Abstract
BACKGROUND Fat processing plays a pivotal role in graft survival. Each component of the blood in lipoaspirate affects fat survival in different ways, but the mechanisms are not clear. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate, by various experimental methods, the effect of blood on the viability of fat grafts and adipose stem cells (ASCs). METHODS Blood and fat samples were obtained from 6 female patients undergoing aesthetic liposuction. For the in vivo experiment, we compared fat mixed with normal saline or various ratios of blood in nude mice. The samples were explanted at 2 and 8 weeks to evaluate the gross volume retention and histologic and immunohistochemical characteristics. For in vitro experiments, ASCs were pretreated with hemoglobin at different concentrations and for different times. We then assessed the proliferation, migration, adipogenesis, and reactive oxygen species production of ASCs. RESULTS Blood in the graft led to a decrease in graft viability, as evaluated by general observation and histologic and immunohistochemical morphology in vivo. In vitro experiments showed inhibited proliferation, migration, and adipogenesis, and increased reactive oxygen species production in ACSs, after hemoglobin treatment, suggesting impaired ASC viability. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that blood impairs the viability of fat grafts and ASCs and provides evidence that washing to remove blood is important in fat processing.

Abstract
For decades, plastic surgeons have spent considerable effort exploring anatomical regions for free flap design. More recently, tissue-engineering approaches have been utilised in an attempt to grow transplantable tissue flaps in vivo. The aim of this study was to engineer a fat flap with a vascular pedicle by combining autologous fat grafts and a novel acellular hydrogel (Adipogel) in an established tissue-engineering model comprising a chamber and blood vessel loop. An arteriovenous loop was created in the rat groin from the femoral vessels and positioned inside a perforated polycarbonate chamber. In Group 1, the chamber contained minced, centrifuged autologous fat; in Group 2, Adipogel was added to the graft; and in Group 3, Adipogel alone was used. Constructs were histologically examined at 6 and 12 weeks. In all groups, new tissue was generated. Adipocytes, although appearing viable in the graft at the time of insertion, were predominantly nonviable at 6 weeks. However, by 12 weeks, new fat had formed in all groups and was significantly greater in the combined fat/Adipogel group. No significant difference was seen in final construct total volume or construct neovascularisation between the groups. This study demonstrated that a pedicled adipose flap can be generated in rats by combining a blood vessel loop, an adipogenic hydrogel, and a lipoaspirate equivalent. Success appears to be based on adipogenesis rather than on adipocyte survival, and consistent with our previous work, this adipogenesis occurred subsequent to graft death and remodelling. The regenerative process was significantly enhanced in the presence of Adipogel.

Abstract
Augmenting the biological function of adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) is a promising approach to promoting tissue remodeling in regenerative medicine. Here, we examined the effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on the paracrine activity and adipogenic differentiation capacity of human breast ASCs (hbASCs) in vitro. hbASCs were isolated and characterized in terms of stromal cell surface markers and multipotency. Third-passage hbASCs were cultured in basic media only or basic media containing different concentrations of G-Rg1 (0.1-100 μM). Cell proliferation was assessed by CCK-8 assay. Paracrine activity was assessed using ELISA. Gene expression was measured by qRT-PCR. Adipogenic differentiation capacity was evaluated by Oil red O staining. We found that hbASCs differentiated into adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes in appropriate induction culture medium. hbASCs showed expression of CD29, CD44, CD49d, CD73, CD90, CD105, and CD133 but not CD31 and CD45 surface markers. G-Rg1 increased hbASC proliferation and adipogenic differentiation capacity at lower concentrations (0.1-1 μM) and had the opposite effects at higher concentrations (10-100 μM), while enhanced paracrine activity was observed in all experimental groups compared with control group, and the activation effect of lower concentration G-Rg1 was greater than at higher concentration. These results indicate that G-Rg1 can enhance the proliferation, paracrine activity, and adipogenic differentiation capacity of hbASCs within a certain concentration range. Therefore, the use of G-Rg1 may be beneficial to ASC-assisted fat graft regeneration and soft tissue engineering.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and cell-based therapy combine techniques that create biocompatible materials for cell survival, which can improve tendon repair. This study seeks to use a new fibrin sealant (FS) derived from the venom of Crotalus durissus terrificus, a biodegradable three-dimensional scaffolding produced from animal components only, associated with adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) for application in tendons injuries, considered a common and serious orthopedic problem. Lewis rats had tendons distributed in five groups: normal (N), transected (T), transected and FS (FS) or ASC (ASC) or with FS and ASC (FS + ASC). The in vivo imaging showed higher quantification of transplanted PKH26-labeled ASC in tendons of FS + ASC compared to ASC on the 14th day after transection. A small number of Iba1 labeled macrophages carrying PKH26 signal, probably due to phagocytosis of dead ASC, were observed in tendons of transected groups. ASC up-regulated the Tenomodulin gene expression in the transection region when compared to N, T and FS groups and the expression of TIMP-2 and Scleraxis genes in relation to the N group. FS group presented a greater organization of collagen fibers, followed by FS + ASC and ASC in comparison to N. Tendons from ASC group presented higher hydroxyproline concentration in relation to N and the transected tendons of T, FS and FS + ASC had a higher amount of collagen I and tenomodulin in comparison to N group. Although no marked differences were observed in the other biomechanical parameters, T group had higher value of maximum load compared to the groups ASC and FS + ASC. In conclusion, the FS kept constant the number of transplanted ASC in the transected region until the 14th day after injury. Our data suggest this FS to be a good scaffold for treatment during tendon repair because it was the most effective one regarding tendon organization recovering, followed by the FS treatment associated with ASC and finally by the transplanted ASC on the 21st day. Further investigations in long-term time points of the tendon repair are needed to analyze if the higher tissue organization found with the FS scaffold will improve the biomechanics of the tendons.

Sphingosine 1-Phosphate Receptor 1 Is Required for MMP-2 Function in Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells: Implications for Cytoskeleton Assembly and Proliferation.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell- (BM-MSC-) based therapy is a promising option for regenerative medicine. An important role in the control of the processes influencing the BM-MSC therapeutic efficacy, namely, extracellular matrix remodelling and proliferation and secretion ability, is played by matrix metalloproteinase- (MMP-) 2. Therefore, the identification of paracrine/autocrine regulators of MMP-2 function may be of great relevance for improving BM-MSC therapeutic potential. We recently reported that BM-MSCs release the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and, here, we demonstrated an impairment of MMP-2 expression/release when the S1P receptor subtype S1PR1 is blocked. Notably, active S1PR1/MMP-2 signalling is required for F-actin structure assembly (lamellipodia, microspikes, and stress fibers) and, in turn, cell proliferation. Moreover, in experimental conditions resembling the damaged/regenerating tissue microenvironment (hypoxia), S1P/S1PR1 system is also required for HIF-1α expression and vinculin reduction. Our findings demonstrate for the first time the trophic role of S1P/S1PR1 signalling in maintaining BM-MSCs' ability to modulate MMP-2 function, necessary for cytoskeleton reorganization and cell proliferation in both normoxia and hypoxia. Altogether, these data provide new perspectives for considering S1P/S1PR1 signalling a pharmacological target to preserve BM-MSC properties and to potentiate their beneficial potential in tissue repair.

Abstract
The activation of tunica albuginea myofibroblasts (MFs) serves an essential role in Peyronie's disease (PD). Increasing evidence has reported that adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been demonstrated to attenuate the symptoms of PD in animal models. However, the mechanisms of the antifibrotic effects of ADSCs in PD remain to be fully elucidated. In the present study, the inhibitory effects and possible mechanism of ADSCs on the activation of MFs derived from rat penile tunica albuginea were investigated. ADSCs were obtained from the paratesticular fat of Sprague Dawley rats. MFs were transformed from rat penile tunica albuginea fibroblasts through stimulation with 5 ng/ml tumor growth factor-β1. Transwell cell cultures were adopted for co-culture of ADSCs and MFs. Western blot analysis was used to assess changes in the expression levels of α smooth muscle actin (αSMA), collagen I, phosphorylated (p)-SMAD family member 2 (Smad2), Smad2, ras homolog family member A (RhoA), Rho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK)1 and ROCK2, caspase3, caspase9, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Collagen gel assays were used to assess cell contractility. Additionally, the concentration of hydroxyproline in the culture medium was detected using commercially available kits. It was demonstrated that ADSCs reduced the expression of αSMA and collagen I of MFs. Furthermore, p-Smad2, RhoA, ROCK1 and ROCK2 expression was significantly reduced in the MFs+ADSCs group compared with that in the MFs-only culture, while the expression of MMPs (MMP2, MMP3, MMP9 and MMP13) and caspases (caspase3 and caspase9) was upregulated. In addition, ADSCs were able to downregulate the concentration of hydroxyproline in the culture medium of MFs and reverse the contraction of MFs. Collectively, these results suggested that ADSCs inhibited the activation of MFs, decreased collagen production, and suppressed the contraction of myofibroblasts, via Smad and RhoA/ROCK signaling pathways. Furthermore, ADSCs reduced the deposition of collagen and promoted the apoptosis of MFs via MMPs, and caspases. Accordingly, the application of ADSCs may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for PD.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which are regarded as promising candidates for cell replacement therapies, are able to regulate immune responses after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Secondary immune response following the mechanical injury is the essential factor leading to the necrosis and apoptosis of neural cells during and after the cerebral edema has subsided and there is lack of efficient agent that can mitigate such neuroinflammation in the clinical application. By means of three molecular pathways (prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumor-necrosis-factor-inducible gene 6 protein (TSG-6), and progesterone receptor (PR) and glucocorticoid receptors (GR)), MSCs induce the activation of macrophages/microglia and drive them polarize into the M2 phenotypes, which inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promotes tissue repair and nerve regeneration. The regulation of MSCs and the polarization of macrophages/microglia are dynamically changing based on the inflammatory environment. Under the stimulation of platelet lysate (PL), MSCs also promote the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Meanwhile, the statue of macrophages/microglia exerts significant effects on the survival, proliferation, differentiation and activation of MSCs by changing the niche of cells. They form positive feedback loops in maintaining the homeostasis after TBI to relieving the secondary injury and promoting tissue repair. MSC therapies have obtained great achievements in several central nervous system disease clinical trials, which will accelerate the application of MSCs in TBI treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Heparin/protamine micro/nanoparticles (LH/P-MPs) were recently developed as low-molecular weight, biodegradable carriers for adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs). These particles can be used for a locally delivered stem cell therapy that promotes angiogenesis. LH/P-MPs bind to the cell surface of ADSCs and promote cell-to-cell interaction and aggregation of ADSCs. Cultured ADSC/LH/P-MP aggregates remain viable. Here, we examined the ability of these aggregates to rescue limb loss in a mouse model of hindlimb ischemia. METHODS Unilateral hindlimb ischemia was induced in adult male BALB/c mice by ligation of the iliac artery and hindlimb vein. For allotransplantation of ADSCs from the same inbred strain, we injected ADSC alone or ADSC/LH/P-MP aggregates or control medium (sham-treated) directly into the ischemic muscles. Ischemic limb blood perfusion, vessel density, and vessel area were recorded. The extent of ischemic limb necrosis or limb loss was assessed on postoperative days 2, 7, and 14. RESULTS Compared with the sham-treatment control, treatment with ADSCs alone showed modest effects on blood perfusion recovery and increased the number of α-SMA-positive vessels. Response to ADSC/LH/P-MP aggregates was significantly greater than ADSCs alone for every endpoint. ADSC/LH/P-MP aggregates more effectively prevented the loss of ischemic hindlimbs than ADSCs alone or the sham-treatment. CONCLUSION The LH/P-MPs augmented the effects of ADSCs on angiogenesis and reversal of limb ischemia. Use of ADSC/LH/P-MP aggregates offers a novel and convenient treatment method and potentially represents a promising new therapeutic approach to inducing angiogenesis in ischemic diseases.

Abstract
Background Wound healing involves the integration of complex biological processes. Several studies examined numerous approaches to enhance wound healing and to minimize its related morbidity. Both chitosan and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were used in treating skin wounds. The aim of the current work was to compare MSCs versus chitosan in wound healing, evaluate the most efficient route of administration of MSCs, either intradermal or systemic injection, and elicit the mechanisms inducing epidermal and dermal cell regeneration using histological, immunohistochemical and fluorescent techniques. Material and Methods Forty adult male Sprague Dawley albino rats were divided into four equal groups (ten rats in each group): control group (Group I); full thickness surgical skin wound model, Group II: Wound and chitosan gel. Group III: Wound treated with systemic injection of MSCs and Group IV: Wound treated with intradermal injection of MSCs. The healing ulcer was examined on day 3, 5, 10 and 15 for gross morphological evaluation and on day 10 and 15 for histological, immunohistochemical and fluorescent studies. Results Chitosan was proved to promote wound healing more than the control group but none of their wound reached complete closure. Better and faster healing of wounds in MSCs treated groups were manifested more than the control or chitosan treated groups. It was found that the intradermal route of administration of stem cells enhanced the rate of healing of skin wounds better than the systemic administration to the extent that, by the end of the fifteenth day of the experiment, the wounds were completely healed in all rats of this group. Histologically, the wound areas of group IV were hardly demarcated from the adjacent normal skin and showed complete regeneration of the epidermis, dermis, hypodermis and underlying muscle fibers. Collagen fibers were arranged in many directions, with significant increase in their area percent, surrounding fully regenerated hair follicles and sebaceous glands in the dermis of the healed areas more than in other groups. Conclusion MSCs enhanced the healing process of wound closure more than chitosan gel treatment. Furthermore, MSCs injected intradermally, were more efficient in accelerating wound healing than any other mode of treatment.
