Abstract
Cataract is the leading cause of blindness across the world. Age-related cataract (ARC) is the most common type of cataract, but its pathogenesis is not fully understood. Using three-dimensional finite element modeling combining experimental biotechnology, our study demonstrates that external forces during accommodation cause mechanical stress predominantly in lens cortex, basically matching the localization of opacities in cortical ARCs. We identified the cellular senescence and upregulation of PIEZO1 mRNA in HLECs under mechanical stretch. This mechano-induced senescence in HLECs might be mediated by PIEZO1-related pathways, portraying a potential biomechanical cause of cortical ARCs. Our study updates the fundamental insight towards cataractogenesis, paving the way for further exploration of ARCs pathogenesis and nonsurgical treatment.

Abstract
Cellular senescence plays a role in the development of aging-associated degenerative diseases. Cell therapy is recognized as a candidate treatment for degenerative diseases. To achieve the goal of cell therapy, the quality and good characteristics of cells are concerned. Cell expansion relies on two-dimensional culture, which leads to replicative senescence of expanded cells. This study aimed to investigate the effect of cell culture surface modification using fibronectin (FN) and vitronectin (VN) in adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) during long-term expansion. Our results showed that ADSCs cultured in FN and VN coatings significantly enhanced adhesion, proliferation, and slow progression of cellular senescence as indicated by lower SA-β-gal activities and decreased expression levels of genes including p16, p21, and p53. The upregulation of integrin α5 and αv genes influences phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K), and AKT proteins. FN and VN coatings upregulated AKT and MDM2 leading to p53 degradation. Additionally, MDM2 inhibition by Nutlin-3a markedly elevated p53 and p21 expression, increased cellular senescence, and induced the expression of inflammatory molecules including HMGB1 and IL-6. The understanding of FN and VN coating surface influencing ADSCs, especially senescence characteristics, offers a promising and practical point for the cultivation of ADSCs for future use in cell-based therapies.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 278:116438. [PMID: 38744065 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Phthalates are positioned as potential risk factors for health-related diseases. However, the effects of exposure to phthalates on accelerated aging and the potential modifications of physical activity remain unclear. A total of 2317 participants containing complete study-related information from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2010 were included in the current study. We used two indicators, the Klemera-Doubal method biological age acceleration (BioAgeAccel) and phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel), to assess the accelerated aging status of the subjects. Multiple linear regression (single pollutant models), weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression, Quantile g-computation, and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) models were utilized to explore the associations between urinary phthalate metabolites and accelerated aging. Three groups of physical activity with different intensities were used to evaluate the modifying effects on the above associations. Results indicated that most phthalate metabolites were significantly associated with BioAgeAccel and PhenoAgeAccel, with effect values (β) ranging from 0.16 to 0.21 and 0.16-0.37, respectively. The WQS indices were positively associated with BioAgeAccel (0.33, 95% CI: 0.11, 0.54) and PhenoAgeAccel (0.50, 95% CI: 0.19, 0.82). Quantile g-computation indicated that phthalate mixtures were associated with accelerated aging, with effect values of 0.15 (95% CI: 0.02, 0.28) for BioAgeAccel and 0.39 (95% CI: 0.12, 0.67) for PhenoAgeAccel respectively. The BKMR models indicated a significant positive association between the concentrations of urinary phthalate mixtures with the two indicators. In addition, we found that most phthalate metabolites showed the strongest effects on accelerated aging in the no physical activity group and that the effects decreased gradually with increasing levels of physical activity (P < 0.05 for trend). Similar results were also observed in the mixed exposure models (WQS and Quantile g-computation). This study indicates that phthalates exposure is associated with accelerated aging, while physical activity may be a crucial barrier against phthalates exposure-related aging.

Chronic low-dose deltamethrin exposure induces colon injury and aggravates DSS-induced colitis via promoting cellular senescence. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 274:116214.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deltamethrin (DLM) is a commonly used insecticide, which is harmful to many organs. Here, we explored the effects of chronic low-dose DLM residues on colon tissue and its potential mechanism. METHODS The mice were given long-term low-dose DLM by intragastric administration, and the body weights and disease activity index (DAI) scores of the mice were regularly recorded. The colon tissues were then collected for hematoxylin-eosin, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry staining. Besides, the RNA sequencing was performed to explore the potential mechanism. RESULTS Our results showed that long-term exposure to low-dose DLM could cause inflammation in mice colon tissue, manifested as weight loss, increased DAI score, increased apoptosis of colonic epithelial cells, and increased infiltration of inflammatory cells. However, we observed that after long-term exposure to DLM and withdrawal for a period of time, although apoptosis was restored, the recovery of colon inflammation was not ideal. Subsequently, we performed RNA sequencing and found that long-term DLM exposure could lead to the senescence of some cells in mice colon tissue. The results of staining of cellular senescence markers in colon tissue showed that the level of cellular senescence in the DLM group was significantly increased, and the p53 signalling related to senescence was also significantly activated, indicating that cellular senescence played a key role in DLM-induced colitis. We further treated mice with quercetin (QUE) after long-term DLM exposure, and found that QUE could indeed alleviate DLM-induced colitis. In addition, we observed that long-term accumulation of DLM could aggravate DSS-induced colitis in mice, and QUE treatment could reverse this scenario. CONCLUSION Continuous intake of DLM caused chronic colitis in mice, and the inflammation persisted even after discontinuation of DLM intake. This was attributed to the induction of cellular senescence in colon tissue. Treatment with QUE alleviated DLM-induced colitis by reducing cellular senescence. Long-term DLM exposure also aggravated DSS-induced colitis, which could be mitigated by QUE treatment.

Abstract
The role of the cellular microenvironment has recently gained attention in the context of muscle health, adaption, and disease. Emerging evidence supports major roles for the extracellular matrix (ECM) in regeneration and the dynamic regulation of the satellite cell niche. Satellite cells normally reside in a quiescent state in healthy muscle, but upon muscle injury, they activate, proliferate, and fuse to the damaged fibers to restore muscle function and architecture. This chapter reviews the composition and mechanical properties of skeletal muscle ECM and the role of these factors in contributing to the satellite cell niche that impact muscle regeneration. In addition, the chapter details the effects of satellite cell-matrix interactions and provides evidence that there is bidirectional regulation affecting both the cellular and extracellular microenvironment within skeletal muscle. Lastly, emerging methods to investigate satellite cell-matrix interactions will be presented.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is a force-producing organ composed of muscle tissues, connective tissues, blood vessels, and nerves, all working in synergy to enable movement and provide support to the body. While robust biomechanical descriptions of skeletal muscle force production at the body or tissue level exist, little is known about force application on microstructures within the muscles, such as cells. Among various cell types, skeletal muscle stem cells reside in the muscle tissue environment and play a crucial role in driving the self-repair process when muscle damage occurs. Early evidence indicates that the fate and function of skeletal muscle stem cells are controlled by both biophysical and biochemical factors in their microenvironments, but much remains to accomplish in quantitatively describing the biophysical muscle stem cell microenvironment. This book chapter aims to review current knowledge on the influence of biophysical stresses and landscape properties on muscle stem cells in heath, aging, and diseases.

Abstract
The meat production of broilers is crucial to economic benefits of broiler industries, while the slaughter performance of broilers is directly determined by skeletal muscle development. Hence, the broiler breeding for growth traits shows a great importance. As a kind of small noncoding RNA, microRNA (miRNA) can regulate the expression of multiple genes and perform a wide range of regulation in organisms. Currently, more and more studies have confirmed that miRNAs are closely associated with skeletal muscle development of chickens. Based on our previous miR-seq analysis (accession number: PRJNA668199), miR-460b-5p was screened as one of the key miRNAs probably involved in the growth regulation of chickens. However, the regulatory effect of miR-460b-5p on the development of chicken skeletal muscles is still unclear. Therefore, miR-460b-5p was further used for functional validation at the cellular level in this study. The expression pattern of miR-460b-5p was investigated in proliferation and differentiation stages of chicken primary myoblasts. It was showed that the expression level of miR-460b-5p gradually decreased from the proliferation stage (GM 50%) to the lowest at 24 h of differentiation. As differentiation proceeded, miR-460b-5p expression increased significantly, reaching the highest and stabilizing at 72 h and 96 h of differentiation. Through mRNA quantitative analysis of proliferation marker genes, CCK-8 and Edu assays, miR-460b-5p was found to significantly facilitate the transition of myoblasts from G1 to S phase and promote chicken myoblast proliferation. mRNA and protein quantitative analysis of differentiation marker genes, as well as the indirect immunofluorescence results of myotubes, revealed that miR-460b-5p significantly stimulated myotube development and promote chicken myoblast differentiation. In addition, the target relationship was validated for miR-460b-5p according to the dual-luciferase reporter assay and mRNA quantitative analysis, which indicates that miR-460b-5p was able to regulate RBM19 expression by specifically binding to the 3' UTR of RBM19. In summary, miR-460b-5p has positive regulatory effects on the proliferation and differentiation of chicken myoblasts, and RBM19 is a target gene of miR-460b-5p.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent disease among elderly people and is often characterized by chronic joint pain and dysfunction. Recently, growing evidence of chondrocyte senescence in the pathogenesis of OA has been found, and targeting senescence has started to be recognized as a therapeutic approach for OA. Piezo1, a mechanosensitive Ca2+ channel, has been reported to be harmful in sensing abnormal mechanical overloading and leading to chondrocyte apoptosis. However, whether Piezo1 can transform mechanical signals into senescence signals has rarely been reported. In this study, we found that severe OA cartilage expressed more Piezo1 and the senescence markers p16 and p21. 24 h of periodic mechanical stress induced chondrocyte senescence in vitro. In addition, we demonstrated the pivotal role of Piezo1 in OA chondrocyte senescence induced by mechanical stress. Piezo1 sensed mechanical stress and promoted chondrocyte senescence via its Ca2+ channel ability. Moreover, Piezo1 promoted SASP factors production under mechanical stress, particularly in IL-6 and IL-1β. p38MAPK and NF-κB activation were two key pathways that responded to Piezo1 activation and promoted IL-6 and IL-1β production, respectively. Collectively, our study revealed a connection between abnormal mechanical stress and chondrocyte senescence, which was mediated by Piezo1.

Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 166:115343.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease characterized by progressive cartilage loss that causes disability worldwide. The accumulation of senescent chondrocytes in aging human cartilage contributes to the high incidence of OA. Heterochromatin instability, the hallmark and driving factor of senescence, regulates the expression of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype that induces inflammation and cartilage destruction. However, the role of heterochromatin instability in OA progression remains unclear. In this work, we identified AURKB as a key senescence-associated chromatin regulator using bioinformatics methods. We found that AURKB was upregulated in OA cartilage and chondrocytes exposed to abnormal mechanical strain. Overexpression of AURKB could cause senescence and heterochromatin instability. Furthermore, the AURKB inhibitor Barasertib reversed senescence and heterochromatin instability in chondrocytes and alleviated OA in a rat model. Mechanistically, abnormal mechanical strain increased AURKB levels through the Piezo1/Ca2+ signaling axis. Blocking Piezo1/Ca2+ signaling by short interfering RNA against Piezo1 and Ca2+ chelator BAPTA could reduce the expression of AURKB and alleviate senescence in chondrocytes exposed to abnormal mechanical strain. In conclusion, our data confirmed that abnormal mechanical strain increases the expression of AURKB by activating the Piezo1/Ca2+ signaling axis, leading to destabilized heterochromatin and senescence in chondrocytes, whereas Barasertib consolidates heterochromatin, counteracts senescence and alleviates OA.

[PMID: 37975010 PMCID: PMC10643716 DOI: 10.1007/s12551-023-01154-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Piezo1 channels are mechanically activated (MA) cation channels that are involved in sensing of various mechanical perturbations, such as membrane stretch and shear stress, and play a crucial role in cell mechanotransduction. In response to mechanical stimuli, these channels open up and allow cations to travel into the cell and induce biochemical reactions that can change the cell's metabolism and function. Skeletal muscle cells/fibers inherently depend upon mechanical cues in the form of fluid shear stress and contractions (physical exercise). For example, an exposure of skeletal muscles to chronic mechanical loading leads to increased anabolism and fiber hypertrophy, while prolonged mechanical unloading results in muscle atrophy. MA Piezo1 channels have recently emerged as key mechanosensors that are capable of linking mechanical signals and intramuscular signaling in skeletal muscle cells/fibers. This review will summarize the emerging role of Piezo1 channels in the development and regeneration of skeletal muscle tissue as well as in the regulation of skeletal muscle atrophy. In addition, an overview of potential Piezo1-related signaling pathways underlying anabolic and catabolic processes will be provided. A better understanding of Piezo1's role in skeletal muscle mechanotransduction may represent an important basis for the development of therapeutic strategies for maintaining muscle functions under disuse conditions and in some disease states.

Abstract
Adult tissue-specific stem cells play a dominant role in tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Various in vivo markers of adult tissue-specific stem cells have been increasingly reported by lineage tracing in genetic mouse models, indicating that marked cells differentiation is crucial during homeostasis and regeneration. How adult tissue-specific stem cells with indicated markers contact the adjacent lineage with indicated markers is of significance to be studied. Novel methods bring future findings. Recent advances in lineage tracing, synthetic receptor systems, proximity labeling, and transcriptomics have enabled easier and more accurate cell behavior visualization and qualitative and quantitative analysis of cell-cell interactions than ever before. These technological innovations have prompted researchers to re-evaluate previous experimental results, providing increasingly compelling experimental results for understanding the mechanisms of cell-cell interactions. This review aimed to describe the recent methodological advances of dual enzyme lineage tracing system, the synthetic receptor system, proximity labeling, single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics in the study of adult tissue-specific stem cells interactions. An enhanced understanding of the mechanisms of adult tissue-specific stem cells interaction is important for tissue regeneration and maintenance of homeostasis in organisms.

Abstract
Since the discovery of the mechanosensitive Piezo1 channel in 2010, there has been a significant amount of research conducted to explore its regulatory role in the physiology and pathology of various organ systems. Recently, a growing body of compelling evidence has emerged linking the activity of the mechanosensitive Piezo1 channel to health and disease of the central nervous system. However, the exact mechanisms underlying these associations remain inadequately comprehended. This review systematically summarizes the current research on the mechanosensitive Piezo1 channel and its implications for central nervous system mechanobiology, retrospects the results demonstrating the regulatory role of the mechanosensitive Piezo1 channel on various cell types within the central nervous system, including neural stem cells, neurons, oligodendrocytes, microglia, astrocytes, and brain endothelial cells. Furthermore, the review discusses the current understanding of the involvement of the Piezo1 channel in central nervous system disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, stroke, and glioma.

Abstract
Macrophages are multifunctional immune system cells that are essential for the mechanical stimulation-induced control of metabolism. Piezo1 is a non-selective calcium channel expressed in multifarious tissues to convey mechanical signals. Here, a cellular model of tension was used to study the effect of mechanical stretch on the phenotypic transformation of macrophages and its mechanism. An indirect co-culture system was used to explore the effect of macrophage activation on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and a treadmill running model was used to validate the mechanism in vivo for in vitro studies. p53 was acetylated and deacetylated by macrophages as a result of mechanical strain being detected by Piezo1. This process is able to polarize macrophages towards M2 and secretes transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β1), which subsequently stimulates BMSCs migration, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Knockdown of Piezo1 inhibits the conversion of macrophages to the reparative phenotype, thereby affecting bone remodelling. Blockade of TGF-β I, II receptors and Piezo1 significantly reduced exercise-increased bone mass in mice. In conclusion, we showed that mechanical tension causes calcium influx, p53 deacetylation, macrophage polarization towards M2 and TGF-β1 release through Piezo1. These events support BMSC osteogenesis.

Abstract
Background A recent study has reported that maternal obesity is linked to placental oxidative damage and premature senescence. NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) is massively expressed in adipose tissue, and its induced reactive oxygen species have been found to contribute to cellular senescence. While, whether, in obese pregnancy, adipose tissue-derived NOX4 is the considerable cause of placental senescence remained elusive. Methods This study collected term placentas from obese and normal pregnancies and obese pregnant mouse model was constructed by a high fat diet to explore placental senescence. Furthermore, adipocyte-derived exosomes were isolated from primary adipocyte medium of obese and normal pregnancies to examine their effect on placenta functions in vivo and vitro. Results The placenta from the obese group showed a significant increase in placental oxidative damage and senescence. Exosomes from obese adipocytes contained copies of NOX4, and when cocultured with HTR8/SVneo cells, they induced severe oxidative damage, cellular senescence, and suppressed proliferation and invasion functions when compared with the control group. In vivo, adipocyte-derived NOX4-containing exosomes could induce placental oxidative damage and senescence, ultimately leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Conclusion In obesity, adipose tissue can secrete exosomes containing NOX4 which can be delivered to trophoblast resulting in severe DNA oxidative damage and premature placental senescence, ultimately leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness is a key stimulus affecting cellular differentiation, and osteoblasts are also in a three-dimensional (3D) stiff environment during the formation of bone tissues. However, it remains unclear how cells perceive matrix mechanical stiffness stimuli and translate them into intracellular signals to affect differentiation. Here, for the first time, we constructed a 3D culture environment by GelMA hydrogels with different amino substitution degrees and found that Piezo1 expression was significantly stimulated by the stiff matrix with high substitution; meanwhile, the expressions of osteogenic markers OSX, RUNX2, and ALP were also observably improved. Moreover, knockdown of Piezo1 in the stiff matrix revealed significant reduction of the abovementioned osteogenic markers. In addition, in this 3D biomimetic ECM, we also observed that Piezo1 can be activated by the static mechanical conditions of the stiff matrix, leading to the increase of the intracellular calcium content and accompanied with a continuous change in cellular energy levels as ATP was consumed during cellular differentiation. More surprisingly, we found that in the 3D stiff matrix, intracellular calcium as a second messenger promoted the activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and unc-51-like autophagy-activated kinase 1 (ULK1) axis and modestly modulated the level of autophagy, bringing it more similar to differentiated osteoblasts, with increased ATP energy metabolism consumption. Our study innovatively clarifies the regulatory role of the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 in a static mechanical environment on cellular differentiation and verifies the activation of the AMPK-ULK1 axis in the cellular ATP energy metabolism and autophagy level. Collectively, our research develops the understanding of the interaction mechanisms of biomimetic extracellular matrix biomaterials and cells from a novel perspective and provides a theoretical basis for bone regeneration biomaterials design and application.

J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:380. [PMID: 37221568 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03865-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The implantation of PMMA bone cement results in an immune response and the release of PMMA bone cement particles causes an inflammatory cascade. Our study discovered that ES-PMMA bone cement can induce M2 polarization of macrophages, which has an anti-inflammatory immunomodulatory effect. We also delved into the molecular mechanisms that underlie this process. METHODS In this study, we designed and prepared samples of bone cement. These included PMMA bone cement samples and ES-PMMA bone cement samples, which were implanted into the back muscles of rats. At 3, 7, and 14 days after the operation, we removed the bone cement and a small amount of surrounding tissue. We then performed immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence to observe the polarization of macrophages and the expression of related inflammatory factors in the surrounding tissues. The RAW264.7 cells were exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24 h to establish the macrophage inflammation model. Then, each group was treated with enoxaparin sodium medium, PMMA bone cement extract medium, and ES-PMMA bone cement extract medium, respectively, and cultured for another 24 h. We collected cells from each group and used flow cytometry to detect the expressions of CD86 and CD206 in macrophages. Additionally, we performed RT-qPCR to determine the mRNA levels of three markers of M1 macrophages (TNF-α, IL-6, iNOS) and two M2 macrophage markers (Arg-1, IL-10). Furthermore, we analyzed the expression of TLR4, p-NF-κB p65, and NF-κB p65 through Western blotting. RESULTS The immunofluorescence results indicate that the ES-PMMA group exhibited an upregulation of CD206, an M2 marker, and a downregulation of CD86, an M1 marker, in comparison to the PMMA group. Additionally, the immunohistochemistry results revealed that the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α expression were lower in the ES-PMMA group than in the PMMA group, while the expression level of IL-10 was higher in the ES-PMMA group. Flow cytometry and RT-qPCR analyses revealed that the expression of M1-type macrophage marker CD86 was significantly elevated in the LPS group compared to the NC group. Additionally, M1-type macrophage-related cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and iNOS were also found to be increased. However, in the LPS + ES group, the expression levels of CD86, TNF-α, IL-6, and iNOS were decreased, while the expression of M2-type macrophage markers CD206 and M2-type macrophage-related cytokines (IL-10, Arg-1) were increased compared to the LPS group. In comparison to the LPS + PMMA group, the LPS + ES-PMMA group demonstrated a down-regulation of CD86, TNF-α, IL-6, and iNOS expression levels, while increasing the expression levels of CD206, IL-10, and Arg-1. Western blotting results revealed a significant decrease in TLR4/GAPDH and p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 in the LPS + ES group when compared to the LPS group. Additionally, the LPS + ES-PMMA group exhibited a decrease in TLR4/GAPDH and p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 levels when compared to the LPS + PMMA group. CONCLUSION ES-PMMA bone cement is more effective than PMMA bone cement in down-regulating the expression of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. Additionally, it induces macrophages to polarize towards the M2 phenotype, making it a crucial player in anti-inflammatory immune regulation.

Biomolecules 2023; 13:biom13050873. [PMID: 37238743 DOI: 10.3390/biom13050873] [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: 02/26/2023] [Revised: 04/30/2023] [Accepted: 05/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
As natural medicines in complementary and alternative medicine, edible and medicinal resources are being gradually recognized throughout the world. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, about 80% of the worldwide population has used edible and medicinal resource products to prevent and treat diseases. Polysaccharides, one of the main effective components in edible and medicinal resources, are considered ideal regulators of various biological responses due to their high effectiveness and low toxicity, and they have a wide range of possible applications for the development of functional foods for the regulation of common, frequently occurring, chronic and severe diseases. Such applications include the development of polysaccharide products for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases that are difficult to control by a single treatment, which is of great value to the aging population. Therefore, we evaluated the potential of polysaccharides to prevent neurodegeneration by their regulation of behavioral and major pathologies, including abnormal protein aggregation and neuronal damage caused by neuronal apoptosis, autophagy, oxidative damage, neuroinflammation, unbalanced neurotransmitters, and poor synaptic plasticity. This includes multi-target and multi-pathway regulation involving the mitochondrial pathway, MAPK pathway, NF-κB pathway, Nrf2 pathway, mTOR pathway, PI3K/AKT pathway, P53/P21 pathway, and BDNF/TrkB/CREB pathway. In this paper, research into edible and medicinal resource polysaccharides for neurodegenerative diseases was reviewed in order to provide a basis for the development and application of polysaccharide health products and promote the recognition of functional products of edible and medicinal resources.

Mechanical force drives the initial mesenchymal-epithelial interaction during skin organoid development. Theranostics 2023; 13:2930-2945. [PMID: 37284452 PMCID: PMC10240816 DOI: 10.7150/thno.83217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Stem cells self-organize to form organoids that generate mini-organs that resemble the physiologically-developed ones. The mechanism by which the stem cells acquire the initial potential for generating mini-organs remains elusive. Here we used skin organoids as an example to study how mechanical force drives initial epidermal-dermal interaction which potentiates skin organoids to regenerate hair follicles. Methods: Live imaging analysis, single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis, and immunofluorescence were used to analyze the contractile force of dermal cells in skin organoids. Bulk RNA-sequencing analysis, calcium probe detection, and functional perturbations were used to verify that calcium signaling pathways respond to the contractile force of dermal cells. In vitro mechanical loading experiment was used to prove that the stretching force triggers the epidermal Piezo1 expression which negatively regulates dermal cell attachment. Transplantation assay was used to test the regenerative ability of skin organoids. Results: We found that dermal cell-derived contraction force drives the movement of dermal cells surrounding the epidermal aggregates to trigger initial mesenchymal-epithelial interaction (MEI). In response to dermal cell contraction force, the arrangement of the dermal cytoskeleton was negatively regulated by the calcium signaling pathway which further influences dermal-epidermal attachment. The native contraction force generated from the dermal cell movement exerts a stretching force on the adjacent epidermal cells, activating the stretching force sensor Piezo1 in the epidermal basal cells during organoid culture. Epidermal Piezo1 in turn drives strong MEI to negatively regulate dermal cell attachment. Proper initial MEI by mechanical-chemical coupling during organoid culture is required for hair regeneration upon transplantation of the skin organoids into the back of the nude mice. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that mechanical-chemical cascade drives the initial event of MEI during skin organoid development, which is fundamental to the organoid, developmental, and regenerative biology fields.

Abstract
Cellular mechanisms whereby quiescent stem cells sense tissue injury and transition to an activated state are largely unknown. Quiescent skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSCs, also called satellite cells) have elaborate, heterogeneous projections that rapidly retract in response to muscle injury. They may therefore act as direct sensors of their niche environment. Retraction is driven by a Rac-to-Rho GTPase activity switch that promotes downstream MuSC activation events. These and other observations lead to several hypotheses: (1) projections are morphologically dynamic at quiescence, providing a surveillance function for muscle damage; (2) quiescent projection dynamics are regulated by the relative balance of Rac and Rho activities promoted by niche-derived cues; (3) projections, particularly their associated filopodia, sense tissue damage via changes to the biomechanical properties of the niche and/or detection of signaling cues released by damaged myofibers; and (4) the dynamic nature of projections result in a population of MuSCs with heterogeneous functional properties. These concepts may extend to other types of quiescent stem cells, as well as prove useful in translational research settings.

Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 2023; 324:C728-C740. [PMID: 36717101 PMCID: PMC10027092 DOI: 10.1152/ajpcell.00544.2022] [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: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 are mechanosensitive cation channels that are highly expressed in numerous tissues throughout the body and exhibit diverse, cell-specific functions in multiple organ systems. Within the musculoskeletal system, PIEZO1 functions to maintain muscle and bone mass, sense tendon stretch, and regulate senescence and apoptosis in response to mechanical stimuli within cartilage and the intervertebral disc. PIEZO2 is essential for transducing pain and touch sensations as well as proprioception in the nervous system, which can affect musculoskeletal health. PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 have been shown to act both independently as well as synergistically in different cell types. Conditions that alter PIEZO channel mechanosensitivity, such as inflammation or genetic mutations, can have drastic effects on these functions. For this reason, therapeutic approaches for PIEZO-related disease focus on altering PIEZO1 and/or PIEZO2 activity in a controlled manner, either through inhibition with small molecules, or through dietary control and supplementation to maintain a healthy cell membrane composition. Although many opportunities to better understand PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 remain, the studies summarized in this review highlight how crucial PIEZO channels are to musculoskeletal health and point to promising possible avenues for their modulation as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Mechanosensitive ion channels sense mechanical stimuli applied directly to the cellular membranes or indirectly through their tethered components, provoking cellular mechanoresponses. Among others, Piezo1 mechanosensitive ion channel is a relatively novel Ca2+-permeable channel that is primarily present in non-sensory tissues. Recent studies have demonstrated that Piezo1 plays an important role in Ca2+-dependent cell death, including apoptosis and ferroptosis, in the presence of mechanical stimuli. It has also been proven that cancer cells are sensitive to mechanical stresses due to higher expression levels of Piezo1 compared to normal cells. In this review, we discuss Piezo1-mediated cell death mechanisms and therapeutic strategies to inhibit or induce cell death by modulating the activity of Piezo1 with pharmacological drugs or mechanical perturbations induced by stretch and ultrasound.

Abstract
The needs of modern regenerative medicine for biodegradable polymers are wide and varied. Restoration of the viability of the vascular tree is one of the most important components of the preservation of the usefulness of organs and tissues. The creation of vascular implants compatible with blood is an important task of vascular bioengineering. The function of the endothelial layer of the vessel, being largely responsible for the development of thrombotic complications, is of great importance for hemocompatibility. The development of surfaces with specific characteristics of biomaterials that are used in vascular technologies is one of the solutions for their correct endothelialization. Linear polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable structural polymeric materials suitable for obtaining various types of implants and tissue engineering, having a wide range of structural and physicomechanical properties. The use of PHA of various monomeric compositions in endothelial cultivation makes it possible to evaluate the influence of material properties, especially surface characteristics, on the functional state of cells. It has been established that PHA samples with the inclusion of 3-hydroxyhexanoate have optimal characteristics for the formation of a human umbilical vein endothelial cell, HUVEC, monolayer in terms of cell morphology as well as the levels of expression of vinculin and VE-cadherin. The obtained results provide a rationale for the use of PHA copolymers as materials for direct contact with the endothelium in vascular implants.

Abstract
Muscle satellite cells (MuSCs), myogenic stem cells in skeletal muscles, play an essential role in muscle regeneration. After skeletal muscle injury, quiescent MuSCs are activated to enter the cell cycle and proliferate, thereby initiating regeneration; however, the mechanisms that ensure successful MuSC division, including chromosome segregation, remain unclear. Here, we show that PIEZO1, a calcium ion (Ca2+)-permeable cation channel activated by membrane tension, mediates spontaneous Ca2+ influx to control the regenerative function of MuSCs. Our genetic engineering approach in mice revealed that PIEZO1 is functionally expressed in MuSCs and that Piezo1 deletion in these cells delays myofibre regeneration after injury. These results are, at least in part, due to a mitotic defect in MuSCs. Mechanistically, this phenotype is caused by impaired PIEZO1-Rho signalling during myogenesis. Thus, we provide the first concrete evidence that PIEZO1, a bona fide mechanosensitive ion channel, promotes proliferation and regenerative functions of MuSCs through precise control of cell division.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2022; 18:e2201056.

Abstract
Bone repair in real time is a challenging medical issue for elderly patients; this is mainly because aged bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) possess limited osteogenesis potential and repair capacity. In this study, triboelectric stimulation technology is used to achieve bone repair via mechanosensation of Piezo1 by fabricating a wearable pulsed triboelectric nanogenerator (WP-TENG) driven by human body movement. A peak value of 30 µA has the optimal effects to rejuvenate aged BMSCs, enhance their osteogenic differentiation, and promote human umbilical vein endothelial cell tube formation. Further, previous studies demonstrate that triboelectric stimulation of a WP-TENG can reinforce osteogenesis of BMSCs and promote the angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Mechanistically, aged BMSCs are rejuvenated by triboelectric stimulation via the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1. Thus, the osteogenesis potential of BMSCs is enhanced and the tube formation capacity of HUVECs is improved, which is further confirmed by augmented bone repair and regeneration in in vivo investigations. This study provides a potential signal transduction mechanism for rejuvenating aged BMSCs and a theoretical basis for bone regeneration using triboelectric stimulation generated by a WP-TENG.

[PMID: 35743058 PMCID: PMC9224226 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23126616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Revised: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 06/11/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Piezo1 channels are highly mechanically-activated cation channels that can sense and transduce the mechanical stimuli into physiological signals in different tissues including skeletal muscle. In this focused review, we summarize the emerging evidence of Piezo1 channel-mediated effects in the physiology of skeletal muscle, with a particular focus on the role of Piezo1 in controlling myogenic precursor activity and skeletal muscle regeneration and vascularization. The disclosed effects reported by pharmacological activation of Piezo1 channels with the selective agonist Yoda1 indicate a potential impact of Piezo1 channel activity in skeletal muscle regeneration, which is disrupted in various muscular pathological states. All findings reported so far agree with the idea that Piezo1 channels represent a novel, powerful molecular target to develop new therapeutic strategies for preventing or ameliorating skeletal muscle disorders characterized by an impairment of tissue regenerative potential.
