Unveiling Mesenchymal Stem Cells' Regenerative Potential in Clinical Applications: Insights in miRNA and lncRNA Implications. Cells 2023; 12:2559. [PMID: 37947637 PMCID: PMC10649218 DOI: 10.3390/cells12212559] [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: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023] Open
Abstract
It is now widely recognized that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess the capacity to differentiate into a wide array of cell types. Numerous studies have identified the role of lncRNA in the regulation of MSC differentiation. It is important to elucidate the role and interplay of microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the regulation of signalling pathways that govern MSC function. Furthermore, miRNAs and lncRNAs are important clinical for innovative strategies aimed at addressing a wide spectrum of existing and emerging disease. Hence it is important to consider their impact on MSC function and differentiation. Examining the data available in public databases, we have collected the literature containing the latest discoveries pertaining to human stem cells and their potential in both fundamental research and clinical applications. Furthermore, we have compiled completed clinical studies that revolve around the application of MSCs, shedding light on the opportunities presented by harnessing the regulatory potential of miRNAs and lncRNAs. This exploration of the therapeutic possibilities offered by miRNAs and lncRNAs within MSCs unveils exciting prospects for the development of precision therapies and personalized treatment approaches. Ultimately, these advancements promise to augment the efficacy of regenerative strategies and produce positive outcomes for patients. As research in this field continues to evolve, it is imperative to explore and exploit the vast potential of miRNAs and lncRNAs as therapeutic agents. The findings provide a solid basis for ongoing investigations, fuelling the quest to fully unlock the regenerative potential of MSCs.

Cell-binding peptides on the material surface guide stem cell fate of adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. J Mater Chem B 2023; 11:1389-1415.

Abstract
Human cells, especially stem cells, need to communicate and interact with extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, which not only serve as structural components but also guide and support cell fate and properties such as cell adhesion, proliferation, survival and differentiation. The binding of the cells with ECM proteins or ECM-derived peptides via cell adhesion receptors such as integrins activates several signaling pathways that determine the cell fate, morphological change, proliferation and differentiation. The development of synthetic ECM protein-derived peptides that mimic the biological and biochemical functions of natural ECM proteins will benefit academic and clinical application. Peptides derived from or inspired by specific ECM proteins can act as agonists of each ECM protein receptor. Given that most ECM proteins function in cell adhesion via integrin receptors, many peptides have been developed that bind to specific integrin receptors. In this review, we discuss the peptide sequence, immobilization design, reaction method, and functions of several ECM protein-derived peptides. Various peptide sequences derived from mainly ECM proteins, which are used for coating or grafting on dishes, scaffolds, hydrogels, implants or nanofibers, have been developed to improve the adhesion, proliferation or differentiation of stem cells and to culture differentiated cells. This review article will help to inform the optimal choice of ECM protein-derived peptides for the development of scaffolds, implants, hydrogels, nanofibers and 2D cell culture dishes to regulate the proliferation and direct the differentiation of stem cells into specific lineages.

BIOTECHNOL BIOPROC E 2021; 26:165-178.

Abstract
For last two decades, the demand for precisely engineered three-dimensional structures has increased continuously for the developments of biomaterials. With the recent advances in micro- and nano-fabrication techniques, various devices with complex surface geometries have been devised and produced in the pharmaceutical and medical fields for various biomedical applications including drug delivery and biosensors. These advanced biomaterials have been designed to mimic the natural environments of tissues more closely and to enhance the performance for their corresponding biomedical applications. One of the important aspects in the rational design of biomaterials is how to configure the surface of the biomedical devices for better control of the chemical and physical properties of the bioactive surfaces without compromising their bulk characteristics. In this viewpoint, it of critical importance to secure a versatile method to modify the surface of various biomedical devices. Recently, a vapor phase method, termed initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) has emerged as damage-free method highly beneficial for the conformal deposition of various functional polymer films onto many kinds of micro- and nano-structured surfaces without restrictions on the substrate material or geometry, which is not trivial to achieve by conventional solution-based surface functionalization methods. With proper structural design, the functional polymer thin film via iCVD can impart required functionality to the biomaterial surfaces while maintaining the fine structure thereon. We believe the iCVD technique can be not only a valuable approach towards fundamental cell-material studies, but also of great importance as a platform technology to extend to other prospective biomaterial designs and material interface modifications for biomedical applications.

Abstract
In vivo, stem cells reside in a three-dimensional (3D) extracellular microenvironment in which complicated biophysical and biochemical factors regulate their behaviors. Biomimicking of the stem cell-matrix interactions is an ideal approach for controlling the stem cell fate. This study investigates the effects of the incorporation of cell-adhesive ligands in 3D self-assembling peptide hydrogels to modulate stem cell survival, proliferation, maintenance of stemness, and osteogenic differentiation. The results show that the composite hydrogels were non-cytotoxic and effective for maintaining human amniotic mesenchymal stem cell (hAMSC) survival, proliferation and phenotypic characterization. The expression levels of pluripotent markers were also upregulated in the composite hydrogels. Under inductive media conditions, mineral deposition and mRNA expression levels of osteogenic genes of hAMSCs were enhanced. The increasing expression of integrin α- and β-subunits for hAMSCs indicates that the ligand-integrin interactions may modulate the cell fate for hAMSCs in composite hydrogels.

Fabrication of cell penetrating peptide-conjugated bacterial cellulose nanofibrils with remarkable skin adhesion and water retention performance. Int J Pharm 2021; 600:120476.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose nanofibrils (BCNFs), possessing excellent biocompatibility as well as hygroscopicity, are receiving high interest as a biomaterial for biomedical and healthcare treatments, since they exert various interactions with tissues after surface modification with biochemicals such as peptides, proteins, and catechols. Herein, we report a BCNF-based skin adhesion system, wherein cell penetrating peptide (CPP)-conjugated BCNFs were employed to enhance the attraction to the skin under wet conditions. For this, we conjugated Bac7, a type of CPP, with the carboxylate of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-oxidized BCNFs. We showed that Bac7-conjugated BCNFs exhibited both hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions with the cell membrane, which eventually led to the remarkable adhesion against the skin surface. Furthermore, we demonstrated that such tailored skin attraction played a key role in improving skin water retention.
