Abstract
The COVID-19 infection is a worldwide disease that causes numerous immune-inflammatory disorders, tissue damage, and lung dysfunction. COVID-19 vaccines, including those from Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Sinopharm, are available globally as effective interventions for combating the disease. The severity of COVID-19 can be most effectively reduced by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) because they possess anti-inflammatory activity and can reverse lung dysfunction. MSCs can be harvested from various sources, such as adipose tissue, bone marrow, peripheral blood, inner organs, and neonatal tissues. The regulation of inflammatory cytokines is crucial in inhibiting inflammatory diseases and promoting the presence of anti-inflammatory cytokines for infectious diseases. MSCs have been employed as therapeutic agents for tissue damage, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and COVID-19 patients. Our research aimed to determine whether live or dead MSCs are more suitable for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Our findings concluded that dead MSCs, when directly administered to the patient, offer advantages over viable MSCs due to their extended presence and higher levels of immune regulation, such as T-reg, B-reg, and IL-10, compared to live MSCs. Additionally, dead and apoptotic MSCs are likely to be more readily captured by monocytes and macrophages, prolonging their presence compared to live MSCs.

Abstract
Vaccines have significant potential in treating and/or preventing diseases, yet there remain challenges in developing effective vaccines against some diseases, such as AIDS and certain tumors. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a subset of cells with low immunogenicity, high proliferation potential, and an abundant source of extracellular vesicles (EVs), represent one of the novel and promising vaccine platforms. This review describes the unique features and potential mechanisms of MSCs as a novel vaccine platform. We also cover aspects such as the safety and stability of MSCs that warrant future in-depth studies.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) show a good property for pain treatment by modulating inflammatory response. However, the underlying therapeutic effect and related mechanism of BMSCs on inflammatory pain remain unclear. Therefore, we explored the function and potential mechanism of BMSCs performing in a complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammatory pain model in this study. Here, BMSCs were injected into the CFA-treated rats, and we used behavioural tests to evaluate the changes in hypersensitivity. High-throughput sequencing was used to screen out the hub genes. Molecular biology experiments were performed to detect the level of P2X3 or inflammatory mediators in rats and observed the distribution of P2X3 in neural cells. Furthermore, the function of the P2X3 was explored via inhibitor and activator experiments. Finally, we found that BMSCs alleviated hyperalgesia and spinal levels of pro-inflammatory factors in CFA-treated rats. High-throughput sequencing showed that P2X3 and P2X7 were identified as hub genes, and only the expression level of P2X3 was significantly down-regulated after BMSCs treatment. Immunohistochemistry showed that P2X3 mainly colocalized with microglia and astrocytes. The levels of P2X3 and pro-inflammatory factors were all significantly reduced after BMSC injection. Moreover, similar attenuation was found in the CFA-treated rats after injecting the P2X3 inhibitor, and a P2X3 antagonist reversed the attenuation induced by the BMSCs. These findings suggest that BMSCs exerted a therapeutic effect on inflammatory pain by inhibiting the expression of P2X3 and the excessive production of inflammatory mediators was associated with an increased P2X3 level and BMSC therapy reverse these effects.

Secure reversal of immune evasion from refractory NSCLC and highly contagious CoV-2 mutants by using 3D-engineered multifunctional biologics. Bioeng Transl Med 2023; 8:e10554.

Abstract
There is an imperative choice to develop a secure feasible strategy to address evasion dynamics of refractory tumors and SARS-CoV-2-variants, while stem cell-based protocol may be more reliable as its unique ability for resetting multifunctional immunity to address progressive tumor and the constantly-evolving virus. In this study, spheroid-embryonoid stem cells from mature somatic cells were engineered as multifunctional biologics (3D-E/BSC) and inoculated in senile rhesus to identify secure potential against immune-evasion from viral-variants. Meanwhile, a cohort of eligible patients with stage IV NSCLC were approved for phase I clinical trials. Subsequently, long-lasting security and efficacy were validated by primate and clinical trials (p < 0.01) in that it could not only stimulate serological immunity, but also reset core immunity for hosts to address variant evasion after 3D-E/BSC withdrawal. Particularly, illustrated by single-cell evolving trajectory, 3D-E/BSC had securely reset senile thymus of aging hosts to remodel core immunity by rearranging naive rhythm to evolve TRGC2+/JCHAIN+NKT clusters to abolish tumoral and viral evasion dynamics with path-feedbacks of NSCLC and COVID-19 simultaneously activated, leading to continuous blockade of breakthrough infection of viral-mutants and long-term survival in one-third of terminal patients without adjuvant required. Our study may pioneer a practical multifunctional strategy to eliminate evasion of SARS-CoV-2 variants and refractory NSCLC so as for victims to restart a new life-equation.

Abstract
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has been a shocking disaster for healthcare systems worldwide since December 2019. This virus can affect all systems of the body and its symptoms vary from a simple upper respiratory infection to fatal complications including end-organ damage. On the other hand, the normal immune system plays a pivotal role in the recovery of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. However, occasionally, exaggerated immune system inflammation and an excessive synthesis of cytokines, known as a "cytokine storm," can deteriorate the patient's clinical condition. Secondary bacterial co-infection is another problem in COVID-19 which affects the prognosis of patients. Although there are a few studies about this complication, they suggest not using antibiotics commonly, especially broad-spectrum ones. During this pandemic, various approaches and therapeutics were introduced for treating COVID-19 patients. However, available treatments are not helpful enough, especially for complicated cases. Hence, in this era, cell therapy and regenerative medicine will create new opportunities. Therefore, the therapeutic benefits of mesenchymal stem cells, especially their antimicrobial activity, will help us understand how to treat COVID-19. Herein, mesenchymal stem cells may stop the immune system from becoming overactive in COVID-19 patients. On the other side, the stem cells' capacity for repair could encourage natural healing processes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Feline autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) show promise for immunomodulatory activity, but the functional impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD), concurrent immunosuppressive drug administration or infection is unknown. The study objectives compare endogenous cytokine gene expression (interleukin [IL]-6, IL-10, IL-12p40, IL-18 and transforming growth factor beta [TGF-β]) in adipose-derived MSCs (aMSCs) from cats with and without CKD, following in vitro exposure to microbial ligands and treatment with common immunosuppressive drugs. METHODS Previously obtained aMSCs, phenotype CD44+, CD90+, CD105+ and MHCII-, from cats with (n = 6) and without (n = 6) CKD were compared via real-time PCR (RT-PCR) for immunomodulatory gene expression. aMSCs were exposed in vitro to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), peptidoglycan or polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C), simulating bacterial or viral exposure, respectively. aMSCs were also exposed to ciclosporin, dexamethasone or methotrexate. Gene expression was measured using RT-PCR, and Cq was utilized after each run to calculate the delta cycle threshold. RESULTS aMSCs isolated from healthy and CKD cats showed no significant differences in gene expression in the five measured cytokines. No significant changes in measured gene expression after drug treatment or microbial ligand stimulation were observed between normal or CKD affected cats. Proinflammatory genes (IL-6, IL-12p40 and IL-18) showed altered expression in aMSCs from both groups when compared with the same cells in standard culture after exposure to methotrexate. Poly I:C altered IL-6 and TGF-β gene expression in aMSCs from both healthy and CKD cats when compared with the same cells in standard culture. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The five genes tested showed no statistical differences between aMSCs from healthy or CKD cats. There was altered cytokine gene expression between the control and treatment groups of both healthy and CKD cats suggesting feline aMSCs have altered function with immunosuppressive treatment or microbial ligand exposure. Although the current clinical relevance of this pilot study comparing brief exposure to select agents in vitro in aMSCs from a small number of cats is unknown, the study highlights a need for continued investigation into the effects of disease and concurrent therapies on use of cell-based therapies in feline patients.

Abstract
Inflammation is a critical process in disease pathogenesis and the restoration of tissue structure and function, for example, in joints such as the knee and temporomandibular. Within the innate immunity process, the body's first defense response in joints when physical and chemical barriers are breached is the synovial macrophages, the main innate immune effector cells, which are responsible for triggering the initial inflammatory reaction. Macrophage is broadly divided into three phenotypes of resting M0, pro-inflammatory M1-like (referred to below as M1), and anti-inflammatory M2-like (referred to below as M2). The synovial macrophage M1-to-M2 transition can affect the chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in joints. On the other hand, MSCs can also influence the transition between M1 and M2. Failure of the chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs can result in persistent cartilage destruction leading to osteoarthritis. However, excessive chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs may cause distorted cartilage formation in the synovium, which is evidenced in the case of synovial chondromatosis. This review summarizes the role of macrophage polarization in the process of both cartilage destruction and regeneration, and postulates that the transition of macrophage phenotype in an inflammatory joint environment may play a key role in determining the fate of joint cartilage.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have great potential to differentiate into various types of cells, including but not limited to, adipocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts. In addition to their progenitor characteristics, MSCs hold unique immunomodulatory properties that provide new opportunities in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, and can serve as a promising tool in stem cell-based therapy. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disorder that deteriorates quality and function of the synovium membrane, resulting in chronic inflammation, pain and progressive cartilage and bone destruction. The mechanism of RA pathogenesis is associated with dysregulation of innate and adaptive immunity. Current conventional treatments by steroid drugs, antirheumatic drugs and biological agents are being applied in clinical practice. However, long-term use of these drugs causes side effects, and some RA patients may acquire resistance to these drugs. In this regard, recently investigated MSC-based therapy is considered as a promising approach in RA treatment. In this study, we review conventional and modern treatment approaches, such as MSC-based therapy through the understanding of the link between MSCs and the innate and adaptive immune systems. Moreover, we discuss recent achievements in preclinical and clinical studies as well as various strategies for the enhancement of MSC immunoregulatory properties.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common degenerative and inflammatory joint disorder, is multifaceted. Indeed, OA characteristics include cartilage degradation, osteophytes formation, subchondral bone changes, and synovium inflammation. The difficulty in discovering new efficient treatments for OA patients up to now comes from the adoption of monotherapy approaches targeting either joint tissue repair/catabolism or inflammation to address the diverse components of OA. When satisfactory, these approaches only provide short-term beneficial effects, since they only result in the repair and not the full structural and functional reconstitution of the damaged tissues. In the present review, we will briefly discuss the current therapeutic approaches used to repair the damaged OA cartilage. We will highlight the results obtained with cell-based products in clinical trials and demonstrate how the current strategies result in articular cartilage repair showing restricted early-stage clinical improvements. In order to identify novel therapeutic targets and provide to OA patients long-term clinical benefits, herein, we will review the basis of the regenerative process. We will focus on macrophages and their ambivalent roles in OA development and tissue regeneration, and review the therapeutic strategies to target the macrophage response and favor regeneration in OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47)-signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) signaling pathway plays important roles in immune homeostasis and tissue inflammatory response. Activation of the Hedgehog/smoothened (SMO)/GLI family zinc finger 1 (Gli1) pathway regulates cell growth, differentiation, and immune function. However, it remains unknown whether and how the CD47-SIRPα interaction may regulate Hedgehog/SMO/Gli1 signaling in mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-mediated immune regulation during sterile inflammatory liver injury. APPROACH AND RESULTS In a mouse model of ischemia/reperfusion (IR)-induced sterile inflammatory liver injury, we found that adoptive transfer of MSCs increased CD47 expression and ameliorated liver IR injury. However, deletion of CD47 in MSCs exacerbated IR-induced liver damage, with increased serum ALT levels, macrophage/neutrophil infiltration, and pro-inflammatory mediators. MSC treatment augmented SIRPα, Hedgehog/SMO/Gli1, and Notch1 intracellular domain (NICD), whereas CD47-deficient MSC treatment reduced these gene expressions in IR-stressed livers. Moreover, disruption of myeloid SMO or Notch1 increased IR-triggered liver inflammation with diminished Gli1 and NICD, but enhanced NIMA related kinase 7 (NEK7) and NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) activation in MSC-transferred mice. Using a MSC/macrophage co-culture system, we found that MSC CD47 and macrophage SIRPα expression were increased after LPS stimulation. The CD47-SIRPα interaction increased macrophage Gli1 and NICD nuclear translocation, whereby NICD interacted with Gli1 and regulated its target gene Dvl2 (dishevelled segment polarity protein 2), which in turn inhibited NEK7/NLRP3 activity. CONCLUSIONS The CD47-SIRPα signaling activates the Hedgehog/SMO/Gli1 pathway, which controls NEK7/NLRP3 activity through a direct interaction between Gli1 and NICD. NICD is a coactivator of Gli1, and the target gene Dvl2 regulated by the NICD-Gli1 complex is crucial for the modulation of NLRP3-driven inflammatory response in MSC-mediated immune regulation. Our findings provide potential therapeutic targets in MSC-mediated immunotherapy of sterile inflammatory liver injury.

Potency of Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Indomethacin in Complete Freund's Adjuvant-Induced Arthritic Rats: Roles of TNF- α, IL-10, iNOS, MMP-9, and TGF- β1. Stem Cells Int 2021; 2021:6665601.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune syndrome affecting joint spaces, leading to the disabled state. Currently, there is no optimal therapy for RA except for systemic immunosuppressants that have variable undesirable effects after long-term use. Hence, the need for other treatment modalities has emerged in an attempt to develop a treating agent that is effective but without bad effects. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) may be an alternative medicine since they may differentiate into a variety of mesenchymal tissues including bone and cartilage. Indomethacin (IMC) could be suggested as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antirheumatic potential agent against the course of RA since it possesses significant palliative effects and antipyretic properties. Therefore, our target of this study was to explore and compare the effect of BM-MSCs (1 × 106 cells/rat at the 1st, 6th, 12th, and 18th days) and IMC (2 mg/kg b.w./day for 3 weeks) either alone or in combination on arthritic rats. The model of rheumatoid arthritis in rats was induced by subcutaneous injection of 0.1 mL/rat CFA into the footpad of the right hind paw. The BM-MSC intravenous injection and IMC oral administration significantly reduced the elevated right hind leg paw diameter and circumference, serum anti-CCP, and ankle joint articular tissue expressions of TNF-α, iNOS, MMP-9, and TGF-β1 while they significantly increased the lowered articular IL-10 expression in CFA-induced arthritic rats. The combinatory effect of the two treatments was the most potent. In conclusion, the treatment of RA with BM-MSCs and IMC together is more effective than the treatment with either BM-MSCs or IMC. The Th1 cytokine (TNF-α), Th2 cytokine (IL-10), iNOS, MMP-9, and TGF-β1 are important targets for mediating the antiarthritic effects of BM-MSCs and IMC in CFA-induced arthritis in rats.

Combinatory Effects of Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Indomethacin on Adjuvant-Induced Arthritis in Wistar Rats: Roles of IL-1 β, IL-4, Nrf-2, and Oxidative Stress. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:8899143.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disorder triggered by autoimmune reactions and related with chronic inflammation and severe disability. Bone Marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM-MSCs) have shown a hopeful immunomodulatory effect towards repairing cartilage and restoring joint function. Additionally, indomethacin (IMC), a nonsteroidal compound, has been considered as a potent therapeutic agent that exhibits significant antipyretic properties and analgesic effects. The target of the current research is to assess the antiarthritic efficacy of BM-MSCs (106 cells/rat at 1, 6, 12 and 18 days) and IMC (2 mg/kg body weight/day for 3 weeks) either alone or concurrently administered against complete Freund's adjuvant-induced arthritic rats. Changes in paw volume, body weight, gross lesions, and antioxidant defense system, as well as oxidative stress, were assessed. The Th1 cytokine (IL-1β) serum level and Th2 cytokine (IL-4) and Nrf-2 ankle joint expression were detected. In comparison to normal rats, it was found that the CFA-induced arthritic rats exhibited significant leukocytosis and increase in paw volume, LPO level, RF, and IL-1β serum levels. In parallel, arthritic rats that received BM-MSCs and/or IMC efficiently exhibited decrease in paw edema, leukocytosis, and enhancement in the antioxidant enzymatic levels of SOD, GPx, GST, and GSH in serum besides upregulation of Nrf-2 and anti-inflammatory IL-4 expression levels in the ankle articular joint. Likewise, these analyses were more evidenced by the histopathological sections and histological score. The data also revealed that the combined administration of BM-MSC and IMC was more potent in suppressing inflammation and enhancing the anti-inflammatory pathway than each agent alone. Thus, it can be concluded that the combined therapy with BM-MSC and IMC may be used as a promising therapeutic choice after assessing their efficacy and safety in human beings with RA, and the antiarthritic effects may be mediated via modulatory effects on Th1/Th2 cytokines, ozidative stress, and Nrf-2.

How the Pathological Microenvironment Affects the Behavior of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21218140.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease characterized by fibroblasts activation, ECM accumulation, and diffused alveolar inflammation. The role of inflammation in IPF is still controversial and its involvement may follow nontraditional mechanisms. It is seen that a pathological microenvironment may affect cells, in particular mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that may be able to sustain the inflamed microenvironment and influence the surrounding cells. Here MSCs have been isolated from fibrotic (IPF-MSCs) and control (C-MSCs) lung tissue; first cells were characterized and compared by the expression of molecules related to ECM, inflammation, and other interdependent pathways such as hypoxia and oxidative stress. Subsequently, MSCs were co-cultured between them and with NHLF to test the effects of the cellular crosstalk. Results showed that pathological microenvironment modified the features of MSCs: IPF-MSCs, compared to C-MSCs, express higher level of molecules related to ECM, inflammation, oxidative stress, and hypoxia; notably, when co-cultured with C-MSCs and NHLF, IPF-MSCs are able to induce a pathological phenotype on the surrounding cell types. In conclusion, in IPF the pathological microenvironment affects MSCs that in turn can modulate the behavior of other cell types favoring the progression of IPF.

Abstract
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways where exaggerated T helper 2 immune responses and inflammatory mediators play a role. Current asthma treatment options can effectively suppress symptoms and control the inflammatory process; however, cannot modulate the dysregulated immune response. Allergen-specific immunotherapy is one of the effective treatments capable of disease modification. Injecting allergens under the skin in allergen-specific immunotherapy can reduce asthma and improve the sensitivity of the lungs, however, has a risk of severe reactions. Mesenchymal stem cells have immunoregulatory activity with their soluble mediators and contact dependent manner. In this review, we focus on the current treatment strategies with mesenchymal stem cells in asthma as a new therapeutic tool and compare those with immunotherapy.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 α (HIF1α), a regulator of metabolic change, is required for the survival and differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC). Its role in MSC immunoregulatory activity, however, has not been completely elucidated. In the present study, we evaluate the role of HIF1α on MSC immunosuppressive potential. We show that HIF1α silencing in MSC decreases their inhibitory potential on Th1 and Th17 cell generation and limits their capacity to generate regulatory T cells. This reduced immunosuppressive potential of MSC is associated with a metabolic switch from glycolysis to OXPHOS and a reduced capacity to express or produce some immunosuppressive mediators including Intercellular Adhesion Molecule (ICAM), IL-6, and nitric oxide (NO). Moreover, using the Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity murine model (DTH), we confirm, in vivo, the critical role of HIF1α on MSC immunosuppressive effect. Indeed, we show that HIF1α silencing impairs MSC capacity to reduce inflammation and inhibit the generation of pro-inflammatory T cells. This study reveals the pivotal role of HIF1α on MSC immunosuppressive activity through the regulation of their metabolic status and identifies HIF1α as a novel mediator of MSC immunotherapeutic potential.

Abstract
Human placenta-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hPMSCs) are promising candidates for the treatment of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which is associated with high IL-1β levels. In this study, the effects of IL-1β and hPMSCs on each other were investigated by analyzing the proportion of Th1, Th2 and CD4+IL-10+ T cells and PD-L1 expression, as well as the adhesion, migration, and proliferation of hPMSCs. The results showed that hPMSCs decreased IL-1β levels and downregulated Th1/Th2 and Th1/CD4+IL-10+ T cells ratios in the GVHD model. The in vitro results revealed that IL-1β strengthened the hPMSCs capacity to reduce the Th1/Th2 and Th1/CD4+IL-10+ T cell ratios, inhibited the adhesion and proliferation of hPMSCs and increased PD-L1 expression on hPMSCs via the JAK and NF-κB pathways. Overall, these findings suggested that hPMSCs alleviate GVHD by decreasing IL-1β level and maintaining the balance among different T cell subsets. IL-1β enhanced the ability of hPMSCs to balance different T cell subsets and inhibited hPMSCs adhesion and proliferation by regulating PD-L1 expression via the JAK and NF-κB pathways.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), a naturally occurring antagonist of IL-1α/IL-1β signaling pathways, has been attributed to the immunosuppressive effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs, in IL-1Ra-dependent manner, suppressed production of IL-1β in dermal macrophages, induced their polarization in anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, attenuated antigen-presenting properties of dendritic cells (DCs), and promoted expansion of immunosuppressive T regulatory cells in the skin, which resulted in enhanced repair of the nonhealing wounds. Reduced activation of inflammasome and suppressed production of IL-1β in macrophages were mainly responsible for beneficial effects of MSC-derived IL-1Ra in alleviation of acute lung injury, dry eye syndrome, and corneal injury. Through the production of IL-1Ra, MSCs reduced migration of DCs to the draining lymph nodes and attenuated generation of inflammatory Th1 and Th17 cells that resulted in alleviation of fulminant hepatitis and rheumatoid arthritis. MSCs, in IL-1Ra-dependent manner, reduced liver fibrosis by suppressing production of Type I collagen in hepatic stellate cells. IL-1Ra was, at least partially, responsible for enhanced proliferation of hepatocytes and chondrocytes in MSC-treated animals with partial hepatectomy and osteoarthritis. Despite of these beneficial effects, IL-1Ra-dependent inhibition of IL-1α/IL-1β-signaling significantly increased risk of infections. Therefore, future experimental and clinical studies should delineate potential side effects of MSC-derived IL-1Ra before IL-1Ra-overexpressing MSCs could be used as a potentially new therapeutic agent for the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
The immunosuppressive potential of mesenchymal stem cells has been extensively investigated in many studies in vivo and in vitro. In recent years, a variety preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells ameliorate immune-mediated disorders, including autoimmune diseases. However, to date mesenchymal stem cells have not become a widely used therapeutic agent due to safety challenges, high cost and difficulties in providing long term production. A key mechanism underpinning the immunomodulatory effect of MSCs is the production of paracrine factors including growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, and extracellular vesicles (EVs). MSCs derived EVs have become an attractive therapeutic agent for immunomodulation and treatment of immune-mediated disorders. In addition to many preclinical studies of MSCs derived EVs, their beneficial effects have been observed in patients with both acute graft-vs.-host disease and chronic kidney disease. In this review, we discuss the current findings in the field of MSCs derived EVs-based therapies in immune-mediated disorders and approaches to scale EV production for clinical use.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiated from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), name EMSCs, can treat a variety of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, with similar efficacies to those achieved with MSCs derived from somatic tissues such as bone marrow (BMSCs). The chance increases even higher for EMSCs, than somatic tissue derived MSCs, to become a cell drug as the former can be produced in large scale from an unlimited hESC line with easier quality control and less biosafety concern. We have further demonstrated that both human ESCs and EMSCs, after aggregation to form spheroids, can tolerate hypoxic and ambient conditions (AC) for over 4 and 10 days, respectively, without loss of their viability and alteration of their functions. Based on these advantages, we decided to test whether EMSC spheroids, made in large quantity and delivered through a long-term distance at AC, can treat osteoarthritis spontaneously developed in rhesus macaques (M. mulatta) monkeys as well as the allogenic MSCs. Methods: Xenogeneic AC-transported EMSC spheroids or allogenic BMSCs were injected into the articular cavity of both knees of the monkeys at 3 animals per group. Another two macaques were injected the same way with saline as controls. Results: Both EMSCs and BMSCs groups showed significant amelioration indicated by the reduction of swelling joint size and amplification of keen flare angle post-treatment, compared to the control group. Examinations via X-ray and MRI also indicated the decrease of inflammation and osteophyma, and recovery of the synovium and cartilage in both treated groups. No sign of allergy or graft versus host disease was observed in the animals. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that human EMSC spheroids can prevent the osteoarthtitis progression and ameliorate osteoarthritis in the rhesus macaques as well as allogenic BMSCs, and this study shall help advance the clinical application of EMSCs.

Abstract
Objectives: To analyze the further immunomodulatory effects of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stressed umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells MSCs (UC-MSCs) on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) CD4+CXCR5+ICOS+ T (follicular helper-like T, Tfh) cells.Methods: MSCs were isolated from umbilical cord and surface markers were identified by flow cytometry. CD4+ T cells were purified from RA patients' peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using immunomagnetic beads. Thapsigargin (Tg)-stimulated or unstimulated MSCs were co-cultured with RA CD4+ T cells. CD4+CXCR5+ICOS+ T cells were analyzed with fluorescence activating cell sorter (FACS) and major soluble factors secreted by MSCs were detected by qRT-PCR as well as ELISA. Receptors of prostanoid E2 (PGE2), known as EP1-4, on CD4+ T cells were tested with RT-PCR and FACS. Proportion of CD4+CXCR5+ICOS+ T cells was determined after EP2/EP4 antagonists and anti-IL-6R antibody was added into co-cultured system, respectively.Results: ER-stressed MSCs further down-regulated peripheral CD4+CXCR5+ICOS+ T cells compared with Tg-stimulated MSCs and CD4+ T co-cultured group. PGE2 and IL-6 increased obviously in the supernatants. EP2/EP4 could be detected on CD4+ T cells and frequencies of CD4+CXCR5+ICOS+ T cells were upregulated when EP2 and/or EP4 antagonists rather than anti-IL-6R antibody were added.Conclusions: ER-stressed MSCs exhibited better inhibition effect on RA CD4+CXCR5+ICOS+ T cells by releasing PGE2, indicating the immunosuppressive effect of MSCs could be enhanced by induction of ER stress.

Abstract
Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) show anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects that have prompted further research into their potential applications in treating paraquat (PQ) poisoning cases in emergency rooms. We assessed the protective effects, underlying mechanisms, and secondary inflammatory responses of MSCs on PQ-induced acute lung injury. Material/Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were injected intraperitoneally with PQ (20 μg per gram of body weight). MSCs were injected through the caudal vein 1 h after PQ treatment. The severity of lung injury and oxidative stress and levels of inflammatory mediators were examined with and without MSC grafting. Expression levels of TLR4, NF-κB, p65, Nrf2, HO-1, and activated caspase-3 protein were determined by Western blotting. Results Administration of MSCs significantly decreased the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 and polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) count in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of rats with PQ-induced ALI. In addition, MSC also effectively reduced the wet-to-dry lung weight ratio, lung injury score, and the levels of MDA and 8-OHdG. Conversely, MSC increased SOD and GSH-PX activity in the lung tissue. Moreover, MSC significantly upregulated HO-1, Nrf-2 protein expression in the lung tissue. In contrast, the levels of TLR4, NF-κB p65 and activated caspase-3 protein were decreased in MSC-treated rats (P<0.05). Conclusions Treatment with MSCs overexpressed Nrf2 gene and activated downstream antioxidant HO-1, leading to inhibit oxidative stress, cell apoptosis and inflammatory response in lung tissue, thereby significantly improving PQ-induced acute lung injury in rats.

Amelioration of clinical symptoms of patients with refractory rheumatoid arthritis following treatment with autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells: A successful clinical trial in Iran. Biomed Pharmacother 2018; 109:1834-1840. [PMID: 30551438 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2018.11.056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 65] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2018] [Revised: 11/04/2018] [Accepted: 11/14/2018] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune arthropathy characterized by synovial hyperplasia leading to functional impairment. Although the exact cause of RA is unknown, there is evidence suggesting the role of T cell subtypes in the pathogenesis of RA. Conventional therapy in some RA patients is associated with mild or severe side effects, and resistance of some patients has been reported to these types of therapy. The therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) introduced them as a novel therapeutic choice for the treatment of rheumatic diseases. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of intravenous administration of autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs on the immunological, clinical and para-clinical factors such as regulatory T cells, Th17 cells, CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, disease activity score 28-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR), visual analogue scale (VAS), ESR, C-reactive protein (CRP), rheumatoid factor (RF), and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies in patients with refractory RA. Nine refractory RA patients with no other rheumatologic disorders were included in this study. All patients received a single intravenous dose of 1 × 106 autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs/kg, and were followed up at 1, 6 and 12 months after injection of MSCs. We found a significant decreasing trend in Th17 percentage and geometric mean fluorescence intensity for IL-17A following injection of MSCs at 12 months compared to the time point zero. Furthermore, a significant increase in regulatory T cells percentage was observed at the end of the first month after the intervention. DAS28-ESR decreased significantly at 1 and 12 months after MSC therapy. VAS score showed a significant decreasing trend during the follow-up periods. No significant difference was found for serum CRP and anti-CCP levels after the intervention. In conclusion, our data indicated that clinical symptoms were significantly ameliorated following the intravenous injection of autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs to the patients with refractory RA.

D-Mannose Enhanced Immunomodulation of Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells via Inhibiting IL-6 Secretion. Stem Cells Int 2018; 2018:7168231.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament stem cell- (PDLSC-) mediated periodontal tissue regeneration has recently been proposed for the new therapeutic method to regenerate lost alveolar bone and periodontal ligament. It was reported that both autogenic and allogeneic PDLSCs could reconstruct damaged periodontal tissues but the regeneration effects were not consistent. The effective methods to improve the properties of PDLSCs should be further considered. In this study, we investigated if D-mannose could affect the immunomodulatory properties of hPDLSCs. After being pretreated with D-mannose, hPDLSCs could inhibit T cell proliferation and affect T cell differentiation into Treg cells. We found that less IL-6 could be detected in D-mannose-pretreated hPDLSCs. In the D-mannose pretreatment group, induced Treg cell number would decrease if increased IL-6 levels could be detected. Our data uncovered a previously unrecognized function of D-mannose to regulate the immunomodulatory function of PDLSCs and that IL-6 might play a key role in this process. The results provided a property method to improve PDLSC-based periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exist in almost all tissues with the capability to differentiate into several different cell types and hold great promise in tissue repairs in a cell replacement manner. The study of the bidirectional regulation between MSCs and immune response has ushered an age of rethinking of tissue regeneration in the process of stem cell-based tissue repairs. By sensing damaged signals, both endogenous and exogenous MSCs migrate to the damaged site where they involve in the reconstitution of the immune microenvironment and empower tissue stem/progenitor cells and other resident cells, whereby facilitate tissue repairs. This MSC-based therapeutic manner is conferred as cell empowerment. In this process, MSCs have been found to exert extensive immunosuppression on both innate and adaptive immune response, while such regulation needs to be licensed by inflammation. More importantly, the immunoregulation of MSCs is highly plastic, especially in the context of pathological microenvironment. Understanding the immunoregulatory properties of MSCs is necessary for appropriate application of MSCs. Here we review the current studies on the crosstalk of MSCs and immune response in disease pathogenesis and therapy.

Are We Right to Consider Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Be a New Perspective for Patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis? Arch Immunol Ther Exp (Warsz) 2017; 66:267-271.

Abstract
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common cause of chronic arthritis in childhood. Up to 50% of patients are resistant to standard therapy, which includes non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs and biologic therapies. Intra-articular injection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is proposed as a new approach to JIA treatment. MSCs can modulate inflammation via mechanisms of both adaptive and innate immune response. They are able to inhibit T and B cell proliferation, promote regulatory T cells, suppress the maturation of dendritic cells, stimulate macrophage differentiation into M2 phenotype and reduce effectiveness of natural killer cells. They also secrete plethora of soluble factors which influence joint inflammation. Recent clinical studies reviewed in the article provide promising results which may suggest including intra-articular injection of MSCs in therapy of patients with oligoarticular JIA.
