Abstract
Increasing attention has been paid to the development of effective strategies for articular cartilage (AC) and osteochondral (OC) regeneration due to their limited self-reparative capacities and the shortage of timely and appropriate clinical treatments. Traditional cell-dependent tissue engineering faces various challenges such as restricted cell sources, phenotypic alterations, and immune rejection. In contrast, endogenous tissue engineering represents a promising alternative, leveraging acellular biomaterials to guide endogenous cells to the injury site and stimulate their intrinsic regenerative potential. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in endogenous tissue engineering strategies for AC and OC regeneration, with a focus on the tissue engineering triad comprising endogenous stem/progenitor cells (ESPCs), scaffolds, and biomolecules. Multiple types of ESPCs present within the AC and OC microenvironment, including bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs), synovial membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells (SM-MSCs), and AC-derived stem/progenitor cells (CSPCs), exhibit the ability to migrate toward injury sites and demonstrate pro-regenerative properties. The fabrication and characteristics of scaffolds in various formats including hydrogels, porous sponges, electrospun fibers, particles, films, multilayer scaffolds, bioceramics, and bioglass, highlighting their suitability for AC and OC repair, are systemically summarized. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the pivotal role of biomolecules in facilitating ESPCs migration, adhesion, chondrogenesis, osteogenesis, as well as regulating inflammation, aging, and hypertrophy-critical processes for endogenous AC and OC regeneration. Insights into the applications of endogenous tissue engineering strategies for in vivo AC and OC regeneration are provided along with a discussion on future perspectives to enhance regenerative outcomes.

Abstract
Osteochondral regeneration remains formidable challenges despite significant advances in microsurgery. Herein, an acellular trilayer cryogel (TC) with injectability, tunable pore sizes (80-200 µm), and appropriate compressive modulus (10.8 kPa) is manufactured from self-healable hydrogel under different gelling times through Schiff reaction between chitosan and difunctionalized polyurethane (DFPU). Bioactive molecules (Y27632 and dexamethasone) are respectively loaded in the top and bottom layers to form the Y27632/dexamethasone-loaded trilayer cryogel (Y/DEX-TC). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) seeded in Y/DEX-TC proliferated ≈350% in vitro and underwent chondrogenesis or osteogenesis in response to the respective release of Y or DEX in 14 days. Acupuncture is administered to animals in an attempt to modulate the innate regulatory system and mobilize endogenous MSCs for osteochondral defect regeneration. In vivo rabbit experiments using Y/DEX-TC combined with acupuncture successfully regulate SDF-1 and TGF-β1 levels, which possibly cause MSC migration toward Y/DEX-TC. The synergistic effect of cryogel and acupuncture on immunomodulation is verified with a ≈7.3-fold enhancement of the M2-/M1-macrophage population ratio by treatment of Y/DEX-TC combining acupuncture, significantly greater than ≈1.5-fold increase by acupuncture or ≈2.2-fold increase by Y/DEX-TC alone. This novel strategy using acellular drug-loaded cryogel and accessible acupuncture shows promise in treating osteochondral defects of joint damage.

Abstract
In the dynamic landscape of tissue engineering, the integration of tissue-engineered constructs (TECs) faces a dual challenge-initiating beneficial inflammation for regeneration while avoiding the perils of prolonged immune activation. As TECs encounter the immediate reaction of the immune system upon implantation, the unique immunomodulatory properties of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) emerge as key navigators. Harnessing the paracrine effects of MSCs, researchers aim to craft a localized microenvironment that not only enhances TEC integration but also holds therapeutic promise for inflammatory-driven pathologies. This review unravels the latest advancements, applications, obstacles, and future prospects surrounding the strategic alliance between MSCs and TECs, shedding light on the immunological symphony that guides the course of regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Background/purpose 3D-printed bone tissue engineering is becoming recognized as a key approach in dentistry for creating customized bone regeneration treatments fitting patients bone defects requirements. 3D bioprinting offers an innovative method to fabricate detailed 3D structures, closely emulating the native bone micro-environment and better bone regeneration. This study aimed to develop an 3D-bioprintable scaffold using a combination of alginate and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) with the Cellink® BioX printer, aiming to advance the field of tissue engineering. Materials and methods The physical and biological properties of the resulting 3D-printed scaffolds were evaluated at 10 %, 12 %, and 15 % alginate combined with 10 % β-TCP. The scaffolds were characterized through printability, swelling behavior, degradability, and element analysis. The biological assessment included cell viability, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Results 10 % alginate/β-TCP 3D printed at 25 °C scaffold demonstrated the optimal condition for printability, swelling capability, and degradability of cell growth and nutrient diffusion. Addition of β-TCP particles significantly improved the 3D printed material viscosity over only alginate (P < 0.05). 10 % alginate/β-TCP enhanced MG-63 cell's proliferation (P < 0.05) and alkaline phosphatase activity (P < 0.001). Conclusion This study demonstrated in vitro that 10 % alginate/β-TCP bioink characteristic for fabricating 3D acellular bioprinted scaffolds was the best approach. 10 % alginate/β-TCP bioink 3D-printed scaffold exhibited superior physical properties and promoted enhanced cell viability and alkaline phosphatase activity, showing great potential for personalized bone regeneration treatments.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Intervertebral disc degeneration is the primary etiology of low back pain and radicular pain. This review examines the roles of crucial chemokines in different stages of degenerative disc disease, along with interventions targeting chemokine function to mitigate disc degeneration. RECENT FINDINGS The release of chemokines from degenerated discs facilitates the infiltration and activation of immune cells, thereby intensifying the inflammatory cascade response. The migration of immune cells into the venous lumen is concomitant with the emergence of microvascular tissue and nerve fibers. Furthermore, the presence of neurogenic factors secreted by disc cells and immune cells stimulates the activation of pain-related cation channels in the dorsal root ganglion, potentially exacerbating discogenic and neurogenic pain and intensifying the degenerative cascade response mediated by chemokines. Gaining a deeper comprehension of the functions of chemokines and immune cells in these processes involving catabolism, angiogenesis, and injury detection could offer novel therapeutic avenues for managing symptomatic disc disease.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have shown potential in the repair and regeneration of tissues and organs via the use of engineered biomaterials and scaffolds. However, current constructs face limitations in replicating the intricate native microenvironment and achieving optimal regenerative capacity and functional recovery. To address these challenges, the utilization of decellularized tissues and cell-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) has emerged as a promising approach. These biocompatible and bioactive biomaterials can be engineered into porous scaffolds and grafts that mimic the structural and compositional aspects of the native tissue or organ microenvironment, both in vitro and in vivo. Bioactive dECM materials provide a unique tissue-specific microenvironment that can regulate and guide cellular processes, thereby enhancing regenerative therapies. In this review, we explore the emerging frontiers of decellularized tissue-derived and cell-derived biomaterials and bio-inks in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. We discuss the need for further improvements in decellularization methods and techniques to retain structural, biological, and physicochemical characteristics of the dECM products in a way to mimic native tissues and organs. This article underscores the potential of dECM biomaterials to stimulate in situ tissue repair through chemotactic effects for the development of growth factor and cell-free tissue engineering strategies. The article also identifies the challenges and opportunities in developing sterilization and preservation methods applicable for decellularized biomaterials and grafts and their translation into clinical products.

Abstract
Recruiting endogenous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vivo to bone defect sites shows great promise in cell therapies for bone tissue engineering, which tackles the shortcomings of delivering exogenous stem cells, including limited sources, low retention, stemness loss, and immunogenicity. However, it remains challenging to efficiently recruit stem cells while simultaneously directing cell differentiation in the dynamic microenvironment and promoting neo-regenerated tissue ingrowth to achieve augmented bone regeneration. Herein, a synthetic macroporous double-network hydrogel presenting nucleic acid aptamer and nano-inducer enhances BMSCs recruitment, and osteogenic differentiation is demonstrated. An air-in-water template enables the rapid construction of highly interconnective macroporous structures, and the physical self-assembly of DNA strands and chemical cross-linking of gelatin chains synergistically generate a resilient double network. The aptamer Apt19S and black phosphorus nanosheets-specific macroporous hydrogel demonstrate highly efficient endogenous BMSCs recruitment, cell differentiation, and extracellular matrix mineralization. Notably, the enhanced calvarial bone healing with promising matrix mineralization and new bone formation is accompanied by adapting this engineered hydrogel to the bone defects. The findings suggest an appealing material approach overcoming the traditional limitations of cell-delivery therapy that can inspire the future design of next-generation hydrogel for enhanced bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Endogenous stem cell-based in-situ tissue regeneration has recently gained considerable attention. In this study, we investigated the potential of a chemokine, SDF-1-mimic peptide (SMP), to promote endogenous stem cell-based in-situ wound healing. Our approach involved the development of a click crosslinked hyaluronic acid scaffold loaded with SMP (Cx-HA + SMP) to release SMP in a wound site. The Cx-HA scaffold maintained its structural integrity throughout the wound healing process and also captured endogenous stem cells. Gradual SMP release from the Cx-HA + SMP scaffold established a concentration gradient at the wound site. In animal wound experiments, Cx-HA + SMP exhibited faster wound contraction compared to Cx-HA + SDF-1. Additionally, Cx-HA + SMP resulted in approximately 1.2-1.6 times higher collagen formation compared to Cx-HA + SDF-1. SMP released from the Cx-HA + SMP scaffold promoted endogenous stem cell migration to the wound site 1.5 times more effectively than Cx-HA + SDF-1. Moreover, compared to Cx-HA + SDF-1, Cx-HA + SMP exhibited higher expression of CXCR4 and CD31, as well as the positive markers CD29 and CD44 for endogenous stem cells. The endogenous stem cells that migrated through Cx-HA + SMP regenerated into wound skin with minimal scar granule formation, similar to the normal tissue. In conclusion, SMP peptide offers greater convenience, while efficiently attracting migrating endogenous stem cells compared to the SDF protein. Our findings suggest that Cx-HA + SMP scaffolds hold promise as a strategy to enhance endogenous stem cell-based in-situ wound healing.

Injectable decellularized extracellular matrix hydrogel promotes salivary gland regeneration via endogenous stem cell recruitment and suppression of fibrogenesis. Acta Biomater 2023; 169:256-272. [PMID: 37557943 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.08.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023]
Abstract
Saliva is key to the maintenance of oral homeostasis. However, several forms of salivary gland (SG) disorders, followed by hyposalivation, often result in dental caries, oral infection, and decreased taste, which dramatically affect the quality of patient's life. Functional biomaterials hold great potential for tissue regeneration in damaged or dysfunctional SGs and maintaining the good health of oral cavity. Herein, we prepared an injectable hydrogel derived from decellularized porcine submandibular glands (pDSG-gel), the material and biological properties of the hydrogel were systematically investigated. First, good biocompatibility and bioactivities of the pDSG-gel were validated in 2D and 3D cultures of primary submandibular gland mesenchymal stem cells (SGMSCs). Especially, the pDSG-gel effectively facilitated SGMSCs migration and recruitment through the activation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, suggested by transcriptomic analysis and immunoblotting. Furthermore, proteomic analysis of the pDSG revealed that many extracellular matrix components and secreted factors were preserved, which may contribute to stem cell homing. The recruitment of endogenous SG cells was confirmed in vivo, upon in situ injection of the pDSG-gel into the defective SGs in rats. Acinar and ductal-like structures were evident in the injury sites after pDSG-gel treatment, suggesting the reconstruction of functional SG units. Meanwhile, histological characterizations showed that the administration of the pDSG-gel also significantly suppressed fibrogenesis within the injured SG tissues. Taken together, this tissue-specific hydrogel provides a pro-regenerative microenvironment for endogenous SG regeneration and holds great promise as a powerful and bioactive material for future treatments of SG diseases. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) has been acknowledged as one of the most promising biomaterials that recapitalizes the microenvironment in native tissues. Hydrogel derived from the dECM allows in situ administration for tissue repair. Herein, a tissue-specific dECM hydrogel derived from porcine salivary glands (pDSG-gel) was successfully prepared and developed for functional reconstruction of defective salivary gland (SG) tissues. The pDSG-gel effectively accelerated endogenous SG stem cells migration and their recruitment for acinar- and ductal-like regeneration, which was attributed to the activation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Additionally, the introduction of the pDSG-gel resulted in highly suppressed fibrogenesis in the defective tissues. These outcomes indicated that the pDSG-gel holds great potential in clinical translation toward SG regeneration through cell-free treatments.

Abstract
Skin wound is always accompanied with nerve damage, leading to significant sensory function loss. Currently, the functional matrix material based stem cell transplantation and in situ nerve regeneration are thought to be effective strategies, of which, how to recruit stem cells, retard senescence, and promote neural differentiation has been obstacle to be overcome. However, the therapeutic efficiency of the reported systems has yet to be improved and side effect reduced. Herein, a conduit matrix with three-dimensional ordered porous structures, regular porosity, appropriate mechanical strength, and conductive features was prepared by orienting the freezing technique, which was further filled with neural-directing exosomes to form a neural-stimulating matrix for providing hybrid physical-biochemical stimulations. This neural-stimulating matrix was then compacted with methacrylate gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel thin coat that loaded with chemokines and anti-senescence drugs, forming a multi-functional artificial niche (termed as GCr-CSL) that promotes MSCs recruitment, anti-senescence, and neural differentiation. GCr-CSL was shown to rapidly enhances in situ nerve regeneration in skin wound therapy, and with great potential in promoting sensory function recovery. This study demonstrates proof-of-concept in building a biomimetic niche to organize endogenous MSCs recruitment, differentiation, and functionalization for fast neurological and sensory recovery.

Abstract
Congenital aniridia is a panocular disorder that is typically characterized by iris hypoplasia and aniridia-associated keratopathy (AAK). AAK results in the progressive loss of corneal transparency and thereby loss of vision. Currently, there is no approved therapy to delay or prevent its progression, and clinical management is challenging because of phenotypic variability and high risk of complications after interventions; however, new insights into the molecular pathogenesis of AAK may help improve its management. Here, we review the current understanding about the pathogenesis and management of AAK. We highlight the biological mechanisms involved in AAK development with the aim to develop future treatment options, including surgical, pharmacological, cell therapies, and gene therapies.

Abstract
Multicellular spheroids made of stem cells can act as building blocks that fuse to capture complex aspects of native in vivo environments, but the effect of hydrogel viscoelasticity on cell migration from spheroids and their fusion remains largely unknown. Here, we investigated the effect of viscoelasticity on migration and fusion behavior of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) spheroids using hydrogels with a similar elasticity but different stress relaxation profiles. Fast relaxing (FR) matrices were found to be significantly more permissive to cell migration and consequent fusion of MSC spheroids. Mechanistically, inhibition of ROCK and Rac1 pathways prevented cell migration. Moreover, the combination of biophysical and biochemical cues provided by fast relaxing hydrogels and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) supplementation, respectively, resulted in a synergistic enhancement of migration and fusion. Overall, these findings emphasize the important role of matrix viscoelasticity in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strategies based on spheroids.

Syndecan-4 and stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha functionalized endovascular scaffold facilitates adhesion, spreading and differentiation of endothelial colony forming cells and functions under flow and shear stress conditions. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2023; 111:538-550.

Abstract
Acellular vascular scaffolds with capture molecules have shown great promise in recruiting circulating endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) to promote in vivo endothelialization. A microenvironment conducive to cell spreading and differentiation following initial cell capture are key to the eventual formation of a functional endothelium. In this study, syndecan-4 and stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha were used to functionalize an elastomeric biomaterial composed of poly(glycerol sebacate), Silk Fibroin and Type I Collagen, termed PFC, to enhance ECFC-material interaction. Functionalized PFC (fPFC) showed significantly greater ECFCs capture capability under physiological flow. Individual cell spreading area on fPFC (1474 ± 63 μm2 ) was significantly greater than on PFC (1187 ± 54 μm2 ) as early as 2 h, indicating enhanced cell-material interaction. Moreover, fPFC significantly upregulated the expression of endothelial cell specific markers such as platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (24-fold) and Von Willebrand Factor (11-fold) compared with tissue culture plastic after 7 days, demonstrating differentiation of ECFCs into endothelial cells. fPFC fabricated as small diameter conduits and tested using a pulsatile blood flow bioreactor were stable and maintained function. The findings suggest that the new surface functionalization strategy proposed here results in an endovascular material with enhanced endothelialization.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate if a high dose of the stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) plasmid improves outcome in a minipig model of chronic anal sphincter injury. Methods: Twenty-two female minipigs underwent excision of the posterior hemicircumference of the anal sphincter complex and were allowed to recover for 6 weeks. They were randomly allocated (n = 6) to receive either 5% dextrose (sham) or 2, 4, or 8 mg of SDF-1 plasmid at the defect site. Two control pigs received no surgery/treatment. Outcome measures included anal manometry at preinjury/pretreatment and 2, 4, and 8 weeks after treatment, recording the mean of eight pressure channels and the posterior channel alone, histopathology using Masson's trichrome, and immunohistochemistry using PGP9.5 for staining of neural structures, and CY3 staining for blood vessels. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error. Manometry analysis used two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by the Holm-Sidak test. Quantification of muscle/fibrosis was analyzed with a Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA on ranks. Results: Posterior anal pressures were significantly decreased in sham treated animals compared with controls (p = 0.04). In contrast, mean anal pressures at the four time points were not significantly different between groups (p > 0.05). The defect area of the sham treated group showed irregular muscle bundles, while all three SDF-1 treatment groups show organized muscle bundles, with the most organization in the higher dose groups. Quantification of Masson-stained slides showed no statistically significant differences between groups, but did show increased muscle volume in the area of defect in the treatment groups compared with sham. PGP9.5 and CY3 staining showed increased fluorescence in the higher dose groups compared with sham treatment. Conclusion: A single higher dose of the plasmid encoding SDF-1 may increase muscle volume in the area of a chronic defect. Impact statement Fecal or bowel incontinence as a result of a torn anal sphincter complex remains undetected for many years. The resulting defect does not respond well to surgical repair. Regenerating the anal sphincter complex with functional muscle has been a long-term goal. Stem cells home to a site of a chronic injury and cause regeneration when a cell signaling mechanism is available. Stromal cell-derived factor-1 is one such cytokine that has been well researched by us and others to have this effect. It is easy to use clinically and has been used in other applications in humans and considered safe.

Abstract
Human articular cartilage has a poor ability to self-repair, meaning small injuries often lead to osteoarthritis, a painful and debilitating condition which is a major contributor to the global burden of disease. Existing clinical strategies generally do not regenerate hyaline type cartilage, motivating research toward tissue engineering solutions. Prospective cartilage tissue engineering therapies can be placed into two broad categories: i) Ex situ strategies, where cartilage tissue constructs are engineered in the lab prior to implantation and ii) in situ strategies, where cells and/or a bioscaffold are delivered to the defect site to stimulate chondral repair directly. While commonalities exist between these two approaches, the core point of distinction-whether chondrogenesis primarily occurs "within" or "without" (outside) the body-can dictate many aspects of the treatment. This difference influences decisions around cell selection, the biomaterials formulation and the surgical implantation procedure, the processes of tissue integration and maturation, as well as, the prospects for regulatory clearance and clinical translation. Here, ex situ and in situ cartilage engineering strategies are compared: Highlighting their respective challenges, opportunities, and prospects on their translational pathways toward long term human cartilage repair.

Abstract
For patients with osteoporosis, the therapeutic outcomes of osteoimplants are substantially affected by the impaired proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation abilities of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). To improve bone-implant integration in osteoporotic condition, here we reported a one-step biomimetic surface strategy to introduce BMSC recruiting and osteoinductive abilities onto metallic osteoimplants. In our design, the bioadhesive molecular peptide mimic inspired by mussel foot proteins (Mfps) was used as molecular bridging for surface functionalization. Specifically, a BMSC-targeting peptide sequence (E7) and an osteogenic growth peptide (Y5) were grafted onto the titanium implant surfaces through a mussel adhesion mechanism. We found that a rational E7/Y5 feeding ratio could lead to an optimal dual functionalization capable of not only significantly improving the biocompatibility of the implant but also enabling it to recruit endogenous BMSCs for colonization, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation. Mechanistically, the E7-assisted in situ recruitment of endogenous BMSCs as well as the enhanced interfacial osteogenesis and osteointegration was associated with activation of the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) receptor on the cell surface and promotion of stromal cell-derived factor (SDF-1α) autocrine secretion. We anticipated that rational dual-functional surfaces through bioadhesive molecular mimics will provide a simple, effective, nonimmunogenic, and safe means to improve the clinical outcomes of intraosseous implants, especially under osteoporotic conditions.

Abstract
The fabrication of osteochondral scaffolds with both structural and biochemical cues to regulate endogenous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) behavior for cartilage and subchondral bone regeneration is still a challenge. To this end, a composite scaffold (BE-PSA) with gradient structure and programmed biomolecule delivery was prepared by fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing and multi-material-based modification. The 3D-printed polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold included upper pores of 200 μm for cartilage regeneration and lower pores of 400 μm for bone regeneration. For a sequential modulation of BMSCs behavior, fast-degrading sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel was used to deliver a burst release of E7 peptide to enhance BMSCs migration within 72 h, while a slowly-degrading silk fibroin (SF) porous matrix was used to provide a sustained release of B2A peptide to improve BMSCs dual-lineage differentiation lasting for >300 h, depending on the different degradation rates of SA hydrogel and SF matrix. The BE-PSA scaffold had good biocompatibility and could improve the migration and osteogenic/chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of spatial structures and programmed biomolecule delivery, the BE-PSA scaffold showed enhanced cartilage and subchondral bone regeneration in rabbit osteochondral defect model. This work not only provides a promising scaffold to guide BMSCs behavior for osteochondral regeneration but also offers a method for the fabrication of tissue engineering biomaterials based on the structural and biochemical modification.

Abstract
Objectives Erectile dysfunction is a major comorbidity of diabetes. Stem cell transplantation is a promising method to treat diabetic erectile dysfunction. In this study, we evaluated whether low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) could enhance the efficacy of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and investigated the underlying molecular mechanism. Materials and methods. Sixty 8-week-old male Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly divided into the normal control (NC) cohort or the streptozocin-induced diabetic ED cohort, which was further subdivided into DM, ADSC, LIPUS, and ADSC+LIPUS groups. Rats in the ADSC or ADSC+LIPUS group received ADSC intracavernosal injection. Rats in the LIPUS or ADSC+LIPUS group were treated with LIPUS. The intracavernous pressure (ICP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were recorded at Day 28 after injection. The corpus cavernosum tissues were harvested and subjected to histologic analysis and ELISA. The effects of LIPUS on proliferation and cytokine secretion capacity of ADSCs were assessed in vitro. RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analysis were applied to predict the mechanism involved, and western blotting and ELISA were used for verification. Results Rats in the ADSC+LIPUS group achieved significantly higher ICP and ICP/MAP ratios than those in the DM, ADSC, and LIPUS groups. In addition, the amount of cavernous endothelium and cGMP level also increased significantly in the ADSC+LIPUS group. In vitro experiments demonstrated that LIPUS promoted proliferation and cell cycle progression in ADSCs. The excretion of cytokines such as CXCL12, FGF2, and VEGF was also enhanced by LIPUS. Bioinformatic analysis based on RNA sequencing indicated that LIPUS stimulation might activate the MAPK pathway. We confirmed that LIPUS enhanced ADSC VEGF secretion through the Piezo-ERK pathway. Conclusion LIPUS enhanced the curative effects of ADSCs on diabetic erectile dysfunction through the activation of the Piezo-ERK-VEGF pathway. ADSC transplantation combined with LIPUS could be applied as a synergistic treatment for diabetic ED.

Abstract
Targeted delivery of pharmaceuticals is promising for efficient disease treatment and reduction in adverse effects. Nano or microstructured magnetic materials with strong magnetic momentum can be noninvasively controlled via magnetic forces within living beings. These magnetic carriers open perspectives in controlling the delivery of different types of bioagents in humans, including small molecules, nucleic acids, and cells. In the present review, we describe different types of magnetic carriers that can serve as drug delivery platforms, and we show different ways to apply them to magnetic targeted delivery of bioagents. We discuss the magnetic guidance of nano/microsystems or labeled cells upon injection into the systemic circulation or in the tissue; we then highlight emergent applications in tissue engineering, and finally, we show how magnetic targeting can integrate with imaging technologies that serve to assist drug delivery.

Abstract
Immune cells have emerged as powerful regulators of regenerative as well as pathological processes. The vast majority of regenerative immunoengineering efforts have focused on macrophages; however, growing evidence suggests that other cells of both the innate and adaptive immune system are as important for successful revascularization and tissue repair. Moreover, spatiotemporal regulation of immune cells and their signaling have a significant impact on the regeneration speed and the extent of functional recovery. In this review, we summarize the contribution of different types of immune cells to the healing process and discuss ways to manipulate and control immune cells in favor of vascularization and tissue regeneration. In addition to cell delivery and cell-free therapies using extracellular vesicles, we discuss in situ strategies and engineering approaches to attract specific types of immune cells and modulate their phenotypes. This field is making advances to uncover the extraordinary potential of immune cells and their secretome in the regulation of vascularization and tissue remodeling. Understanding the principles of immunoregulation will help us design advanced immunoengineering platforms to harness their power for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Collagen is the most widely distributed protein in human body. Within the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medical applications, collagen-based biomaterials have been extensively growing over the past decades. The focus of this review is mainly on periodontal regeneration. Currently, multiple innovations of collagen-based biomaterials have evolved, from hemostatic collagen sponges to bone/tissue regenerative scaffolds and injectable collagen matrices for gene or cell regenerative therapy. Collagen sources also differ from animal to marine and plant-extracted recombinant human type I collagen (rhCOL1). Animal-derived collagen has a number of substantiated concerns such as pathogenic contamination and transmission and immunogenicity, and rhCOL1 is a potential solution to those aforementioned issues. This review presents a brief overview of periodontal regeneration. Also, current applications of collagen-based biomaterials and their mechanisms for periodontal regeneration are provided. Finally, special attention is paid to mechanical, chemical, and biological properties of rhCOL1 in pre-clinical and clinical studies, and its future perspectives in periodontal regeneration are discussed.

Intracerebroventricular Administration of Human Umbilical Cord Blood—Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Induces Transient Inflammation in a Transgenic Mouse Model and Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10030563. [PMID: 35327365 PMCID: PMC8945031 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10030563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 02/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Previously we conducted a Phase I/IIa clinical trial in nine patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Unexpectedly, all patients who were given injections of human-umbilical cord-blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs) developed fever which subsided after 24 h. Several possible causes of transient fever include bacterial infection, inflammatory reaction from the cell culture media composition, or the cells themselves. To delineate these causes, first we compared the levels of several cytokines in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of AD patients who received saline (placebo) or hUCB-MSC injections, respectively. Compared to the placebo group, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and c-reactive protein (CRP) levels were increased in the hUCB-MSC group. Negative bacterial culture results of the CSF samples and the fact that the same hUCB-MSC administration procedure was used for both the placebo and hUCB-MSC groups ruled out the bacterial infection hypothesis. However, it was not yet clear as to whether the transplanted cells or the composition of the cell culture media generated the transient fever. Therefore, we carried out intracerebroventricular (ICV) injections of hUCB-MSCs in a 5xFAD mouse model of AD. Interestingly, we discovered that pro-inflammatory cytokine levels were higher in the hUCB-MSC group. Taken together, our data suggest that the cause of transient inflammatory response observed from both the clinical trial and mouse study was due to the transplanted hUCB-MSCs.

Abstract
Cell-based therapeutics bring great hope in areas of unmet medical needs. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been suggested to facilitate neovascularization mainly by paracrine action. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) can migrate to ischemic sites and participate in angiogenesis. The combination cell therapy that includes MSCs and EPCs has a favorable effect on ischemic limbs. However, the mechanism of combination cell therapy remains unclear. Herein, we investigate whether stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1 secreted by MSCs contributes to EPC migration to ischemic sites via CXCR4/Phosphoinositide 3-Kinases (PI3K)/protein kinase B (termed as AKT) signaling pathway. First, by a "dual-administration" approach, intramuscular MSC injections were supplemented with intravenous Qdot® 525 labeled-EPC injections in the mouse model of hind limb ischemia. Then, the mechanism of MSC effect on EPC migration was detected by the transwell system, tube-like structure formation assays, western blot assays in vitro. Results showed that the combination delivery of MSCs and EPCs enhanced the incorporation of EPCs into the vasculature and increased the capillary density in mouse ischemic hind limb. The numbers of CXCR4-positive EPCs increased after incubation with MSC-conditioned medium (CM). MSCs contributed to EPC migration and tube-like structure formation, both of which were suppressed by AMD3100 and wortmannin. Phospho-AKT induced by MSC-CM was attenuated when EPCs were pretreated with AMD3100 and wortmannin. In conclusion, we confirmed that MSCs contributes to EPC migration, which is mediated via CXCR4/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Abstract
The positive role of macrophages in the osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been a recent research focus. On the other hand, MSCs could carefully regulate the paracrine molecules derived from macrophages. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs) can reduce the secretion of inflammatory factors from macrophages to improve injury healing. hucMSC-derived extracellular matrix (hucMSC-ECM) has the similar effect to hucMSCs, which could combat the inflammatory response of macrophages. Additionally, MSC-derived extracellular matrix also enhanced bone regeneration by inhibiting osteoclastic differentiation of monocyte/macrophage lineage. However, whether hucMSC-ECM could improve bone formation by guiding macrophage-induced osteogenic differentiation of MSCs is unknown. Here, we present decalcified bone scaffolds modified by hucMSC-derived extracellular matrix (DBM-ECM), which maintained multiple soluble cytokines from hucMSCs, including macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). Compared with DBM, the DBM-ECM scaffolds induced bone formation in an improved heterotopic ossification model of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice in a macrophage-dependent manner. Macrophages cocultured with DBM-ECM expressed four osteoinductive cytokines (BMP2, FGF2, TGFβ3 and OSM), which were screened out by RNA sequencing and measured by qPCR and western blot. The conditioned medium from macrophages cocultured with DBM-ECM improved the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. Furthermore, DBM-ECM activated CD74/CD44 (the typical MIF receptors) signal transduction in macrophages, including phosphorylation of P38 and dephosphorylation of c-jun. On the other side, the inhibitory effects of the DBM-ECM scaffolds with a deficient of MIF on osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo revealed that macrophage-mediated osteogenesis depended on MIF/CD74 signal transduction. The results of this study indicate that the coordinated crosstalk of macrophages and MSCs plays a key role on bone regeneration, with an emphasis on hucMSC-ECM constructing a macrophage-derived osteoinductive microenvironment.

Abstract
In situ cell recruitment is a promising regenerative medicine strategy with the purpose of tissue regeneration without stem cell transplantation. This chemotaxis-based strategy is aimed at ensuring a restorative environment through the release of chemokines that promote site-specific migration of healing cell populations. Stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) is a critical chemokine that can regulate the migration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Accordingly, here, SDF-1α-loaded microporous oligo[poly(ethylene glycol) fumarate]/bis[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] phosphate composites (SDF-1α/OPF/BP) were engineered and probed. SDF-1α/OPF/BP composites were loaded with escalating SDF-1α concentrations, namely, 0 ng/ml, 50 ng/ml, 100 ng/ml, and 200 ng/ml, and were cocultured with MSC. Scratching assay, Transwell assay, and three-dimensional migration model were utilized to assess the migration response of MSCs. Immunofluorescence staining of Runx2 and osteopontin (OPN), ELISA assay of osteocalcin (OCN) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and Alizarin Red S staining were conducted to assess the osteogenesis of MSCs. All SDF-1α/OPF/BP composites engendered a release of SDF-1α (>80%) during the first four days. SDF-1α released from the composites significantly promoted migration and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs documented by upregulated expression of osteogenic-related proteins, ALP, Runx2, OCN, and OPN. SDF-1α at 100 ng/ml was optimal for enhanced migration and osteogenic proficiency. Thus, designed SDF-1α/OPF/BP composites were competent in promoting the homing and osteogenesis of MSCs and thus offer a promising bioactive scaffold candidate for on-demand bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Tendon is a fibro-elastic structure that links muscle and bone. Tendon injury can be divided into two types, chronic and acute. Each type of injury or degeneration can cause substantial pain and the loss of tendon function. The natural healing process of tendon injury is complex. According to the anatomical position of tendon tissue, the clinical results are different. The wound healing process includes three overlapping stages: wound healing, proliferation and tissue remodeling. Besides, the healing tendon also faces a high re-tear rate. Faced with the above difficulties, management of tendon injuries remains a clinical problem and needs to be solved urgently. In recent years, there are many new directions and advances in tendon healing. This review introduces tendon injury and sums up the development of tendon healing in recent years, including gene therapy, stem cell therapy, Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, growth factor and drug therapy and tissue engineering. Although most of these therapies have not yet developed to mature clinical application stage, with the repeated verification by researchers and continuous optimization of curative effect, that day will not be too far away.

Abstract
The delivery of chemotactic signaling molecules via customized biomaterials can effectively guide the migration of cells to improve the regeneration of damaged or diseased tissues. Here, we present a novel biohybrid hydrogel system containing two different sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAG)/sGAG derivatives, namely either a mixture of short heparin polymers (Hep-Mal) or structurally defined nona-sulfated tetrahyaluronans (9s-HA4-SH), to precisely control the release of charged signaling molecules. The polymer networks are described in terms of their negative charge, i.e. the anionic sulfate groups on the saccharides, using two parameters, the integral density of negative charge and the local charge distribution (clustering) within the network. The modulation of both parameters was shown to govern the release characteristics of the chemotactic signaling molecule SDF-1 and allows for seamless transitions between burst and sustained release conditions as well as the precise control over the total amount of delivered protein. The obtained hydrogels with well-adjusted release profiles effectively promote MSC migration in vitro and emerge as promising candidates for new treatment modalities in the context of bone repair and wound healing.

Int J Oral Sci 2021; 13:22. [PMID: 34193832 PMCID: PMC8245503 DOI: 10.1038/s41368-021-00126-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Revised: 05/26/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Tissue engineering approaches have emerged recently to circumvent many limitations associated with current clinical practices. This elegant approach utilizes a natural/synthetic biomaterial with optimized physiomechanical properties to serve as a vehicle for delivery of exogenous stem cells and bioactive factors or induce local recruitment of endogenous cells for in situ tissue regeneration. Inspired by the natural microenvironment, biomaterials could act as a biomimetic three-dimensional (3D) structure to help the cells establish their natural interactions. Such a strategy should not only employ a biocompatible biomaterial to induce new tissue formation but also benefit from an easily accessible and abundant source of stem cells with potent tissue regenerative potential. The human teeth and oral cavity harbor various populations of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with self-renewing and multilineage differentiation capabilities. In the current review article, we seek to highlight recent progress and future opportunities in dental MSC-mediated therapeutic strategies for tissue regeneration using two possible approaches, cell transplantation and cell homing. Altogether, this paper develops a general picture of current innovative strategies to employ dental-derived MSCs combined with biomaterials and bioactive factors for regenerating the lost or defective tissues and offers information regarding the available scientific data and possible applications.

Abstract
Articular cartilage (AC) has a very limited intrinsic repair capacity after injury or disease. Although exogenous cell-based regenerative approaches have obtained acceptable outcomes, they are usually associated with complicated procedures, donor-site morbidities and cell differentiation during ex vivo expansion. In recent years, endogenous regenerative strategy by recruiting resident mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSPCs) into the injured sites, as a promising alternative, has gained considerable attention. It takes full advantage of body's own regenerative potential to repair and regenerate injured tissue while avoiding exogenous regenerative approach-associated limitations. Like most tissues, there are also multiple stem-cell niches in AC and its surrounding tissues. These MSPCs have the potential to migrate into injured sites to produce replacement cells under appropriate stimuli. Traditional microfracture procedure employs the concept of MSPCs recruitment usually fails to regenerate normal hyaline cartilage. The reasons for this failure might be attributed to an inadequate number of recruiting cells and adverse local tissue microenvironment after cartilage injury. A strategy that effectively improves local matrix microenvironment and recruits resident MSPCs may enhance the success of endogenous AC regeneration (EACR). In this review, we focused on the reasons why AC cannot regenerate itself in spite of potential self-repair capacity and summarized the latest developments of the three key components in the field of EACR. In addition, we discussed the challenges facing in the present EACR strategy. This review will provide an increasing understanding of EACR and attract more researchers to participate in this promising research arena.

Abstract
Articular cartilage (AC) lesions are fairly common but remain an obstacle for clinicians and researchers due to their poor self-healing capacity. Recently, a promising therapy based on the recruitment of autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been developed for the regeneration of full-thickness cartilage defects in the knee joint. In this study, a 3D-bioprinted difunctional scaffold was developed based on aptamer HM69-mediated MSC-specific recruitment and growth factor-enhanced cell chondrogenesis. The aptamer, which can specifically recognize and recruit MSCs, was first chemically conjugated to the decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix and then mixed with gelatin methacrylate to form a photocrosslinkable bioink ready for 3D bioprinting. Together with the growth factor that promoted cell chondrogenic differentiation, the biodegradable polymer poly(ε-caprolactone) was further chosen to impart mechanical strength to the 3D bioprinted constructs. The difunctional scaffold specifically recruited MSCs, provided a favorable microenvironment for cell adhesion and proliferation, promoted chondrogenesis, and thus greatly improved cartilage repair in rabbit full-thickness defects. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that 3D bioprinting of difunctional scaffolds could be a promising strategy for in situ AC regeneration based on aptamer-directed cell recruitment and growth-factor-enhanced cell chondrogenesis.

Abstract
The properties of cancer stem cells (CSCs) have recently gained attention as an avenue of intervention for cancer therapy. In this review, we highlight some of the key roles of CSCs in altering the cellular microenvironment in favor of cancer progression. We also report on various studies in this field which focus on transformative properties of CSCs and their influence on surrounding cells or targets through the release of cellular cargo in the form of extracellular vesicles. The findings from these studies encourage the development of novel interventional therapies that can target and prevent cancer through efficient, more effective methods. These methods include targeting immunosuppressive proteins and biomarkers, promoting immunization against tumors, exosome-mediated CSC conversion, and a focus on the quiescent properties of CSCs and their role in cancer progression. The resulting therapeutic benefit and transformative potential of these novel approaches to stem cell-based cancer therapy provide a new direction in cancer treatment, which can focus on nanoscale, molecular properties of the cellular microenvironment and establish a more precision medicine-oriented paradigm of treatment.

Abstract
Tissue engineering provides a promising avenue for treating cartilage defects. However, great challenges remain in the development of structurally and functionally optimized scaffolds for cartilage repair and regeneration. In this study, decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) and waterborne polyurethane (WPU) were employed to construct WPU and WPU-ECM scaffolds by water-based 3D printing using low-temperature deposition manufacturing (LDM) system, which combines rapid deposition manufacturing with phase separation techniques. The scaffolds successfully achieved hierarchical macro‐microporous structures. After adding ECM, WPU scaffolds were markedly optimized in terms of porosity, hydrophilia and bioactive components. Moreover, the optimized WPU-ECM scaffolds were found to be more suitable for cell distribution, adhesion, and proliferation than the WPU scaffolds. Most importantly, the WPU-ECM scaffold could facilitate the production of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and collagen and the upregulation of cartilage-specific genes. These results indicated that the WPU-ECM scaffold with hierarchical macro‐microporous structures could recreate a favorable microenvironment for cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and ECM production. In vivo studies further revealed that the hierarchical macro‐microporous WPU-ECM scaffold combined with the microfracture procedure successfully regenerated hyaline cartilage in a rabbit model. Six months after implantation, the repaired cartilage showed a similar histological structure and mechanical performance to that of normal cartilage. In conclusion, the hierarchical macro‐microporous WPU-ECM scaffold may be a promising candidate for cartilage tissue engineering applications in the future. Hierarchical macro‐microporous scaffolds could be fabricated by low-temperature deposition manufacturing. Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) scaffolds were optimized by adding decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM). The WPU-ECM scaffold provided a suitable microenvironment for cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation in vitro. The paradigm of WPU-ECM scaffold and microfracture (MF) has great potential for clinical application in cartilage repair.

Abstract
Purpose Autologous bone grafts are the gold standard for treating bone defects. However, limited bone supply and morbidity at the donor site restrict its extensive use. Therefore, developing bone graft materials as an alternative to autologous grafts has gained considerable attention. Injectable hydrogels endowed with osteogenic potential have the ability to fill irregular bone defects using minimally invasive procedures and have thus been attracting researchers’ attention. However, from a clinical perspective, most fabrication methods employed for the current injectable osteogenic hydrogels are difficult and inconvenient. In the current study, we fabricated an injectable osteogenic hydrogel using a simple and convenient strategy. Materials and Methods Gelatin-methacryloyl (GelMA) pre-polymer was synthetized. Nano silicate (SN) and stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1α) were introduced into the pre-polymer to achieve injectability, controlled release property, excellent osteogenic ability, and efficient stem cell homing. Results The GelMA-SN-SDF-1α demonstrated excellent injectability via a 17-G needle at room temperature. The loaded SDF-1α exhibited a long-term controlled release pattern and efficiently stimulated MSC migration and homing. The GelMA-SN-SDF-1α hydrogel amplified cell spreading, migration, osteogenic-related biomarker expression, and matrix mineralization. The GelMA-SN-SDF-1α hydrogel filled critical-sized calvaria defects in rats and demonstrated excellent bone regeneration ability, as assessed using micro-CT scanning and histomorphometric staining. Conclusion The GelMA-SN-SDF-1α hydrogel provides a simple and convenient strategy for the fabrication of injectable osteogenic graft materials. ![]()

Barrier membranes for guided bone regeneration (GBR) are used to exclude nonosteogenic tissues from influencing the bone healing process. In addition to the existing barrier membranes available on the market, a growing variety of membranes for GBR with tailorable physicochemical properties are under preclinical evaluation. Hence, the aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive description of materials used for GBR and to report the main industrial and regulatory aspects allowing the commercialization of these medical devices (MDs). In particular, a summary of the main attributes defining a GBR membrane is reported along with a description of commercially available and under development membranes. Finally, strategies for the scaling-up of the manufacturing process and the regulatory framework of the main MD producers (USA, EU, Japan, China, and India) are presented. The description of the regulatory approval process of GBR membranes is representative of the typical path that medium- to high-risk MDs have to follow for an effective medical translation, which is of fundamental importance to increase the impact of biomedical research on public health.

Endogenous cell recruitment strategy for articular cartilage regeneration. Acta Biomater 2020; 114:31-52. [PMID: 32652223 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.07.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
In the absence of timely and proper treatments, injuries to articular cartilage (AC) can lead to cartilage degeneration and ultimately result in osteoarthritis. Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering techniques are emerging as promising approaches for AC regeneration and repair. Although the use of cell-seeded scaffolds prior to implantation can regenerate and repair cartilage lesions to some extent, these approaches are still restricted by limited cell sources, excessive costs, risks of disease transmission and complex manufacturing practices. Recently developed acellular scaffold approaches that rely on the recruitment of endogenous cells to the injured sites avoid these drawbacks and offer great promise for in situ AC regeneration. Multiple endogenous stem/progenitor cells (ESPCs) are found in joint-resident niches and have the capability to migrate to sites of injury to participate in AC regeneration. However, the natural recruitment of ESPCs is insufficient, and the local microenvironment is hostile after injury. Hence, an endogenous cell recruitment strategy based on the combination of chemoattractants and acellular scaffolds to effectively and specifically recruit ESPCs and improve local microenvironment may provide new insights into in situ AC regeneration. This review provides a brief overview of: (1) the status of endogenous cell recruitment strategy; (2) the subpopulations, potential migration routes (PMRs) of joint-resident ESPCs and their immunomodulatory and reparative effects; (3) chemoattractants and their potential adverse effects; (4) scaffold-based drug delivery systems (SDDSs) that are utilized for in situ AC regeneration; and (5) the challenges and future perspectives of endogenous cell recruitment strategy for AC regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Although the endogenous cell recruitment strategy for articular cartilage (AC) regeneration has been investigated for several decades, much work remains to be performed in this field. Future studies should have the following aims: (1) reporting the up-to-date progress in the endogenous cell recruitment strategies; (2) determining the subpopulations of ESPCs, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the migration of these cells and their anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and reparative effects; (3) elucidating the chemoattractants that enhance ESPC recruitment and their potential adverse effects; and (4) developing advanced SDDSs for chemoattractant dispatch. Herein, we present a systematic overview of the aforementioned issues to provide a better understanding of endogenous cell recruitment strategies for AC regeneration and repair.

Abstract
We studied the expression of transcription factors RUNX2 and Osterix after addition of a concentrate of osteogenic-conditioned medium to the culture medium for osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). The obtained concentrate of osteogenic-conditioned medium containing a complex of bioactive substances with a molecular weight >10 kDa provided MSC differentiation into osteoblasts, which was confirmed by high level of expression of transcription factors RUNX2 and Osterix in comparison with the negative control. The highest expression of transcription factor Osterix was revealed on day 14 of MSC culturing in the presence of osteogenic supplement StemPro (positive control) and the studied concentrate of osteogenic-conditioned medium.

FASEB J 2020; 34:11115-11132.

Abstract
Articular cartilage regeneration remains a major challenge in orthopedics. Noncanonical Wnt5a is a particularly attractive growth factor in this context; Wnt5a inhibits chondrocyte hypertrophy but maintains chondrogenesis. We designed a novel, vertically oriented-collagen scaffold. The effect of Wnt5a on MSCs and chondrocytes and the therapeutic effects of the Wnt5a/oriented-collagen scaffold in terms of osteochondral repair and cartilage integration were evaluated. In vitro, the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of MSCs and chondrocytes treated with Wnt5a, and the mechanisms thereof, were assessed. mRNA microarray analysis was performed to compare the expression profiles of MSCs before and after Wnt5a treatment. In vivo, full-thickness cylindrical osteochondral defects (4 mm in diameter, 3 mm in depth) were created in the patellar grooves of 24 New Zealand white rabbits and implanted with oriented-collagen scaffolds (n = 8), Wnt5a/oriented-collagen scaffolds (n = 8), or nothing (n = 8). After 6 and 12 weeks, integration and tissue responses were evaluated. The proliferation, migration, chondrogenic differentiation, and extracellular matrix formation of/by MSCs and chondrocytes improved greatly after treatment with Wnt5a. Western blotting showed that the PI3K/AKT/JNK signaling pathway was activated. Microarray analysis revealed that the Wnt5a group exhibited a significant upregulation of the PI3K pathway. Reactome GSEA pathway interaction analysis revealed that such upregulation was associated with collagen and extracellular matrix formation. In vivo, the Wnt5a/oriented-collagen scaffold group exhibited optimal interface integration, cartilage regeneration, and collagenous fiber arrangement, accompanied by significantly increased glycosaminoglycan and collagen accumulations in the zones of regeneration and integration, compared to the other groups. Gene expression analysis showed that the levels of mRNAs encoding genes involved in cartilage formation were significantly increased in the Wnt5a/oriented, collagen scaffold group (all P < .05). Wnt5a promoted the proliferation, migration, and chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs and chondrocytes via the activation of the PI3K/AKT/JNK signaling pathway. The Wnt5a/oriented-collagen constructs enhanced the structure-specific regeneration of hyaline cartilage in a rabbit model and may be a promising treatment for the repair of human cartilage defects.

Bioact Mater 2020; 5:832-843.

Abstract
Endogenous repair of osteochondral defect is usually limited by the insufficient number of cells in the early stage and incomplete cell differentiation in the later stage. The development of drug delivery systems for sequential release of pro-migratory and pro-chondrogenic molecules to induce endogenous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) recruitment and chondrogenic differentiation is highly desirable for in situ osteochondral regeneration. In this study, a novel, all-silk-derived sequential delivery system was fabricated by incorporating the tunable drug-loaded silk fibroin (SF) nanospheres into a SF porous matrix. The loading efficiency and release kinetics of biomolecules depended on the initial SF/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) concentrations (0.2%, 1% and 5%) of the nanospheres, as well as the hydrophobicity of the loaded molecules, resulting in controllable and programmed delivery profiles. Our findings indicated that the 5% nanosphere-incorporated matrix showed a rapid release of E7 peptide during the first 120 h, whereas the 0.2% nanosphere-incorporated matrix provided a slow and sustained release of Kartogenin (KGN) longer than 30 days. During in vitro culture of BMSCs, this functional SF matrix incorporated with E7/KGN nanospheres showed good biocompatibility, as well as enhanced BMSCs migration and chondrogenic differentiation through the release of E7 and KGN. Furthermore, when implanted into rabbit osteochondral defect, the SF nanosphere matrix with sequential E7/KGN release promoted the regeneration of both cartilage and subchondral bone. This work not only provided a novel all-silk-derived drug delivery system for sequential release of molecules, but also a functional tissue-engineered scaffold for osteochondral regeneration. An all-silk-derived sequential biomolecule delivery system is developed. The release profiles of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules from the SF nanosphere matrix can be easily tuned. This SF nanosphere matrix induces BMSCs recruitment and chondrogenic differentiation by programmed release of E7 and KGN. The SF nanosphere matrix with sequential E7/KGN release improves the regeneration of cartilage and subchondral bone in vivo..

Controlled release of biological factors for endogenous progenitor cell migration and intervertebral disc extracellular matrix remodelling. Biomaterials 2020; 253:120107.

Abstract
The recent description of resident stem/progenitor cells in degenerated intervertebral discs (IVDs) supports the notion that their regenerative capacities could be harnessed to stimulate endogenous repair of the nucleus pulposus (NP). In this study, we developed a delivery system based on pullulan microbeads (PMBs) for sequential release of the chemokine CCL-5 to recruit these disc stem/progenitor cells to the NP tissue, followed by the release of the growth factors TGF-β1 and GDF-5 to induce the synthesis of a collagen type II- and aggrecan-rich extracellular matrix (ECM). Bioactivity of released CCL5 on human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs), selected to mimic disc stem/progenitors, was demonstrated using a Transwell® chemotaxis assay. The regenerative effects of loaded PMBs were investigated in ex vivo spontaneously degenerated ovine IVDs. Fluorescent hASCs were seeded on the top cartilaginous endplates (CEPs); the degenerated NPs were injected with PMBs loaded with CCL5, TGF-β1, and GDF-5; and the IVDs were then cultured for 3, 7, and 28 days to allow for cell migration and disc regeneration. The PMBs exhibited sustained release of biological factors for 21 days. Ex vivo migration of seeded hASCs from the CEP toward the NP was demonstrated, with the cells migrating a significantly greater distance when loaded PMBs were injected (5.8 ± 1.3 mm vs. 3.5 ± 1.8 mm with no injection of PMBs). In ovine IVDs, the overall NP cellularity, the collagen type II and the aggrecan staining intensities, and the Tie2+ progenitor cell density in the NP were increased at day 28 compared to the control groups. Considered together, PMBs loaded with CCL5/TGF-β1/GDF-5 constitute an innovative and promising strategy for controlled release of growth factors to promote cell recruitment and extracellular matrix remodelling.

Abstract
Irregular defects at sites of degenerative cartilage often accompany osteoarthritis (OA). The development of novel cell-/biomaterial-based cartilage tissue engineering methods to address these defects may provide a durable approach to hinder the development of OA. In this study, we fabricated a neocartilage patch by fusing cell aggregates onto a biodegradable nanofiber film for degenerative cartilage repair. Human mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) aggregates were prepared and induced for chondrogenesis in a thermosensitive hydrogel, poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid (p(NIPAAm-AA)). Cell migration mediated the formation of cell aggregates in the thermosensitive hydrogel and led to a cell-dense hollow shell structure. The chondrocytes derived from MSC aggregates in the hydrogel were evidenced by the expression of chondrogenesis-related genes and extracellular matrices. They were fused onto an electrospun film by mechanical force and spatial confinement to generate a neo-cartilage patch. The fabricated neocartilage patches may be able to integrate into the irregular defects under compressive stresses and achieve cartilage regeneration in vivo. Impact statement The formation of human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells aggregates in thermosensitive hydrogels was mechanistically examined. These in situ formed cell aggregates with enhanced chondrogenesis were bioengineered into a neocartilage patch for regeneration of superficial irregular cartilage defects.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have found that bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were capable of self-replication, multi-differentiation, and regeneration. The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic review and meta-analysis of the efficacy of BMSC therapy for ovariectomized rats. Methods The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, and Chinese Sinomed databases were searched systematically from their initiation date to October 5, 2018. Two researchers independently screened the literatures, which used the bone mineral density (BMD), total bone volume by total tissue volume (BV/TV) (%), and trabecular thickness/spacing (Tb/Sp) as the outcome measures. Results Five eligible studies were selected. In the BMSC treatment groups, the BMD values and normalized BV/TV values remarkably increased. In addition, in the BMSCs plus other treatment groups, the BMD and Tb/Sp values significantly increased. Conclusion This study showed that BMSCs could accelerate callus maturity, ossification and restore mechanical properties of bones in osteoporotic fractures.

Effects of Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1 α Secreted in Degenerative Intervertebral Disc on Activation and Recruitment of Nucleus Pulposus-Derived Stem Cells. Stem Cells Int 2019; 2019:9147835.

Abstract
Stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) plays a significant role in mobilizing and recruiting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to the sites of injury. This study investigated the potential of SDF-1α released in the degenerative intervertebral disc (IVD) to activate and recruit endogenous nucleus pulposus-derived stem cells (NPSCs) for regeneration in situ. We found SDF-1α was highly expressed and secreted by the native disc cells when cultured in the proinflammatory mediators in vitro mimicking the degenerative settings. Immunohistochemical staining also showed that the expression level of SDF-1α was significantly higher in the degenerative group compared to that in the normal group. In addition to enhancement of viability, SDF-1α significantly increased the number of NPSCs migrating into the center of the nucleotomized bovine IVD ex vivo. After the systemic delivery of exogenous PKH26-labelled NPSCs into the rats in vivo, there was a significant difference in the distribution of the migrated cells between the normal and the degenerative IVDs, which might be caused by the different expression levels of SDF-1α. However, blocking CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) with AMD3100 effectively abrogated SDF-1α-stimulated proliferation and migration. Taken together, SDF-1α may be a key chemoattractant that is highly produced in response to the degenerative changes, which can be used to enhance the proliferation and recruitment of endogenous stem cells into the IVDs. These findings may be of importance for understanding IVD regenerative mechanisms and development of regenerative strategies in situ for IVD degeneration.

Abstract
In this work, we prepared an electrospun small intestinal submucosa/poly(ε-caprolactone)-ran-poly(l-lactide) (SIS/PCLA) sheet onto which substance P (SP) was loaded, and this was employed as a cell-free scaffold for wound healing through the mobilization of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). SP release from the SP-loaded scaffold was 42% at 12 h and 51% at 24 h due to an initial burst of SP, but after 1 day, it exhibited a linear release profile and was released at a sustained rate for 21 days. The SP-loaded SIS/PCLA sheet exhibited higher in vitro and in vivo hMSC migration than did the PCLA and SIS/PCLA sheets. Large hMSCs injected into the tail vein of mice models migrated towards the wound to a greater extent in the presence of the SP-loaded SIS/PCLA sheet than with the PCLA and SIS/PCLA sheets, as confirmed by the CD44 and CD29 markers of recruited hMSCs. In animal wound models, significantly higher wound contraction (∼97%) in the group treated with the SP-loaded SIS/PCLA sheet was observed compared with the PCLA (∼74%) and SIS/PCLA (∼84%) groups at 3 weeks. In addition, SP-loaded SIS/PCLA-treated animals showed significant epidermal regeneration and collagen density (56%) in the mature granulation tissue at 3 weeks compared to the PCLA and SIS/PCLA groups. The wound area after SP-loaded SIS/PCLA sheet treatment also showed high blood vessel formation at the early stage, resulting in enhanced wound healing. Furthermore, the SP-loaded SIS/PCLA group exhibited a lower macrophage count (2.9%) than did the PCLA (7.7%) and SIS/PCLA (3.4%) groups. It was thus confirmed that the use of SP-loaded SIS/PCLA sheet as a cell-free scaffold could effectively enhance wound healing through MSC recruitment.

Improved Isolation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Based on Interactions between N-Acetylglucosamine-Bearing Polymers and Cell-Surface Vimentin. Stem Cells Int 2019; 2019:4341286. [PMID: 31814834 PMCID: PMC6878802 DOI: 10.1155/2019/4341286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2019] [Revised: 09/13/2019] [Accepted: 09/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in bone marrow and adipose tissues are expected to be effective tools for regenerative medicine to treat various diseases. To obtain MSCs that possess both high differentiation and tissue regenerative potential, it is necessary to establish an isolation system that does not require long-term culture. It has previously been reported that the cytoskeletal protein vimentin, expressed on the surfaces of multiple cell types, possesses N-acetylglucosamine- (GlcNAc-) binding activity. Therefore, we tried to exploit this interaction to efficiently isolate MSCs from rat bone marrow cells using GlcNAc-bearing polymer-coated dishes. Cells isolated by this method were identified as MSCs because they were CD34-, CD45-, and CD11b/c-negative and CD90-, CD29-, CD44-, CD54-, CD73-, and CD105-positive. Osteoblast, adipocyte, and chondrocyte differentiation was observed in these cells. In total, yields of rat MSCs were threefold to fourfold higher using GlcNAc-bearing polymer-coated dishes than yields using conventional tissue-culture dishes. Interestingly, MSCs isolated with GlcNAc-bearing polymer-coated dishes strongly expressed CD106, whereas those isolated with conventional tissue-culture dishes had low CD106 expression. Moreover, senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity in MSCs from GlcNAc-bearing polymer-coated dishes was lower than that in MSCs from tissue-culture dishes. These results establish an improved isolation method for high-quality MSCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trauma- or osteoarthritis-related cartilage damage resulted in functional decline of joints and heavy burden of public health. Recently, the reparative role of mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSCs) in articular cartilage (AC) reconstruction is drawing more and more attention. OBJECTIVE To provide a review on (1) the locations and categories of joint-resident MSCs, (2) the regulation of chondrogenic capacities of MSCs, (3) the migratory approaches of MSCs to diseased AC and regulatory mechanisms. METHODS PubMed and Web of Science were searched for English-language articles related to MSC recruitment and migration for AC repair until June 2019. The presence of various MSCs in or around joints, the potential approaches to diseased AC` and the regenerative capacities of MSCs were reviewed. RESULTS Various intra- and peri-articular MSCs, with inherent migratory potentials, are present in multiple stem cell niches in or around joints. The recruitment and migration of joint-resident MSCs play crucial roles in endogenous AC repair. Multiple recruiting signals, such as chemokines, growth factors, etc., emerge during the development of AC diseases and participate in the regulation of MSC mobilization. Motivated MSCs could migrate into cartilage lesions and then exert multiple reparative potentials, including extracellular matrix (ECM) reconstruction and microenvironment modulation. CONCLUSION In general, AC repair based on endogenous MSC recruitment and migration is a feasible strategy, and a promising research field. Furthermore, endogenous AC repair mediated by native MSCs would provide new opportunities to efficient preventative or therapeutic options for AC diseases.
