Chan AML, Ng AMH, Yunus MHM, Idrus RH, Law JX, Yazid MD, Chin KY, Yusof MRM, Ng SN, Koh B, Lokanathan Y. Single high-dose intravenous injection of Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cell exerts protective effects in a rat model of metabolic syndrome. Stem Cell Res Ther 2024; 15:160. [PMID: 38835014 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-024-03769-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a significant epidemiological problem worldwide. It is a pre-morbid, chronic and low-grade inflammatory disorder that precedes many chronic diseases. Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) could be used to treat MetS because they express high regenerative capacity, strong immunomodulatory properties and allogeneic biocompatibility. This study aims to investigate WJ-MSCs as a therapy against MetS in a rat model. METHODS Twenty-four animals were fed with high-fat high-fructose (HFHF) diet ad libitum. After 16 weeks, the animals were randomised into treatment groups (n = 8/group) and received a single intravenous administration of vehicle, that is, 3 × 106 cells/kg or 10 × 106 cells/kg of WJ-MSCs. A healthy animal group (n = 6) fed with a normal diet received the same vehicle as the control (CTRL). All animals were periodically assessed (every 4 weeks) for physical measurements, serum biochemistry, glucose tolerance test, cardiovascular function test and whole-body composition. Post-euthanasia, organs were weighed and processed for histopathology. Serum was collected for C-reactive protein and inflammatory cytokine assay. RESULTS The results between HFHF-treated groups and healthy or HFHF-CTRL did not achieve statistical significance (α = 0.05). The effects of WJ-MSCs were masked by the manifestation of different disease subclusters and continuous supplementation of HFHF diet. Based on secondary analysis, WJ-MSCs had major implications in improving cardiopulmonary morbidities. The lungs, liver and heart show significantly better histopathology in the WJ-MSC-treated groups than in the untreated CTRL group. The cells produced a dose-dependent effect (high dose lasted until week 8) in preventing further metabolic decay in MetS animals. CONCLUSIONS The establishment of safety and therapeutic proof-of-concept encourages further studies by improving the current therapeutic model.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) are promising stem cell sources for tissue engineering and cell-based therapy. However, long-term in vitro expansion of ADSCs impedes stemness maintenance, which is partly attributed to deprivation of their original microenvironment. Incompetent cells limit the therapeutic effects of ADSC-based clinical strategies. Therefore, reconstructing a more physiologically and physically relevant niche is an ideal strategy to address this issue and therefore facilitates the extensive application of ADSCs. Here, we transplanted separated ADSCs into local subcutaneous adipose tissues of nude mice as an in vivo cell culture model. We found that transplanted ADSCs maintained their primitive morphology and showed improved proliferation and delayed senescence compared to those of cells cultured in an incubator. Significantly increased expression of stemness-related markers and multilineage differentiation abilities were further observed in in vivo cultured ADSCs. Finally, sequencing revealed that genes whose expression differed between ADSCs obtained under in vivo and in vitro conditions were mainly located in the extracellular matrix and extracellular space and that these genes participate in regulating transcription and protein synthesis. Moreover, we found that an Egr1 signaling pathway might exert a crucial impact on controlling stemness properties. Our findings might collectively pave the way for ADSC-based applications.

Abstract
The rarity of the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) population poses a significant challenge for MSC research. Therefore, these cells are often expanded in vitro, prior to use. However, long-term culture has been shown to alter primary MSC properties. Additionally, early passage primary MSCs in culture are often assumed to represent the primary MSC population in situ, however, little research has been done to support this. Here, we compared the transcriptomic profiles of murine MSCs freshly isolated from the bone marrow to those that had been expanded in culture for 10 days. We identified that a single passage in culture extensively altered MSC molecular signatures associated with cell cycling, differentiation and immune response. These findings indicate the critical importance of the MSC source, highlighting the need for optimization of culture conditions to minimize the impact on MSC biology and a transition towards in vivo methodologies for the study of MSC function.

Abstract
Cellular senescence underlies many aging-related pathologies, but its heterogeneity poses challenges for studying and targeting senescent cells. We present here a machine learning program senescent cell identification (SenCID), which accurately identifies senescent cells in both bulk and single-cell transcriptome. Trained on 602 samples from 52 senescence transcriptome datasets spanning 30 cell types, SenCID identifies six major senescence identities (SIDs). Different SIDs exhibit different senescence baselines, stemness, gene functions, and responses to senolytics. SenCID enables the reconstruction of senescent trajectories under normal aging, chronic diseases, and COVID-19. Additionally, when applied to single-cell Perturb-seq data, SenCID helps reveal a hierarchy of senescence modulators. Overall, SenCID is an essential tool for precise single-cell analysis of cellular senescence, enabling targeted interventions against senescent cells.

Abstract
Stem cell therapy requires massive-scale homogeneous stem cells under strict qualification control. However, Prolonged ex vivo expansion impairs the biological functions and results in senescence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). We investigated the function of CTDSPL in the premature senescence process of MSCs and clarified that miR-18a-5p played a prominent role in preventing senescence of long-term cultured MSCs and promoting the self-renewal ability of MSCs. Over-expression of CTDSPL resulted in an enlarged morphology, up-regulation of p16 and accumulation of SA-β-gal of MSCs. The reduced phosphorylated RB suggested cell cycle arrest of MSCs. All these results implied that CTDSPL induced premature senescence of MSCs. We further demonstrated that miR-18a-5p was a putative regulator of CTDSPL by luciferase reporter assay. Inhibition of miR-18a-5p promoted the expression of CTDSPL and induced premature senescence of MSCs. Continuous overexpression of miR-18a-5p improved self-renewal of MSCs by reducing ROS level, increased expression of Oct4 and Nanog, and promoted growth rate and differentiation capability. We reported for the first time that the dynamic interaction of miR-18a-5p and CTDSPL is crucial for stem cell senescence.

Abstract
Currently available therapies for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are inadequate to alleviate the inflammation and reduce joint damage. While the immune-regulatory effect of human mesenchymal/stromal stem cells (MSCs) extracellular vesicles (EVs) has been tested in many inflammation-related diseases, little is known regarding their effect on patients with RA. Thus, we assessed the effect of human MSCs and MSC-EVs (from naïve or IFN-β-primed MSCs) on CD4+ T cells from patients with RA. Moreover, we investigated the effect of MSC-EVs on RA patients-derived synovial fibroblasts (FLS). MSC-EVs were prepared using a PEG precipitation followed by ultracentrifugation-based protocol. Applied to RA CD4+ T cells, EVs from IFN-β-primed MSCs, suppressed the expression of more key RA-associated cytokines (IL-4, GM-CSF IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α), and decreased CD4+ T-cell polyfunctionality than MSCs or EVs from naïve MSCs. MSCs mediated a slight decrease in the frequency of T-regulatory cells, while MSC-EVs rescued the frequency of T-regulatory cells. MSCs significantly inhibited CD4+ T-cell proliferation (P < .05), while no inhibition was observed in response to EV preparations. EVs from IFN-β-primed MSCs inhibited (P < .01) RA FLS migration and downregulated (P < .05) RA FLS surface markers CD34 and HLA-DR. Collectively, we demonstrated the immune-modulatory function of MSCs and their derived EVs in RA CD4+ T cells, which could be further enhanced by priming MSCs with IFN-β. Moreover, EVs from IFN-β-primed MSCs more efficiently inhibit RA FLS migration, and expression of RA FLS-related surface markers, suggesting these EVs as a potent therapy for RA.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess the ability to self-renew and differentiate into multiple cell types, making them highly suitable for use as seed cells in tissue engineering. These can be derived from various sources and have been found to play crucial roles in several physiological processes, such as tissue repair, immune regulation, and intercellular communication. However, the limited capacity for cell proliferation and the secretion of senescence-associated secreted phenotypes (SASPs) pose challenges for the clinical application of MSCs. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of the senescence characteristics of MSCs and examine the different features of cellular microenvironments studied thus far. Additionally, we discuss the mechanisms by which cellular microenvironments regulate the senescence process of MSCs, offering insights into preserving their functionality and enhancing their effectiveness.

Abstract
Increasing evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) accumulate in aging tissues and nonproliferating cells due to their high stability. However, whether upregulation of circRNA expression mediates stem cell senescence and whether circRNAs can be targeted to alleviate aging-related disorders remain unclear. Here, RNA sequencing analysis of differentially expressed circRNAs in long-term-cultured mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) revealed that circSERPINE2 expression was significantly increased in late passages. CircSERPINE2 small interfering RNA delayed MSC senescence and rejuvenated MSCs, while circSERPINE2 overexpression had the opposite effect. RNA pulldown followed by mass spectrometry revealed an interaction between circSERPINE2 and YBX3. CircSERPINE2 increased the affinity of YBX3 for ZO-1 through the CCAUC motif, resulting in the sequestration of YBX3 in the cytoplasm, inhibiting the association of YBX3 with the PCNA promoter and eventually affecting p21 ubiquitin-mediated degradation. In addition, our results demonstrated that senescence-related downregulation of EIF4A3 gave rise to circSERPINE2. In vivo, intra-articular injection of si-circSerpine2 restrained native joint-resident MSC senescence and cartilage degeneration in mice with aging-related osteoarthritis. Taken together, our findings provide strong evidence for a regulatory role for the circSERPINE2/YBX3/PCNA/p21 axis in MSC senescence and the therapeutic potential of si-circSERPINE2 in alleviating aging-associated syndromes, such as osteoarthritis.

Are genetic drift and stem cell adherence in laboratory culture issues for cultivated meat production? Front Nutr 2023; 10:1189664.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell-based cultivated meat is a promising solution to the ecological and ethical problems posed by traditional meat production, since it exhibits a protein content and composition that is more comparable to original meat proteins than any other source of cultivated meat products, including plants, bacteria, and fungi. Nonetheless, the nature and laboratory behavior of mesenchymal stem cells pose two significant challenges for large-scale production: genetic drift and adherent growth in culture. Culture conditions used in the laboratory expose the cells to a selective pressure that causes genetic drift, which may give rise to oncogene activation and the loss of "stemness." This is why genetic and functional analysis of the cells during culture is required to determine the maximum number of passages within the laboratory where no significant mutations or loss of function are detected. Moreover, the adherent growth of mesenchymal stem cells can be an obstacle for their large-scale production since volume to surface ratio is limited for high volume containers. Multi-tray systems, roller bottles, and microcarriers have been proposed as potential solutions to scale-up the production of adherent cells required for cultivated meat. The most promising solutions for the safety problems and large-scale obstacles for cultivated meat production are the determination of a limit number of passages based on a genetic analysis and the use of microcarriers from edible materials to maximize the volume to surface proportion and decrease the downstream operations needed for cultivated meat production.

Abstract
Long-term in vitro culture of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) leads to cell lifespan shortening and growth stagnation due to cell senescence. Here, using sequencing data generated in the public domain, we have established a specific regulatory network of "transcription factor (TF)-microRNA (miRNA)-Target" to provide key molecules for evaluating the passage-dependent replicative senescence of mesenchymal stem cells for the quality control and status evaluation of mesenchymal stem cells prepared by different procedures. Short time-series expression miner (STEM) analysis was performed on the RNA-seq and miRNA-seq databases of mesenchymal stem cells from various passages to reveal the dynamic passage-related changes of miRNAs and mRNAs. Potential miRNA targets were predicted using seven miRNA target prediction databases, including TargetScan, miRTarBase, miRDB, miRWalk, RNA22, RNAinter, and TargetMiner. Then use the TransmiR v2.0 database to obtain experimental-supported transcription factor for regulating the selected miRNA. More than ten sequencing data related to mesenchymal stem cells or mesenchymal stem cells reprogramming were used to validate key miRNAs and mRNAs. And gene set variation analysis (GSVA) was performed to calculate the passage-dependent signature. The results showed that during the passage of mesenchymal stem cells, a total of 29 miRNAs were gradually downregulated and 210 mRNA were gradually upregulated. Enrichment analysis showed that the 29 miRNAs acted as multipotent regulatory factors of stem cells and participated in a variety of signaling pathways, including TGF-beta, HIPPO and oxygen related pathways. 210 mRNAs were involved in cell senescence. According to the target prediction results, the targets of these key miRNAs and mRNAs intersect to form a regulatory network of "TF-miRNA-Target" related to replicative senescence of cultured mesenchymal stem cells, across 35 transcription factor, 7 miRNAs (has-mir-454-3p, has-mir-196b-5p, has-mir-130b-5p, has-mir-1271-5p, has-let-7i-5p, has-let-7a-5p, and has-let-7b-5p) and 7 predicted targets (PRUNE2, DIO2, CPA4, PRKAA2, DMD, DDAH1, and GATA6). This network was further validated by analyzing datasets from a variety of mesenchymal stem cells subculture and lineage reprogramming studies, as well as qPCR analysis of early passages mesenchymal stem cells versus mesenchymal stem cells with senescence morphologies (SA-β-Gal+). The "TF-miRNA-Target" regulatory network constructed in this study reveals the functional mechanism of miRNAs in promoting the senescence of MSCs during in vitro expansion and provides indicators for monitoring the quality of functional mesenchymal stem cells during the preparation and clinical application.

Profiling the Spatial Expression Pattern and ceRNA Network of lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA Associated with the Development of Intermuscular Bones in Zebrafish. BIOLOGY 2022; 12:biology12010075. [PMID: 36671767 PMCID: PMC9855694 DOI: 10.3390/biology12010075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
Intermuscular bones (IBs) are small spicule-like bones in the muscular septum of fish, which affect their edible and economic value. The molecular mechanism of IB development is still uncertain. Numerous studies have shown that the ceRNA network, which is composed of mRNA, lncRNA, and miRNA, plays an important regulatory role in bone development. In this study, we compared the mRNA, lncRNA, and miRNA expression profiles in different IB development segments of zebrafish. The development of IBs includes two main processes, which are formation and growth. A series of genes implicated in the formation and growth of IBs were identified through gene differential expression analysis and expression pattern analysis. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the functions of genes implicated in the regulation of the formation and growth of IBs were quite different. Ribosome and oxidative phosphorylation signaling pathways were significantly enriched during the formation of IBs, suggesting that many proteins are required to form IBs. Several pathways known to be associated with bone development have been shown to play an important role in the growth of IBs, including calcium, ECM-receptor interaction, Wnt, TGF-β, and hedgehog signaling pathways. According to the targeting relationship and expression correlation of mRNA, lncRNA, and miRNA, the ceRNA networks associated with the growth of IBs were constructed, which comprised 33 mRNAs, 9 lncRNAs, and 7 miRNAs. This study provides new insight into the molecular mechanism of the development of IBs.

Abstract
Mesenchymal-derived stromal or progenitor cells, commonly called "MSCs," have attracted significant clinical interest for their remarkable abilities to promote tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation. Recent studies have shown that MSCs' therapeutic effects, originally attributed to the cells' direct differentiation capacity into the tissue of interest, are largely driven by the biomolecules the cells secrete, including cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and extracellular vesicles containing miRNA. This secretome coordinates upregulation of endogenous repair and immunomodulation in the local microenvironment through crosstalk of MSCs with host tissue cells. Therapeutic applications for MSCs and their secretome-derived products often involve in vitro monolayer expansion. However, consecutive passaging of MSCs significantly alters their therapeutic potential, inducing a broad shift from a pro-regenerative to a pro-inflammatory phenotype. A consistent by-product of in vitro expansion of MSCs is the onset of replicative senescence, a state of cell arrest characterized by an increased release of proinflammatory cytokines and growth factors. However, little is known about changes in the secretome profile at different stages of in vitro expansion. Some culture conditions and bioprocessing techniques have shown promise in more effectively retaining the pro-regenerative and anti-inflammatory MSC phenotype throughout expansion. Understanding how in vitro expansion conditions influence the nature and function of MSCs, and their associated secretome, may provide key insights into the underlying mechanisms driving these alterations. Elucidating the dynamic and diverse changes in the MSC secretome at each stage of in vitro expansion is a critical next step in the development of standardized, safe, and effective MSC-based therapies.

Abstract
Objective: We have already demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells from patients with ankylosing spondylitis (ASMSCs) exhibited greater adipogenic differentiation potential than those from healthy donors (HDMSCs). Here, we further investigated the expression profile of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and mRNA, aiming to explore the underlying mechanism of abnormal adipogenic differentiation in ASMSCs.Methods: HDMSCs and ASMSCs were separately isolated and induced with adipogenic differentiation medium for 10 days. Thereafter, lncRNAs and mRNAs that were differentially expressed (DE) between HDMSCs and ASMSCs were identified via high-throughput sequencing and confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT–PCR) assays. Then, the DE genes were annotated and enriched by GO analysis. In addition, protein interaction network was constructed to evaluate the interactions between DE mRNAs and to find hub nodes and study cliques. Besides, co-expression network analysis was carried out to assess the co-expressions between DE mRNA and DE lncRNAs, and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network analysis were conducted to predict the relationships among lncRNAs, mRNAs and miRNAs. The signaling pathways based on the DE genes and the predicted DE genes were enriched by KEGG analysis.Results: A total of 263 DE lncRNAs and 1376 DE mRNAs were found during adipogenesis in ASMSCs. qRT–PCR indicated that the expression of the top 20 mRNAs and the top 10 lncRNAs was consistent with the high-throughput sequencing data. Several lncRNAs (NR_125386.1, NR_046473.1 and NR_038937.1) and their target genes (SPN and OR1AIP2), together with the significantly co-expressed pairs of DE lncRNAs and DE mRNAs (SLC38A5-ENST00000429588.1, TMEM61-ENST00000400755.3 and C5orf46-ENST00000512300.1), were closely related to the enhanced adipogenesis of ASMSCs by modulating the PPAR signaling pathway.Conclusion: Our study analyzed the expression profiles of DE lncRNAs and DE mRNAs during adipogenesis in ASMSCs and HDMSCs. Several DE lncRNAs, DE mRNAs and signaling pathways that probably participate in the aberrant adipogenesis of ASMSCs were selected for future study. These results will likely provide potential targets for our intervention on fat metaplasia and subsequent new bone formation in patients with AS in the future.

Abstract
The aging of skin is a biological process affected by environmental or genetic factors. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the main environmental factor causing skin aging. Cumulative UV-induced photodamage of the skin tissue is associated with premature cellular senescence, extracellular degradation, and inflammatory responses in photoaging processes. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are untranslated transcripts and master regulators of protein-coding genes. ncRNAs have a critical regulatory role in maintaining skin structure, skin barrier function, morphogenesis, and development. Altered ncRNA expression has been reported in various skin disorders such as photoaging and skin cancers. ncRNAs contribute to the suppression and promotion of photoaging by modulating signaling pathways such as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and regulating inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and senescence-associated genes. Elucidation of the functions of ncRNAs will improve the identification of molecular mechanisms underlying photoaging, and can be used in the development of therapeutic approaches in skin health and prevention of sun-induced aging. This review summarized the currently described ncRNAs and their functions in photoaging.

Abstract
The therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) for various diseases and tissue repair is attracting attention. Here, EVs from conditioned medium of human bone marrow MSCs at passage 5 (P5) and 12 (P12) were analyzed using mouse Achilles tendon rupture model and lectin microarray. P5 MSC-EVs accelerated Achilles tendon healing compared with P12 MSC-EVs. Fucose-specific lectin TJA-II was indicated as a glycan marker for therapeutic MSC-EVs. The present study demonstrated that early passaged MSC-EVs promote Achilles tendon healing compared with senescent MSC-EVs. Glycans on MSC-EVs might provide useful tools to establish a quality control and isolation system for therapeutic MSC-EVs in regenerative medicine.

Hypoxia-Preconditioned Extracellular Vesicles from Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improve Cartilage Repair in Osteoarthritis. MEMBRANES 2022; 12:membranes12020225.

Abstract
In the past decade, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), and extracellular vesicles (EVs) may play a major role in the efficacy of this treatment. Hypoxia can change the cargo and biological functions of MSC-derived EVs (MSC-EVs). The aim of the present study was to determine whether the effects of hypoxia-preconditioned MSC-EVs on OA cartilage repair are superior to normoxia-preconditioned MSC-EVs. By using in vitro and in vivo OA models, we verified that hypoxia-preconditioned MSC-EVs improved chondrocyte proliferation and migration and suppressed chondrocyte apoptosis to a greater extent than normoxia-preconditioned MSC-EVs. Furthermore, we found that hypoxia altered the microRNA expression in MSC-EVs and identified four differentially expressed microRNAs: hsa-miR-181c-5p, hsa-miR-18a-3p, hsa-miR-376a-5p, and hsa-miR-337-5p. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that hypoxic pretreatment may promote cartilage repair by stimulating chondrocyte proliferation and migration and suppressing chondrocyte apoptosis through the miRNA-18-3P/JAK/STAT or miRNA-181c-5p/MAPK signaling pathway. Therefore, hypoxia-preconditioned EVs may be a novel treatment for OA.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been used in stem cell-based therapy for various diseases due to their self-renewing ability and differentiation potential to various types of cells and immunoprivileged properties. However, the proliferation capability and functionality of BMSCs are known to decline with aging, which severely limits the extensive applications of BMSC-based therapies. To date, the exact mechanism involved in the cellular senescence of BMSCs remains unclear. RNA is thought to be the initial molecular form of life on earth. It also acts as a transmitter and important regulator of genetic information expression. There are many kinds of small noncoding RNAs with different functions in cells that regulate important life activity processes in multiple dimensions, including development process, gene expression, genomic stability, and cellular senescence. In this study, a replicative senescence model of hBMSCs was established and the expression changes of small noncoding RNAs during senescence were detected by small RNA high-throughput sequencing analysis and qPCR. Small RNA sequencing results showed that there were significant differences in the expression of 203 miRNAs, 46 piRNAs, 63 snoRNAs, 12 snRNAs, and 7 rasiRNAs. The results of qPCR, which was performed for the verification of the sequencing results, showed that there were significant differences in the expression of 24 miRNAs, 34 piRNAs, 34 snoRNAs, and 2 snRNAs. These findings might provide a novel insight into hBMSC senescence and contribute to the development of new targeting senescence strategies.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have recently emerged as an important candidate for cell therapy and tissue regeneration. However, some limitations in translational research and therapies still exist, such as insufficient cell supply, inadequate differentiation potential, and decreased immune capacity, all of which result from replicative senescence during long-term in vitro culture. In vitro, stem cells lack a protective microenvironment owing to the absence of physical and biochemical cues compared with the in vivo niche, which provides dynamic physicochemical and biological cues. This difference results in accelerated aging after long-term in vitro culture. Therefore, it remains a great challenge to delay replicative senescence in culture. Constructing a microenvironment to delay replicative senescence of MSCs by maintaining their phenotypes, properties, and functions is a feasible strategy to solve this problem and has made measurable progress both in preclinical studies and clinical trials. Here, we review the current knowledge on the characteristics of senescent MSCs, explore the molecular mechanisms of MSCs senescence, describe the niche of MSCs, and discuss some current microenvironment strategies to delay MSCs replicative senescence that can broaden their range of therapeutic applications.
