In vitro proliferation and differentiation of mouse spermatogonial stem cells in decellularized human placenta matrix. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2024; 112:e35414. [PMID: 38733611 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.35414] [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: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Utilizing natural scaffold production derived from extracellular matrix components presents a promising strategy for advancing in vitro spermatogenesis. In this study, we employed decellularized human placental tissue as a scaffold, upon which neonatal mouse spermatogonial cells (SCs) were cultured three-dimensional (3D) configuration. To assess cellular proliferation, we examined the expression of key markers (Id4 and Gfrα1) at both 1 and 14 days into the culture. Our quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed a notable increase in Gfrα1 gene expression, with the 3D culture group exhibiting the highest levels. Furthermore, the relative frequency of Gfrα1-positive cells significantly rose from 38.1% in isolated SCs to 46.13% and 76.93% in the two-dimensional (2D) and 3D culture systems, respectively. Moving forward to days 14 and 35 of the culture period, we evaluated the expression of differentiating markers (Sycp3, acrosin, and Protamine 1). Sycp3 and Prm1 gene expression levels were upregulated in both 2D and 3D cultures, with the 3D group displaying the highest expression. Additionally, acrosin gene expression increased notably within the 3D culture. Notably, at the 35-day mark, the percentage of Prm1-positive cells in the 3D group (36.4%) significantly surpassed that in the 2D group (10.96%). This study suggests that the utilization of placental scaffolds holds significant promise as a bio-scaffold for enhancing mouse in vitro spermatogenesis.

Abstract
Somatic stem cells have been obtained from solid organs and tissues, including the bone marrow, placenta, corneal stroma, periosteum, adipose tissue, dental pulp and skeletal muscle. These solid tissue-derived stem cells are often used for tissue repair, disease modelling and new drug development. In the past two decades, stem cells have also been identified in various body fluids, including urine, peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood, amniotic fluid, synovial fluid, breastmilk and menstrual blood. These body fluid-derived stem cells (BFSCs) have stemness properties comparable to those of other adult stem cells and, similarly to tissue-derived stem cells, show cell surface markers, multi-differentiation potential and immunomodulatory effects. However, BFSCs are more easily accessible through non-invasive or minimally invasive approaches than solid tissue-derived stem cells and can be isolated without enzymatic tissue digestion. Additionally, BFSCs have shown good versatility in repairing genitourinary abnormalities in preclinical models through direct differentiation or paracrine mechanisms such as pro-angiogenic, anti-apoptotic, antifibrotic, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, optimization of protocols is needed to improve the efficacy and safety of BFSC therapy before therapeutic translation.

Yin H, Mao K, Huang Y, Guo A, Shi L. Tendon stem/progenitor cells are promising reparative cell sources for multiple musculoskeletal injuries of concomitant articular cartilage lesions associated with ligament injuries. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:869. [PMID: 37968672 PMCID: PMC10647040 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04313-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Trauma-related articular cartilage lesions usually occur in conjunction with ligament injuries. Torn ligaments are frequently reconstructed with tendon autograft and has been proven to achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes. However, treatments for the concomitant articular cartilage lesions are still very insufficient. The current study was aimed to evaluate whether stem cells derived from tendon tissue can be considered as an alternative reparative cell source for cartilage repair. METHODS Primary human tendon stem/progenitor cells (hTSPCs) were isolated from 4 male patients (32 ± 8 years) who underwent ACL reconstruction surgery with autologous semitendinosus and gracilis tendons. The excessive tendon tissue after graft preparation was processed for primary cell isolation with an enzyme digestion protocol. Decellularization cartilage matrix (DCM) was used to provide a chondrogenic microenvironment for hTSPCs. Cell viability, cell morphology on the DCM, as well as their chondrogenic differentiation were evaluated. RESULTS DAPI staining and DNA quantitative analysis (61.47 μg per mg dry weight before and 2.64 μg/mg after decellularization) showed that most of the cells in the cartilage lacuna were removed after decellularization process. Whilst, the basic structure of the cartilage tissue was preserved and the main ECM components, collagen type II and sGAG were retained after decellularization, which were revealed by DMMB assay and histology. Live/dead staining and proliferative assay demonstrated that DCM supported attachment, survival and proliferation of hTSPCs with an excellent biocompatibility. Furthermore, gene expression analysis indicated that chondrogenic differentiation of hTSPC was induced by the DCM microenvironment, with upregulation of chondrogenesis-related marker genes, COL 2 and SOX9, without the use of exogenous growth factors. CONCLUSION DCM supported hTSPCs attachment and proliferation with high biocompatibility. Moreover, TSPCs underwent a distinct chondrogenesis after the induction of a chondrogenic microenvironment provided by DCM. These results indicated that TSPCs are promising reparative cell sources for promoting cartilage repair. Particularly, in the cohort that articular cartilage lesions occur in conjunction with ligament injuries, autologous TSPCs can be isolated from a portion of the tendon autograph harvested for ligaments reconstruction. In future clinical practice, combined ligament reconstruction with TSPCs- based therapy for articular cartilage repair can to be considered to achieve superior repair of these associated injuries, in which autologous TSPCs can be isolated from a portion of the tendon autograph harvested for ligaments reconstruction.

Abstract
Marine polysaccharides (MPs) are exceptional bioactive materials that possess unique biochemical mechanisms and pharmacological stability, making them ideal for various tissue engineering applications. Certain MPs, including agarose, alginate, carrageenan, chitosan, and glucan have been successfully employed as biological scaffolds in animal studies. As carriers of signaling molecules, scaffolds can enhance the adhesion, growth, and differentiation of somatic cells, thereby significantly improving the tissue regeneration process. However, the biological benefits of pure MPs composite scaffold are limited. Therefore, physical, chemical, enzyme modification and other methods are employed to expand its efficacy. Chemically, the structural properties of MPs scaffolds can be altered through modifications to functional groups or molecular weight reduction, thereby enhancing their biological activities. Physically, MPs hydrogels and sponges emulate the natural extracellular matrix, creating a more conducive environment for tissue repair. The porosity and high permeability of MPs membranes and nanomaterials expedite wound healing. This review explores the distinctive properties and applications of select MPs in tissue regeneration, highlighting their structural versatility and biological applicability. Additionally, we provide a brief overview of common modification strategies employed for MP scaffolds. In conclusion, MPs have significant potential and are expected to be a novel regenerative material for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Recently, degradable biopolymers have become increasingly important as potential environmentally friendly biomaterials, providing a wide range of applications in various fields. Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are biomacromolecules, which due to their unique properties have found applications in biomedicine, foodstuff, textiles, cosmetics, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, nanoelectronics, and environmental remediation. One of the important commercial polysaccharides produced on an industrial scale is xanthan. In recent years, the range of its application has expanded significantly. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is another unique EPS with a rapidly increasing range of applications. Due to the great prospects for their practical application, the development of their highly efficient production remains an important task. The present review summarizes the strategies for the cost-effective production of such important biomacromolecules as xanthan and BC and demonstrates for the first time common approaches to their efficient production and to obtaining new functional materials for a wide range of applications, including wound healing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, environmental remediation, nanoelectronics, and 3D bioprinting.

Abstract
Chitosan is a marine-origin polysaccharide obtained from the deacetylation of chitin, the main component of crustaceans’ exoskeleton, and the second most abundant in nature. Although this biopolymer has received limited attention for several decades right after its discovery, since the new millennium chitosan has emerged owing to its physicochemical, structural and biological properties, multifunctionalities and applications in several sectors. This review aims at providing an overview of chitosan properties, chemical functionalization, and the innovative biomaterials obtained thereof. Firstly, the chemical functionalization of chitosan backbone in the amino and hydroxyl groups will be addressed. Then, the review will focus on the bottom-up strategies to process a wide array of chitosan-based biomaterials. In particular, the preparation of chitosan-based hydrogels, organic–inorganic hybrids, layer-by-layer assemblies, (bio)inks and their use in the biomedical field will be covered aiming to elucidate and inspire the community to keep on exploring the unique features and properties imparted by chitosan to develop advanced biomedical devices. Given the wide body of literature that has appeared in past years, this review is far from being exhaustive. Selected works in the last 10 years will be considered.

Abstract
Chitosan, a naturally abundant cationic polymer, is chemically composed of cellulose-based biopolymers derived by deacetylating chitin. It offers several attractive characteristics such as renewability, hydrophilicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity towards gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as fungi, etc., because of which it is receiving immense attention as a biopolymer for a plethora of applications including drug delivery, protective coating materials, food packaging films, wastewater treatment, and so on. Additionally, its structure carries reactive functional groups that enable several reactions and electrochemical interactions at the biomolecular level and improves the chitosan’s physicochemical properties and functionality. This review article highlights the extensive research about the properties, extraction techniques, and recent developments of chitosan-based composites for drug, gene, protein, and vaccine delivery applications. Its versatile applications in tissue engineering and wound healing are also discussed. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives for chitosan in biomedical applications are elucidated.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) have paved a way for treating musculoskeletal diseases in a minimally invasive manner. The regenerative medicine cocktail involves the usage of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), either uncultured or culture-expanded cells along with growth factors, cytokines, exosomes, and secretomes to provide a better regenerative milieu in degenerative diseases. The successful regeneration of cartilage depends on the selection of the appropriate source of MSCs, the quality, quantity, and frequency of MSCs to be injected, and the selection of the patient at an appropriate stage of the disease. However, confirmation on the most favorable source of MSCs remains uncertain to clinicians. The lack of knowledge in the current cellular treatment is uncertain in terms of how beneficial MSCs are in the long-term or short-term (resolution of pain) and improved quality of life. Whether MSCs treatments have any superiority, exists due to sources of MSCs utilized in their potential to objectively regenerate the cartilage at the target area. Many questions on source and condition remain unanswered. Hence, in this review, we discuss the lineage differentiation potentials of various sources of MSCs used in the management of knee osteoarthritis and emphasize the role of tissue engineering in cartilage regeneration.

Abstract
Few effective therapies for cartilage repair have been found as cartilage has a low regenerative capacity. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, are produced by cells and contain bioactive components such as nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and other metabolites that have potential for treating cartilage injuries. Challenges like the difficulty in standardizing targeted therapy have prevented EVs from being used frequently as a treatment option. In this review we present current studies, mechanisms and delivery strategies of EVs. Additionally, we describe the challenges and future directions of EVs as therapeutic agents for cartilage repair. Repairing cartilage damage is challenging due to the tissue’s low regenerative capacity. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain bioactive components that may be able to treat cartilage injuries. However, EV-based therapy is not widely used. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding the use of EVs for cartilage repair, including the mechanisms, delivery strategies, challenges and future directions.

Abstract
The ability of cells to penetrate the scaffold and differentiate into chondrocyte is important in cartilage engineering. The aim of this research was to evaluate the use of silk fibroin 3D scaffold in facilitating the growth of stem cell and to study the role of L-ascorbic acid and platelet rich plasma (PRP) in proliferation and differentiation genes. Cell penetration and type II collagen content in the silk fibroin scaffold was analyzed by confocal microscopy. Relative expressions of CDH2, CCND1, CTNNB1 and COL2A1 were analyzed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). The silk fibroin 3D scaffold could facilitate cell penetration. L-ascorbic acid and PRP increased the expression of CDH2 and COL2A1 on the 21st day of treatment while PRP inhibited CTNNB1 and CCND1.
