Modification of mesenchymal stromal cells with silibinin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles improves their therapeutic efficacy for cutaneous wound repair. NANOMEDICINE : NANOTECHNOLOGY, BIOLOGY, AND MEDICINE 2024; 61:102767. [PMID: 38906391 DOI: 10.1016/j.nano.2024.102767] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
The use of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for treating chronic inflammatory disorders, wounds, and ischemia-reperfusion injuries has shown improved healing efficacy. However, the poor survival rate of transplanted cells due to oxidative stress in injured or inflamed tissue remains a significant concern for MSC-based therapies. In this study, we developed a new approach to protect MSCs from oxidative stress, thereby improving their survival in a wound microenvironment and enhancing their therapeutic effect. We produced PLGA nanoparticles loaded with the cytoprotective phytochemical silibinin (SBN), and used them to modify MSCs. Upon internalization, these nanoformulations released SBN, activating the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway, resulting in threefold reduction in intracellular ROS content and improved cell survival under oxidative stress conditions. Modification of MSCs with SBN-loaded PLGA nanoparticles increased their survival upon transplantation to full-thickness cutaneous wounds and improved wound healing. This study suggests that MSC modification with cytoprotective nanoparticles could be a promising approach for improving wound healing.

Abstract
Aim: To assess the therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) combined with porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) on full-thickness skin injuries in rats. Methods: We established full-thickness skin injury models in Sprague-Dawley rats, dividing them into blank control, SIS, hUCMSCs and hUCMSCs combined with SIS. We monitored wound healing, scores and area, and analyzed inflammatory cells, microvessel density and collagen fibers after 12 days. Results: The blank group showed no healing, forming a scar of 0.6 × 0.5 cm2, while SIS and hUCMSCs groups exhibited incomplete healing with 0.4 × 0.5 cm2 scabs. Wound healing was significantly better in the hUCMSCs combined with the SIS group. Conclusion: Local application of hUCMSCs combined with SIS enhances full-thickness skin injury wound healing in rats.

Abstract
Background Synthetic and natural polymer scaffolds can be used to design wound dressing for repairing the damaged skin tissue. This study investigated acute wound healing process using a decellularized skin scaffold and mouse embryo fibroblast (MEF). Methods Mouse skin fragments were decellularized and evaluated by DNA content, toxicity, H&E staining, Raman confocal microscopy, Masson’s trichrome staining, SEM, and biodegradation assays. The fragments were recellularized by the MEFs, and cell attachment and penetration were studied. De- and decellularized scaffolds were used wound dressings in mouse acute wound models as two experimental groups. Using morphological and immunohistochemical assessments, wound healing was evaluated and compared among the experimental and control groups. Results DNA content of the decellularized tissue significantly reduced compared to the native control group (7% vs. 100%; p < 0.05). extracellular matrix components, e.g. collagen types I, III, and IV, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan, were well preserved in the decellularized group. The porosity and fiber arrangement in the stroma had a structure similar to normal skin tissue. A significant reduction in healing time was observed in the group treated with a decellularized scaffold. A thicker epidermis layer was observed in the recovered tissue in both experimental groups compared to the control group. Immunostaining showed a positive reaction for CD31 as an endothelial marker in both experimental groups, confirming new vascularization in these groups. Conclusion Using MEFs with decellularized skin as a wound dressing increases the rate of wound healing and also the formation of new capillaries. This system could be beneficial for clinical applications in the field of tissue engineering.

Abstract
The demand for innovative therapeutic interventions to expedite wound healing, particularly in vulnerable populations such as aging and diabetic patients, has prompted the exploration of novel strategies. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy emerges as a promising avenue for treating acute and chronic wounds. However, its clinical application faces persistent challenges, notably the low survivability and limited retention time of engraftment in wound environments. Addressing this, a strategy to sustain the viability and functionality of human MSCs (hMSCs) in a graft-able format has been identified as crucial for advanced wound care. Hydrogel microparticles (HMPs) emerge as promising entities in the field of wound healing, showcasing versatile capabilities in delivering both cells and bioactive molecules/drugs. In this study, gelatin HMPs (GelMPs) were synthesized via an optimized mild processing method. GelMPs with distinct diameter sizes were sorted and characterized. The growth of hMSCs on GelMPs with various sizes was evaluated. The release of wound healing promoting factors from hMSCs cultured on different GelMPs were assessed using scratch wound assays and gene expression analysis. GelMPs with a size smaller than 100 microns supported better cell growth and cell migration compared to larger sizes (100 microns or 200 microns). While encapsulation of hMSCs in hydrogels has been a common route for delivering viable hMSCs, we hypothesized that hMSCs cultured on GelMPs are more robust than those encapsulated in hydrogels. To test this hypothesis, hMSCs were cultured on GelMPs or in the cross-linked methacrylated gelatin hydrogel (GelMA). Comparative analysis of growth and wound healing effects revealed that hMSCs cultured on GelMPs exhibited higher viability and released more wound healing activities in vitro. This observation highlights the potential of GelMPs, especially those with a size smaller than 100 microns, as a promising carrier for delivering hMSCs in wound healing applications, providing valuable insights for the optimization of advanced therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) is one of three major treatments for malignant tumors, and one of its most common side effects is skin and soft tissue injury. However, the treatment of these remains challenging. Several studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) treatment enhances skin wound healing. In this study, we extracted human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) from patients and generated an in vitro radiation-induced skin injury model with HDFs to verify the effect of conditioned medium derived from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC-CM) and extracellular vesicles derived from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC-EVs) on the healing of radiation-induced skin injury. The results showed that collagen synthesis was significantly increased in wounds treated with ADSC-CM or ADSC-EVs compared with the control group, which promoted the expression of collagen-related genes and suppressed the expression of inflammation-related genes. These findings indicated that treatment with ADSC-CM or ADSC-EVs suppressed inflammation and promoted extracellular matrix deposition; treatment with ADSC-EVs also promoted fibroblast proliferation. In conclusion, these results demonstrate the effectiveness of ADSC-CM and ADSC-EVs in the healing of radiation-induced skin injury.

Abstract
Chronic diabetic wounds are a significant global healthcare challenge. Current strategies, such as biomaterials, cell therapies, and medical devices, however, only target a few pathological features and have limited efficacy. A powerful platform technology combining magneto-responsive hydrogel, cells, and wireless magneto-induced dynamic mechanical stimulation (MDMS) is developed to accelerate diabetic wound healing. The hydrogel encapsulates U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved fibroblasts and keratinocytes to achieve ∼3-fold better wound closure in a diabetic mouse model. MDMS acts as a nongenetic mechano-rheostat to activate fibroblasts, resulting in ∼240% better proliferation, ∼220% more collagen deposition, and improved keratinocyte paracrine profiles via the Ras/MEK/ERK pathway to boost angiogenesis. The magneto-responsive property also enables on-demand insulin release for spatiotemporal glucose regulation through increasing network deformation and interstitial flow. By mining scRNAseq data, a mechanosensitive fibroblast subpopulation is identified that can be mechanically tuned for enhanced proliferation and collagen production, maximizing therapeutic impact. The "all-in-one" system addresses major pathological factors associated with diabetic wounds in a single platform, with potential applications for other challenging wound types.

Abstract
A complete characterization of the burn wound based on cutaneous architectural changes and inflammatory response is extremely important to provide evidence for progressive changes in the burn wound. Burn wounds are highly susceptible to conversion into deeper wounds, which need special care and attention; thereby, the complete characterization of burn wound type and their subsequent inflammatory status in the cutaneous system at the earliest is of paramount importance. Inflammatory markers at different degrees will help clinicians devise better and more specific treatment strategies for each burn type. The present study is carried out to profile pro-inflammatory gene expression along with immune cell quantification, vascular perfusion, and histopathological assessment in the cutaneous system of murine models. The study revealed that burn injury caused an immediate increase in vascular perfusion in superficial and partial-thickness burns, whereas there was a decrease in vascular perfusion in full-thickness burns. An influx of lymphocytes at the edges of burn wounds in each type of burn injury was well-orchestrated with the event of vascular perfusion. Further, pro-inflammatory gene expression profiling revealed significant upregulation vis-à-vis upregulation of TNF-α and MCP-1 genes, with an increase in the number of neutrophils following 72 h of injury that evidently cemented the conversion of superficial burn into partial-thickness burn. The molecular findings were profoundly supported by the histopathological changes. Thus, our foundational studies show distinct characteristic cutaneous changes correlated with the expression of key pro-inflammatory genes in three different types of burn injuries. Characterization of these cutaneous inflammatory responses provides a promising future for medical interventions involved with different degrees of burn injury, and it will also help in the pre-clinical testing of therapies for burn injury.

Bioengineered skin constructs based on mesenchymal stromal cells and acellular dermal matrix exposed to inflammatory microenvironment releasing growth factors involved in skin repair. Stem Cell Res Ther 2023; 14:306. [PMID: 37880776 PMCID: PMC10601120 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-023-03535-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin tissue engineering is a rapidly evolving field of research that effectively combines stem cells and biological scaffolds to replace damaged tissues. Human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stromal cells (hWJ-MSCs) are essential to generate tissue constructs, due to their potent immunomodulatory effects and release of paracrine factors for tissue repair. Here, we investigated whether hWJ-MSC grown on human acellular dermal matrix (hADM) scaffolds and exposed to a proinflammatory environment maintain their ability to produce in vitro growth factors involved in skin injury repair and promote in vivo wound healing. METHODS We developed a novel method involving physicochemical and enzymatic treatment of cadaveric human skin to obtain hADM scaffold. Subsequently, skin bioengineered constructs were generated by seeding hWJ-MSCs on the hADM scaffold (construct 1) and coating it with human platelet lysate clot (hPL) (construct 2). Either construct 1 or 2 were then incubated with proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) for 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. Supernatants from treated and untreated constructs and hWJ-MSCs on tissue culture plate (TCP) were collected, and concentration of the following growth factors, bFGF, EGF, HGF, PDGF, VEGF and Angiopoietin-I, was determined by immunoassay. We also asked whether hWJ-MSCs in the construct 1 have potential toward epithelial differentiation after being cultured in an epithelial induction stimulus using an air-liquid system. Immunostaining was used to analyze the synthesis of epithelial markers such as filaggrin, involucrin, plakoglobin and the mesenchymal marker vimentin. Finally, we evaluated the in vivo potential of hADM and construct 1 in a porcine full-thickness excisional wound model. RESULTS We obtained and characterized the hADM and confirmed the viability of hWJ-MSCs on the scaffold. In both constructs without proinflammatory treatment, we reported high bFGF production. In contrast, the levels of other growth factors were similar to the control (hWJ-MSC/TCP) with or without proinflammatory treatment. Except for PDGF in the stimulated group. These results indicated that the hADM scaffold maintained or enhanced the production of these bioactive molecules by hWJ-MSCs. On the other hand, increased expression of filaggrin, involucrin, and plakoglobin and decreased expression of vimentin were observed in constructs cultured in an air-liquid system. In vivo experiments demonstrated the potential of both hADM and hADM/hWJ-MSCs constructs to repair skin wounds with the formation of stratified epithelium, basement membrane and dermal papillae, improving the appearance of the repaired tissue. CONCLUSIONS hADM is viable to fabricate a tissue construct with hWJ-MSCs able to promote the in vitro synthesis of growth factors and differentiation of these cells toward epithelial lineage, as well as, promote in a full-thickness skin injury the new tissue formation. These results indicate that hADM 3D architecture and its natural composition improved or maintained the cell function supporting the potential therapeutic use of this matrix or the construct for wound repair and providing an effective tissue engineering strategy for skin repair.

In Situ Precision Cell Electrospinning as an Efficient Stem Cell Delivery Approach for Cutaneous Wound Healing. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2300970. [PMID: 37379527 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202300970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023]
Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapies have been brought forward as a promising treatment modality for cutaneous wound healing. However, current approaches for stem cell delivery have many drawbacks, such as lack of targetability and cell loss, leading to poor efficacy of stem cell therapy. To overcome these problems, in the present study, an in situ cell electrospinning system is developed as an attractive approach for stem cell delivery. MSCs have a high cell viability of over 90% even with a high applied voltage of 15 kV post-cell electrospinning process. In addition, cell electrospinning does not show any negative effect on the surface marker expression and differentiation capacity of MSCs. In vivo studies demonstrate that in situ cell electrospinning treatment can promote cutaneous wound healing through direct deposition of bioactive fish gelatin fibers and MSCs onto wound sites, leading to a synergic therapeutic effect. The approach enhances extracellular matrix remodeling by increasing collagen deposition, promotes angiogenesis by increasing the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and forming small blood vessels, and dramatically reduces the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) during wound healing. The use of in situ cell electrospinning system potentially provides a rapid, no touch, personalized treatment for cutaneous wound healing.

J Cosmet Dermatol 2023; 22:2333-2342. [PMID: 37025072 DOI: 10.1111/jocd.15721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Exosomes (Exos) and their contained microRNAs (miRNAs) have been emergingly recognized as key regulators in spanning biological processes, including proliferation and angiogenesis. AIM OF THE STUDY This work investigates the function of Exos derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (adMSCs) in viability of keloid fibroblasts (KFs). METHODS Abnormally expressed miRNAs in keloid tissues were screened using the GEO dataset GSE113620. Meanwhile, miRNAs enriched in adMSC-Exos were predicted by bioinformatics system. Exos were extracted from acquired adMSCs and identified, which were co-incubated with KFs. Uptake of Exos by KFs was examined by fluorescence staining. Viability, proliferation, and apoptosis of KFs were analyzed by CCK-8, EdU labeling, and TUNEL assays. Conditioned medium of KFs was collected to stimulate angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Binding between miR-7846-3p and neuropilin 2 (NRP2) was validated by luciferase assay. Protein levels of NRP2 and the Hedgehog pathway molecules were analyzed by western blot analysis. RESULTS miR-7846-3p was predicted as an exosomal miRNA aberrantly expressed in keloids. AdMSC-Exos reduced viability, proliferation, and apoptosis resistance of KFs, and they blocked the angiogenesis of HUVECs. miR-7846-3p targeted NRP2 mRNA. miR-7846-3p upregulation in KFs suppressed NRP2 expression and reduced the expression of Hedgehog pathway molecules SHH, SMO, and GLI1. Either miR-7846-3p inhibition in Exos or NRP2 overexpression in KFs blocked the effects of Exos and restored the viability, proliferation, and pro-angiogenic role of KFs. CONCLUSION This work unravels that adMSC-Exos-derived miR-7846-3p suppresses NRP2 and inactivates the Hedgehog signaling to reduce proliferation and pro-angiogenic role of KFs.

Abstract
Therapies based on mesenchymal stem cells have incredible potential for tissue regeneration. Tracking cells and keeping them at the injury site are creating challenges. The cells can be sown into a biocompatible scaffold as a possible remedy. Tissue engineering construction is a difficult, multistep process that requires many variables to be optimized, including the stem cell source, molecular components, scaffold architecture, and a suitable in vivo animal model. In order to locate a suitable regenerative scaffold for delivering stromal cells to regions with greater healing potential, we assessed whether human Wharton's Jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSCs) responded on biological membranes. WJMSCs were isolated, characterized, and seeded onto an amniotic membrane-based scaffold. Results obtained in vitro revealed that the seeded scaffolds had a significant impact on a number of critical variables, including seeding effectiveness, cellular dispersion, adhesion, survival, and metabolic activity. The research sheds light on a fresh facet of material behavior and paves the way for the creation of scaffold materials that support tissue regeneration and repair. Furthermore, the methods used herein can be utilized to test other scaffold materials to increase their healing potential with WJMSCs.

Abstract
Pressure ulcers (PUs) are increasing with aging worldwide, but there is no effective causal therapy. Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promote cutaneous wound healing, the effects of the conditioned medium (CM) of MSCs on cutaneous PU formation induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury have been poorly investigated. To address this issue, herein, we first established an immortalized stem cell line from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED). This cell line was revealed to have superior characteristics in that it grows infinitely and vigorously, and stably and consistently secretes a variety of cytokines. Using the CM obtained from the immortalized SHED cell line, we investigated the therapeutic potential on a cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion mouse model for PU formation using two magnetic plates. This is the first study to show that CM from immortalized SHEDs exerts therapeutic effects on PU formation by promoting angiogenesis and oxidative stress resistance through vascular endothelial growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor. Thus, the CM of MSCs has potent therapeutic effects, whereas these therapies have not been implemented in human medicine. To try to meet the regulatory requirements for manufacturing and quality control as much as possible, it is necessary to produce CM that is consistently safe and effective. The immortalization of stem cells could be one of the breakthroughs to meet the regulatory requirements and consequently open up a novel avenue to create a novel type of cell-free regenerative medicine, although further investigation into the quality control is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cell therapy holds great promise for cutaneous wound treatment but presents practical and clinical challenges, mainly related to the lack of a supportive and inductive microenvironment for cells after transplantation. Main: This review delineates the challenges and opportunities in cell therapies for acute and chronic wounds and highlights the contribution of biofabricated matrices to skin reconstruction. The complexity of the wound healing process necessitates the development of matrices with properties comparable to the extracellular matrix in the skin for their structure and composition. Over recent years, emerging biofabrication technologies have shown a capacity for creating complex matrices. In cell therapy, multifunctional material-based matrices have benefits in enhancing cell retention and survival, reducing healing time, and preventing infection and cell transplant rejection. Additionally, they can improve the efficacy of cell therapy, owing to their potential to modulate cell behaviors and regulate spatiotemporal patterns of wound healing. CONCLUSION The ongoing development of biofabrication technologies promises to deliver material-based matrices that are rich in supportive, phenotype patterning cell niches and are robust enough to provide physical protection for the cells during implantation.

Abstract
Wound management remains a challenging issue around the world, although a lot of wound dressing materials have been produced for the treatment of chronic and acute wounds. Wound healing is a highly dynamic and complex regulatory process that involves four principal integrated phases, including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Chronic non-healing wounds are wounds that heal significantly more slowly, fail to progress to all the phases of the normal wound healing process, and are usually stalled at the inflammatory phase. These wounds cause a lot of challenges to patients, such as severe emotional and physical stress and generate a considerable financial burden on patients and the general public healthcare system. It has been reported that about 1-2% of the global population suffers from chronic non-healing wounds during their lifetime in developed nations. Traditional wound dressings are dry, and therefore cannot provide moist environment for wound healing and do not possess antibacterial properties. Wound dressings that are currently used consist of bandages, films, foams, patches and hydrogels. Currently, hydrogels are gaining much attention as a result of their water-holding capacity, providing a moist wound-healing milieu. Chitosan is a biopolymer that has gained a lot of attention recently in the pharmaceutical industry due to its unique chemical and antibacterial nature. However, with its poor mechanical properties, chitosan is incorporated with other biopolymers, such as the cellulose of desirable biocompatibility, at the same time having the improved mechanical and physical properties of the hydrogels. This review focuses on the study of biopolymers, such as cellulose and chitosan hydrogels, for wound treatment.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can irreversibly damage biological molecules, a process known as oxidative stress. Elevated ROS levels are associated with immune cell activation. Sustained immune system activation can affect many different cells in the environment. One cell type that has been detected in almost all tissues of the body is mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC). MSC possess proliferation and differentiation potential, thus facilitating regeneration processes. However, the regenerative capacity of MSC might be impaired by oxidative stress, and the effects of long-term oxidative stress on MSC functions are sparsely described. The examination of oxidative stress is often performed by exposure to H2O2. Since H2O2 is rapidly degraded, we additionally exposed the cell cultures to glucose oxidase (GOx), resulting in sustained exposure to H2O2. Using these model systems, we have focused on the effects of short- and long-term oxidative stress on viability, migration, differentiation, and signaling. All cellular functions examined were affected by the applied oxidative stress. The differences that occur between pulsed and sustained oxidative stress indicated higher oxidative stress in MSC upon direct H2O2 exposure, whereas the GOx-induced prolonged exposure to H2O2 seems to allow for better cellular adaptation. The mechanisms underlying these different responses are currently unknown.

Abstract
Skin tissue regeneration and repair is a complex process involving multiple cell types, and current therapies are limited to promoting skin wound healing. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been proven to enhance skin tissue repair through their multidifferentiation and paracrine effects. However, there are still difficulties, such as the limited proliferative potential and the biological processes that need to be strengthened for MSCs in wound healing. Recently, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has been applied as a promising technology for tissue regeneration. 3D-bioprinted MSCs could maintain a better cell ability for proliferation and expression of biological factors to promote skin wound healing. It has been reported that 3D-bioprinted MSCs could enhance skin tissue repair through anti-inflammatory, cell proliferation and migration, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix remodeling. In this review, we will discuss the progress on the effect of MSCs and 3D bioprinting on the treatment of skin tissue regeneration, as well as the perspective and limitations of current research.

Abstract
Adipose-derived Stem cells (ASCs) are on the verge of being available for large clinical trials in wound healing. However, for developing advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs), potency assays mimicking the mode of action are required to control the product consistency of the cells. Thus, greater effort should go into the design of product assays. Therefore, we analyzed three ASC-based ATMPs from three different donors with respect to their surface markers, tri-lineage differentiation, proliferation, colony-forming unit capacity, and effect on fibroblast proliferation and migration, endothelial proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. Furthermore, the transcriptome of all three cell products was analyzed through RNA-sequencing. Even though all products met the criteria by the International Society for Cell and Gene Therapy and the International Federation for Adipose Therapeutics and Science, we found one product to be consistently superior to others when exploring their potency in the wound healing specific assays. Our results indicate that certain regulatory genes associated with extracellular matrix and angiogenesis could be used as markers of a superior ASC donor from which to use ASCs to treat chronic wounds. Having a panel of assays capable of predicting the potency of the product would ensure the patient receives the most potent product for a specific indication, which is paramount for successful patient treatment and acceptance from the healthcare system.

Abstract
Delayed and chronic wounds result from the dysregulation of molecular and cellular events associated with wound healing, including migration, inflammation, angiogenesis, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and re-epithelialization. Adipose tissue is an abundant, easily accessible, and rich source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with high therapeutic potential. In addition to their capability to differentiate into various lineages with specialized functions, adipose-derived MSCs (AMSCs) can mediate to the wound repair process through the secretion of different growth factors and mediators rather than making structural contribution alone. Adipose-derived MSCs mediate the formation of blood vessels, recruit progenitor cells, stimulate cell differentiation and ECM formation, and promote wound healing by releasing immune mediators and exosomes. Herein, we discuss and review the therapeutic potential of AMSCs for wound repair via acceleration of wound closure, re-epithelialization, enhancement of angiogenesis and immunomodulation of prolonged inflammatory responses, as well as the current challenges in clinical implementation.

Abstract
Medical health systems continue to be challenged due to newly emerging COVID-19, and there is an urgent need for alternative approaches for treatment. An increasing number of clinical observations indicate cytokine storms to be associated with COVID-19 severity and also to be a significant cause of death among COVID-19 patients. Cytokine storm involves the extensive proliferative and hyperactive activity of T and macrophage cells and the overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Stem cells are the type of cell having self-renewal properties and giving rise to differentiated cells. Currently, stem cell therapy is an exciting and promising therapeutic approach that can treat several diseases that were considered incurable in the past. It may be possible to develop novel methods to treat various diseases by identifying stem cells' growth and differentiation factors. Treatment with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in medicine is anticipated to be highly effective. The present review article is organized to put forward the positive arguments and implications in support of mesenchymal stem cell therapy as an alternative therapy to cytokine storms, to combat COVID-19. Using the immunomodulatory potential of the MSCs, it is possible to fight against COVID-19 and counterbalance the cytokine storm.

Abstract
A wound occurs when the epidermis and dermis of the skin are damaged internally and externally. The traditional wound healing method is unsatisfactory, which will prolong the treatment time and increase the treatment cost, which brings economic and psychological burdens to patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new method to accelerate wound healing. As a cell-free therapy, exosome derived from stem cell (EdSC) offers new possibilities for wound healing. EdSC is the smallest extracellular vesicle secreted by stem cells with diameters of 30-150 nm and a lipid bilayer structure. Previous studies have found that EdSC can participate in and promote almost all stages of wound healing, including regulating inflammatory cells; improving activation of fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and endothelial cells; and adjusting the ratio of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ. We reviewed the relevant knowledge of wounds; summarized the biogenesis, isolation, and identification of exosomes; and clarified the pharmacological role of exosomes in promoting wound healing. This review provides knowledge support for the pharmacological study of exosomes.

Abstract
Skin is a natural barrier of human body and a visual indicator of aging process. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the sunlight may injure the skin tissues and cause local damage. Besides, it is reported that repetitive or long-term exposure to UV radiation may reduce the collagen production, change the normal skin structure and cause premature skin aging. This is termed "photoaging". The classical symptoms of photoaging include increased roughness, wrinkle formation, mottled pigmentation or even precancerous changes. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a kind of cells with the ability of self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation into many types of cells, like adipocytes, osteoblasts and chondrocytes. Researchers have explored diverse pharmacological actions of MSCs because of their migratory activity, paracrine actions and immunoregulation effects. In recent years, the huge potential of MSCs in preventing skin from photoaging has gained wide attention. MSCs exert their beneficial effects on skin photoaging via antioxidant effect, anti-apoptotic/anti-inflammatory effect, reduction of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and activation of dermal fibroblasts proliferation. MSCs and MSC related products have demonstrated huge potential in the treatment of skin photoaging. This narrative review concisely sums up the recent research developments on the roles of MSCs in protection against photoaging and highlights the enormous potential of MSCs in skin photoaging treatment.

Abstract
The differentiation, migration, and proliferation of skin fibroblasts are identified as key factors in cutaneous wound healing. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) and their exosomes (ADMSC-Exos) have been considered as potential therapeutic tools for tissue regeneration; however, the underlying mechanisms on cutaneous wound healing are still not well understood. In this study, we successfully obtained ADMSC-Exos and found ADMSC-Exos significantly promoted the migration and proliferation of fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. The expression levels of COL-I and COL-III in fibroblasts treated with ADMSC-Exos were significantly increased, while the expression level of α-SMA was decreased. In addition, the enhanced protein expression of WNT2b and β-catenin confirmed the activation of the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway and the WNT/β-catenin inhibitor (XAV939) reversed the promoting effect of ADMSC-Exos on wound healing and the β-catenin expression. Taken together, our study partially elucidates the mechanism of ADMSC-Exos in wound healing, illustrating the potential of ADMSC-Exos as a new therapeutic approach to promote skin wound healing.

Abstract
Background Nowadays, wound is associated with a complicated repairing process and still represents a significant biomedical burden worldwide. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) possess multidirectional differentiation potential and secretory function, emerging as potential cellular candidates in treating wounds. Ascorbic acid 2-glucoside (AA2G) is a well-known antioxidant and its function in BMSC-promoting wound healing is worth exploring. Methods The in vitro cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of BMSCs and AA2G-treated BMSCs were detected by flow cytometry, EDU staining, scratch assay, transwell assay, and immunofluorescence (IF). Besides, the collagen formation effect of AA2G-treated BMSCs conditioned medium (CM) on NIH-3T3 cells was evaluated by hydroxyproline, qRT-PCR and IF staining detection. Next, in the wound healing mouse model, the histological evaluation of wound tissue in PBS, BMSCs, and AA2G-treated BMSCs group were further investigated. Lastly, western blot and ELISA were used to detect the expression levels of 5-hmc, TET2 and VEGF protein, and PI3K/AKT pathway activation in BMSCs treated with or without AA2G. Results The in vitro results indicated that AA2G-treated BMSCs exhibited stronger proliferation and improved the angiogenesis ability of vascular endothelial cells. In addition, the AA2G-treated BMSCs CM enhanced migration and collagen formation of NIH-3T3 cells. In vivo, the AA2G-treated BMSCs group had a faster wound healing rate and a higher degree of vascularization in the new wound, compared with the PBS and BMSCs group. Moreover, AA2G preconditioning might enhance the demethylation process of BMSCs by regulating TET2 and up-regulating VEGF expression by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway. Conclusions AA2G-treated BMSCs promoted wound healing by promoting angiogenesis and collagen deposition, thereby providing a feasible strategy to reinforce the biofunctionability of BMSCs in treating wounds.

Abstract
Different biomaterials have been used as biological dressing for wound regeneration. For many decades, human amniotic membrane graft (AM) has been widely applied for treating acute and chronic wounds. It has minimal toxicity and immunogenicity, supports mesenchymal cell in-growth, improves epidermal cell adherence and proliferation, and finally is inexpensive and readily available. Enrichment of tissue grafts with the stem cells is a new approach to improve their regenerative effects. This animal study aimed at investigating feasibility, safety, and efficacy of tissue-engineered dressings composed of AM and two different types of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the excisional wound model in rats. Human adipose-derived MSCs (ADMSCs) and placenta-derived MSCs (PLMSCs) were manufactured from the donated adipose and placenta tissues respectively. After cell characterization, MSCs were seeded on acellular AM (AAM) and cultivated for 5 days. Excisional wound model was developed in 24 male Wistar rats that were randomly classified into four groups including control, AAM, ADMSCs + AAM, and PLMSCs + AAM (n = 6 in each group). Tissue-engineered constructs were applied, and photographs were taken on days 0, 7, and 14 for observing the wound healing rates. In days 7 and 14 post-treatment, three rats from each group were euthanized, and wound biopsies were harvested, and histopathologic studies were conducted. The results of wound closure rate, re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, and collagen remodeling demonstrated that in comparison with the control groups, the MSC-seeded AAMs had superior regenerative effects in excisional wound animal model. Between MSCs group, the PLMSCs showed better healing effect. Our data suggested that seeding of MSCs on AAM can boosts its regenerative effects in wound treatment. We also found that PLMSCs had superior regenerative effects to ADMSc in the rat model of excisional wound.

Abstract
Significance: In adult mammals, spontaneous repair of a cutaneous wound occurs slowly and leaves a scar with skin adnexa deficiencies. To accelerate cutaneous wound-healing rates and avoid scar formation, current studies have focused on regenerative therapies. Recent Advances: Emerging therapeutics for regenerative wound healing often focus on the use of growth factors and stem cells. However, these therapeutic approaches have limited routine clinical use due to high costs and technical requirements. Critical Issue: Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the signaling pathways for cutaneous wound healing and neogenic synthesis of the skin components is important for identification of novel targets for the development of regenerative wound-healing agents. Future Directions: The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is a well-known key player for enhancement of the overall healing process involving tissue regeneration via crosstalk with other signaling pathways. Strategies that activate the Wnt/β-catenin pathway via modulation of the pathway-controlling regulatory factors could provide effective therapeutic approaches for regenerative wound healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (adMSCs) are suggested as potential tools for the treatment of regenerative diseases, including tissue repair. This study aimed to explore the function of adMSC-derived apoptotic bodies in skin wound healing and the molecules of action. METHODS The acquired adMSCs and their-derived apoptotic bodies were identified. A murine model of full-thickness skin wounds was treated with apoptotic bodies. The wound healing process of mice and the pathological changes in wound tissues were examined. Ana-1 macrophages were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and apoptotic bodies for in vitro experiments. Polarization of macrophages was examined by immunofluorescence staining of the specific biomarkers and ELISA kits. Dermal microvascular endothelial cells (DMECs) or dermal fibroblasts (DFs) were co-cultured with apoptotic bodies or the LPS- and apoptotic bodies-treated Ana-1 cells. Downstream molecules mediated by apoptotic bodies were screened by microarray and bioinformatic analyses. RESULTS Apoptotic bodies treatment accelerated skin wound healing in mice and promoted formation of granulation tissues and blood vessels in wound tissues. Apoptotic bodies treatment induced M2 polarization of macrophages. The angiogenesis ability of DMECs, and the viability and migration of DFs were increased when co-cultured with the apoptotic bodies-treated Ana-1 cells. MicroRNA (miR)-21-5p was abundantly expressed in ABs, and kruppel like factor 6 (KLF6) mRNA was confirmed as a target of miR-21-5p. Overexpression of KLF6 reduced M2 polarization of macrophages and blocked the promoting effect of apoptotic bodies on wound healing in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSION miR-21-5p carried by adMSC-derived apoptotic bodies targets KLF6 to induce M2 polarization of macrophages and augment skin wound healing.

Abstract
Chronic/non-healing cutaneous wounds pose a debilitating burden on patients and healthcare system. Presently, treatment modalities are rapidly shifting pace from conventional methods to advanced wound care involving cell-based therapies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have come across as a prospective option due to its pleiotropic functions viz. non-immunogenicity, multipotency, multi-lineage plasticity and secretion of growth factors, cytokines, microRNAs (miRNA), exosomes, and microvesicles as part of their secretome for assisting wound healing. We outline the therapeutic role played by MSCs and its secretome in suppressing tissue inflammation, causing immunomodulation, aiding angiogenesis and assisting in scar-free wound healing. We further assess the mechanism of action by which MSCs contribute in manifesting tissue repair. The review flows ahead in exploring factors that influence healing behavior including effect of multiple donor sites, donor age and health status, tissue microenvironment, and in vitro expansion capability. Moving ahead, we overview the advancements achieved in extending the lifespan of cells upon implantation, influence of genetic modifications aimed at altering MSC cargo, and evaluating bioengineered matrix-assisted delivery methods toward faster healing in preclinical and clinical models. We also contribute toward highlighting the challenges faced in commercializing cell-based therapies as standard of care treatment regimens. Finally, we strongly advocate and highlight its application as a futuristic technology for revolutionizing tissue regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a major complication of diabetes mellitus and a leading cause of lower limb amputation. Interventions to reduce psychological stress may have the potential to improve self-care and greatly reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with DFU. This review is focused on the consequences of psychological stress in wound healing and reflects on the effects of currently used psychological stress-reducing interventions in patients with DFU, proposing new applications for currently used stress-reduction interventions. RESULTS Stress is a natural and fundamental survival mechanism that becomes harmful when chronic. DFU is associated with high levels of anxiety and chronic psychological stress. Chronic stressinduced cortisol and adrenaline release impair wound healing, independently of the stressor. Psychological stress-reducing interventions, such as relaxation with guided imagery, biofeedback-assisted relaxation, mindfulness-based strategies, and hypnosis, can lead to a reduction in perceived stress and improve wound healing by reducing wound inflammation and pain while improving glycemic control. All stress reduction interventions also lead to pain relief and improved patient's quality of life. CONCLUSION Psychological stress-reducing interventions are promising adjuvant therapies for DFU. Their clinical application can improve self-care by tackling patient's expectations, anxieties, and fears. They can also help patients manage stress and pain while reducing wound inflammation and improving wound healing.

Abstract
Tissue repair and regeneration after damage is not completely understood, and current therapies to support this process are limited. The wound healing process is associated with cell migration and proliferation, extracellular matrix remodeling, angiogenesis and re-epithelialization. In normal conditions, a wound will lead to healing, resulting in reparation of the tissue. Several risk factors, chronic inflammation, and some diseases lead to a deficient wound closure, producing a scar that can finish with a pathological fibrosis. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are widely used for their regenerative capacity and their possible therapeutically potential. Derived products of MSCs, such as exosomes or extravesicles, have shown a therapeutic potential similar to MSCs, and these cell-free products may be interesting in clinics. MSCs or their derivative products have shown paracrine beneficial effects, regulating inflammation, modifying the fibroblast activation and production of collagen and promoting neovascularization and re-epithelialization. This review describes the effects of MSCs and their derived products in each step of the wound repair process. As well, it reviews the pre-clinical and clinical use of MSCs to benefit in skin wound healing in diabetic associated wounds and in pathophysiological fibrosis.

Abstract
Non-healing wounds have demonstrated aberrant regulation of several growth factors, thus using exogenous growth factors and cytokines in the clinical setting may improve the outcomes of non-healing wounds. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the source of growth factors that show beneficial effect in promoting impaired wound healing. Certain culture condition should be developed to stimulate growth factor secretion from stem cell. Resveratrol, a small molecule found to increase MSCs therapeutic effectiveness. This study aims to investigate the effect of RV on secretion of wound healing related growth factors. We isolated and characterised MSCs from wharton's jelly (WJ), amniotic membrane (AM), and adipose tissue. We treated MSCs with serum deprived medium (SDM) supplemented with RV at 0.1 µM, 0.5 µM, 0.8 µM concentration. Our study revealed that RV at 0.1 µM was more effective to increase cell proliferation rate. Resveratrol at 0.1 µM promoted EGF, HGF, PDGF, and TGF-β1 secretion from MSCs. AD-MSCs showed the greatest response to RV stimulation in the term of cell proliferation and growth factors secretion. As conclusion, RV can facilitate cell proliferation and wound healing related growth factors secretion at dosage dependent manner.

Proteomic analysis of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicles from healthy donors: implications for proliferation, angiogenesis, Wnt signaling, and the basement membrane. Stem Cell Res Ther 2021; 12:328. [PMID: 34090527 PMCID: PMC8180068 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-021-02405-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) have shown therapeutic potential in various in vitro and in vivo studies in cutaneous wound healing. Furthermore, there are ubiquitous studies highlighting the pro-regenerative effects of BM-MSC extracellular vesicles (BM-MSC EVs). The similarities and differences in BM-MSC EV cargo among potential healthy donors are not well understood. Variation in EV protein cargo is important to understand, as it may be useful in identifying potential therapeutic applications in clinical trials. We hypothesized that the donors would share both important similarities and differences in cargo relating to cell proliferation, angiogenesis, Wnt signaling, and basement membrane formation—processes shown to be critical for effective cutaneous wound healing. Methods We harvested BM-MSC EVs from four healthy human donors who underwent strict screening for whole bone marrow donation and further Good Manufacturing Practices-grade cell culture expansion for candidate usage in clinical trials. BM-MSC EV protein cargo was determined via mass spectrometry and Proteome Discoverer software. Corresponding proteomic networks were analyzed via the UniProt Consortium and STRING consortium databases. Results More than 3000 proteins were identified in each of the donors, sharing > 600 proteins among all donors. Despite inter-donor variation in protein identities, there were striking similarities in numbers of proteins per biological functional category. In terms of biologic function, the proteins were most associated with transport of ions and proteins, transcription, and the cell cycle, relating to cell proliferation. The donors shared essential cargo relating to angiogenesis, Wnt signaling, and basement membrane formation—essential processes in modulating cutaneous wound repair. Conclusions Healthy donors of BM-MSC EVs contain important similarities and differences among protein cargo that may play important roles in their pro-regenerative functions. Further studies are needed to correlate proteomic signatures to functional outcomes in cutaneous repair.

Abstract
Objectives/Hypothesis: It is acknowledged that the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) represents an important challenge for rhinology and for social and economic life. At present, one of the most common treatments for CRS is represented by local corticosteroids followed by endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Starting from the example of the mesenchymal stem cell’s (MSC) capacity to migrate and to modulate a real response in the nasal mucosa of an allergic rhinitis mouse model, we try to obtain a response in a CRS mouse model, using MSC derived by adipose tissue. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the MSC can be used in CRS treatment and could change its priorities. Methods: Seventy female mice (6 MSC donor mice) were randomized in two stages of study, 32 Aspergillus fumigatus (Af) exposure mice (20 for histological comparison to 1st control mice and 12 for MSC administration, to CRS/MCS model) and 32 control mice (20 for histological comparison to CRS model and 12 for MSC administration and histological control to MSC model); in the first stage, the Aspergillus fumigatus (Af) CRS mouse model was targeted, in this section were included 64 (n = 32) mice (treated and control group). In order to assess the inflammation level (histological analysis), the animals were euthanized; in the second stage MSCs (1 × 106/animal) were administered intravenously to a total of 24 (n = 24) mice (12 mice from the exposed group and 12 mice from the second control group). Results: After 12 weeks of Af intranasal instillation, the inflammation parameters evaluated indicated a severe diffuse chronic inflammation, associated with diffuse severe hyperplasia and mature diffuse squamous metaplasia. The MSCs’ injection via the ophthalmic vein induced important histopathological changes in the CRS experimental group, starting with the presence of MSCs in all samples and continuing with the important degenerative character of inflammation. Conclusions: MSC administration demonstrated a real improvement of CRS evolution on the CRS mouse model.

Abstract
Early cell biology reports demonstrated the presence of cells with stem-like properties in bone marrow, with both hematopoietic and mesenchymal lineages. Over the years, various investigations have purified and characterized mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) from different human tissues as cells with multilineage differentiation potential under the appropriate conditions. Due to their appealing characteristics and versatile potentials, MSCs are leveraged in many applications in medicine such as oncology, bioprinting, and as recent as therapeutics discovery and innovation for COVID-19. To date, studies indicate that MSCs have varied differentiation capabilities into different cell types, and demonstrate immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory properties. Different microenvironments or niche for MSCs and their resulting heterogeneity may influence attendant cellular behavior and differentiation capacity. The potential clinical applications of MSCs and exosomes derived from these cells have led to an avalanche of research reports on their properties and hundreds of clinical trials being undertaken. There is ample reason to think, as discussed in this expert review that the future looks bright and promising for MSC research, with many clinical trials under way to ascertain their clinical utility. This review provides a synthesis of the latest advances and trends in MSC research to allow for broad and critically informed use of MSCs. Early observations of the presence of these cells in the bone marrow and their remarkable differentiation capabilities and immunomodulation are also presented.

Abstract
Cutaneous wounds are a growing global health burden as a result of an aging population coupled with increasing incidence of diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Cell-based approaches have been used to treat wounds due to their secretory, immunomodulatory, and regenerative effects, and recent studies have highlighted that delivery of stem cells may provide the most benefits. Delivering these cells to wounds with direct injection has been associated with low viability, transient retention, and overall poor efficacy. The use of bioactive scaffolds provides a promising method to improve cell therapy delivery. Specifically, hydrogels provide a physiologic microenvironment for transplanted cells, including mechanical support and protection from native immune cells, and cell-hydrogel interactions may be tailored based on specific tissue properties. In this review, we describe the current and future directions of various cell therapies and usage of hydrogels to deliver these cells for wound healing applications.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) isolated from fetal adnexa namely amniotic membrane/epithelium, amniotic fluid and umbilical cord have hogged the limelight in recent times, as a proposed alternative to MSCs from conventional sources. These cells which are identified as being in a developmentally primitive state have many advantages, the most important being the non-invasive nature of their isolation procedures, absence of ethical concerns, proliferation potential, differentiation abilities and low immunogenicity. In the present review, we are focusing on the potential preclinical and clinical applications of different cell types of fetal adnexa, in wound healing therapy. We also discuss the isolation-culture methods, cell surface marker expression, multi-lineage differentiation abilities, immune-modulatory capabilities and their homing property. Different mechanisms involved in the wound healing process and the role of stromal cells in therapeutic wound healing are highlighted. Further, we summarize the findings of the cell delivery systems in skin lesion models and paracrine functions of their secretome in the wound healing process. Overall, this holistic review outlines the research findings of fetal adnexa derived MSCs, their usefulness in wound healing therapy in human as well as in veterinary medicine.

Abstract
Therapeutic effects of adult stem-cell transplantations are limited by poor cell-retention in target organs, and a reduced potential for optimal cell differentiation compared to embryonic stem cells. However, contemporary studies have indicated heterogeneity within adult stem-cell pools, and a novel culturing technique may address these limitations by selecting those for cell proliferation which are highly functional. Here, we report the preservation of stemness in human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) by using microgravity conditions combined with microspheres in a stirred suspension. The cells were bound to microspheres (100-300 μm) and cultured using a wave-stirring shaker. One-week cultures using polystyrene and collagen microspheres increased the proportions of SSEA-3(+) hASCs 4.4- and 4.3-fold (2.7- and 2.9-fold increases in their numbers), respectively, compared to normal culture conditions. These cultured hASCs expressed higher levels of pluripotent markers (OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, MYC, and KLF), and had improved abilities for proliferation, colony formation, network formation, and multiple-mesenchymal differentiation. We believe that this novel culturing method may further enhance regenerative therapies using hASCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin wound healing has always been a challenging subject as it involves the coordinated functioning of various cells and molecules. Any disorder in wound healing can cause healing failure and result in chronic wounds. In this study, we hypothesized that co-cultured dermal fibroblasts (DFs) and Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) seeded on an acellular amniotic membrane scaffold could be used to promote skin regeneration in chronic ulcers. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this case series, the chronic wounds of five diabetic patients aged between 30 and 60 years were treated with co-cultured WJ-MSCs and DFs seeded on an acellular amniotic membrane. Treatment was applied and the wound healing process was evaluated every three days for nine days, with the patients being subsequently followed up for one month. The wound healing percentage, time taken for the wound to heal, and wound size were monitored. RESULTS The mean wound healing rate (WHR) increased progressively in all lesions. The mean percentage of wound healing after transplantation of the biological scaffold enriched with WJ-MSCs and autologous DFs after treatment was 93.92%, respectively. The healing percentage significantly increased after three days; significant decreases in wound size and healing time were recorded after six and nine days of treatment, respectively (p < 0.002); and total skin regeneration and re-epithelialization were achieved by the ninth day of treatment. There were no side effects or complications. CONCLUSION Given the current problems and complications presented by chronic wounds, Novel Clinical approaches involving cell therapy and tissue engineering can be regarded as an attractive therapeutic option for the treatment of chronic and difficult-to-heal wounds.

Abstract
Volumetric Muscle Loss (VML) is associated with muscle loss function and often untreated and considered part of the natural sequelae of trauma. Various types of biomaterials with different physical and properties have been developed to treat VML. However, much work remains yet to be done before the scaffolds can pass from the bench to the bedside. The present review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the latest developments in the construction and application of natural polymers-based tissue scaffolding for volumetric muscle injury. Here, the tissue engineering approaches for treating volumetric muscle loss injury are highlighted and recent advances in cell-based therapies using various sources of stem cells are elaborated in detail. An overview of different strategies of tissue scaffolding and their efficacy on skeletal muscle cells regeneration and migration are presented. Furthermore, the present paper discusses a wide range of natural polymers with a special focus on proteins and polysaccharides that are major components of the extracellular matrices. The natural polymers are biologically active and excellently promote cell adhesion and growth. These bio-characteristics justify natural polymers as one of the most attractive options for developing scaffolds for muscle cell regeneration.

Abstract
Background Multipotent mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (MSC) therapy is under investigation in promising (pre-)clinical trials for wound healing, which is crucial for survival; however, the optimal cell dosage remains unknown. The aim was to investigate the efficacy of different low-to-high MSC dosages incorporated in a biodegradable collagen-based dermal regeneration template (DRT) Integra®. Methods We conducted a porcine study (N = 8 Yorkshire pigs) and seeded between 200 and 2,000,000 cells/cm2 of umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal/stem cells on the DRT and grafted it onto full-thickness burn excised wounds. On day 28, comparisons were made between the different low-to-high cell dose groups, the acellular control, a burn wound, and healthy skin. Result We found that the low dose range between 200 and 40,000 cells/cm2 regenerates the full-thickness burn excised wounds most efficaciously, followed by the middle dose range of 200,000–400,000 cells/cm2 and a high dose of 2,000,000 cells/cm2. The low dose of 40,000 cells/cm2 accelerated reepithelialization, reduced scarring, regenerated epidermal thickness superiorly, enhanced neovascularization, reduced fibrosis, and reduced type 1 and type 2 macrophages compared to other cell dosages and the acellular control. Conclusion This regenerative cell therapy study using MSCs shows efficacy toward a low dose, which changes the paradigm that more cells lead to better wound healing outcome.

Abstract
To boost the healing process in a full-thickness wound, a simple and efficient strategy based on adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) transplantation is described in this work. To increase the chance of ADSCs immobilization in the wound bed and prevent its migration, these cells are fully grown on the surface of a thermoresponsive dressing membrane under in vitro condition. Then, the cells sheet with their secreted extracellular matrix (ECM) is transferred to the damaged skin with the help of this dressing membrane. This membrane remains on wound bed and acts both as a cell sheet transfer vehicle, after external reduction of temperature, and protect wound during the healing process like a common wound dressing. The visual inspection of wounded skin (rat animal model) at selected time intervals shows a higher wound closure rate for ADSCs treated group. For this group of rats, the better quality of reconstructed tissue is approved by results of histological and immunohistochemical analysis since the higher length of the new epidermis, the higher thickness of re-epithelialization layer, a higher level of neovascularization and capillary density, and the least collagen deposition are detected in the healed tissue.

Optimal H 2O 2 preconditioning to improve bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells' engraftment in wound healing. Stem Cell Res Ther 2020; 11:434.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is a promising therapeutic strategy for wound healing. However, the poor migration capacity and low survival rate of transplanted BMSCs in wounds weaken their potential application. OBJECTIVE To identify the optimal protocol for BMSCs preconditioned with H2O2 and improve the therapeutic efficacy using H2O2-preconditioned BMSCs in wound healing. METHODS Mouse BMSCs were exposed to various concentrations of H2O2, and the key cellular functional properties were assessed to determine the optimal precondition with H2O2. The H2O2-preconditioned BMSCs were transplanted into mice with full-thickness excisional wounds to evaluate their healing capacity and tissue engraftment. RESULTS Treatment BMSCs with 50 μM H2O2 for 12 h could significantly enhance their proliferation, migration, and survival by maximizing the upregulation of cyclin D1, SDF-1, and its receptors CXCR4/7 expressions, and activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, but inhibiting the expression of p16 and GSK-3β. Meanwhile, oxidative stress-induced BMSC apoptosis was also significantly attenuated by the same protocol pretreatment with a decreased ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-9/3 expression. Moreover, after the identification of the optimal protocol of H2O2 precondition in vitro, the migration and tissue engraftment of transfused BMSCs with H2O2 preconditioning were dramatically increased into the wound site as compared to the un-preconditioned BMSCs. The increased microvessel density and the speedy closure of the wounds were observed after the transfusion of H2O2-preconditioned BMSCs. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggested that 50 μM H2O2 pretreated for 12 h is the optimal precondition for the transplantation of BMSCs, which gives a considerable insight that this protocol may be served as a promising candidate for improving the therapeutic potential of BMSCs for wound healing.

Abstract
Human adipose-derived stem cell spheroids have been widely used in the treatment or regeneration of damaged skin tissues, and their success is believed to be due in part to angiogenic factors released from the spheroids. To achieve the sustained release of bioactive components from implanted spheroids within a defective area, the use of a biocompatible scaffolding biomaterial is required. In this study, we developed an alginate-based scaffolding structure, which was processed using three-dimensional printing and electrospinning for use as a spheroid-entrapping structure. A micro-sized alginate strut and electrospun alginate nanofibers functioned not only to firmly entrap the spheroids, but also to enable the stable release of various angiogenic and wound healing-related factors. We also demonstrated the function of these factors using a tube-forming assay and found that conditioned media from the spheroid-scaffold group improved capillary-like structure formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells compared to the single cell-scaffold group. Our results suggest that this spheroid-entrapping alginate hybrid structure could represent a new platform for stem cell therapy using spheroid transplantation.

Abstract
Background Cell therapy has been evaluated pre-clinically and clinically as a means to improve wound vascularization and healing. While translation of this approach to clinical practice ideally requires the availability of clinical grade xenobiotic-free cell preparations, studies proving the pre-clinical efficacy of the latter are mostly lacking. Here, the potential of xenobiotic-free human multipotent adult progenitor cell (XF-hMAPC®) preparations to promote vascularization was evaluated. Methods The potential of XF-hMAPC cells to support blood vessel formation was first scored in an in vivo Matrigel assay in mice. Next, a dose-response study was performed with XF-hMAPC cells in which they were tested for their ability to support vascularization and (epi) dermal healing in a physiologically relevant splinted wound mouse model. Results XF-hMAPC cells supported blood vessel formation in Matrigel by promoting the formation of mature (smooth muscle cell-coated) vessels. Furthermore, XF-hMAPC cells dose-dependently improved wound vascularization associated with increasing wound closure and re-epithelialization, granulation tissue formation, and dermal collagen organization. Conclusions Here, we demonstrated that the administration of clinical-grade XF-hMAPC cells in mice represents an effective approach for improving wound vascularization and healing that is readily applicable for translation in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress and chronic hyperglycemia are two major side effects of type 2 diabetes affecting all cell types including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). As a cell therapy choice, understanding the behavior of MSCs will provide crucial information for efficient treatment. METHODS Placental mesenchymal stem cells were treated with various concentrations of glucose, metformin, rapamycin, and hydrogen peroxide to monitor their viability and cell cycle distribution. Cellular viability was examined via the MTT assay. Cell cycle distribution was studied by propidium iodide staining and apoptosis was determined using Annexin Vpropidium iodide staining and flow cytometry. Involvement of potential signaling pathways was evaluated by Western blotting for activation of Akt, P70S6K, and AMPK. RESULTS The results indicated that high glucose augmented cell viability and reduced metformin toxic potential. However, the hydrogen peroxide and rapamycin toxicities were exacerbated. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that high glucose concentration has a major effect on placental mesenchymal stem cell viability in the presence of rapamycin, metformin and hydrogen peroxide in culture.

Abstract
Background Radiation-induced skin injury remains a serious concern, which may limit the duration and dose of radiation treatment. The concept that stem cell injection may reduce tissue injury or assist its recovery after radiation has been recently argued. Herein, we examined the effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) on radiation-induced skin damage in rats. Methods This study is an experimental case control study. ASCs were isolated from peri uterine fat tissue of the rats. Then the rats received a 30 Gy single dose radiation to their buttocks skin using gamma radiation. Next day stem cells were transplanted subcutaneously in 16 rats as the case group. A group of 16 rats was considered as control group with radiation but no transplantation of stem cells. Then rats were examined and observed by macroscopic analysis and phenotypic scores during 4 weeks of follow up. Results The wound size in control group was significantly higher than case group in the second, third and fourth weeks of evaluation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in skin lesion severity, pathological factors, and the onset of recovery signs between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions It seems that using ASCs alone has not profound effects on reducing radiation-induced cutaneous complications, while combination of these cells with growth factors may produce more promising results.
