Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) originating from the umbilical cord (UC) or Wharton's jelly (WJ) have attracted substantial interest due to their potential to augment therapeutic approaches for a wide range of disorders. These cells demonstrate a wide range of capabilities in the process of differentiating into a multitude of cell types. Additionally, they possess a significant capacity for proliferation and are conveniently accessible. Furthermore, they possess a status of being immune-privileged, exhibit minimal tumorigenic characteristics, and raise minimal ethical concerns. Consequently, they are well-suited candidates for tissue regeneration and the treatment of diseases. Additionally, UC-derived MSCs offer a substantial yield compared to other sources. The therapeutic effects of these MSCs are closely associated with the release of nanosized extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles (MVs), containing lipids, microRNAs, and proteins that facilitate intercellular communication. Due to their reduced tumorigenic and immunogenic characteristics, in addition to their convenient manipulability, EVs have arisen as a viable alternative for the management of disorders. The favorable characteristics of UC-MSCs or WJ-MSCs and their EVs have generated significant attention in clinical investigations encompassing diverse pathologies. Therefore, we present a review encompassing current preclinical and clinical investigations, examining the implications of UC-MSCs in diverse diseases, including those affecting bone, cartilage, skin, liver, kidney, neural, lung, cardiovascular, muscle, and retinal tissues, as well as conditions like cancer, diabetes, sepsis, and others.

Zhang X, Zheng Y, Wang G, Liu Y, Wang Y, Jiang X, Liang Y, Zhao X, Li P, Zhang Y. Stimulated Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Enhance the Osteogenesis and Cranial Bone Regeneration through IL-32 Mediated P38 Signaling Pathway. Stem Cells Int 2024; 2024:6693292. [PMID: 38510207 PMCID: PMC10954361 DOI: 10.1155/2024/6693292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Our previous study found that it could significantly increase the expression of IL32 after stimulating the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (S-HuMSCs). However, its role on the osteogenesis and cranial bone regeneration is still largely unknown. Here, we investigated the possible mechanism of this effect. Material and Methods. A series of experiments, including single-cell sequencing, flow cytometry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and western blotting, were carried out to evaluate the characteristic and adipogenic-osteogenic differentiation potential of IL-32 overexpression HuMSCs (IL-32highHuMSCs) through mediating the P38 signaling pathway. Moreover, a rat skull bone defect model was established and treated by directly injecting the IL-32highHuMSCs to conduct its role on the cranial bone regeneration. Results In total, it found that compared to HuMSCs, IL32 was significantly increased and promoted the osteogenic differentiation (lower expressions of PPARγ, Adiponectin, and C/EBPα, and increased expressions of RUNX2, ALP, BMP2, OPN, SP7, OCN, and DLX5) in the S-HuMSCs (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the enhanced osteogenic differentiation of HuMSCs was recovered by IL-32 overexpression (IL-32highHuMSCs) through activating the P38 signaling pathway, like as the S-HuMSCs (P < 0.05). However, the osteogenic differentiation potential of IL-32highHuMSCs was significantly reversed by the P38 signaling pathway inhibitor SB203580 (P < 0.05). Additionally, the HuMSCs, S-HuMSCs, and IL-32highHuMSCs all presented adipogenic-osteogenic differentiation potential, with higher levels of CD73, CD90, and CD105, and lower CD14, CD34, and CD45 (P > 0.05). Furthermore, these findings were confirmed by the rat skull bone defect model, in which the cranial bone regeneration was more pronounced in the IL-32highHuMSCs treated group compared to those in the HuMSCs group, with higher expressions of RUNX2, ALP, BMP2, and DLX5 (P < 0.05). Conclusion We have confirmed that S-HuMSCs can enhance the osteogenesis and cranial bone regeneration through promoting IL-32-mediated P38 signaling pathway, which is proved that IL-32 may be a therapeutic target, or a biomarker for the treatment of cranial bone injuries.

Cell Prolif 2024; 57:e13522. [PMID: 37340715 PMCID: PMC10771102 DOI: 10.1111/cpr.13522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Our previous finding revealed that the Wnt10b RNA expression of osteoporotic adipose-derived stem cells (OP-ASCs) with impaired osteogenic capacity was significantly reduced than that of ASCs. There are no ideas that the relationship between the OP-ASCs' impaired osteogenic potential and Wnt10b expression. This study aimed to indicate the potential molecular mechanisms and functional role of Wnt10b in OP-ASCs, as well as to investigate a potential application to reverse the OP-ASCs' impaired osteogenic differentiation potential. The OP-ASCs and ASCs were harvested from the inguinal fat of osteoporosis (OP) mice with bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) and normal mice. qPCR and WB were used to detect the different levels of the expression of the Wnt10b RNA in both OP-ASCs and ASCs. Lentiviral-mediated regulation of Wnt10b expression was employed for OP-ASCs, and the detection of the expression levels of key molecules in the Wnt signalling pathway and key osteogenic factors was performed through qPCR and WB in vitro experiments. The capacity of OP-ASCs to osteogenesis was determined using alizarin red staining. Lastly, the repair effect of the BCP scaffolds incorporating modified OP-ASCs on the critical-sized calvarial defects (CSCDs) in OP mice was scanned and detected by micro-computed tomography, haematoxylin and eosin staining, Masson's trichrome staining and immunohistochemistry. First, we discovered that both the RNA and protein expression levels of Wnt10b were significantly lower in OP-ASCs than that in ASCs. In vitro experiments, upregulation of Wnt10b could activate the Wnt signalling pathway, and increase expression of β-catenin, Lef1, Runx2 and osteopontin (Opn), thereby enhancing the osteogenic ability of OP-ASCs. In addition, the OP-ASCs with Wnt10b-overexpressing could promote the repair of CSCD in osteoporotic mice with increasing new bone volume, bone mineral density, and increased expression of Opn in new bone in vivo. Taken together, overexpression of Wnt10b could partially facilitate the differentiation of OP-ASCs towards osteogenesis and accelerated the healing of bone defects by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway in vitro and in vivo experiments. This study confirmed the important role of Wnt10b in regulating the osteogenic differentiation capability of OP-ASCs and indicated Wnt10b could be a potential therapeutic target for reversing the impaired osteogenic capabilities of OP-ASCs to therapy bone defects of OP patients.

Extracellular Vesicles Secreted by TGF-β1-Treated Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Fracture Healing by SCD1-Regulated Transference of LRP5. Stem Cells Int 2023; 2023:4980871. [PMID: 36970598 PMCID: PMC10033213 DOI: 10.1155/2023/4980871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Bone fracture repair is a multiphased regenerative process requiring paracrine intervention throughout the healing process. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication and the regeneration of tissue, but their transplantation is difficult to regulate. The paracrine processes that occur in MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have been exploited for this study. The primary goal was to determine whether EVs secreted by TGF-β1-stimulated MSCs (MSCTGF-β1-EVs) exhibit greater effects on bone fracture healing than EVs secreted by PBS-treated MSCs (MSCPBS-EVs). Our research was conducted using an in vivo bone fracture model and in vitro experiments, which included assays to measure cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis, as well as in vivo and in vitro gain/loss of function studies. In this study, we were able to confirm that SCD1 expression and MSC-EVs can be induced by TGF-β1. After MSCTGF-β1-EVs are transplanted in mice, bone fracture repair is accelerated. MSCTGF-β1-EV administration stimulates human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) angiogenesis, proliferation, and migration in vitro. Furthermore, we were able to demonstrate that SCD1 plays a functional role in the process of MSCTGF-β1-EV-mediated bone fracture healing and HUVEC angiogenesis, proliferation, and migration. Additionally, using a luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation studies, we discovered that SREBP-1 targets the promoter of the SCD1 gene specifically. We also discovered that the EV-SCD1 protein could stimulate proliferation, angiogenesis, and migration in HUVECs through interactions with LRP5. Our findings provide evidence of a mechanism whereby MSCTGF-β1-EVs enhance bone fracture repair by regulating the expression of SCD1. The use of TGF-β1 preconditioning has the potential to maximize the therapeutic effects of MSC-EVs in the treatment of bone fractures.

Abstract
WNT10B, a member of the WNT family of secreted glycoproteins, activates the WNT/β-catenin signaling cascade to control proliferation, stemness, pluripotency, and cell fate decisions. WNT10B plays roles in many tissues, including bone, adipocytes, skin, hair, muscle, placenta, and the immune system. Aberrant WNT10B signaling leads to several diseases, such as osteoporosis, obesity, split-hand/foot malformation (SHFM), fibrosis, dental anomalies, and cancer. We reviewed WNT10B a decade ago, and here we provide a comprehensive update to the field. Novel research on WNT10B has expanded to many more tissues and diseases. WNT10B polymorphisms and mutations correlate with many phenotypes, including bone mineral density, obesity, pig litter size, dog elbow dysplasia, and cow body size. In addition, the field has focused on the regulation of WNT10B using upstream mediators, such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). We also discussed the therapeutic implications of WNT10B regulation. In summary, research conducted during 2012-2022 revealed several new, diverse functions in the role of WNT10B in physiology and disease.
