Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2024; 86:4463-4474. [PMID: 39118771 PMCID: PMC11305806 DOI: 10.1097/ms9.0000000000002249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the role of acellular amniotic membrane (AAM) loaded with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) for the treatment of intrauterine adhesion. Methods One hundred twenty female Spargue-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham operation group (the uterus was picked out and incised without treatment), intrauterine adhesion group, the experimental group treated with AAM, and experimental group treated with AAM loaded with ADSCs. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis were performed on 3, 7, and 14 days after surgery to evaluate the degree of uterine fibrosis and regeneration of injured endometrium. RNA sequencing and real-time PCR were used to explore the potential mechanism by which ADSCs modulated immune response and promoted endometrial regeneration. Results On 14 days after surgery, the endometrial thickness, number of glands, and degree of fibrosis reduction in the ADSCs/AAM group was higher than those in the AAM group, and similar to the sham operation group. RNA sequencing analysis showed that ADSCs can modulate local immune responses and promote the formation of functional endometrium. Meanwhile, we found that ADSCs significantly decreased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) and increased the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines (bFGF and IL-6). Conclusion Our results demonstrated that AAM loaded with ADSCs can result in the regeneration of injured endometrium and fibrosis reduction. Meanwhile, ADSCs also regulated the immune microenvironment, which was beneficial to functional endometrial recovery.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function. The aims of this work were to compare chemically and physically processed human Amniotic Membranes (hAM) and analyze the cytocompatibility and proliferation rate (PR) of two primary human mesenchymal stromal cell lines, from different sources and donor conditions seeded over these scaffolds. The evaluated hAM processes were: cold shock to obtain a frozen amniotic membrane (FEAM) with remaining dead epithelial cells, denudation of hAM with trypsin for 20/10 min (DEAM20/10) or treatment with sodium dodecyl sulfate to decellularized hAM (DAM). All samples were sterilized with gamma radiation. The selection of the treated hAM to then generate composites was performed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and characterization by X-ray diffraction, selecting DEAM10 and FEAM as scaffolds for cell seeding. Two sources of primary human stromal cells were used, both developed by our researchers, human Dental Pulp Stem Cells (hDPSC) from living donors and human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (hMSC) from bone marrow isolated from brain dead donors. This last line of cells conveys a novel source of human cells that, to our knowledge, have not been tested as part of this type of construct. We developed four in vitro constructs without cytotoxicity signs and with different PR depending on the scaffolds and cells. hDPSC and hMSC grew over both FEAM and DEAM10, but DEAM10 allowed higher PR.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Current therapeutic approaches suffer significant side effects and lack of clear understanding of their molecular targets. Recent studies reported the anticancer effects, immunomodulatory properties, and antiangiogenic effects of the human amniotic membrane (hAM). hAM is a transparent protective membrane that surrounds the fetus. Preclinical studies showed pro-apoptotic and antiproliferative properties of hAM treatment on cancer cells. Herein, we present the latest findings of the application of the hAM in combating HCC tumorigenesis and the underlying molecular pathogenies and the role of transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ), P53, WNT/beta-catenin, and PI3K/AKT pathways. The emerging clinical applications of hAM in cancer therapy provide evidence for its diverse and unique features and suitability for the management of a wide range of pathological conditions.

Abstract
Human acellular amniotic membrane (HAAM) has emerged as a promising tool in the field of regenerative medicine, particularly for wound healing and tissue regeneration. HAAM provides a natural biological scaffold with low immunogenicity and good anti-infective and anti-scarring results. Despite its potential, the clinic application of HAAM faces challenges, particularly with respect to the preparation methods and its low mechanical strength. This review provides a comprehensive overview of HAAM, covering its preparation, sterilization, preclinical research, and clinical applications. This review also discusses promising decellularization and sterilization methods, such as Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SC-CO2), and the need for further research into the regenerative mechanisms of HAAM. In addition, we discuss the potential of HAAM as a skin dressing and cell delivery system in preclinical research and clinical applications. Both the safety and effectiveness of HAAM have been validated by extensive research, which provides a robust foundation for its clinical application.

Abstract
The developing fetus is wrapped by a human amniotic membrane or amnion. Amnion is a promising human tissue allograft in clinical application because of its chemical composition, collagen-based, and mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix. In addition, amnion contains cells and growth factors; therefore, meets the essential parameters of tissue engineering. No donor morbidity, easy processing and storage, fewer ethical issue, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and non-immunogenic properties are other advantages of amnion usage. For these reasons, amnion can resolve some bottlenecks in the regenerative medicine issues such as tissue engineering and cell therapy. Over the last decades, biomedical applications of amnion have evolved from a simple sheet for skin or cornea repair to high-technology applications such as amnion nanocomposite, powder, or hydrogel for the regeneration of cartilage, muscle, tendon, and heart. Furthermore, amnion has anticancer as well as drug/cell delivery capacity. This review highlights various ancient and new applications of amnion in research and clinical applications, from regenerative medicine to cancer therapy, focusing on articles published during the last decade that also revealed information regarding amnion-based products. Challenges and future perspectives of the amnion in regenerative medicine are also discussed.

Abstract
Amniotic membrane (AM) is a naturally derived biomaterial with biological and mechanical properties important to Ophthalmology. The epithelial side of the AM promotes epithelialization, while the stromal side regulates inflammation. However, not all AMs are equal. AMs undergo different processing with resultant changes in cellular content and structure. This study evaluates the effects of sidedness and processing on human corneal epithelial cell (HCEC) activity, the effect of processing on HCEC inflammatory response, and then a case study is presented. Three differently processed, commercially available ocular AMs were selected: (1) Biovance®3L Ocular, a decellularized, dehydrated human AM (DDHAM), (2) AMBIO2®, a dehydrated human AM (DHAM), and (3) AmnioGraft®, a cryopreserved human AM (CHAM). HCECs were seeded onto the AMs and incubated for 1, 4 and 7 days. Cell adhesion and viability were evaluated using alamarBlue assay. HCEC migration was evaluated using a scratch wound assay. An inflammatory response was induced by TNF-α treatment. The effect of AM on the expression of pro-inflammatory genes in HCECs was compared using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Staining confirmed complete decellularization and the absence of nuclei in DDHAM. HCEC activity was best supported on the stromal side of DDHAM. Under inflammatory stimulation, DDHAM promoted a higher initial inflammatory response with a declining trend across time. Clinically, DDHAM was used to successfully treat anterior basement membrane dystrophy. Compared with DHAM and CHAM, DDHAM had significant positive effects on the cellular activities of HCECs in vitro, which may suggest greater ocular cell compatibility in vivo.

Abstract
![]()
Advancements in the field of tissue engineering have
led to the
elucidation of physical and chemical characteristics of physiological
basement membranes (BM) as specialized forms of the extracellular
matrix. Efforts to recapitulate the intricate structure and biological
composition of the BM have encountered various advancements due to
its impact on cell fate, function, and regulation. More attention
has been paid to synthesizing biocompatible and biofunctional fibrillar
scaffolds that closely mimic the natural BM. Specific modifications
in biomimetic BM have paved the way for the development of in vitro models like alveolar-capillary barrier, airway
models, skin, blood-brain barrier, kidney barrier, and metastatic
models, which can be used for personalized drug screening, understanding
physiological and pathological pathways, and tissue implants. In this
Review, we focus on the structure, composition, and functions of in vivo BM and the ongoing efforts to mimic it synthetically.
Light has been shed on the advantages and limitations of various forms
of biomimetic BM scaffolds including porous polymeric membranes, hydrogels,
and electrospun membranes This Review further elaborates and justifies
the significance of BM mimics in tissue engineering, in particular
in the development of in vitro organ model systems.

Abstract
The amniotic membrane (Amnio-M) has various applications in regenerative medicine. It acts as a highly biocompatible natural scaffold and as a source of several types of stem cells and potent growth factors. It also serves as an effective nano-reservoir for drug delivery, thanks to its high entrapment properties. Over the past century, the use of the Amnio-M in the clinic has evolved from a simple sheet for topical applications for skin and corneal repair into more advanced forms, such as micronized dehydrated membrane, amniotic cytokine extract, and solubilized powder injections to regenerate muscles, cartilage, and tendons. This review highlights the development of the Amnio-M over the years and the implication of new and emerging nanotechnology to support expanding its use for tissue engineering and clinical applications.

Abstract
Decellularized and de-epithelialized placenta membranes have widely been used as scaffolds and grafts in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Exceptional pro-angiogenic and biomechanical properties and low immunogenicity have made the amniochorionic membrane a unique substrate which provides an enriched niche for cellular growth. Herein, an optimized combination of enzymatic solutions (based on streptokinase) with mechanical scrapping is used to remove the amniotic epithelium and chorion trophoblastic layer, which resulted in exposing the basement membranes of both sides without their separation and subsequent damages to the in-between spongy layer. Biomechanical and biodegradability properties, endothelial proliferation capacity, and in vivo pro-angiogenic capabilities of the substrate were also evaluated. Histological staining, immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining for collagen IV, and scanning electron microscope demonstrated that the underlying amniotic and chorionic basement membranes remained intact while the epithelial and trophoblastic layers were entirely removed without considerable damage to basement membranes. The biomechanical evaluation showed that the scaffold is suturable. Proliferation assay, real-time polymerase chain reaction for endothelial adhesion molecules, and IHC demonstrated that both side basement membranes could support the growth of endothelial cells without altering endothelial characteristics. The dorsal skinfold chamber animal model indicated that both side basement membranes could promote angiogenesis. This bi-sided substrate with two exposed surfaces for cultivating various cells would have potential applications in the skin, cardiac, vascularized composite allografts, and microvascular tissue engineering.

Abstract
Objective This study was designed to fabricate a suitable permanent scaffold for the normal aligned myotube formation
and improve the process of myogenic differentiation of selected stem cells.
Materials and Methods In this experimental study, an engineered scaffold composed of decellularized human amniotic
membrane (DHAM) and electrospun fibers of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) was fabricated and characterized. PCL
nanofibers were superimposed on DHAM (PCL-DHAM) in two different patterns, including randomized fibers (Random)
and aligned fibers (Aligned). Adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) were isolated from adult Wistar rats and cultured on
designed scaffold and induced to myotube differentiation. Using an MTT assay, the vitality of cells was determined.
Then, myogenic cell differentiation was assessed using scan electron microscopy (SEM), immunofluorescence assay,
and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
Results The mechanical properties of engineered PCL-DHAM composite improved significantly compared to DHAM
as a control. The engineered PCL-DHAM promoted cell growth and high expression of myosin, Mhc2 and myogenin
and thus enhanced the myotube formation.
Conclusion These findings revealed that bio-composite membrane prepared from PCL nanofibers and DHAM, may
represent a promising biomaterial as a desirable scaffold for applying in the bioengineered muscle repair.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a prevalent disease characterized by the loss of periodontal supporting tissues, bone, periodontal ligament, and cementum. The application of a bone tissue engineering strategy with Decellularized Human Amniotic Membrane (DAM) with adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) has shown to be convenient and valuable. This study aims to investigate the treatments of a rat periodontal furcation defect model with DAM, ASCs, and a mineralized extracellular matrix (ECM). Rat ASCs were expanded, cultivated on DAM, and with a bone differentiation medium for four weeks, deposited ECM on DAM. Periodontal healing for four weeks was evaluated by micro-computed tomography and histological analysis after treatments with DAM, ASCs, and ECM and compared to untreated defects on five consecutive horizontal levels, from gingival to apical. The results demonstrate that DAM preserves its structure during cultivation and healing periods, supporting cell attachment, permeation, bone deposition on DAM, and periodontal regeneration. DAM and DAM+ASCs enhance bone healing compared to the control on the gingival level. In conclusion, DAM with ASC or without cells and the ECM ensures bone tissue healing. The membrane supported neovascularization and promoted osteoconduction.

Application of Concentrated Growth Factors Membrane for Human Umbilical Cord Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cell Differentiation towards Keratinocytes. SEPARATIONS 2021.

Abstract
Concentrated growth factors are extracted from platelet-rich plasma obtained from healthy adult veins by physical gradient centrifugation, and the activated platelets release various growth factors and cytokines, which can be further converted into concentrated growth factors liquid or gel preparations by different centrifuge tubes. These preparations are widely used in clinical treatments in various fields, such as dentistry, dermatology and surgery. In this article, concentrated growth factors gel and platelet-poor plasma gel obtained from six healthy adults were pressed into a concentrated growth factors membrane and platelet-poor plasma membrane. We examined whether the 3D fibrin mesh and the various concentrated growth factors within the concentrated growth factors membrane could be used as a bioscaffold for the human Wharton’s jelly umbilical cord stem cell line or the HaCaT cell line to attach, proliferate and form epidermal-like tissue. We also aimed to implant umbilical cord stem cells on the concentrated growth factors membrane or platelet-poor plasma membrane, and further compare the characteristics of similar tissues after 4 weeks in in vitro culture. The results showed that human Wharton’s jelly umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, implanted on the upper surface of the concentrated growth factors membrane, showed subsequent cell attachment and proliferation. After 4 weeks of ex vivo tissue culture, a multi-layer epidermal-like tissue formed on the upper surface of the membrane containing concentrated growth factors. This tissue had a minimum thickness of 89.91 µm to a maximum of 204.19 µm, mean ± SD = 144.36 µm ± 43.14 µm. Sections of these multi-layer epidermal-like tissues were used for immunohistochemical staining. We found that 79.8% ± 7.2% of the cells expressed the pancytokeratin marker, 29.5% ± 9.4% of the cells expressed the P63 marker, and 71.7% ± 3.9% of the cells expressed the vimentin marker. After the same 4 weeks in the in vitro culture, the HaCaT cells could attach to the concentrated growth factors membrane and proliferate to form a multi-layer tissue, The tissue had a minimum thickness of 63.17 µm to a maximum of 100.26 µm, mean ± SD = 74.05 µm ± 13.44 µm. We found that 88.1% ± 4.9% of the cells expressed the pancytokeratin marker, 63.6% ± 11.4% of the cells expressed the P63 marker, and 79% ± 9.9% of the cells expressed the vimentin marker. Also, after 4 weeks in the in vitro culture, it showed that umbilical cord stem cells could attach to the platelet-poor plasma membrane, proliferate and distribute in the whole-tissue sections. We found that 9.7% ± 2.4% of the cells expressed the pancytokeratin marker, 7.45% ± 1.9% of the cells expressed the P63 maker, and 95.9% ± 3.7% of the cells expressed the vimentin marker. In terms of the percentage of umbilical cord stem cells expressing pancytokeratin, P63, or vimentin cell markers, there was a significant difference between cultivating in the concentrated growth factors membrane scaffold and the platelet-poor plasma membrane scaffolds. In terms of the percentage of umbilical cord stem cells or HaCaT cells (cultivating in the concentrated growth factors membrane) expressing pancytokeratin, P63, or vimentin cell markers, there was no significant difference. These results suggested that umbilical cord Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells can use the concentrated growth factors membrane (composed of 3D fibrin mesh, and various growth factors and cytokines) as an effective and self-contained bioscaffold to differentiate towards keratinocytes-like cells. In the future, donors’ own concentrated growth factors membrane can be applied as an auxiliary tool for autologous tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Discarded tissues, like human amniotic membranes and adipose tissue, were investigated for the application of Decellularized Human Amniotic Membrane (DAM) as a viable scaffold for transplantation of Adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) in bone regeneration of non-healing calvarial defects in rats. Amniotic membrane was decellularized to provide a scaffold for male Wistar rats ASCs expansion and transplantation. ASCs osteoinduction in vitro promoted the deposition of a mineralized bone-like matrix by ASCs, as calcified globular accretions associated with the cells on the DAM surface and inside the collagenous matrix. Non-healing calvarial defects on male Wistar rats were randomly divided in control without treatment, treatment with four layers of DAM, or four layers of DAM associated with ASCs. After 12 weeks, tissue blocks were examined by micro-computed tomography and histology. DAM promoted osteoconduction by increasing the collagenous matrix on both DAM treatments. DAM with ASCs stimulated bone deposition, demonstrated by a higher percentage of bone volume and trabecular bone number, compared to control. Besides the osteogenic capacity in vitro, ASCs stimulated the healing of calvarial defects with significant DAM graft incorporation concomitant with higher host bone deposition. The enhanced in vivo bone regeneration by undifferentiated ASCs loaded onto DAM confirmed the potential of an easily collected autologous cell source associated with a broadly available collagenous matrix in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Stem cell-based therapy is known as a regenerative approach for a variety of diseases and tissue injuries. These cells exert their therapeutic effects through paracrine secretions namely extracellular vesicles. To achieve higher therapeutic potential, a variety of delivery routes have been tested in clinical and preclinical studies. Direct cell injection, intra-venous administration, and intra-arterial infusion are widely used methods of stem cells delivery but these methods are associated with several complications. As one of the most popular biological delivery systems, amniotic membrane has been widely utilized to support cell proliferation and differentiation therefore facilitating tissue regeneration without endangering the stem cells' viability. It is composed of several extracellular matrix components and growth factors. Due to these characteristics, amniotic membrane can mimic the stem cell's niche and can be an ideal carrier for stem cell transplantation. Here, we provide an overview of the recent progress, challenges, and future perspectives in the use of amniotic membrane as a delivery platform for stem cells.

Abstract
Thanks to their biological properties, amniotic membrane (AM), and its derivatives are considered as an attractive reservoir of stem cells and biological scaffolds for bone regenerative medicine. The objective of this systematic review was to assess the benefit of using AM and amniotic membrane-derived products for bone regeneration. An electronic search of the MEDLINE-Pubmed database and the Scopus database was carried out and the selection of articles was performed following PRISMA guidelines. This systematic review included 42 articles taking into consideration the studies in which AM, amniotic-derived epithelial cells (AECs), and amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells (AMSCs) show promising results for bone regeneration in animal models. Moreover, this review also presents some commercialized products derived from AM and discusses their application modalities. Finally, AM therapeutic benefit is highlighted in the reported clinical studies. This study is the first one to systematically review the therapeutic benefits of AM and amniotic membrane-derived products for bone defect healing. The AM is a promising alternative to the commercially available membranes used for guided bone regeneration. Additionally, AECs and AMSCs associated with an appropriate scaffold may also be ideal candidates for tissue engineering strategies applied to bone healing. Here, we summarized these findings and highlighted the relevance of these different products for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Human amniotic membrane (hAM) has been employed as scaffolding material in a wide range of tissue engineering applications, especially as a skin dressing and as a graft for corneal treatment, due to the structure of the extracellular matrix and excellent biological properties that enhance both wound healing and tissue regeneration. This review highlights recent work and current knowledge on the application of native hAM, and/or production of hAM-based tissue-engineered products to create scaffolds mimicking the structure of the native membrane to enhance the hAM performance. Moreover, an overview is presented on the available (cryo) preservation techniques for storage of native hAM and tissue-engineered products that are necessary to maintain biological functions such as angiogenesis, anti-inflammation, antifibrotic and antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Ocular chemical burns are potentially blinding ocular injuries and require urgent management. Amniotic membrane (AM) transplantation is an effective surgical treatment, one of the reasons is because AM is a rich source of growth factors that can promote epithelialization and wound healing. However, growth factors will be gradually lost and insufficient after preparation process and long-time storage, leading to unsatisfactory therapeutic effects. Herein, we present a modified AM (AM-HEP) for the supplement and sustained release of growth factor by surface grafting heparin for treatment of ocular chemical burns. Heparin grafting rate and stability, microstructure, physical property, and sustained release of epithelial growth factor (EGF) of AM-HEP were characterized. Biocompatibility and ability to promote corneal epithelial cell growth and migration were evaluated and compared with a biological amnion, which is available on the market in vitro. The therapeutic effects of AM-HEP combined with EGF (AM-HEP@EGF) in vivo had been evaluated in a model of mouse corneal alkali burn. The results indicated that heparin was introduced into AM and maintain stability over 3 weeks at 37°C. The modification process of AM-HEP did not affect microstructure and physical property after comparing with non-modified AM. EGF could be combined quickly and effectively with AM-HEP; the sustained release could last for more than 14 days. AM-HEP@EGF could significantly promote corneal epithelial cell growth and migration, compared with non-modified AM and control group. Faster corneal epithelialization was observed with the transplantation of AM-HEP@EGF in vivo, compared with the untreated control group. The corneas in the AM-HEP@EGF group have less inflammation and were more transparent than those in the control group. The results from in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that AM-HEP@EGF could significantly enhance the therapeutic effects. Taken together, AM-HEP@EGF is exhibited to be a potent clinical application in corneal alkali burns through accelerating corneal epithelial wound healing.

METHODS Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor-BB, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ) concentrations in StemWrap+ were assessed with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Two full-thickness 6.25-cm2 skin wounds were created on each metacarpus. On one forelimb, one wound was treated with eAM, and the other was left untreated (eAM control). On the contralateral limb, one wound was treated with a silicone dressing, and the other served as negative control. Three-dimensional images were obtained to determine wound circumference and surface area analyses at each bandage change until healed. Excessive granulation tissue was debrided once weekly for 4 weeks. Biopsy samples were taken to evaluate quality of wound healing via histologic and immunohistochemistry assays. RESULTS StemWrap+ contained moderate concentrations of TGF-β1 (494.10 pg/mL), VEGF (212.52 pg/mL), and PGE2 (1811.61 pg/mL). Treatment of wounds with eAM did not affect time to healing or histologic quality of the healing compared with other groups but was associated with increased granulation tissue production early in the study, particularly on day 7. CONCLUSION Application of eAM resulted in increased granulation tissue production while maintaining appropriate healing of experimental wounds. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Use of eAM is likely most beneficial for substantial wounds in which expedient production of large amounts of granulation tissue is desirable.

Fenelon M, Maurel DB, Siadous R, Gremare A, Delmond S, Durand M, Brun S, Catros S, Gindraux F, L'Heureux N, Fricain JC. Comparison of the impact of preservation methods on amniotic membrane properties for tissue engineering applications. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 104:109903. [PMID: 31500032 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2019.109903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2019] [Revised: 06/02/2019] [Accepted: 06/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Human amniotic membrane (hAM) is considered as an attractive biological scaffold for tissue engineering. For this application, hAM has been mainly processed using cryopreservation, lyophilization and/or decellularization. However, no study has formally compared the influence of these treatments on hAM properties. The aim of this study was to develop a new decellularization-preservation process of hAM, and to compare it with other conventional treatments (fresh, cryopreserved and lyophilized). The hAM was decellularized (D-hAM) using an enzymatic method followed by a detergent decellularization method, and was then lyophilized and gamma-sterilized. Decellularization was assessed using DNA staining and quantification. D-hAM was compared to fresh (F-hAM), cryopreserved (C-hAM) and lyophilized/gamma-sterilized (L-hAM) hAM. Their cytotoxicity on human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and their biocompatibility in a rat subcutaneous model were also evaluated. The protocol was effective as judged by the absence of nuclei staining and the residual DNA lower than 50 ng/mg. Histological staining showed a disruption of the D-hAM architecture, and its thickness was 84% lower than fresh hAM (p < 0.001). Despite this, the labeling of type IV and type V collagen, elastin and laminin were preserved on D-hAM. Maximal force before rupture of D-hAM was 92% higher than C-hAM and L-hAM (p < 0.01), and D-hAM was 37% more stretchable than F-hAM (p < 0.05). None of the four hAM were cytotoxic, and D-hAM was the most suitable scaffold for hBMSCs proliferation. Finally, D-hAM was well integrated in vivo. In conclusion, this new hAM decellularization process appears promising for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
In vitro co-cultures of different primary human cell types are pivotal for the testing and evaluation of biomaterials under conditions that are closer to the human in vivo situation. Especially co-cultures of macrophages and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are of interest, as they are both present and involved in tissue regeneration and inflammatory reactions and play crucial roles in the immediate inflammatory reactions and the onset of regenerative processes, thus reflecting the decisive early phase of biomaterial contact with the host. A co-culture system of these cell types might thus allow for the assessment of the biocompatibility of biomaterials. The establishment of such a co-culture is challenging due to the different in vitro cell culture conditions. For human macrophages, medium is usually supplemented with human serum (hS), whereas hMSC culture is mostly performed using fetal calf serum (FCS), and these conditions are disadvantageous for the respective other cell type. We demonstrate that human platelet lysate (hPL) can replace hS in macrophage cultivation and appears to be the best option for co-cultivation of human macrophages with hMSCs. In contrast to FCS and hS, hPL maintained the phenotype of both cell types, comparable to that of their respective standard culture serum, as well as the percentage of each cell population. Moreover, the expression profile and phagocytosis activity of macrophages was similar to hS.

Tissue-Engineered Grafts from Human Decellularized Extracellular Matrices: A Systematic Review and Future Perspectives. Int J Mol Sci 2018; 19:ijms19124117.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine involve many different artificial and biologic materials, frequently integrated in composite scaffolds, which can be repopulated with various cell types. One of the most promising scaffolds is decellularized allogeneic extracellular matrix (ECM) then recellularized by autologous or stem cells, in order to develop fully personalized clinical approaches. Decellularization protocols have to efficiently remove immunogenic cellular materials, maintaining the nonimmunogenic ECM, which is endowed with specific inductive/differentiating actions due to its architecture and bioactive factors. In the present paper, we review the available literature about the development of grafts from decellularized human tissues/organs. Human tissues may be obtained not only from surgery but also from cadavers, suggesting possible development of Human Tissue BioBanks from body donation programs. Many human tissues/organs have been decellularized for tissue engineering purposes, such as cartilage, bone, skeletal muscle, tendons, adipose tissue, heart, vessels, lung, dental pulp, intestine, liver, pancreas, kidney, gonads, uterus, childbirth products, cornea, and peripheral nerves. In vitro recellularizations have been reported with various cell types and procedures (seeding, injection, and perfusion). Conversely, studies about in vivo behaviour are poorly represented. Actually, the future challenge will be the development of human grafts to be implanted fully restored in all their structural/functional aspects.

Abstract
IMPACT STATEMENT This study aimed at developing an amnion-based scaffold suitable for vascular tissue engineering applications and in vivo usage. We successfully produced a multilayered scaffold with improved biomechanical properties and biocompatibility for in vivo vascular implantation. Our approach not only offers an allogeneic "off-the-shelf" solution for clinical use but also it provides the possibility of personalized medicine using a patient's own amnion and stem cells for the production of tissue engineered grafts for reconstructive heart surgery.

Abstract
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a marked and important neuropeptide expressed in nerve fibers during bone repair. This study investigated the role of CGRP overexpression on osteogenic differentiation of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs). rBMSCs were infected with viral stocks of pLenO-DCE-CGRP (CGRP group) or pLenO-DCE (Vector group), while normal rBMSCs were used as a control. Transfection efficiency of rBMSCs was analyzed by flow cytometry. Cell proliferation was examined using a Cell Counting Kit-8 and flow cytometry. Expressions of alkaline phosphatase(ALP), bone sialoprotein (BSP) and Runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx2) in rBMSCs were detected at 1 and 2 weeks after mineral induction by real-time PCR and western blotting. Alizarin Red staining was applied at 28 days. The ratio of osteoprotegerin (OPG) to receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) was also detected to determine the underlying mechanism. pLenO-DCE-CGRP-induced rBMSCs stably overexpressing CGRP were successfully established. Overexpression of the CGRP gene significantly promoted rBMSC proliferation (p < 0.05). In addition, expressions of osteogenesis-related indexes were upregulated in the CGRP group (p < 0.05) compared with vector and control groups, and more mineralization nodules were observed in the CGRP group (p < 0.05). CGRP gene increased OPG and reduced RANKL in rBMSCs. Hence, the OPG/ RANKL ratio was increased in the CGRP group compared with the other two groups. CGRP gene-modified rBMSCs show better osteogenic differentiation capacity compared with rBMSCs in vitro.

Semaphorin 3A promotes osteogenic differentiation of BMSC from type 2 diabetes mellitus rats. J Mol Histol 2018; 49:369-376.

Abstract
Bone regeneration is impaired in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which leads to non-healing after bone loss. The decreased osteogenic capacity of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) might be a main reason. Sema3A, as a powerful protein promoting osteocyte differentiation, shows potential for bone regeneration treatment. BMSCs may be a therapeutic solution. In this study, we divided BMSCs from T2DM rats (BMSCs-D) and normal rats (BMSCs-N), identified their ability to differentiate into different cell types. Then we found decreased expression of Sema3A in BMSCs-D compared with BMSCs-N. Stimulating with Sema3A showed no influence in the proliferation or migration of BMSCs. However, Sema3A stimulation significantly increased the expression of osteogenic‑related genes, including type I collagen, alkaline phosphatase, Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), bone morphogenetic protein and osteocalcin. Besides, the osteogenic capacity of BMSCs was also increased by Sema3A stimulation. In conclusion, we proved that exogenous Sema3A stimulation might repair the osteogenic capacity of BMSCs-D, thus providing a new strategy for restoring the impaired bone regeneration ability for T2DM patients.
