Prevention of supercritical carbon dioxide fluid extract from Chrysanthemum indicum Linnén on cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas progression following UV irradiation in mice. Exp Ther Med 2024; 28:330. [PMID: 38979021 PMCID: PMC11229401 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2024.12619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Chrysanthemum indicum Linnén (C. indicum), a medicinal and food herb with various bioactive components, may be of beneficial use in cosmetics and the treatment of skin-related diseases. However, to date, few studies have been reported on its potential preventive and therapeutic effects on skin cancer. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect and potential mechanism of action of supercritical carbon dioxide extract from C. indicum (CISCFE) on UV-induced skin cancer in a mouse model. Kunming mice were allocated randomly to five treatment groups: Sham, model, low concentration CISCFE, high concentration CISCFE and positive control nicotinamide groups. The dorsal skin of mice was irradiated with UV light for 31 weeks. Histopathological changes, ELISA assays, immunohistochemical analysis and western blotting were performed to investigate the potential therapeutic effects of CISCFE. The results showed that CISCFE alleviated skin oxidative and inflammatory damage in a UV-induced mouse model of skin cancer. Moreover, CISCFE suppressed abnormal activation of proto-oncogene c-Myc and the overexpression of Ki-67 and VEGF, and increased expression of the anti-oncogene PTEN, thereby reducing abnormal proliferation of the epidermis and blood vessels. Additionally, CISCFE increased the protein expression levels of NAD-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin-1 (SIRT1), Kelch-like ECH associated protein 1 (Keap1) and inhibited the expression of nuclear factor 2 erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), phosphorylated (p)-p62 (Ser 349), p-p65 and acetyl-p65 proteins in a UV-induced skin cancer mouse model. In summary, CISCFE exhibited potent anti-skin cancer activity, which may be attributed its potential effects on the p62/Keap1-Nrf2 and SIRT1/NF-κB pathways.

Adaptor protein 14-3-3zeta promotes corneal wound healing via regulating cell homeostasis, a potential novel therapy for corneal injury. Exp Eye Res 2024; 244:109948. [PMID: 38815790 DOI: 10.1016/j.exer.2024.109948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
Severe corneal injury can lead to blindness even after prompt treatment. 14-3-3zeta, a member of an adaptor protein family, contributes to tissue repair by enhancing cellular viability and inhibiting fibrosis and inflammation in renal disease or arthritis. However, its role in corneal regeneration is less studied. In this study, filter disc of 2-mm diameter soaked in sodium hydroxide with a concentration of 0.5 N was placed at the center of the cornea for 30 s to establish a mouse model of corneal alkali injury. We found that 14-3-3zeta, which is mainly expressed in the epithelial layer, was upregulated following injury. Overexpression of 14-3-3zeta in ocular tissues via adeno-associated virus-mediated subconjunctival delivery promoted corneal wound healing, showing improved corneal structure and transparency. In vitro studies on human corneal epithelial cells showed that 14-3-3zeta was critical for cell proliferation and migration. mRNA-sequencing in conjunction with KEGG analysis and validation experiments revealed that 14-3-3zeta regulated the mRNA levels of ITGB1, PIK3R1, FGF5, PRKAA1 and the phosphorylation level of Akt, suggesting the involvement of the PI3K-Akt pathway in 14-3-3zeta-mediated tissue repair. 14-3-3zeta is a potential novel therapeutic candidate for treating severe corneal injury.

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
How to effectively repair cutaneous wounds and promote skin rejuvenation has always been a challenging issue for clinical medicine and medical aesthetics. Current conventional medicines exhibit several drawbacks, including limited therapeutic effects, prolonged treatment periods, and high costs. As a novel cell-free therapy, the umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UCMSC) secretome may offer a promising approach for skin regeneration and rejuvenation. The UCMSC secretome is a collection of all proteins secreted by mesenchymal stem cells, including conditioned media, exosomes, and other substances. The UCMSC secretome has numerous abilities to accelerate acute wound healing, including high fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferative activity, pro-angiogenesis, anti-inflammation, anti-fibrosis, and anti-oxidative stress. Its impact on the four stages of wound healing is manifested by inducing the haemostasis phase, inhibiting the inflammation phase, promoting the proliferation phase, and regulating the remodelling phase. Furthermore, it is highly effective in the treatment of chronic wounds, alopecia, aging, and skin homeostasis disturbance. This review focuses on the clinical therapies and application prospects of the UCMSC secretome, encompassing its source, culture, separation, identification, storage, and pretreatment. Additionally, a discussion on the dosage, administration route, efficacy, and biosafety in the clinical situation is presented. This review aims to provide scientific support for the mechanistic investigation and clinical utilisation of the UCMSC secretome in wound healing and skin rejuvenation.

Abstract
Owing to its constant exposure to the external environment and various stimuli, skin ranks among the organs most vulnerable to manifestations of aging. Preventing and delaying skin aging has become one of the prominent research subjects in recent years. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells derived from mesoderm with high self-renewal ability and multilineage differentiation potential. MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) are nanoscale biological vesicles that facilitate intercellular communication and regulate biological behavior. Recent studies have shown that MSC-EVs have potential applications in anti-aging therapy due to their anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative stress, and wound healing promoting abilities. This review presents the latest progress of MSC-EVs in delaying skin aging. It mainly includes the MSC-EVs promoting the proliferation and migration of keratinocytes and fibroblasts, reducing the expression of matrix metalloproteinases, resisting oxidative stress, and regulating inflammation. We then briefly discuss the recently discovered treatment methods of MSC-EVs in the field of skin anti-aging. Moreover, the advantages and limitations of EV-based treatments are also presented.

Abstract
Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles secreted by most cell types, which are filled with proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids (non-coding RNAs, mRNA, DNA), can be released by donor cells to subsequently modulate the function of recipient cells. Skin photoaging is the premature aging of the skin structures over time due to repeated exposure to ultraviolet (UV) which is evidenced by dyspigmentation, telangiectasias, roughness, rhytides, elastosis, and precancerous changes. Exosomes are associated with aging-related processes including, oxidative stress, inflammation, and senescence. Anti-aging features of exosomes have been implicated in various in vitro and pre-clinical studies. Stem cell-derived exosomes can restore skin physiological function and regenerate or rejuvenate damaged skin tissue through various mechanisms such as decreased expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), increased collagen and elastin production, and modulation of intracellular signaling pathways as well as, intercellular communication. All these evidences are promising for the therapeutic potential of exosomes in skin photoaging. This review aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms and the effects of exosomes in photoaging.

Abstract
The term extracellular vesicles (EVs) refers to a variety of heterogeneous nanovesicles secreted by almost all cell types, primarily for intercellular communication and maintaining cellular homeostasis. The role of EVs has been widely reported in the genesis and progression of multiple pathological conditions, and these vesicles are suggested to serve as 'liquid biopsies'. In addition to their use as biomarkers, EVs secreted by specific cell types, especially with stem cell properties, have shown promise as cell-free nanotherapeutics. Stem cell-derived EVs (SC-EVs) have been increasingly used as an attractive alternative to stem cell therapies and have been reported to promote regeneration of aging-associated tissue loss and function. SC-EVs treatment ameliorates brain and peripheral aging, reproductive dysfunctions and inhibits cellular senescence, thereby reversing several aging-related disorders and dysfunctions. The anti-aging therapeutic potential of SC-EVs depends on multiple factors, including the type of stem cells, the age of the source stem cells, and their physiological state. In this review, we briefly describe studies related to the promising effects of SC-EVs against various aging-related pathologies, and then we focus in-depth on the therapeutic benefits of SC-EVs against Alzheimer's disease, one of the most devastating neurodegenerative diseases in elderly individuals. Numerous studies in transgenic mouse models have reported the usefulness of SC-EVs in targeting the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, including amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and neuroinflammation, leading to improved neuronal protection, synaptic plasticity, and cognitive measures. Cell culture studies have further identified the underlying molecular mechanisms through which SC-EVs reduce amyloid beta (Aβ) levels or shift microglia phenotype from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory state. Interestingly, multiple routes of administration, including nasal delivery, have confirmed that SC-EVs could cross the blood-brain barrier. Due to this, SC-EVs have also been tested to deliver specific therapeutic cargo molecule/s (e.g., neprilysin) to the brain. Despite these promises, several challenges related to quality control, scalability, and biodistribution remain, hindering the realization of the vast clinical promise of SC-EVs.

Abstract
Introduction The skin is a vital organ as the body's largest barrier, but its function declines with aging. Therefore, research into effective regeneration treatments must continue to advance. Stem cell transplantation, a cell-based therapy, has become a popular skin-aging treatment, although it comes with drawbacks like host immune reactions. Stem cell-derived cell-free therapies have emerged as an alternative, backed by promising preclinical findings. Stem cell secretomes and extracellular vesicles (EVs) are the key components in cell-free therapy from stem cells. However, comprehensive reviews on the mechanisms of such treatments for skin aging are still limited. Purpose This review discusses stem cell-derived cell-free therapy's potential mechanisms of action related to skin aging prevention by identifying specific molecular targets suitable for the interventions. Methods A search identified 27 relevant in vitro studies on stem cell-derived cell-free therapy interventions in skin aging model cells without restricting publication years using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Results Stem cell-derived cell-free therapy can prevent skin aging through various mechanisms, such as (1) involvement of multiple regenerative pathways [NFkb, AP-1, MAPK, P-AKT, NRF2, SIRT-1]; (2) oxidative stress regulation [by reducing oxidants (HO-1, NQO1) and enhancing antioxidants (SOD1, CAT, GP, FRAP)]; (3) preventing ECM degradation [by increasing elastin, collagen, HA, TIMP, and reducing MMP]; (4) regulating cell activity [by reducing cell senescence (SA-β-gal), apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest (P53, P12, P16); and enhancing autophagy, cell migration, and cell proliferation (Ki67)] (5) Regulating the inflammatory pathway [by reducing IL-6, IL-1, TNF-⍺, and increasing TGF-β]. Several clinical trials have also revealed improvements in wrinkles, elasticity, hydration, pores, and pigmentation. Conclusion Stem cell-derived cell-free therapy is a potential novel treatment for skin aging by cell rejuvenation through various molecular mechanisms.

Cell Signal 2023; 111:110878. [PMID: 37657586 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.110878] [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: 04/05/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023]
Abstract
Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent that is used extensively to treat solid tumors; however, its clinical application is limited by side effects, especially nephrotoxicity. Cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by DNA damage, cell-cycle arrest, and mitochondrial oxidative stress. Recent research demonstrated that 14-3-3ζ plays an important role in cancers, nerve disease, and kidney disease, although the regulatory mechanisms underlying cisplatin-induced AKI have yet to be fully elucidated. In the present study, we found that 14-3-3ζ mRNA was upregulated in human kidney organoids (GSE145085) when treated with cisplatin; subsequently, this was confirmed in experimental mice. The application of a protein interaction inhibitor for 14-3-3 (BV02) resulted in a decline in renal function, along with apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress in cisplatin-induced AKI. Accordingly, the knockdown of 14-3-3ζ in cisplatin-treated NRK-52E cells led to increased apoptosis, cell-cycle arrest, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lipid dysbolism. Furthermore, the blockade of 14-3-3ζ, both in vivo and in vitro, suppressed β-catenin and its nuclear translocation, thus downregulating expression of the downstream gene cyclin D1 in cisplatin-induced damage. In contrast, the overexpression of 14-3-3ζ alleviated the injury caused by cisplatin both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, a non-specific agonist of β-catenin, BIO, reversed the effects of 14-3-3ζ knockdown in terms of cisplatin-induced damage in NRK-52E cells by activating β-catenin. Next, we verified the direct interaction between 14 - 3-3ζ and β-catenin by CO-IP and immunofluorescence. Collectively, these findings indicate that 14-3-3ζ protects against cisplatin-induced AKI by improving mitochondrial function and the balance between proliferation and apoptosis by facilitating the nuclear translocation of β-catenin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin photoaging is a condition caused by long-term exposure to ultraviolet irradiation, resulting in a variety of changes in the skin, such as capillary dilation, increased or absent pigmentation, dryness, sagging, and wrinkles. Stem cells possess a remarkable antioxidant capacity and the ability to proliferate, differentiate, and migrate, and their main mode of action is through paracrine secretion, with exosomes being the primary form of secretion. Stem cell-derived exosomes contain a variety of growth factors and cytokines and may have great potential to promote skin repair and delay skin ageing. METHODS This review focuses on the mechanisms of UV-induced skin photoaging, the research progress of stem cell exosomes against skin photoaging, emerging application approaches and limitations in the application of exosome therapy. RESULT Exosomes derived from various stem cells have the potential to prevent skin photoaging. CONCLUSION The combination with novel materials may be a key step for their practical application, which could be an important direction for future basic research and practical applications.

Abstract
UVB-induced photoaging is characterized by wrinkle formation, slackness and senile plaques, affecting the health and beauty of human being. Our previous study revealed that exosomes derived from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) could efficiently alleviate UVB-induced photodamage. However, the functional ingredients in exosomes were undefined. LncRNA H19, one of the well-researched lncRNAs in exosomes, exhibits multiple physiological effects. This study aims to demonstrate the photo-protective role of lncRNA H19 on skin photoaging in UVB-irradiated human skin fibroblasts cells (HSFs) and Kunming mice. LncRNA H19-overexpressing exosomes (H19-Exo) were isolated from the supernatant of ADSCs infected with lncRNA H19-loaded lentivirus. The results showed that H19-Exo significantly inhibited MMPs production, DNA damage and ROS generation while enhancing procollagen type I synthesis in UVB-irradiated HSFs. Meanwhile, H19-Exo markedly reversed epidermal thickening and collagen degradation in UVB-irradiated mice. Furthermore, luciferase reporter assays indicated that lncRNA H19 acted as a sponge for miR-138 expression, and SIRT1 was targeted by miR-138. Evidence from both in vitro and in vivo studies also revealed that H19-Exo could enhance SIRT1 expression by knocking down miR-138. In conclusion, lncRNA H19 served as a therapeutic candidate in treating UVB-induced skin photoaging by upregulation of SIRT1 via miR-138.

Abstract
UVB radiation can damage human skin, whereas Ginsenoside Rg3, the active ingredient in red ginseng that is processed from ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer), could inhibit UVB induced cell damage through anti-oxidation. Meanwhile, P407/CS/HA hydrogel has significant biomedical applications as carriers of drugs. However, the beneficial effects of Rg3-loaded hydrogel (Rg3-Gel) on human HaCaT keratinocytes induced by UVB have rarely been reported. In our study, Rg3 was loaded into hydrogel and the effect of Rg3-Gel against UVB‑induced Hacat cells damages was determined by measuring its ability to alleviate UVB‑induced elevation of oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory and apoptotic response. We found that the treatment with Rg3-Gel inhibited the generation of intracellular ROS and MDA and upregulated the expression of antioxidant enzymes SOD and GSH-Px which were inhibited by UVB exposure. Increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF‑α, COX‑2, iNOS and IL‑1β following UVB irradiation were suppressed by the introduction of Rg3-Gel. Additionally, the level of Bcl-2 was decreased and the expression of Bax and Caspase3 were enhanced by Rg3-Gel treatment. In conclusion, Rg3-Gel equipped with the synergistic effect of Rg3 and hydrogel has an effective inhibitory effect on UVB-induced oxidative stress, inflammatory and apoptosis.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a prevalent central nervous system disease with a high disability rate, leading to the loss of motor and sensory nerve function. Due to the complex pathophysiology of SCI, more effective clinical treatment strategies are needed. Research has indicated the considerable potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EVs) as a cell-free therapy in SCI repair and regeneration due to their ability to regulate immune cell activity and stimulate damaged neuron regeneration. Moreover, applying MSCs and engineered EVs can fully exploit the potential of MSC-EVs in spinal cord repair. Here, we outline the pathological process of SCI and its current clinical treatment status, summarize the latest MSC-EVs research and its pretreatment and engineering strategies in SCI treatment, and explore MSC-EVs application prospects.

Abstract
Stem cell-derived exosomes (SC-Exos) have been shown to protect cells from chemical-induced deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage. However, there has been no systematic comparison of the efficacy of exosomes against different types of DNA damage. Therefore, in this study, we assessed the protective effect of exosomes derived from human embryonic stem cell-induced mesenchymal stem cells (hESC-MSC-Exos) on two types of DNA damage, namely, intra-/inter-strand crosslinks and DNA double-strand breaks induced by cisplatin (Pt) and bleomycin (BLM), respectively, in HeLa cells. The alkaline comet assay demonstrated that hESC-MSC-Exos effectively inhibited Pt- and BLM-induced DNA damage in a dose-dependent manner. When the concentration of hESC-MSC-Exos reaches 2.0 × 106 and 4.0 × 106 particles/mL in Pt- and BLM-treated groups, respectively, there was a significant decrease in tail DNA percentage (Pt: 20.80 ± 1.61 vs 9.40 ± 1.14, p < 0.01; BLM: 21.80 ± 1.31 vs 6.70 ± 0.60, p < 0.01), tail moment (Pt: 10.00 ± 1.21 vs 2.08 ± 0.51, p < 0.01; BLM: 12.00 ± 0.81 vs 2.00 ± 0.21, p < 0.01), and olive tail moment (Pt: 6.01 ± 0.55 vs 2.09 ± 0.25, p < 0.01; BLM: 6.03 ± 0.37 vs 1.53 ± 0.13, p < 0.01). Phospho-histone H2AX (γH2AX) immunofluorescence and western blotting showed an over 50 % decrease in γH2AX expression when the cells were pretreated with hESC-MSC-Exos. As reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important mediators of Pt- and BLM-induced DNA damage, dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate staining indicated that hESC-MSC-Exos inhibited the increase in intracellular ROS in drug-treated cells. In conclusion, our findings suggest that hESC-MSC-Exos can protect cells from the two types of DNA-damaging drugs and that reduced intracellular ROS is involved in this effect.

Abstract
The skin is the organ that serves as the outermost layer of protection against injury, pathogens, and homeostasis with external factors; in turn, it can be damaged by factors such as burns, trauma, exposure to ultraviolet light (UV), infrared radiation (IR), activating signaling pathways such as Toll-like receptors (TLR) and Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), among others, causing a need to subsequently repair and regenerate the skin. However, pathologies such as diabetes lengthen the inflammatory stage, complicating the healing process and, in some cases, completely inhibiting it, generating susceptibility to infections. Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles that can be isolated and purified from different sources such as blood, urine, breast milk, saliva, urine, umbilical cord bile cells, and mesenchymal stem cells. They have bioactive compounds that, thanks to their paracrine activity, have proven to be effective as anti-inflammatory agents, inducers of macrophage polarization and accelerators of skin repair and regeneration, reducing the possible complications relating to poor wound repair, and prolonged inflammation. This review provides information on the use of exosomes as a promising therapy against damage from UV light, infrared radiation, burns, and skin disorders.

Abstract
Ageing is a universal and unavoidable phenomenon that significantly increases the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). It has been reported that ageing is associated with functional disruption and structural damage to the kidneys. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are nanoscale membranous vesicles containing lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, are secreted by cells into the extracellular spaces. They have diverse functions such as repairing and regenerating different forms of ageing-related CKD and playing a crucial role in intercellular communication. This paper reviews the etiology of ageing in CKD, with particular attention paid to the roles of EVs as carriers of ageing signals and anti-ageing therapeutic strategies in CKD. In this regard, the double-edged role of EVs in ageing-related CKD is examined, along with the potential for their application in clinical settings.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from multiple tissues have the capability of multidirectional differentiation and self-renewal. Many reports indicated that MSCs exert curative effects on a variety of age-related diseases through regeneration and repair of aging cells and organs. However, as research has progressed, it has become clear that it is the MSCs derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) that may have a real role to play, and that they can be modified to achieve better therapeutic results, making them even more advantageous than MSCs for treating disease. This review generalizes the biological characteristics of MSCs and exosomes and their mechanisms in treating age-related diseases, for example, MSCs and their exosomes can treat age-related diseases through mechanisms such as oxidative stress (OS), Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathway, and so on. In addition, current in vivo and in vitro trials are described, and ongoing clinical trials are discussed, as well as the prospects and challenges for the future use of exosomes in disease treatment. This review will provide references for using exosomes to treat age-related diseases.

Abstract
In multicellular organisms, interactions between cells and intercellular communications form the very basis of the organism’s survival, the functioning of its systems, the maintenance of homeostasis and adequate response to the environment. The accumulated experimental data point to the particular importance of intercellular communications in determining the fate of cells, as well as their differentiation and plasticity. For a long time, it was believed that the properties and behavior of cells were primarily governed by the interactions of secreted or membrane-bound ligands with corresponding receptors, as well as direct intercellular adhesion contacts. In this review, we describe various types of other, non-classical intercellular interactions and communications that have recently come into the limelight—in particular, the broad repertoire of extracellular vesicles and membrane protrusions. These communications are mediated by large macromolecular structural and functional ensembles, and we explore here the mechanisms underlying their formation and present current data that reveal their roles in multiple biological processes. The effects mediated by these new types of intercellular communications in normal and pathological states, as well as therapeutic applications, are also discussed. The in-depth study of novel intercellular interaction mechanisms is required for the establishment of effective approaches for the control and modification of cell properties both for basic research and the development of radically new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Regenerative aesthetics is a burgeoning field for skin rejuvenation and skin health restoration. Exosomes, or extracellular vesicles, represent a new and minimally invasive addition to the regenerative aesthetic toolbox. These nano-sized vesicles contain bioactive cargo with crucial roles in intercellular communication. Exosome technology, while still in its infancy, is now leveraged in regenerative aesthetic medicine due to its multifaceted role in targeting root causes of skin aging and improving overall tissue homeostasis. The main considerations for practice utilization include variation in exosome purification, isolation, storage, scalability and reproducibility. This review aims at highlighting the current and emerging landscape of exosomes in aesthetic medicine including skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a type of iron-dependent cell death caused by ferrous iron overload, reactive oxygen species generation through the Fenton reaction, and lipid peroxidation, leading to antioxidative system dysfunction and, ultimately, cell membrane damage. The functional role of ferroptosis in human physiology and pathology is considered a cause or consequence of diseases. Circulating exosomes mediate intercellular communication and organ crosstalk. They not only transport functional proteins and nucleic acids derived from parental cells but also serve as vehicles for the targeted delivery of exogenous cargo. Exosomes regulate ferroptosis by delivering the biological material to the recipient cell, affecting ferroptosis-related proteins, or transporting ferritin-bound iron out of the cell. This review discusses pathogenesis mediated by endogenous exosomes and the therapeutic potential of exogenous exosomes for ferroptosis-related diseases. In addition, this review explores the role of exosome-mediated ferroptosis in ferroptosis-related diseases with an emphasis on strategies for engineering exosomes for ferroptosis therapy.

Abstract
Aging is associated with multiple degenerative diseases, including atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's disease. As the most intuitive manifestation of aging, skin aging has received the most significant attention. Skin aging results from various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Aged skin is characterized by wrinkles, laxity, elastosis, telangiectasia, and aberrant pigmentation. The underlying mechanism is complex and may involve cellular senescence, DNA damage, oxidative stress (OS), inflammation, and genetic mutations, among other factors. Among them, OS plays an important role in skin aging, and multiple antioxidants (e.g., vitamin C, glutathione, and melatonin) are considered to promote skin rejuvenation. In addition, stem cells that exhibit self-replication, multi-directional differentiation, and a strong paracrine function can exert anti-aging effects by inhibiting OS. With the further development of stem cell technology, treatments related to OS mitigation and involving stem cell use may have a promising future in anti-skin aging therapy.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious disease of the central nervous system that is associated with a poor prognosis; furthermore, existing clinical treatments cannot restore nerve function in an effective manner. Inflammatory responses and the increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the microenvironment of the lesion are major obstacles that inhibit the recovery of SCI. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), derived from mesenchymal stem cells, are suitable options for cell-free therapy and have been shown to exert therapeutic effects in SCI, thus providing a potential strategy for microenvironment regulation. However, the effective retention, controlled release, and integration of small extracellular vesicles into injured spinal cord tissue are still a major challenge. Herein, we fabricated an N-acryloyl glycinamide/gelatin methacrylate/Laponite/Tannic acid (NAGA/GelMA/LPN/TA, NGL/T) hydrogel with sustainable sEV release (sEVs-NGL/T) to promote the recovery of motor function after SCI. The newly developed functional sEVs-NGL/T hydrogel exhibited excellent antioxidant properties in an H2O2-simulated peroxidative microenvironment in vitro. Implantation of the functional sEVs-NGL/T hydrogel in vivo could encapsulate sEVs, exhibiting efficient retention and the sustained release of sEVs, thereby synergistically inducing significant restoration of motor function and urinary tissue preservation. These positive effects can be attributed to the effective mitigation of the inflammatory and ROS microenvironment. Therefore, sEVs-NGL/T therapy provides a promising strategy for the sEV-based therapy in the treatment of SCI by comprehensively regulating the pathological microenvironment.

Abstract
Exposure of the skin to an external stimulus may lead to a series of irreversible dysfunctions, such as skin aging, refractory wounds, and pigmented dermatosis. Nowadays, many cutaneous treatments have failed to strike a balance between cosmetic needs and medical recovery. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are one of the most promising therapeutic tools. EVs are cell-derived nanoparticles that can carry a variety of cargoes, such as nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins. They also have the ability to communicate with neighboring or distant cells. A growing body of evidence suggests that EVs play a significant role in skin repair. We summarize the current findings of EV therapy in skin aging, refractory wound, and pigmented dermatosis and also describe the novel engineering strategies for optimizing EV function and therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
As nanoscale membranous vesicles, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (hucMSC-sEVs) have attracted extensive attention in the field of tissue regeneration. Under the premise that the mechanisms of hucMSC-sEVs on the treatment of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) have not been revealed clearly, we constructed DKD rat model with success. After tail vein injection, hucMSC-sEVs effectively reduced blood glucose, maintained body weight and improved renal function in DKD rats. Notably, we found that hucMSC-sEVs suppressed YAP expression in renal cortical regions. Further in vitro experiments, we confirmed that the expression of YAP in the nucleus of renal podocytes was increased, and the level of autophagy was inhibited in the high-glucose environment, which could be reversed by intervention with hucMSC-sEVs. We screened out the key protein 14-3-3ζ, which could not only promote YAP cytoplasmic retention instead of entering the nucleus, but also enhance the level of autophagy in the cytoplasm. Ultimately, excessive YAP protein was removed by autophagy, a classic way of protein degradation. In conclusion, our study provides new strategies for the prevention of DKD and proposes the possibility of hucMSC-sEVs becoming a new treatment for DKD in the future.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes severe neurological dysfunction leading to a devastating disease of the central nervous system that is associated with high rates of disability and mortality. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSC-sEVs) have been explored as a promising strategy for treating SCI. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of the intralesional administration of hucMSC-sEVs after SCI and determined the potential mechanisms of successful repair by hucMSC-sEVs. In vivo, we established the rat model of SCI. The Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan (BBB) scores showed that hucMSC-sEVs dramatically promoted the recovery of spinal cord function. The results of the hematoxylin–eosin (HE) staining, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), and immunohistochemistry showed that hucMSC-sEVs inhibited inflammation and the activation of glia, and promoted neurogenesis. Furthermore, we studied the effect of hucMSC-sEVs on neural stem cells(NSCs) in vitro. We found that hucMSC-sEVs did not improve the migration ability of NSCs, but promoted NSCs to proliferate and differentiate via the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. Collectively, these findings suggested that hucMSC-sEVs promoted the functional recovery of SCI by activating neural stem cells via the ERK1/2 pathway and may provide a new perspective and therapeutic strategy for the clinical application of hucMSC-sEVs in SCI treatment.

Abstract
Exosomes (exos) exert biological functions to maintain the dynamic balance of cells and tissues by transferring biological cargo to recipient cells. Thus, this study explored human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs)-derived exo transfer of microRNA (miR)-342-3p in deep vein thrombosis (DVT). DVT rat models were established via inferior vena cava (IVC) ligation. HucMSCs-exos were extracted and injected into rats with DVT to observe whether they could influences thrombus formation in vivo. HucMSCs-exos were co-cultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro to observe angiogenesis. miR-342-3p and endothelin A receptor (EDNRA) expression in rats with DVT, as well as their interaction was analyzed. miR-342-3p was downregulated and EDNRA was upregulated in rats with DVT. HucMSCs-exos inhibited the formation of thrombus in rats with DVT, as well as promoted angiogenesis of HUVECs. Upregulated miR-342-3p delivery by hucMSCs-exos alleviated DVT in rats and improved angiogenesis of HUVECs. miR-342-3p targeted EDNRA, and the effect of hucMSCs-exos transfer of upregulated miR-342-3p was rescued by overexpressing EDNRA. Briefly, miR-342-3p loaded by hucMSCs-exos attenuates DVT by downregulating EDNRA, offering a novel direction to treat DVT.

Abstract
Abstract
Exosomes, secreted by most cells, are critical antimicrobial immune factors in animals. Recent studies of certain key regulators of vesicular transport, the Rab GTPases, have linked Rab dysfunction to regulation of innate immune signaling. However, the relationship between exosomes and Rab GTPases, resulting in antimicrobial activity in vertebrates and invertebrates during pathogenic infection, has not been addressed. In this study, SpRab11a was reported to have a protective effect on the survival rate of mud crabs Scylla paramamosain after Vibrio parahaemolyticus challenge through the stimulation of exosome secretion and modulation of anti-LPS factor (ALF) expression. Furthermore, Sp14-3-3 was confirmed to be densely packaged in exosomes after V. parahaemolyticus infection, which could recruit the MyD88 and TLR by binding the Toll/IL-1R domain to the plasma membrane, promoting the translocation of Dorsal from the cytoplasm into the nucleus, and thereby regulating ALFs expression in the hemocytes of mud crab in response to the bacterial infection. The findings therefore provide, to our knowledge, a novel mechanism that underlies the cross-talk between SpRab11a-regulated exosome formation and ALFs expression in innate immune response in invertebrates, with a crustacean species, mud crab S. paramamosain, as a model study.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Roles of Extracellular Vesicles in Aging-Related Diseases. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:6742792. [PMID: 35979398 PMCID: PMC9377967 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6742792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Aging shows a decline in overall physical function, and cellular senescence is the powerful catalyst leading to aging. Considering that aging will be accompanied with the emergence of various aging-related diseases, research on new antiaging drugs is still valuable. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), as tools for intercellular communication, are important components of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and they can play pathological roles in the process of cellular senescence. In addition, EVs are similar to their original cells in functions. Therefore, EVs derived from pathological tissues or body fluids may be closely related to the progression of diseases and become potential biomarkers, while those from healthy cells may have therapeutic effects. Moreover, EVs are satisfactory drug carriers. At present, numerous studies have supported the idea that engineered EVs could improve drug targeting ability and utilization efficiency. Here, we summarize the characteristics of EVs and cellular senescence and focus on the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of EVs in various aging-related diseases, including Alzheimer disease, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and its complications, and skin aging.

Abstract
Senescence is an inevitable natural life process that involves structural and functional degeneration of tissues and organs. Recently, the process of skin aging has attracted much attention. Determining a means to delay or even reverse skin aging has become a research hotspot in medical cosmetology and anti-aging. Dysfunction in the epidermis and fibroblasts and changes in the composition and content of the extracellular matrix are common pathophysiological manifestations of skin aging. Reactive oxygen species and matrix metalloproteinases play essential roles in this process. Stem cells are pluripotent cells that possess self-replication abilities and can differentiate into multiple functional cells under certain conditions. These cells also possess a strong ability to facilitate tissue repair and regeneration. Stem cell transplantation has the potential for application in anti-aging therapy. Increasing studies have demonstrated that stem cells perform functions through paracrine processes, particularly those involving exosomes. Exosomes are nano-vesicular substances secreted by stem cells that participate in cell-to-cell communication by transporting their contents into target cells. In this chapter, the biological characteristics of exosomes were reviewed, including their effects on extracellular matrix formation, epidermal cell function, fibroblast function and antioxidation. Exosomes derived from stem cells may provide a new means to reverse skin aging.

Abstract
Facial aesthetics involve the application of non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques to improve facial appearance. Currently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are attracting much interest as nanocarriers in facial aesthetics due to their lipid bilayer membrane, nanosized dimensions, biological origin, intercellular communication ability, and capability to modulate the molecular activities of recipient cells that play important roles in skin rejuvenation. Therefore, EVs have been suggested to have therapeutic potential in improving skin conditions, and these highlighted the potential to develop EV-based cosmetic products. This review summarizes EVs’ latest research, reporting applications in facial aesthetics, including scar removal, facial rejuvenation, anti-aging, and anti-pigmentation. This review also discussed the advanced delivery strategy of EVs, the therapeutic potential of plant EVs, and clinical studies using EVs to improve skin conditions. In summary, EV therapy reduces scarring, rejuvenates aging skin, and reduces pigmentation. These observations warrant the development of EV-based cosmetic products. However, more efforts are needed to establish a large-scale EV production platform that can consistently produce functional EVs and understand EVs’ underlying mechanism of action to improve their efficacy.

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. MSCs exert their beneficial effects on skin photoaging via antioxidant effect, anti-apoptotic/anti-inflammatory effect, reduction of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and activation of dermal fibroblasts proliferation. MSCs and MSC related products have demonstrated huge potential in the treatment of skin photoaging. This narrative review concisely sums up the recent research developments on the roles of MSCs in protection against photoaging and highlights the enormous potential of MSCs in skin photoaging treatment.

A reduced form of nicotinamide riboside protects the cochlea against aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity by SIRT1 activation. Biomed Pharmacother 2022; 150:113071. [PMID: 35658237 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2022] [Revised: 04/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme that plays crucial roles in many cellular processes, is a potential therapeutic target for various diseases. Dihydronicotinamide riboside (NRH), a novel reduced form of nicotinamide riboside, has emerged as a potent NAD+ precursor. Here, we studied the protective effects and underlying mechanism of NRH on aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity. METHODS Auditory function and hair-cell (HC) morphology were examined to assess the effects of NRH on kanamycin-induced hearing loss. The pharmacokinetic parameters of NRH were measured in plasma and the cochlea using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. NAD+ levels in organ explant cultures were assessed to compare NRH with known NAD+ precursors. Immunofluorescence analysis was performed to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis. We analyzed SIRT1 and 14-3-3 protein expression. EX527 and resveratrol were used to investigate the role of SIRT1 in the protective effect of NRH against kanamycin-induced ototoxicity. RESULTS NRH alleviated kanamycin-induced HC damage and attenuated hearing loss in mice. NRH reduced gentamicin-induced vestibular HC loss. Compared with NAD and NR, NRH produced more NAD+ in cochlear HCs and significantly ameliorated kanamycin-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis. NRH rescued the aminoglycoside-induced decreases in SIRT1 and 14-3-3 protein expression. Moreover, EX527 antagonized the protective effect of NRH on kanamycin-induced HC loss by inhibition of SIRT1, while resveratrol alleviated HC damage caused by EX527. CONCLUSIONS NRH ameliorates aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity by inhibiting HC apoptosis by activating SIRT1 and decreasing ROS. NRH is an effective therapeutic option for aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity.

Abstract
Low back pain (LBP), which is one of the most severe medical and social problems globally, has affected nearly 80% of the population worldwide, and intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a common musculoskeletal disorder that happens to be the primary trigger of LBP. The pathology of IDD is based on the impaired homeostasis of catabolism and anabolism in the extracellular matrix (ECM), uncontrolled activation of immunologic cascades, dysfunction, and loss of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells in addition to dynamic cellular and biochemical alterations in the microenvironment of intervertebral disc (IVD). Currently, the main therapeutic approach regarding IDD is surgical intervention, but it could not considerably cure IDD. Exosomes, extracellular vesicles with a diameter of 30–150 nm, are secreted by various kinds of cell types like stem cells, tumor cells, immune cells, and endothelial cells; the lipid bilayer of the exosomes protects them from ribonuclease degradation and helps improve their biological efficiency in recipient cells. Increasing lines of evidence have reported the promising applications of exosomes in immunological diseases, and regarded exosomes as a potential therapeutic source for IDD. This review focuses on clarifying novel therapies based on exosomes derived from different cell sources and the essential roles of exosomes in regulating IDD, especially the immunologic strategy.
