Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:5655-5667. [PMID: 38921009 PMCID: PMC11202801 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46060338] [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: 03/31/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
In this in vivo study on hairless mice, we examined the effects of light-emitting diode (LED) treatment applied prior to ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation. We found that pre-treating with LED improved skin morphological and histopathological conditions compared to those only exposed to UVB irradiation. In our study, histological evaluation of collagen and elastic fibers after LED treatment prior to UVB irradiation showed that this pretreatment significantly enhanced the quality of fibers, which were otherwise poor in density and irregularly arranged due to UV exposure alone. This suggests that LED treatment promotes collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin properties. Additionally, we observed an increase in Claudin-1 expression and a reduction in nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) and heme-oxygenase 1 (HO-1) expression within the LED-treated skin tissues, suggesting that LED therapy may modulate key skin barrier proteins and oxidative stress markers. These results demonstrate that pretreatment with LED light can enhance the skin's resistance to UVB-induced damage by modulating gene regulation associated with skin protection. Further investigations are needed to explore the broader biological effects of LED therapy on other tissues such as blood vessels. This study underscores the potential of LED therapy as a non-invasive approach to enhance skin repair and counteract the effects of photoaging caused by UV exposure.

The role and mechanism of engineered nanovesicles derived from hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of UVB-induced skin photoaging. J Cosmet Dermatol 2024. [PMID: 38769897 DOI: 10.1111/jocd.16336] [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: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are effective in the treatment of skin photoaging; however, their low yield and functional decline with passage progression limit their clinical application. Cell-derived nanovesicles (CNVs) are potential alternatives that can address the limitations of EVs derived from MSCs and are conducive to clinical transformations. Hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (HFMSCs), a type of MSCs, have demonstrated the function of repairing skin tissues; nevertheless, the efficacy of CNVs from HFMSCs (HFMSC-CNVs) in the treatment of skin photoaging remains unclear. Therefore, ultraviolet radiation B (UVB)-induced photoaging nude mice and human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) were used as experimental models to investigate the therapeutic effects of HFMSC-CNVs in photoaging models. METHODS HFMSC-CNVs were successfully prepared using the mechanical extrusion method. UVB-induced nude mice and HDFs were used as experimental models of photoaging. Multiple approaches, including hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS), flow cytometry, western blotting, and other experimental methods, were combined to investigate the possible effects and mechanisms of HFMSC-CNVs in the treatment of skin photoaging. RESULTS In the nude mouse model of skin photoaging, treatment with HFMSC-CNVs reduced UVB-induced skin wrinkles (p < 0.05) and subcutaneous capillary dilation, alleviated epidermis thickening (p < 0.001), and dermal thinning (p < 0.001). Furthermore, HFMSC-CNVs upregulated proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression (p < 0.05) and decreased the levels of ROS, β-galactosidase (β-Gal), and CD86 (p < 0.01). In vitro experiments, treatment with HFMSC-CNVs enhanced the cellular activity of UVB-exposed HDFs (p < 0.05), and reduced ROS levels and the percentage of senescent cells (p < 0.001), and alleviated cell cycle arrest (p < 0.001). HFMSC-CNVs upregulated the expression of Collagen I (Col I), SMAD2/3, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX-1), and superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD-1) (p < 0.05) and downregulated the expression of cycle suppressor protein (p53), cell cycle suppressor protein (p21), and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Conclusively, the anti-photoaging properties of HFMSC-CNVs were confirmed both in vivo and in vitro. HFMSC-CNVs exert anti-photoaging effects by alleviating cell cycle arrest, decreasing cellular senescence and macrophage infiltration, promoting cell proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) production, and reducing oxidative stress by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes.

Abstract
Aging is the main cause of many degenerative diseases. The skin is the largest and the most intuitive organ that reflects the aging of the body. Under the interaction of endogenous and exogenous factors, there are cumulative changes in the structure, function, and appearance of the skin, which are characterized by decreased synthesis of collagen and elastin, increased wrinkles, relaxation, pigmentation, and other aging characteristics. skin aging is inevitable, but it can be delayed. The successful isolation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) in 1991 has greatly promoted the progress of cell therapy in human diseases. The International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT) points out that the MSC is a kind of pluripotent progenitor cells that have self-renewal ability (limited) in vitro and the potential for mesenchymal cell differentiation. This review mainly introduces the role of perinatal umbilical cord-derived MSC(UC-MSC) in the field of skin rejuvenation. An in-depth and systematic understanding of the mechanism of UC-MSCs against skin aging is of great significance for the early realization of the clinical transformation of UC-MSCs. This paper summarized the characteristics of skin aging and summarized the mechanism of UC-MSCs in skin rejuvenation reported in recent years. In order to provide a reference for further research of UC-MSCs to delay skin aging.

Abstract
Using mass spectrometry (MS)-guided isolation methods, a new thiodiketopiperazine derivative (1) and exserohilone (2) were isolated from an EtOAc-extract of Setosphaeria rostrata culture medium. The chemical structure of the new compound was elucidated by MS and NMR spectroscopy, and the absolute configurations were established by the quantum mechanical calculations of electronic circular dichroism. All isolated compounds were examined for their effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) secretion, and procollagen type I α1 secretion in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced human dermal fibroblasts. Compound 1 and exserohilone (2) exhibited the inhibition of TNF-α-induced ROS generation and MMP-1 secretion. Additionally, compound 1 and exserohilone (2) increased the procollagen type I α1 secretion. Compound 1 docked computationally into the active site of MMP-1 (-6.0 kcal/mol).

Abstract
Kangfuxin liquid (KFX), an extract of the American cockroach, has been clinically proven to be effective in various skin damage disorders, but there are no reports on its use in photodamage. We explored the effect of KFX on ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced photodamage and whether its mechanism was related to autophagy. We found that KFX treatment reduced UVB-induced reactive oxygen species production and improved the vitality of cells inhibited by UVB irradiation. The expression of LC3 (A/B), which was inhibited after UVB irradiation, could be rescued by KFX treatment. Furthermore, KFX may upregulate the level of cellular autophagy by regulating the AMPK-mTOR signaling pathway. When the autophagy inhibitor wortmannin was used to inhibit autophagy, the protective effect of KFX on cells was diminished or even disappeared. Our study suggests that KFX may resist UVB-mediated oxidative stress damage of HaCaT through the induction of autophagy.

Abstract
Background Skin wound is a widespread health problem and brings extraordinary burdens to patients. Exosomes derived from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC-Exos) are considered promising strategies for repairing skin wounds. E2F1 is a member of the E2F family of transcription factors involved in cell growth and apoptosis. E2F1 deficiency in mice enhances wound healing by improving collagen deposition and angiogenesis. Additionally, E2F1 can regulate the transcription and paracrine activity of multiple miRNAs, which will inevitably reshape the paracrine expression profile of ADSC-Exos. This study aimed to investigate the impact of transcription factor E2F1 deficiency on the functions of ADSC-Exos in promoting wound healing. Methods First, we obtained ADSCs from subcutaneous adipose tissues of WT and E2F1-/- C57BL/6 mice and separated their exosomes, denoted as ADSCWT-Exos and ADSCE2F1-/--Exos. The wound healing effects of ADSCWT-Exos and ADSCE2F1-/--Exos in full-thickness skin wound models were investigated by wound images, H&E staining, and immunohistochemical staining. For the in vitro study, the abilities of ADSCWT-Exos and ADSCE2F1-/--Exos to promote cell activities, collagen formation, and angiogenesis were evaluated. The potential mechanism by which ADSCE2F1-/--Exos promote wound healing was determined by miRNA sequencing, ChIP‒qPCR, and dual-luciferase assays. Results ADSCE2F1-/--Exos accelerated wound healing by promoting collagen formation and angiogenesis. As a result, compared with the lower wound healing rate of 30.5% within 7 days in the control group and 42.3% in the ADSCWT-Exo group, ADSCE2F1-/--Exos significantly increased the wound healing rate to 72.5%. In vitro, ADSCE2F1-/--Exos activated the function of fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells. The loss of E2F1 promoted miR-130b-5p expression in ADSCE2F1-/--Exos through transcriptional regulation. MiRNA high-throughput sequencing identified 12 differently expressed miRNAs between ADSCE2F1-/- and ADSCWT. ADSCE2F1-/--Exos enhanced fibroblast activities via the miR-130b-5p/TGFBR3 axis and TGF-β activation. Conclusion Our results indicated that ADSCE2F1-/--Exos effectively promoted wound healing by regulating the miR-130b-5p/TGFBR3 axis, thus providing a novel strategy of gene-engineered stem cell exosomes for accelerating wound healing.

Abstract
Plastic surgeons have used the reconstructive ladder for many decades as a standard directory for complex trauma reconstruction with the goal of repairing body structures and restoring functionality. This consists of different surgical maneuvers, such as secondary intention and direct tissue closure, as well as more complex methods such as local tissue transfer and free flap. The reconstructive ladder represents widely known options achievable for tissue reconstruction and wound closure that puts at the bottom rung the simplest methods of reconstruction and strengthens the complexity by moving upward. Regenerative medicine and surgery constitute a quickly spreading area of translational research that can be employed by minimally invasive surgical strategies, with the aim of regenerating cells and tissues in vivo in order to reestablish normal function through the intrinsic potential of cells, in combination with biomaterials and appropriate biochemical stimuli. These translational procedures have the aim of creating an appropriate microenvironment capable of supporting the physiological cellular function to generate the desired cells or tissues and to generate parenchymal, stromal, and vascular components on demand, and above all to produce intelligent materials capable of determining the fate of cells. Smart technologies have been grown that give extra "rungs" on the classic reconstructive ladder to integrate a more holistic, patient-based approach with improved outcomes. This commentary presents the evolution of the traditional concept of the reconstructive ladder in the field of plastic surgery into a new course with the aim of achieving excellent results for soft tissue reconstruction by applying innovative technologies and biologically active molecules for a wide range of surgical diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and mesenchymal stem cells have been proven to reduce the effects of skin photoaging. However, there is no standardized protocol for their preparation. This study aimed to investigate the skin rejuvenation potential of micronized fat, obtained using a novel device attached with a trifoliate blade, in the ultraviolet B (UV-B)-induced human dermal fibroblast model. METHODS Micronized fat was prepared to obtain adipose-derived SVF, and the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell-to-SVF ratio was determined by flow cytometry. The UV-B-induced human dermal fibroblasts model was constructed to identify the characteristics of the human dermal fibroblasts using vimentin and S-100 immunostaining, observe their morphology, and measure the levels of photoaging-related factors. After the previous steps were completed, different cell groups were co-cultured with UV-B-induced human dermal fibroblasts, and the extent of improvement of photoaging was evaluated. RESULTS Micronized fat had a higher adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell-to-SVF ratio than the control fat preparations. The UV-B-induced human dermal fibroblasts model showed lowered levels of type I collagen and transforming growth factor-β and increased expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are the characteristics of photoaging in normal human dermal fibroblasts. Compared with different cell groups co-cultured with UV-B-induced human dermal fibroblasts, micronized fat could lower the expression of MMPs and increase the level of type I collagen but lower the level of transforming growth factor-β. CONCLUSIONS Obtaining micronized fat is more effortless and clinically safer. Micronized fat has an antiphotoaging effect by inhibiting the expression of MMPs by means of the mitogen-activated protein kinases signaling pathway. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT The authors' work has potential clinical applications in fat grafting for facial rejuvenation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photoaging is a degenerative biological process that affects the quality of life. It is caused by environmental factors including ultraviolet radiation (UVR), deep skin burns, smoking, active oxygen, chemical substances, and trauma. Among them, UVR plays a vital role in the aging process. AIM With the continuous development of modern medicine, clinical researchers have investigated novel approaches to treat aging. In particular, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), non-coding RNAs are involved in various physiological processes have broad clinical application as they have the advantages of convenient samples, abundant sources, and avoidable ethical issues. METHODS This article reviews research progress on five types of stem cell, exosomes, non-coding RNA in the context of photoaging treatment: adipose-derived stem cell, human umbilical cord MSCs, epidermal progenitor cells, keratinocyte stem cells, and hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). It also includes stem cell related exosomes and their non-coding RNA research. RESULTS The results have clinical guiding significance for prevention and control of the onset and development of photoaging. It is found that stem cells secrete cytokines, cell growth factors, non-coding RNA, exosomes and proteins to repair aging skin tissues and achieve skin rejuvenation. In particular, stem cell exosomes and non-coding RNA are found to have significant research potential, as they possess the benefits of their source cells without the disadvantages which include immune rejection and granuloma formation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cutaneous aging is an inevitable biological process that develops over time due to cumulative cellular and molecular changes caused by exposure to intrinsic (chronological aging) and extrinsic (photo-aging) factors on the skin. Skin aging is characterized by a decline in the body's capability to sustain senescence, dermal cell apoptosis, and homeostasis. Stem cell secretions (secretome) are defined as the total set of dynamically overlapping paracrine soluble growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, angiogenic factors, extracellular matrix proteins, and antimicrobial peptides known to be responsible for tissue rejuvenation, regeneration, homeostasis, and immunomodulation. METHODS In this review, we summarized the molecular and regulatory mechanism of the secretome in preventing the skin aging process, as well as its capacity in inducing skin rejuvenation. Furthermore, we illustrated secretome efficiency as an anti-aging therapeutic strategy based on in vitro and in vivo published studies. RESULTS In all reviewed publications, the secretome has been proven to be the most effective treatment for aged skin, capable of reversing the aging process through the action of cytokines, growth factors, and collagen, which are its primary components. The reported mechanism of action involves modulating the signaling pathways of aging and replenishing the skin with collagen, fibronectin, and elastin, ultimately resulting in skin renewal and rejuvenation. CONCLUSION In conclusion, compared to available treatments, the secretome shows great promise as an anti-aging therapy.

[PMID: 37675406 PMCID: PMC10478087 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1229387] [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: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: C-phycocyanin (C-PC), a photosynthetic protein obtained from Spirulina, is regarded a highly promising commercially available biochemical. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have provided evidence of C-PC's ability to mitigate the inflammatory response, alleviate oxidative stress, and facilitate wound healing. However, despite the existing knowledge regarding C-PC's protective mechanism against cellular apoptosis induced by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, further in vivo experiments are needed to explore its anti-photoaging mechanism. Methods: In this study, a UVB-induced skin photoaging model was established using BALB/c-nu mice, and the potential protective effects of topically administered c-PC were investigated by various molecular biology tools. In addition, a novel delivery system, C-PC nanodispersion, was developed to facilitate the transdermal delivery of C-PC. Results: C- PC demonstrated significant anti-photoaging activities in the UVB-induced skin. The application of C-PC to the dorsal skin of the mice resulted in improved macroscopic characteristics, such as reduced sagging and coarse wrinkling, under UVB irradiation Histological analyses showed that C-PC treatment significantly decreased the symptoms of epidermal thickening, prevented dermal collagen fiber loosening, increased the hydroxyproline (Hyp) content and activities of antioxidant enzymes (such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase) in mouse skin, decreased malondialdehyde levels and expressions of inflammatory factors (interleukin-1α [IL-1α], IL-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α), reduced matrix metalloproteinase [MMP-3 and MMP-9] expressions, and inhibited the phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and p38 proteins in the mitogen-activated protein kinase family. Discussion: By analyzing the results of the study, a new drug delivery system, C-PC nano-dispersion, was proposed, and the anti-photoaging effect of C-PC and its mechanism were investigated.

Exosomes derived from human adipose-derived stem cells alleviate hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury through the miR-183/ALOX5 axis. FASEB J 2023; 37:e22782. [PMID: 36786721 DOI: 10.1096/fj.202200277r] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023]
Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a crucial factor causing liver injury in the clinic. Recent research has confirmed that human adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) can differentiate into functional hepatocytes. However, the mechanism of the effects of ADSCs in the treatment of liver injury remains unclear. The characteristics of ADSCs were first identified, and exosome-derived ADSCs were isolated and characterized. The function and mechanism of action of miR-183 and arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX5) were investigated by functional experiments in HL-7702 cells with I/R injury and in I/R rats. Our data disclosed that exosome release from ADSCs induced proliferation and inhibited apoptosis in HL-7702 cells with I/R injury. The effect of miR-183 was similar to that of exosomes derived from ADSCs. In addition, ALOX5, as a target gene of miR-183, was involved in the related functions of miR-183. Moreover, in vivo experiments confirmed that miR-183 and exosomes from ADSCs could improve liver injury in rats and inhibit the MAPK and NF-κB pathways. All of these findings demonstrate that exosomes derived from ADSCs have a significant protective effect on hepatic I/R injury by regulating the miR-183/ALOX5 axis, which might provide a therapeutic strategy for liver injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Melasma is a refractory skin disease due to its complex pathogenesis and difficult treatment. Studies have found that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (hUCMSC-Exos) could serve as a novel cell-free therapeutic strategy in regenerative and esthetic medicine. It could potentially treat melasma, but the skin barrier is a challenge. In this study, we aim to explore the safety and efficacy of hUCMSC-Exos in the treatment of melasma and the means to promote its percutaneous penetration. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the animal study about the effect of penetration, percutaneous penetration of PKH67-labeled hUCMSC-Exos was studied under microneedles, 1565 nm nonablative fractional laser (NAFL), and a plasma named Peninsula Blue Aurora Shumin Master (PBASM) treatments, observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. In the clinical application study, 60 patients with melasma treated in our department were divided into four groups. NAFL combined with normal saline treatment was used for Group A. Microneedles, NAFL, and PBASM combined with hUCMSC-Exos treatments were used for Groups B, C, and D, respectively. Each patient received four treatments at 1-month intervals. Assessments were done using the degree of pain posttreatment, melasma area and severity score, improvement rate, physician global assessment score, satisfaction, and complications. RESULTS In the animal study about the effect of penetration, hUCMSC-Exos can penetrate the deep dermis under microneedles, NAFL, and PBASM treatments. In the clinical application study, compared with Group A, Groups B, C, and D showed significantly improved therapeutic effect and patient satisfaction (p < 0.05), and there was no significant difference among Groups B, C, and D.(p > 0.05). Patients in Group B reported higher pain levels than those in the other three groups (p < 0.05); the treatment experience of patients in Group D was better. CONCLUSION hUCMSC-Exos can improve the symptoms of melasma safely and effectively. Compared with microneedles, NAFL and PBASM can also achieve a good effect toward promoting penetration. These findings are worthy of exploration and clinical application.

Abstract
Aging is associated with a decline in the regenerative potential of stem cells. In recent years, several clinical trials have been launched in order to evaluate the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell interventions to slow or reverse normal aging processes (aging conditions). Information concerning those clinical trials was extracted from national and international databases (United States, EU, China, Japan, and World Health Organization). Mesenchymal stem cell preparations were in development for two main aging conditions: physical frailty and facial skin aging. With regard to physical frailty, positive results have been obtained in phase II studies with intravenous Lomecel-B (an allogeneic bone marrow stem cell preparation), and a phase I/II study with an allogeneic preparation of umbilical cord-derived stem cells was recently completed. With regard to facial skin aging, positive results have been obtained with an autologous preparation of adipose-derived stem cells. A further sixteen clinical trials for physical frailty and facial skin aging are currently underway. Reducing physical frailty with intravenous mesenchymal stem cell administration can increase healthy life expectancy and decrease costs to the public health system. However, intravenous administration runs the risk of entrapment of the stem cells in the lungs (and could raise safety concerns). In addition to aesthetic purposes, clinical research on facial skin aging allows direct evaluation of tissue regeneration using sophisticated and precise methods. Therefore, research on both conditions is complementary, which facilitates a global vision.

Abstract
As a principal component of solar radiation, ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure can be harmful depending on the duration and intensity because the human body can easily be exposed to it. Many studies have demonstrated that UVB causes a series of inflammatory and other skin disorders. UVB has been classified as the Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Diverse studies have focused on UVB exposure but the complex perspective of acute and chronic UVB exposure is still lacking. This review presents the differences between acute and chronic exposure to UVB and summarizes public information in terms of toxicogenomic characteristics. We also demonstrated the differences between adverse effects of acute and chronic UVB exposure on the skin system. From the published literatures, we compared the biological pathways predict of the adverse effects caused by each UVB exposure type. Furthermore, our review not only clarifies the differences in each UVB exposure network but also suggests major hub genes related to cellular mechanisms and diseases that are thought to be affected by acute and chronic UVB exposure.

Abstract
In our preliminary study, a hot water extract from the fruits of Morus alba (mulberry) inhibited the secretion of metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) against tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-stimulated human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs), and therefore we researched its active compounds. In the present study, a new phenolic glycoside (oddioside A, 1) and 21 known compounds (2−22) were isolated from the hot water extract from the fruits of M. alba by repeated chromatography. The chemical structure of the new compound 1 was elucidated by its spectroscopic data (1D− and 2D−NMR and HRMS) measurement and by acidic hydrolysis. The presence of sargentodoside E (2), eugenyl glucoside (6), 2-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-4,6-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (7), 7S,8R-erythro-7,9,9’-trihydroxy-3,3’-dimethoxy-8-O-4’-neolignan-4-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (11), pinoresinol-4-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (12), taxifolin-7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (20), and pinellic acid (21) were reported from M. alba for the first time in this study. The new compound oddioside A (1) suppressed the secretion of MMP-1 and increased collagen in TNF-α-stimulated HDFs. In addition, the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) was inhibited by oddioside A. In conclusion, the extract from fruits of M. alba and its constituent oddioside A may be a potential agent to prevent inflammation-related skin aging and other skin disorders.

Abstract
Background Skin ageing caused by long-term ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is a complex biological process that involves multiple signalling pathways. Stem cell-conditioned media is believed to have anti-ageing effects on the skin. The purpose of this study was to explore the biological effects of UVB irradiation and anti-photoaging effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium (hUC-MSC-CM) on HaCaT cells using multi-omics analysis with a novel cellular photoaging model.
Methods A cellular model of photoaging was constructed by irradiating serum-starved HaCaT cells with 20 mJ/cm2 UVB. Transcriptomics and proteomics analyses were used to explore the biological effects of UVB irradiation on photoaged HaCaT cells. Changes in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and migration, the cell cycle, and expression of senescence genes and proteins were measured to assess the protective effects of hUC-MSC-CM in the cellular photoaging model. Results The results of the multi-omics analysis revealed that UVB irradiation affected various biological functions of cells, including cell proliferation and the cell cycle, and induced a senescence-associated secretory phenotype. hUC-MSC-CM treatment reduced cell apoptosis, inhibited G1 phase arrest in the cell cycle, reduced the production of reactive oxygen species, and promoted cell motility. The qRT-PCR results indicated that MYC, IL-8, FGF-1, and EREG were key genes involved in the anti-photoaging effects of hUC-MSC-CM. The western blotting results demonstrated that C-FOS, C-JUN, TGFβ, p53, FGF-1, and cyclin A2 were key proteins involved in the anti-photoaging effects of hUC-MSC-CM. Conclusion Serum-starved HaCaT cells irradiated with 20 mJ/cm2 UVB were used to generate an innovative cellular photoaging model, and hUC-MSC-CM demonstrates potential as an anti-photoaging treatment for skin.

Abstract
Skin is a natural barrier of human body and a visual indicator of aging process. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the sunlight may injure the skin tissues and cause local damage. Besides, it is reported that repetitive or long-term exposure to UV radiation may reduce the collagen production, change the normal skin structure and cause premature skin aging. This is termed "photoaging". The classical symptoms of photoaging include increased roughness, wrinkle formation, mottled pigmentation or even precancerous changes. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a kind of cells with the ability of self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation into many types of cells, like adipocytes, osteoblasts and chondrocytes. Researchers have explored diverse pharmacological actions of MSCs because of their migratory activity, paracrine actions and immunoregulation effects. In recent years, the huge potential of MSCs in preventing skin from photoaging has gained wide attention.

Abstract
Skin aging is predominantly caused by either intrinsic or extrinsic factors, leading to undesirable skin features. Advancements in both molecular and cellular fields have created possibilities in developing novel stem cell-derived active ingredients for cosmeceutical applications and the beauty industry. Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-derived secretomes or conditioned media hold great promise for advancing skin repair and regeneration due to the presence of varying cytokines. These cytokines signal our cells and trigger biological mechanisms associated with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-aging, proliferative, and immunomodulatory effects. In this review, we discuss the potential of MSC secretomes as novel biomaterials for skincare and rejuvenation by illustrating their mechanism of action related to wound healing, anti-aging, and whitening properties. The advantages and disadvantages of secretomes are compared to both plant-based and animal-derived extracts. In addition, this paper reviews the current safety standards, regulations, market products and research work related to the cosmeceutical applications of secretomes along with strategies to maintain and improve the therapeutic efficacy and production of secretomes. The future outlook of beauty industry is also presented. Lastly, we highlight significant challenges to be addressed for the clinical realization of MSC secretomes-based skin therapies as well as providing perspectives for the future direction of secretomes.

Adipose-Derived Stem Cells for Facial Rejuvenation. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12010117.

Abstract
The interest in regenerative medicine is increasing, and it is a dynamically developing branch of aesthetic surgery. Biocompatible and autologous-derived products such as platelet-rich plasma or adult mesenchymal stem cells are often used for aesthetic purposes. Their application originates from wound healing and orthopaedics. Adipose-derived stem cells are a powerful agent in skin rejuvenation. They secrete growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines, stimulate tissue regeneration by promoting the secretion of extracellular proteins and secrete antioxidants that neutralize free radicals. In an office procedure, without cell incubation and counting, the obtained product is stromal vascular fraction, which consists of not only stem cells but also other numerous active cells such as pericytes, preadipocytes, immune cells, and extra-cellular matrix. Adipose-derived stem cells, when injected into dermis, improved skin density and overall skin appearance, and increased skin hydration and number of capillary vessels. The main limitation of mesenchymal stem cell transfers is the survival of the graft. The final outcomes are dependent on many factors, including the age of the patient, technique of fat tissue harvesting, technique of lipoaspirate preparation, and technique of fat graft injection. It is very difficult to compare available studies because of the differences and multitude of techniques used. Fat harvesting is associated with potentially life-threatening complications, such as massive bleeding, embolism, or clots. However, most of the side effects are mild and transient: primarily hematomas, oedema, and mild pain. Mesenchymal stem cells that do not proliferate when injected into dermis promote neoangiogenesis, that is why respectful caution should be taken in the case of oncologic patients. A longer clinical observation on a higher number of participants should be performed to develop reliable indications and guidelines for transferring ADSCs.

Abstract
Ginseng is a widely cultivated perennial plant in China and Korea. Ginsenoside Rk3 is one of the major active components of ginseng and is a promising candidate to regulate skin pigments and exert anti-photoaging effects on skin physiology. Ginsenoside Rk3 was mixed with a cream (G-Rk3 cream) and smeared on the skin of mice. Then, the mice were exposed to ultraviolet (UV) A (340 nm and 40 W) and UVB (313 nm and 40 W) radiation. Special attention was given to the anti-photoaging and anti-inflammatory effects of ginsenoside Rk3 on the mouse skin. Macroscopic evaluation indicated that the mouse dorsal skin looked smooth and plump even under UV irradiation for 12 weeks. Pathological analysis indicated that there was no obvious photoaging or inflammation in the mouse skin that was treated with the G-Rk3 cream. More healthy, intact, and neat collagen fibers were observed in mice treated with the G-Rk3 cream than in untreated mice. Further analysis proved that ginsenoside Rk3 could inhibit the decrease in water and hydroxyproline levels in skin tissues and the loss of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities in the blood. Moreover, ginsenoside Rk3 slowed or halted increases in malondialdehyde, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, and MMP-3 levels in the blood and levels of interleukin 1, interleukin 6, and tumor necrosis factor α in skin tissues. In conclusion, ginsenoside Rk3 plays a significant role in inhibiting photoaging and inflammation to protect skin health.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), naturally secreted by cells, act as mediators for communication between cells. They are transported to the recipient cells along with cargoes such as nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids that reflect the changes occurring within the parent cells. Thus, EVs have been recognized as potential theranostic agents for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. In particular, the evidence accumulated to date suggests an important role of EVs in the initiation and progression of skin aging and various skin diseases, including psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, vitiligo, and chronic wounds. This review highlights recent research that investigates the role of EVs and their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic agents for skin diseases and aging.

Abstract
The skin is a natural barrier against the ultraviolet (UV) radiation of sunlight. The long-term and/or repetitive exposure to the sunlight and related UV radiation may change the skin structure, decreasing collagen production, promoting premature skin aging, which is termed "photoaging". The signs of photoaging include wrinkle formation, mottled pigmentation, and/or cancerous changes. For many years, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) and fat grafting (F-GRF) have been used to combat photoaging signs, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and face soft tissue defects. Several studies have analyzed in vitro actions of AD-MSCs against photoaging's effects, thanks to their migratory activity, paracrine actions, and related in vivo-ex vivo outcomes. In fact, AD-MSCs act against skin photoaging in vitro via activation of dermal fibroblast proliferation, antioxidant effect, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) reduction. In vivo and ex vivo outcomes regard the local injection of AD-MSCs, F-GRF, and/or enriched-F-GRF with AD-MSCs directly in the wrinkles and the face's soft tissue defects. This concise review summarizes the most recent in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo outcomes and developments on the effects of AD-MSCs and F-GRF against photoaging.
