Protective effects of villi mesenchymal stem cells on human umbilical vein endothelial cells by inducing SPOCD1 expression in cases of gestational diabetes mellitus. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2023; 686:149177. [PMID: 37953105 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2023.149177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is characterized by a lack of response to insulin in pregnancies, and often accompanied by severe complications. GDM is associated with structural and functional alterations, particularly endothelial dysfunction, in various tissues. This study is aimed to investigate the effect of placental mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the endothelial biological function of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and their molecular mechanisms. METHODS Villi mesenchymal stem cells (VMSCs) were co-cultured with HUVECs, and transcriptomic analysis of differential genes was performed in HUVECs under high-glucose induction. Lentiviral transfection was performed to construct HUVECs with stable knockdown or overexpression of SPOCD1. The immunohistochemical assays were used to detect the expression of SPOCD1 in GDM patients. TUNEL fluorescence staining was applied for detection of the HUVEC apoptosis. β galactosidase staining assay was performed to detect the cell senescence. Electron microscopy was used to detect the cell pyroptosis. qRT-PCR and western blot assays were conducted for identifying the mRNA & protein expressions of genes. RESULTS VMSCs, when co-cultured with HUVECs, could inhibit the apoptosis, pyroptosis and senescence induced by high-glucose condition in HUVECs. Transcriptomic results showed an upregulation of SPOCD1 expression induced by VMSCs in HUVECs. Overexpression of SPOCD1 inhibited high-level glucose-induced apoptosis, pyroptosis and senescence in HUVECs via the β-catenin pathway. CONCLUSION VMSCs induce β-catenin activation by upregulating the expression of SPOCD1 in HUVECs, which ultimately inhibits high-level glucose-induced apoptosis, pyroptosis and senescence in HUVECs. This observation provides potential therapeutic insight for future GDM treatment.

Biomed Pharmacother 2022; 152:113252. [PMID: 35687912 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulative evidence suggests that the biological behavior of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) is regulated by their surrounding niche, in which cytokines function as one of the main mediators for the interaction between CSCs and their microenvironment in the colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS We characterized the presentation of CSCs and the interleukin (IL)- 8 network in the adenoma/CRC epithelium using quantitative real-time PCR (q-PCR), immunohistochemistry (IHC) and double immunofluorescence. In addition, the capacity of IL-1β to stimulate epithelial IL-8 production in colon cancer Caco-2 cells was examined in vitro and the IL-8 product was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS IHC observation showed increased expression of both CSCs and IL-8 in the adenoma and CRC epithelium, and q-PCR results revealed that increased expression of IL-1β transcript was strongly correlated with increased IL-8 transcript levels in both adenoma and CRC tissues. Double immunofluorescence images demonstrated the coexpression of the IL-8 receptors IL-8RA and IL-8RB with LGR5 labeled CSCs in CRC tissue sections. Consistently, in vitro experiments showed that coculture of Caco-2 cells with IL-1β at concentrations of 1, 5, 10 and 20 ng/ml resulted in a dose-dependent release of IL-8, which could be specifically inhibited by cotreatment with the IL-1β receptor antagonist. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate activation of the IL-8 network in the niche of CSCs from the precancerous adenoma stage to the CRC stage, which is potentially stimulated by IL-1β in CRC cells.

Abstract
Bone vasculature influences osteogenesis and haematopoiesis in the bone microenviroment. Mechanical loading has been shown to stimulate the formation of osteogenesis-related type H vessels in an ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis mouse model. To determine the loading-driven mechanism of angiogenesis and the formation of type H vessels in bone, we evaluated the roles of PI3K/Akt signaling and erythropoiesis in the bone marrow. The daily application of mechanical loading (1 N at 5 Hz for 6 min/day) for 2 weeks on OVX mice inhibited osteoclast activity, associated with an increase in the number of osteoblasts and trabecular volume ratio. Mechanical loading enhanced bone vasculature and vessel formation, as well as PI3K/Akt phosphorylation and erythropoiesis in the bone marrow. Notably, LY294002, an inhibitor of PI3K signaling, blocked the tube formation by endothelial progenitor cells, as well as their migration and wound healing. The conditioned medium, derived from erythroblasts, also promoted the function of HUVECs with elevated levels of VEGF, CD31, and Emcn. Collectively, this study demonstrates that mechanical loading prevents osteoporotic bone loss by promoting angiogenesis and type H vessel formation. This load-driven preventing effect is in part mediated by PI3K/Akt signaling and erythropoiesis in the bone marrow.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) possess self-renewal and multilineage differentiation potential and exhibit great potential for the treatment of bone tissue defects caused by inflammation. Previous studies have indicated that static magnetic field (SMF) can enhance the proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). SMF has been widely used to repair bone defects and for orthodontic and implantation treatment. In this study, we revealed that a 320 mT SMF upregulates the protein expression levels of cytokines such as MCM7 and PCNA in proliferating PDLSCs. Cell counting kit-8 results revealed that the SMF group had higher optical density values than the control group. The ratio of cells in the S phase to those in the G2/M phase was significantly increased after exposure to a 320 mT SMF. In scratch assays, the SMF-treated PDLSCs exhibited a higher migration rate than the sham-exposed group after 24 h of culture, indicating that the SMF promoted the migratory ability of PDLSCs. The activity level of the early differentiation marker alkaline phosphatase and the late marker matrix mineralization, as well as osteoblast-specific gene and protein expression, were enhanced in PDLSCs exposed to the SMF. Furthermore, AKT signaling pathway was activated by SMF. Our data demonstrated that the potential mechanism of action of SMF may enhance PDLSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation by activating the phosphorylated AKT pathway. The elucidation of this molecular mechanism may lead to a better understanding of bone repair responses and aid in improved stem cell-mediated regeneration.

Curr Issues Mol Biol 2022; 44:578-596.

Abstract
At present, there is no effective way to treat the consequences of spinal cord injury (SCI). SCI leads to the death of neural and glial cells and widespread neuroinflammation with persisting for several weeks after the injury. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy is one of the most promising approaches in the treatment of this injury. The aim of this study was to characterize the expression profile of multiple cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and so-called neuromarkers in the serum of an SCI patient treated with autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs). SCI resulted in a significant increase in the levels of neuromarkers and proteins involved in the inflammatory process. BM-MSCs administration resulted in significant changes in the levels of neuromarkers (S100, GFAP, and pNF-H) as well as changes in the expression of proteins and growth factors involved in the inflammatory response following SCI in the serum of a patient with traumatic SCI. Our preliminary results encouraged that BM-MSCs with their neuroprotective and immunomodulatory effects could affect the repair process after injury.

Jolkinolide B inhibits proliferation or migration and promotes apoptosis of MCF-7 or BT-474 breast cancer cells by downregulating the PI3K-Akt pathway. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 282:114581. [PMID: 34464697 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114581] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2021] [Revised: 08/20/2021] [Accepted: 08/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The diterpenoids extracted from Euphorbia kansui S.L. Liou ex S.B.Ho, Euphorbia fischeriana Steud. have good antitumor effects. Jolkinolide B has anti-breast cancer effect, but it is unclear whether it has different therapeutic effects between luminal A subtype and luminal B subtype breast cancer. AIM OF THE STUDY This study investigated the Jolkinolide B has different therapeutic, important targets and pathways effects between luminal A subtype and luminal B subtype breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used bioinformatics to predict the biological process and molecular mechanism of Jolkinolide B in treating two types of breast cancer. Then, in vitro, cultured MCF-7 cells and BT-474 cells were divided into control group, PI3K inhibitor + control group, Jolkinolide B group and PI3K inhibitor + Jolkinolide B group. The CCK-8 assay, Flow cytometric analysis and Transwell cell migration assay was used to detect the cell proliferation, apoptosis, and migration in each group, respectively. ELISA was used to measure the content of Akt and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) in cell lysis buffer. RESULTS Compared to luminal A breast cancer, Jolkinolide B had more targets, proliferation, migration processes and KEGG pathways when treating luminal B subtype breast cancer. Jolkinolide B significantly prolonged the survival time of luminal B subtype breast cancer patients. Compared to the control group, the cell proliferation absorbance value (A value) and migration number of the two kinds of breast cancer cells in the Jolkinolide B group were decreased (P < 0.01, n = 6), and the number of apoptotic cells was increased (P < 0.01, n = 6). Compared to the Jolkinolide B group, the A value and migration number of the two types of breast cancer cells were significantly decreased in the PI3K inhibitor + Jolkinolide B group (P < 0.01, n = 6), and the number of apoptotic cells was significantly increased (P < 0.01, n = 6). In addition, compared to MCF-7 cells, the A value and migration number of BT-474 cells stimulated with Jolkinolide B were significantly decreased (P < 0.01, n = 6), and the number of apoptotic cells was significantly increased (P < 0.01, n = 6). Akt and p-Akt protein levels in the two breast cancer cell lines in the Jolkinolide B group were all decreased (P < 0.01, n = 6), especially in BT-474 cells stimulated by Jolkinolide B. CONCLUSION Jolkinolide B regulates the luminal A and luminal B subtypes of breast cancer through PI3K-Akt, EGFR and other pathways. Jolkinolide B has more significant therapeutic effect on luminal B subtype breast cancer. In vitro, experiments verified that Jolkinolide B significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration activity of BT-474 breast cancer cells by downregulating the PI3K-Akt pathway.

Adv Healthc Mater 2022; 11:e2101873.

Abstract
The principle challenge for engineering viable, cell-laden hydrogel constructs of clinically-relevant size, is rapid vascularization, in order to moderate the finite capacity of passive nutrient diffusion. A multiscale vascular approach, with large open channels and bulk microcapillaries may be an admissible approach to accelerate this process, promoting overall pre-vascularization for long-term viability of constructs. However, the limited availability of bioinks that possess suitable characteristics that support both fabrication of complex architectures and formation of microcapillaries, remains a barrier to advancement in this space. In this study, gelatin-norbornene (Gel-NOR) is investigated as a vascular bioink with tailorable physico-mechanical properties, which promoted the self-assembly of human stromal and endothelial cells into microcapillaries, as well as being compatible with extrusion and lithography-based biofabrication modalities. Gel-NOR constructs containing self-assembled microcapillaries are successfully biofabricated with varying physical architecture (fiber diameter, spacing, and orientation). Both channel sizes and cell types affect the overall structural changes of the printed constructs, where cross-signaling between both human stromal and endothelial cells may be responsible for the reduction in open channel lumen observed over time. Overall, this work highlights an exciting three-way interplay between bioink formulation, construct design, and cell-mediated response that can be exploited towards engineering vascular tissues.
