Effects of platelet-rich plasma on human gingival fibroblast proliferation and migration in vitro

Platelet-Rich Plasma in Young and Elderly Humans Exhibits a Different Proteomic Profile

As people age, their ability to resist injury and repair damage decreases significantly. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has demonstrated diverse therapeutic effects on tissue repair. However, the inconsistency of patient outcomes poses a challenge to the practical application of PRP in clinical practice. Furthermore, a comprehensive understanding of the specific impact of aging on PRP requires a systematic investigation. We derived PRP from 6 young volunteers and 6 elderly volunteers, respectively. Subsequently, 95% of high-abundance proteins were removed, followed by mass spectrometry analysis. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with the identifier PXD050061. We detected a total of 739 proteins and selected 311 proteins that showed significant differences, including 76 upregulated proteins in the young group and 235 upregulated proteins in the elderly group. Functional annotation and enrichment analysis unveiled upregulation of proteins associated with cell apoptosis, angiogenesis, and complement and coagulation cascades in the elderly. Conversely, IGF1 was found to be upregulated in the young group, potentially serving as the central source of enhanced cell proliferation ability. Our investigation not only provides insights into standardizing PRP preparation but also offers novel strategies for augmenting the functionality of aging cells or tissues.

Angiogenesis and Tissue Repair Depend on Platelet Dosing and Bioformulation Strategies Following Orthobiological Platelet-Rich Plasma Procedures: A Narrative Review

Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessel from existing vessels and is a critical first step in tissue repair following chronic disturbances in healing and degenerative tissues. Chronic pathoanatomic tissues are characterized by a high number of inflammatory cells; an overexpression of inflammatory mediators; such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 (IL-1); the presence of mast cells, T cells, reactive oxygen species, and matrix metalloproteinases; and a decreased angiogenic capacity. Multiple studies have demonstrated that autologous orthobiological cellular preparations (e.g., platelet-rich plasma (PRP)) improve tissue repair and regenerate tissues. There are many PRP devices on the market. Unfortunately, they differ greatly in platelet numbers, cellular composition, and bioformulation. PRP is a platelet concentrate consisting of a high concentration of platelets, with or without certain leukocytes, platelet-derived growth factors (PGFs), cytokines, molecules, and signaling cells. Several PRP products have immunomodulatory capacities that can influence resident cells in a diseased microenvironment, inducing tissue repair or regeneration. Generally, PRP is a blood-derived product, regardless of its platelet number and bioformulation, and the literature indicates both positive and negative patient treatment outcomes. Strangely, the literature does not designate specific PRP preparation qualifications that can potentially contribute to tissue repair. Moreover, the literature scarcely addresses the impact of platelets and leukocytes in PRP on (neo)angiogenesis, other than a general one-size-fits-all statement that "PRP has angiogenic capabilities". Here, we review the cellular composition of all PRP constituents, including leukocytes, and describe the importance of platelet dosing and bioformulation strategies in orthobiological applications to initiate angiogenic pathways that re-establish microvasculature networks, facilitating the supply of oxygen and nutrients to impaired tissues.

Effectiveness of topical administration of platelet-rich plasma on the healing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-infected full-thickness wound model

This study aimed to investigate the wound-healing activity of animal platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in wounds infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in rats. After wound induction, the rats were divided into three groups: noninfected animals treated with PRP (PRP group), MRSA-infected animals treated with mupirocin (standard control group), and MRSA-infected animals treated with PRP (MRSA+PRP group). Scratch assays, MTT test, and live/dead cells were also investigated. Total bacterial count, parameters of wound area, histopathological assessment, and expressions of IL-1β, TNF-α, iNOS, PDGF, FGF-2, and TGF-β mRNA levels and immunofluorescent staining of CD31 and collagen type 1 were assessed. The results showed that culture with PRP increased migration. PRP only showed cytotoxicity in a concentration of 100%. Topical application of PRP (50 µL) reduced the wound area and total bacterial count compared with the control group (P<0.05). The mRNA levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, and iNOS expression on days 7 and 14 (P<0.05) decreased in the treated groups compared with control rats. The mRNA levels of PDGF and TGF-β expression (P<0.05) increased in the treatment groups compared with control rats on days 3 and 7 (P<0.05). FGF-2 expression was significantly higher in the treated groups compared with the control group on days 7 and 14 (P<0.05). Moreover, positive expressions of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), CD31, collagen type 1 and cytokeratin proteins keratinocyte proliferation, and re-epithelization were significantly (P<0.05) increased in both PRP and MRSA+PRP-treated groups compared with the control groups on days 7 and 14. Topical administration of PRP accelerated the wound healing in MRSA-infected wound by decreasing the inflammation and improving the proliferative phase.

Modifying Orthobiological PRP Therapies Are Imperative for the Advancement of Treatment Outcomes in Musculoskeletal Pathologies

Autologous biological cellular preparations have materialized as a growing area of medical advancement in interventional (orthopedic) practices and surgical interventions to provide an optimal tissue healing environment, particularly in tissues where standard healing is disrupted and repair and ultimately restoration of function is at risk. These cellular therapies are often referred to as orthobiologics and are derived from patient's own tissues to prepare point of care platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow concentrate (BMC), and adipose tissue concentrate (ATC). Orthobiological preparations are biological materials comprised of a wide variety of cell populations, cytokines, growth factors, molecules, and signaling cells. They can modulate and influence many other resident cells after they have been administered in specific diseased microenvironments. Jointly, the various orthobiological cell preparations are proficient to counteract persistent inflammation, respond to catabolic reactions, and reinstate tissue homeostasis. Ultimately, precisely delivered orthobiologics with a proper dose and bioformulation will contribute to tissue repair. Progress has been made in understanding orthobiological technologies where the safety and relatively easy manipulation of orthobiological treatment tools has been demonstrated in clinical applications. Although more positive than negative patient outcome results have been registered in the literature, definitive and accepted standards to prepare specific cellular orthobiologics are still lacking. To promote significant and consistent clinical outcomes, we will present a review of methods for implementing dosing strategies, using bioformulations tailored to the pathoanatomic process of the tissue, and adopting variable preparation and injection volume policies. By optimizing the dose and specificity of orthobiologics, local cellular synergistic behavior will increase, potentially leading to better pain killing effects, effective immunomodulation, control of inflammation, and (neo) angiogenesis, ultimately contributing to functionally restored body movement patterns.

Platelet-Rich Plasma as an Orthobiologic: Clinically Relevant Considerations

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood-derived product processed to concentrate platelets and the associated growth factors. PRP has been shown to be relatively well-tolerated and safe to use for a number of conditions in humans, equines, and canines. There are multiple commercial systems that have been validated for canine use. These systems use a variety of methodologies to produce a PRP product. However, PRP products have been shown to differ greatly between systems. Further study is needed to fully elucidate optimal component concentrations for various indications.

[Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA): a review of the current literature]

BACKGROUND

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections have been reported to be an effective and low side effect treatment for androgenetic alopecia (AGA). However, robust data concerning this therapy are lacking.

AIM

We address some potentially critical aspects of PRP treatment and give some reasons why study results may differ.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

In the following review we give a brief overview of the current literature and compare the results of the various trials.

RESULTS

In recent years, several clinical trials have been published that have revealed different but rather positive results, which offers hope to those affected by AGA and to physicians as well. However, the results were observed in methodologically weak trials and data from randomized controlled trials are lacking. Differences in trial designs have made it difficult to draw concrete conclusions about its clinical efficacy. Even in the studies where no hair-growth-promoting effect could be observed, the majority of subjects were at least satisfied with the result. The combination of several treatment approaches seems to lead to optimal improvement in hair growth.

CONCLUSION

There are many factors that could have influenced the results of the different studies. The results were observed in methodologically weak studies, giving reason for caution when drawing conclusions. Nevertheless, the majority of the subjects were at least satisfied with the result. Given the current low level of evidence, PRP treatments need to be further investigated in larger studies.

The diverse role of oral fibroblasts in normal and disease

Fibroblasts are the major cellular component of the connective tissue. They differ both structurally and functionally based on their location. The oral fibroblasts vary from the dermal fibroblasts in their origin, properties and also functions. These cells play an important role in wound healing, tumor progression and metastasis, allergic reactions. In this review, the various functions of the oral fibroblasts are discussed in detail.

PRP and PRF-Subgroups and Divisions When Used in Dentistry

Blood derivates, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), are autogenous sources of many growth factors that are involved in the healing and regeneration of tissues, and for this reason, are used in dentistry treatments. This fact also contributes to the growing interest in these biomaterials in regenerative personalized medicine. The multitude of platelet-rich forms creates many possibilities for their use. This semi-systematic review describes and compares the methods of obtaining properties and potential uses of these materials in personalized treatments.

Therapeutic candidates for keloid scars identified by qualitative review of scratch assay research for wound healing

The scratch assay is an in vitro technique used to analyze cell migration, proliferation, and cell-to-cell interaction. In the assay, cells are grown to confluence and then ‘scratched’ with a sterile instrument. For the cells in the leading edge, the resulting polarity induces migration and proliferation in attempt to ‘heal’ the modeled wound. Keloid scars are known to have an accelerated wound closure phenotype in the scratch assay, representing an overactivation of wound healing. We performed a qualitative review of the recent literature searching for inhibitors of scratch assay activity that were already available in topical formulations under the hypothesis that such compounds may offer therapeutic potential in keloid treatment. Although several shortcomings in the scratch assay literature were identified, caffeine and allicin successfully inhibited the scratch assay closure and inflammatory abnormalities in the commercially available keloid fibroblast cell line. Caffeine and allicin also impacted ATP production in keloid cells, most notably with inhibition of non-mitochondrial oxygen consumption. The traditional Chinese medicine, shikonin, was also successful in inhibiting scratch closure but displayed less dramatic impacts on metabolism. Together, our results partially summarize the strengths and limitations of current scratch assay literature and suggest clinical assessment of the therapeutic potential for these identified compounds against keloid scars may be warranted.

Synergistic Effects of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma and Hyaluronic Acid Injections on Facial Skin Rejuvenation

BACKGROUND

Many therapeutic options are currently available for facial skin rejuvenation, but little evidence exists about the efficacy of combining such procedures.

OBJECTIVES

The aim of this study was to assess and investigate the synergistic effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) and autologous platelet-rich plasma (a-PRP) injections on facial skin rejuvenation.

METHODS

For this randomized controlled prospective study, 93 eligible patients were enrolled and randomized into 3 intervention groups to undergo a series of 3 treatment sessions with either a-PRP, HA, or a mixture of a-PRP and HA (Cellular Matrix; Regen Lab) injected into facial cheeks.

RESULTS

A total of 93 patients were included. Treatment with Cellular Matrix led to a very significant improvement in the overall facial appearance compared with treatment with a-PRP or HA alone (P < 0.0001). Participants treated with Cellular Matrix showed a 20%, 24%, and 17% increase in FACE-Q score at 1, 3, and 6 months posttreatment, respectively. For the HA group, the improvement in FACE-Q score was 12%, 11%, and 6% at 1, 3, and 6 months posttreatment, respectively, whereas for the a-PRP group the improvement was 9%, 11%, and 8% at 1, 3, and 6 months posttreatment, respectively. Biophysical measurements showed significantly improved skin elasticity for the Cellular Matrix group compared with the groups receiving a-PRP or HA alone. No serious adverse events were reported.

CONCLUSIONS

Combining a-PRP and HA seems to be a promising treatment for facial rejuvenation with a highly significant improvement in facial appearance and skin elasticity compared with a-PRP or HA alone.

The Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on the Intra-Articular Microenvironment in Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) represents a clinical challenge due to poor potential for spontaneous healing of cartilage lesions. Several treatment options are available for KOA, including oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, braces, activity modification, and finally operative treatment. Intra-articular (IA) injections are usually used when the non-operative treatment is not effective, and when the surgery is not yet indicated. More and more studies suggesting that IA injections are as or even more efficient and safe than NSAIDs. Recently, research to improve intra-articular homeostasis has focused on biologic adjuncts, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The catabolic and inflammatory intra-articular processes that exists in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) may be influenced by the administration of PRP and its derivatives. PRP can induce a regenerative response and lead to the improvement of metabolic functions of damaged structures. However, the positive effect on chondrogenesis and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) is still highly controversial. Recommendations from in vitro and animal research often lead to different clinical outcomes because it is difficult to translate non-clinical study outcomes and methodology recommendations to human clinical treatment protocols. In recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding the mechanism of PRP action. In this review, we will discuss mechanisms related to inflammation and chondrogenesis in cartilage repair and regenerative processes after PRP administration in in vitro and animal studies. Furthermore, we review clinical trials of PRP efficiency in changing the OA biomarkers in knee joint.

LPS stimulates gingival fibroblasts to express PD-L1 via the p38 pathway under periodontal inflammatory conditions

OBJECTIVE

The overall aim of this research was to investigate the differences in the expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) between a periodontal healthy group and a periodontal inflammatory group. and explore the possible mechanism involved.

METHODS

Differences in PD-L1 mRNA and protein expression in HGFs from a periodontal healthy group and a periodontal inflammatory group were examined by qPCR and western blotting, respectively, and were further tested after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation in both groups. The effects of a p38 pathway inhibitor on the changes in p38 phosphorylation levels and PD-L1 expression after LPS stimulation were investigated in both groups.

RESULTS

PD-L1 mRNA and protein levels in HGFs in the periodontal inflammatory group were significantly higher than those in the periodontal healthy group (p < 0.05). After 10 μg/mL LPS stimulation, PD-L1 mRNA levels in HGFs from both groups increased significantly (p < 0.05), peaking at 4 h, and the peak was significantly higher in the periodontal inflammatory group than in the periodontal healthy group (p < 0.05). However, PD-L1 protein expression was upregulated only in the inflammatory group (p < 0.05). Inhibition of the p38 pathway in HGFs decreased p38 phosphorylation in both groups (p < 0.05) but this treatment reversed the LPS-induced increase in PD-L1 mRNA and protein levels only in the inflammatory group (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

In the periodontal inflammatory state, the expression of PD-L1 in HGFs is more easily activated, and may be influenced by the p38 pathway.

Effect of Butyric Acid in the Proliferation and Migration of Junctional Epithelium in the Progression of Periodontitis: An In Vitro Study

Purpose: To elucidate the effects of butyric acid (BA), a metabolite of bacteria involved in periodontitis, and a possible enhancer of the junctional epithelial cells. Methods: A murine junctional epithelial cell line, JE-1, was used to assess the effects of sodium butyrate (NaB) as BA. Cell proliferation, migration and attachment were analyzed. Additionally, gene and promoter expression analysis was performed, i.e., cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE) and gene ontology (GO) term enrichment analysis. Results: NaB affected junctional epithelial cell proliferation, migration and attachment. A high concentration of NaB caused cell death and a low concentration tended to promote migration and adhesion. CAGE analysis revealed 75 upregulated and 96 downregulated genes in the cells after 0.2 mM NaB stimulation for 3 h. Regarding GO term enrichment, the genes upregulated >4-fold participated predominantly in cell migration and proliferation. The results of this study suggest that BA produced from periodontopathic bacteria is involved in periodontal tissue destruction at high concentrations. Furthermore, at low concentrations, BA potentially participates in periodontal disease progression by increasing proliferation, migration and attachment of the junctional epithelium and thereby increasing epithelial down-growth.

Platelet Rich Plasma in Orthopedic Surgical Medicine

There is a global interest in optimizing post-surgical tissue repair strategies, leading to better patient outcomes and fewer complications, most ideally with reduced overall cost. In this regard, in recent years, the interest in autologous biological treatments in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine has increased greatly, and the addition of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to the surgical armamentarium is of particular note. Unfortunately, the number of PRP preparation devices has also grown immensely over the recent decades, raising meaningful concern for the considerable variation in the qualities of currently available PRP preparations. The lack of consensus on the standardization of PRP preparation and of agreement on condition specific PRP formulations is largely responsible for the sometimes contradictory outcomes in the literature. Furthermore, the full potential of PRP technology, the concept of individualized treatment protocols based on bioformulation options, and platelet dosing, angiogenesis, and antimicrobial and painkilling effects of PRP relevant to orthopedic surgery have rarely been addressed. In this review, we will discuss recent developments regarding PRP preparations and potential therapeutic effects. Additionally, we present a synopsis of several published data regarding PRP applications in orthopedic surgery for treating tendon injuries, inducing bone repair, strengthening spinal fusion outcomes, and supporting major joint replacements.

Platelet-Rich Plasma: New Performance Understandings and Therapeutic Considerations in 2020

Emerging autologous cellular therapies that utilize platelet-rich plasma (PRP) applications have the potential to play adjunctive roles in a variety of regenerative medicine treatment plans. There is a global unmet need for tissue repair strategies to treat musculoskeletal (MSK) and spinal disorders, osteoarthritis (OA), and patients with chronic complex and recalcitrant wounds. PRP therapy is based on the fact that platelet growth factors (PGFs) support the three phases of wound healing and repair cascade (inflammation, proliferation, remodeling). Many different PRP formulations have been evaluated, originating from human, in vitro, and animal studies. However, recommendations from in vitro and animal research often lead to different clinical outcomes because it is difficult to translate non-clinical study outcomes and methodology recommendations to human clinical treatment protocols. In recent years, progress has been made in understanding PRP technology and the concepts for bioformulation, and new research directives and new indications have been suggested. In this review, we will discuss recent developments regarding PRP preparation and composition regarding platelet dosing, leukocyte activities concerning innate and adaptive immunomodulation, serotonin (5-HT) effects, and pain killing. Furthermore, we discuss PRP mechanisms related to inflammation and angiogenesis in tissue repair and regenerative processes. Lastly, we will review the effect of certain drugs on PRP activity, and the combination of PRP and rehabilitation protocols.
