always result in intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) and infertility. The limited outcomes by conventional methods in the clinic make it very important to develop new strategies for endometrium regeneration and fertility restoration. In this study, an exosome-laden scaffold (CS/Exos) was designed and the transplantation of CS/Exos potently induced (i) endometrium regeneration, (ii) collagen remodeling, (iii) increased the expression of the estrogen receptor α/progesterone receptor, and (iv) restored fertility. In mechanism, the construct of CS/Exos facilitated M2 macrophage polarization, reduced inflammation, and increased anti-inflammatory responses. Furthermore, miRNAs enriched in exosomes were the main mediator for exosome-induced macrophage polarization. This study highlights the therapeutic prospects of CS/Exos and the translational application for the management of severe IUAs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The current 'gold-standard' treatment of critical-sized bone defects (CSBDs) is autografts; however, they have drawbacks including lack of massive bone source donor site morbidity, incomplete remodeling, and the risk of infection. One potential treatment for treating CSBDs is bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). Previously, there were no studies regarding the use of human umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) for treating BDs. We aim to investigate the use of allogeneic hUC-MSCs for treating CSBDs. METHOD We included subjects who were diagnosed with non-union fracture with CSBDs who agreed to undergo hUC-MSCs implantation. All patients were given allogeneic hUC-MSCs. All MSCs were obtained and cultured using the multiple-harvest explant method. Subjects were evaluated functionally using the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) and radiologically by volume defect reduction. RESULT A total of seven (3 male, 4 female) subjects were recruited for this study. The subjects age ranged from 14 to 62 years. All seven subjects had increased LEFS during the end of the follow-up period, indicating improved functional ability. The follow-up period ranged from 12 to 36 months. One subject had wound dehiscence and infection, and two subjects developed partial union. CONCLUSION Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells are a potential new treatment for CSBDs. Additional studies with larger samples and control groups are required to further investigate the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells for treating CSBDs.

Abstract
The underlying mechanisms of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs) and their exosomes (hucMSC-Exs), which play significant roles in skin wound healing, remain poorly understood. By using a rat model of deep second-degree burn injury, the roles of hucMSC-Exs in angiogenesis and cutaneous wound healing in vivo were investigated. We found that hucMSC-Exs accelerated skin wound healing and angiogenesis, inducing a higher wound-closure rate and increased expression of CD31 in vivo. We also discovered that hucMSC-Exs contained angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), and treatment with hucMSC-Exs enhanced the expression of the Ang-2 protein in the wound area and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) through exosomal-mediated Ang-2 transfer. Moreover, hucMSC-Exs promoted the proliferative, migratory, and tube-forming ability of HUVECs. Furthermore, overexpression of Ang-2 in hucMSC-Exs further enhanced HUVEC migration and tube formation and exerted therapeutic and proangiogenic effects in cutaneous wounds in rats, whereas knockdown of Ang-2 in hucMSC-Exs abrogated these therapeutic and proangiogenic effects. Taken together, our results indicated that hucMSC-Ex-derived Ang-2 plays a significant role in tube formation of HUVECs and promotion of angiogenesis, and further suggested that hucMSC-Ex-based therapy may serve as a promising therapeutic approach for promoting cutaneous wound healing.

Abstract
Nail pathologies have a broad range of origin and may sometimes be complicated in presentation or clinical course, specifically when the pathology remains recalcitrant after treatment. In this case report we discuss a pathologic disorder that was initially misdiagnosed as a pyogenic granuloma surrounding an ingrown nail but was later found to be a benign neoplastic bone growth, Dupuytren exostosis, also known as a subungual exostosis. Operative treatment was deemed appropriate for the patient, and the exostosis was resected, leaving a soft-tissue void at the distal toe. The remaining void was filled with a perinatal graft, the use of which has been deemed effective anecdotally in both chronic and acute lower-extremity wounds but has not been widely discussed in the lower-extremity literature. This graft was placed to aid in wound healing over a potentially difficult wound bed. As amniotic, chorionic, and umbilical grafts become more prevalent in lower-extremity surgery, its antitumor effects should be further explored and published. This is the first case report, to our knowledge, of the successful use of a perinatal graft in the setting of a bone tumor, and it demonstrates that certain benign neoplasms can be treated with resection and placement of a perinatal graft while helping to prevent chronic wounds at surgical sites.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) has achieved extensive applications due to its excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties. Plasma can enhance surface hydrophilia of Ti with decreased carbon contamination. The traditional conditions using a single gas plasma was for longer treatment time and more prone to being contaminated. We designed and developed novel and universal apparatus and methods with a special clamping device of non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) treatment using mixed gas for Ti surface activation. We systematically and quantitatively investigated the effective effects of NTAP-Ti. The surface water contact angle decreased by 100%, the carbon content decreased by 80% and oxygen content increased by 50% in the novel NTAP-Ti surfaces. NTAP treatment accelerated the attachment, spread, proliferation, osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblasts in vitro. The percentage of bone-to-implant contact increased by 25–40%, and the osteoclasts and bone resorption were suppressed by 50% in NTAP-Ti in vivo. In conclusion, NTAP-Ti substantially enhanced the physical and biological effects and integration with bone. The novel and universal apparatus and methods with a special clamping device using gas mixtures are promising for implant activation by swiftly and effectively changing the Ti surface to a hydrophilic one to enhance dental and orthopedic applications.

Abstract
Thanks to its biological properties, the human amniotic membrane (HAM) can be used as a barrier membrane for guided bone regeneration (GBR). However, no study has assessed the influence of the preservation method of HAM for this application. This study aimed to establish the most suitable preservation method of HAM for GBR. Fresh (F), cryopreserved (C) lyophilized (L), and decellularized and lyophilized (DL) HAM were compared. The impact of preservation methods on collagen and glycosaminoglycans (GAG) content was evaluated using Masson's trichrome and alcian blue staining. Their suture retention strengths were assessed. In vitro, the osteogenic potential of human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (hBMSCs) cultured on the four HAMs was evaluated using alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red quantification assay. In vivo, the effectiveness of fresh and preserved HAMs for GBR was assessed in a mice diaphyseal bone defect after 1 week or 1 month healing. Micro-CT and histomorphometric analysis were performed. The major structural components of HAM (collagen and GAG) were preserved whatever the preservation method used. The tearing strength of DL-HAM was significantly higher. In vitro, hBMSCs seeded on DL-HAM displayed a stronger ALP staining, and alizarin red staining quantification was significantly higher at Day 14. In vivo, L-HAM and DL-HAM significantly enhanced early bone regeneration. One month after the surgery, only DL-HAM slightly promoted bone regeneration. Several preserving methods of HAM have been studied for bone regeneration. Here, we have demonstrated that DL-HAM achieved the most promising results for GBR.

Abstract
Current treatments of large bone defects are based on autologous or allogenic bone transplantation. Human amniotic fluid stem cells (hAFSCs) were evaluated for their potential in bone regenerative medicine. In this study, hAFSCs were transduced with lentiviral vector harboring red fluorescent protein to investigate their role in the regeneration of critical-size bone defects in calvarial mouse model. To distinguish donor versus recipient cells, a transgenic mouse model carrying GFP fluorescent reporter was used as recipient to follow the fate of hAFSCs transplanted in vivo into Healos® scaffold. Our results showed that transduced hAFSCs can be tracked in vivo directly at the site of transplantation. The presence of GFP positive cells in the scaffold at 3 and 6 weeks after transplantation indicates that donor hAFSCs can recruit host cells during the repair process. These observations help clarify the role of hAFSCs in bone tissue repair.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bone regeneration is a complex process modulated by multiple growth factors and hormones during long regeneration period; thus, designing biomaterials with the capacity to deliver multiple bioactive molecules and obtain sustained release has gained an increasing popularity in recent years. This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of a novel core-shell electrospun fibre loaded with dexamethasone (DEX) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) on bone regeneration. MATERIALS AND METHODS The core-shell electrospun fibres were fabricated by coaxial electrospinning technology, which were composed of poly-D, L-lactide (PLA) shell and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) core embedded with BMP-2 and DEX-loaded micelles. Morphology, hydrophilicity, gradation, release profile of BMP-2 and DEX, and cytological behaviour on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were characterized. Furthermore, the effect on bone regeneration was evaluated via critical-sized calvarial defect model. RESULTS The electrospun fibres were featured by the core-shell fibrous architecture and a suitable degradation rate. The sustained release of DEX and BMP-2 was up to 562 hours. The osteogenic gene expression and calcium deposition of BMSCs were significantly enhanced, indicating the osteoinduction capacity of electrospun fibres. This core-shell fibre could accelerate repair of calvarial defects in vivo via synergistic effect. CONCLUSIONS This core-shell electrospun fibre loaded with DEX and BMP-2 can act synergistically to enhance bone regeneration, which stands as a strong potential candidate for repairing bone defects.

Abstract
High glucose condition inhibited osteoblast differentiation could be a main mechanism contributing to the decreased bone repair associated with diabetes. Metformin, a widely prescribed antidiabetic drug, was shown to have osteogenic properties in our previous study. Transplanted mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may differentiate into osteoblasts and promote bone regeneration. Our study aimed to combine the benefits of metformin and MSCs transplantation on osteogenesis in high glucose conditions. We developed demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) as a carrier to target deliver metformin and dental pulp-derived MSCs (DPSCs). We collected clinically discarded teeth, isolated DPSCs from the dental pulp, and prepared the DDM from the dentin. The DDM was observed by scanning electron microscopy and was found to have well-distributed tubes. Then, metformin was loaded into the DDM to form the DDM-Met complex (DDM-Met); DDM-Met released metformin at a favorable concentration. The DPSCs seeded with the DDM-Met in a high glucose medium showed satisfactory attachment and viability together with increased mineralization and upregulated osteogenesis-related genes, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and osteopontin (OPN). A possible mechanism of the enhanced osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs was explored, and the adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway was found to play a role in the enhancement of osteogenesis. DDM-Met appeared to be a successful metformin and DPSC carrier that allowed for the local delivery of metformin and DPSCs in high glucose conditions. DDM-Met-DPSC construct has promising prospects to promote osteogenesis and enhance the much-needed diabetic bone regeneration.
