Mesenchymal stem cells biological and biotechnological advances: Implications for clinical applications. Eur J Pharmacol 2024; 977:176719. [PMID: 38849038 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176719] [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: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells that are able to differentiate into multiple lineages including bone, cartilage, muscle and fat. They hold immunomodulatory properties and therapeutic ability to treat multiple diseases, including autoimmune and chronic degenerative diseases. In this article, we reviewed the different biological properties, applications and clinical trials of MSCs. Also, we discussed the basics of manufacturing conditions, quality control, and challenges facing MSCs in the clinical setting. METHODS Extensive review of the literature was conducted through the databases PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane. Papers published since 2015 and covering the clinical applications and research of MSC therapy were considered. Furthermore, older papers were considered when referring to pioneering studies in the field. RESULTS The most widely studied stem cells in cell therapy and tissue repair are bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Adipose tissue-derived stem cells became more common and to a lesser extent other stem cell sources e.g., foreskin derived MSCs. MSCs therapy were also studied in the setting of COVID-19 infections, ischemic strokes, autoimmune diseases, tumor development and graft rejection. Multiple obstacles, still face the standardization and optimization of MSC therapy such as the survival and the immunophenotype and the efficiency of transplanted cells. MSCs used in clinical settings displayed heterogeneity in their function despite their extraction from healthy donors and expression of similar surface markers. CONCLUSION Mesenchymal stem cells offer a rising therapeutic promise in various diseases. However, their potential use in clinical applications requires further investigation.

Epidemiology and Treatment Outcomes of Tuberculosis With Chronic Hepatitis B Infection-California, 2016-2020. Clin Infect Dis 2024; 79:223-232. [PMID: 38531668 DOI: 10.1093/cid/ciae169] [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: 12/31/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Improved epidemiologic and treatment data for active tuberculosis (TB) with chronic hepatitis B virus (cHBV) infection might inform and encourage screening and vaccination programs focused on persons at risk of having both conditions. METHODS We matched the California Department of Public Health TB registry during 2016-2020 to the cHBV registry using probabilistic matching algorithms. We used chi-square analysis to compare the characteristics of persons with TB and cHBV with those with TB only. We compared TB treatment outcomes between these groups using modified Poisson regression models. We calculated the time between reporting of TB and cHBV diagnoses for those with both conditions. RESULTS We identified 8435 persons with TB, including 316 (3.7%) with cHBV. Among persons with TB and cHBV, 256 (81.0%) were non-US-born Asian versus 4186 (51.6%) with TB only (P < .0001). End-stage renal disease (26 [8.2%] vs 322 [4.0%]; P < .001) and HIV (21 [6.7%] vs 247 [3.0%]; P = .02) were more frequent among those with TB and cHBV compared with those with TB only. Among those with both conditions, 35 (11.1%) had TB diagnosed >60 days before cHBV (median, 363 days) and 220 (69.6%) had TB diagnosed >60 days after cHBV (median, 3411 days). CONCLUSIONS Persons with TB and cHBV were found more frequently in certain groups compared with TB only, and infrequently had their conditions diagnosed together. This highlights an opportunity to improve screening and treatment of TB and cHBV in those at high risk for coinfection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, several studies have observed that chronic hepatitis B virus infection is associated with the pathogenesis of kidney disease. However, the extent of the correlation between hepatitis B virus infection and the chronic kidney disease risk remains controversial. METHODS In the present study, we searched all eligible literature in seven databases in English and Chinese. The random effects model was used to conduct a meta-analysis. Quality of included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Scale. RESULTS In this analysis, a total of 31 studies reporting the association between hepatitis B virus infection and chronic kidney disease risk were included. The results showed a significant positive association between hepatitis B virus infection and the risk of chronic kidney disease (pooled OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.12-1.29), which means that hepatitis B virus increases the risk of developing chronic kidney disease. CONCLUSION This study found that hepatitis B virus infection was associated with a significantly increased risk of chronic kidney disease. However, the current study still cannot directly determine this causal relationship. Thus, more comprehensive prospective longitudinal studies are needed in the future to provide further exploration and explanation of the association between hepatitis B virus and the risk of developing chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Kidney Disease (KD), has a high global prevalence and accounts for one of the most prominent causes of morbidity and mortality in the twenty-first century. Despite the advances in our understanding of its pathophysiology, the only available therapy options are dialysis and kidney transplantation. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have proven to be a viable choice for KD therapy due to their antiapoptotic, immunomodulatory, antioxidative, and pro-angiogenic activities. However, the low engraftment, low survival rate, diminished paracrine ability, and delayed delivery of MSCs are the major causes of the low clinical efficacy. A number of preconditioning regimens are being tested to increase the therapeutic capabilities of MSCs. In this review, we highlight the various strategies to prime MSCs and their protective effects in kidney diseases.

Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to assess the value of routine screening for renal damage in cases of B viral infection, by looking for proteinuria and elevated creatinemia. Materials & methods We investigate the frequency and associated factors of renal impairment in patients with viral B hepatopathy. Results Pathological albuminuria was confirmed in 44.73%. The chronic kidney disease with slightly decreased filtration rate was found in 21.05%. In multivariate analysis, only BMI was an independent factor for pathological albuminuria (p = 0.013) and only age was an independent predictor of chronic kidney disease (p = 0.056). Conclusion Urine dipstick and creatinemia are useful for routine screening in viral B hepatopathy especially in the elderly and overweight.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HBV-GN is one of the most common secondary kidney diseases in China. Entecavir is a first-line antiviral therapy in patients with HBV-GN. OBJECTIVE This retrospective study explored whether entecavir is effective and safe for the treatment of HBV-GN with renal insufficiency. METHODS We screened patients diagnosed with HBV-GN in The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University who had elevated serum creatinine levels. Group 1 (30 patients) was given entecavir as antiviral treatment. Group 2 (28 patients) was treated with ARBs. Changes in renal function and the possible influencing factors were observed, with a mean follow-up duration of 36 months. RESULTS At the end of follow-up, the elevation in the serum creatinine level and reduction in the eGFR were greater in group 1 than in group 2. The overall renal survival rate, using eGFR < 15 ml/min as the primary renal end point, was 96.7% in group 1 and 67.9% in group 2. Urine protein excretion was decreased in both groups. Treatment with entecavir and the remission of proteinuria were protective factors against renal function impairment, while a lower baseline eGFR was a risk factor for progression to ESRD. CONCLUSIONS Entecavir slows the progression of renal function impairment in HBV-GN and exerts a significant renal protective effect.

Abstract
Objectives: This study examined the age structure and burden of non-liver noncommunicable diseases in population with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in the Western Pacific Region (WPR) from 1990 to 2019. Methods: We estimated ageing trends and the prevalence of non-liver NCDs among the HBV-infected population and the general population in 31 countries/areas in the Western Pacific Region from 1990 to 2019 based on the Global Burden of Disease 2019 dataset. Results: The proportion of individuals aged 60 or older among the HBV-infected population has increased at a faster rate compared to the general population, whereas the proportion of individuals younger than 19 years has decreased rapidly over the past three decades. Among the HBV-infected population, the prevalence of most (29/31) NCDs increased from 1990 to 2019, with the top three most significant increases found for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (789.94% increase), prostate cancer (512.40% increase), and kidney cancer (411.34% increase). The prevalence of NCDs among the HBV-infected population increased faster than in the general population over the past three decades, especially in countries with rapid population ageing. Conclusion: This study highlights the increasing burden of non-liver comorbidities among the HBV-infected population. The integrated management of non-liver NCDs among this population should be implemented.

Abstract
RATIONALE Various side effects of interferon alfa-2b (IFN-α2b) have been reported. However, no relevant research has been conducted on the identification and treatment scheme selection for IFN-α2b induced severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). PATIENT CONCERNS A 41-years-old man with a long history of hepatitis B who developed severe active SLE after IFN-α2b therapy for 24 months, with complete and persistent remission of clinical and laboratory abnormalities after IFN-α2b withdrawal, was not observed. DIAGNOSIS The patient was diagnosed with interferon-associated lupus by a multidisciplinary team involving pharmacists, and lupus nephritis by renal biopsy. INTERVENTIONS Methylprednisolone (40 mg/day) with intravenous cyclophosphamide (600 mg/body weight) was initiated and the symptoms were partially relieved. Cyclophosphamide was increased from 600 mg to 850 mg at the pharmacist's recommendation. OUTCOMES The patient showed a favorable response to these therapies. LESSONS Clinical pharmacists collaborated with other members of the health care team to diagnose and treat adverse reactions, resulting in improved patient management.

Abstract
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is associated with a risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially in Asian populations. Data from the Thai national health insurance system was used to assess CKD incidence in patients receiving antiretroviral therapy in real-world practice. We analyzed data from patients who initiated one of the following first-line regimens: zidovudine + lamivudine + nevirapine (AZT + 3TC + NVP); zidovudine + lamivudine + efavirenz (AZT + 3TC + EFV); tenofovir + lamivudine + nevirapine (TDF + 3TC + NVP); tenofovir + lamivudine/emtricitabine + efavirenz (TDF + 3TC/FTC + EFV); and tenofovir +lamivudine +lopinavir/ritonavir (TDF + 3TC + LPV/r). CKD was defined as glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for >3 months, or a confirmed 2010 WHO diagnosis (ICD-10 code N183, N184, or N185). Death competing risk survival regression models were used. Among 27,313 participants, with a median age of 36.8 years and median follow-up of 2.3 years, 245 patients (0.9%) were diagnosed with CKD (incidence 3.2 per 1000 patient-years; 95% CI 2.8−3.6). Compared with patients receiving AZT + 3TC + NVP, the risk of CKD measured by adjusted sub-distribution hazard ratio (aSHR) was 6.5 (95% CI 3.9−11.1) in patients on TDF + 3TC + LPV/r, 3.8 (95% CI 2.3−6.0) in TDF + 3TC + NVP, and 1.6 (95% CI 1.2−2.3) in TDF + 3TC/FTC + EFV. Among patients receiving TDF, compared with those receiving TDF + 3TC/FTC + EFV, the aSHR was 4.0 (95% CI 2.3−6.8) in TDF + 3TC + LPV/r and 2.3 (95% CI 1.4−3.6) in TDF + 3TC + NVP. TDF was associated with an increased risk of CKD, especially when combined with LPV/r or NVP.

Hou B, Lin C, Hao Z. Chronic hepatitis B virus infection increases the risk of upper urinary calculi. BMC Urol 2022; 22:82. [PMID: 35668522 PMCID: PMC9169271 DOI: 10.1186/s12894-022-01038-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Although hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a recognized risk factor for renal diseases, little is known about HBV infection in individuals with upper urinary calculi (UUC). We investigated the relationship between chronic HBV infection and UUC. Methods We retrospectively analysed data from 1399 patients who were discharged from the Department of Urology (2017–2018). The diagnosis of UUC was determined using urinary tract ultrasonography or computed tomography, and HBV infection was evaluated by a positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test. Data on patients with and without UUC and HBsAg-positive and HBsAg-negative patients were compared by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results Data on chronic HBV infection and UUC were available for 1062 patients, including 514 who presented with UUC and 548 who did not. Overall, 5.8% of total patients, 8.0% of UUC patients and 3.8% of non-UUC patients had chronic HBV infection. UUC patients (41/514) had a significantly higher prevalence of HBsAg positivity (OR 2.175; 95% CI 1.267–3.734; P = 0.004) than non-UUC patients (21/548). After stratifying by sex, the relative odds of HBsAg positivity were statistically significant in men (OR 2.156; 95% CI 1.162–4.003; P = 0.015) but not in women (OR 2.947; 95% CI 0.816–10.643; P = 0.099). The incidence of urinary pH > 6 and staghorn stones was significantly higher in HBsAg-positive UUC patients than in HBsAg-negative UUC patients. Conclusion This is the first study to demonstrate that chronic HBV infection is strongly associated with UUC, at least in men. The urinary pH > 6 and staghorn stones were more common in UUC patients with chronic HBV infection.

Lan W, Wang Y, Zhou Z, Sun X, Zhang Y, Zhang F. Metabolic Regulation of Hepatitis B Virus Infection in HBV-Transgenic Mice. Metabolites 2022; 12:287. [PMID: 35448475 PMCID: PMC9031567 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12040287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a worldwide health burden. Metabolomics analysis has revealed HBV-induced metabolism dysregulation in liver tissues and hepatocytes. However, as an infectious disease, the tissue-specific landscape of metabolic profiles of HBV infection remains unclear. To fill this gap, we applied untargeted nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomic analysis of the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, pancreas, and intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum) in HBV-transgenic mice and their wild-type littermates. Strikingly, we found systemic metabolic alterations induced by HBV in liver and extrahepatic organs. Significant changes in metabolites have been observed in most tissues of HBV-transgenic mice, except for ileum. The metabolic changes may provide novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of HBV infection. Moreover, tissue-specific metabolic profiles could speed up the study of HBV induced systemic metabolic reprogramming, which could help follow the progression of HBV infection and explain the underlying pathogenesis.

Chronic Kidney Disease-Associated Itch (CKD-aI) in Children-A Narrative Review. Toxins (Basel) 2021; 13:toxins13070450. [PMID: 34209560 PMCID: PMC8309841 DOI: 10.3390/toxins13070450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2021] [Revised: 06/26/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition of widespread epidemiology and serious consequences affecting all organs of the organism and associated with significant mortality. The knowledge on CKD is rapidly evolving, especially concerning adults. Recently, more data is also appearing regarding CKD in children. Chronic itch (CI) is a common symptom appearing due to various underlying dermatological and systemic conditions. CI may also appear in association with CKD and is termed chronic kidney disease-associated itch (CKD-aI). CKD-aI is relatively well-described in the literature concerning adults, yet it also affects children. Unfortunately, the data on paediatric CKD-aI is particularly scarce. This narrative review aims to describe various aspects of CKD-aI with an emphasis on children, based on the available data in this population and the data extrapolated from adults. Its pathogenesis is described in details, focusing on the growing role of uraemic toxins (UTs), as well as immune dysfunction, altered opioid transmission, infectious agents, xerosis, neuropathy and dialysis-associated aspects. Moreover, epidemiological and clinical aspects are reviewed based on the few data on CKD-aI in children, whereas treatment recommendations are proposed as well, based on the literature on CKD-aI in adults and own experience in managing CI in children.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text. Whereas tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) can lead to renal adverse events, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) has a more favorable renal safety profile. However, the impact of replacing TDF with TAF on renal function and liver parameters among HIV/hepatitis B virus (HBV)-coinfected individuals with renal dysfunction remains unclear.
