Mesenchymal stem cell therapy using Pal-KTTKS-enriched carboxylated cellulose improves burn wound in rat model. Arch Dermatol Res 2024; 316:353. [PMID: 38850353 DOI: 10.1007/s00403-024-03082-1] [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: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
Despite the great progress in developing wound dressings, delayed wound closure still remains a global challenge. Thus, developing novel wound dressings and employing advanced strategies, including tissue engineering, are urgently desired. The carboxylated cellulose was developed through the in situ synthesis method and further reinforced by incorporating pal-KTTKS to stimulate collagen synthesis and improve wound healing. The developed composites supported cell adhesion and proliferation and showed good biocompatibility. To boost wound-healing performance, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) were seeded on the pal-KTTKS-enriched composites to be implanted in a rat model of burn wound healing. Healthy male rats were randomly divided into four groups and wound-healing performance of Vaseline gauze (control), carboxylated cellulose (CBC), pal-KTTKS-enriched CBC (KTTKS-CBC), and MSCs seeded on the KTTKS-CBC composites (MSC-KTTKS-CBC) were evaluated on days 3, 7, and 14 post-implantation. In each group, the designed therapeutic dressings were renewed every 5 days to increase wound-healing performance. We found that KTTKS-CBC and MSC-KTTKS-CBC composites exhibited significantly better wound healing capability, as evidenced by significantly alleviated inflammation, increased collagen deposition, improved angiogenesis, and considerably accelerated wound closure. Nevertheless, the best wound-healing performance was observed in the MSC-KTTKS-CBC groups among all four groups. This research suggests that the MSC-KTTKS-CBC composite offers a great deal of promise as a wound dressing to enhance wound regeneration and expedite wound closure in the clinic.

The role of oxygen tension in cell fate and regenerative medicine: implications of hypoxia/hyperoxia and free radicals. Cell Tissue Bank 2024; 25:195-215. [PMID: 37365484 DOI: 10.1007/s10561-023-10099-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
Oxygen pressure plays an integral role in regulating various aspects of cellular biology. Cell metabolism, proliferation, morphology, senescence, metastasis, and angiogenesis are some instances that are affected by different tensions of oxygen. Hyperoxia or high oxygen concentration, enforces the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that disturbs physiological homeostasis, and consequently, in the absence of antioxidants, cells and tissues are directed to an undesired fate. On the other side, hypoxia or low oxygen concentration, impacts cell metabolism and fate strongly through inducing changes in the expression level of specific genes. Thus, understanding the precise mechanism and the extent of the implication of oxygen tension and ROS in biological events is crucial to maintaining the desired cell and tissue function for application in regenerative medicine strategies. Herein, a comprehensive literature review has been performed to find out the impacts of oxygen tensions on the various behaviors of cells or tissues.

Abstract
The prevalence of visual impairments in human societies is worrying due to retinopathy complications of several chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and many more that are on the rise worldwide. Since the proper function of this organ plays a pivotal role in people's quality of life, identifying factors affecting the development/exacerbation of ocular diseases is of particular interest among ophthalmology researchers. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a reticular, three-dimensional (3D) structure that determines the shape and dimensions of tissues in the body. The ECM remodeling/hemostasis is a critical process in both physiological and pathological conditions. It consists of ECM deposition, degradation, and decrease/increase in the ECM components. However, disregulation of this process and an imbalance between the synthesis and degradation of ECM components are associated with many pathological situations, including ocular disorders. Despite the impact of ECM alterations on the development of ocular diseases, there is not much research conducted in this regard. Therefore, a better understanding in this regard, can pave the way toward discovering plausible strategies to either prevent or treat eye disorders. In this review, we will discuss the importance of ECM changes as a sentimental factor in various ocular diseases based on the research done up to now.

Sci Rep 2023; 13:22974. [PMID: 38151503 PMCID: PMC10752906 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-49751-5] [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: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PL-MSCs) have therapeutic potential in various clinical contexts due to their regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. However, with increasing age or extensive in vitro culture, their viability and function are gradually lost, thus restricting their therapeutic application. The primary cause of this deterioration is oxidative injury from free radicals. Therefore, enhancing cell viability and restoring cellular repair mechanisms of PL-MSCs in an oxidative stress environment are crucial in this context. Fucoxanthin, a carotenoid derived from brown seaweed, demonstrates antioxidant activity by increasing the production of antioxidant enzymes and lowering the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study aimed to determine whether fucoxanthin protects PL-MSCs from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress. After characterization, PL-MSCs were co-treated with fucoxanthin and H2O2 for 24 h (co-treatment) or pre-treated with fucoxanthin for 24 h followed by H2O2 for 24 h (pre-treatment). The effects of fucoxanthin on cell viability and proliferation were examined using an MTT assay. The expression of antioxidant enzymes, PI3K/Akt/Nrf-2 and intracellular ROS production were investigated in fucoxanthin-treated PL-MSCs compared to the untreated group. The gene expression and involvement of specific pathways in the cytoprotective effect of fucoxanthin were investigated by high-throughput NanoString nCounter analysis. The results demonstrated that co-treatment and pre-treatment with fucoxanthin restored the viability and proliferative capacity of PL-MSCs. Fucoxanthin treatment increased the expression of antioxidant enzymes in PL-MSCs cultured under oxidative stress conditions and decreased intracellular ROS accumulation. Markedly, fucoxanthin treatment could restore PI3K/Akt/Nrf-2 expression in H2O2-treated PL-MSCs. High-throughput analysis revealed up-regulation of genes involved in cell survival pathways, including cell cycle and proliferation, DNA damage repair pathways, and down-regulation of genes in apoptosis and autophagy pathways. This study demonstrated that fucoxanthin protects and rescues PL-MSCs from oxidative stress damage through the PI3K/Akt/Nrf-2 pathway. Our data provide the supporting evidence for the use of fucoxanthin as an antioxidant cytoprotective agent to improve the viability and proliferation capacity of PL-MSCs both in vitro and in vivo required to increase the effectiveness of MSC expansion for therapeutic applications.
