Abstract
microRNAs (miRs) have been reported over the decades as important regulators in bone development and bone regeneration. They play important roles in maintaining the stem cell signature as well as regulating stem cell fate decisions. Thus, delivering miRs and miR inhibitors to the defect site is a potential treatment towards craniofacial bone defects. However, there are challenges in translation of basic research to clinics, including the efficiency, specificity, and efficacy of miR manipulation methods and the safety of miR delivery systems. In this review, we will compare miR oligonucleotides, mimics and antagomirs as therapeutic reagents to treat disease and regenerate tissues. Newer technology will be discussed as well as the efficiency and efficacy of using these technologies to express or inhibit miRs in treating and repairing oral tissues. Delivery of these molecules using extracellular vesicles and nanoparticles can achieve different results and depending on their composition will elicit specific effects. We will highlight the specificity, toxicity, stability, and effectiveness of several miR systems in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Breast cancer is a complex disease with multiple risk factors involved in its pathogenesis. Among these factors, microRNAs are considered for playing a fundamental role in the development and progression of malignant breast tumors. In recent years, various studies have demonstrated that several microRNAs exhibit increased or decreased expression in metastatic breast cancer, acting as indicators of metastatic potential in body fluids and tissue samples. The identification of these microRNA expression patterns could prove instrumental for the development of novel therapeutic molecules that either mimic or inhibit microRNA action. Additionally, an efficient delivery system mediated by viral vectors, nonviral carriers, or scaffold biomaterials is a prerequisite for implementing microRNA-based therapies; therefore, this review attempts to highlight essential microRNA molecules involved in the metastatic process of breast cancer and discuss recent advances in microRNA-based therapeutic approaches with potential future applications to the treatment sequence of breast cancer.

Cell Tissue Res 2021; 383:795-807. [PMID: 33151455 DOI: 10.1007/s00441-020-03305-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2019] [Accepted: 09/16/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are considered to be seed cells in bone tissue engineering and emerging evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) function in the osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs. The mechanisms of osteoblastic differentiation of ADSCs from the perspective of circRNA modulation are examined in this study. First, circRNA-23525 was upregulated during osteoblastic differentiation of ADSCs. Second, overexpression of circRNA-23525 increased Runx2, ALP and OCN at both mRNA and protein levels. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin Red staining indicated a similar tendency. Silencing circRNA-23525 produced the opposite effect. Bioinformatics analysis with luciferase assays confirmed that circRNA-23525 functioned as a sponge for miR-30a-3p. In the osteoblastic differentiation of ADSCs, the dynamic expression of miR-30a-3p and circRNA-23525 resulted in an opposite trend at 3, 7 and 14 days. Overexpression of circRNA-23525 downregulated miR-30a-3p and knockdown of circRNA-23525 promoted the expression of miR-30a-3p. Bioinformatics methods and luciferase assays suggested that miR-30a-3p modulated Runx2 expression by targeting 3'UTR. Knockdown of miR-30a-3p facilitated osteogenesis in ADSCs and enhancing miR-30a-3p interfered with the osteogenic process. Finally, circRNA-23525 overexpression significantly increased Runx2 expression, while co-transfection of miR-30a-3p mimics reversed it. Runx2 expression was decreased in circRNA-23525-knockdown ADSCs but expression was rescued by including the miR-30a-3p inhibitor in the osteoblastic process. ALP activity and mineralized bone matrix confirmed the function of circRNA-23525/miR-30a-3p in osteogenesis. Taken together, the current study demonstrated that circRNA-23525 regulates Runx2 expression via targeting miR-30a-3p and is thus a positive regulator in the osteoblastic differentiation of ADSCs.

Abstract
Cornea is an avascular and transparent tissue that focuses light on retina. Cornea is supported by the corneal-endothelial layer through regulation of hydration homeostasis. Restoring vision in patients afflicted with corneal endothelium dysfunction-mediated blindness most often requires corneal transplantation (CT), which faces considerable constrictions due to donor limitations. An emerging alternative to CT is corneal endothelium tissue engineering (CETE), which involves utilizing scaffold-based methods and scaffold-free strategies. The innovative scaffold-free method is cell sheet engineering, which typically generates cell layers surrounded by an intact extracellular matrix, exhibiting tunable release from the stimuli-responsive surface. In some studies, scaffold-based or scaffold-free technologies have been reported to achieve promising outcomes. However, yet some issues exist in translating CETE from bench to clinical practice. In this review, we compare different corneal endothelium regeneration methods and elaborate on the application of multiple cell types (stem cells, corneal endothelial cells, and endothelial precursors), signaling molecules (growth factors, cytokines, chemical compounds, and small RNAs), and natural and synthetic scaffolds for CETE. Furthermore, we discuss the importance of three-dimensional bioprinting strategies and simulation of Descemet's membrane by biomimetic topography. Finally, we dissected the recent advances, applications, and prospects of cell sheet engineering for CETE.

Abstract
Significant progress in osteochondral tissue engineering has been made for biomaterials designed to deliver growth factors that promote tissue regeneration. However, due to diffusion characteristics of hydrogels, the accurate delivery of signaling molecules remains a challenge. In comparison to the direct delivery of growth factors, gene therapy can overcome these challenges by allowing the simultaneous delivery of growth factors and transcription factors, thereby enhancing the multifactorial processes of tissue formation. Scaffold-based gene therapy provides a promising approach for tissue engineering through transfecting cells to enhance the sustained expression of the protein of interest or through silencing target genes associated with bone and joint disease. Reports of the efficacy of gene therapy to regenerate bone/cartilage tissue regeneration are widespread, but reviews on osteochondral tissue engineering using scaffold-based gene therapy are sparse. Herein, we review the recent advances in gene therapy with a focus on tissue engineering scaffolds for osteochondral regeneration.

Abstract
Several evidences support the idea that a small population of tumour cells representing self‐renewal potential are involved in initiation, maintenance, metastasis, and outcomes of cancer therapy. Elucidation of microRNAs/genes regulatory networks activated in cancer stem cells (CSCs) is necessary for the identification of new targets for cancer therapy. The aim of the present study was to predict the miRNAs pattern, which can target both metastasis and self‐renewal pathways using integration of literature and data mining. For this purpose, mammospheres derived from MCF‐7, MDA‐MB231, and MDA‐MB468 were used as breast CSCs model. They had higher migration, invasion, and colony formation potential, with increasing in stemness‐ and EMT‐related genes expression. Our results determined that miR‐204, ‐200c, ‐34a, and ‐10b contemporarily could target both self‐renewal and EMT pathways. This core regulatory of miRNAs could increase the survival rate of breast invasive carcinoma via up‐regulation of OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, c‐MYC, NOTCH1, SNAI1, ZEB1, and CDH2 and down‐regulation of CDH1. The majority of those target genes were involved in the regulation of pluripotency, MAPK, WNT, Hedgehog, p53, and transforming growth factor β pathways. Hence, this study provides novel insights for targeting core regulatory of miRNAs in breast CSCs to target both self‐renewal and metastasis potential and eradication of breast cancer.

Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), one of the most common malignant human disorders, originates in different important genetic lesions in T-cell or B-cell progenitors. ALL is a malignant lymphoid progenitor with peak prevalence in children (2-5 years). The rate of survival when one is suffering from ALL depends on various agents including the age of the patient, responses to anti-leukemic therapy, and cell biology. miRNAs and epigenetics are important regulatory factors in the expression of genes. miRNAs are noncoding RNA with inhibitory effectors on specific mRNA. Patterns of DNA methylation are profoundly changed in ALL by epigenetic mechanisms. The deciphering of miRNA and the epigenetic pathogenesis in ALL could revolutionize response to the therapy and outcome, and create an enormous promise for novel approaches to reduce the toxic side-effects of intensive leukemia. Hence, pathogenetic miRNAs and epigenetics leading to the initiation and the progression of ALL are summarized in this review.

Abstract
Cell sheet technology aims at replacement of artificial extracellular matrix (ECM) or scaffolds, popular in tissue engineering, with natural cell derived ECM. Adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) have the ability of ECM secretion and presented promising outcomes in clinical trials. As well, different studies found that secretome of ASCs could be suitable for triggering cell free regeneration induction. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of using two bio-factors: secretome of ASCs (SE) and vitamin C (VC) for cell sheet engineering on a thermosensitive poly N-isopropyl acryl amide-Methacrylic acid (P(NIPAAm-MAA)) hydrogel. The results revealed that using thermosensitive P(NIPAAm-MAA) copolymer as matrix for cell sheet engineering lead to a rapid ON⁄OFF adhesion/deadhesion system by reducing temperature without enzymatic treatment (complete cell sheet release takes just 6 min). In addition, our study showed the potential of SE for inducing ASCs sheet formation. H&E staining exhibited the properties of a well-formed tissue layer with a dense ECM in sheets prepared by both SE and VC factors, as compared to those of VC or SE alone. Functional synergism of SE and VC exhibited statistically significant enhanced functionality regarding up-regulation of stemness genes expression, reduced β-galactosidase associated senescence, and facilitated sheet release. Additionally, alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), mineralized deposits and osteoblast matrix around cells confirmed a better performance of ostogenic differentiation of ASCs induced by VC and SE. It was concluded that SE of ASCs and VC could be outstanding biofactors applicable for cell sheet technology.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) biodegradable and biomimetic porous scaffolds are ideal frameworks for skin tissue engineering. In this study, hybrid constructs of 3D scaffolds were successfully fabricated by the freeze-drying method from combinations of the type I collagen (Col) and synthetic poly(lactic acid) (PLLA) or polycaprolactone (PCL). Four different groups of 3D porous scaffolds including PCL, PCL-Col, PCL-PLLA, and PCL-PLLA-Col were fabricated and systematically characterized by hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) were seeded in all scaffolds, and the viability, proliferation, and adhesion of the cells were investigated using dimethylthiazol diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and SEM. The results showed that scaffolds containing Col, particularly PCL-PLLA-Col scaffold, with pore sizes close to 400 nm and being sufficiently interconnected, have significantly greater potential (p < 0.01) for encouraging AT-MSCs adhesion and growth. The PCL-PLLA provided a mechanically stronger mesh support, and the type I Col microsponges encouraged excellent cell adhesion and tissue formation. The scaffold with the best properties could be an appropriate functional candidate for the preparation of artificial skin constructs.

Two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures have been extensively used to investigate stem cell biology, but new insights show that the 2D model may not properly represent the potential of the tissue of origin. Conversely, three-dimensional cultures exhibit protein expression patterns and intercellular junctions that are more representative of their in vivo condition. Multiclonal cells that grow in suspension are defined as "spheroids," and we have previously demonstrated that spheroids from adipose-derived stem cells (S-ASCs) displayed enhanced regenerative capability. With the current study, we further characterized S-ASCs to further understand the molecular mechanisms underlying their stemness properties. Recent studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in many cellular mechanisms, including stemness maintenance and proliferation, and adipose stem cell differentiation. Most studies have been conducted to identify a specific miRNA profile on adherent adipose stem cells, although little is still known about S-ASCs. In this study, we investigate for the first time the miRNA expression pattern in S-ASCs compared to that of ASCs, demonstrating that cell lines cultured in suspension show a typical miRNA expression profile that is closer to the one reported in induced pluripotent stem cells. Moreover, we have analyzed miRNAs that are specifically involved in two distinct moments of each differentiation, namely early and late stages of osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineages during long-term in vitro culture. The data reported in the current study suggest that S-ASCs have superior stemness features than the ASCs and they represent the true upstream stem cell fraction present in adipose tissue, relegating their adherent counterparts.

Abstract
Human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC)-derived exosomes have shown regenerative effects, but their role in osteogenesis and the underlying mechanism are yet to be determined. In this study, we examined the time-course secretion of exosomes by hMSCs during the entire process of osteogenic differentiation. Exosomes derived from hMSCs in various stages of osteogenic differentiation committed homotypic cells to differentiate towards osteogenic lineage, but only exosomes from late stages of osteogenic differentiation induced extracellular matrix mineralisation. Exosomes from expansion and early and late stages of osteogenic differentiation were internalised by a subpopulation of hMSCs. MicroRNA profiling revealed a set of differentially expressed exosomal microRNAs from the late stage of osteogenic differentiation, which were osteogenesis related. Target prediction demonstrated that these microRNAs enriched pathways involved in regulation of osteogenic differentiation and general mechanisms how exosomes exert their functions, such as "Wnt signalling pathway" and "endocytosis". Taken together, the results show that MSCs secrete exosomes with different biological properties depending on differentiation stage of their parent cells. The exosomal cargo transferred from MSCs in the late stage of differentiation induces osteogenic differentiation and mineralisation. Moreover, it is suggested that the regulatory effect on osteogenesis by exosomes is at least partly exerted by exosomal microRNA.

Abstract
microRNA-based therapies are an advantageous strategy with applications in both regenerative medicine (RM) and cancer treatments. microRNAs (miRNAs) are an evolutionary conserved class of small RNA molecules that modulate up to one third of the human nonprotein coding genome. Thus, synthetic miRNA activators and inhibitors hold immense potential to finely balance gene expression and reestablish tissue health. Ongoing industry-sponsored clinical trials inspire a new miRNA therapeutics era, but progress largely relies on the development of safe and efficient delivery systems. The emerging application of biomaterial scaffolds for this purpose offers spatiotemporal control and circumvents biological and mechanical barriers that impede successful miRNA delivery. The nascent research in scaffold-mediated miRNA therapies translates know-how learnt from studies in antitumoral and genetic disorders as well as work on plasmid (p)DNA/siRNA delivery to expand the miRNA therapies arena. In this progress report, the state of the art methods of regulating miRNAs are reviewed. Relevant miRNA delivery vectors and scaffold systems applied to-date for RM and cancer treatment applications are discussed, as well as the challenges involved in their design. Overall, this progress report demonstrates the opportunity that exists for the application of miRNA-activated scaffolds in the future of RM and cancer treatments.

Abstract
Objective To review the research progress of miRNA regulation in the differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Methods The recent literature associated with miRNAs and differentiation of ADSCs was reviewed. The regulatory mechanism was analyzed in detail and summarized. Results The results indicate that the expression of miRNAs changes during differentiation of ADSCs. In addition, miRNAs regulate the differentiation of ADSCs into adipocytes, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, neurons, and hepatocytes by regulating the signaling pathways involved in cell differentiation. Conclusion Through controlling the differentiation of ADSCs by miRNAs, the suitable seed cell for tissue engineering can be established. The review will provide a theoretical basis for molecular targeted therapy and stem cell therapy in clinic.

Abstract
The intraocular administration of the ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) has been found to attenuate the photoreceptor degeneration and preserve retinal functions in the animal research models of the inherited or induced retinal disease. Studies with the aim of CNTF transfer to the posterior segment inside the eye have been directed to determine the best method for its administration. An ideal delivery method would overcome the eye drug elimination mechanisms or barriers and provide the sustained release of the CNTF into retina in the safest fashion with the minimum harm to the quality of life. This review focuses on the present state of CNTF delivery to retina, also provides an overview of available technologies and their challenges.

Abstract
A series of sila-organosulphur compounds containing 1,2,3-triazole cores were screened for their cytotoxic activity on human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Most of the tested compounds exhibited moderate-to-good activity against the cancer cells. Especially, the compound 4-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethynylthio)methyl)-1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (3a) from series of sila-substituted thioalkyne 1,2,3-triazoles (STATs) and the compounds 3-(1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1-mercapto-1,1-bis(trimethylsilyl)propane-2-thione (4a) and 1-mercapto-1,1-bis(trimethylsilyl)-3-(1-phenethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)propane-2-thione (4e) from series of sila-substituted mercapto-thione 1,2,3-triazoles (SMTTs) exhibited promising cytotoxicity against MCF-7 with IC50 values of 35.17, 32.63 and 30.3 μg/mL, respectively. In addition, the possible mechanisms for inhibition of cell growth and induction of apoptotic cell death were explored by DAPI staining, cell cycle analysis and qRT-PCR. The synthetic compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activities, and as a result, the most prominent effects were observed for 3e and 4e. Especially, 3e was found to be quite active against all the tested strains with the MIC values ranging from 15 to 62 μg/mL, except P. aeruginosa. The results of the time-kill assay suggested that the compound of 3e completely inhibited the growth of both gram-negative bacteria, A. baumannii, and gram-positive bacteria, S. aureus. In addition, SEM analysis confirmed morphostructural damage of the bacteria. Our findings could be applicable for developing dual-targeting anticancer/antibacterial therapeutics.
