Abstract
Background Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are closely associated with the survival rate of transplanted fat in breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery. Nevertheless, the intrinsic mechanisms regulating ADSCs adipogenic differentiation remain ambiguous. The aim of our study was to explore the relevant genes and pathways to elucidate the potential mechanisms of adipogenic differentiation in ADSCs. Methods The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset GSE61302 was downloaded and analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Key genes and signaling pathways were obtained through Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional and enrichment analysis. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and hub gene analyses were performed with the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) database and Cytoscape software. Finally, the transcription levels of hub genes in the adipogenic differentiated group and undifferentiated group of ADSCs were compared via real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Results In total, 1,091 DEGs were identified through bioinformatics analysis of the adipogenic differentiated group and undifferentiated group. If was then found that the 10 downregulated key genes, CCNB1, NUSAP1, DLGAP5, TTK, CCNB2, KIF23, BUB1B, CDC20, CDCA8, and KIF11 may play important roles in the adipogenic differentiation of ADSCs. Subsequent in vitro experimental verification also revealed that the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of cyclin B1 in adipogenic differentiated cells and undifferentiated cells were significantly different at the early stage (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference at the late stage (P>0.05). Conclusions As a key gene, CCNB1 might be a potential biomarker in the adipogenic differentiation of ADSCs at the early stage.

Adipose-derived stem cells with miR-150-5p inhibition laden in hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate ceramic powders promote osteogenesis via regulating Notch3 and activating FAK/ERK and RhoA. Acta Biomater 2023; 155:644-653. [PMID: 36206975 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.09.070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Revised: 09/24/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are multipotent stromal cells and play huge role in forming and repairing bone tissues. Emerging evidence shows that MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in ADSCs differentiation. Here, we explored the role of miR-150-5p and its related mechanisms in ADSCs osteogenesis. Real-time PCR was used to determine miR-150-5p expression during ADSCs osteogenesis. miR-150-5p inhibitors, miR-150-5p ADV or short hairpin RNA (shRNA) of Notch3 were transfected to ADSCs for analyzing the effects on osteogenesis. The mixture of hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate (HA/TCP) ceramic powders and transfected ADSCs was implanted into BALB/C nude mice. Micro-CT and histological methods were performed to evaluate the new bone formation. Compared with negative control (NC) and miR-150-5p overexpression, inhibition of miR-150-5p increased ADSCs osteogenesis by regulating Notch3. MiR-150-5p overexpression decreased the expression of pFAK, pERK1/2, and RhoA, while these were up-regulated when miR-150-5p was inhibited, or notch3 was silenced. Furthermore, miR-150-5p inhibition partially reversed the suppression effect of notch3 knockdown on osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo. This study demonstrated the critical function of miR-150-5p during osteogenesis. The combination of ADSCs with miR-150-5p inhibition and HA/TCP might be a promising strategy for bone damage repair. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Osteoporosis is a common chronic metabolic bone disease in humans. Bone tissue engineering based on mesenchymal stem cells, biomaterials, and growth factors, provides a promising way to treat osteoporosis and bone defects. ADSCs commonly differentiate into adipose cells, they can also differentiate into osteogenic cell lineages. Nucleic acids and protein have usually been considered as regulators of ADSCs osteogenic differentiation. In the current study, we demonstrated the combination of ADSCs with miR-150-5p inhibition and hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate ceramic powders enhanced bone regeneration. Furthermore, miR-150-5p/Notch3 axis regulating osteogenesis via the FAK/ERK1/2 and RhoA pathway was assessed. The current study showed the application of ADSCs in bone regeneration might be a promising strategy for osteoporosis and bone damage repairing.

Regen Ther 2022; 21:322-330. [PMID: 36110972 PMCID: PMC9463178 DOI: 10.1016/j.reth.2022.07.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 05/28/2022] [Accepted: 07/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Partial necrosis of skin flaps is still a substantial problem in plastic and reconstructive surgery. In this study, the role of miR-590-3p in adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) transplantation in improving the survival of skin flap in a mouse model was delved into. Method An abdominal perforator flap model was established in mice. The histopathological examination of mice skin tissues after ADSCs transplantation was implemented using Hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) or immunofluorescence (IF) staining was utilized to assess the PCNA or CD31 levels. The concentrations of VEGFA in the culture medium were quantified using a VEGFA ELISA kit. Result The damage of tissue in the skin flap was dramatically relieved by ADSCs transplantation. MiR-590-3p overexpression notably suppressed, while miR-590-3p knockdown facilitated skin flap survival by regulating PCNA, VCAM-1, and VEGFA levels. MiR-590-3p targeted VEGFA to regulate its expression. The knockdown of VEGFA significantly inhibited, while overexpression of VEGFA notably promoted the survival of skin flap. Conclusion ADSCs transplantation promotes skin flap survival by boosting angiogenesis. The miR-590-3p/VEGFA axis modulates skin flap angiogenesis and survival in ADSCs. These results reveal that interfering with miR-590-3p in ADSCs could potentially be a novel therapeutic target for the improvement of skin flap survival. ADSCs transplantation improve perforator flap survival. Agomir-590-3p transfected ADSCs inhibited perforator flap survival. MiR-590-3p targeted VEGFA 3′UTR to regulate its expression. The miR-590-3p/VEGFA axis in ADSCs modulates skin flap angiogenesis.

Bone Rep 2022; 17:101627. [PMID: 36304905 PMCID: PMC9593857 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2022.101627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2022] [Revised: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Fracture healing is a complex process with multiple overlapping metabolic and differentiation phases. Small non-coding RNAs are involved in the regulation of fracture healing and their presence in circulation is under current interest due to their obvious value as potential biomarkers. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have been characterized to some extent but the current knowledge on tRNA-derived small RNA fragments (tsRNAs) is relatively scarce, especially in circulation. In this study, the spectrum of circulating miRNAs and tsRNAs was analysed by next generation sequencing to show their differential expression during fracture healing in vivo. Analysed tsRNA fragments included stress-induced translation interfering tRNA fragments (tiRNAs or tRNA halves) and internal tRNA fragments (i-tRF), within the size range of 28–36 bp. To unveil the expression of these non-coding RNAs, genome-wide analysis was performed on two months old C57BL/6 mice on days 1, 5, 7, 10, and 14 (D1, D5, D7, D10, and D14) after a closed tibial fracture. Valine isoacceptor tRNA-derived Val-AAC 5′end and Val-CAC 5′end fragments were the major types of 5′end tiRNAs in circulation, comprising about 65 % of the total counts. Their expression was not affected by fracture. After a fracture, the levels of two 5′end tiRNAs Lys-TTT 5′ and Lys-CTT 5′ were decreased and His-GTG 5′ was increased through D1-D14. The level of miR-451a was decreased on the first post-fracture day (D1), whereas miR-328-3p, miR-133a-3p, miR-375-3p, miR-423-5p, and miR-150-5p were increased post-fracture. These data provide evidence on how fracture healing could provoke systemic metabolic effects and further pinpoint the potential of small non-coding RNAs as biomarkers for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Intramuscular fat contributes to the improvement of meat quality of goats. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to regulate adipocyte differentiation and maturation. The aim of our study was to clarify whether miR-10a-5p regulates goat intramuscular preadipocyte (GIPC) differentiation and its direct downstream signaling pathway. GIPCs were isolated from longissimus dorsi, whose miR-10a-5p level was measured at different time point of differentiation induction. Adipogenic differentiation of the GIPCs was evaluated by Oil Red O and BODIPY staining, and the expression changes of adipogenic genes like ACC, ATGL, CEBPβ, PPARγ, etc. Related mechanisms were verified by qPCR, a bioinformatic analysis, a dual-luciferase reporter assay, overexpression, and siRNA transfection. Oil Red O and BODIPY staining both with adipogenic gene detection showed that miR-10a-5p suppressed the accumulation of lipid droplets in GIPCs and inhibited its differentiation. The dual-luciferase reporter assay experiment revealed that miR-10a-5p regulates GIPC differentiation by directly binding to KLF8 3’UTR to regulate its expression. Thus, the results indicated that miR-10a-5p inhibits GIPC differentiation by targeting KLF8 and supply a new target for fat deposition and meat quality improvement.

Abstract
EndMT is an active contributor to atherosclerosis pathology, and lncRNAs is widely involved in the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of ZFAS1 in EndMT of atherosclerosis. Here, the ApoE-/- mice were feed with high-fat diet to establish the atherosclerosis model, and HUVECs was stimulated with ox-LDL to induce EndMT. RT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression, respectively. The expression of EndMT markers were detected by immune-fluorescence. The relationships among ZFAS1, miR-150-5p and Notch3 were evaluated by luciferase reporter assay. The role of ZFAS1 in EndMT and its dependence on miR-150-5p/Notch3 axis was further detected by knocking down or over-expressing ZFAS1. We found that ZFAS1 and Notch3 were upregulated while miR-150-5p was downregulated in atherosclerosis mice and ox-LDL-treated HUVECs. The expression of CD31 and vWF were significant decreased, while the α-SMA and vimentin were significant increased in ox-LDL-treated HUVECs, and overexpression of ZFAS1 enhanced the effect of ox-LDL on HUVECs. Further, ZFAS1 functions as a ceRNA to increase Notch3 expression through sponging miR-150-5p, and miR-150-5p mimic or si-Notch3 could reverse LV-ZFAS1-mediated EndMT. In summary, lncRNA ZFAS1 promotes ox-LDL induced HUVECs EndMT through regulating miR-150-5p/Notch3 axis.

Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease which mainly affects the spine, sacroiliac joint and peripheral joints. To date, the exact causes and pathogenesis of AS still remain unknown. It is considered that the pathogenesis of AS is associated with genetic, infection, environment, immunity and other factors. Among them, the role of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of AS has been studied most deeply. However, over the past few years, the function of environmental predisposition and epigenetic modification in the pathogenesis of AS has received extensive attention. This paper summarizes the recent progress in the epigenetics of AS, including abnormal epigenetic modifications at AS-associated genomic loci, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, microRNA, and so on. In summary, the findings of this review attempt to explain the role of epigenetic modification in the occurrence and development of AS. Nevertheless, there are still unknown and complicated aspects worth exploring to deepen our understanding of the pathogenesis of AS.

Abstract
While several microRNAs (miRNAs) that regulate the endotheliogenesis and further promote angiogenesis have been identified in various cancers, the identification of miRNAs that can drive the differentiation of adipose derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) into the endothelial lineage has been largely unexplored. In this study, CD34+ ASCs sorted using magnetic bead separation were induced to differentiate along the endothelial pathway. miRNA sequencing of ASCs at day 3, 9, and 14 of endothelial differentiation was performed on Ion Proton sequencing system. The data obtained by this high-throughput method were aligned to the human genome HG38, and the differentially expressed miRNAs during endothelial differentiation at various time points (day 3, 9, and 14) were identified. The gene targets of the identified miRNAs were obtained through miRWalk database. The network-pathway analysis of miRNAs and their targets was performed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) bioinformatic tools to determine the potential candidate miRNAs that promote endothelial differentiation. Based on these analyses, six upregulated miRNAs (miR-181a-5p, miR-330-5p, miR-335-3p, miR-15b-5p, miR-99a-5p, and miR-199a-5p) and six downregulated miRNAs (miR-145-5p, miR-155-5p, miR-193a-3p, miR-125a-5p, miR-221-5p, and miR-222-3p) were chosen for further studies. In vitro evaluation of these miRNAs to induce endothelial differentiation when transfected into CD34+ sorted ASCs was studied using Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) staining and quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Our results suggest that miRNAs: 335-5p, 330-5p, 181a-5p and anti-miRNAs: 125a-5p, 145-5p can likely induce endothelial differentiation in CD34+ sorted ASCs. Further studies are clearly required to elucidate the specific mechanisms on how miRNAs or anti-miRNAs identified through bioinformatics approach can induce the endotheliogenesis in ASCs.

Abstract
Autologous fat transplantation is widely regarded as an increasingly popular method for augmentation or reshaping applications in soft tissue defects. Although the fat transplantation is of simple applicability, low donor site morbidity and excellent biocompatibility, the clinical unpredictability and high resorption rates of the fat grafts remain an inevitable problem. In the sites of fat transplantation, the most essential components are the adipocyte and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). The survival of adipocytes is the direct factor determining fat retention. The efficacy of fat transplantation is reduced by fat absorption and fibrosis due to the inadequate blood flow, adipocyte apoptosis and fat necrosis. ADSCs, a heterogeneous mixture of cells in adipose tissue, are closely related to tissue survival. ADSCs exhibit the ability of multilineage differentiation and remarkable paracrine activity, which is crucial for graft survival. This article will review the recent existing research on the mechanisms of adipocytes and ADSCs in fat transplantation, especially including adipocyte apoptosis, mature adipocyte dedifferentiation, adipocyte browning, ADSCs adipogenic differentiation and ADSCs angiogenesis. The in-depth understanding of the survival mechanism will be extremely valuable for achieving the desired filling effects.

[PMID: 33061363 PMCID: PMC7519865 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s269069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2020] [Accepted: 08/19/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) are a heterogeneous group of vesicles that consist of proteins, lipids and miRNA molecules derived from the cell of origin. Although xenogeneic sEV have been applied for soft tissue regeneration successfully, the regeneration effect of allogeneic and xenogeneic sEV has not been compared systematically. Methods Our previous study has shown that sEV derived from rat adipose tissue successfully induced neoadipose regeneration. In this study, sEV were isolated from rat adipose tissue (r-sEV-AT) and porcine adipose tissue (p-sEV-AT), the morphology, size distribution and marker proteins expression of r-sEV-AT and p-sEV-AT were characterized. Besides, the sEV/AT ratio was evaluated and compared between r-sEV-AT and p-sEV-AT. Rat adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (rASCs) and rat aorta endothelial cells (rECs) were adopted to test the cellular response to allogeneic and xenogeneic sEV-AT. The effects of allogeneic and xenogeneic sEV-AT on host cells migration and neoadipose formation were evaluated in a subcutaneous custom-designed model. A full-thickness skin wound healing model was used to further compare the ability of allogeneic and xenogeneic sEV-AT in inducing complex soft tissue regeneration. Results p-sEV-AT showed similar morphology and size distribution to r-sEV-AT. Marker proteins of sEV were detected in both r-sEV-AT and p-sEV-AT. The sEV/AT ratio of porcine was slightly higher than that of rat. The effects of r-sEV-AT and p-sEV-AT on the differentiation of rASCs and rECs showed no significant difference. When allogeneic and xenogeneic sEV-AT were subcutaneously implanted into the back of SD rats, the host cells chemotactic infiltration was observed in 1 week and neoadipose tissue formation was induced in 8 weeks; no significant difference was observed between allogeneic and xenogeneic sEV-AT. For complex soft tissue regeneration, both allogeneic and xenogeneic sEV-AT significantly promoted wound re-epithelialization, granulation tissue formation and hair follicle regeneration and then accelerated skin wound healing. Conclusion Our results demonstrated that sEV derived from the same tissues of different species might be loaded with similar therapeutic substance benefitting tissue repair and regeneration, and paved the way for future research aimed at xenogeneic sEV application.
