Musculoskelet Surg 2024; 108:1-9. [PMID: 37943411 PMCID: PMC10881601 DOI: 10.1007/s12306-023-00798-7] [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: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this systematic review was to analyze the current use of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) and present the available evidence on their therapeutic potential in the treatment of ankle orthopedic issues, evaluating the applications and results. A literature search of PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE and Cochrane Library database was performed. The review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Risk of bias assessment was conducted through the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) criteria. Initial search results yielded 4348 articles. A total of 8 articles were included in the review process. No clinical evidence has demonstrated the effectiveness of one isolation method over the other, but nonenzymatic mechanical method has more advantages. In all studies included significant clinical outcomes improvement were recorded in patients affected by osteochondral lesion and osteoarthritis of ankle. All studies performed a concomitant procedure. No serious complications were reported. ADMSC injection, especially through the nonenzymatic mechanical methods, looks to be simple and promising treatment for osteochondral lesions and osteoarthritis of the ankle, with no severe complications. The current scarcity of studies and their low-quality level preclude definitive conclusions presently. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.

Abstract
Antler is the secondary sexual characteristic of deer, which develops on the forehead at puberty. It is the only organ that can be regenerated entirely in mammals. Therefore, it is often used as a research model in the field of organ regeneration and wound repair. Many growth factors and proteins play an active role throughout the developmental process of antler regeneration. With the rapid development of sequencing technology, more and more noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been discovered, and the relationship between ncRNA and antler regeneration has gradually become clear. This paper focuses on the research progress of several ncRNAs (including miRNA and lncRNA) in deer antler tissues, which are helpful to reveal the molecular mechanism of deer antler regeneration at the molecular level.

Abstract
Over the last decade, stem cell-based regenerative medicine has progressed to clinical testing and therapeutic applications. The applications range from infusions of autologous and allogeneic stem cells to stem cell-derived products. Adult stem cells from adipose tissue (ASCs) show significant promise in treating autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases, vascular and metabolic diseases, bone and cartilage regeneration and wound defects. The regenerative capabilities of ASCs in vivo are primarily orchestrated by their secretome of paracrine factors and cell-matrix interactions. More recent developments are focused on creating more complex structures such as 3D organoids, tissue elements and eventually fully functional tissues and organs to replace or repair diseased or damaged tissues. The current and future applications for ASCs in regenerative medicine are discussed here.

Abstract
Articular cartilage regeneration is one of the challenges faced by orthopedic surgeons. Microcarrier applications have made great advances in cartilage tissue engineering in recent years and enable cost-effective cell expansion, thus providing permissive microenvironments for cells. In addition, microcarriers can be loaded with proteins, factors, and drugs for cartilage regeneration. Some microcarriers also have the advantages of injectability and targeted delivery. The application of microcarriers with these characteristics can overcome the limitations of traditional methods and provide additional advantages. In terms of the transformation potential, microcarriers have not only many advantages, such as providing sufficient and beneficial cells, factors, drugs, and microenvironments for cartilage regeneration, but also many application characteristics; for example, they can be injected to reduce invasiveness, transplanted after microtissue formation to increase efficiency, or combined with other stents to improve mechanical properties. Therefore, this technology has enormous potential for clinical transformation. In this review, we focus on recent advances in microcarriers for cartilage regeneration. We compare the characteristics of microcarriers with other methods for repairing cartilage defects, provide an overview of the advantages of microcarriers, discuss the potential of microcarrier systems, and present an outlook for future development. Translational potential of this article We reviewed the advantages and recent advances of microcarriers for cartilage regeneration. This review could give many scholars a better understanding of microcarriers, which can provide doctors with potential methods for treating patients with cartilage injure.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) can maintain self-renewal and enhanced multidifferentiation potential through the release of a variety of paracrine factors and extracellular vesicles, allowing them to repair damaged organs and tissues. Consequently, considerable attention has increasingly been paid to their application in tissue engineering and organ regeneration. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current status of ADSC preparation, including harvesting, isolation, and identification. The advances in preclinical and clinical evidence-based ADSC therapy for bone, cartilage, myocardium, liver, and nervous system regeneration as well as skin wound healing are also summarized. Notably, the perspectives, potential challenges, and future directions for ADSC-related researches are discussed. We hope that this review can provide comprehensive and standardized guidelines for the safe and effective application of ADSCs to achieve predictable and desired therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are well-known for tissue regeneration and bone repair. This study intended to evaluate the potential efficiency BMSCs in poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) scaffolds for the treatment of laryngeal cartilage defects. BMSCs were isolated and identified, and added with 10 ng/mL transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) or/and 300 ng/mL CDMP1 to coculture with PLGA scaffolds. The chondrogenic differentiation, migration, and apoptosis of BMSCs were detected under the action of TGF-β1 or/and CDMP1. After successful modeling of laryngeal cartilage defects, PLGA scaffolds were transplanted into the rabbits correspondingly. After 8 weeks, laryngeal cartilage defects were assessed. Levels of collagen II, aggrecan, Sox9, Smad2, Smad3, ERK, and JNK were detected. The TGF-β1 or/and CDMP1-induced BMSCs expressed collagen II, aggrecan, and Sox9, with enhanced cell migration and inhibited apoptosis. In addition, laryngeal cartilage defect in rabbits with TGF-β1 or/and CDMP1 was alleviated, and levels of specific cartilage matrix markers were decreased. The combined effects of TGF-β1 and CDMP1 were more significant. The TGF-β1/Smad and ERK/JNK pathways were activated after TGF-β1 or/and CDMP1 were added to BMSCs or rabbits. In summary, BMSCs and PLGA scaffolds repair laryngeal cartilage defects in rabbits by activating the TGF-β1/Smad and ERK/JNK pathways under the coaction of TGF-β1 and CDMP1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with multilineage differentiation potential. They can be collected from bone marrow, fat, amniotic fluid, and teeth. Stem cell-based therapies have been widely used to treat multiple diseases, such as cardiac disease, and hematological disorders. The cells may also be beneficial for controlling the disease course and promoting tissue regeneration in oral and maxillofacial diseases. Oral-derived gingival mesenchymal stem cells are easy to access and the donor sites heal rapidly without a scar. Such characteristics demonstrate the beneficial role of GMSCs in oral and maxillofacial diseases. OBJECTIVE We summarize the features of GMSCs, including their self-renewal, multipotent differentiation, immunomodulation, and anti-inflammation properties. We also discuss their applications in oral and maxillofacial disease treatment and tissue regeneration. CONCLUSION GMSCs are easily harvestable adult stem cells with outstanding proliferation, differentiation, and immunomodulation characteristics. A growing body of evidence indicates that GMSCs have strong potential use in accelerating wound healing and promoting the regeneration of bone defects, periodontium, oral neoplasms, salivary glands, peri-implantitis, and nerves. Moreover, alginate, polylactic acid and polycaprolactone can be used as biodegradable scaffolds for GMSC encapsulation. Various growth factors can be applied to the corresponding scaffolds to obtain the desired GMSC differentiation and phenotypes. Three-dimensional spheroid culture systems could optimize GMSC properties and improve the performance of the cells in tissue engineering. The immunomodulatory property of GMSCs in controlling oral and maxillofacial inflammation needs further research.

Abstract
The gelatin microsphere (GM) provides an attractive option for tissue engineering due to its versatility, as reported by various studies. This review presents the history, characteristics of, and the multiple approaches to, the production of GM, and in particular, the water in oil emulsification technique. Thereafter, the application of GM as a drug delivery system for cartilage diseases is introduced. The review then focusses on the emerging application of GM as a carrier for cells and biologics, and biologics delivery within a cartilage construct. The influence of GM on chondrocytes in terms of promoting chondrocyte proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation is highlighted. Furthermore, GM seeded with cells has been shown to have a high tendency to form aggregates; hence the concept of using GM seeded with cells as the building block for the formation of a complex tissue construct. Despite the advancement in GM research, some issues must still be addressed, particularly the improvement of GM’s ability to home to defect sites. As such, the strategy of intraarticular injection of GM seeded with antibody-coated cells is proposed. By addressing this in future studies, a better-targeted delivery system, that would result in more effective intervention, can be achieved.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study, retinoic acid loaded-PLGA-gelatin matrixes were prepared with both freeze-casting and freeze-drying techniques. Herein, the effect of unidirectional microstructure with tunable pores on release profile, cellular adhesion, migration, and differentiation was compared. Morphological observation determined that highly interconnected porous structure can be formed, but lamellar pore channels were observed in freeze-casting prepared constructs. The absorption ratio was increased, and the biodegradation rate was decreased as a function of the orientation of microstructure. The in-vitro release study illustrated non-Fickian release mechanism in both methods, so that erosion has predominated over diffusion. Accordingly, PLGA-gelatin scaffolds prepared with freeze-drying technique showed no adequate erosion due to the rigid structure, while freeze-casting one presented more favorable erosion. Microscopic observations of adhered P19 embryonic cells on the scaffolds showed that the freeze-casting matrixes with unidirectional pores provide a more compatible microenvironment for cell attachments and spreading. Besides, it facilitated cell migration and penetration inside the structure and may act as guidance for neuron growth. Improvement in the expression of neural genes in unidirectionally oriented pores proved the decisive role of contact guidance for nerve healing. It seems that the freeze-cast PLGA-gelatin-retinoic acid scaffolds have initial features for nerve tissue regeneration studies.

Abstract
The immunologic response toward chronic inflammation or bone regeneration via the accumulation of M1 or M2 macrophages after injury could determine the fate of biomaterial. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) have a pivotal immunomodulatory property on directing macrophage behaviors. Herein, for the first time, 3D-printed poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) scaffolds modified with hUCMSC-derived extracellular matrix (PLGA-ECM) are prepared by a facile tissue engineering technique with physical decellularization and 2.44 ± 0.29 mg cm-3 proteins immobilized on the PLGA-ECM contain multiple soluble cytokines with a sustainable release profile. The PLGA-ECM not only attenuates the foreign body response, but also improves bone regeneration by increasing the accumulation of M2 macrophages in an improved heterotopic transplantation model of SCID mice. Furthermore, the PLGA-ECM scaffolds with the knockdown of transforming growth factor-β-induced protein (TGFβI/βig-H3) demonstrate that M2 macrophage accumulation improved by the PLGA-ECM could be attributed to increasing the migration of M2 macrophages and the repolarization of M1 macrophages to M2 phenotype, which are mediated by multiple integrin signaling pathways involving in integrin β7, integrin α9, and integrin β1 in a TGFβI-dependent manner. This study presents an effective surface modification strategy of polymeric scaffolds to initiate tissue regeneration and combat inflammatory response by increasing M2 macrophage accumulation.

Abstract
Osteochondral damage from trauma or osteoarthritis is a general joint disease that can lead to an increased social and economic burden in the modern society. The inefficiency of osteochondral defects is mainly due to the absence of suitable tissue-engineered substrates promoting tissue regeneration and replacing damaged areas. The hydrogels are becoming a promising kind of biomaterials for tissue regeneration. The biomimetic hydrogel microenvironment can be tightly controlled by modulating a number of biophysical and biochemical properties, including matrix mechanics, degradation, microstructure, cell adhesion, and intercellular interactions. In particular, advances in stem cell-laden hydrogels have offered new ideas for the cell therapy and osteochondral repair. Herein, the aim of this review is to underpin the importance of stem cell-laden hydrogels on promoting the development of osteochondral regeneration, especially in the field of manipulation of biomimetic microenvironment and utilization growth factors with various delivery methods.

Abstract
IMPACT STATEMENT Scaffolds fabricated from extracellular matrix (ECM) derivatives are composed of conducive structures for cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation, but generally do not have proper mechanical properties and load-bearing capacity. In contrast, scaffolds based on synthetic biomaterials demonstrate appropriate mechanical strength, but the absence of desirable biological properties is one of their main disadvantages. To integrate mechanical strength and biological cues, these ECM derivatives can be conjugated with synthetic biomaterials. Hence, hybrid scaffolds comprising both advantages of synthetic polymers and ECM derivatives can be considered a robust vehicle for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Current clinical approaches to treat irradiation-induced salivary gland hypofunction are ineffective. We previously reported that adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC)-based therapy ameliorates damaged salivary gland function in mice and that the effects were enhanced when the therapy was co-administrated with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). We examined the feasibility of ADSC transdifferentiation into salivary gland acinar-like cells (SGALCs) and analyzed the potential of PRF to promote the transdifferentiation process in vitro. Salivary gland cells (SGCs) and ADSCs were indirectly co-cultured using Transwell inserts, and increasing concentrations of PRF-conditioned medium were applied to the co-culture system. The expression of α-amylase and AQP-5 were used to evaluate ADSC transdifferentiation. Notably, on day 7, 14, and 21, expression of both α-amylase and AQP-5 were detected in the co-cultured ADSCs. Additionally, PRF increased α-amylase and AQP-5 levels in ADSCs that were co-cultured for 7 days. These data demonstrate that ADSCs have the potential to transdifferentiate into SGALCs and that PRF can promote the transdifferentiation process. Therefore, these data reveal a possible mechanism to treat irradiation-induced salivary gland hypofunction and have translational medicine implications.

Abstract
The pluripotency of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) makes them appropriate for tissue repair and wound healing. Owing to the repair properties of autologous platelet-rich gel (APG), which is based on easily accessible blood platelets, its clinical use has been increasingly recognized by physicians. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of combined treatment with ADSCs and APG on sciatic nerve regeneration after electrical injury. To facilitate the differentiation of ADSCs, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) was overexpressed in ADSCs by lentivirus transfection. GDNF-ADSCs were mingled with APG gradient concentrations, and in vitro, cell proliferation and differentiation were examined with 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine staining and immunofluorescence. A rat model was established by exposing the sciatic nerve to an electrical current of 220 V for 3 seconds. Rat hind-limb motor function and sciatic nerve regeneration were subsequently evaluated. Rat ADSCs were characterized by high expression of CD90 and CD105, with scant expression of CD34 and CD45. We found that GDNF protein expression in ADSCs was elevated after Lenti-GDNF transfection. In GDNF-ADSCs-APG cultures, GDNF was increasingly produced while tissue growth factor-β was reduced as incubation time was increased. ADSC proliferation was augmented and neuronal nuclei (NeuN) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression were upregulated in GDNF-ADSCs-APG. In addition, limb motor function and nerve axon growth were improved after GDNF-ADSCs-APG treatment. In conclusion, our study demonstrates the combined effect of ADSCs and APG in peripheral nerve regeneration and may lead to treatments that benefit patients with electrical injuries.

Abstract
Strategies based on growth factor (GF) delivery have attracted considerable attention in tissue engineering applications. Among different GFs, transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) is considered to be a potent factor for inducing chondrogenesis. In the present study, an expression cassette encoding the TGF-β1 protein was prepared and transfected into the SP2/0-Ag14 cell line. The confocal microscopy of the transfected cells was performed to confirm the correct transfection process. The expression and in vitro release kinetics of the recombinant TGF-β1 were assessed by western blot analysis and ELISA, respectively. Moreover, the biological activity of the expressed protein was compared with that of a commercially available product. The chondrogenic effects of the sustained release of the recombinant TGF-β1 in an in vitro co-culture system were evaluated using a migration assay and real-time PCR. Results of confocal microscopy confirmed the successful transfection of the vector-encoding TGF-β1 protein into the SP2/0-Ag14 cells. The bioactivity of the produced protein was in the range of the commercial product. The sustained release of the TGF-β1 protein via SP2/0-Ag14 cells encapsulated in hydrogels encouraged the migration of adipose-derived MSCs. In addition, the expression analysis of chondrogenesis-related genes revealed that the pretreatment of encapsulated Ad-MSCs cells in alginate sulfate hydrogels through their exposure to the sustained release of TGF-β1 is an efficient approach before transplantation of cells into the body.

Abstract
Due to the restricted intrinsic capacity of resident chondrocytes to regenerate the lost cartilage postinjury, stem cell-based therapies have been proposed as a novel therapeutic approach for cartilage repair. Moreover, stem cell-based therapies using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been used successfully in preclinical and clinical settings. Despite these promising reports, the exact mechanisms underlying stem cell-mediated cartilage repair remain uncertain. Stem cells can contribute to cartilage repair via chondrogenic differentiation, via immunomodulation, or by the production of paracrine factors and extracellular vesicles. But before novel cell-based therapies for cartilage repair can be introduced into the clinic, rigorous testing in preclinical animal models is required. Preclinical models used in regenerative cartilage studies include murine, lapine, caprine, ovine, porcine, canine, and equine models, each associated with its specific advantages and limitations. This review presents a summary of recent in vitro data and from in vivo preclinical studies justifying the use of MSCs and iPSCs in cartilage tissue engineering. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing small and large animals will be discussed, while also describing suitable outcome measures for evaluating cartilage repair.

Abstract
Current tissue regenerative strategies rely mainly on tissue repair by transplantation of the synthetic/natural implants. However, limitations of the existing strategies have increased the demand for tissue engineering approaches. Appropriate cell source, effective cell modification, and proper supportive matrices are three bases of tissue engineering. Selection of appropriate methods for cell stimulation, scaffold synthesis, and tissue transplantation play a definitive role in successful tissue engineering. Although the variety of the players are available, but proper combination and functional synergism determine the practical efficacy. Hence, in this review, a comprehensive view of tissue engineering and its different aspects are investigated.

Adipose-derived stem cell sheet encapsulated construct of micro-porous decellularized cartilage debris and hydrogel for cartilage defect repair. Med Hypotheses 2017; 109:111-113.

Abstract
Challenges of repairing injuries and damage to the cartilage still remain in orthopedics. The characteristics of cartilage structure, especially avascular, make it a limited capacity of self-renewal. Articular cartilage defect or damage result from various causes will lead to degenerative osteoarthritis (OA). Surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment can temporarily alleviate symptoms to some extent but can't fundamentally restore the normal structure and function of cartilage, and therefore give rise to progressive degeneration. Autologous or allogeneic cartilage transplantation has been employed to the treatment of osteoarthritis for years. Nevertheless, the major deficiency of cartilage grafting is the inability and insufficiency to repair large cartilage defect. Implants are also unable to integrate with native tissue well. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) can be easily isolated from subcutaneous fat tissues and harvest as intact cell sheets containing extracellular matrix (ECM), intercellular connect, ion channel, growth factor receptors, nexin and other important cell surface proteins by means of temperature-responsive culture dish (TCD). A cell sheet can provide a large amount of extracellular matrix, fibronectin, and cells contributing to the integration of cartilage. Decellularized extracellular matrix (DECM) of cartilage debris with excellent cell affinity and signal transduction is capable of driving cartilage homeostasis and regeneration. Appropriate decellularization process would remove cellular remnants of cartilage debris, keep the mechanical properties, and avoid the adverse immune response of allografts effectively. Micro-porous cartilage debris conduces to cell migration and angiogenesis. The cell-round shape of adipose-derived stem cells cultured in the three-dimensional (3D) system provided by hydrogel is more susceptible to chondrogenic stimulation and prevents it from fibroblast-like phenotypic conversion. We hypothesize that adipose-derived stem cell sheet encapsulated construct of micro-porous decellularized cartilage debris and hydrogel can effectively promote regeneration of cartilage defect. The construct of decellularized cartilage debris and hydrogel provide a favorable microenvironment for stem cells. Adipose-derived stem cells sheet supply fibronectin, collagen, and cells contributing to integration and regeneration of cartilage restore. Moreover, the constructs can be shaped and fabricated according to the configuration of target defect, especially in osteoarthritis, which is promising for clinical application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present investigation is to conduct a systematic review of the literature to review the clinical results of platelet rich plasma (PRP) and mesenchymal stem cell treatments (MSC) (biologics) for articular cartilage lesions and osteoarthritis of the knee. METHODS A search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases was performed to identify studies involving biologic therapy for osteoarthritis or osteochondral defects. Only Level I-III clinical trials with at least 3-month follow-up were included. Outcome data was gathered on any patient-completed surveys, 2nd look arthroscopy, follow-up imaging, biopsy/histology results, and any adverse effects of treatment. RESULTS Thirty-three articles met our inclusion criteria. There was a total of 21 PRP studies in the study. All PRP studies showed clinical improvement with PRP therapies in outcomes surveys measuring patient satisfaction, pain, and function. Two studies reported no significant difference in improvement compared to hyaluronic acid (HA). Similarly, the 7/9 MSC studies showed improvement. One study found BM-MSC implantation was not significantly superior to matrix assisted chondrocyte implantation (MACI), while one reported peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) did not significantly improve outcomes over HA. Of the three studies looking at a combination of MSC/PRP, two found MSC/PRP combination did not improve outcomes compared to MSC or PRP therapy alone. The one PRP study that had a 2nd look arthroscopy reported increases cartilage regeneration with PRP. All 8 MSC studies with follow-up MRI and all 7 MSC studies with 2nd look arthroscopy showed improvement in cartilage regeneration in terms of coverage, fill of the defect, and/or firmness of the new cartilage. CONCLUSION Current data suggests that, of the two treatments, MSC provides more significant disease modifying effect; however, further research needs to be done to compare these two treatments and determine if there is a synergetic effect when combined.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the performance of loading naringin composite scaffolds and its effects on repair of osteochondral defects. Methods The loading naringin and unloading naringin sustained release microspheres were prepared by W/O/W method; with the materials of the attpulgite and the collagen type I, the loading naringin, unloading naringin, and loading transforming growth factor β 1 (TGF-β 1) osteochondral composite scaffolds were constructed respectively by "3 layers sandwich method". The effect of sustained-release of loading naringin microspheres, the morphology of the composite scaffolds, and the biocompatibility were evaluated respectively by releasing in vitro, scanning electron microscope, and cell counting kit 8. Forty Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into groups A, B, C, and D, 10 rabbits each group. After a osteochondral defect of 4.5 mm in diameter and 4 mm in depth was made in the intercondylar fossa of two femurs. Defect was not repaired in group A (blank control), and defect was repaired with unloading naringin composite scaffolds (negative control group), loading naringin composite scaffolds (experimental group), and loading TGF-β 1 composite scaffolds (positive control group) in groups B, C, and D respectively. At 3 and 6 months after repair, the intercondylar fossa was harvested for the general, HE staining, and toluidine blue staining to observe the repair effect. Western blot was used to detect the expression of collagen type II in the new cartilage. Results Loading naringin microspheres had good effect of sustained-release; the osteochondral composite scaffolds had good porosity; the cell proliferation rate on loading naringin composite scaffold was increased significantly when compared with unloading naringin scaffold ( P<0.05). General observation revealed that defect range of groups C and D was reduced significantly when compared with groups A and B at 3 months after repair; at 6 months after repair, defects of group C were covered by new cartilage, and new cartilage well integrated with the adjacent cartilage in group D. The results of histological staining revealed that defects were filled with a small amount of fibrous tissue in groups A and B, and a small amount of new cartilage in groups C and D at 3 months after repair; new cartilage of groups C and D was similar to normal cartilage, but defects were filled with a large amount of fibrous tissue in groups A and B at 6 months after repair. The expression of collagen type II in groups C and D was significantly higher than that in groups A and B ( P<0.05), but no significant difference was found between groups C and D ( P>0.05). Conclusion Loading naringin composite scaffolds have good biocompatibility and effect in repair of rabbit articular osteochondral defects.

Abstract
OIC-A006 (BMPs osteogenesis compounds), can stimulate bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells ALP, OPN, OC, Cbfal expression. To stimulate new bone formation in the body. We postulate different amounts of drug microspheres on the PLGA/β-CPT scaffold can produce the effects on performance and sustained release characteristics. In this paper, through adding different amount of carrier drug microsphere, three concentrations scaffolds which are 12.5, 18.75 and 25 μmol/L are prepared by adding different amounts of drug-loaded microspheres. Hereafter called OICM/CPT-200, OICM/CPT-300, OICM/CPT-400. We implant them in rat femur diameter 3 mm depth of 3 mm hole for eight weeks. The degradation, microsphere, delivery properties, with X-ray, micro-CT and histology are tested. Results show that the contain carrier drug microsphere scaffolds become radiopaque, and the gaps between the scaffold and radial cut ends are often invisible. This preliminary study reveals that different carrier drug microsphere has a corresponding effect the performance of stent body, OICM/CPT – 200 scaffolds induction effect is best. Illustrates that the low concentration load OIC-A006 microspheres can promote bone healing, and high concentration of OIC-A006 micro ball is played a inhibitory effect on bone healing process.

The effects of lactate and acid on articular chondrocytes function: Implications for polymeric cartilage scaffold design. Acta Biomater 2016; 42:329-340. [PMID: 27345139 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2016.06.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2016] [Revised: 06/08/2016] [Accepted: 06/22/2016] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and poly-l-lactate acid (PLLA) are biodegradable polymers widely utilized as scaffold materials for cartilage tissue engineering. Their acid degradation products have been widely recognized as being detrimental to cell function. However, the biological effects of lactate, rather than lactic acid, on chondrocytes have never been investigated. This is the major focus of this study. The amounts of lactate and the pH value (acid) of the PLGA and PLLA degradation medium were measured. The effects of PLGA and PLLA degradation medium, as well as different lactate concentrations and timing of exposure on chondrocytes proliferation and cartilage-specific matrix synthesis were investigated by various techniques including global gene expression profiling and gene knockdown experiments. It was shown that PLGA and PLLA degradation medium differentially regulated chondrocyte proliferation and matrix synthesis. Acidic pH caused by lactate inhibited chondrocyte proliferation and matrix synthesis. The effect of lactate on chondrocyte matrix synthesis was both time and dose dependent. A lactate concentration of 100mM and exposure duration of 8h significantly enhanced matrix synthesis. Lactate could also inhibit expression of cartilage matrix degradation genes in osteoarthritic chondrocytes, such as the major aggrecanase ADAMTS5, whilst promoting matrix synthesis simultaneously. Pulsed addition of lactate was shown to be more efficient in promoting COL2A1 expression. Global gene expression data and gene knock down experiments demonstrated that lactate promote matrix synthesis through up-regulation of HIF1A. These observed differential biological effects of lactate on chondrocytes would have implications for the future design of polymeric cartilage scaffolds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Lactic acid is a widely used substrate for polymers synthesis, PLGA and PLLA in particular. Although physical and biological modifications have been made on these polymers to make them be better cartilage scaffolds, little concern has been given on the biological effect of lactic acid, the main degradation product of these polymers, on chondrocytes. Our finding illustrates the differential biological function of lactate and acid on chondrocytes matrix synthesis. These results can facilitate future design of lactate polymers-based cartilage scaffolds.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the therapeutic effect of adipose-derived regenerative cell (ADRC) administration on tendon-bone healing in a rabbit anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction model. METHODS ACL reconstruction with semitendinosus tendon autograft was performed in the right knees of adult white rabbits. Eighty rabbits were divided into 2 groups: the treatment group, in which the graft was coated with ADRCs mixed in a fibrin glue carrier during surgery, and the control group, in which the graft was coated with fibrin glue only. At 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively, 8 rabbits were killed in each group. Three were used for histologic evaluation at the tendon-bone interface and 5 for biomechanical examination. RESULTS On histologic analysis, chondroid cells appeared more orderly and more regular in size and shape and Sharpey-like fibers, which connected the tendon graft and bone tissue, appeared earlier in ADRC-treated tissues than in control tissues. On biomechanical analysis, the ultimate failure load in the ADRC-treated group was significantly greater than that in the control group at 2 weeks (29.5 ± 7.2 N v 20.9 ± 2.7 N, P = .016) and 4 weeks (32.3 ± 3.9 N v 22.8 ± 5.4 N, P = .016). Stiffness was significantly higher in the ADRC-treated group than in the control group at 6 weeks (21.7 ± 5.9 N/mm v 12.6 ± 4.9 N/mm, P = .037). Although the ultimate failure load and stiffness of the ADRC-treated limbs were higher than those of the limbs in the control group at 8 and 12 weeks, these differences were not significant. CONCLUSIONS Local administration of ADRCs promoted the early healing process at the tendon-bone junction, both histologically and mechanically, in a rabbit ACL reconstruction model. CLINICAL RELEVANCE ADRCs could be used to enhance graft healing in ACL reconstruction.

Abstract
Recently, cartilage tissue engineering (CTE) attracts increasing attention in cartilage defect repair. In this work, kartogenin (KGN), an emerging chondroinductive nonprotein small molecule, was incorporated into a thermogel of poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA-PEG-PLGA) to fabricate an appropriate microenvironment of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for effective cartilage regeneration. More integrative and smoother repaired articular surface, more abundant characteristic glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and collagen II (COL II), and less degeneration of normal cartilage were obtained in the KGN and BMSCs coloaded thermogel group in vivo. In conclusion, the KGN-loaded PLGA-PEG-PLGA thermogel can be utilized as an alternative support for BMSCs to regenerate damaged cartilage in vivo.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can effectively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level and play a critical role in tissue growth, development and regeneration. Our previous studies showed that antler regeneration is a stem cell-based process and antler stem cells reside in the periosteum of a pedicle, the permanent bony protuberance, from which antler regeneration takes place. Antlers are the only mammalian organ that can fully regenerate and hence provide a unique opportunity to identify miRNAs that are involved in organ regeneration. In the present study, we used next generation sequencing technology sequenced miRNAs of the stem cells derived from either the potentiated or the dormant pedicle periosteum. A population of both conserved and 20 deer-specific miRNAs was identified. These conserved miRNAs were derived from 453 homologous hairpin precursors across 88 animal species, and were further grouped into 167 miRNA families. Among them, the miR-296 is embryonic stem cell-specific. The potentiation process resulted in the significant regulation (>±2 Fold, q value <0.05) of conserved miRNAs; 8 miRNA transcripts were down- and 6 up-regulated. Several GO biology processes and the Wnt, MAPK and TGF-beta signaling pathways were found to be up-regulated as part of antlerogenic stem cell potentiation process. This research has identified miRNAs that are associated either with the dormant or the potentiated antler stem cells and identified some target miRNAs for further research into their role played in mammalian organ regeneration.
