Abstract
Chronic wounds impose a significant healthcare burden to a broad patient population. Cell-based therapies, while having shown benefits for the treatment of chronic wounds, have not yet achieved widespread adoption into clinical practice. We developed a CRISPR/Cas9 approach to precisely edit murine dendritic cells to enhance their therapeutic potential for healing chronic wounds. Using single-cell RNA sequencing of tolerogenic dendritic cells, we identified N-myc downregulated gene 2 (Ndrg2), which marks a specific population of dendritic cell progenitors, as a promising target for CRISPR knockout. Ndrg2-knockout alters the transcriptomic profile of dendritic cells and preserves an immature cell state with a strong pro-angiogenic and regenerative capacity. We then incorporated our CRISPR-based cell engineering within a therapeutic hydrogel for in vivo cell delivery and developed an effective translational approach for dendritic cell-based immunotherapy that accelerated healing of full-thickness wounds in both non-diabetic and diabetic mouse models. These findings could open the door to future clinical trials using safe gene editing in dendritic cells for treating various types of chronic wounds.

Obesity and Wound Healing: Focus on Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:life13030717.

Abstract
Chronic wounds represent nowadays a major challenge for both clinicians and researchers in the regenerative setting. Obesity represents one of the major comorbidities in patients affected by chronic ulcers and therefore diverse studies aimed at assessing possible links between these two morbid conditions are currently ongoing. In particular, adipose tissue has recently been described as having metabolic and endocrine functions rather than serving as a mere fat storage deposit. In this setting, adipose-derived stem cells, a peculiar subset of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) located in adipose tissue, have been demonstrated to possess regenerative and immunological functions with a key role in regulating both adipocyte function and skin regeneration. The aim of the present review is to give an overview of the most recent findings on wound healing, with a special focus on adipose tissue biology and obesity.

Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to explore the role of EGFL7 in the healing process of refractory diabetic wounds. Methods: Epidermal stem cells (ESCs) were isolated from healthy mice and diabetic mice, identified by immunofluorescence, transfected with EGFL7 overexpression and silencing lentiviral vectors, and treated with Notch pathway inhibitor (DAPT). Results: SiEGFL7 significantly inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of ESCs of healthy mice. DAPT prominently inhibited the expressions of Notch1, Notch2, Hes1 and Jag1 in ESCs of healthy mice induced by overexpressed EGFL7. Overexpressed EGFL7 promoted wound healing in diabetic mice with refractory wounds. Conclusion: EGFL7 affects the proliferation and migration of ESCs in refractory diabetic wounds by regulating the Notch signaling pathway.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Understanding the molecular and cellular processes involved in skin wound healing may pave the way for the development of innovative approaches to transforming the identified natural effectors into therapeutic tools. Based on the extensive involvement of the ga(lactoside-binding)lectin family in (patho)physiological processes, it has been well established that galectins are involved in a wide range of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. AREAS COVERED In the present paper, we provide an overview of the biological role of galectins in repair and regeneration, focusing on four main phases (hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation/remodeling) of skin repair using basic wound models (open excision vs. sutured incision). EXPERT OPINION The reported data make a strong case for directing further efforts to treat excisional and incisional wounds differently. Functions of galectins essentially result from their modular presentation. In fact, Gal-1 seems to play a role in the early phases of healing (anti-inflammatory) and wound contraction, Gal-3 accelerates re-epithelization and increases tensile strength (scar inductor). Galectins have also become subject of redesigning by engineering to optimize the activity. Clinically relevant, these new tools derived from the carbohydrate recognition domain platform may also prove helpful for other purposes, such as potent antibacterial agglutinins and opsonins.

Abstract
Chronic wounds are non-healing wounds characterized by a prolonged inflammation phase. Excessive inflammation leads to elevated protease levels and consequently to a decrease in growth factors at wound sites. Stem cell secretome therapy has been identified as a treatment strategy to modulate the microenvironment of chronic wounds via supplementation with anti-inflammatory/growth factors. However, there is a need to develop better secretome delivery systems that are able to encapsulate the secretome without denaturation, in a sustained manner, and that are fully biocompatible. To address this gap, a recombinant squid suckerin-spider silk fusion protein is developed with cell-adhesion motifs capable of thermal gelation at physiological temperatures to form hydrogels for encapsulation and subsequent release of the stem cell secretome. Freeze-thaw treatment of the protein hydrogel results in a modified porous cryogel that maintains slow degradation and sustained secretome release. Chronic wounds of diabetic mice treated with the secretome-laden cryogel display increased wound closure, presence of endothelial cells, granulation wound tissue thickness, and reduced inflammation with no fibrotic scar formation. Overall, these in vivo indicators of wound healing demonstrate that the fusion protein hydrogel displays remarkable potential as a delivery system for secretome-assisted chronic wound healing.

Abstract
In pre-clinical studies, human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) have shown great promise as a treatment modality for healing of cutaneous wounds. The advantages of hASCs are that they are relatively easy to obtain in large numbers from basic liposuctions, they maintain their characteristics after long-term in vitro culture, and they possess low immunogenicity, which enables the use of hASCs from random donors. It has been hypothesized that hASCs exert their wound healing properties by reducing inflammation, inducing angiogenesis, and promoting fibroblast and keratinocyte growth. Due to the inherent variability associated with the donor-dependent nature of ASC-based products, it appears necessary that the quality of the different products is prospectively certified using a set of most relevant potency assays. In this review, we present an overview of the available methodologies to assess the Mode and the Mechanism of Action of hASCs, specifically in the wound healing scenario. In conclusion, we propose a panel of potential potency assays to include in the future production of ASC-based medicinal products.

Abstract
With the insufficient satisfaction rates and high cost of operative treatment for osteoarthritis (OA), alternatives have been sought. Furthermore, the inability of current medications to arrest disease progression has led to rapidly growing clinical research relating to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The availability and function of MSCs vary according to tissue source. The three primary sources include the placenta, bone marrow, and adipose tissue, all of which offer excellent safety profiles. The primary mechanisms of action are trophic and immunomodulatory effects, which prevent the further degradation of joints. However, the function and degree to which benefits are observed vary significantly based on the exosomes secreted by MSCs. Paracrine and autocrine mechanisms prevent cell apoptosis and tissue fibrosis, initiate angiogenesis, and stimulate mitosis via growth factors. MSCs have even been shown to exhibit antimicrobial effects. Clinical results incorporating clinical scores and objective radiological imaging have been promising, but a lack of standardization in isolating MSCs prevents their incorporation in current guidelines.

Abstract
Galectins are a family of proteins with at least one carbohydrate-recognition domain. Galectins are present in various tissues and organs and participate in different physiological and pathological molecular reactions in vivo. Wound healing is the basic process of traumatic disease recovery. Wound healing involves three overlapping stages: inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling. Furthermore, a comparison of wound healing with the tumour microenvironment revealed that galectin plays a key role in the wound healing process. The current review describes the role of galectin in inflammation, angiogenesis, re-epithelialisation, and fibrous scar formation and evaluates its potential as a therapeutic drug for wounds.

Abstract
Adipose derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADSCs) represent a fascinating tool in the scenario of wound healing and regenerative medicine. Recent data already demonstrated that ADSCs could exert a stimulatory action on epithelial cells through secretion of soluble factors. The aim of the present study was to assess how ADSCs guide wound re‐epithelization in vitro in the presence of keratinocytes. We used an organotypic model of wound healing and we seeded keratinocytes on a ADSC‐induced dermal matrix. Conventional hematoxylin–eosin stain and immunohistochemistry staining for Ki67, p63 and pan‐keratins were performed at different timepoints. Histological sections of organotypic cultures showed complete coverage of the ADSC‐induced matrix by keratinocytes. Proliferation of basal stem cells was found to be the main mechanism responsible for epithelization of the dermis. In conclusion, ADSC do not only stimulate dermal regeneration through collagen deposition but also promote epithelization.

Abstract
Chronic skin wounds are commonly found in older individuals who have impaired circulation due to diabetes or are immobilized due to physical disability. Chronic wounds pose a severe burden to the health-care system and are likely to become increasingly prevalent in aging populations. Various treatment approaches exist to help the healing process, although the healed tissue does not generally recapitulate intact skin but rather forms a scar that has inferior mechanical properties and that lacks appendages such as hair or sweat glands. This article describes new experimental avenues for attempting to improve the regenerative response of skin using biophysical techniques as well as biochemical methods, in some cases by trying to harness the potential of stem cells, either endogenous to the host or provided exogenously, to regenerate the skin. These approaches primarily address the local wound environment and should likely be combined with other modalities to address regional and systemic disease, as well as social determinants of health. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, Volume 24 is June 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

Corrêa MP, Correia-Silva RD, Sasso GRS, D'Ávila SCGP, Greco KV, Oliani SM, Gil CD. Expression Pattern and Immunoregulatory Roles of Galectin-1 and Galectin-3 in Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis. Inflammation 2022; 45:1133-1145. [PMID: 35031944 DOI: 10.1007/s10753-021-01608-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Revised: 12/04/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
The pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis (Ps) overlaps, particularly the activation of the immune response and tissue damage. Here, we evaluated galectin (Gal)-1 and Gal-3 levels, which are beta-galactoside-binding proteins with immunomodulatory functions and examined their effects on human keratinocytes stimulated with either interleukin (IL)-4 or IL-17A. Skin biopsies from AD, Ps, and control patients were evaluated using histological and immunohistochemical analyses. Six studies containing publicly available transcriptome data were individually analyzed using the GEO2R tool to detect Gal-1 and Gal-3 mRNA levels. In vitro, IL-4- or IL-17A-stimulated keratinocytes were treated with or without Gal-1 or Gal-3 to evaluate cytokine release and migration. Our findings showed different patterns of expression for Gal-1 and Gal-3 in AD and Ps skins. Densitometric analysis in skin samples showed a marked increase in the protein Gal-1 levels in Ps epidermis and in both AD and Ps dermis compared to controls. Protein and mRNA Gal-3 levels were downregulated in AD and Ps lesional skin compared with the control samples. In vitro, both galectins addition abrogated the release of IL-8 and RANTES in IL-17-stimulated keratinocytes after 24 h, whereas IL-6 release was downregulated by Gal-3 and Gal-1 in IL-4- and IL-17-stimulated cells, respectively. Administration of both galectins also increased the rate of keratinocyte migration under IL-4 or IL-17 stimulation conditions compared with untreated cells. Altogether, the immunoregulatory and migration effects of Gal-1 and Gal-3 on keratinocytes under inflammatory microenvironment make them interesting targets for future therapies in cutaneous diseases.

Abstract
Wound represents a significant socioeconomic burden for both affected individuals
and as a whole healthcare system. Accordingly, stem cells have garnered
attention due to their differentiation capacity and ability to aid tissue
regeneration by releasing biologically active molecules, found in the cells’
cultivated medium which known as conditioned medium (CM) or secretomes. This
acellular approach provides a huge advantage over conventional treatment
options, which are mainly used cellular treatment at wound closure.
Interestingly, the secretomes contained the cell-secreted proteins such as
growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, extracellular matrix (ECM), and small
molecules including metabolites, microvesicles, and exosomes. This review aims
to provide a general view on secretomes and how it is proven to have great
potential in accelerating wound healing. Utilizing the use of secretomes with
its secreted proteins and suitable biomaterials for fabrications of acellular
skin substitutes can be promising in treating skin loss and accelerate the
healing process.

Salamonsen LA. Menstrual Fluid Factors Mediate Endometrial Repair. FRONTIERS IN REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH 2021; 3:779979.

Abstract
Menstruation is a process whereby the outer functionalis layer of the endometrium is shed each month in response to falling progesterone and estrogen levels in a non-conception cycle. Simultaneously with the tissue breakdown, the surface is re-epithelialized, protecting the wound from infection. Once menstruation is complete and estrogen levels start to rise, regeneration progresses throughout the proliferative phase of the cycle, to fully restore endometrial thickness. Endometrial repair is unique compared to tissue repair elsewhere in the adult, in that it is rapid, scar-free and occurs around 400 times during each modern woman's reproductive life. The shedding tissue and that undergoing repair is bathed in menstrual fluid, which contains live cells, cellular debris, fragments of extracellular matrix, activated leukocytes and their products, soluble cellular components and extracellular vesicles. Proteomic and other analyses have revealed some detail of these components. Menstrual fluid, along with a number of individual proteins enhances epithelial cell migration to cover the wound. This is shown in endometrial epithelial and keratinocyte cell culture models, in an ex vivo decellularized skin model and in pig wounds in vivo. Thus, the microenvironment provided by menstrual fluid, is likely responsible for the unique rapid and scar-free repair of this remarkable tissue. Insight gained from analysis of this fluid is likely to be of value not only for treating endometrial bleeding problems but also in providing potential new therapies for poorly repairing wounds such as those seen in the aged and in diabetics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soluble proteins and extracellular vesicles (EVs) are crucial wound repair mediators in cell-based therapy. Previous studies reported that EVs of perivascular cells stimulated migration and proliferation of cell types involved in the dermatological wound healing process. However, these studies only show effects of EVs from perivascular cells (PVCs) for in vitro models. METHODS EVs were collected from 3D-cultured PVC (PVC-3D-EV) and compared with EVs from 2D-culture PVC (PVC-2D-EV) to investigate effects on wound contraction, angiogenesis, activation of myofibroblast, and collagen deposition. RESULTS PVC-3D-EV was significantly improved in terms of wound contraction compared with PVC-2D-EV and the control. Activation of myofibroblast and collagen deposition in a rat skin wound model was significantly stimulated by PVC-3D-EV. In addition, angiogenesis and vascular endothelial growth factor expression were also highly stimulated by PVC-3D-EV. These results suggest that PVC-3D-EV was regulated in granulation tissue formation, angiogenesis, and wound contraction in healing of a rat skin wound. These results indicate a pivotal role of PVC-3D-EV in wound healing through multiple mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS 3D-culture using a polystyrene scaffold is demonstrated to be a better system for providing better physiological conditions than the 2D-culture system, and EVs from 3D-cultured PVC could be a promising option for healing skin wound.

Abstract
Chronic wounds develop when the orderly process of cutaneous wound healing is delayed or disrupted. Development of a chronic wound is associated with significant morbidity and financial burden to the individual and health-care system. Therefore, new therapeutic modalities are needed to address this serious condition. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promote skin repair, but their clinical use has been limited due to technical challenges. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are particles released by cells that carry bioactive molecules (lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) and regulate intercellular communication. EVs (exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies) mediate key therapeutic effects of MSCs. In this review we examine the experimental data establishing a role for EVs in wound healing. Then, we explore techniques for designing EVs to function as a targeted drug delivery system and how EVs can be incorporated into biomaterials to produce a personalized wound dressing. Finally, we discuss the status of clinically deploying EVs as a therapeutic agent in wound care.

Abstract
Scar is a common way of healing after tissue injury. The poor scar healing will not only cause dysfunction of tissues and organs but also affect the appearance of the patients’ body surface, which causes the pressure of life and spirit to the patients. However, the formation of scar tissue is an extremely complex process and its mechanism is not fully understood. At present, there is no treatment method to eliminate scars completely. Fibroblasts are the most abundant cells in the dermis, which have the ability to synthesize and remodel extracellular matrix (ECM). Myofibroblasts actively participate in the wound healing process and influence the outcome. Therefore, both of them play important roles in wound healing and scar formation. Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are pluripotent stem cells that can act on target cells by paracrine. Adipose tissue stem cell-derived exosomes (ADSC-Exos) are important secretory substances of ADSCs. They are nanomembrane vesicles that can transport a variety of cellular components and fuse with target cells. In this review, we will discuss the effects of ADSCs and ADSC-Exos on the behavior of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts during wound healing and scarring stage in combination with recent studies.

Abstract
Chronic wounds continue to be a substantial public health concern contributing to both humanistic and economic burden worldwide. The magnitude of chronic wounds as a global healthcare crisis is likely to increase due to the rising geriatric and diabetic population, demanding novel therapeutic approaches that can restore the functionality of the skin at a reduced cost. Stem cell therapy has been widely acknowledged as a promising strategy for the repair of damaged tissues due to its regenerative potential. This potential attributes to a concoction of bioactive molecules secreted by the stem cells, collectively called the secretome, that mediates paracrine and autocrine functions. Among the stem cell types, adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) have been receiving increased attention for its ease of isolation, abundance in tissue and notable impact on improving chronic wound healing. Owing to the reported advantages of cell-free preparations like the secretome over cellular products, developing secretome as a ready-to-use product for wound healing applications seems promising. In this review, we discuss the functional benefits of adipose stem cell secretome in wound healing, the techniques to enrich the secretome and the recommendations for the scale-up and commercialization of secretome products.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) have been growing in popularity for their potential in wound healing and tissue engineering. Stem cell therapies are limited in application, with the need to maintain cell viability and function as well as safety concerns. It has been increasingly reported that the effects of ASCs are predominantly attributable to the paracrine effects of the secreted factors, which can be collected in conditioned medium (CM). The goal of this systematic review is to investigate the effects on wound healing of CM collected from ASC culture. Original articles relevant to ASC-CM and wound healing (in vitro: dermal fibroblast, epidermal keratinocytes and their equivalent cell lines; in vivo: full-thickness wound models) were included. The agreement level of selections between two investigators were calculated by the kappa scores. And the information concerning to the publications, CM preparation and its application and effects were extracted and reported in a systematic way and summarized in tables. In total, 121 publications were initially identified through a search of the PubMed/MEDLINE database with a specific search algorithm, and 36 articles were ultimately included after two screenings. Nineteen were in vitro studies that met the search criteria and 17 were in vivo studies with or without in vitro data. In summary, based on the included articles, treatment with ASC conditioned medium (ASC-CM), to a large extent, resulted in positive effects on wound healing in vitro and in vivo. Modulation of the culture conditions of ASCs producing the CM, including hypoxic conditions, alternative substrates, medium supplementation, as well as genetic modification of cells, favorably promoted the effects of ASC-CM. Finally, a discussion of the future perspectives and therapeutic potential of ASC-CM, which also addresses the limitations of the field, is presented. A limitation of the evidence is the inconsistency in CM preparation methods among included articles. In conclusion, ASC-CM is a promising novel cell-free therapy for wound healing in regenerative medicine and warrants further exploration.

Effect of Pig-Adipose-Derived Stem Cells' Conditioned Media on Skin Wound-Healing Characteristics In Vitro. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22115469.

Abstract
The primary mechanism by which adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) exert their reparative or regenerative potential relies predominantly on paracrine action. Secretory abilities of ASCs have been found to be amplified by hypoxia pre-conditioning. This study investigates the impact of hypoxia (1% O2) on the secretome composition of pig ASCs (pASCs) and explores the effect of pASCs’ conditioned media (CM) on skin cell functions in vitro and the expression of markers attributed to wound healing. Exposure of pASCs to hypoxia increased levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in CM-Hyp compared to CM collected from the cells cultured in normoxia (CM-Nor). CM-Hyp promoted the migratory ability of pig keratinocytes (pKERs) and delayed migration of pig dermal fibroblasts (pDFs). Exposure of pKERs to either CM-Nor or CM-Hyp decreased the levels of pro-fibrotic indicators WNT10A and WNT11. Furthermore, CM-Hyp enhanced the expression of KRT14, the marker of the basal epidermis layer. In contrast, CM-Nor showed a stronger effect on pDFs manifested by increases in TGFB1, COL1A1, COL3A1, and FN1 mRNA expression. The formation of three-dimensional endothelial cell networks was improved in the presence of CM-Hyp. Overall, our results demonstrate that the paracrine activity of pASCs affects skin cells, and this property might be used to modulate wound healing.

Abstract
Background Bombyx mori silk fibroin is a biomacromolecule that allows the assembly of scaffolds for tissue engineering and regeneration purposes due to its cellular adhesiveness, high biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. Earlier work showed that two types of 3D silk fibroin nonwovens (3D-SFnws) implanted into mouse subcutaneous tissue were promptly vascularized via undefined molecular mechanisms. The present study used nontumorigenic adult human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) adhering to a third type of 3D-SFnws to assess whether HDFs release exosomes whose contents promote neoangiogenesis. Methods Electron microscopy imaging and physical tests defined the features of the novel carded/hydroentangled 3D-SFnws. HDFs were cultured on 3D-SFnws and polystyrene plates in an exosome-depleted medium. DNA amounts and D-glucose consumption revealed the growth and metabolic activities of HDFs on 3D-SFnws. CD9-expressing total exosome fractions were from conditioned media of 3D-SFnws and 2D polystyrene plates HDF cultures. Angiogenic growth factors (AGFs) in equal amounts of the two groups of exosomal proteins were analysed via double-antibody arrays. A tube formation assay using human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMVECs) was used to evaluate the exosomes’ angiogenic power. Results The novel features of the 3D-SFnws met the biomechanical requirements typical of human soft tissues. By experimental day 15, 3D-SFnws-adhering HDFs had increased 4.5-fold in numbers and metabolized 5.4-fold more D-glucose than at day 3 in vitro. Compared to polystyrene-stuck HDFs, exosomes from 3D-SFnws-adhering HDFs carried significantly higher amounts of AGFs, such as interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-4 and IL-8; angiopoietin-1 and angiopoietin-2; angiopoietin-1 receptor (or Tie-2); growth-regulated oncogene (GRO)-α, GRO-β and GRO-γ; matrix metalloproteinase-1; tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-1; and urokinase-type plasminogen activator surface receptor, but lesser amounts of anti-angiogenic tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-2 and pro-inflammatory monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. At concentrations from 0.62 to 10 μg/ml, the exosomes from 3D-SFnws-cultured HDFs proved their angiogenic power by inducing HDMVECs to form significant amounts of tubes in vitro. Conclusions The structural and mechanical properties of carded/hydroentangled 3D-SFnws proved their suitability for tissue engineering and regeneration applications. Consistent with our hypothesis, 3D-SFnws-adhering HDFs released exosomes carrying several AGFs that induced HDMVECs to promptly assemble vascular tubes in vitro. Hence, we posit that once implanted in vivo, the 3D-SFnws/HDFs interactions could promote the vascularization and repair of extended skin wounds due to burns or other noxious agents in human and veterinary clinical settings.

Adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC)-based therapeutic strategies are in fast-pace advancement in wound treatment due to their availability and the ability to self-renew, undergo multilineage differentiation and self-renewal. Existing studies have successfully explored ADSCs to facilitate scar-free healing of small wounds, but whether the healing of large-area wounds that exhibit over 50% of skin tissue loss in the entire body could be achieved remains controversial. This study sought to review the mechanism of physiological wound healing, and discuss the roles played by chemokines, biological factors and biomaterial scaffolds. The possibility of applying ADSC-conditioned medium or ADSC-released exosomes as 'off-the-shelf' tissue engineering products, integrated with biomaterial scaffolds to facilitate wound healing, was analyzed.

Human galectin‑3: Molecular switch of gene expression in dermal fibroblasts in vitro and of skin collagen organization in open wounds and tensile strength in incisions in vivo.

Abstract
Understanding the molecular and cellular processes in skin wound healing can pave the way for devising innovative concepts by turning the identified natural effectors into therapeutic tools. Based on the concept of broad-scale engagement of members of the family of galactoside-binding lectins (galectins) in pathophysiological processes, such as cancer or tissue repair/regeneration, the present study investigated the potential of galectins-1 (Gal-1) and −3 (Gal-3) in wound healing. Human dermal fibroblasts, which are key cells involved in skin wound healing, responded to galectin exposure (Gal-1 at 300 or Gal-3 at 600 ng/ml) with selective changes in gene expression among a panel of 84 wound-healing-related genes, as well as remodeling of the extracellular matrix. In the case of Gal-3, positive expression of Ki67 and cell number increased when using a decellularized matrix produced by Gal-3-treated fibroblasts as substrate for culture of interfollicular keratinocytes. In vivo wounds were topically treated with 20 μg/ml Gal-1 or −3, and collagen score was found to be elevated in excisional wound repair in rats treated with Gal-3. The tensile strength measured in incisions was significantly increased from 79.5±17.5 g/mm2 in controls to 103.1±21.4 g/mm2 after 21 days of healing. These data warrant further testing mixtures of galectins and other types of compounds, for example a combination of galectins and TGF-β1.

Abstract
Upon healing, burn wounds often leave hypertrophic scars (HTSs) marked by excess collagen deposition, dermal and epidermal thickening, hypervascularity, and an increased density of fibroblasts. The Galectins, a family of lectins with a conserved carbohydrate recognition domain, function intracellularly and extracellularly to mediate a multitude of biological processes including inflammatory responses, angiogenesis, cell migration and differentiation, and cell-ECM adhesion. Galectin-1 (Gal-1) has been associated with several fibrotic diseases and can induce keratinocyte and fibroblast proliferation, migration, and differentiation into fibroproliferative myofibroblasts. In this study, Gal-1 expression was assessed in human and porcine HTS. In a microarray, galectins 1, 4, and 12 were upregulated in pig HTS compared to normal skin (fold change = +3.58, +6.11, and +3.03, FDR <0.01). Confirmatory qRT-PCR demonstrated significant upregulation of Galectin-1 (LGALS1) transcription in HTS in both human and porcine tissues (fold change = +7.78 and +7.90, P <.05). In pig HTS, this upregulation was maintained throughout scar development and remodeling. Immunofluorescent staining of Gal-1 in human and porcine HTS showed significantly increased fluorescence (202.5 ± 58.2 vs 35.2 ± 21.0, P <.05 and 276.1 ± 12.7 vs 69.7 ± 25.9, P <.01) compared to normal skin and co-localization with smooth muscle actin-expressing myofibroblasts. A strong positive correlation (R = .948) was observed between LGALS1 and Collagen type 1 alpha 1 mRNA expression. Gal-1 is overexpressed in HTS at the mRNA and protein levels and may have a role in the development of scar phenotypes due to fibroblast over-proliferation, collagen secretion, and dermal thickening. The role of galectins shows promise for future study and may lead to the development of a pharmacotherapy for treatment of HTS.

Abstract
Conditioned medium (CM) contains variety of factors secreted by cells, which directly regulate cellular processes, showing tremendous potential in regenerative medicine. Here, for the first time, we proposed a novel regenerative therapy mediated by biodegradable micro-nano electrospun fibers loaded with highly active conditioned medium of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC-CM). ADSC-CM was successfully loaded into the nanofibers with biological protection and controllable sustained-release properties by emulsion electrospinning and protein freeze-drying technologies. In vitro, ADSC-CM released by the fibers accelerated the migration rate of fibroblasts; inhibited the over proliferation of fibroblasts by inducing apoptosis and damaging cell membrane; in addition, ADSC-CM inhibited the transformation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and suppressed excessive production of extracellular matrix (ECM). In vivo, the application of CM-biomaterials significantly accelerated wound closure and improved regeneration outcome, showing superior pro-regenerative performance. This study pioneered the application of CM-biomaterials in regenerative medicine, and confirmed the practicability and significant biological effects of this innovative biomaterials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have become one of the most utilized adult stem cells due to their abundance and accessibility. Recent studies have shown that paracrine cytokines, exosomes, and other active substances are the main factors through which ADSCs exert their biological effects. MAIN BODY Adipose cell-free derivatives have been recently gaining attention as potential therapeutic agents for various human diseases. These derivatives include ADSC-conditioned medium (ADSC-CM), ADSC exosomes (ADSC-Exo), and cell-free adipose tissue extracts (ATEs), all of which can be conveniently carried, stored, and transported. Currently, research on ADSC-conditioned medium (ADSC-CM) and ADSC exosomes (ADSC-Exo) is surging. Moreover, cell-free adipose tissue extracts (ATEs), obtained by purely physical methods, have emerged as the focus of research in recent years. CONCLUSION Adipose cell-free derivatives delivery can promote cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis, suppress cell apoptosis, and inflammation, as well as reduce oxidative stress and immune regulation. Thus, adipose cell-free derivatives have a broad therapeutic potential in many areas, as they possess anti-skin aging properties, promote wound healing, reduce scar formation, and provide myocardial protection and neuroprotection. This article summarizes these effects and reviews research progress in the use of adipose cell-free derivatives.

Abstract
The cell-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) is associated with a lower risk of pathogen transfer, and it possesses an ideal niche with growth factors and complex fibrillar proteins for cell attachment and growth. However, the cell-derived ECM is found to have poor biomechanical properties, and processing of cell-derived ECM into gels is scarcely studied. The gel provides platforms for three-dimensional cell culture, as well as injectable biomaterials, which could be delivered via a minimally invasive procedure. Thus, in this study, an adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC)-derived ECM gel was developed and cross-linked by genipin to address the aforementioned issue. The genipin cross-linked ADSC ECM gel was fabricated via several steps, including rabbit ADSC culture, cell sheets, decellularization, freeze-thawing, enzymatic digestion, neutralization of pH, and cross-linking. The physicochemical characteristics and cytocompatibility of the gel were evaluated. The results demonstrated that the genipin cross-linking could significantly enhance the mechanical properties of the ADSC ECM gel. Furthermore, the ADSC ECM was found to contain collagen, fibronectin, biglycan, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, which could substantially maintain ADSC, skin, and ligament fibroblast cell proliferation. This cell-derived natural material could be suitable for future regenerative medicine and tissue engineering application.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem (stromal) cells (MSCs) are self-renewing, cultured adult stem cells which secrete a complex set of multiple soluble biologically active molecules such as chemokines, and cytokines, cell adhesion molecules, lipid mediators, interleukins (IL), growth factors (GFs), hormones, micro RNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), messenger RNAs (mRNAs), exosomes, as well as microvesicles, the secretome. MSCs of various origin, including adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), human uterine cervical stem cells (hUCESCs), may be good candidates for obtaining secretome-derived products. Different population of MSCs can secret different factors which could have anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-fibrotic activities, a neuroprotective effect, could improve bone, muscle, liver regeneration and wound healing. Therefore, the paracrine activity of conditioned medium obtained when cultivating MSCs, due to a plethora of bioactive factors, was assumed to have the most prominent cell-free therapeutic impact and can serve as a better option in the field of regenerative medicine in future.

Abstract
Background: We previously revealed that the expression of galectin-1 (LGALS1) was significantly reduced after neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment in cervical cancer patients. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of LGALS1 expression on biological behaviors of cervical cancer cells. Methods: Immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry were performed to detect the expression of LGALS1 in cervical cancer tissues and cells (SiHa and C33A). Western blot analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy of lentivirus-mediated upregulation or downregulation of LGALS1 in cervical cancer cells. Cell viability and proliferation were detected by CCK-8 and BrdU assays, respectively. Annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis detection kit was employed to measure the apoptosis of cervical cancer cells. Transwell invasion and migration assays were also conducted to explore the invasive and migratory capabilities of cervical cancer cells. The expression of apoptosis- (Bcl-2 and Bax), invasion- (MMP-2 and MMP-9), and migration-related (Fascin and Ezrin) proteins, were detected by Western blot analysis. Xenograft mouse model of cervical cancer was generated to explore whether LGALS1 overexpression could promote tumor growth in vivo. Results: LGALS1 was overexpressed in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines compared to that in normal cervical tissues and epithelium cells. Upregulation of LGALS1 significantly promoted the cell proliferation, inhibited cell apoptosis, and enhanced the migratory and invasive abilities of both SiHa and C33A cells, whereas downregulation of LGALS1 led to the opposite results. The level of Bcl-2, MMP-2, MMP-9, Fascin, and Erzin expression was significantly upregulated in cervical cancer cells with LGALS1 overexpression, while converse results were obtained in LGALS1 knockdown cancer cells. In vivo study also showed that LGALS1 overexpression facilitated tumor growth of cervical cancer cells. Conclusion: Overexpression of LGALS1 significantly promoted and enhanced the aggressive features of cervical cancer both in vitro and in vivo, which may be associated with high expression of Bcl-2, MMP-2, MMP-9, Fascin, and Erzin proteins.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and their derivatives have aroused intense interest in fields of dermatological and aesthetic medicine. As a major component detected in ADSCs secretome, platelet-derived growth factor AA (PDGF-AA) has been reported mediating extracellular matrix deposition and remodeling, thus might contribute to its anti-aging effect. On the basis of establishing an experimental model that simulate actual skin aging by exposing HDFs to both intrinsic and extrinsic aging factors, we pretreated human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) with ADSC-conditioned medium (ADSC-CM) before being irradiated, aiming at exploring preventive effects of ADSCs secretome against aging damages. 48 h after irradiation, we detected cellular proliferation; β-galactosidase stain; mRNA expressions of MMP-1, MMP-9, and TIMP-1; and protein expressions of collagen I, collagen III, and elastin. Moreover, we detected related protein expression of PI3K/Akt signal pathway, which can be activated by PDGF-AA and was newly found to promote extracellular matrix protein synthesis. Concentration of PDGF-AA in the prepared ADSC-CM decreased over time and maintained excellent bioactivity at low temperature until the 11th week. ADSC-CM pretreatment can slightly or significantly improve cellular proliferative activity and reduce cellular senescence in irradiated HDFs. Besides, ADSC-CM pretreatment increased collagen I, collagen III, elastin, and TIMP-1 expressions but decreased MMP-1 and MMP-9 expressions both in irradiated and nonirradiated HDFs. ADSC-CM pretreatment significantly increased pAkt protein expression, and ECM protein expression greatly decreased in case of LY294002 application. The results were similar in three generations of HDFs, yet varied with different degrees. Generally, ADSC-CM we prepared demonstrates a certain degree of positive role in preventing HDFs from intrinsic and extrinsic aging damages and that PDGF-AA may contribute to making it become effective with some other components in ADSC-CM.

Abstract
Aim: We investigated the healing effects of conditioned medium (CM) derived from a physiological 3D culture system engineered to use an extracellular matrix/stromal vascular fraction (SVF) gel enriched for adipose on diabetic wounds in rats. This CM (Gel-CM) was compared with that from a 2D culture system that used SVF cells (SVF-CM). Materials & methods: Keratinocytes, fibroblasts and wounds were treated with Gel-CM and SVF-CM, and cytokine levels in the CM types were quantified. Results: Proliferation and migration of keratinocytes and fibroblasts were significantly higher after treatment with Gel-CM than with SVF-CM. Collagen secretion by fibroblasts and wound closure were highly stimulated by Gel-CM. Proteomic analyses revealed a higher concentration of growth factors in Gel-CM than in SVF-CM. Conclusion: Gel-CM is a promising therapeutic option for treating diabetic wounds.

Human adipose liquid extract induces angiogenesis and adipogenesis: a novel cell-free therapeutic agent. Stem Cell Res Ther 2019; 10:252. [PMID: 31412933 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-019-1356-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2019] [Revised: 07/22/2019] [Accepted: 07/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Taking advantage of cellular paracrine mechanisms, the secretome of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and adipose tissue has been demonstrated to induce tissue repair and regeneration in various ischemic and impaired conditions. However, these cell-based therapies have been hindered by issues, such as inherent safety and cost-efficiency for clinical applications. In this study, we prepared a liquid cell-free extract from human adipose tissue [adipose liquid extract (ALE)] and evaluated its potential therapeutic efficacy. METHODS ALE was prepared from human subcutaneous adipose tissue using a rapid and physical approach, and the protein components in ALE were identified using mass spectrometry analysis. In vivo, the therapeutic effect of this agent was investigated on wound healing in C57BL/6 mice, and wound healing rate, vessel density, and neo-adipocyte formation in wounded skins were measured at days 3, 7, 11, and 14. In vitro, the effect of ALE on the viability of human ADSCs, tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and adipogenic differentiation of ADSCs were tested. RESULTS The results demonstrated that ALE contained a variety of growth factors and did not affect cell viability. ALE-treated wounds exhibited accelerated wound healing with increased vessel density and formation of neo-adipocytes compared to that of control wounds. Moreover, when added as a cell culture supplement, ALE effectively induced tube formation of HUVECs and lipid accumulation in ADSCs. ALE-treated ADSCs also exhibited elevated levels of adipogenic gene expression. CONCLUSIONS ALE is a novel growth-rich therapeutic agent that is cell-free and easy to produce. Besides, it is also able to induce angiogenesis and adipogenesis both in vitro and in vivo, thus indicating that it could be used for wound repair and soft tissue regeneration.

Secretome of Adipose Tissue-Derived Stem Cells (ASCs) as a Novel Trend in Chronic Non-Healing Wounds: An Overview of Experimental In Vitro and In Vivo Studies and Methodological Variables. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20153721. [PMID: 31366040 PMCID: PMC6696601 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20153721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 51] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2019] [Revised: 07/27/2019] [Accepted: 07/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process with a linear development that involves many actors in a multistep timeline commonly divided into four stages: Hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Chronic non-healing wounds fail to progress beyond the inflammatory phase, thus precluding the next steps and, ultimately, wound repair. Many intrinsic or extrinsic factors may contribute to such an occurrence, including patient health conditions, age-related diseases, metabolic deficiencies, advanced age, mechanical pressure, and infections. Great interest is being focused on the adipose tissue-derived stem cell’s (ASC) paracrine activity for its potential therapeutic impact on chronic non-healing wounds. In this review, we summarize the results of in vitro and in vivo experimental studies on the pro-wound healing effects of ASC-secretome and/or extracellular vesicles (EVs). To define an overall picture of the available literature data, experimental conditions and applied methodologies are described as well as the in vitro and in vivo models chosen in the reported studies. Even if a comparative analysis of the results obtained by the different groups is challenging due to the large variability of experimental conditions, the available findings are undoubtedly encouraging and fully support the use of cell-free therapies for the treatment of chronic non-healing wounds.

Mi B, Liu J, Liu G, Zhou W, Liu Y, Hu L, Xiong L, Ye S, Wu Y. Icariin promotes wound healing by enhancing the migration and proliferation of keratinocytes via the AKT and ERK signaling pathway. Int J Mol Med 2018; 42:831-838. [PMID: 29767263 PMCID: PMC6034939 DOI: 10.3892/ijmm.2018.3676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2018] [Accepted: 05/03/2018] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Icariin is a traditional Chinese drug that has long been used to treat various diseases. In the present study, the effect of icariin was investigated on cutaneous wound healing. Using in vitro experiments, it was demonstrated that icariin significantly promoted the migration and proliferation of keratinocytes via the activation of AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Inhibition of AKT or ERK reversed the effects of icariin on the proliferation and migration of keratinocytes. In addition, icariin inhibited the production of interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and induced the production of IL-10. Finally, animal experiments demonstrated that icariin treatment accelerated the wound closure rate. The present findings revealed that icariin may be a promising drug to promote the migration and proliferation of keratinocytes, and to accelerate the healing of skin wounds, through its role in the upregulation of AKT and ERK signaling.
