Abstract
The regeneration of periodontal bone defects continues to be an essential therapeutic concern in dental biomaterials. Numerous biomaterials have been utilized in this sector so far. However, the immune response and vascularity in defect regions may be disregarded when evaluating the effectiveness of biomaterials for bone repair. Among several regenerative treatments, the most recent technique of in situ tissue engineering stands out for its ability to replicate endogenous restorative processes by combining scaffold with particular growth factors. Regenerative medicine solutions that combine biomaterials/scaffolds, cells, and bioactive substances have attracted significant interest, particularly for bone repair and regeneration. Dental stem cells (DSCs) share the same progenitor and immunomodulatory properties as other types of MSCs, and because they are easily isolable, they are regarded as desirable therapeutic agents in regenerative dentistry. Recent research has demonstrated that DSCs sown on newly designed synthetic bio-material scaffolds preserve their proliferative capacity while exhibiting increased differentiation and immuno-suppressive capabilities. As researchers discovered how short peptide sequences modify the adhesion and proliferative capacities of scaffolds by activating or inhibiting conventional osteogenic pathways, the scaffolds became more effective at priming MSCs. In this review, the many components of tissue engineering applied to bone engineering will be examined, and the impact of biomaterials on periodontal regeneration and bone cellular biology/molecular genetics will be addressed and updated.

Autologous Platelet Lysate Is an Alternative to Fetal Bovine Serum for Canine Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Culture and Differentiation. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:2655. [PMID: 37627446 PMCID: PMC10451755 DOI: 10.3390/ani13162655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
The use of fetal bovine serum (FBS) in regenerative medicine raises serious ethical and scientific concerns. We have cultured and differentiated the canine mesenchymal stem cells (cMSCs) in five different media combinations of autologous platelet lysate (A-PL) and FBS; consisting of 0% A-PL and 10% FBS (M-1), 2.5% A-PL and 7.5% FBS (M-2), 5% A-PL and 5% FBS (M-3), 7.5% A-PL and 2.5% FBS (M-4), and 10% A-PL and 0% FBS (M-5). The cMSCs were evaluated for their doubling time, differentiation efficiency, and expression of CD73, CD90, CD105, and PDGFRα. The mRNA expression of NT5E, THY1, ENG, PPARγ, FABP4, FAS, SP7, BGLAP, and SPP1 was also assessed. The results indicated non-significant differences in cellular proliferation/viability; positive expression of surface markers, and PDGFRα with substantial adipo/osteogenic differentiation. The expression of adipogenic (PPARγ, FABP4, FAS), and osteogenic (SP7, BGLAP, SPP1) genes were higher (p < 0.05) in the M5 group. In conclusion, A-PL in cMSCs culture did not negatively affect cellular proliferation and viability but also enhanced their genetic potential for multilineage differentiation. Our results indicate that A-PL can be used as an alternative for FBS to develop potent cMSCs under good manufacturing practice protocol for regenerative medicine.

Stem Cell Res Ther 2023; 14:113. [PMID: 37118830 PMCID: PMC10148410 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-023-03339-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is a reproductive dysfunction disease characterized by endometrial fibrosis, with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. Our previous studies confirmed that menstrual blood-derived stromal cells (MenSCs) effectively attenuated endometrial fibrosis in an animal model of IUA mainly through exosomes. This therapeutic effect can be enhanced by platelet-rich plasma (PRP), in which PDGFBB is an abundant growth factor. Therefore, we aimed to compare the effects of PRP and PDGFBB on the biological activities of MenSCs in vitro, and to further investigate the molecular mechanism of MenSCs-derived exosomes in alleviating endometrial fibrosis. METHODS MenSCs were isolated for in vitro functional assays to examine the viability, migration, and stemness of MenSCs. Endometrial stromal cells (EndoSCs) were treated with 50 ug/ml of MenSCs-derived exosomes, obtained by differential ultracentrifugation extraction. The molecular mechanisms by which PDGFBB improves MenSCs and exosomes alleviate EndoSCs fibrosis were then explored using immunofluorescence, western blot, and co-immunoprecipitation. RESULTS Both 100 ng/ml PDGFBB and 10% activated PRP promoted the proliferation, increased the S phase of cell cycle, and inhibited apoptosis of MenSCs in vitro. Compared with PRP, PDGFBB significantly promoted MenSCs migration. All of these effects were inhibited by sorafenib, a PDGFR-β inhibitor. PRP and PDGFBB activated AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway in MenSCs and increased the expression of P65 and OCT4. Moreover, pretreatment of PDGFBB did not increase the secretion of MenSCs but significantly increased the anti-fibrosis effects of MenSCs-derived exosomes on IUA-EndoSCs. MenSCs-derived exosomes attenuated SMAD3 phosphorylation and increased YAP ubiquitination, which reduced the binding of YAP/SMAD3. Pretreatment with PDGFBB amplified this effect. CONCLUSIONS In summary, PDGFBB could improve the biological functions of MenSCs via AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway, including viability, migration, and stemness. Our results indicated that PDGFBB amplified MenSCs-derived exosomes to attenuate endometrial fibrosis by inhibiting YAP activity, revealing a novel mechanism by which PRP enhanced the ability of MenSCs to repair tissue injury and providing a potential option for improving stem cell efficacy in IUA.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and fibrosis foster the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diabetes. Atorvastatin protects against cardiovascular diseases in diabetes patients. However, the mechanisms are not completely known. This study evaluated the impact of atorvastatin on vascular and myocardial oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis in a model of diabetes. Male Wistar rats were assigned into four groups; control rats, atorvastatin-treated rats (Ator, 40 mg/kg given by oral gavage for 6 weeks), diabetes rats (DM, single IP 40 mg/kg streptozotocin), and diabetes rats treated with atorvastatin (DM + Ator). Serum and cardiac inflammatory, oxidant, and fibrotic markers were measured. Cardiac fibrosis was evaluated by Masson trichrome stain. Streptozotocin-induced diabetes as documented by the marked elevation in blood glucose. Levels of oxidant biomarkers of serum and cardiac nitrite, cardiac nitrate, and cardiac thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were increased in the DM group. The use of atorvastatin reduced nitrite and TBARS levels. Serum and cardiac inflammatory factors of endothelin-1 (ET-1) were elevated in the DM group, and the use of atorvastatin reduced these increases. Cardiac C-reactive protein tended to increase in the DM group and the use of atorvastatin reduced its level. Cardiac interstitial fibrosis was increased in the DM group with a parallel increase in the platelet-derived growth factor level. The use of atorvastatin reduced cardiac fibrosis. Diabetes was associated with an increase in serum and/or myocardial markers of oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis. The use of atorvastatin reduced cardiac interstitial fibrosis and decreased cardiac oxidant and inflammatory biomarkers.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic infectious oral disease with a high prevalence rate in the world, and is a major cause of tooth loss. Nowadays, people have realized that the local microenvironment that includes proteins, cytokines, and extracellular matrix has a key influence on the functions of host immune cells and periodontal ligament stem cells during a chronic infectious disease such as periodontitis. The above pathological process of periodontitis will lead to a defect of periodontal tissues. Through the application of biomaterials, biological agents, and stem cells therapy, guided tissue regeneration (GTR) makes it possible to reconstruct healthy periodontal ligament tissue after local inflammation control. To date, substantial advances have been made in periodontal guided tissue regeneration. However, the process of periodontal remodeling experiences complex microenvironment changes, and currently periodontium regeneration still remains to be a challenging feat. In this review, we summarized the main challenges in each stage of periodontal regeneration, and try to put forward appropriate biomaterial treatment mechanisms or potential tissue engineering strategies that provide a theoretical basis for periodontal tissue engineering regeneration research.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) can migrate to tissues and cells of the body, as well as to agglomerate, which reduces the effectiveness of their use for the antimicrobial protection of the skin. Graphene oxide (GO), with a super-thin flake structure, can be a carrier of AgNP that stabilizes their movement without inhibiting their antibacterial properties. Considering that the human skin is often the first contact with antimicrobial agent, the aim of the study was to assess whether the application of the complex of AgNP and GO is biocompatible with the skin model in in vitro studies. The conducted tests were performed in accordance with the criteria set in OECD TG439. AgNP-GO complex did not influence the genotoxicity and metabolism of the tissue. Furthermore, the complex reduced the pro-inflammatory properties of AgNP by reducing expression of IP-10 (interferon gamma-induced protein 10), IL-3 (interleukin 3), and IL-4 (interleukin 4) as well as MIP1β (macrophage inflammatory protein 1β) expressed in the GO group. Moreover, it showed a positive effect on the micro- and ultra-structure of the skin model. In conclusion, the synergistic effect of AgNP and GO as a complex can activate the process of epidermis renewal, which makes it suitable for use as a material for skin contact.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease, commonly occurs in the elderly population, causing a significant medical and economic burden to the aging society worldwide. At present, there are few effective methods that achieve satisfactory clinical results in the treatment of PD. Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) and platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs) are important neurotrophic factors that are expressed in various cell types. Their unique structures allow for specific binding that can effectively regulate vital functions in the nervous system. In this review, we summarized the possible mechanisms by which PDGFs/PDGFRs regulate the occurrence and development of PD by affecting oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, protein folding and aggregation, Ca2+ homeostasis, and cell neuroinflammation. These modes of action mainly depend on the type and distribution of PDGFs in different nerve cells. We also summarized the possible clinical applications and prospects for PDGF in the treatment of PD, especially in genetic treatment. Recent advances have shown that PDGFs have contradictory roles within the central nervous system (CNS). Although they exert neuroprotective effects through multiple pathways, they are also associated with the disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Our recommendations based on our findings include further investigation of the contradictory neurotrophic and neurotoxic effects of the PDGFs acting on the CNS.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to summarize evidence for the use of adipose stem cell (ASC) injections in the treatment of rotator cuff tears (RCT) and identify future areas of study. A thorough literature search was performed to identify studies investigating the use of ASC injections in the treatment of RCTs. Among animal trials, it is unclear whether ASCs are of benefit for rotator cuff repair. In clinical trials, ASC injection may reduce retear rate with otherwise equivocal clinical outcomes. Although ASC injection may be safe, the literature does not provide a clear consensus as to the efficacy of ASC injections, nor does it delineate which patients would benefit most from this treatment.

Abstract
The heterogeneity of hierarchical tissues requires designing multipart engineered constructs as suitable tissue replacements. Herein, the incorporation of platelet lysate (PL) within an electrospun fiber core is proposed aiming for the fabrication of functionally graded 3D scaffolds for heterotypic tissues regeneration, such as tendon-to-bone interfaces. First, anisotropic yarns (A-Yarns) and isotropic threads with nanohydroxyapatite (I-Threads/PL@nHAp) are fabricated to recreate the tendon- and bone-microstructures and both incorporated with PL using emulsion electrospinning for a sustained and local delivery of growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines. Biological performance using human adipose-derived stem cells demonstrates that A-Yarns/PL induce a higher expression of scleraxis, a tenogenic-marker, while in I-Threads/PL@nHAp, higher alkaline phosphatase activity and matrix mineralization suggest an osteogenic commitment without the need for biochemical supplementation compared to controls. As a proof-of-concept, functional 3D gradient scaffolds are fabricated using a weaving technique, resulting in 3D textured hierarchical constructs with gradients in composition and topography. Additionally, the precise delivery of bioactive cues together with in situ biophysical features guide the commitment into a phenotypic gradient exhibiting chondrogenic and osteochondrogenic profiles in the interface of scaffolds. Overall, a promising patch solution for the regeneration of tendon-to-bone tissue interface through the fabrication of PL-functional 3D gradient constructs is demonstrated.

Surface engineering of 3D-printed scaffolds with minerals and a pro-angiogenic factor for vascularized bone regeneration. Acta Biomater 2022; 140:730-744.

Abstract
Scaffolds functionalized with biomolecules have been developed for bone regeneration but inducing the regeneration of complex structured bone with neovessels remains a challenge. For this study, we developed three-dimensional printed scaffolds with bioactive surfaces coated with minerals and platelet-derived growth factor. The minerals were homogeneously deposited on the surface of the scaffold using 0.01 M NaHCO3 with epigallocatechin gallate in simulated body fluid solution (M2). The M2 scaffold demonstrated enhanced mineral coating amount per scaffold with a greater compressive modulus than the others which used different concentration of NaHCO3. Then, we immobilized PDGF on the mineralized scaffold (M2/P), which enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of human adipose derived stem cells in vitro and promoted the secretion of pro-angiogenic factors. Cells cultured in M2/P showed remarkable ratio of osteocalcin- and osteopontin-positive nuclei, and M2/P-derived medium induced endothelial cells to form tubule structures. Finally, the implanted M2/P scaffolds onto mouse calvarial defects had regenerated bone in 80.8 ± 9.8% of the defect area with the arterioles were formed, after 8 weeks. In summary, our scaffold, which composed of minerals and pro-angiogenic growth factor, could be used therapeutically to improve the regeneration of bone with a highly vascularized structure. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Surface engineered scaffolds have been developed for bone regeneration but inducing the volumetric regeneration of bone with neovessels remains a challenge. In here, we developed 3D printed scaffolds with bioactive surfaces coated with bio-minerals and platelet-derived growth factors. We proved that the 0.01 M NaHCO3 with polyphenol in simulated body fluid solution enhanced the deposition of bio-minerals and even distribution on the surface of scaffold. The in vitro studies demonstrated that the attached cells on the bioactive surface showed the enhanced osteogenic differentiation and secretion of pro-angiogenic factors. Finally, the scaffold with bioactive surface not only improved the regenerated volume of bone tissues but also increased neovessel formation after in vivo implantation onto mouse calvarial defect.

Abstract
Tooth ankylosis is a pathological condition of periodontal ligament (PDL) restoration after tooth replantation. Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) has been proposed as a promising factor for preventing tooth ankylosis. Using rat tooth replantation model, we investigated whether PDGF-BB accelerates the repair of PDL after tooth replantation without ankylosis, and its molecular mechanisms. In PDGF-BB pretreated replanted teeth (PDGF-BB group), ankylosis was markedly reduced and functionally organized PDL collagen fibers were restored; the mechanical strength of the healing PDL was restored to an average of 76% of that in non-replanted normal teeth at 21 days. The numbers of PDGF-Rβ- and BrdU-positive cells in the periodontal tissues of the PDGF-BB group were greater than those of atelocollagen pretreated replanted teeth (AC group). Moreover, in the PDGF-BB group, the periodontal tissues had fewer osteocalcin-positive cells and decreased number of nuclear β-catenin-positive cells compared to those in the AC group. In vitro analyses showed that PDGF-BB increased the proliferation and migration of human periodontal fibroblasts. PDGF-BB downregulated mRNA expressions of RUNX2 and ALP, and inhibited upregulatory effects of Wnt3a on β-catenin, AXIN2, RUNX2, COL1A1, and ALP mRNA expressions. These findings indicate that in tooth replantation, topical PDGF-BB treatment enhances cell proliferation and migration, and inhibits canonical Wnt signaling activation in bone-tooth ankylosis, leading to occlusal loading of the PDL tissues and subsequent functional restoration of the healing PDL. This suggests a possible clinical application of PDGF-BB to reduce ankylosis after tooth replantation and promote proper regeneration of PDL.

Vet Sci 2021; 8:vetsci8100210. [PMID: 34679040 PMCID: PMC8540583 DOI: 10.3390/vetsci8100210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2021] [Revised: 09/19/2021] [Accepted: 09/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Periodontal disease is the most common oral disease in dogs. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is widely utilized to facilitate soft and hard tissue healing and has been proposed in periodontal healing in small animal treatment. However, the quality and amount of autologous PRF is compromised in animals with systemic diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of xenologous bubaline blood-derived PRF (bPRF) on periodontal tissue healing in canine periodontal defects. Split-mouth design was employed in twenty dogs diagnosed with periodontal disease. The defects were divided randomly into two groups: the open-flap debridement (OFD)-treated group and the OFD with bPRF (OFD+bPRF) application group. Results demonstrated that gingival index and periodontal probing depth decreased significantly in the OFD+bPRF group compared with those treated with OFD alone. Application of bPRF in periodontal defects also promoted fibrous tissue formation, as confirmed by the marked increase in fibrosis score. bPRF application significantly increased COL1A1 and PDGFB mRNA levels at day 14 compared with the baseline. Taking this evidence together, bPRF provided a favorable therapeutic modality in canine periodontal defects. bPRF could be an alternative biomaterial for the treatment of periodontal defects in dogs.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease worldwide, caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaque, which can lead to the destruction of periodontal supporting tissue and eventually tooth loss. The goal of periodontal treatment is to remove pathogenic factors and control the periodontal inflammation. However, the complete regeneration of periodontal supporting tissue is still a major challenge according to current technology. Tissue engineering recovers the injured tissue through seed cells, bio-capable scaffold and bioactive factors. Three-D-bioprinting is an emerging technology in regeneration medicine/tissue engineering, because of its high accuracy and high efficiency, providing a new strategy for periodontal regeneration. This article represents the materials of 3D bioprinting in periodontal regeneration from three aspects: oral seed cell, bio-scaffold and bio-active factors.

The platelet derived growth factor BB promotes osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Arch Oral Biol 2021; 129:105162. [PMID: 34087681 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2021.105162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2021] [Revised: 05/18/2021] [Accepted: 05/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the role of platelet derived growth factor BB in the regulation of cell cycle, migration and differentiation of stem cells. DESIGN The gene was overexpressed in periodontal ligament stem cells using lentiviral vectors. Normal stem cells and empty lentiviral vectors-transfected were used as controls. Real time-PCR, western blotting, Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, cell scratch test, Alkaline phosphatase activity assay, cell cycle analyses were conducted to assess the biological properties of stem cells. In addition, the effect of platelet derived growth factor BB on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway were assessed by western blotting and immunofluorescent staining. RESULTS The gene was successfully overexpressed in periodontal ligament stem cells. The Cell Counting Kit-8, scratch test and cell cycle experiments proved that platelet derived growth factor BB promoted stem cells proliferation, migration and cell cycle progression. The Real time-PCR results showed that the Osterix (OSX) and Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP2) genes in the overexpression group were significantly higher than those in the control group, but the Peroxisome Proliferators-activated Receptors (PPARγ) and Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3β (GSK-3β) gene were lower than that in the control group. Western blotting results also indicated that the Collagen Type 1 (COL-1), BMP2, Wnt1 and β-catenin proteins were increased in the overexpression group. In addition, the expression level of β-catenin protein in the cell nuclei was higher than that in the control group. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, overexpression of platelet derived growth factor BB promoted cell proliferation, migration, cell cycle progression and decreased adipogenic differentiation. Furthermore, platelet derived growth factor BB regulated osteogenic differentiation of stem cells through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

PDGF-BB exhibited therapeutic effects on rat model of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw by enhancing angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Bone 2021; 144:115117. [PMID: 31676407 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2019.115117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2019] [Revised: 10/13/2019] [Accepted: 10/21/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
The mechanism and effective treatment of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) are still uncertain. Our previous study revealed that zoledronate (ZOL) preferentially inhibited osteoclasts formation and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) secretion, causing suppression of angiogenesis and osteogenesis in vitro. The present study aimed to elucidate whether PDGF-BB had therapeutic effects on rat model of BRONJ by enhancing angiogenesis and angiogenesis. Firstly, rat model of BRONJ was established by ZOL and dexamethasone administration, followed by teeth extraction. The occurrence of BRONJ was confirmed and detected dead bone formation by maxillae examination, micro-CT scan and HE staining (10/10). Compared to control rats (0/10), both angiogenesis and mature bone formation were suppressed in BRONJ-like rats, evidenced by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for VEGF (P < 0.01), immunohistochemistry of CD31 (P < 0.05) and OCN (P < 0.01). Moreover, in the early stage of bone healing, the number of preosteoclasts (P < 0.001) and PDGF-BB secretion (P < 0.05) were significantly decreased in bisphosphonates-treated rats, along with the declined numbers of microvessels (P < 0.05) and osteoblasts (P < 0.05). In vitro study, CCK8 assay, alizarin red S staining and western blot assay showed that mandible-derived bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) in BRONJ-like rats presented suppressed functions of proliferation, osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Interestingly, recombinant PDGF-BB was able to rescue the impaired functions of BMMSCs derived from BRONJ-like rats at more than 10 ng/ml. Then fibrin sealant with or without recombinant PDGF-BB were tamped into the socket after debridement in BRONJ rats. After 8 weeks, fibrin sealant containing PDGF-BB showed significant therapeutic effects on BRONJ-like rats (bone healing: 8/10 vs 3/10, P < 0.05) with enhancing microvessels and mature bone formation. Our study suggested that the inhibition of angiogenesis and osteogenesis, the potential mechanisms of BRONJ, might partly result from suppression of PDGF-BB secretion in the early stage of bone healing. PDGF-BB local treatment after debridement might avail the healing of BRONJ by increasing angiogenesis and osteogenesis.

Abstract
Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) shows a specific colocalization with limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) in vivo; however, the inherent relationship between SPARC and LESCs is still unclear. This study investigated the effects of SPARC on the maintenance of LESC stemness and corneal wound healing. To test the influence of different concentration of exogenous SPARC on the proliferation of LESCs, cell counting kit-8 assay and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine staining were performed and the results indicated that 1 μg/mL SPARC was the optimum concentration for enhanced LESC proliferation. Compared with a control group, SPARC-treated group showed a higher expression of LESC-positive markers p63α, ABCG-2, and Bmi-1, and a lower level of differentiation marker cytokeratin-3 (CK3), thereby suggesting that SPARC could maintain LESC characteristic phenotype and suppress spontaneous epithelial differentiation in vitro. In vivo, exogenous SPARC accelerated the wound-healing process by both the enhancement of LESC proliferation and promoting the migration of the proliferating cells. However, the intact epithelium impaired this function of SPARC by contact inhibition.

Abstract
Platelet aggregates, such as PRP, PRF, and CGF, have been used alone or in combination with other grafting materials to enhance restoration outcomes. The process for preparing these autografting materials requires two-step centrifugation or specific centrifuges. In this study, we obtained an injectable fibrin scaffold (IFS) rich in growth factors by one-step centrifugation of whole blood from rabbits. The purpose of this study is to introduce some characteristics of IFS. This scaffold was characterized using various techniques, including Masson's trichrome staining, scanning electron microscopy, porosity measurements, and cell counting. The sustained release of growth factors, including PDGF, VEGF, TGF-β1, IGF, FGF, and EGF, was quantified using ELISA assay. The obtained IFS was tested for its effects on cell proliferation, extracellular matrix deposition, and full-thickness skin defect repair. The prepared IFS is characterized by a loose fibrin network structure with white blood cells and platelets that slowly release growth factors and can promote the healing of skin defects via the promotion of cell proliferation, collagen deposition, and tissue revascularization. In addition, its liquid properties and porous structure are conducive to its application as a therapeutic component in tissue engineering.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy has the potential for immunomodulation and enhancement of tissue regeneration. Genetically modified MSCs that over-express specific cytokines, growth factors, or chemokines have shown great promise in pre-clinical studies. In this regard, the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-4 converts pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages into an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype; M2 macrophages mitigate chronic inflammation and enhance osteogenesis by MSC lineage cells. However, exposure to IL-4 prematurely inhibits osteogenesis of MSCs in vitro; furthermore, IL-4 overexpressing MSCs inhibit osteogenesis in vivo during the acute inflammatory period. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB has been shown to enhance osteogenesis of MSCs with a dose-dependent effect. METHODS In this study, we generated a lentiviral vector that produces PDGF-BB under a weak promoter (phosphoglycerate kinase, PGK) and lentiviral vector producing IL-4 under a strong promoter (cytomegalovirus, CMV). We infected MSCs with PDGF-BB and IL-4-producing lentiviral vectors separately or in combination to investigate cell proliferation and viability, protein expression, and the capability for osteogenesis. RESULTS PDGF-BB and IL-4 co-overexpression was observed in the co-infected MSCs and shown to enhance cell proliferation and viability, and osteogenesis compared to IL-4 overexpressing MSCs alone. CONCLUSIONS Overexpression of PDGF-BB together with IL-4 mitigates the inhibitory effect of IL-4 on osteogenesis by IL-4 overexpressing MSCS. PDGF-BB and IL-4 overexpressing MSCs may be a potential strategy to facilitate osteogenesis in scenarios of both acute and chronic inflammation.

Abstract
Periodontal tissue engineering involves a multi-disciplinary approach towards the regeneration of periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone surrounding teeth, whereas bone regeneration specifically applies to ridge reconstruction in preparation for future implant placement, sinus floor augmentation and regeneration of peri-implant osseous defects. Successful periodontal regeneration is based on verifiable cementogenesis on the root surface, oblique insertion of periodontal ligament fibers and formation of new and vital supporting bone. Ultimately, regenerated periodontal and peri-implant support must be able to interface with surrounding host tissues in an integrated manner, withstand biomechanical forces resulting from mastication, and restore normal function and structure. Current regenerative approaches utilized in everyday clinical practice are mainly guided tissue/bone regeneration-based. Although these approaches have shown positive outcomes for small and medium-sized defects, predictability of clinical outcomes is heavily dependent on the defect morphology and clinical case selection. In many cases, it is still challenging to achieve predictable regenerative outcomes utilizing current approaches. Periodontal tissue engineering and bone regeneration (PTEBR) aims to improve the state of patient care by promoting reconstitution of damaged and lost tissues through the use of growth factors and signaling molecules, scaffolds, cells and gene therapy. The present narrative review discusses key advancements in PTEBR including current and future trends in preclinical and clinical research, as well as the potential for clinical translatability.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D)-printed scaffolds have proved to be effective tools for delivering growth factors and cells in bone-tissue engineering. However, delivering spheroids that enhance cellular function remains challenging because the spheroids tend to suffer from low viability, which limits bone regenerationin vivo. Here, we describe a 3D-printed polycaprolactone micro-chamber that can deliver human adipose-derived stem cell spheroids. Anin vitroculture of cells from spheroids in the micro-chamber exhibited greater viability and proliferation compared with cells cultured without the chamber. We coated the surface of the chamber with 500 ng of platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF), and immobilized 50 ng of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) on fragmented fibers, which were incorporated within the spheroids as a new platform for a dual-growth-factor delivery system. The PDGF detached from the chamber within 8 h and the remains were retained on the surface of chamber while the BMP-2 was entrapped by the spheroid. In vitro osteogenic differentiation of the cells from the spheroids in the micro-chamber with dual growth factors enhanced alkaline phosphatase and collagen type 1A expression by factors of 126.7 ± 19.6 and 89.7 ± 0.3, respectively, compared with expression in a micro-chamber with no growth factors. In vivo transplantation of the chambers with dual growth factors into mouse calvarial defects resulted in a 77.0 ± 15.9% of regenerated bone area, while the chamber without growth factors and a defect-only group achieved 7.6 ± 3.9% and 5.0 ± 1.9% of regenerated bone areas, respectively. These findings indicate that a spheroid-loaded micro-chamber supplied with dual growth factors can serve as an effective protein-delivery platform that increases stem-cell functioning and bone regeneration.

They are protein molecules with a relatively low molecular weight and are released by activated platelets. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is one of the GFs of highest amount in human platelets. It is known to stimulate cell proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis, as well as angiogenesis in healthy tissues and neoplasms. However, most of the studies in the literature demonstrate the influence of PDGF on tissue regeneration without revealing its intimate mechanisms of action on different cell types. In the current review we emphasis on the effects of PDGF in order to stimulate various biological processes in wide number of pre-clinical and clinical studies.

RASSF1A inhibits PDGFB-driven malignant phenotypes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells in a YAP1-dependent manner. Cell Death Dis 2020; 11:855. [PMID: 33057010 PMCID: PMC7560678 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-020-03054-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2020] [Revised: 07/28/2020] [Accepted: 07/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a highly aggressive tumor characterized by distant metastasis. Deletion or down-regulation of the tumor suppressor protein ras-association domain family protein1 isoform A (RASSF1A) has been confirmed to be a key event in NPC progression; however, little is known about the effects or underlying mechanism of RASSF1A on the malignant phenotype. In the present study, we observed that RASSF1A expression inhibited the malignant phenotypes of NPC cells. Stable silencing of RASSF1A in NPC cell lines induced self-renewal properties and tumorigenicity in vivo/in vitro and the acquisition of an invasive phenotype in vitro. Mechanistically, RASSF1A inactivated Yes-associated Protein 1 (YAP1), a transcriptional coactivator, through actin remodeling, which further contributed to Platelet Derived Growth Factor Subunit B (PDGFB) transcription inhibition. Treatment with ectopic PDGFB partially increased the malignancy of NPC cells with transient knockdown of YAP1. Collectively, these findings suggest that RASSF1A inhibits malignant phenotypes by repressing PDGFB expression in a YAP1-dependent manner. PDGFB may serve as a potential interest of therapeutic regulators in patients with metastatic NPC.

Paek SC, Min SK, Park JB. Effects of platelet-derived growth factor-BB on cellular morphology and cellular viability of stem cell spheroids composed of bone-marrow-derived stem cells. Biomed Rep 2020; 13:59. [PMID: 33123373 PMCID: PMC7583700 DOI: 10.3892/br.2020.1366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2020] [Accepted: 09/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is a potent mitogenic, angiogenic and chemoattractant, and is one of the most abundant growth factors in platelet-derived products. The goal of the present study was to examine the effects of PDGF-BB on cellular morphology and cellular viability using 3D stem cell cultures. On day 1, spheroids formed well in silicon-elastomer-based concave microwells. The addition of 10 or 100 ng/ml PDGF-BB did not affect the morphology of the cell spheroids. During longer periods of incubation, the cell spheroids maintained their shape without noticeable alterations. The majority of cells in the spheroids exhibited green fluorescence when analyzed using a live/dead assay, indicative of live cells. On day 1, the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay values for PDGF-BB at 0, 10 and 100 ng/ml were 0.241±0.003, 0.227±0.001 and 0.241±0.004, respectively; on day 3, the CCK-8 assay values for PDGF-BB were 0.233±0.005, 0.278±0.001 and 0.194±0.003, respectively; and on day 7, they were 0.248±0.014, 0.293±0.031 and 0.346±0.034, respectively. The 100 ng/ml group showed significantly higher values compared with the control group on day 7. Together, the results of the present study showed that the addition of 10 and 100 ng/ml PDGF-BB increased cellular viability, suggesting that PDGF-BB may be usable in cell therapy.

Abstract
Cu-dependent lysyl oxidase (LOX) plays a catalytic activity-related, primary role in the assembly of the extracellular matrix (ECM), a dynamic structural and regulatory framework which is essential for cell fate, differentiation and communication during development, tissue maintenance and repair. LOX, additionally, plays both activity-dependent and independent extracellular, intracellular and nuclear roles that fulfill significant functions in normal tissues, and contribute to vascular, cardiac, pulmonary, dermal, placenta, diaphragm, kidney and pelvic floor disorders. LOX activities have also been recognized in glioblastoma, diabetic neovascularization, osteogenic differentiation, bone matrix formation, ligament remodeling, polycystic ovary syndrome, fetal membrane rupture and tumor progression and metastasis. In an inflammatory context, LOX plays a role in diminishing pluripotent mesenchymal cell pools which are relevant to the pathology of diabetes, osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Most of these conditions involve mechanisms with complex cell and tissue type-specific interactions of LOX with signaling pathways, not only as a regulatory target, but also as an active player, including LOX-mediated alterations of cell surface receptor functions and mutual regulatory activities within signaling loops. In this review, we aim to provide insight into the diverse ways in which LOX participates in signaling events, and explore the mechanistic details and functional significance of the regulatory and cross-regulatory interactions of LOX with the EGFR, PDGF, VEGF, TGF-β, mechano-transduction, inflammatory and steroid signaling pathways.

Abstract
Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) have been used for the production of transgenic animals and for the recovery of male fertility. However, the proliferation of SSCs in vitro is still immature, and the mechanisms and pathways involved in the proliferation of SSCs are not clear. Here, the effects of platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the proliferation of dairy goat SSCs in vitro were detected. The results showed that 20 ng/ml PDGF-BB or 25 ng/ml EGF was the optimum concentration, and that the BCL2 in the experimental groups was significantly higher than that in the control (P < 0.05), while BAX and BAD were dramatically downregulated (P < 0.05). The pERK1/2 in the experimental groups was about 3-5 times higher than that in the control. After the specific MEK1/2 inhibitor was added, BCL2 was reduced significantly (P < 0.001), while BAX and BAD were upregulated (P < 0.001). The expression of pERK1/2 decreased by 10%-30%. We speculated that these two growth factors may be mediated through the Ras/ERK1/2 signaling pathway to regulate the expression of pERK1/2 protein, and thus enhance the resistance of SSCs to apoptosis. However, further studies are needed to verify this hypothesis.

A novel serum-free medium for the isolation, expansion and maintenance of stemness and tissue-specific markers of primary human periodontal ligament cells. Ann Anat 2020; 231:151517. [PMID: 32229241 DOI: 10.1016/j.aanat.2020.151517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2019] [Revised: 02/21/2020] [Accepted: 03/12/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Periodontal ligament (PDL) cell cultures are classically maintained in serum-containing media. However, unwanted side-effects of these conditions on cellular and molecular characteristics demand a serum-free alternative. Even though these limitations are well known and efforts for the development of adequate serum-free alternatives have been made, these approaches for replacement remained unsuccessful so far. This study aimed at developing a well-defined, serum-free formulation supporting both isolation from tissue samples and efficient expansion of PDL cells. Here, of particular focus was the perpetuation of tissue-characteristic markers detectable in primary tissues and of stemness features. BASIC PROCEDURES Primary PDL cell cultures from generally healthy human donors (n = 3) were maintained in basal media N2B27 and E6 together with different concentrations of growth and attachment factors. Cell proliferation was recorded via microscopy and WST assay. Gene expression of RUNX2, Periostin, ALP, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD45, SOX10 and SOX2 was compared to primary PDL explants via qRT-PCR. Immunocytochemistry was performed for anti-CD105, SSEA-3, CD271, HNK1. Serum-containing sDMEM medium served as control. MAIN FINDINGS N2B27 medium substituted with 25 ng/mL EGF, 25 ng/mL IGF1, 0.5 mg/mL Fetuin plus gelatine coating (designated N2B27-PDLsf) emerged as potent serum-free formulation ensuring adequate culture isolation and expansion. Here, PDL primary tissue signature markers RUNX2 and Periostin remained stable in N2B27-PDLsf compared to controls (229.0-fold ±101.0 and 83.2-fold ±9.6 increase). Additionally, stemness markers ALP and CD105 were significantly upregulated on transcriptional, and CD105 and SOX2 on protein level. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS This investigation identified a novel serum-free medium for the isolation, and expansion of primary human PDL cells with constantly high proliferation rates. Here, purity and stemness properties are maintained. Thus, N2B27-PDLsf represents a valid replacement for serum-containing media in PDL cultures.

Abstract
Microporous annealed particle (MAP) hydrogels are an emerging class of biomaterials with the potential to improve outcomes in tissue repair and regeneration. Here, a new MAP hydrogel platform comprising poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG) hydrogel microparticles that are annealed in situ using bio-orthogonal tetrazine click chemistry is reported (i.e., TzMAP hydrogels). Briefly, clickable PEG-peptide hydrogel microparticles with extracellular matrix mimetic peptides to permit cell adhesion and enzymatic degradation were fabricated via submerged electrospraying and stoichiometrically controlled thiol-norbornene click chemistry. Subsequently, unreacted norbornene groups in the microparticles were leveraged for functionalization with bioactive proteins as well as annealing into TzMAP hydrogels via the tetrazine-norbornene click reaction, which is highly selective and proceeds spontaneously without requiring an initiator or catalyst. The results demonstrate that the clickable particles can be easily applied to a tissue-like defect and then annealed into an inherently microporous structure in situ. In addition, the ability to produce TzMAP hydrogels with heterogeneous properties by incorporating multiple types of hydrogel microspheres is demonstrated, first with fluorophore-functionalized hydrogel microparticles and then with protein-functionalized hydrogel microparticles. For the latter, tetrazine-modified alkaline phosphatase was conjugated to PEG hydrogel microparticles, which were mixed with nonfunctionalized microparticles and used to produce TzMAP hydrogels. A biomimetic mineralized/nonmineralized interface was then produced upon incubation in calcium glycerophosphate. Finally, platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) and human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSC) were incorporated into the TzMAP hydrogels during the annealing step to demonstrate their potential for delivering regenerative therapeutics, specifically for periodontal tissue regeneration. In vitro characterization revealed excellent PDGF-BB retention as well as PDLSC growth and spreading. Moreover, PDGF-BB loading increased PDLSC proliferation within hydrogels by 90% and more than doubled the average volume per cell. Overall, these results demonstrate that TzMAP hydrogels are a versatile new platform for the delivery of stem cells and regenerative factors.

Abstract
Alveolar bone defects can arise as a consequence of trauma, infection, periodontal disease, or congenital alveolar fenestration. Many approaches have been employed in an effort to treat or overcome such defects, but the ability to effectively achieve alveolar regeneration remains elusive. Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) has been shown to serve as a key factor capable of orchestrating cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and chemoattraction in the context of osteogenic processes. Exactly how PDGF-BB affects human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs), however, requires further exploration. In this report, we utilized a lentiviral construct to achieve PDGF-BB overexpression in hPDLSCs, allowing us to establish that this gene was able to enhance the proliferation of these cells and to mediate osteogenic gene upregulation therein. In addition, we established a rat model of alveolar defects that were implanted using different complexes, and then monitored through histological and micro-CT analyses 4 and 8 weeks postsurgery to assess bone repair outcomes. These analyses revealed that a thermosensitive hydrogel was an effective 3D cell culture scaffold, while PDLSCs overexpressing PDGF-BB enhanced bone growth in the context of alveolar bone defects. Together, these results thus indicate that PDGF-BB represents a potent means of promoting stem cell-based alveolar bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Teeth represent a fascinating area of study in regenerative medicine, because of their unique and complex developmental origin. Several types of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been characterized in the oral cavity, and those derived from the periodontal ligament (PDL) first isolated by our group in 2005, can be expanded in a xeno-free medium preserving morphological features and markers associated with pluripotency. These postnatal MSCs can be easily recovered by noninvasive procedures and cultured. This could facilitate the use of adult stem cells in human clinical regeneration therapy. In this review we summarize the results of our studies describing morphofunctional features, surface markers, and multilineage differentiation capacity in vitro of PDL MSCs obtained in our laboratories. In vivo characterization of PDL stem cell (PDLSC) location and heterogeneity are still lacking. However, we describe studies exploring the potential use of PDLSC to treat both periodontal diseases and regeneration of other tissues. These MSCs may have an advantage in possessing also angiogenetic, immunoregulatory, and anti-inflammatory properties. The secretome of such cells contains several interesting molecules mimicking the effects of the producer cells. We describe some recent studies from our group on the use of conditioned medium from PDL MSCs, and purified extracellular vesicles therein contained, in animal models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and their potential application to human disease.
