Signal Transduct Target Ther 2024; 9:242. [PMID: 39271680 PMCID: PMC11399464 DOI: 10.1038/s41392-024-01936-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Over the past two decades, mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) therapy has made substantial strides, transitioning from experimental clinical applications to commercial products. MSC therapies hold considerable promise for treating refractory and critical conditions such as acute graft-versus-host disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Despite recent successes in clinical and commercial applications, MSC therapy still faces challenges when used as a commercial product. Current detection methods have limitations, leaving the dynamic biodistribution, persistence in injured tissues, and ultimate fate of MSCs in patients unclear. Clarifying the relationship between the pharmacokinetic characteristics of MSCs and their therapeutic effects is crucial for patient stratification and the formulation of precise therapeutic regimens. Moreover, the development of advanced imaging and tracking technologies is essential to address these clinical challenges. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the kinetic properties, key regulatory molecules, different fates, and detection methods relevant to MSCs and discusses concerns in evaluating MSC druggability from the perspective of integrating pharmacokinetics and efficacy. A better understanding of these challenges could improve MSC clinical efficacy and speed up the introduction of MSC therapy products to the market.

Abstract
In conventional bone tissue engineering, cells are seeded onto scaffolds to create three-dimensional (3D) tissues, but the cells on the scaffolds are unable to effectively perform their physiological functions due to their low density and viability. Cell sheet (CS) engineering is expected to be free from this limitation. CS engineering uses the principles of self-assembly and self-organization of endothelial and mesenchymal stem cells to prepare CSs as building blocks for engineering bone grafts. This process recapitulates the native tissue development, thus attracting significant attention in the field of bone regeneration. However, the method is still in the prebasic experimental stage in bone defect repair. To make the method clinically applicable and valuable in personalized and precision medicine, current research is focused on the preparation of multifunctionalized building blocks using CS technologies, such as 3D layered CSs containing microvascular structures. Considering the great potential of CS engineering in repairing bone defects, in this review, the types of cell technologies are first outlined. We then summarize the various types of CSs as building blocks for engineering bone grafts. Furthermore, the specific applications of CSs in bone repair are discussed. Finally, we present specific suggestions for accelerating the application of CS engineering in the clinical treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Herein, we validated novel functionalized hybrid semiconductor bioconjugates made of fluorescent quantum dots (QD) with the surface capped by chitosan (polysaccharide) and chemically modified with O-phospho-L-serine (OPS) that are biocompatible with different human cell sources. The conjugation with a directing signaling molecule (OPS) allows preferential accumulation in human bone mesenchymal stromal cells (HBMSC). The chitosan (Chi) shell with the fluorescent CdS core was characterized by spectroscopical (UV spectrophotometry and photoluminescence), by morphological techniques (Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)) and showed small size (ø 2.3 nm) and a stable photoluminescence emission band. The in vitro biocompatibility results were not dependent on the polysaccharide chain length (Chi with higher and lower molecular weight) but were remarkably affected by the surface modification (Chi or Chi-OPS). In addition, the efficiency of nanoparticles uptake by the cells was dependent on cells nature (human primary cells or cell lines) and tissue source (bone or skin) in the presence or absence of the OPS modification. The complex cellular uptake pathways involved in the cell labeling with the nanoparticles do not interfere on the normal cellular biology (adhesion and proliferation), osteogenic differentiation, and gene expression. The bone cells particles uptake evaluation showed a possible pathway by Caveolin-1 that regulates cell transduction in the membrane’s Caveolae. Caveolae mediates non-specific endocytosis, and it is upregulated in HBMSC. The OPS-modified nanoparticles promoted an intense intracellular trafficking by the HBMSCs that showed late-osteoblast phenotype with an increase of extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization (Alizarin red and Von Kossa staining for calcium phosphate crystals). In this work, the OPS modified bioconjugated QD proved to be a reliable and stable fluorescent bioprobe for cell imaging and targeting research that could also help in clarifying some cellular mechanisms of particles intracellular traffic through the cytoplasmic membrane and osteogenic differentiation induction. The in vitro HBMSC’s biocompatibility responses indicated that the OPS-modified chitosan QDs have a prospective future in laboratory and pre-clinical applications such as bioimaging analysis and for ex-vivo cellular evaluation of biomedical implants.

Abstract
The fate of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is regulated by biological, physical and chemical signals. Developments in biotechnology and materials science promoted the occurrence of bioactive materials which can provide physical and chemical signals for MSCs to regulate their fate. In order to design and synthesize materials that can precisely regulate the fate of MSCs, the relationship between the properties of materials and the fate of mesenchymal stem cells need to be clarified, in which the detection of the fate of mesenchymal stem cells plays an important role. In the past 30 years, a series of detection technologies have been developed to detect the fate of MSCs regulated by bioactive materials, among which high-throughput technology has shown great advantages due to its ability to detect large amounts of data at one time. In this review, the latest research progresses of detecting the fate of MSCs regulated by bone bioactive materials (BBMs) are systematically reviewed from traditional technology to high-throughput technology which is emphasized especially. Moreover, current problems and the future development direction of detection technologies of the MSCs fate regulated by BBMs are prospected. The aim of this review is to provide a detection technical framework for researchers to establish the relationship between the properties of BMMs and the fate of MSCs, so as to help researchers to design and synthesize BBMs better which can precisely regulate the fate of MSCs.

Abstract
Recently, mesenchymal stromal stem cells (MSCs) have been proposed as therapeutic agents because of their promising preclinical features and good safety profile. However, their introduction into clinical practice has been associated with a suboptimal therapeutic profile. In this review, we address the biodistribution of MSCs in preclinical studies with a focus on the current understanding of the pharmacodynamics (PD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) of MSCs as key aspects to overcome unsatisfactory clinical benefits of MSC application. Beginning with evidence of MSC biodistribution and highlighting PK and PD factors, a new PK-PD model is also proposed. According to this theory, MSCs and their released factors are key players in PK, and the efficacy biomarkers are considered relevant for PD in more predictive preclinical investigations. Accounting for the PK-PD relationship in MSC translational research and proposing new models combined with better biodistribution studies could allow realization of the promise of more robust MSC clinical translation.

Abstract
Mitochondria take part in a network of cellular processes that regulate cell homeostasis. Defects in mitochondrial function are key pathophysiological changes during acute kidney injury (AKI). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown promising regenerative effects in experimental AKI models, but the specific mechanism is still unclear. Some studies have demonstrated that MSCs are able to target mitochondrial dysfunction during AKI. In this review, we summarize these articles, providing an integral and updated view of MSC therapy targeting mitochondrial dysfunction during AKI, which is aimed at promoting the therapeutic effect of MSCs in AKI patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Indium-111 when formulated as indium-111 oxine remains the gold standard for long term cell tracking, whereas radiometals for improved PET applications still have to be established. We here describe the on-cartridge formation of gallium-68, zirconium-89 and copper-64 complexes in small volumes suitable for cell labelling, including labelling of red blood cells (RBC) and white blood cells (WBC) and their biological evaluation in vivo. METHODS Small volumes (1-2 mL) of tracers (oxine, tropolone) were directly prepared on an anion exchange cartridge (Sep-Pak QMA). Cells were radiolabelled and the labelling efficiency and efflux were evaluated. The in vivo biodistribution of copper-64-labelled WBC using [64Cu][Cu(oxinate)2] and [64Cu][Cu(tropolonate)2] was monitored in an infection and inflammation animal model using BALB/c mice. RESULTS On-cartridge concentration of gallium-68, zirconium-89 and copper-64 enabled formation of oxine and tropolone tracers in small volumes with good yields (≥50%) and quality (extraction ≥90%). Prepared tracers radiolabelled the RBC comparable to indium-111 tracers and in vivo biodistribution of copper-64 labelled WBC showed clear accumulation of cells at the site of infection and inflammation. CONCLUSIONS This on-cartridge preparation method enables simple formation of various PET tracers for cell radiolabelling. Zirconium-89 and copper-64 tracers radiolabelled cells with sufficient stability. Due to their longer half-life this approach could be promising for routine applications where longer evaluation periods for cell tracking are needed. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PATIENT CARE This novel approach for on-cartridge concentration and preparation of oxine and tropolone precursors with different positron emitters, in small volume and suitable pH, offers a versatile tool towards cell labelling for preclinical and clinical PET applications.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used for the treatment of various human diseases. To better understand the mechanism of this action and the fate of these cells, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used for the tracking of transplanted stem cells. Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) have been demonstrated to have the ability of labeling cells to visualize them as an effective MRI contrast agent. In this study, we aimed to investigate the efficiency and biological effects of labeled MSCs using PBNPs. We first synthesized and characterized the PBNPs. Then, iCELLigence real-time cell analysis system revealed that PBNPs did not significantly alter cell viability, proliferation, and migration activity in PBNP-labeled MSCs. Oil Red O staining and Alizarin Red staining revealed that labeled MSCs also have a normal differentiation capacity. Phalloidin staining showed no negative effect of PBNPs on the cytoskeleton. Western blot analysis indicated that PBNPs also did not change the expression of β-catenin and vimentin of MSCs. In vitro MRI, the pellets of the MSCs incubated with PBNPs showed a clear MRI signal darkening effect. In conclusion, PBNPs can be effectively used for the labeling of MSCs and will not influence the biological characteristics of MSCs.

Core decompression is a surgical procedure that is capable of salvaging the patient's own natural joint, if the operation is performed in the early stages of osteonecrosis, in which the articular surface has not collapsed. The addition of concentrated cells, aspirated from the iliac crest, to the core tract has been shown to enhance the viability of the femoral head, although large, prospective, randomized, blinded multicentre studies are lacking. The rationale for adding these cells to the core decompression tract is to provide osteoprogenitor and vascular progenitor cells to the area of decompressed dead bone, in order to facilitate tissue regeneration and repair. It has become increasingly evident that vast discrepancies exist in different series in regard to the criteria for patient selection, the surgical technique of core decompression, the methods for harvesting, processing, and injecting the cells, and the methodology for determining success or failure in a specific patient cohort. This paper reviews the salient points relevant to the treatment of osteonecrosis by core decompression with addition of concentrated iliac crest aspirates and poses important questions regarding the future successful application of this technique.

Abstract
Bioluminescence (BL) is a spectacular phenomenon involving light emission by live organisms. It is caused by the oxidation of a small organic molecule, luciferin, with molecular oxygen, which is catalysed by the enzyme luciferase. In nature, there are approximately 30 different BL systems, of which only 9 have been studied to various degrees in terms of their reaction mechanisms. A vast range of in vitro and in vivo analytical techniques have been developed based on BL, including tests for different analytes, immunoassays, gene expression assays, drug screening, bioimaging of live organisms, cancer studies, the investigation of infectious diseases and environmental monitoring. This review aims to cover the major existing applications for bioluminescence in the context of the diversity of luciferases and their substrates, luciferins. Particularly, the properties and applications of d-luciferin, coelenterazine, bacterial, Cypridina and dinoflagellate luciferins and their analogues along with their corresponding luciferases are described. Finally, four other rarely studied bioluminescent systems (those of limpet Latia, earthworms Diplocardia and Fridericia and higher fungi), which are promising for future use, are also discussed.

Abstract
The combination of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) sheets and titanium implants (BMSC sheet-implant complexes) can accelerate osseointegration. However, methods of fabricating BMSC sheet-implant complexes are quite limited, and the survival of BMSC sheet-implant complexes is one of the key barriers. Here, we show that a light-controlled fabricating system can generate less injured BMSC sheet-implant complexes with improved viability and osteogenesis and that noninvasive monitoring of the viability of BMSC sheet-implant complexes using a lentiviral delivery system is feasible. Enhanced green fluorescent protein- and luciferase-expressing BMSC sheets were used to track the viability of BMSC sheet-implant complexes in vivo. The experiments of micro-computed tomography analysis and hard tissue slices were performed to evaluate the osteogenic ability of BMSC sheet-implant complexes in vivo. The results showed that BMSC sheet-implant complexes survived for almost 1 month after implantation. Notably, BMSC sheet-implant complexes fabricated by the light-controlled fabricating system had upregulating expression levels of low-density lipoprotein-receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5), β-catenin, and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) compared to the complexes fabricated by mechanical scraping. Furthermore, we found that Runx2 directly bound to the rat LRP5 promoter and the LRP5/β-catenin/Runx2 regulatory loop contributed to the enhancement of the osseointegrating potentials. In this study, we successfully fabricated BMSC sheet-implant complexes with improved viability and osteogenesis and established a feasible, noninvasive, and continuous method for tracking BMSC sheet-implant complexes in vivo. Our findings lay the foundation for the application of BMSC sheet-implant complexes in vivo and open new avenues for engineered BMSC sheet-implant complexes.

Abstract
Aim: Rapid and efficient magnetization of human bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) through functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNP). Methods: MNP were functionalized with poly(epsilon-lysine) dendrons exposing carboxybetaine residue (CB-MNP) to enhance binding to the cellular glycocalix. BMSC were incubated with CB-MNP or non-functionalized PAA-MNP for 5–30 min in suspension. Results: CB-MNP functionalization increased the magnetization efficiency by threefold. Remarkably, 66% of cells were magnetized after only 5 min and the maximum efficiency of >80% was reached by 15 min. BMSC viability, proliferation and differentiation were not impaired: actually, adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation were even improved. Conclusion: Carboxybetaine-dendron functionalization ensured rapid and efficient BMSC magnetization and allowed innovative suspension labeling, with a potential for bypassing adhesion culture of progenitors for regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The therapeutic action of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) against acute kidney injury (AKI) has been demonstrated by several groups. However, how to further enhance the renoprotective effect of UC-MSCs and improve the therapy effect, are still unclear. In this study, we mainly investigated whether insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)-modified UC-MSCs hold an enhanced protective effect on gentamicin-induced AKI in vivo. Our results indicated that the IGF-1 overexpression could enhance the therapeutic action of human UC-MSCs, and the AKI rats treated with IGF-1-overexpressed UC-MSCs (UC-MSCs-IGF-1) showed better recovery of biochemical variables in serum or urine associated with renal function, histological injury and renal apoptosis, compared with AKI rats treated with normal UC-MSCs. RNA microarray analysis indicated that some key genes in the signal pathways associated with anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, and cell migratory capacity were up-regulated in UC-MSCs-IGF-1, and the results were further confirmed with qPCR. Furthermore, a series of detection in vitro and in vivo indicated that the UC-MSCs-IGF-1 hold better anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, and cell migratory capacity for IGF-1 overexpression. Thus, our study indicated that enhancement of UC-MSCs bioactivities with IGF-1 overexpression could increase the UC-MSCs therapeutic potential and further developed a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of AKI.

Abstract
The interaction of hyaluronan (HA) with mesenchymal progenitor cells impacts trafficking and fate after tissue colonization during wound repair and these events contribute to diseases such as cancer. How this interaction occurs is poorly understood. Using 10T½ cells as a mesenchymal progenitor model and fluorescent (F-HA) or gold-labeled HA (G-HA) polymers, we studied the role of two HA receptors, RHAMM and CD44, in HA binding and uptake in non-adherent and adherent mesenchymal progenitor (10T½) cells to mimic aspects of cell trafficking and tissue colonization. We show that fluorescent labeled HA (F-HA) binding/uptake was high in non-adherent cells but dropped over time as cells became increasingly adherent. Non-adherent cells displayed both CD44 and RHAMM but only function-blocking anti-RHAMM and not anti-CD44 antibodies significantly reduced F-HA binding/uptake. Adherent cells, which also expressed CD44 and RHAMM, primarily utilized CD44 to bind to F-HA since anti-CD44 but not anti-RHAMM antibodies blocked F-HA uptake. RHAMM overexpression in adherent 10T½ cells led to increased F-HA uptake but this increased binding remained CD44 dependent. Further studies showed that RHAMM-transfection increased CD44 mRNA and protein expression while blocking RHAMM function reduced expression. Collectively, these results suggest that cellular microenvironments in which these receptors function as HA binding proteins differ significantly, and that RHAMM plays at least two roles in F-HA binding by acting as an HA receptor in non-attached cells and by regulating CD44 expression and display in attached cells. Our findings demonstrate adhesion-dependent mechanisms governing HA binding/ uptake that may impact development of new mesenchymal cell-based therapies.

Current Perspectives in Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Therapies for Airway Tissue Defects. Stem Cells Int 2015; 2015:746392.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death and respiratory diseases are the third cause of death in industrialized countries; for this reason the airways and cardiopulmonary system have been the focus of extensive investigation, in particular of the new emerging branch of regenerative medicine. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a population of undifferentiated multipotent adult cells that naturally reside within the human body, which can differentiate into osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic lineages when cultured in specific inducing media. MSCs have the ability to migrate and engraft at sites of inflammation and injury in response to cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors at a wound site and they can exert local reparative effects through transdifferentiation and differentiation into specific cell types or via the paracrine secretion of soluble factors with anti-inflammatory and wound-healing activities. Experimental and clinical evidence exists regarding MSCs efficacy in airway defects restoration; although clinical MSCs use, in the daily practice, is not yet completely reached for airway diseases, we can argue that MSCs do not represent any more merely an experimental approach to airway tissue defects restoration but they can be considered as a “salvage” therapeutic tool in very selected patients and diseases.
