Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis is a prevalent joint disease affecting both humans and animals. It is characterized by articular cartilage degeneration and joint surface eburnation. Currently, no effective pharmacological treatment is available to restore the original function and structure of defective cartilage. OBJECTIVE This study explores the potential of stem cell-based therapy in treating joint diseases involving cartilage degeneration, offering a promising avenue for future research and treatment. The primary aim was to compare the characteristics and, more importantly, the chondrogenic differentiation potential of human and rat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs). METHODS Rat adipose tissue was collected from Sprague Dawley rats, while human adipose tissue was obtained in the form of lipoaspirate. The mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were then harvested using collagenase enzyme and subcultured. We meticulously evaluated and compared the cell morphology, percentage of cell viability, population doubling time, metabolic proliferation, and chondrogenic differentiation potential of MSCs harvested from both sources. Chondrogenic differentiation was induced at passage 3 using the 3D pellet culture method and assessed through histological and molecular analysis. RESULTS The findings revealed that human and rat AD-MSCs were phenotypically identical, and an insignificant difference was found in cell morphology, percentage of cell viability, metabolic proliferation, and population doubling time. However, the chondrogenic differentiation potential of human AD-MSCs was evaluated as significantly higher than that of rat AD-MSCs. CONCLUSION The current study suggests that research regarding chondrogenic differentiation of rat AD-MSCs can be effectively translated to humans. This discovery is a significant contribution to the field of regenerative medicine and has the potential to advance our understanding of stem cell-based therapy for joint diseases.

Spheroid trilineage differentiation model of primary mesenchymal stem/stromal cells under hypoxia and serum-free culture conditions. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1444363. [PMID: 39144480 PMCID: PMC11321963 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1444363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Due to their unique properties, human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) possess tremendous potential in regenerative medicine, particularly in cell-based therapies where the multipotency and immunomodulatory characteristics of MSCs can be leveraged to address a variety of disease states. Although MSC-based cell therapeutics have emerged as one of the most promising medical treatments, the clinical translation is hampered by the variability of MSC-based cellular products caused by tissue source-specific differences and the lack of physiological cell culture approaches that closely mimic the human cellular microenvironment. In this study, a model for trilineage differentiation of primary adipose-, bone marrow-, and umbilical cord-derived MSCs into adipocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts was established and characterized. Differentiation was performed in spheroid culture, using hypoxic conditions and serum-free and antibiotics-free medium. This platform was characterized for spheroid diameter and trilineage differentiation capacity reflecting functionality of differentiated cells, as indicated by lineage-specific extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation and expression of distinct secreted markers. The presented model shows spheroid growth during the course of differentiation and successfully supports trilineage differentiation for MSCs from almost all tissue sources except for osteogenesis of umbilical cord-derived MSCs. These findings indicate that this platform provides a suitable and favorable environment for trilineage differentiation of MSCs from various tissue sources. Therefore, it poses a promising model to generate highly relevant biological data urgently required for clinical translation and therefore might be used in the future to generate in vitro microtissues, building blocks for tissue engineering or as disease models.

Abstract
Bone tissue injuries within oral and dental contexts often present considerable challenges because traditional treatments may not be able to fully restore lost or damaged bone tissue. Novel approaches involving stem cells and targeted 3D scaffolds have been investigated in the search for workable solutions. The use of scaffolds in stem cell-assisted bone regeneration is a crucial component of tissue engineering techniques designed to overcome the drawbacks of traditional bone grafts. This study provides a detailed review of scaffold applications for bone regeneration with stem cells in dentistry. This review focuses on scaffolds and stem cells while covering a broad range of studies explaining bone regeneration in dentistry through the presentation of studies conducted in this field. The role of different stem cells in regenerative medicine is covered in great detail in the reviewed literature. These studies have addressed a wide range of subjects, including the effects of platelet concentrates during dental surgery or specific combinations, such as human dental pulp stem cells with scaffolds for animal model bone regeneration, to promote bone regeneration in animal models. Noting developments, research works consider methods to improve vascularization and explore the use of 3D-printed scaffolds, secretome applications, mesenchymal stem cells, and biomaterials for oral bone tissue regeneration. This thorough assessment outlines possible developments within these crucial regenerative dentistry cycles and provides insights and suggestions for additional study. Furthermore, alternative creative methods for regenerating bone tissue include biophysical stimuli, mechanical stimulation, magnetic field therapy, laser therapy, nutritional supplements and diet, gene therapy, and biomimetic materials. These innovative approaches offer promising avenues for future research and development in the field of bone tissue regeneration in dentistry.

Ultrasound-Driven Healing: Unleashing the Potential of Chondrocyte-Derived Extracellular Vesicles for Chondrogenesis in Adipose-Derived Stem Cells. Biomedicines 2023; 11:2836. [PMID: 37893208 PMCID: PMC10604747 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11102836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Repairing cartilage defects represents a significant clinical challenge. While adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC)-based strategies hold promise for cartilage regeneration, their inherent chondrogenic potential is limited. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from chondrocytes (CC-EVs) have shown potential in enhancing chondrogenesis, but their role in promoting chondrogenic differentiation of ADSCs remains poorly understood. Moreover, the clinical application of EVs faces limitations due to insufficient quantities for in vivo use, necessitating the development of effective methods for extracting significant amounts of CC-EVs. Our previous study demonstrated that low-intensity ultrasound (LIUS) stimulation enhances EV secretion from mesenchymal stem cells. Here, we identified a specific LIUS parameter for chondrocytes that increased EV secretion by 16-fold. CC-EVs were found to enhance cell activity, proliferation, migration, and 21-day chondrogenic differentiation of ADSCs in vitro, while EVs secreted by chondrocytes following LIUS stimulation (US-CC-EVs) exhibited superior efficacy. miRNA-seq revealed that US-CC-EVs were enriched in cartilage-regeneration-related miRNAs, contributing to chondrogenesis in various biological processes. In conclusion, we found that CC-EVs can enhance the chondrogenesis of ADSCs in vitro. In addition, our study introduces ultrasound-driven healing as an innovative method to enhance the quantity and quality of CC-EVs, meeting clinical demand and addressing the limited chondrogenic potential of ADSCs. The ultrasound-driven healing unleashes the potential of CC-EVs for chondrogenesis possibly through the enrichment of cartilage-regeneration-associated miRNAs in EVs, suggesting their potential role in cartilage reconstruction. These findings hold promise for advancing cartilage regeneration strategies and may pave the way for novel therapeutic interventions in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Articular cartilage defects commonly result from trauma and are associated with significant morbidity. Since cartilage is an avascular, aneural, and alymphatic tissue with a poor intrinsic healing ability, the regeneration of functional hyaline cartilage remains a difficult clinical problem. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells with multilineage differentiation potential, including the ability to differentiate into chondrocytes. Due to their availability and ease of ex vivo expansion, clinicians are increasingly applying MSCs in the treatment of cartilage lesions. However, despite encouraging pre-clinical and clinical data, inconsistencies in MSC proliferative and chondrogenic potential depending on donor, tissue source, cell subset, culture conditions, and handling techniques remain a key barrier to widespread clinical application of MSC therapy in cartilage regeneration. In this review, we highlight the strategies to manage the heterogeneity of MSCs ex vivo for more effective cartilage repair, including reducing the MSC culture expansion period, and selecting MSCs with higher chondrogenic potential through specific genetic markers, surface markers, and biophysical attributes. The accomplishment of a less heterogeneous population of culture-expanded MSCs may improve the scalability, reproducibility, and standardisation of MSC therapy for clinical application in cartilage regeneration.

Abstract
Tendon is composed of dense fibrous connective tissues, connecting muscle at the myotendinous junction (MTJ) to bone at the enthesis and allowing mechanical force to transmit from muscle to bone. Tendon diseases occur at different zones of the tendon, including enthesis, MTJ and midsubstance of the tendon, due to a variety of environmental and genetic factors which consequently result in different frequencies and recovery rates. Self-healing properties of tendons are limited, and cell therapeutic approaches in which injured tendon tissues are renewed by cell replenishment are highly sought after. Homologous use of individual’s tendon-derived cells, predominantly differentiated tenocytes and tendon-derived stem cells, is emerging as a treatment for tendinopathy through achieving minimal cell manipulation for clinical use. This is the first review summarizing the progress of tendon-derived cell therapy in clinical use and its challenges due to the structural complexity of tendons, heterogeneous composition of extracellular cell matrix and cells and unsuitable cell sources. Further to that, novel future perspectives to improve therapeutic effect in tendon-derived cell therapy based on current basic knowledge are discussed.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) presents a major clinical challenge to rheumatologists and orthopedists due to the lack of available drugs reducing structural degradation. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may represent new therapeutic approaches in cartilage regeneration. In this review, we highlight the latest knowledge on the biological properties of MSC, such as their chondrogenic and immunomodulatory potential, and we give a brief overview of the effects of MSCs in preclinical and clinical studies of OA treatment and also compare different MSC sources, with the adipose tissue-derived MSCs being promising. Then, we focus on their structural benefit in treating OA and summarize the current evidence for the assessment of cartilage in OA according to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and second-look arthroscopy after MSC therapy. Finally, this review provides a brief perspective on enhancing the activity of MSCs.

Abstract
Chondral defects are frequent and important causes of pain and disability. Cartilage has limited self-repair and regeneration capacity. The ideal approach for articular cartilage defects is the regeneration of hyaline cartilage with sustainable symptom-free constructs. Tissue engineering provides new strategies for the regeneration of functional cartilage tissue through optimized scaffolds with architectural, mechanical, and biochemical properties similar to the native cartilage tissue. In this review, the basic science of cartilage structure, interactions between proteins, stem cells, as well as biomaterials, scaffold characteristics and fabrication methods, as well as current and potential therapies in regenerative medicine will be discussed mostly from a biochemical point of view. Furthermore, the recent trends in scaffold-based therapies and supplementary factors in cartilage tissue engineering will be considered.

Abstract
The use of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for tissue engineering of hyaline cartilage is a topical area of regenerative medicine that has already entered clinical practice. The key stage of this procedure is to create conditions for chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs, increase the synthesis of hyaline cartilage extracellular matrix proteins by these cells and activate their proliferation. The first such works consisted in the indirect modification of cells, namely, in changing the conditions in which they are located, including microfracturing of the subchondral bone and the use of 3D biodegradable scaffolds. The most effective methods for modifying the cell culture of MSCs are protein and physical, which have already been partially introduced into clinical practice. Genetic methods for modifying MSCs, despite their effectiveness, have significant limitations. Techniques have not yet been developed that allow studying the effectiveness of their application even in limited groups of patients. The use of MSC modification methods allows precise regulation of cell culture proliferation, and in combination with the use of a 3D biodegradable scaffold, it allows obtaining a hyaline-like regenerate in the damaged area. This review is devoted to the consideration and comparison of various methods used to modify the cell culture of MSCs for their use in regenerative medicine of cartilage tissue.

Abstract
Cell-based therapy represents a promising treatment strategy for cartilage defects. Alone or in combination with scaffolds/biological signals, these strategies open many new avenues for cartilage tissue engineering. However, the choice of the optimal cell source is not that straightforward. Currently, various types of differentiated cells (articular and nasal chondrocytes) and stem cells (mesenchymal stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells) are being researched to objectively assess their merits and disadvantages with respect to the ability to repair damaged articular cartilage. In this paper, we focus on the different cell types used in cartilage treatment, first from a biological scientist’s perspective and then from a clinician’s standpoint. We compare and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these cell types and offer a potential outlook for future research and clinical application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aims were to determine whether BST-CarGel, a chitosan scaffold for cartilage repair, can be mixed with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) to create a cell seeded implant with comparative properties to standard BST-CarGel mixed with blood. DESIGN Whole blood and bone marrow were harvested from 12 patients who underwent cartilage repair surgery using BMAC after informed consent. A validated in vitro testing model was used to assess the following 6 conditions: (1) BST-CarGel mixed with whole blood (CG-WB), (2) BST-CarGel mixed with bone marrow (CG-BM), (3) BST-CarGel mixed with bone marrow concentrate (CG-BMAC), (4) whole blood (WB), (5) bone marrow (BM), and (6) bone marrow concentrate and batroxobin (BMAC-BTX). Cell retention and viability within the BST-CarGel/BMAC clots were investigated. RESULTS In our study, BM and BMAC (processed using the Harvest, SmartPrep2 system and reactivated with batroxibin) when combined with BST-CarGel produced a product that had similar clot contraction, macroscopic properties, and histological appearance to standard BSTCarGel mixed with blood. Mononucleated cells from the BMAC were retained within the scaffold and remained viable until clot dissolution in vitro. CONCLUSIONS By combining BST-CarGel with BMAC in the manner described, bone marrow-derived mononucleated cells can be retained within the chondral defect potentially negating the need for microfracture. Further in vivo work is required to confirm these potential benefits and determine if this combination will result in more durable cartilage repair and improved clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The native extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex gel-like system with a broad range of structural features and biomolecular signals. Hydrogel platforms that can recapitulate the complexity and signaling properties of this ECM would have enormous impact in fields ranging from tissue engineering to drug discovery. Here, we report on the design, synthesis, and proof-of-concept validation of a microporous and nanofibrous hydrogel exhibiting multiple bioactive epitopes designed to recreate key features of the bone ECM. The material platform integrates self-assembly with orthogonal enzymatic cross-linking to create a supramolecular environment comprising hyaluronic acid modified with tyramine (HA-Tyr) and peptides amphiphiles (PAs) designed to promote cell adhesion (RGDS-PA), osteogenesis (Osteo-PA), and angiogenesis (Angio-PA). Through individual and co-cultures of human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) and human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs), we confirmed the capacity of the HA-Tyr/RGDS-PA/Osteo-PA/Angio-PA hydrogel to promote cell adhesion as well as osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation in both 2D and 3D setups. Furthermore, using immunofluorescent staining and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), we demonstrated co-differentiation and organization of hAMSCs and HUVECs into 3D aggregates resembling vascularized bone-like constructs. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This body of work presents a new approach to develop more complex, yet functional, in vitro environments for cell culture while enabling a high level of control, tuneability, and reproducibility. The multicomponent self-assembling bioactive 2D and 3D hydrogels with nanofibrous architecture designed to recreate key molecular and macromolecular features of the native bone ECM and promote both osteogenesis and angiogenesis. The materials induce endothelial cells towards large vascular lumens and MSCs into bone cells on/within the same platform and form vascularized-bone like construct in vitro. This strategy looks encouraging for lifelike bone tissue engineering in vitro and bone tissue regeneration in vivo.

Optically Transparent Anionic Nanofibrillar Cellulose Is Cytocompatible with Human Adipose Tissue-Derived Stem Cells and Allows Simple Imaging in 3D. Stem Cells Int 2019; 2019:3106929.

Abstract
The anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a focus within regenerative medicine. However, 2D cultivation of MSCs for extended periods results in abnormal cell polarity, chromosomal changes, reduction in viability, and altered differentiation potential. As an alternative, various 3D hydrogels have been developed which mimic the endogenous niche of MSCs. Nevertheless, imaging cells embedded within 3D hydrogels often suffers from low signal-to-noise ratios which can be at least partly attributed to the high light absorbance and light scattering of the hydrogels in the visible light spectrum. In this study, human adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ADSCs) are cultivated within an anionic nanofibrillar cellulose (aNFC) hydrogel. It is demonstrated that aNFC forms nanofibres arranged as a porous network with low light absorbance in the visible spectrum. Moreover, it is shown that aNFC is cytocompatible, allowing for MSC proliferation, maintaining cell viability and multilineage differentiation potential. Finally, aNFC is compatible with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy including the application of conventional dyes, fluorescent probes, indirect immunocytochemistry, and calcium imaging. Overall, the results indicate that aNFC represents a promising 3D material for the expansion of MSCs whilst allowing detailed examination of cell morphology and cellular behaviour.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells isolated from different tissues should share associated markers and the capability to differentiate to mesodermal lineages. However, their behavior varies in specific microenvironments. Herein, adhesion and fibrinolytic activity of mesenchymal stem cells from placenta, bone marrow, and Wharton’s jelly were evaluated in fibrin hydrogels prepared with nonpurified blood plasma and compared with two-dimensional cultures. Despite the source, mesenchymal stem cells adhered through focal adhesions positive for vinculin and integrin αV in two dimensions, while focal adhesions could not be detected in fibrin hydrogels. Moreover, some cells could not spread and stay rounded. The proportions of elongated and round phenotypes varied, with placenta mesenchymal stem cells having the lowest percentage of elongated cells (~10%). Mesenchymal stem cells degraded fibrin at distinct rates, and placenta mesenchymal stem cells had the strongest fibrinolytic activity, which was achieved principally through the plasminogen–plasmin axis. These findings might have clinical implications in tissue engineering and wound healing therapy.

CD271-selected mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue enhance cartilage repair and are less angiogenic than plastic adherent mesenchymal stem cells. Sci Rep 2019; 9:3194.

Abstract
CD271 is a marker of bone marrow MSCs with enhanced differentiation capacity for bone or cartilage repair. However, the nature of CD271+ MSCs from adipose tissue (AT) is less well understood. Here, we investigated the differentiation, wound healing and angiogenic capacity of plastic adherent MSCs (PA MSCs) versus CD271+ MSCs from AT. There was no difference in the extent to which PA MSCs and CD271+ MSCs formed osteoblasts, adipocytes or chondrocytes in vitro. In contrast, CD271+ MSCs transplanted into athymic rats significantly enhanced osteochondral wound healing with reduced vascularisation in the repair tissue compared to PA MSCs and control animals; there was little histological evidence of mature articular cartilage formation in all animals. Conditioned medium from CD271+ MSC cultures was less angiogenic than PA MSC conditioned medium, and had little effect on endothelial cell migration or endothelial tubule formation in vitro. The low angiogenic activity of CD271+ MSCs and improved early stage tissue repair of osteochondral lesions when transplanted, along with a comparable differentiation capacity along mesenchymal lineages when induced, suggests that these selected cells are a better candidate than PA MSCs for the repair of cartilaginous tissue.

Abstract
Successful clinical translation of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies for cartilage repair will likely require the implementation of standardised protocols and broadly applicable tools to facilitate the comparisons among cell types and chondroinduction methods. The present study investigated the utility of recombinant lentiviral reporter vectors as reliable tools for comparing chondrogenic potential among primary cell populations and distinguishing cellular-level variations of chondrogenic activity in widely used three-dimensional (3D) culture systems. Primary equine MSCs and chondrocytes were transduced with vectors containing combinations of fluorescent and luciferase reporter genes under constitutive cytomeglavirus (CMV) or chondrocyte-lineage (Col2) promoters. Reporter activity was measured by fluorescence imaging and luciferase assay. In 3D cultures of MSC aggregates and polyethylene glycol-hyaluronic acid (PEG-HA) hydrogels, transforming growth factor beta 3 (TGF-β3)-mediated chondroinduction increased Col2 reporter activity, demonstrating close correlation with histology and mRNA expression levels of COL2A1 and SOX9. Comparison of chondrogenic activities among MSC populations using a secretable luciferase reporter revealed enhanced chondrogenesis in bone-marrow-derived MSCs relative to MSC populations from synovium and adipose tissues. A dual fluorescence reporter - enabling discrimination of highly chondrogenic (Col2-GFP) cells within an MSC population (CMV-tdTomato) - revealed marked heterogeneity in differentiating aggregate cultures and identified chondrogenic cells in chondrocyte-seeded PEG-HA hydrogels after 6 weeks in a subcutaneous implant model - indicating stable, long-term reporter expression in vivo. These results suggested that lentiviral reporter vectors may be used to address fundamental questions regarding chondrogenic activity in chondroprogenitor cell populations and accelerate clinical translation of cell-based cartilage repair strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW While the clinical potential of tissue engineering for treating joint damage has yet to be realized, research and commercialization efforts in the field are geared towards overcoming major obstacles to clinical translation, as well as towards achieving engineered grafts that recapitulate the unique structures, function, and physiology of the joint. In this review, we describe recent advances in technologies aimed at obtaining biomaterials, stem cells, and bioreactors that will enable the development of effective tissue-engineered treatments for repairing joint damage. RECENT FINDINGS 3D printing of scaffolds is aimed at improving the mechanical structure and microenvironment necessary for bone regeneration within a damaged joint. Advances in our understanding of stem cell biology and cell manufacturing processes are informing translational strategies for the therapeutic use of allogeneic and autologous cells. Finally, bioreactors used in combination with cells and biomaterials are promising strategies for generating large tissue grafts for repairing damaged tissues in pre-clinical models. Together, these advances along with ongoing research directions are making tissue engineering increasingly viable for the treatment of joint damage.

Abstract
The multifactorial complexity of spinal cord injuries includes the formation of a glial scar, of which chondroitin sulphated proteoglycans (CSPG) are an integral component. Previous studies have shown CSPG to have inhibitory effects on endothelial and neuronal cell growth, highlighting the difficulty of spinal cord regeneration. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) are widely used as a cell therapy, and there is mounting evidence for their angiogenic and neurotrophic paracrine properties. However, in vivo studies have observed poor engraftment and survival of MSC when injected into SCI. Currently, it is not known whether increasing CSPG concentrations seen after SCI may affect MSC; therefore we have investigated the effects of CSPG exposure to MSC in vitro. CSPG-mediated inhibition of MSC adhesion was observed when MSC were cultured on substrates of increasing CSPG concentration, however MSC viability was not affected even up to five days of culture. Culture conditioned medium harvested from these cultures (primed MSC CM) was used as both culture substrata and soluble medium for EA.hy926 endothelial cells and SH-SY5Y neuronal cells. MSC CM was angiogenic, promoting endothelial cell adhesion, proliferation and tubule formation. However, exposing MSC to CSPG reduced the effects of CSPG-primed MSC CM on endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation, but did not reduce MSC-induced endothelial tubule formation. Primed MSC CM also promoted neuronal cell adhesion, which was reduced following exposure to CSPG. There were no marked differences in neurite outgrowth in MSC CM from CSPG primed MSC cultures versus control conditions, although non-primed MSC CM from the same donors was found to significantly enhance neurite outgrowth. Taken together, these studies demonstrate that MSC are resilient to CSPG exposure, but that there is a marked effect of CSPG on their paracrine regenerative activity. The findings increase our understanding of how the wound microenvironment after SCI can mitigate the beneficial effects of MSC transplantation.

Abstract
Isolated chondral defects have a limited capacity to heal and predispose to the development of osteoarthritis. Current surgical management can be unpredictable in outcome. Improved understanding of the action of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has seen renewed interest in their role in cartilage repair. A 26-year-old athlete presented with a post-traumatic, isolated patella chondral defect. The patient underwent an arthroscopy with removal of a chondral loose body. After failure to symptomatically improve 12 months following surgery, the patient received intra-articular autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADMSC) therapy.

Adipose-derived stem cell sheet encapsulated construct of micro-porous decellularized cartilage debris and hydrogel for cartilage defect repair. Med Hypotheses 2017; 109:111-113.

Abstract
Challenges of repairing injuries and damage to the cartilage still remain in orthopedics. The characteristics of cartilage structure, especially avascular, make it a limited capacity of self-renewal. Articular cartilage defect or damage result from various causes will lead to degenerative osteoarthritis (OA). Surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment can temporarily alleviate symptoms to some extent but can't fundamentally restore the normal structure and function of cartilage, and therefore give rise to progressive degeneration. Autologous or allogeneic cartilage transplantation has been employed to the treatment of osteoarthritis for years. Nevertheless, the major deficiency of cartilage grafting is the inability and insufficiency to repair large cartilage defect. Implants are also unable to integrate with native tissue well. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) can be easily isolated from subcutaneous fat tissues and harvest as intact cell sheets containing extracellular matrix (ECM), intercellular connect, ion channel, growth factor receptors, nexin and other important cell surface proteins by means of temperature-responsive culture dish (TCD). A cell sheet can provide a large amount of extracellular matrix, fibronectin, and cells contributing to the integration of cartilage. Decellularized extracellular matrix (DECM) of cartilage debris with excellent cell affinity and signal transduction is capable of driving cartilage homeostasis and regeneration. Appropriate decellularization process would remove cellular remnants of cartilage debris, keep the mechanical properties, and avoid the adverse immune response of allografts effectively. Micro-porous cartilage debris conduces to cell migration and angiogenesis. The cell-round shape of adipose-derived stem cells cultured in the three-dimensional (3D) system provided by hydrogel is more susceptible to chondrogenic stimulation and prevents it from fibroblast-like phenotypic conversion. We hypothesize that adipose-derived stem cell sheet encapsulated construct of micro-porous decellularized cartilage debris and hydrogel can effectively promote regeneration of cartilage defect. The construct of decellularized cartilage debris and hydrogel provide a favorable microenvironment for stem cells. Adipose-derived stem cells sheet supply fibronectin, collagen, and cells contributing to integration and regeneration of cartilage restore. Moreover, the constructs can be shaped and fabricated according to the configuration of target defect, especially in osteoarthritis, which is promising for clinical application.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used in cell replacement therapies for connective tissue damage, but also can stimulate wound healing through paracrine activity. In order to further understand the potential use of MSCs to treat dogs with neurological disorders, this study examined the paracrine action of adipose-derived canine MSCs on neuronal and endothelial cell models. The culture-expanded MSCs exhibited a MSC phenotype according to plastic adherence, cell morphology, CD profiling and differentiation potential along mesenchymal lineages. Treating the SH-SY5Y neuronal cell line with serum-free MSC culture-conditioned medium (MSC CM) significantly increased SH-SY5Y cell proliferation (P <0.01), neurite outgrowth (P = 0.0055) and immunopositivity for the neuronal marker βIII-tubulin (P = 0.0002). Treatment of the EA.hy926 endothelial cell line with MSC CM significantly increased the rate of wound closure in endothelial cell scratch wound assays (P = 0.0409), which was associated with significantly increased endothelial cell proliferation (P <0.05) and migration (P = 0.0001). Furthermore, canine MSC CM induced endothelial tubule formation in EA.hy926 cells in a soluble basement membrane matrix. Hence, this study has demonstrated that adipose-derived canine MSC CM stimulated neuronal and endothelial cells probably through the paracrine activity of MSC-secreted factors. This supports the use of canine MSC transplants or their secreted products in the clinical treatment of dogs with neurological disorders and provides some insight into possible mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Repair of cartilage injuries represents a musculoskeletal medicine criticism because of the poor ability to self-renewal of adult cartilage. Therefore, research focuses on developing new regenerative strategies combining chondrocytes or stem cells, scaffolds and growth factors. Because of the low proliferation capability of explanted chondrocytes, new chondrogenesis models, employing human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), have been investigated. ASCs are readily accessible with no morbidity and display the capability to differentiate into several cell lineages, including the spontaneous chondrogenic differentiation when entrapped in collagen gel scaffolds. Recent studies also defined some biomolecular mechanisms involved in ASC chondrogenesis in vitro, and their regenerative properties in bioengineered scaffolds and in the presence of growth factors. However, further investigations are required to validate these exciting preclinical results for the application of bioenginereed ASCs in the clinical practice.

In Vitro Bioactivity Study of RGD-Coated Titanium Alloy Prothesis for Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2016; 2016:8627978.

Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common procedure for the treatment of end-stage hip joint disease, and the demand for revision THA will double by 2026. Ti6Al4V (Titanium, 6% Aluminum, and 4% Vanadium) is a kind of alloy commonly used to make hip prothesis. To promote the osseointegration between the prothesis and host bone is very important for the revision THA. The peptide Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) could increase cell attachment and has been used in the vascular tissue engineering. In this study, we combined the RGD with Ti6Al4V alloy using the covalent cross-linking method to fabricate the functional Ti6Al4V alloy (FTA). The distribution of RGD oligopeptide on the FTA was even and homogeneous. The FTA scaffolds could promote mouse osteoblasts adhesion and spreading. Furthermore, the result of RT-qPCR indicated that the FTA scaffolds were more beneficial to osteogenesis, which may be due to the improvement of osteoblast adhesion by the RGD oligopeptide coated on FTA. Overall, the FTA scaffolds developed herein pave the road for designing and building more efficient prothesis for osseointegration between the host bone and prothesis in revision THA.

Pelleted Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Are Better Protected from the Deleterious Effects of Arthroscopic Heat Shock. Front Physiol 2016; 7:180. [PMID: 27252654 PMCID: PMC4877393 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2016.00180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2016] [Accepted: 05/05/2016] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: The impact of arthroscopic temperature on joint tissues is poorly understood and it is not known how mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) respond to the effects of heat generated by the device during the process of arthroscopy assisted experimental cell-based therapy. In the present study, we isolated and phenotypically characterized human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMMSCs) from osteoarthritis (OA) patients, and evaluated the effect of arthroscopic heat on cells in suspension and pellet cultures. Methods: Primary cultures of hBMMSCs were isolated from bone marrow aspirates of OA patients and cultured using DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and characterized for their stemness. hBMMSCs (1 × 106 cells) cultured as single cell suspensions or cell pellets were exposed to an illuminated arthroscope for 10, 20, or 30 min. This was followed by analysis of cellular proliferation and heat shock related gene expression. Results: hBMMSCs were viable and exhibited population doubling, short spindle morphology, MSC related CD surface markers expression and tri-lineage differentiation into adipocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts. Chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation increased collagen production and alkaline phosphatase activity. Exposure of hBMMSCs to an illuminated arthroscope for 10, 20, or 30 min for 72 h decreased metabolic activity of the cells in suspensions (63.27% at 30 min) and increased metabolic activity in cell pellets (62.86% at 10 min and 68.57% at 20 min). hBMMSCs exposed to 37, 45, and 55°C for 120 s demonstrated significant upregulation of BAX, P53, Cyclin A2, Cyclin E1, TNF-α, and HSP70 in cell suspensions compared to cell pellets. Conclusions: hBMMSC cell pellets are better protected from temperature alterations compared to cell suspensions. Transplantation of hBMMSCs as pellets rather than as cell suspensions to the cartilage defect site would therefore support their viability and may aid enhanced cartilage regeneration.
