Abstract
Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a disorder of the synovium characterized by the formation of osteochondral nodules within the synovium. This study aimed to identify the abnormally differentiated progenitor cells and possible pathogenic signaling pathways. Loose bodies and synovium were obtained from patients with SC during knee arthroplasty. Single-cell RNA sequencing was used to identify cell subsets and their gene signatures in SC synovium. Cells derived from osteoarthritis (OA) synovium were used as controls. Multi-differentiation and colony-forming assays were used to identify progenitor cells. The roles of transcription factors and signaling pathways were investigated through computational analysis and experimental verification. We identified an increased proportion of CD34+ sublining fibroblasts in SC synovium. CD34+CD31- cells and CD34-CD31- cells were sorted from SC synovium. Compared with CD34- cells, CD34+ cells had larger alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-stained area and calcified area after osteogenic induction. In addition, CD34+ cells exhibited a stronger tube formation ability than CD34- cells. Our bioinformatic analysis suggested the expression of TWIST1, a negative regulator of osteogenesis, in CD34- sublining fibroblasts and was regulated by the TGF-β signaling pathway. The experiment showed that CD34+ cells acquired the TWIST1 expression during culture and the combination of TGF-β1 and harmine, an inhibitor of Twist1, could further stimulate the osteogenesis of CD34+ cells. Overall, CD34+ synovial fibroblasts in SC synovium have multiple differentiation potentials, especially osteogenic differentiation potential, and might be responsible for the pathogenesis of SC.

Nitric Oxide 2024; 145:21-32. [PMID: 38382865 DOI: 10.1016/j.niox.2024.02.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
Neuronal differentiation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) is greatly promoted by valproic acid (VPA) with cAMP elevating agents thorough NO signaling pathways, but its mechanism is not fully understood. In the present study, we investigate the involvement of protein S-nitrosylation in the VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation of ASCs. The whole amount of S-nitrosylated protein was increased by the treatment with VPA alone for three days in ASCs. An inhibitor of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), auranofin, further increased the amount of S-nitrosylated protein and enhances the VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation in ASCs. On the contrary, another inhibitor of TrxR, dinitrochlorobenzene, inhibited the VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation in ASCs even with cAMP elevating agents, which was accompanied by unexpectedly decreased S-nitrosylated protein. It was considered from these results that increased protein S-nitrosylation is involved in VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation of ASCs. By the proteomic analysis of S-nitrosylated protein in VPA-treated ASCs, no identified proteins could be specifically related to VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation. The identified proteins, however, included those involved in the metabolism of substances regulating neuronal differentiation, such as aspartate and glutamate.

Abstract
Stem cell (SC) therapy has been shown high prospects in erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment. Without ethical issues and risks of immune rejection and tumorigenesis of exogenous SC therapy, endogenous stem/progenitor cells (S/PCs) have a better potential for ED management, and their homing and redistribution are controlled by SDF1-α/CXCR4 axis. Considering black phosphorus nanosheet (BPNS) has emerged as an efficient and safe drug vehicle due to its large surface area, biodegradability, and the ability to retain and slowly release its loaded drugs, BPNS is utilized to load SDF1-α, a chemokine for S/PCs, to construct the BP@SDF1-α complex to efficiently recruit stem cells (SCs) by injury-site injection and thus ameliorate ED within the bilateral cavernous nerve injury (BCNI) rat models. We find that BP@SDF1-α can efficiently recruit exogenous SCs and endogenous S/PCs to corpus cavernosum and main pelvic ganglion (MPG) by local administration. Of note, ascribing to endogenous S/PCs recruitment, it also successfully alleviates ED in BCNI rat models by enhancing the protein expression levels of α-SMA, CD31, and nNOs, and eliciting less collagen deposition in the penis after its combined injection at corpus cavernosum and MPG. Thus, this study provides a new insight into the treatment of ED with endogenous S/PCs. BIODEGRADABLE NANO BLACK PHOSPHORUS BASED SDF1-α DELIVERY SYSTEM AMELIORATES ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION IN A CAVERNOUS NERVE INJURY RAT MODEL BY RECRUITING ENDOGENOUS STEM/PROGENITOR CELLS.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have incredible potential as an avenue to better understand and treat neurological disorders. While they have been successfully differentiated into neural stem cells and neurons, most such protocols involve 2D environments, which are not representative of in vivo physiology. In this study, human ADSCs were cultured in 1.1 kPa polyethylene-glycol 3D hydrogels for 10 days with B27, CultureOne (C1), and N2 neural supplements to examine the neural differentiation potential of ADSCs using both chemical and mechanical cues. Following treatment, cell viability, proliferation, morphology, and proteome changes were assessed. Results showed that cell viability was maintained during treatments, and while cells continued to proliferate over time, proliferation slowed down. Morphological changes between 3D untreated cells and treated cells were not observed. However, they were observed among 2D treatments, which exhibited cellular elongation and co-alignment. Proteome analysis showed changes consistent with early neural differentiation for B27 and C1 but not N2. No significant changes were detected using immunocytochemistry, potentially indicating a greater differentiation period was required. In conclusion, treatment of 3D-cultured ADSCs in PEG-based hydrogels with B27 and C1 further enhances neural marker expression, however, this was not observed using supplementation with N2.

Abstract
Neurological diseases are among the leading causes of disability and death worldwide and remain difficult to treat. Tissue engineering offers avenues to test potential treatments; however, the development of biologically accurate models of brain tissues remains challenging. Given their neurogenic potential and availability, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are of interest for creating neural models. While progress has been made in differentiating ADSCs into neural cells, their differentiation in 3D environments, which are more representative of the in vivo physiological conditions of the nervous system, is crucial. This can be achieved by modulating the 3D matrix composition and stiffness. Human ADSCs were cultured for 14 days in a 1.1 kPa polyethylene glycol-based 3D hydrogel matrix to assess effects on cell morphology, cell viability, proteome changes and spontaneous neural differentiation. Results showed that cells continued to proliferate over the 14-day period and presented a different morphology to 2D cultures, with the cells elongating and aligning with one another. The proteome analysis revealed 439 proteins changed in abundance by >1.5 fold. Cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNPase) markers were identified using immunocytochemistry and confirmed with proteomics. Findings indicate that ADSCs spontaneously increase neural marker expression when grown in an environment with similar mechanical properties to the central nervous system.

Abstract
Although it has been reported that bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs) can transdifferentiate into neural cells, the findings are considered unlikely. It has been argued that the rapid neural transdifferentiation of BMDCs reported in culture studies is actually due to cytotoxic changes induced by the media. While transplantation studies indicated that BMDCs can form new neurons, it remains unclear whether the underlying mechanism is transdifferentiation or BMDCs-derived cell fusion with the existing neuronal cells. Cell fusion has been put forward to explain the presence of gene-marked binucleated neurons after gene-marked BMDCs transplantation. In the present study, we demostrated that human BMDCs can rapidly adopt a neural-like morphology through active neurite extension and binucleated human BMDCs can form with independence of any cell fusion events. We also showed that BMDCs neural-like differentiation involves the formation of intermediate cells which can then redifferentiate into neural-like cells, redifferentiate back to the mesenchymal fate or even repeatedly switch lineages without cell division. Furthermore, we have discovered that nuclei from intermediate cells rapidly move within the cell, adopting different morphologies and even forming binucleated cells. Therefore, our results provide a stronger basis for rejecting the idea that BMDCs neural transdifferentiation is merely an artefact.

Abstract
Neuronal cells can be generated from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) through biological or chemical inducers. Research has shown that this process may be optimized by the introduction of laser irradiation in the form of photobiomodulation (PBM) to cells. This in vitro study is aimed at generating neuronal-like cells with inducers, chemical or biological, and at furthermore treating these transdifferentiating cells with consecutive PBM of a 525 nm green (G) laser and 825 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser light with a fluence of 10 J/cm2. Cells were exposed to induction type 1 (IT1): 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) (0.5 mM)+indomethacin (200 μM)+insulin (5 μg/ml) for 14 days, preinduced with β-mercaptoethanol (BME) (1 mM) for two days, and then incubated with IT2: β-hydroxyanisole (BHA) (100 μM)+retinoic acid (RA) (10-6 M)+epidermal growth factor (EGF) (10 ng/ml)+basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) (10 ng/ml) for 14 days and preinduced with β-mercaptoethanol (BME) (1 mM) for two days and then incubated with indomethacin (200 μM)+RA (1 μM)+forskolin (10 μM) for 14 days. The results were evaluated through morphological observations, viability, proliferation, and migration studies, 24 h, 48 h, and 7 days post-PBM. The protein detection of an early neuronal marker, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and late, ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), was determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). The genetic expression was also explored through real-time PCR. Results indicated differentiation in all experimental groups; however, cells that were preinduced showed higher proliferation and a higher differentiation rate than the group that was not preinduced. Within the preinduced groups, results indicated that cells treated with IT2 and consecutive PBM upregulated differentiation the most morphologically and physiologically.

Abstract
Neuronal differentiation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) is potently promoted by valproic acid (VPA) through a gaseous signaling molecule, nitric oxide (NO). Here, we investigated the involvement of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), another gaseous signaling molecule, in neuronal differentiation of ASCs. VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation of ASCs was accompanied by increased intracellular H2S and sulfane sulfur with increased mRNA expression of enzymes synthesizing sulfane sulfur including cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), of which inhibition reduced the differentiation efficiency. H2S donors, GYY4137 (GYY) or NaHS, potently promoted neuronal differentiation of ASCs when cAMP-elevating agents, dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate and isobutyl methyl-xanthine, were added as neuronal induction medium (NIM). Neuronal differentiation of ASCs promoted by NaHS or GYY was accompanied by Ca2+ entry and increased mRNA expression of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. NaHS or GYY also increased mRNA expression of enzymes of the NO-citrulline cycle including inducible NO synthase (iNOS). It was concluded from these results that H2S potently promoted differentiation of ASCs into neuronal cells expressing functional voltage-gated Ca2+ channels with the aid of cAMP-elevating agents, involving NO-mediated signaling cascade. These effects of H2S were also considered as a partial mechanism for the VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation of ASCs.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells are a continually expanding area in research and clinical applications. Their usefulness and capacity to differentiate into various cells, particularly neural types, has driven the research area for several years. Neural differentiation has considerable usefulness. There are several successful differentiation techniques of mesenchymal stem cells that employ the use of small molecules, growth factors and commercially available kits and supplements. Phenotyping, molecular biology, genomics and proteomics investigation revealed a wealth of data about these cells during neurogenic differentiation. However, there remain large gaps in the knowledge base, particularly related to cytokines and how their role, drive mechanisms and the downstream signalling processes change with their varied expression throughout the differentiation process. In this study, adult mesenchymal stem cells were induced with neurogenic differentiation media, the cellular changes monitored by live-cell microscopy and the changes in cytokine expression in the intracellular region, secretion into the media and in the extracellular vesicle cargo were examined and analysed bioinformatically. Through this analysis, the up-regulation of key cytokines was revealed, and several neuroprotective and neurotrophic roles were displayed. Statistically significant molecules IFN-G, IL1B, IL6, TNF-A, have roles in astrocyte development. Furthermore, the cytokine bioinformatics suggests the Janus Kinase/Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway is upregulated, supporting differentiation toward an astroglial lineage.

Abstract
The differentiation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) to neuronal cells is greatly promoted by valproic acid (VPA), and is synergistically enhanced by the following treatment with neuronal induction medium (NIM) containing cAMP-elevating agents. In the present study, we investigated the synergism between VPA and NIM in neuronal differentiation of ASCs, assessed by the expression of neurofilament medium polypeptide (NeFM), with respect to Ca2+ entry. VPA (2 mM) treatment for 3 days followed by NIM for 2 h synergistically increased the incidence of neuronal cells differentiated from ASCs to an extent more than VPA alone treatment for 6 days, shortening the time required for the differentiation. VPA increased intracellular Ca2+ and the mRNAs of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, Cacna1b (Cav2.2) and Cacna1h (Cav3.2), in ASCs. Inward currents through Ca2+ channels were evoked electrophysiologically at high voltage potential in ASCs treated with VPA. NIM reduced the mRNAs of NeFM and Cacna1b in VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation of ASCs. It was concluded that functional N-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (Cav2.2) are selectively expressed in VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation of ASCs. NIM seems to enhance the mRNA translation of molecules required for the differentiation. Neuronal cells obtained from ASCs by this protocol will be used as a cell source for regenerative therapy of neurological disorders associated with altered Cav2.2 activity.

Abstract
Penile concerns include erectile dysfunction (ED) and Peyronie disease (PD). Restorative therapies including Stem Cell Therapy (SCT) and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are proposed to treat these concerns. SCT encompasses the harvesting and injection of mesenchymal stem cells or stromal vascular fractions from various tissue sources. PRP is derived autologously from a patient's plasma and is then injected into the penile tissue. These therapies repair damaged penile tissue and promote both new cellular and vascular growth, as demonstrated in basic science studies. Human trials on SCT and PRP for both ED and PD and have yielded promising results with few side effects. While encouraging, small cohort size and lack of blinding or placebo control limit these studies' external validity. Recently, the first double-blinded randomized controlled trial on PRP for ED was published, providing significant evidence of efficacy. With the rapid commercial availability of SCT and PRP for ED and PD, it is imperative to perform more randomized and placebo-controlled trials with standardized procedures and preparations to evaluate efficacy and safety. This narrative review will summarize the available literature on these penile restorative therapies to date.

Differentiation of human adult-derived stem cells towards a neural lineage involves a dedifferentiation event prior to differentiation to neural phenotypes. Sci Rep 2021; 11:12034.

Abstract
Although it has been reported that mesenchymal stem cells isolated from adult tissues can be induced to overcome their mesenchymal fate and transdifferentiate into neural cells, the findings and their interpretation have been challenged. The main argument against this process is that the cells rapidly adopt neuron-like morphologies through retraction of the cytoplasm rather than active neurite extension. In this study, we examined the sequence of biological events during neural differentiation of human periodontal ligament-derived stem cells (hPDLSCs), human bone marrow-derived stem cells (hBMSCs) and human dental pulp-derived stem cells (hDPSCs) by time-lapse microscopy. We have demonstrated that hPDLSCs, hBMSCs and hDPSCs can directly differentiate into neuron-like cells without passing through a mitotic stage and that they shrink dramatically and change their morphology to that of neuron-like cells through active neurite extension. Furthermore, we observed micronuclei movement and transient cell nuclei lobulation concurrent to in vitro neurogenesis from hBMSCs and hDPSCs. Our results demonstrate that the differentiation of hPDLSCs, hBMSCs and hDPSCs towards a neural lineage occurs through a dedifferentiation step followed by differentiation to neural phenotypes, and therefore we definitively confirm that the rapid acquisition of the neural phenotype is via a differentiation trait.

Abstract
Significance: Wound healing is a complex process involving pain and inflammation, where innervation plays a central role. Managing wound healing and pain remains an important issue, especially in pathologies such as excessive scarring (often leading to fibrosis) or deficient healing, leading to chronic wounds. Recent Advances: Advances in therapies using mesenchymal stromal cells offer new insights for treating indications that previously lacked options. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AD-MSCs) are now being used to a much greater extent in clinical trials for regenerative medicine. However, to be really valid, these randomized trials must imperatively follow strict guidelines such as consolidated standards of reporting trials (CONSORT) statement. Indeed, AD-MSCs, because of their paracrine activities and multipotency, have potential to cure degenerative and/or inflammatory diseases. Combined with their relatively easy access (from adipose tissue) and proliferation capacity, AD-MSCs represent an excellent candidate for allogeneic treatments. Critical Issues: The success of AD-MSC therapy may depend on the robustness of the biological functions of AD-MSCs, which requires controlling source heterogeneity and production processes, and development of biomarkers that predict desired responses. Several studies have investigated the effect of AD-MSCs on innervation, wound repair, or pain management separately, but systematic evaluation of how those effects could be combined is lacking. Future Directions: Future studies that explore how AD-MSC therapy can be used to treat difficult-to-heal wounds, underlining the need to thoroughly characterize the cells used, and standardization of preparation processes are needed. Finally, how this a priori easy-to-use cell therapy treatment fits into clinical management of pain, improvement of tissue healing, and patient quality of life, all need to be explored.

Abstract
Valproic acid (VPA) remarkably promotes the differentiation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) to mature neuronal cells through nitric oxide (NO) signaling due to up-regulated inducible NO synthase (iNOS) as early as within 3 days. Here, we investigated mechanisms of VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation of ASCs concerning the NO-citrulline cycle, the metabolic cycle producing NO. Cultured rat ASCs were differentiated to mature neuronal cells rich in dendrites and expressing a neuronal marker by treatments with VPA at 2 mM for 3 days and subsequently with the neuronal induction medium for 2 h. Inhibitor (α-methyl-d, l-aspartic acid, MDLA) of arginosuccinate synthase (ASS), a key enzyme of the NO-citrulline cycle, abolishes intracellular NO increase and VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation in ASCs. l-Arginine, the substrate of iNOS, restores the promotion effect of VPA, being against MDLA. Immunocytochemistry showed that ASS and iNOS were increased in ASCs expressing neurofilament medium polypeptide (NeFM), a neuronal marker, by VPA and NIM synergistically. Real-time RT-PCR analysis showed that mRNAs of Ass and arginosuccinate lyase (Asl) in the NO-citrulline cycle were increased by VPA. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay indicated that Ass and Asl were up-regulated by VPA through the acetylation of their associated histone. From these results, it was considered that VPA up-regulated the whole NO-citrulline cycle, which enabled continuous NO production by iNOS in large amounts for potent iNOS-NO signaling to promote neuronal differentiation of ASCs. This may also indicate a mechanism enabling short-lived NO to function conveniently as a potent signaling molecule that can disappear quickly after its role.

Abstract
Human placenta-derived multipotent stem cells (PDMCs) resembling embryonic stem cells can differentiate into three germ layer cells, including ectodermal lineage cells, such as neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. The favorable characteristics of noninvasive cell harvesting include fewer ethical, religious, and legal considerations as well as accessible and limitless supply. Thus, PDMCs are attractive for cell-based therapy. The Schwann cell (SC) is the most common cell type used for tissue engineering such as nerve regeneration. However, the differentiation potential of human PDMCs into SCs has not been demonstrated until now. In this study, we evaluated the potential of PDMCs to differentiate into SC-like cells in a differentiation medium. After induction, PDMCs not only exhibited typical SC spindle-shaped morphology but also expressed SC markers, including S100, GFAP, p75, MBP, and Sox 10, as revealed by immunocytochemistry. Moreover, a reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed the elevated gene expression of S100, GFAP, p75, MBP, Sox-10, and Krox-20 after SC induction. A neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y, was cultured in the conditioned medium (CM) collected from PDMC-differentiated SCs. The growth rate of the SH-SY5Y increased in the CM, indicating the function of PDMC-induced SCs. In conclusion, human PDMCs can be differentiated into SC-like cells and thus are an attractive alternative to SCs for cell-based therapy in the future.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies indicate that obesity negatively affects the progression and treatment of cervical-uterine cancer. Recent evidence shows that a subpopulation of adipose-derived stem cells can alter cancer properties. In the present project, we described for the first time the impact of adipose-derived stem cells over the malignant behavior of cervical cancer cells. The transcriptome of cancer cells cultured in the presence of stem cells was analyzed using RNA-seq. Changes in gene expression were validated using digital-PCR. Bioinformatics tools were used to identify the main transduction pathways disrupted in cancer cells due to the presence of stem cells. In vitro and in vivo assays were conducted to validate cellular and molecular processes altered in cervical cancer cells owing to stem cells. Our results show that the expression of 95 RNAs was altered in cancer cells as a result of adipose-derived stem cells. Experimental assays indicate that stem cells provoke an increment in migration, invasion, angiogenesis, and tumorigenesis of cancer cells; however, no alterations were found in proliferation. Bioinformatics and experimental analyses demonstrated that the NF-kappa B signaling pathway is enriched in cancer cells due to the influence of adipose-derived stem cells. Interestingly, the tumor cells shift their epithelial to a mesenchymal morphology, which was reflected by the increased expression of specific mesenchymal markers. In addition, stem cells also promote a stemness phenotype in the cervical cancer cells. In conclusion, our results suggest that adipose-derived stem cells induce cervical cancer cells to acquire malignant features where NF-kappa B plays a key role.

Abstract
Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC) are adult pluripotent cells and important resources for cell-based therapies of animals. There are presently different kinds of somatic cells used as donor cells for clone successfully. However, studies on somatic cell nuclear transplantation (SCNT) using ADSC as donor cells from Mongolian sheep have not been reported up to now. This study tested optimal methods of isolating, purifying, and proliferating Mongolian sheep ADSC, and determine their multiple differentiation potentiality. Adipose tissue was removed from approximately 2-year-old sheep and ADSC were harvested by pancreatic enzyme decomposition and adherent culture method. The growth curves of the Passages 1, 5, and 10 cultures were plotted and the exponential growth was determined as a population doubling time of 34.1 h. The expression of OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG genes were increased at Passage 3 (P3) as seen by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. ADSC from Passage 3 were induced to undergo neurogenesis and form cardiomyocytes and pancreatic islet-like cells under inductive environments in vitro. The differentiation properties of cardiomyocytes and islet-like cells were confirmed by histological staining with toluidine blue, periodic acid-Schiff, and dithizone. The expression of specific genes in these cells were also detected by RT-PCR. Our study results confirm that isolated cells were indeed ADSC and may provide valuable materials for somatic cell clone and transgenic research.

Abstract
Hand and face transplants are becoming increasingly common, recording progressively more penile, uterus, abdominal wall, and allotransplantation cases reported worldwide. Despite current protocols allow long-term survival of the allografts, the ultimate goal of donor-specific tolerance has not been achieved yet. In fact, the harmful adverse effects related to the lifelong administration of immunosuppressive agents are the main drawbacks for vascularized composite allotransplantations. Research is very active in investigating alternative methods to induce greater tolerance while minimizing toxicity. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) represent promising cell therapies for immunomodulation in preclinical and clinical settings. Their clinical appeal is due to their easy harvest in large quantities through a noninvasive and well-accepted approach; they may well promote donor-specific tolerance and potentially reduce immunosuppression. Several experimental studies exist, but lacking review articles reporting current evidence. This work proposes a literature review on the immunomodulatory role of ASCs in vascularized composite allotransplantations. In vitro and in vivo evidence will be summarized. The role that cell passaging and upstream progenitors-the so-called spheroid ASCs-may play in modulating the immune response will also be discussed. Finally, this article will summarize current knowledge on biodistribution, migration, and homing of injected stem cells. This review may well provide useful information for preclinical and clinical studies, aiming at a breakthrough for donor-specific tolerance.

Abstract
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common and bothersome condition. Anti-incontinence surgery has high cure rates, but concerns about mesh tapes have resulted in the resurgence of surgical procedures that involve increased abdominopelvic dissection and morbidity. Injection therapy with urethral bulking agents or stem cell formulations have been developed as minimally invasive alternatives. Many synthetic and biological bulking agents have been trialled, but several have been discontinued owing to safety concerns. The use of Macroplastique and Contigen has the largest evidence base, but, overall, success rates seem to be similar between the various agents and positive outcomes are poorly sustained for more than 6 months. Furthermore, subjective cure rates, although initially high, also deteriorate over time. The available data consistently demonstrate manifestly poorer outcomes for injection therapies than for surgery. Stem cell treatments are thought to functionally regenerate the urethral sphincter in patients with suspected intrinsic sphincter deficiency. Autologous adipose and muscle-derived stem cells seem to be the intuitive cell source, as they are comparatively abundant, can be harvested and cause minimal donor site morbidity. To date, only a few small clinical studies have been reported and most data are derived from animal models. The success rates of stem cell injection therapies seem to be comparable with those of bulking agents.

Abstract
Valproic acid (VPA) remarkably promotes the differentiation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) to mature neuronal cells, enabling neuronal induction within only three days. Here, we investigated the involvement of NO-signaling in the VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation of ASCs as a possible mechanism. Cultured rat ASCs were differentiated to matured neuronal cells rich in dendrites and expressing βIII-tubulin protein, a neuronal marker, by treatments with VPA at 2 mM for 3 days and subsequently with the neuronal induction medium (NIM) containing cAMP-elevating agents for 2 h. Increased intracellular NO was detected in neuronal cells differentiated from ASCs treated with VPA by a fluorescence NO-specific probe, diaminofluorescein-FM diacetate. However, a NO donor (NOC18) increased the incidence of neuronal cells only to a lesser extent than VPA, indicating the insufficiency of exogenous NO. RT-PCR analysis of ASCs treated with VPA showed increased mRNA expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) with the acetylation of its associated histone H3K9. iNOS inhibitors (1400 W and dexamethasone) or a soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) inhibitor (ODQ) decreased the incidence of neuronal cells differentiated from ASCs treated with VPA. These inhibitors also decreased the mRNA expression of mature neuronal markers, neurofilament medium polypeptide (NeFM) and microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), as well as βIII-tubulin (TUBB3), to various extents. It was considered from these results that VPA promoted mature neuronal differentiation of ASCs through the iNOS-NO-sGC signaling pathway. This provided insights into the regulated neuronal differentiation of ASCs in clinical applications.

Abstract
PURPOSE While imaging matrix-associated stem cell transplants aimed for cartilage repair in a rodent arthritis model, we noticed that some transplants formed locally destructive tumors. The purpose of this study was to determine the cause for this tumor formation in order to avoid this complication for future transplants. PROCEDURES Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) isolated from subcutaneous adipose tissue were implanted into 24 osteochondral defects of the distal femur in ten athymic rats and two immunocompetent control rats. All transplants underwent serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) up to 6 weeks post-transplantation to monitor joint defect repair. Nine transplants showed an increasing size over time that caused local bone destruction (group 1), while 11 transplants in athymic rats (group 2) and 4 transplants in immunocompetent rats did not. We compared the ADSC implant size and growth rate on MR images, macroscopic features, histopathologic features, surface markers, and karyotypes of these presumed neoplastic transplants with non-neoplastic ADSC transplants. RESULTS Implants in group 1 showed a significantly increased two-dimensional area at week 2 (p = 0.0092), 4 (p = 0.003), and 6 (p = 0.0205) compared to week 0, as determined by MRI. Histopathological correlations confirmed neoplastic features in group 1 with significantly increased size, cellularity, mitoses, and cytological atypia compared to group 2. Six transplants in group 1 were identified as malignant chondrosarcomas and three transplants as fibromyxoid sarcomas. Transplants in group 2 and immunocompetent controls exhibited normal cartilage features. Both groups showed a normal ADSC phenotype; however, neoplastic ADSC demonstrated a mixed population of diploid and tetraploid cells without genetic imbalance. CONCLUSIONS ADSC transplants can form tumors in vivo. Preventive actions to avoid in vivo tumor formations may include karyotyping of culture-expanded ADSC before transplantation. In addition, serial imaging of ADSC transplants in vivo may enable early detection of abnormally proliferating cell transplants.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) and adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and their differences in a rat model. MDSCs and ADSC were isolated from rats (n = 10), examined for their properties, and labeled with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and β-galactosidase (β-gal) gene. Rats received bladder-neck and transurethral sphincter injection of EGFP-labeled MDSCs and β-gal gene-labeled ADSC and injection of D-Hanks as a control (n = 24 each group). At 0, 15, 30, and 60 days after cells injection, urinary voiding function was assessed by urine dynamics detector. The rats were killed to harvest their urethras for tracking of MDSCs and ADSC. Western blotting and quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect smooth muscle contents. Urodynamic test showed that MDSCs and ADSC improved the function of urination in rats with intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD), and effect of MDSCs-treatment was more pronounced. In addition, histologic analysis showed that the MDSCs and ADSC-treated groups had significantly higher myosin and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) content than the control group. Compared with ADSC-treated groups, the MDSCs-treated groups in myosin and α-SMA content showed the tendency of increase. In summary, MDSCs and ADSCs have obvious effects in the treatment and/or prevention of ISD and transplantation of MDSCs is more effective than ADSC. © 2018 IUBMB Life, 70(10):976-984, 2018.

Abstract
Globally, the obesity pandemic is profoundly affecting quality of life and economic productivity, but efforts to address this, especially on a pharmacological level, have generally proven unsuccessful to date, serving as a stark demonstration that our understanding of adipocyte biology and pathophysiology is incomplete. To deliver better insight into adipocyte function and obesity, we need improved adipocyte models with a high degree of fidelity in representing the in vivo state and with a diverse range of experimental applications. Adipocyte cell lines, especially 3T3-L1 cells, have been used extensively over many years, but these are limited in terms of relevance and versatility. In this review, I propose that primary adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) present a superior model with which to study adipocyte biology ex vivo. In particular, ASCs afford us the opportunity to study adipocytes from different, functionally distinct, adipose depots and to investigate, by means of in vivo/ex vivo studies, the effects of many different physiological and pathophysiological factors, such as age, body weight, hormonal status, diet and nutraceuticals, as well as disease and pharmacological treatments, on the biology of adipocytes and their precursors. This study will give an overview of the characteristics of ASCs and published studies utilizing ASCs, to highlight the areas where our knowledge is lacking. More comprehensive studies in primary ASCs will contribute to an improved understanding of adipose tissue, in healthy and dysfunctional states, which will enhance our efforts to more successfully manage and treat obesity.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) can differentiate into neurons under particular conditions. It remains largely unknown whether this differentiation potential is affected by physical conditions such as obesity, which modulates the functions of adipose tissue. In this study, we determined the impact of either a 9-week high-fat diet (60% fat; HFD) or 9-week exercise training on the differentiation potential of ADSCs into neuron-like cells in male Wistar rats. Rats were randomly assigned to a normal diet-fed (ND-SED) group, HFD-fed (HFD-SED) group, or exercise-trained HFD-fed group (HFD-EX). After a 9-week intervention, ADSCs from all groups differentiated into neuron-like cells. Expression of neuronal marker proteins (nestin, βIII-tubulin, and microtubule-associated protein 2 [MAP2]) and the average length of cell neurites were lower in cells from HFD-SED rats than in other groups. Instead, protein expression of COX IV and Cyt-c, the Bax/Bcl-2 and LC3-II/I ratio, and the malondialdehyde level in culture medium were higher in cells from HFD-SED rats. No significant difference between ND-SED and HFD-EX rats was observed, except for the average length of cell neurites in MAP2. Thus, HFD impaired the differentiation potential of ADSCs into neuron-like cells, which was accompanied by increases in apoptotic activity and oxidative stress. Importantly, exercise training ameliorated the HFD-induced impairment of neurogenesis in ADSCs. The adipose tissue microenvironment could influence the differentiation potential of ADSCs, a source of autologous stem cell therapy.

Abstract
This study comparatively investigated the effectiveness of calcium and other well-known inducers such as isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) and insulin in differentiating human adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) into neuronal-like cells. ADSCs were immunophenotyped and differentiated into neuron-like cells with different combinations of calcium, IBMX, and insulin. Calcium mobilization across the membrane was determined. Differentiated cells were characterized by cell cycle profiling, staining of Nissl bodies, detecting the gene expression level of markers such as neuronal nuclear antigen (NeuN), microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), doublecortin, synapsin I, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and myelin basic protein (MBP) by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and protein level by the immunofluorescence technique. Treatment with Ca + IBMX + Ins induced neuronal appearance and projection of neurite-like processes in the cells, accompanied with inhibition of proliferation and halt in the cell cycle. A significantly higher expression of MBP, GFAP, NeuN, NSE, synapsin 1, doublecortin, and MAP2 was detected in differentiated cells, confirming the advantages of Ca + IBMX + Ins to the other combinations of inducers. Here, we showed an efficient protocol for neuronal differentiation of ADSCs, and calcium fostered differentiation by augmenting the number of neuron-like cells and instantaneous increase in the expression of neuronal markers.

Abstract
We have explored the role of ginsenoside Rg1 in promoting the differentiation of mouse adipose-derived stem cells (mADSC) towards the neuronal lineage. The central nervous system has long been regarded as incapable of self-repair; therefore neuronal differentiation from stem cells is of great interest. However, the use of embryonic stem cells is limited due to their inaccessibility and for ethical reasons, so the search is on for alternative pluripotent cells capable of differentiating into neuronal cells. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) can differentiate into different cell types, including neuronal cells: their accessibility, low risk, and capacity for long-term growth and self-renewal have made them the preferred stem cell type for clinical applications. Several methods have been indicated for promoting the neuronal differentiation of ADSC, but the mechanism of this process has not been clearly identified. As our previous study showed that microRNA-124 (miRNA-124) plays a positive role in promoting the neural differentiation of ADSC, we wanted to find reagents that can upregulate miRNA-124 expression during neural differentiation.

Abstract
Generation of new β cells is an important approach in the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (type 1 DM). Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) might be one of the best sources for cell replacement therapy for diabetes. Therefore, this work aimed to test the possible role of transplanted insulin-producing cells (IPCs) differentiated from ADSCs in treatment of streptozotocin (STZ) induced type I DM in rats. Type 1 DM was induced by single intra peritoneal injection with STZ (50 mg/kg BW). Half of the diabetic rats were left without treatment and the other half were injected with differentiated IPCs directly into the pancreas. ADSCs were harvested, cultured and identified by testing their phenotypes through flow cytometry. They were further subjected to differentiation into IPCs using differentiation medium. mRNA expression of pancreatic transcription factors (pdx1), insulin and glucose transporter-2 genes by real time PCR was done to detect the cellular differentiation and confirmed by stimulated insulin secretion. The pancreatic tissues from all groups were examined 2 months after IPC transplantation and were subjected to histological, Immunohistochemical and morphometric study. The differentiated IPCs showed significant expression of pancreatic β cell markers and insulin secretion in glucose dependent manner. Treatment with IPCs induced apparent regeneration, diffused proliferated islet cells and significant increase in C-peptide immune reaction. We concluded that transplantation of differentiated IPCs improved function and morphology of Islet cells in diabetic rats. Consequently, this therapy option may be a promising therapeutic approach to patient with type 1 DM if proven to be effective and safe.

Abstract
Notch signaling is a key signaling pathway for cell proliferation and differentiation. Therefore, we formulated a working hypothesis that Notch signaling can be used to detect early osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells. Changes in expression and distribution of Notch 1, 2, 3, and Delta1 in the cytoplasm and nuclei of rat liver-derived mesenchymal stromal cells differentiating into osteoblasts were investigated, together with the displacement of intracellular domains (ICDs) of the receptors. In addition, an oligonucleotide microarray was used to determine the expression of genes known to be linked to selected signaling pathways. Statistically significant changes in the number of cells expressing Notch1, Notch2, and Delta1, but not Notch3, and their activated forms were detected within 24 h of culture under osteogenic conditions. Although the number of cells expressing Notch3 remained unchanged, the number of cells with the activated receptor was significantly elevated. The number of cells positive for Notch3 was higher than that for the other Notch receptors even after 48 h of differentiation; however, a smaller fraction of cells contained activated Notch3. Culture mineralization was detected on day 4 of differentiation, and all analyzed receptors were present in the cells at that time, but only Delta1 was activated in twice as many cells than that before differentiation. Thus, the three analyzed receptors and ligand can serve as markers of very early stages of osteogenesis in stromal cells. These early changes in activation of the Notch signaling pathway were correlated with the transcription of several genes linked to osteogenesis, such as Bmps, Mmps, and Egfr, and with the regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are able to differentiate into neuron-like cells when exposed to small molecule compounds, however the specific differences in their neuronal differentiation abilities remain to be fully elucidated. The present study aimed to compare the neuronal differentiation abilities of BMSCs and ADSCs. BMSCs and ADSCs from the same Sprague Dawley rats were isolated and cultured for use. The proliferation capacity was revealed using a cell counting method. Following BMSCs and ADSCs induction by four types of small-molecular compounds, the expression of various neuronal markers and the secretion of several neurotrophic factors were detected by immunofluorescence, western blotting, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and ELISA. It was demonstrated that the ADSCs exhibited an increased proliferation capacity compared with BMSCs, according to cumulative population doubling analyses. Following a 7-day neuronal induction period, BMSCs and ADSCs exhibited a neuron-like morphology, and were termed neuronal induced (NI)-BMSCs and NI-ADSCs. They expressed neuronal markers including β-tubulin III, microtubule associated protein 2 and choline acetyltransferase. The number of NI-BMSCs that positively expressed the neuronal markers was significantly decreased compared with NI-ADSCs, and the expression and secretion of the neurotrophic factors nerve growth factor and 3′-nucleotidase in NI-BMSCs were additionally decreased compared with NI-ADSCs. The findings of the present study indicated that the neuronal differentiation abilities and neurotrophic factor secretion abilities of ADSCs were increased compared with BMSCs. ADSCs may therefore act as efficient candidates in cell transplantation therapy for diseases and injuries of the nervous system.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Like other fibrotic diseases, the cause of Peyronie's disease (PD) is still obscure. Since there is now increasing evidence for the role of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) as potential treatment to fibrosis, it is crucial to determine their possible efficacy in the treatment of PD. Areas covered: In this review, the authors summarize the emerging data and published studies regarding the use of SCs for the treatment of PD. The authors provide particular focus on the three-first experimental studies for the use of SCs in rat models as well as the sole two studies undertaken in humans. Expert opinion: It seems evident in experimental settings that SCs in general (Adipose Derived SCs in particular) provide a feasible, safe and effective therapy for PD. The potential limits of the rat models used initially have been somewhat overcome with the inception of studies in men. However, further prospective studies are needed in humans to further elucidate the therapeutic potential of stem cell therapy in PD.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of human adipose stem cells derived from the buccal fat pad (hBFP-ASCs) for nerve regeneration. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive death of dopaminergic neurons. PD is a candidate disease for cell replacement therapy because it has no fundamental therapeutic methods. We examined the properties of neural-related cells induced from hBFP-ASCs as a cell source for PD treatment. hBFP-ASCs were cultured in neurogenic differentiation medium for about 2 weeks. After the morphology of hBFP-ASCs changed to neural-like cells, the medium was replaced with neural maintenance medium. Cells differentiated from hBFP-ASCs showed neuron-like structures and expressed neuron markers (β3-tubulin, neurofilament 200, and microtubule-associated protein 2), an astrocyte marker (glial fibrillary acidic protein), or dopaminergic neuron-related marker (tyrosine hydroxylase). Induced neural cells were transplanted into a 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned rat hemi-parkinsonian model. At 4 weeks after transplantation, 6-OHDA-lesioned rats were subjected to apomorphine-induced rotation analysis. The transplanted cells survived in the brain of rats as dopaminergic neural cells. No tumor formation was found after cell transplantation. We demonstrated differentiation of hBFP-ASCs into neural cells, and that transplantation of these neural cells improved the symptoms of model rats. Our results suggest that neurons differentiated from hBFP-ASCs would be applicable to cell replacement therapy of PD.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve regeneration is a complicated process highlighted by Wallerian degeneration, axonal sprouting, and remyelination. Schwann cells play an integral role in multiple facets of nerve regeneration but obtaining Schwann cells for cell-based therapy is limited by the invasive nature of harvesting and donor site morbidity. Stem cell transplantation for peripheral nerve regeneration offers an alternative cell-based therapy with several regenerative benefits. Stem cells have the potential to differentiate into Schwann-like cells that recruit macrophages for removal of cellular debris. They also can secrete neurotrophic factors to promote axonal growth, and remyelination. Currently, various types of stem cell sources are being investigated for their application to peripheral nerve regeneration. This review highlights studies involving the stem cell types, the mechanisms of their action, methods of delivery to the injury site, and relevant pre-clinical or clinical data. The purpose of this article is to review the current point of view on the application of stem cell based strategy for peripheral nerve regeneration.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Schwann-like (SC-like) cells induced from adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) may be one of the ideal alternative cell sources for obtaining Schwann cells (SCs). They can be used for treating peripheral nerve injuries. Co-culture with SCs or exposure to glial growth factors are commonly used for differentiation of ASCs to SC-like cells. However, the effect of initial cell density as an inductive factor on the differentiation potential of ASCs into the SC-like cells has not been yet investigated. Methods and Results ASCs were harvested from rat and characterized. The cells were seeded into the culture flasks at three different initial cell densities i.e. 2×103, 4×103 and 8×103 cells/cm2 an overnight and differentiated toward SC-like cells using glial growth factors. After two weeks, the differentiation rate of ASCs to SC-like cells at different densities was assessed by immunofluorescence, fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis and real time RT-PCR. Expression of the typical SCs markers, S-100 proteins and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) protein, was observed in all cell densities groups although the number of S100-positive and GFAP-positive cells, and the expression of p75NTR mRNA, another SC marker, were significantly higher at the density of 8×103 cells/cm2 when compared with the other cell densities groups (p<0.001). Conclusions The results suggest that the higher differentiation rate of ASCs to SC-like cells can be obtained at initial cell density of 8×103 cells/cm2, possibly via increased cell-cell interaction and cell density-dependent influence of glial growth factors.

Abstract
Obesity affects the functional capability of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and their effective use in regenerative medicine through mechanisms that are still poorly understood. In the present study we used a multiplatform [LC/MS, GC/MS and capillary electrophoresis/MS (CE/MS)], metabolomics, untargeted approach to investigate the metabolic alteration underlying the inequalities observed in obesity-derived ASCs. The metabolic fingerprint (metabolites within the cells) and footprint (metabolites secreted in the culture medium), from obesity- and non-obesity-derived ASCs of humans or mice, were characterized to provide valuable information. Metabolites associated with glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, the pentose phosphate pathway and the polyol pathway were increased in the footprint of obesity-derived human ASCs, indicating alterations in carbohydrate metabolism, whereas, from the murine model, deep differences in lipid and amino acid catabolism were highlighted. Therefore, new insights on the ASCs' metabolome were provided that enhance our understanding of the processes underlying ASCs' stemness capacity and its relationship with obesity, in different cell models.

Abstract
Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) can differentiate into various cell types depending on chemical and topographical cues. One topographical cue recently noted to be successful in inducing differentiation is the nanoengineered polystyrene surface containing nanopore array-patterned substrate (NP substrate), which is designed to mimic the nanoscale topographical features of the extracellular matrix. In this study, efficacies of NP and flat substrates in inducing neural differentiation of hADSCs were examined by comparing their substrate-cell adhesion rates, filopodia growth, nuclei elongation, and expression of neural-specific markers. The polystyrene nano Petri dishes containing NP substrates were fabricated by a nano injection molding process using a nickel electroformed nano-mold insert (Diameter: 200 nm. Depth of pore: 500 nm. Center-to-center distance: 500 nm). Cytoskeleton and filopodia structures were observed by scanning electron microscopy and F-actin staining, while cell adhesion was tested by vinculin staining after 24 and 48 h of seeding. Expression of neural specific markers was examined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunocytochemistry. Results showed that NP substrates lead to greater substrate-cell adhesion, filopodia growth, nuclei elongation, and expression of neural specific markers compared to flat substrates. These results not only show the advantages of NP substrates, but they also suggest that further study into cell-substrate interactions may yield great benefits for biomaterial engineering.

Cellular Prion Protein Promotes Neuronal Differentiation of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells by Upregulating miRNA-124. J Mol Neurosci 2016; 59:48-55.

Abstract
The cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) is a highly conserved glycoprotein anchored by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) to the cell surface and is also the source of pathogenic agent of scrapie prion protein (PrP(Sc)). Numerous researches have suggested putative physiological roles for PrP(C), including protection from ischemic and excitotoxic lesions, and participation in cell signaling and differentiation. Here, we demonstrated that PrP(C) positively regulates neuronal differentiation of mouse adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). The small C-terminal domain phosphatase 1 (SCP1) expression was knocked down by gene silencing. The mRNA expression of miRNA-124 and PrP(C) was measured with quantitative PCR. Western blot analysis was used to detect the protein levels of nestin, βIII-tubulin, and SCP1, and dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to test the target of miRNA-124. The expression level of PrP(C) was found to increase steadily during neuron-like differentiation process, and PrP(C) knockout resulted in the reduction of neuron-like cell markers. We further showed that miRNA-124 could directly target SCP1-3'-untranslated region to decrease small C-terminal domain phosphatase 1 (SCP1) SCP1, and that miRNA-124 expression is regulated by PrP(C). Our results suggest that PrP(C) may play a key role in the neuronal differentiation of ADSC through modulating miRNA-124-SCP1 axis. To date, this is the first time strong evidence for the involvement of PrP(C) in the neuronal differentiation of ADSC is reported.

Abstract
Since the discovery of adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) in human adipose tissue nearly 15 years ago, significant advances have been made in progressing this promising cell therapy tool from the laboratory bench to bedside usage. Standardization of nomenclature around the different cell types used is finally being adopted, which facilitates comparison of results between research groups. In vitro studies have assessed the ability of ASC to undergo mesenchymal differentiation as well as differentiation along alternate lineages (transdifferentiation). Recently, focus has shifted to the immune modulatory and paracrine effects of transplanted ASC, with growing interest in the ASC secretome as a source of clinical effect. Bedside use of ASC is advancing alongside basic research. An increasing number of safety-focused Phase I and Phase IIb trials have been published without identifying any significant risks or adverse events in the short term. Phase III trials to assess efficacy are currently underway. In many countries, regulatory frameworks are being developed to monitor their use and assure their safety. As many trials rely on ASC injected at a distant site from the area of clinical need, strategies to improve the homing and efficacy of transplanted cells are also being explored. This review highlights each of these aspects of the bench-to-bedside use of ASC and summarizes their clinical utility across a variety of medical specialties.

Abstract
The aim of the present research was to trace CD34+ stromal fibroblastic cells (CD34+ SFCs) in the palatal connective tissue harvested for muco-gingival surgical procedures and in granulation tissues from periodontal pockets using immunohistochemical and transmission electron microscopy. Immunohistochemical analysis targeted the presence of three antigens: CD31, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and CD34. In the palate, CD31 staining revealed a colored inner ring of the vessels representing the endothelium, α-SMA+ was located in the medial layer of the vasculature, and CD34 was intensely expressed by endothelial cells and artery adventitial cells (considered to be CD34+ SFCs). Granulation tissue showed the same pattern for CD31+ and α-SMA, but a different staining pattern for CD34. Ultrastructural examination of the palatal tissue highlighted perivascular cells with fibroblast-like characteristics and pericytes in close spatial relationship to endothelial cells. The ultrastructural evaluation of granulation tissue sections confirmed the presence of neovasculature and the inflammatory nature of this tissue. The present study traced the presence of CD34+ SFCs and of pericytes in the palatal connective tissue thus highlighting once more its intrinsic regenerative capabilities. The clinical and systemic factors triggering mobilization and influencing the fate of local CD34+SCFs and other progenitors are issues to be further investigated.

Abstract
β-mercaptoethanol can induce adult adipose-derived stromal cells to rapidly and efficiently differentiate into typical neuron-like cells in vitro. Immunohistochemistry showed that neuron specific enolase and neurofilament-200 expression gradually increased with the extension of induction time, and peaked at 5 hours. By contrast, glial fibrillary acidic protein was negatively expressed at all time points. Induced cells possessed a typical Nissl body, apoptosis showing condensed chromatin in the nucleus, autophagosomes with a bilayered membrane and autolysosomes in the cytoplasm at 5 hours. TUNEL assay and immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence demonstrated that apoptosis and caspase-3 expression increased and peaked at 8 hours. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence showed that microtubuleassociated protein light chain 3 gradually increased with induction and reached a peak at 5 hours. These results indicate that autophagy played an important role in protecting cells during adult adipose-derived stromal cells differentiation into neuron-like cells in vitro.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tissue-engineered prepuce scaffold (TEPS) is a collagen-rich matrix with marvelous mechanical properties, promoting in vivo and in vitro tissue regeneration. In this study, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) were used to seed TEPS for bladder wall regeneration. Its potential in comparison with other materials such as polyglycolic acid (PGA) and nanofibrous scaffolds were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rat ADMSCs were cultured and seeded into prepared TEPS. A synthetic matrix of electrospun nanofibrous polyamide was also prepared. Sprague Dawley rats (n=32) underwent bladder wall regeneration using (a) TEPS, (b) TEPS+PGA, (c) TEPS+nanofibrous scaffold, and (d) ADMSC-seeded TEPS, between bladder mucosa and seromuscular layer. Animals were followed for 30 and 90 days post implantation for evaluation of bladder wall regeneration by determining CD31/34 and SMC α-actin. Cystometric evaluation was also performed in all groups and in four separate rats as sham controls 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS Histopathological analysis showed well-organized muscular wall generation in ADMSC-seeded TEPS and TEPS+three-dimensional (3D) nanofibrous scaffold without significant fibrosis after 90 days, while mild to severe fibrosis was detected in groups receiving TEPS and TEPS+PGA. Immunohistochemistry staining revealed the maintenance of CD34+, CD31+, and α-SMA in ADMSC-seeded TEPS and TEPS+3D nanofibrous scaffold with significantly higher density of CD34+ and CD31+ progenitor cells in ADMSC-seeded TEPS and TEPS+3D nanofibrous scaffold, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This work has crucial functional and clinical implications, as it demonstrates the feasibility of ADMSC-seeded TEPS in enhancing the properties of TEPS in terms of bladder wall regeneration.
