Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated potential in treating livestock diseases that are unresponsive to conventional therapies. MSCs derived from goats, a valuable model for studying orthopaedic disorders in humans, offer insights into bone formation and regeneration. Adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ADSCs) are easily accessible and have a high capacity for expansion. Although the choice of culture media significantly influences the biological properties of MSCs, the optimal media for goat ADSCs (gADSCs) remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the effects of four commonly used culture media on gADSCs' culture characteristics, stem cell-specific immunophenotype, and differentiation. Results showed that MEM, DMEM/F12, and DMEM-LG were superior in maintaining cell morphology and culture parameters of gADSCs, such as cell adherence, metabolic activity, colony-forming potential, and population doubling. Conversely, DMEM-HG exhibited poor performance across all evaluated parameters. The gADSCs cultured in DMEM/F12 showed enhanced early proliferation and lower apoptosis. The cell surface marker distribution exhibited superior characteristics in gADSCs cultured in MEM and DMEM/F12. In contrast, the distribution was inferior in gADSCs cultured in DMEM-LG. DMEM/F12 and DMEM-LG culture media demonstrated a significantly higher potential for chondrogenic differentiation and DMEM-LG for osteogenic differentiation. In conclusion, DMEM/F12 is a suitable culture medium for propagating gADSCs as it effectively maintains cell morphology, growth parameters, proliferation and lower apoptosis while exhibiting desirable expression patterns of MSC-specific markers. These findings contribute to optimising culture conditions for gADSCs, enhancing their potential applications in disease treatment and regenerative medicine.

Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 168:115759. [PMID: 37865993 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation offers significant potential for the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complications. However, hyperglycemic conditions can induce senescence and dysfunction in both transplanted and resident MSCs, thereby limiting their therapeutic potential. Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are key contributors to this process in MSCs exposed to hyperglycemia. As such, strategies aimed at mitigating mitochondrial dysfunction could enhance the therapeutic efficacy of MSC transplantation in DM. In this review, we provide an updated overview of how mitochondrial dysfunction mediates MSC senescence. We present experimental evidence for the molecular mechanisms behind high glucose-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in MSCs, which include impairment of mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial calcium regulation, the mitochondrial antioxidant system, mitochondrial fusion-fission dynamics, mitophagy, and intercellular mitochondrial transfer. Furthermore, we propose potential pharmacological candidates that could improve the efficacy of MSC transplantation by enhancing mitochondrial function in patients with DM and related complications.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common metabolic diseases with complications including diabetic cardiomyopathy and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Recently, a growing body of research has revealed that the complex interplay between epigenetic changes and the environmental factors may significantly contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular complications secondary to diabetes. Methylation modifications, including DNA methylation and histone methylation among others, are important in developing diabetic cardiomyopathy. Here we summarized the literatures of studies focusing on the role of DNA methylation, and histone modifications in microvascular complications of diabetes and discussed the mechanism underlying these disorders, to provide the guidance for future research toward an integrated pathophysiology and novel therapeutic strategies to treat or prevent this frequent pathological condition.

Abstract
Different cellular mechanisms contribute to osteocyte development. And while critical roles for members of the zinc finger protein SNAI family (SNAIs) have been discussed in cancer-related models, there are few reviews summarizing their importance for chondrocyte-to-osteocyte development. To help fill this gap, we review the roles of SNAIs in the development of mature osteocytes from chondrocytes, including the regulation of chondro- and osteogenesis through different signaling pathways and in programmed cell death. We also discuss how epigenetic factors-including DNA methylation, histone methylation and acetylation, and noncoding RNAs-contribute differently to both chondrocyte and osteocyte development. To better grasp the important roles of SNAIs in bone development, we also review genotype-phenotype correlations in different animal models. We end with comments about the possible importance of the SNAI family in cartilage/bone development and the potential applications for therapeutic goals.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) dysfunction is a serious complication in ageing and age-related inflammatory diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Inflammation and oxidative stress-induced cellular senescence alter the immunomodulatory ability of MSCs and hamper their pro-regenerative function, which in turn leads to an increase in disease severity, maladaptive tissue damage and the development of comorbidities. Targeting stem/progenitor cells to restore their function and/or protect them against impairment could thus improve healing outcomes and significantly enhance the quality of life for diabetic patients. This review discusses the dysregulation of MSCs' immunomodulatory capacity in the context of diabetes mellitus and focuses on intervention strategies aimed at MSC rejuvenation. Research pertaining to the potential therapeutic use of either pharmacological agents (NFкB antagonists), natural products (phytomedicine) or biological agents (exosomes, probiotics) to improve MSC function is discussed and an overview of the most pertinent methodological considerations given. Based on in vitro studies, numerous anti-inflammatory agents, antioxidants and biological agents show tremendous potential to revitalise MSCs. An integrated systems approach and a thorough understanding of complete disease pathology are however required to identify feasible candidates for in vivo targeting of MSCs.

Abstract
LINC00355 has been reported aberrantly over-expressed and associated with poor prognosis in various types of cancer. However, reports regarding the effect of LINC00355 on lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are rare. This study aimed to explore the function of LINC00355 in the development and progression of lung SCC and reveal the underlying mechanism. The expression and subcellular location of LINC00355 were determined by qRT-PCR and RNA-FISH, respectively. The lung SCC cell growth was analyzed by CCK-8 assay, transwell invasion, wound healing, colony formation, and flow cytometry assays. Reactive oxygen species level was evaluated by DCFH-DA probes. Bioinformatics online websites, luciferase reporter assay, RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP), and RNA pull-down assays were utilized to investigate the interaction among LINC00355, miR-466, and Ly-1 antibody reactive clone (LYAR). The results showed that LINC00355 was upregulated in lung SCC and was positively associated with poor overall survival in lung SCC patients. LINC00355 was mainly located in the cytoplasm of SCC cells. Additionally, LINC0035 functioned as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to target miR-466, and LYAR was identified as a direct target of miR-466. LINC00355 expression negatively correlated with miR-466 level, and positively correlated with LYAR level. Mechanistically, knockdown of LINC00355 inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion, promoted cell apoptosis in vitro, and suppressed tumor growth in vivo through targeting miR-466, and thus down-regulated LYAR expression. These findings provide a new sight for understanding the molecular mechanism of lung SCC and indicate that LINC00355 may serve as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment of lung SCC.

Abstract
Background Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a common complication of pregnancy. The impact of pregnancy complications on placental function suggests that extraembryonic stem cells in the placenta may also be affected during pregnancy. Neonatal tissue-derived stem cells, with the advantages of their differentiation capacity and non-invasive isolation processes, have been proposed as a promising therapeutic avenue for GDM management through potential cell therapy approaches. However, the influence of GDM on autologous stem cells remains unclear. Thus, studies that provide comprehensive understanding of stem cells isolated from women with GDM are essential to guide future clinical applications. Methods Human chorionic membrane-derived stem cells (CMSCs) were isolated from placentas of healthy and GDM pregnancies. Transcriptional profiling was performed by DNA microarray, and differentially regulated genes between GDM- and Healthy-CMSCs were used to analyse molecular functions, differentiation, and pathway enrichment. Altered genes and biological functions were validated via real-time PCR and in vitro assays. Results GDM-CMSCs displayed, vs. Healthy-CMSCs, 162 upregulated genes associated with increased migration ability, epithelial development, and growth factor-associated signal transduction while the 269 downregulated genes were strongly linked to angiogenesis and cellular metabolic processes. Notably, significantly reduced expression of detoxification enzymes belonging to the aldehyde dehydrogenase gene families (ALDH1A1/1A2, ALDH2, ALDH3) accounted for downregulation across several metabolic pathways. ALDH activity and inhibitor assays indicated that reduced gene expression of ALDHs affected ALDH enzymatic functions and resulted in oxidative stress dysregulation in GDM-CMSCs. Conclusion Our combined transcriptional analysis and in vitro functional characterisation have provided novel insights into fundamental biological differences in GDM- and Healthy-CMSCs. Enhanced mobility of GDM-CMSCs may promote MSC migration toward injured sites; however, impaired cellular metabolic activity may negatively affect any perceived benefit.

Abstract
Background: Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) from the decidua basalis (DBMSCs) of the human placenta have important functions that make them potential candidates for cellular therapy. Previously, we showed that DBMSC functions do not change significantly in a high oxidative stress environment, which was induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and immune cells. Here, we studied the consequences of glucose, another oxidative stress inducer, on the phenotypic and functional changes in DBMSCs. Methods: DBMSCs were exposed to a high level of glucose, and its effect on DBMSC phenotypic and functional properties was determined. DBMSC expression of oxidative stress and immune molecules after exposure to glucose were also identified. Results: Conditioning of DBMSCs with glucose improved their adhesion and invasion. Glucose also increased DBMSC expression of genes with survival, proliferation, migration, invasion, anti-inflammatory, anti-chemoattractant and antimicrobial properties. In addition, DBMSC expression of B7H4, an inhibitor of T cell proliferation was also enhanced by glucose. Interestingly, glucose modulated DBMSC expression of genes involved in insulin secretion and prevention of diabetes. Conclusion: These data show the potentially beneficial effects of glucose on DBMSC functions. Preconditioning of DBMSCs with glucose may therefore be a rational strategy for increasing their therapeutic potential by enhancing their engraftment efficiency. In addition, glucose may program DBMSCs into insulin producing cells with ability to counteract inflammation and infection associated with diabetes. However, future in vitro and in vivo studies are essential to investigate the findings of this study further.

Abstract
The N-terminal truncated carboxypeptidase E (CPEΔN) protein, an alternative splicing product of the carboxypeptidase E gene, has recently been recognized as an independent predictor for the recurrence and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma. In this study, we showed that CPEΔN may accelerate lung cancer invasion via an E-cadherin-dependent mechanism. In vitro experiments and in vivo bioluminescence imaging assay revealed CPEΔN promoted the mobility and invasion of human lung cancer cells by suppressing endogenous expression of E-cadherin, a critical regulator for epithelial tissue homeostasis. Further mechanistic analyses revealed that CPEΔN directly interacted with and stabilized the Snail/HDAC1/HDAC3 complex within the promoter region of the E-cadherin-encoding CDH1 gene. CPEΔN overexpression led to a reduction of histone H3K9 acetylation and an increase of H3K9 and H3K27 trimethylation in the CHD1 gene promoter and ultimately inhibited E-cadherin transcription. In addition, correlations among CPEΔN, E-cadherin expression and tumor progression in 195 cases of lung adenocarcinoma patients were analyzed. Higher nuclear expression of CPEΔN was detected in patients with advanced stage of lung adenocarcinoma. Nuclear expression of CPEΔN was negatively correlated with the cell membrane expression of E-cadherin. Collectively, our findings illustrated that CPEΔN was involved in the transcriptional regulation of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related gene CDH1 and provide novel insights into CPEΔN-associated lung cancer metastasis.

Shojaee A, Parham A, Ejeian F, Nasr Esfahani MH. Equine adipose mesenchymal stem cells (eq-ASCs) appear to have higher potential for migration and musculoskeletal differentiation. Res Vet Sci 2019; 125:235-243. [PMID: 31310927 DOI: 10.1016/j.rvsc.2019.06.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2018] [Revised: 05/14/2019] [Accepted: 06/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Equine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (eq-ASCs) possess excellent regeneration potential especially for treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Besides their common characteristics, MSCs harvested from different species reveal some species-specific and donor-dependent behaviors. Hence, the molecular analysis of MSCs may shed more light on their future clinical application of these cells. This study aimed to investigate some behavioral aspects of eq-ASCs in vitro which may influence the efficacy of stem cell therapy. For this purpose, MSCs of a donor horse were isolated, characterized and expanded under normal culture conditions. During continuous culture condition, eq-ASCs were started to formed aggregated structures that was accompanied with the up-regulation of migratory related genes including transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) and its receptor 3 (TGFBR3), and snail family transcriptional repressor 1 (SNAI1), E-cadherin (CDH1) and β-catenin (CTNNB1). Moreover, the expression of a musculoskeletal progenitor marker, scleraxis bHLH transcription factor (SCX), was also increased after 3 days. In order to clarify the impact of TGFB signaling pathway on cultured cells, gain- and loss-of-function treatment by TGFB3 and SB431542 (TGFB inhibitor) were performed, respectively. We found that TGFB3 treatment exaggerated the aggregate formation effects, in some extend via induction of cytoskeletal actin rearrangement, while inhibition of TGFB signaling pathway by SB431542 reversed this phenomenon. Overall, our findings support the fact that eq-ASCs have an inherent capacity for migration, which was enhanced by TGFB3 treatment and, this ability may play crucial role in cell motility and wound healing of transplanted cells.

Siadat AH, Isseroff RR. Prolotherapy: Potential for the Treatment of Chronic Wounds? Adv Wound Care (New Rochelle) 2019; 8:160-167. [PMID: 31646060 DOI: 10.1089/wound.2018.0866] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2018] [Accepted: 11/02/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Significance: Chronic skin ulcers, including venous, diabetic, and pressure ulcers, constitute a major health care burden, affecting 2-6 million people in the United States alone, with projected increases in incidence owing to the aging population and rising epidemic of diabetes. The ulcers are often accompanied by pain. Standard of care fails to heal ∼50% of diabetic foot ulcers and 25% of venous leg ulcers. Even advanced therapies do not heal >60%. Thus there is an unmet need for novel therapies that promote healing and also address the concomitant pain issue. Recent Advances: Prolotherapy involves injection of small amounts of an irritant material to the site of degenerated or painful joints, ligaments, and tendons. Multiple irritants are reported to be efficacious, but the focus here is on dextrose prolotherapy. In vitro and in vivo studies support translation to clinical use. Concentrations as low as 5% dextrose have resulted in production of growth factors that have critical roles in repair. Numerous clinical trials report pro-reparative effects of dextrose prolotherapy in joint diseases, tendon, and ligament damage, and for painful musculoskeletal issues. However, most of the studies have limitations that result in low-quality evidence. Critical Issues: The preclinical data support a role for dextrose prolotherapy in promoting tissue repair that is required for healing chronic wounds and ameliorating the associated pain. Critical issues include provision of evidence of efficacy in human chronic wounds. Another potential obstacle is limitation of reimbursement by third-party payers for a therapy with as yet limited evidence. Future Directions: Preclinical studies in models of chronic wounds would support clinical translation. As dextrose prolotherapy has some mechanistic similarities to already approved honey therapies, it may have a shortened pathway for clinical translation. The gold standard for widespread adoption would be a well-designed clinical trial.

Int J Med Sci 2019; 16:212-220.

Abstract
MicroRNA-29a is a key regulon that regulates hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and mitigates liver fibrosis. However, the mechanism by which it does so remains largely undefined. The inhibition of bromodomain-4 protein (BRD4) represents a novel therapeutic target in hepatic fibrosis. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the miR-29a regulation of BRD4 signaling in a bile duct-ligation (BDL) animal model with regard to developing cholestatic liver fibrosis. Hepatic tissue in miR-29a transgenic mice (miR-29aTg mice) displayed weak fibrotic matrix, as shown by α-smooth muscle actin staining within affected tissues compared to wild-type mice. miR-29a overexpression reduced the BDL exaggeration of BRD4 and SNAI1 expression. Increased miR-29a signaling caused the downregulation of EZH2, MeCP2, and SNAI1, as well as the upregulation of PPAR-γ expression, in primary HSCs. We further demonstrated that the administration of JQ1, a BRD4 inhibitor, could inhibit BRD4, C-MYC, EZH2, and SNAI1 expression, while both JQ1 and a miR-29a mimic could inhibit the migration and proliferation of HSCs. In short, our research demonstrates that miR-29a negatively regulates HSC activation by inhibiting BRD4 and EZH2 function, thus making it a promising target for the pharmacologic treatment of hepatic fibrosis.
