Saleh RO, Majeed AA, Margiana R, Alkadir OKA, Almalki SG, Ghildiyal P, Samusenkov V, Jabber NK, Mustafa YF, Elawady A. Therapeutic gene delivery by mesenchymal stem cell for brain ischemia damage: Focus on molecular mechanisms in ischemic stroke. Cell Biochem Funct 2024; 42:e3957. [PMID: 38468129 DOI: 10.1002/cbf.3957] [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: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024]
Abstract
Cerebral ischemic damage is prevalent and the second highest cause of death globally across patient populations; it is as a substantial reason of morbidity and mortality. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have garnered significant interest as a potential treatment for cerebral ischemic damage, as shown in ischemic stroke, because of their potent intrinsic features, which include self-regeneration, immunomodulation, and multi-potency. Additionally, MSCs are easily obtained, isolated, and cultured. Despite this, there are a number of obstacles that hinder the effectiveness of MSC-based treatment, such as adverse microenvironmental conditions both in vivo and in vitro. To overcome these obstacles, the naïve MSC has undergone a number of modification processes to enhance its innate therapeutic qualities. Genetic modification and preconditioning modification (with medications, growth factors, and other substances) are the two main categories into which these modification techniques can be separated. This field has advanced significantly and is still attracting attention and innovation. We examine these cutting-edge methods for preserving and even improving the natural biological functions and therapeutic potential of MSCs in relation to adhesion, migration, homing to the target site, survival, and delayed premature senescence. We address the use of genetically altered MSC in stroke-induced damage. Future strategies for improving the therapeutic result and addressing the difficulties associated with MSC modification are also discussed.

Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an age-related interstitial lung disease that results in notable morbidity and mortality. The Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs can decelerate the progression of PF; however, curing aged patients with severe fibrosis is ineffective because of insufficient accumulation of these drugs and wide necrocytosis of type II alveolar epithelial cells (AEC IIs). Here, we constructed a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based nanoengineered platform via the bioconjugation of MSCs and type I collagenase-modified liposomes loaded with nintedanib (MSCs-Lip@NCAF) for treating severe fibrosis. Specifically, MSCs-Lip@NCAF migrated to fibrotic lungs because of the homing characteristic of MSCs and then Lip@NCAF was sensitively released. Subsequently, Lip@NCAF ablated collagen fibers, delivered nintedanib into fibroblasts, and inhibited fibroblast overactivation. MSCs differentiated into AEC IIs to repair alveolar structure and ultimately promote the regeneration of damaged lungs in aged mice. Our findings indicated that MSCs-Lip@NCAF could be used as a promising therapeutic candidate for PF therapy, especially in aged patients.

Abstract
Dermal substitutes provide a template for dermal regeneration and reconstruction. They constitutes an ideal clinical treatment for deep skin defects. However, rapid vascularization remains as a major hurdle to the development and application of dermal substitutes. Several bioactive factors play an important regulatory role in the process of angiogenesis and an understanding of the mechanism of achieving their effective delivery and sustained function is vital. Nanomaterials have great potential for tissue engineering. Effective delivery of bioactive factors (including growth factors, peptides and nucleic acids) by nanomaterials is of increasing research interest. This paper discusses the process of dermal substitute angiogenesis and the roles of related bioactive factors in this process. The application of nanomaterials for the delivery of bioactive factors to enhance angiogenesis and accelerate wound healing is also reviewed. We focus on new systems and approaches for delivering bioactive factors for enhancing angiogenesis in dermal substitutes.

Abstract
Craniofacial bone defects can result from various disorders, including congenital malformations, tumor resection, infection, severe trauma, and accidents. Successfully regenerating cranial defects is an integral step to restore craniofacial function. However, challenges managing and controlling new bone tissue formation remain. Current advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine use innovative techniques to address these challenges. The use of biomaterials, stromal cells, and growth factors have demonstrated promising outcomes in vitro and in vivo. Natural and synthetic bone grafts combined with Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) and growth factors have shown encouraging results in regenerating critical-size cranial defects. One of prevalent growth factors is Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2). BMP-2 is defined as a gold standard growth factor that enhances new bone formation in vitro and in vivo. Recently, emerging evidence suggested that Megakaryocytes (MKs), induced by Thrombopoietin (TPO), show an increase in osteoblast proliferation in vitro and bone mass in vivo. Furthermore, a co-culture study shows mature MKs enhance MSC survival rate while maintaining their phenotype. Therefore, MKs can provide an insight as a potential therapy offering a safe and effective approach to regenerating critical-size cranial defects.

Abstract
Due to their "tumor homing" and "immune privilege" characteristics, the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been proposed as a novel tool against cancer. MSCs are genetically engineered in vitro and then utilized to deliver tumoricidal agents, including prodrugs and bioactive molecules, to tumors. The genetic modification of MSCs can be achieved by various vectors, and in most cases viral vectors are used; however, viruses may be associated with carcinogenesis and immunogenicity, restricting their clinical translational potential. As such, nonviral vectors have emerged as a potential solution to address these limitations and have gradually attracted increasing attention. In this review, we briefly revisit the current knowledge about MSC-based cancer gene therapy. Then, we summarize the advantages and challenges of nonviral vectors for MSC transfection. Finally, we discuss recent advances in the development of new nonviral vectors, which have provided promising strategies to overcome obstacles in the gene modulation of MSCs.

Abstract
Due to the limited regenerative capacity of cartilage, untreated joint defects can advance to more extensive degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis. While some biomaterial-based tissue-engineered scaffolds have shown promise in treating such defects, no scaffold has been widely accepted by clinicians to date. Multi-layered natural polymer scaffolds that mimic native osteochondral tissue and facilitate the regeneration of both articular cartilage (AC) and subchondral bone (SCB) in spatially distinct regions have recently entered clinical use, while the transient localized delivery of growth factors and even therapeutic genes has also been proposed to better regulate and promote new tissue formation. Furthermore, new manufacturing methods such as 3D bioprinting have made it possible to precisely tailor scaffold micro-architectures and/or to control the spatial deposition of cells in requisite layers of an implant. In this way, natural and synthetic polymers can be combined to yield bioactive, yet mechanically robust, cell-laden scaffolds suitable for the osteochondral environment. This mini-review discusses recent advances in scaffolds for osteochondral repair, with particular focus on the role of natural polymers in providing regenerative templates for treatment of both AC and SCB in articular joint defects.

Abstract
There have been marked changes in the field of stem cell therapeutics in recent years, with many clinical trials having been conducted to date in an effort to treat myriad diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the cell type most frequently utilized in stem cell therapeutic and tissue regenerative strategies, and have been used with excellent safety to date. Unfortunately, these MSCs have limited ability to engraft and survive, reducing their clinical utility. MSCs are able to secrete growth factors that can support the regeneration of tissues, and engineering MSCs to express such growth factors can improve their survival, proliferation, differentiation, and tissue reconstructing abilities. As such, it is likely that such genetically modified MSCs may represent the next stage of regenerative therapy. Indeed, increasing volumes of preclinical research suggests that such modified MSCs expressing growth factors can effectively treat many forms of tissue damage. In the present review, we survey recent approaches to producing and utilizing growth factor gene-modified MSCs in the context of tissue repair and discuss its prospects for clinical application.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a great deal of interest in ex-vivo genetic modification of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to meet various biomedical needs. Considering the self-renewal potential of MSCs, it is critically important to ensure that transfection vectors (gene carriers) do not induce genotoxicity because they could theoretically turn a single stem cell into a cancer-initiating cell. Unfortunately, there is currently no reliable, unbiased, and quantitative method to measure genotoxicity (micronuclei formation) of gene carriers directly in transfected MSCs. Consequently, it has not been possible to study the correlation of vectors' physicochemical characteristics with their impact on stem cell genome stability. To address this deficiency, a flow cytometry-based method with a specialized gating protocol was developed that not only measures micronuclei formation, but also determines the mechanism of mutagenesis (i.e., clastogenic vs. aneugenic) of each vector in transfected MSCs. This gating protocol effectively eliminates all interfering signals associated with aggregated nanoparticles (viral and non-viral), exogenous DNA, and apoptotic/necrotic bodies from the micronuclei measurement process. The presented gating protocol for flow cytometry, which is provided as a template, enables investigators in academia, industry and regulatory bodies to rapidly and reliably evaluate the genosafety profiles of gene carriers. The findings of this study also indicate that highly positively charged lipid- and polymeric-based vectors can induce genotoxicity even without manifesting substantial somatic toxicity. Thus, extreme care must be taken before implanting ex-vivo-modified MSCs back into a patient's body. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE There is a great interest in genetic modification of stem cells (SCs) by using vectors for various biomedical needs. Considering the self-renewal potential of SCs, it is essential to ensure that such vectors do not induce genetic aberrations (genotoxicity) because they could theoretically turn a single stem cell into a cancer-initiating cell. Unfortunately, there is currently no reliable method to measure genotoxicity of vectors directly in transfected SCs. To address this deficiency, a specialized flow cytometry-based method was developed that quantitatively analyzed genotoxicity and determined the mechanism of mutagenesis that occurred in transfected SCs during the transfection process. The developed technique will enable scientists to design safer vectors for genetic modification of stem cells.

Abstract
Critical tissue defects frequently result from trauma, burns, chronic wounds and/or surgery. The ideal treatment for such tissue loss is autografting, but donor sites are often limited. Tissue engineering (TE) is an inspiring alternative for tissue repair and regeneration (TRR). One of the current state-of-the-art methods for TRR is gene therapy. Non-viral gene delivery systems (nVGDS) have great potential for TE and have several advantages over viral delivery including lower immunogenicity and toxicity, better cell specificity, better modifiability, and higher productivity. However, there is no ideal nVGDS for TRR, hence, there is widespread research to improve their properties. This review introduces the basic principles and key aspects of commonly-used nVGDSs. We focus on recent advances in their applications, current challenges, and future directions.
