Abstract
Cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) is a prevalent congenital craniofacial abnormality that can lead to difficulties in eating, speaking, hearing, and psychological distress. The traditional approach for treating CLP involves bone graft surgery, which has limitations, post-surgical complications, and donor site morbidity. However, regenerative medicine has emerged as a promising alternative, employing a combination of stem cells, growth factors, and scaffolds to promote tissue regeneration. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of stem cell-based regenerative approaches in the management of CLP. A thorough search was conducted in the Medline/PubMed and Scopus databases, including cohort studies, randomized controlled trials, case series, case controls, case reports, and animal studies. The identified studies were categorized into two main groups: clinical studies involving human subjects and in vivo studies using animal models. While there are only a limited number of studies investigating the combined use of stem cells and scaffolds for CLP treatment, they have shown promising results. Various types of stem cells have been utilized in conjunction with scaffolds. Importantly, regenerative methods have been successfully applied to patients across a broad range of age groups. The collective findings derived from the reviewed studies consistently support the notion that regenerative medicine holds potential advantages over conventional bone grafting and represents a promising therapeutic option for CLP. However, future well-designed clinical trials, encompassing diverse combinations of stem cells and scaffolds, are warranted to establish the clinical efficacy of these interventions with a larger number of patients.

Amiri MA, Lavaee F, Danesteh H. Use of stem cells in bone regeneration in cleft palate patients: review and recommendations. J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2022; 48:71-78. [PMID: 35491137 PMCID: PMC9065639 DOI: 10.5125/jkaoms.2022.48.2.71] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2021] [Revised: 03/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
This study was conducted to review the efficacy of different sources of stem cells in bone regeneration of cleft palate patients. The majority of previous studies focused on the transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. However, other sources of stem cells have also gained considerable attention, and dental stem cells have shown especially favorable outcomes. Additionally, approaches that apply the co-culture and co-transplantation of stem cells have shown promising results. The use of different types of stem cells, based on their accessibility and efficacy in bone regeneration, is a promising method in cleft palate bone regeneration. In this regard, dental stem cells may be an ideal choice due to their efficacy and accessibility. In conclusion, stem cells, despite the lengthy procedures required for culture and preparation, are a suitable alternative to conventional bone grafting techniques.

Abstract
The use of three-dimensional porous scaffolds derived from decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) is increasing for functional repair and regeneration of injured bone tissue. Because these scaffolds retain their native structures and bioactive molecules, in addition to showing low immunogenicity and good biodegradability, they can promote tissue repair and regeneration. Nonetheless, imitating these features in synthetic materials represents a challenging task. Furthermore, due to the complexity of bone tissue, different processes are necessary to maintain these characteristics. We present a novel approach using decellularized ECM material derived from bovine cancellous bone by demineralization, decellularization, and hydrolysis of collagen to obtain a three-dimensional porous scaffold. This study demonstrates that the three-dimensional porous scaffold obtained from bovine bone retained its osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties and presented osteogenic potential when seeded with human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stromal cells (hWJ-MSCs). Based on its characteristics, the scaffold described in this work potentially represents a therapeutic strategy for bone repair.

A critical appraisal of humanized alternatives to fetal bovine serum for clinical applications of umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stromal cells. Biotechnol Lett 2021; 43:2067-2083. [PMID: 34499291 DOI: 10.1007/s10529-021-03180-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2021] [Accepted: 08/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study is aimed to verify the possibility of using humanized alternatives to fetal bovine serum (FBS) such as umbilical cord blood plasma (CBP) and AB+ plasma to support the long-term growth of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) derived from the umbilical cord. We hypothesized that umbilical CBP would be a potential substitute to FBS, especially for small scale autologous clinical transplantations. METHODS The MSCs were cultured for six consecutive passages to evaluate xeno-free media's ability to support long-term growth. Cell proliferation rates, colony-forming-unit (CFU) efficiency and population doublings of expanded MSCs, were investigated. Ex vivo expanded MSCs were further characterized using flow cytometry and quantitative PCR. The impact of cryopreservation and composition of cryomedium on phenotype, viability of MSC was also assessed. RESULTS Our results on cell proliferation, colony-forming unit efficiency suggested that the expansion of the cells was successfully carried out in media supplemented with humanized alternatives. MSCs showed lower CFU counts in FBS (~ 25) than humanized alternatives (~ 35). The gene expression analysis revealed that transcripts showed significant differential expression by two to three folds in the FBS group compared with MSCs grown in medium with humanized alternatives (p < 0.05). In addition, MSCs grown in a medium with FBS had more osteogenic activity, a signature of unwanted differentiation. The majority of ex vivo expanded MSCs at early and late passages expressed CD44+, CD73+, CD105+, CD90+, and CD166+ in all the experimental groups tested (~ 90%). In contrast to the other MSC surface markers, expression levels of STRO-1+ (~ 21-10%) and TNAP+ (~ 29-11%) decreased with the increase in passage number for MSCs cultured in a FBS-supplemented medium (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our results established that CBP supported culture of umbilical cord tissue-derived MSCs and is a safer Xeno free replacement to FBS. The use of CBP also enables the storage of umbilical cord tissue derived MSCs in patient-specific conditions to minimize adverse events if cells are delivered directly to the patient.

Stem Cells Transl Med 2020; 10:598-609. [PMID: 33341102 PMCID: PMC7980203 DOI: 10.1002/sctm.20-0234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2020] [Revised: 09/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMNC) transplantation has been widely studied in recent years. The fresh cell cocktail in BMMNCs, without going through the in vitro culture process, helps to establish a stable microenvironment for osteogenesis, and each cell type may play a unique role in bone regeneration. Our study compared the efficacy of concentrated fresh BMMNCs and cultured bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in Beagle dogs for the first time. Fifteen‐millimeter segmental bone defects were created in the animals' tibia bones. In BMMNCs group, the defects were repaired with concentrated fresh BMMNCs combined with β‐TCP (n = 5); in cultured BMSC group, with in vitro cultured and osteo‐induced BMSCs combined with β‐TCP (n = 5); in scaffold‐only group, with a β‐TCP graft alone (n = 5); and in blank group, nothing was grafted (n = 3). The healing process was monitored by X‐rays and single photon emission computed tomography. The animals were sacrificed 12 months after surgery and their tibias were harvested and analyzed by microcomputed tomography and hard tissue histology. Moreover, the microstructure, chemical components, and microbiomechanical properties of the regenerated bone tissue were explored by multiphoton microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and nanoindentation. The results showed that BMMNCs group promoted much more bone regeneration than cultured BMSC group. The grafts in BMMNCs group were better mineralized, and they had collagen arrangement and microbiomechanical properties similar to the contralateral native tibia bone. These results indicate that concentrated fresh bone marrow mononuclear cells may be superior to in vitro expanded stem cells in segmental bone defect repair.

Abstract
Stem cell-based regenerative medicine is a promising approach for tissue reconstruction. However, a large number of cells are needed in a typical clinical study, where conventional monolayer cultures might pose a limitation for scale-up. The purpose of this review was to systematically assess the application of microcarriers in Mesenchymal Stem Cell cultures. A comprehensive search was conducted in Medline via Ebscohost, Pubmed, and Scopus, and relevant studies published between 2015 and 2019 were selected. The literature search identified 53 related studies, but only 14 articles met the inclusion criteria. These include 7 utilised commercially available microcarriers, while the rest were formulated based on different surface characteristics, all of which are discussed in this review. Current applications of microcarriers were focused on MSC expansion and induction of MSCs into different lineages. These studies demonstrated that MSCs could proliferate in a microcarrier culture system in-fold compared to monolayer cultures, and the culture system could simulate a three-dimensional environment which induces cell differentiation. However, detailed studies are still required before this system were to be adapted into the scale of GMP manufacturing.

Abstract
PURPOSE Umbilical cord blood-derived platelet-rich plasma (UCB-PRP) containing growth factors has attracted attention as a biomaterial useful for regenerative medicine. The osteoblastic differentiation of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) can be induced by UCB-PRP. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine samples of UC and UCB were used to conduct an in vitro study that determined the contents of three growth factors (i.e., platelet-derived growth factor, transforming growth factor β-1, and vascular endothelial growth factor) and that examined, by staining with Alizarin red, their ability to induce the osteoblastic differentiation of UC-MSCs at the baseline, 3 months, and 3 years of cryopreservation. RESULTS The contents of growth factors in cryopreserved UCB-PRP were markedly elevated compared to those found in UCB at baseline. The samples of UCB that were added with cryopreserved UCB-PRP and those with bone morphogenetic protein-2 were stained granularly with Alizarin red, thus indicating the presence of calcium. The samples of UCB that were not added with UCB-PRP were not stained with Alizarin red. The above-mentioned contents and ability were maintained at 3 years of cryopreservation. Cryopreserved UCB-PRP possibly and advantageously induced the osteoblastic differentiation of UC-MSCs. CONCLUSION The potential clinical application of cryopreserved UCB-PRP to regenerative medicine was suggested.

Abstract
Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) are emerging as a promising source for bone regeneration in the treatment of bone defects. Previous studies have reported the ability of WJ-MSCs to be induced into the osteogenic lineage. The purpose of this review was to systematically assess the potential of WJ-MSC differentiation into the osteogenic lineage. A comprehensive search was conducted in Medline via Ebscohost and Scopus, where relevant studies published between 1961 and 2018 were selected. The main inclusion criteria were that articles must be primary studies published in English evaluating osteogenic induction of WJ-MSCs. The literature search identified 92 related articles, but only 18 articles met the inclusion criteria. These include two animal studies, three articles containing both in vitro and in vivo assessments, and 13 articles on in vitro studies, all of which are discussed in this review. There were two types of osteogenic induction used in these studies, either chemical or physical. The studies demonstrate that WJ-MSCs are able to differentiate into osteogenic lineage and promote osteogenesis. In light of these observations, it is suggested that WJ-MSCs can be a potential source of stem cells for osteogenic induction, as an alternative to bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) isolated from human term placental tissues possess unique characteristics, including their peculiar immunomodulatory properties and their multilineage differentiation potential. The osteogenic differentiation capacity of placental MSC has been widely disputed, and continues to be an issue of debate. This review will briefly discuss the different MSC populations which can be obtained from different regions of human term placenta, along with their unique properties, focusing specifically on their osteogenic differentiation potential. We will present the strategies used to enhance osteogenic differentiation potential in vitro, such as through the selection of subpopulations more prone to differentiate, the modification of the components of osteo-inductive medium, and even mechanical stimulation. Accordingly, the applications of three-dimensional environments in vitro and in vivo, such as non-synthetic, polymer-based, and ceramic scaffolds, will also be discussed, along with results obtained from pre-clinical studies of placental MSC for the regeneration of bone defects and treatment of bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Achieving a successful and well-functioning reconstruction of craniofacial deformities still remains a challenge. As for now, autologous bone grafting remains the gold standard for alveolar cleft reconstruction. However, its aesthetic and functional results often remain unsatisfactory, which carries a long-term psychosocial and medical sequelae. Therefore, searching for novel therapeutic approaches is strongly indicated. With the recent advances in stem cell research, cell-based tissue engineering strategies move from the bench to the patients' bedside. Successful stem cell engineering employs a carefully selected stem cell source, a biodegradable scaffold with osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties, as well as an addition of growth factors or cytokines to enhance osteogenesis. This review highlights recent advances in mesenchymal stem cell tissue engineering, discusses animal models and case reports of stem cell enhanced bone regeneration, as well as ongoing clinical trials.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain. This disease clinically manifests as gradual muscular weakness and atrophy leading to paralysis and death by respiratory failure. While multiple interdependent factors may contribute to the pathogenesis of ALS, increasing evidence shows the possible presence of autoimmune mechanisms that promote disease progression. The potential use of plasma derived from human umbilical cord blood (hUCB) as a therapeutic tool is currently in its infancy. The hUCB plasma is rich in cytokines and growth factors that are required for growth and survival of cells during hematopoiesis. In this study, we investigated the effects of hUCB plasma on the mitogen-induced proliferation of mononuclear cells (MNCs) isolated from the peripheral blood of ALS patients and apoptotic activity by detection of caspase 3/7 expression of the isolated MNCs in vitro. Three distinct responses to phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced proliferation of MNCs were observed, which were independent of age, disease duration, and the ALS rating scale: Group I responded normally to PHA, Group II showed no response to PHA, while Group III showed a hyperactive response to PHA. hUCB plasma attenuated the hyperactive response (Group III) and potentiated the normal response in Group I ALS patients, but did not alter that of the nonresponders to PHA (Group II). The elevated activity of caspase 3/7 observed in the MNCs from ALS patients was significantly reduced by hUCB plasma treatment. Thus, study results showing different cell responses to mitogen suggest alteration in lymphocyte functionality in ALS patients that may be a sign of immune deficiency in the nonresponders and autoimmunity alterations in the hyperactive responders. The ability of hUCB plasma to modulate the mitogen cell response and reduce caspase activity suggests that the use of hUCB plasma alone, or with stem cells, may prove useful as a therapeutic in ALS patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cultured mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been used in many clinical trials; however, there are still some concerns about the cultural conditions. One concern is related to the use of FBS as a widely used xenogeneic supplement in the culture system. Human platelet-rich plasma (hPRP) is a candidate replacement for FBS. In this study, the effect of hPRP on MSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation has been evaluated. METHODS Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSC) were expanded. Cells from the third passage were characterized by flow cytometric analysis and used for in vitro experiments. Resazurin and alizarin red stains were used for cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation assays, respectively. RESULTS Treatment with hPRP resulted in a statistically significant increase in cell proliferation compare to the negative control group (P<0.001). Cell proliferation in the 15% hPRP group was also significantly higher than that in the 10% hPRP group (P<0.05). Additionally, it caused less osteogenic differentiation of the hADSC compared to the FBS (P<0.001), but in comparison to negative control, it caused acceptable mineralization (P<0.001). CONCLUSION These findings indicate that hPRP not only improves the proliferation but also it can be a suitable substitution in osteogenic differentiation for clinical purposes. However, the clinical application value of hPRP still needs more investigation.

The effect of extended passaging on the phenotype and osteogenic potential of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Mol Cell Biochem 2015; 401:155-64. [PMID: 25555467 DOI: 10.1007/s11010-014-2303-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2014] [Accepted: 12/10/2014] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Retaining biological characteristics in the extended passaging is crucial for human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) in tissue engineering. We aimed to assess morphology, viability, MSC marker expression, and osteogenic activity of hUCSMCs after extended passaging. Passages 4 (P4) and 16 (P16) hUCMSCs displayed similar morphology and viability. The flow cytometry results showed that CD73, CD90, and CD105 were highly expressed at P1-P16. CD166 expression decreased progressively from 90 % at P2 to 61.5 % at P5 (p < 0.05), followed by stable expression through P16. Results from calcium deposition alkaline phosphatase activity and RT-PCR assay showed that both P4 and P16 hUCMSCs differentiated down an osteogenic lineage, with no significant difference in osteogenic capacity (p < 0.05). High-passage UMCSCs maintained stable expression of MSC CD markers as well as stable osteogenic activity. hUCMSCs may thus be suitable for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cleft lip and cleft palate are increasingly being detected by prenatal ultrasound, which raises the opportunity of using the patient's own osteogenicity from umbilical cord mesenchymal cells for bony repair. The authors address the growth of the cells under a fully defined and regulated protocol. METHODS Wharton jelly-derived mesenchymal stromal cells were isolated and expanded as a monolayer with defined serum-free medium. Osteoblastic differentiation was tested in the cells and in the entire Wharton jelly biopsy specimens. The serum-free-cultured cells were included in hydroxyapatite granule-fibrin constructs and, without predifferentiation, subcutaneously implanted into immunoincompetent mice. RESULTS Isolation and expansion of Wharton jelly-derived mesenchymal stromal cells were consistently successful under serum-free conditions, and the cells expressed standard mesenchymal stromal cell markers. The serum-free-cultivated cells produced a mineralized extracellular matrix under osteogenic differentiation, with a significant increase of osteoblastic lineage gene expression (Hox-A10 and Runx2) and an up-regulation of downstream osteogenic genes (OSX, OCN, ALPL, and BSP2). In vivo, they formed a dense matrix adjacent to the granules after 8 weeks, but no lamellar bone. serum-free-cultivated entire Wharton jelly biopsy specimens produced a mineralized extracellular matrix within the collagen matrix of the Wharton jelly. CONCLUSIONS The osteogenic differentiation potential of Wharton jelly-derived mesenchymal stromal cells was maintained under serum-free isolation and expansion techniques. The cells without predifferentiation form a dense collagen matrix but not bone in vivo. Moreover, entire Wharton jelly biopsy specimens showed periosteal-like mineralization under osteogenic differentiation, which offers new options for autologous bone tissue engineering, including cleft palate surgery.

Abstract
This study examined the potential for osteogenesis via regenerative medicine using autologous tissues (umbilical cord (UC) and umbilical cord blood (UCB)) in nude mice. The study was designed to provide the three elements required for regenerative medicine (cell, scaffold, and growth factor) and autoserum for culture by means of autologous tissues. Mesenchymal stromal cells were obtained from UC (UC-MSCs). Fibrin, platelet-rich-plasma, and autoserum were obtained from UCB as scaffold, growth factor and serum for culture respectively. UC-MSCs were obtained from Wharton jelly and cultured with UCB-derived fibrin (UCB-fibrin) for 3-4 weeks to induce their differentiation into osteoblasts. They were implanted subcutaneously into the dorsum of male nude mice for 6 weeks prior to undergoing assessment. The assessments performed were haematoxylin and eosin, and alizarin red staining, immunohistochemical staining of human mitochondria, scanning electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry and real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction to assess the expressions of osteoblast markers. Consequently, the differentiation of UC-MSCs into osteoblasts and the production of hydroxyapatite were verified. This study suggested the possible formation of bone tissue using biomedical materials obtained from UC and UCB.

Mesenchymal stem or stromal cells from amnion and umbilical cord tissue and their potential for clinical applications. Cells 2012; 1:1061-88. [PMID: 24710543 PMCID: PMC3901122 DOI: 10.3390/cells1041061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 86] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2012] [Revised: 10/29/2012] [Accepted: 11/05/2012] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Mesenchymal stem or stromal cells (MSC) have proven to offer great promise for cell-based therapies and tissue engineering applications, as these cells are capable of extensive self-renewal and display a multilineage differentiation potential. Furthermore, MSC were shown to exhibit immunomodulatory properties and display supportive functions through parakrine effects. Besides bone marrow (BM), still today the most common source of MSC, these cells were found to be present in a variety of postnatal and extraembryonic tissues and organs as well as in a large variety of fetal tissues. Over the last decade, the human umbilical cord and human amnion have been found to be a rich and valuable source of MSC that is bio-equivalent to BM-MSC. Since these tissues are discarded after birth, the cells are easily accessible without ethical concerns.
