Abstract
Vascular cell adhesion is a complex orchestration of events that commonly feature lectin-ligand interactions between circulating cells, such as immune, stem, and tumor cells, and endothelial cells (ECs) lining post-capillary venules. Characteristically, circulating cell adherence to the vasculature endothelium is initiated through interactions between surface sialo-fucosylated glycoprotein ligands and lectins, specifically platelet (P)- or endothelial (E)-selectin on ECs or between leukocyte (L)-selectin on circulating leukocytes and L-selectin ligands on ECs, culminating in circulating cell extravasation. This lectin-ligand interplay enables the migration of immune cells into specific tissue sites to help maintain effective immunosurveillance and inflammation control, the homing of stem cells to bone marrow or tissues in need of repair, and, unfortunately, in some cases, the dissemination of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) to distant metastatic sites. Interestingly, there is a growing body of evidence showing that the family of β-galactoside-binding lectins, known as galectins, can also play pivotal roles in the adhesion of circulating cells to the vascular endothelium. In this review, we present contemporary knowledge on the significant roles of host- and/or tumor-derived galectin (Gal)-3, -8, and -9 in facilitating the adhesion of circulating cells to the vascular endothelium either directly by acting as bridging molecules or indirectly by triggering signaling pathways to express adhesion molecules on ECs. We also explore strategies for interfering with galectin-mediated adhesion to attenuate inflammation or hinder the metastatic seeding of CTCs, which are often rich in galectins and/or their glycan ligands.

Pristine gelatin incorporation as a strategy to enhance the biofunctionality of poly(vinyl alcohol)-based hydrogels for tissue engineering applications. Biomater Sci 2023; 12:134-150.

Abstract
Synthetic polymers, such as poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), are popular biomaterials for the fabrication of hydrogels for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) applications, as they provide excellent control over the physico-chemical properties of the hydrogel. However, their bioinert nature is known to limit cell-biomaterial interactions by hindering cell infiltration, blood vessel recruitment and potentially limiting their integration with the host tissue. Efforts in the field have therefore focused on increasing the biofunctionality of synthetic hydrogels, without limiting the advantages associated with their tailorability and controlled release capacity. The aim of this study was to investigate the suitability of pristine gelatin to enhance the biofunctionality of tyraminated PVA (PVA-Tyr) hydrogels, by promoting cell infiltration and host blood vessel recruitment for TERM applications. Pure PVA-Tyr hydrogels and PVA-Tyr hydrogels incorporated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a well-known pro-angiogenic stimulus, were used for comparison. Incorporating increasing concentrations of VEGF (0.01-10 μg mL-1) or gelatin (0.01-5 wt%) did not influence the physical properties of PVA-Tyr hydrogels. However, their presence within the polymer network (>0.1 μg mL-1 VEGF and >0.1 wt% gelatin) promoted endothelial cell interactions with the hydrogels. The covalent binding of unmodified gelatin or VEGF to the PVA-Tyr network did not hamper their inherent bioactivity, as they both promoted angiogenesis in a chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay, performing comparably with the unbound VEGF control. When the PVA-Tyr hydrogels were implanted subcutaneously in mice, it was observed that cell infiltration into the hydrogels was possible in the absence of gelatin or VEGF at 1- or 3-weeks post-implantation, highlighting a clear difference between in vitro an in vivo cell-biomaterial interaction. Nevertheless, the presence of gelatin or VEGF was necessary to enhance blood vessel recruitment and infiltration, although no significant difference was observed between these two biological molecules. Overall, this study highlights the potential of gelatin as a standalone pro-angiogenic cue to enhance biofunctionality of synthetic hydrogels and provides promise for their use in a variety of TERM applications.

J Cell Mol Med 2023; 27:3451-3464. [PMID: 37603612 PMCID: PMC10660608 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.17915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2023] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Pathological myocardial remodelling is the initial factor of chronic heart failure (CHF) and is induced by multiple factors. We previously demonstrated that histone acetylation is involved in CHF in transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mice, a model for pressure overload-induced heart failure. In this study, we investigated whether the histone deacetylase Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), which mediates deacetylation of histone 3 acetylated at lysine 9 (H3K9ac), is involved pathological myocardial remodelling by regulating myocardial energy metabolism and explored the underlying mechanisms. We generated a TAC mouse model by partial thoracic aortic banding. TAC mice were injected with the SIRT6 agonist MDL-800 at a dose of 65 mg/kg for 8 weeks. At 4, 8 and 12 weeks after TAC, the level of H3K9ac increased gradually, while the expression of SIRT6 and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) decreased gradually. MDL-800 reversed the effects of SIRT6 on H3K9ac in TAC mice and promoted the expression of VEGFA in the hearts of TAC mice. MDL-800 also attenuated mitochondria damage and improved mitochondrial respiratory function through upregulating SIRT6 in the hearts of TAC mice. These results revealed a novel mechanism in which SIRT6-mediated H3K9ac level is involved pathological myocardial remodelling in TAC mice through regulating myocardial energy metabolism. These findings may assist in the development of novel methods for preventing and treating pathological myocardial remodelling.

Abstract
As a novel non-coding RNA with important functions corresponding to various cellular stresses, the function of tRFs in angiogenesis remains unclear. Firstly, small RNA sequencing was performed on normal and post-muscle injury mouse tibialis anterior muscle to identify and analyse differentially expressed tRF/tiRNA. tRNA GlnCTG-derived fragments (tRFGlnCTG) were found to be overexpressed in high abundance in the damaged muscle. Subsequent in vitro experiments revealed that the overexpression of tRFGlnCTG suppressed the vascular endothelial cells' viability, cell cycle G1/S transition, proliferation, migration, and tube-formation capacity. Similarly, in vivo experiments showed that the tRFGlnCTG decreased the relative mRNA levels of vascular endothelial cell markers and pro-angiogenic factors and reduced the proportion of CD31-positive cells. Finally, luciferase activity analysis confirmed that the tRFGlnCTG directly targeted the 3'UTR of Antxr1, leading to a significant reduction in the mRNA expression of the target gene. These results suggest that tRFGlnCTG is a key regulator of vascular endothelial cell function. The results provide a new idea for further exploration of the molecular mechanisms that regulate angiogenesis.

Abstract
Biomedical implants possessing the structural and functional characteristics of extracellular matrix (ECM) are pivotal for vascular applications. This study investigated the potential of recreating a natural ECM-like structural and functional environment on the surface of biodegradable polymeric nanotextiles for vascular implants. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were grown on a suitably engineered polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibrous textile and were allowed to modify its surface through the deposition of MSC-specific ECM. This surface-modified nanotextile showed mechanical characteristics and functionality appropriate for vascular patch material. The uniformity of ECM coating significantly improved the viability, proliferation, and migration of human endothelial cells compared to bare and xenogeneic collagen-coated PCL nanotextile patches. Thus, a polymeric nanotextile, which is surface modified using MSC-driven ECM, provided a rapid and improved endothelialization, thereby suggesting its potential for vascular patch applications.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have exhibited great potential as a regenerative medicine, and MSC-derived paracrine effects, mainly including the secretion of various bioactive factors, play critical roles in MSC-based therapies. MSC-derived serum-free conditioned medium (MSC-CM) is defined as the secretome of MSC-derived bioactive factors and is considered a new cell-free therapeutic agent for disease treatment. However, the MSC-CM used in previous studies was prepared by a nearly disposable method that the MSCs were discarded after preparing MSC-CM, and the preparation time was variable; simultaneously, the viability changes of MSCs after MSC-CM preparation are still unknown. Therefore, this study takes MenSCs as a research project and aims to explore the suitable period of sustainable MenSC-CM preparation rather than using a disposable method. As expected, our results confirmed that MenSC-CM improves viability of both naïve targeted cells and H2O2-injured targeted cells, and suggested that 36 h is suitable for sustainable MenSC-CM preparation in which the angiogenic factors almost reach to the peak. Simultaneously, the MenSCs used to prepare the MenSC-CM for 36 h also maintained preferable cell viability and could be sustainably used for further MenSC-CM preparation. Moreover, the in vivo results further confirmed the improvement of MenSC-CM on promoting skin wound healing. Consequently, our results not only provide support for optimizing MSC-CM sustainable preparation based on various MSCs but also promote the comprehensive application of MenSCs in the clinic.

Abstract
Producing tremendous amounts of stress and financial burden on the global patient population and healthcare systems around the world, most current modalities of treatment for musculoskeletal ailments often do not address the etiopathogenetic causes of these disorders. Regenerative medicine for musculoskeletal disorders relies on orthobiologics derived from either allogenic or autologous sources. Multiple drawbacks are associated with autologous sources, including donor-site morbidity, a dearth of studies, and variability in both patient reported and clinical/functional outcomes. On the other hand, allogenic sources address several of these concerns, and continue to be a suitable source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This review qualitatively reports both the preclinical and clinical outcomes of publications studying the applications of umbilical cord (-derived Wharton's jelly), amniotic suspension allograft, amniotic membrane, and amniotic fluid in musculoskeletal medicine. A systematic review was conducted utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines on studies published between January 2010 and October 2022 that used allogeneic perinatal tissues. Further randomized controlled clinical studies are necessary to properly evaluate the safety and efficacy of these tissues in orthopedic surgery.

Abstract
Recent evidence indicates that targeting IL-6 provides broad therapeutic approaches to several diseases. In patients with cancer, autoimmune diseases, severe respiratory infections [e.g. coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)] and wound healing, IL-6 plays a critical role in modulating the systemic and local microenvironment. Elevated serum levels of IL-6 interfere with the systemic immune response and are associated with disease progression and prognosis. As already noted, monoclonal antibodies blocking either IL-6 or binding of IL-6 to receptors have been used/tested successfully in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, many cancer types, and COVID-19. Therefore, in the present review, we compare the impact of IL-6 and anti-IL-6 therapy to demonstrate common (pathological) features of the studied diseases such as formation of granulation tissue with the presence of myofibroblasts and deposition of new extracellular matrix. We also discuss abnormal activation of other wound-healing-related pathways that have been implicated in autoimmune disorders, cancer or COVID-19.
