Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are a subset of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from adipose tissue. They possess remarkable properties, including multipotency, self-renewal, and easy clinical availability. ADSCs are also capable of promoting tissue regeneration through the secretion of various cytokines, factors, and extracellular vesicles (EVs). ADSC-derived EVs (ADSC-EVs) act as intercellular signaling mediators that encapsulate a range of biomolecules. These EVs have been found to mediate the therapeutic activities of donor cells by promoting the proliferation and migration of effector cells, facilitating angiogenesis, modulating immunity, and performing other specific functions in different tissues. Compared to the donor cells themselves, ADSC-EVs offer advantages such as fewer safety concerns and more convenient transportation and storage for clinical application. As a result, these EVs have received significant attention as cell-free therapeutic agents with potential future application in regenerative medicine. In this review, we focus on recent research progress regarding regenerative medical use of ADSC-EVs across various medical conditions, including wound healing, chronic limb ischemia, angiogenesis, myocardial infarction, diabetic nephropathy, fat graft survival, bone regeneration, cartilage regeneration, tendinopathy and tendon healing, peripheral nerve regeneration, and acute lung injury, among others. We also discuss the underlying mechanisms responsible for inducing these therapeutic effects. We believe that deciphering the biological properties, therapeutic effects, and underlying mechanisms associated with ADSC-EVs will provide a foundation for developing a novel therapeutic approach in regenerative medicine.

Assessment of Cellulose Nanofiber-Based Elastase Biosensors to Inflammatory Disease as a Function of Spacer Length and Fluorescence Response. ACS APPLIED BIO MATERIALS 2024; 7:1490-1500. [PMID: 38377436 PMCID: PMC10951950 DOI: 10.1021/acsabm.3c00885] [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: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
Inflammatory disease biomarker detection has become a high priority in point-of-care diagnostic research in relation to chronic wounds, with a variety of sensor-based designs becoming available. Herein, two primary aspects of biosensor design are examined: (1) assessment of a cellulose nanofiber (CNF) matrix derived from cotton ginning byproducts as a sensor transducer surface; and (2) assessment of the relation of spacer length and morphology between the CNF cellulose backbone and peptide fluorophore as a function of sensor activity for porcine pancreatic and human neutrophil elastases. X-ray crystallography, specific surface area, and pore size analyses confirmed the suitability of CNF as a matrix for wound care diagnostics. Based upon the normalized degree of substitution, a pegylated-linker connecting CNF transducer substrate to peptide fluorophore showed the greatest fluorescence response, compared to short- and long-chain alkylated linkers.

Abstract
When the skin is damaged, accelerating the repair of skin trauma and promoting the recovery of tissue function are crucial considerations in clinical treatment. Previously, we isolated and identified an active peptide (livisin) from the skin secretion of the frog Odorrana livida. Livisin exhibited strong protease inhibitory activity, water solubility, and stability, yet its wound-healing properties have not yet been studied. In this study, we assessed the impact of livisin on wound healing and investigated the underlying mechanism contributing to its effect. Our findings revealed livisin effectively stimulated the migration of keratinocytes, with the underlying mechanisms involved the activation of CaSR as a peptide calcium mimetic. This activation resulted in the stimulation of the CaSR/E-cadherin/EGFR/ERK signaling pathways. Moreover, the therapeutic effects of livisin were partially reduced by blocking the CaSR/E-cadherin/EGFR/ERK signaling pathway. The interaction between livisin and CaSR was further investigated by molecular docking. Additionally, studies using a mouse full-thickness wound model demonstrated livisin could accelerate skin wound healing by promoting re-epithelialization and collagen deposition. In conclusion, our study provides experimental evidence supporting the use of livisin in skin wound healing, highlighting its potential as an effective therapeutic option.

Extracellular vesicle-derived silk fibroin nanoparticles loaded with MFGE8 accelerate skin ulcer healing by targeting the vascular endothelial cells. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:455.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduced supplies of oxygen and nutrients caused by vascular injury lead to difficult-to-heal pressure ulcers (PU) in clinical practice. Rapid vascular repair in the skin wound is the key to the resolution of this challenge, but clinical measures are still limited. We described the beneficial effects of extracellular vesicle-derived silk fibroin nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with milk fat globule EGF factor 8 (MFGE8) on accelerating skin blood vessel and PU healing by targeting CD13 in the vascular endothelial cells (VECs). METHODS CD13, the specific targeting protein of NGR, and MFGE8, an inhibitor of ferroptosis, were detected in VECs and PU tissues. Then, NPs were synthesized via silk fibroin, and MFGE8-coated NPs (NPs@MFGE8) were assembled via loading purified protein MFGE8 produced by Chinese hamster ovary cells. Lentivirus was used to over-express MFGE8 in VECs and obtained MFGE8-engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs-MFGE8) secreted by these VECs. The inhibitory effect of EVs-MFGE8 or NPs@MFGE8 on ferroptosis was detected in vitro. The NGR peptide cross-linked with NPs@MFGE8 was assembled into NGR-NPs@MFGE8. Collagen and silk fibroin were used to synthesize the silk fibroin/collagen hydrogel. After being loaded with NGR-NPs@MFGE8, silk fibroin/collagen hydrogel sustained-release carrier was synthesized to investigate the repair effect on PU in vivo. RESULTS MFGE8 was decreased, and CD13 was increased in PU tissues. Similar to the effect of EVs-MFGE8 on inhibiting ferroptosis, NPs@MFGE8 could inhibit the mitochondrial autophagy-induced ferroptosis of VECs. Compared with the hydrogels loaded with NPs or NPs@MFGE8, the hydrogels loaded with NGR-NPs@MFGE8 consistently released NGR-NPs@MFGE8 targeting CD13 in VECs, thereby inhibiting mitochondrial autophagy and ferroptosis caused by hypoxia and accelerating wound healing effectively in rats. CONCLUSIONS The silk fibroin/collagen hydrogel sustained-release carrier loaded with NGR-NPs@MFGE8 was of great significance to use as a wound dressing to inhibit the ferroptosis of VECs by targeting CD13 in PU tissues, preventing PU formation and promoting wound healing.

BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 154:213640.

Abstract
Diabetic complications with high-glucose status (HGS) cause the dysregulated autophagy and excessive apoptosis of multiple-type cells, leading to the difficulty in wound self-healing. Herein, we firstly developed fiber-reinforced gelatin (GEL)/β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) therapeutic hydrogels by the modification of platelet-rich plasma exosomes (PRP-EXOs). The GEL fibers that were uniformly dispersed within the GEL/β-CD hydrogels remarkably enhanced the compression strengths and viscoelasticity. The PRP-EXOs were encapsulated in the hydrogels via the covalent crosslinking between the PRP-EXOs and genipin. The diabetic rat models demonstrated that the GEL/β-CD hydrogels and PRP-EXOs cooperatively promoted diabetic wound healing. On the one hand, the GEL/β-CD hydrogels provided the biocompatible microenvironments and active components for cell adhesion, proliferation and skin tissue regeneration. On the other hand, the PRP-EXOs in the therapeutic hydrogels significantly activated the autophagy and inhibited the apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human skin fibroblasts (HSFs). The activation of autophagy and inhibition of apoptosis in HUVECs and HSFs induced the blood vessel creation, collagen formation and re-epithelialization. Taken together, this work proved that the incorporation of PRP-EXOs in a wound dressing was an effective strategy to regulate autophagy and apoptosis, and provide a novel therapeutic platform for diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Hydrogels are 3D scaffolds used as alternatives to in vivo models for disease modeling and delivery of cells and drugs. Existing hydrogel classifications include synthetic, recombinant, chemically defined, plant- or animal-based, and tissue-derived matrices. There is a need for materials that can support both human tissue modeling and clinically relevant applications requiring stiffness tunability. Human-derived hydrogels are not only clinically relevant, but they also minimize the use of animal models for pre-clinical studies. This study aims to characterize XGel, a new human-derived hydrogel as an alternative to current murine-derived and synthetic recombinant hydrogels that features unique physiochemical, biochemical, and biological properties that support adipocyte and bone differentiation. Rheology studies determine the viscosity, stiffness, and gelation features of XGel. Quantitative studies for quality control support consistency in the protein content between lots. Proteomics studies reveal that XGel is predominantly composed of extracellular matrix proteins, including fibrillin, collagens I-VI, and fibronectin. Electron microscopy of the hydrogel provides phenotypic characteristics in terms of porosity and fiber size. The hydrogel demonstrates biocompatibility as a coating material and as a 3D scaffold for the growth of multiple cell types. The results provide insight into the biological compatibility of this human-derived hydrogel for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Hydrogels and extracellular vesicle-based therapies have been proposed as emerging therapeutic assets in wound closure. The combination of these elements has given good results in managing chronic and acute wounds. The intrinsic characteristics of the hydrogels in which the extracellular vesicles (EVs) are loaded allow for overcoming barriers, such as the sustained and controlled release of EVs and the maintenance of the pH for their conservation. In addition, EVs can be obtained from different sources and through several isolation methods. However, some barriers must be overcome to transfer this type of therapy to the clinic, for example, the production of hydrogels containing functional EVs and identifying long-term storage conditions for EVs. The aim of this review is to describe the reported EV-based hydrogel combinations, along with the obtained results, and analyze future perspectives.

Abstract
Peptides, functional nutrients with a size between those of large proteins and small amino acids, are easily absorbed by the human body.

Advancements in cell-based therapies for the treatment of pressure injuries: A systematic review of interventional studies. J Tissue Eng 2023; 14:20417314231201071. [PMID: 38029017 PMCID: PMC10658773 DOI: 10.1177/20417314231201071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The high recurrence and complications associated with severe pressure injuries (PI) necessitate the exploration of advanced treatments, such as cell-based therapies, to facilitate wound healing. Such techniques harness the ability of different cell types to promote angiogenesis, re-epithelialization of the skin, and tissue regeneration. This systematic review explores the efficacy of cell-based therapies and tissue engineering in treating deep PI. We searched for interventional studies using cells in the treatment of PI in adults in four online libraries (PubMed, Embase, Ovid Medline, and Cochrane; latest search 10th June 2023). We found one randomized clinical trial (RCT), two non-RCT, and three pre-post studies, comprising 481 study participants with PI (253 intervention/228 controls). The risk of bias was categorized as moderate due to minimal bias in outcome measurements, or high owing to unclear patient randomization methods, as assessed by the ROBINS-I, NIH, and RoB-2 tools. Four cell types were identified in the context of cell-based therapies of PI: bone marrow mononuclear stem cells (BM-MNCs, n = 2); hematopoietic derived stem cells (HSC, n = 1); macrophages and activated macrophage suspensions (AMS, n = 2); and cryopreserved placental membrane containing viable cells (vCPM, n = 1). Wound healing outcomes were observed in patients undergoing cell-based therapies, including complete wound closure (AMS, vCPM; n = 142), faster healing rate (BM-MNCs, AMS; n = 146), improved granulation tissue formation (HSC, n = 3) and shorter hospitalization time (BM-MNCs; n = 108) compared to standard of care, with no adverse reactions. PI healing rate decreased only in one study with BM-MNC therapy, compared to control (n = 86). Based on the available data, though with limited evidence, it seems that macrophage deployment showed the most favorable outcomes. The results indicate that cell-based therapies offer a potential avenue for enhancing wound healing and tissue repair in PI; however, more extensive research is needed in this domain.

Abstract
Critically sized skin flaps used to treat skin defects often suffer from necrosis due to insufficient blood supply. Hence there is an urgent need to improve the survival rate of skin flaps by promoting local angiogenesis. The delivery of growth factor loaded microcarriers have shown promise in enhancing defect repair, however, their rapid clearance from the defect site limits their regenerative potential. Thus, it is critical to develop microcarriers which can promote the sustained release of bioactive factors to effectively stimulate tissue repair. This study aimed to develop a stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) loaded microcarrier coated with Matrigel (MC@SDF-1@Mat) to promote skin flap repair. SEM imaging showed that the surface of the microcarrier was coated by a porous Matrigel film. The drug release experiment showed that the Matrigel-coated microcarriers enhanced the sustained release of the model drug methylene blue when compared to uncoated group. MC@SDF-1@Mat significantly promoted the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of HUVECs via CCK-8, wound healing assay, and tube formation assay, respectively. Moreover, the murine random skin flap model was further established and treated. It was found that the flap necrosis area in the MC@SDF-1@Mat treated group was significantly reduced. H&E and Masson staining showed the histological structure and collagen organization exhibited a normal phenotype in the MC@SDF-1@Mat treated group. Additionally, CD31 immunohistochemical analysis showed that the MC@SDF-1@Mat treated group exhibited the greatest degree of neovascularization. In conclusion, our SDF-1 functionalized gelatin-based hydrogel microcarrier has potential clinical applications in promoting skin flap repair and drug delivery.

Detection of Human Neutrophil Elastase by Fluorescent Peptide Sensors Conjugated to TEMPO-Oxidized Nanofibrillated Cellulose. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23063101. [PMID: 35328520 PMCID: PMC8952216 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23063101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Peptide–cellulose conjugates designed for use as optical protease sensors have gained interest for point-of-care (POC) detection. Elevated serine protease levels are often found in patients with chronic illnesses, necessitating optimal biosensor design for POC assessment. Nanocellulose provides a platform for protease sensors as a transducer surface, and the employment of nanocellulose in this capacity combines its biocompatibility and high specific surface area properties to confer sensitive detection of dilute biomarkers. However, a basic understanding of the spatiotemporal relationships of the transducer surface and sensor disposition is needed to improve protease sensor design and development. Here, we examine a tripeptide, fluorogenic elastase biosensor attached to TEMPO-oxidized nanofibrillated cellulose via a polyethylene glycol linker. The synthetic conjugate was found to be active in the presence of human neutrophil elastase at levels comparable to other cellulose-based biosensors. Computational models examined the relationship of the sensor molecule to the transducer surface. The results illustrate differences in two crystallite transducer surfaces ((110) vs. (1−10)) and reveal preferred orientations of the sensor. Finally, a determination of the relative (110) vs. (1−10) orientations of crystals extracted from cotton demonstrates a preference for the (1−10) conformer. This model study potentiates the HNE sensor results for enhanced sensor activity design.

Abstract
Pathogens, especially drug-resistant pathogens caused by the abuse of antibiotics, have become a major threat to human health and public health safety. The exploitation and application of new antibacterial agents is extremely urgent. As a natural biopolymer, cellulose has recently attracted much attention due to its excellent hydrophilicity, economy, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. In particular, the preparation of cellulose-based hydrogels with excellent structure and properties from cellulose and its derivatives has received increasing attention thanks to the existence of abundant hydrophilic functional groups (such as hydroxyl, carboxy, and aldehyde groups) within cellulose and its derivatives. The cellulose-based hydrogels have broad application prospects in antibacterial-related biomedical fields. The latest advances of preparation and antibacterial application of cellulose-based hydrogels has been reviewed, with a focus on the antibacterial applications of composite hydrogels formed from cellulose and metal nanoparticles; metal oxide nanoparticles; antibiotics; polymers; and plant extracts. In addition, the antibacterial mechanism and antibacterial characteristics of different cellulose-based antibacterial hydrogels were also summarized. Furthermore, the prospects and challenges of cellulose-based antibacterial hydrogels in biomedical applications were also discussed.

Abstract
Cutaneous wound healing has always been an intractable medical problem for both clinicians and researchers, with an urgent need for more efficacious methods to achieve optimal outcomes morphologically and functionally. Stem cells, the body's rapid response ‘road repair crew,’ being on standby to combat tissue injuries, are an essential part of regenerative medicine. Currently, the use of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), a kind of mesenchymal stem cells with multipotent differentiation and self-renewal capacity, is surging in the field of cutaneous wound healing. ADSCs may exert influences either by releasing paracrine signalling factors or differentiating into mature adipose cells to provide the ‘building blocks’ for engineered tissue. As an important paracrine substance released from ADSCs, exosomes are a kind of extracellular vesicles and carrying various bioactive molecules mediating adjacent or distant intercellular communication. Previous studies have indicated that ADSCs derived exosomes (ADSCs-Exos) promoted skin wound healing by affecting all stages of wound healing, including regulating inflammatory response, promoting proliferation and migration of fibroblasts or keratinocytes, facilitating angiogenesis, and regulating remodeling of extracellular matrix, which have provided new opportunities for understanding how ADSCs-Exos mediate intercellular communication in pathological processes of the skin and therapeutic strategies for cutaneous wound repair. In this review, we focus on elucidating the role of ADSCs-Exos at various stages of cutaneous wound healing, detailing the latest developments, and presenting some challenges necessary to be addressed in this field, with the expectation of providing a new perspective on how to best utilize this powerful cell-free therapy in the future.

Abstract
Adipose stem cells (ASCs) have shown therapeutic promise for various conditions, including burn injury. While ASCs have immunomodulatory properties, concerns exist over pro-coagulant activity after intravenous (IV) administration. In the present study, we examined IV human ASC delivery in terms of coagulation, organ function, and inflammation in a 40% total body surface area (TBSA) swine burn model. Anesthetized female Yorkshire swine were burned and randomized to receive 15ml/kg Lactated Ringer's containing: no ASCs; a low dose (5x10 5 ASCs/kg), or a high dose (5x10 6 ASCs/kg). For biochemical analysis, blood was collected at baseline (BL), 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours post-burn, while kidney and liver tissue was collected post-euthanasia. A significant, but transient, effect of ASCs was seen on prothrombin times and INR, wherein low doses revealed slight hypercoagulation. Burns increased partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, and d-dimer levels, which was unchanged with ASC administration. ASCs tended to exacerbate increases in bilirubin at 3 hours, but this didn't reach statistical significance. A significant effect of ASCs on creatinine and BUN was seen, wherein low doses elevated levels at 24 hours (creatinine, p=0.0012; BUN, p=0.0195). Hepatic and renal TUNEL staining were similar for all groups. A dose-dependent decrease in IL-8 was observed, while low doses significantly increased IL-1RA at 3 (p=0.050), IL-12 at 12 (p=0.021) and IL-6 at 24 hours post-burn (p=0.035). IV administration of xenogeneic ASCs slightly increased coagulation, but effects on burn-induced renal and hepatic dysfunction effects were minimal. Despite some significant immunomodulation, organ dysfunction effects were modest. Collectively, this study provides evidence to be skeptical about xenogeneic ASC administration in regards to burn.

Abstract
International regulatory agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration have mandated that the scientific community develop humanized microphysiological systems (MPS) as an in vitro alternative to animal models in the near future. While the breast cancer research community has long appreciated the importance of three-dimensional growth dynamics in their experimental models, there are remaining obstacles preventing a full conversion to humanized MPS for drug discovery and pathophysiological studies. This perspective evaluates the current status of human tissue-derived cells and scaffolds as building blocks for an "idealized" breast cancer MPS based on bioengineering design principles. It considers the utility of adipose tissue as a potential source of endothelial, lymphohematopoietic, and stromal cells for the support of breast cancer epithelial cells. The relative merits of potential MPS scaffolds derived from adipose tissue, blood components, and synthetic biomaterials is evaluated relative to the current "gold standard" material, Matrigel, a murine chondrosarcoma-derived basement membrane-enriched hydrogel. The advantages and limitations of a humanized breast cancer MPS are discussed in the context of in-process and destructive read-out assays. Impact statement Regulatory authorities have highlighted microphysiological systems as an emerging tool in breast cancer research. This has been led by calls for more predictive human models and reduced animal experimentation. This perspective describes how human-derived cells, extracellular matrices, and hydrogels will provide the building blocks to create breast cancer models that accurately reflect diversity at multiple levels, that is, patient ethnicity, pathophysiology, and metabolic status.

Abstract
Biological scaffolds have become an attractive approach for repairing the infarcted myocardium and have been shown to facilitate constructive remodeling in injured tissues. This study aimed to investigate the possible utilization of bacterial cellulose (BC) membrane patches containing cocultured cells to limit myocardial postinfarction pathology. Myocardial infarction (MI) was induced by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery in 45 Wistar rats, and patches with or without cells were attached to the hearts. After one week, the animals underwent echocardiography to assess for ejection fraction and left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes. Following patch formation, the cocultured cells retained viability of >90% over 14 days in culture. The patch was applied to the myocardial surface of the infarcted area after staying 14 days in culture. Interestingly, the BC membrane without cellular treatment showed higher preservation of cardiac dimensions; however, we did not observe improvement in the left ventricular ejection fraction of this group compared to coculture-treated membranes. Our results demonstrated an important role for BC in supporting cells known to produce cardioprotective soluble factors and may thus provide effective future therapeutic outcomes for patients suffering from ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
Here we describe the case of a 60‐year‐old-woman with systemic sclerosis sent to our Scleroderma Unit to treat digital stumps. The stumps were successfully treated with autologous fat grafting (crown-shape infiltration). Our technique of autologous lipotransfer improved wound healing in a scleroderma patient with stump-digital ulcers where all other options failed.

Skin Immunomodulation during Regeneration: Emerging New Targets. J Pers Med 2021; 11:jpm11020085. [PMID: 33573342 PMCID: PMC7911085 DOI: 10.3390/jpm11020085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2020] [Revised: 12/25/2020] [Accepted: 01/07/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSC) are present within the hypodermis and are also expected to play a pivotal role in wound healing, immunomodulation, and rejuvenation activities. They orchestrate, through their exosome, the mechanisms associated to cell differentiation, proliferation, and cell migration by upregulating genes implicated in different functions including skin barrier, immunomodulation, cell proliferation, and epidermal regeneration. ADSCs directly interact with their microenvironment and specifically the immune cells, including macrophages and T and B cells, resulting in differential inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mechanisms impacting, in return, ADSCs microenvironment and thus skin function. These useful features of ADSCs are involved in tissue repair, where the required cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and anti-inflammatory responses should occur rapidly in damaged sites. Different pathways involved have been reported such as Growth Differentiation Factor-11 (GDF11), Tumor Growth Factor (TGF)-β, Metalloproteinase (MMP), microRNA, and inflammatory cytokines that might serve as specific biomarkers of their immunomodulating capacity. In this review, we try to highlight ADSCs’ network and explore the potential indicators of their immunomodulatory effect in skin regeneration and aging. Assessment of these biomarkers might be useful and should be considered when designing new clinical therapies using ADSCs or their specific exosomes focusing on their immunomodulation activity.
