Cells 2024; 13:1250. [PMID: 39120281 PMCID: PMC11311847 DOI: 10.3390/cells13151250] [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: 06/07/2024] [Revised: 07/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Olfactory-ensheathing cells (OECs) are known for their role in neuronal regeneration and potential to promote tissue repair. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), characterized by mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) traits, display a fibroblast-like morphology and express MSC surface markers, making them suitable for regenerative therapies for osteoarthritis (OA). In this study, OECs and ADSCs were derived from tissues and characterized for their morphology, surface marker expression, and differentiation capabilities. Collagenase-induced OA was created in 10-week-old C57BL/6 mice, followed by intra-articular injections of ADSCs (1 × 105), OECs (1 × 105), or a higher dose of OECs (5 × 105). Therapeutic efficacy was evaluated using rotarod performance tests, MRI, histology, and immunohistochemistry. Both cell types exhibited typical MSC characteristics and successfully differentiated into adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes, confirmed by gene expression and staining. Transplantation significantly improved rotarod performance and preserved cartilage integrity, as seen in MRI and histology, with reduced cartilage destruction and increased chondrocytes. Immunohistochemistry showed elevated type II collagen and aggrecan in treated joints, indicating hyaline cartilage formation, and reduced MMP13 and IL-1β expression, suggesting decreased inflammation and catabolic activity. These findings highlight the regenerative potential of OECs and ADSCs in treating OA by preserving cartilage, promoting chondrocyte proliferation, and reducing inflammation. Further research is needed to optimize delivery methods and evaluate long-term clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) provides the treatment possibility for segmental long bone defects that are currently an orthopedic dilemma. This review explains different strategies, from biological, material, and preparation points of view, such as using different stem cells, ceramics, and metals, and their corresponding properties for BTE applications. In addition, factors such as porosity, surface chemistry, hydrophilicity and degradation behavior that affect scaffold success are introduced. Besides, the most widely used production methods that result in porous materials are discussed. Gene delivery and secretome-based therapies are also introduced as a new generation of therapies. This review outlines the positive results and important limitations remaining in the clinical application of novel BTE materials and methods for segmental defects.

Abstract
Articular cartilage damage still remains a major problem in orthopedical surgery. The development of tissue engineering techniques such as autologous chondrocyte implantation is a promising way to improve clinical outcomes. On the other hand, the clinical application of autologous chondrocytes has considerable limitations. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from various tissues have been shown to possess chondrogenic differentiation potential, although to different degrees. In the present study, we assessed the alterations in chondrogenesis-related gene transcription rates and extracellular matrix deposition levels before and after the chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs in a 3D spheroid culture. MSCs were obtained from three different tissues: umbilical cord Wharton's jelly (WJMSC-Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stromal cells), adipose tissue (ATMSC-adipose tissue mesenchymal stromal cells), and the dental pulp of deciduous teeth (SHEDs-stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth). Monolayer MSC cultures served as baseline controls. Newly formed 3D spheroids composed of MSCs previously grown in 2D cultures were precultured for 2 days in growth medium, and then, chondrogenic differentiation was induced by maintaining them in the TGF-β1-containing medium for 21 days. Among the MSC types studied, WJMSCs showed the most similarities with primary chondrocytes in terms of the upregulation of cartilage-specific gene expression. Interestingly, such upregulation occurred to some extent in all 3D spheroids, even prior to the addition of TGF-β1. These results confirm that the potential of Wharton's jelly is on par with adipose tissue as a valuable cell source for cartilage engineering applications as well as for the treatment of osteoarthritis. The 3D spheroid environment on its own acts as a trigger for the chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs.

Abstract
Joint-resident chondrogenic precursor cells have become a significant therapeutic option due to the lack of regenerative capacity in articular cartilage. Progenitor cells are located in the superficial zone of the articular cartilage, producing lubricin/Prg4 to decrease friction of cartilage surfaces during joint movement. Prg4-positive progenitors are crucial in maintaining the joint's structure and functionality. The disappearance of progenitor cells leads to changes in articular hyaline cartilage over time, subchondral bone abnormalities, and the formation of ectopic ossification. Genetic labeling cell technology has been the main tool used to characterize Prg4-expressing progenitor cells of articular cartilage in vivo through drug injection at different time points. This technology allows for the determination of the origin of progenitor cells and the tracking of their progeny during joint development and cartilage damage. We endeavored to highlight the currently known information about the Prg4-producing cell population in the joint to underline the significance of the role of these cells in the development of articular cartilage and its homeostasis. This review focuses on superficial progenitors in the joint, how they contribute to postnatal articular cartilage formation, their capacity for regeneration, and the consequences of Prg4 deficiency in these cells. We have accumulated information about the Prg4+ cell population of articular cartilage obtained through various elegantly designed experiments using transgenic technologies to identify potential opportunities for further research.

Resveratrol's Impact on the Chondrogenic Reagents' Effects in Cell Sheet Cultures of Wharton's Jelly-Derived MSCs. Cells 2023; 12:2845.

Abstract
Human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (hWJ-MSCs) are of great interest in tissue engineering. We obtained hWJ-MSCs from four patients, and then we stimulated their chondrogenic phenotype formation in vitro by adding resveratrol (during cell expansion) and a canonical Wnt pathway activator, LiCl, as well as a Rho-associated protein kinase inhibitor, Y27632 (during differentiation). The effects of the added reagents on the formation of hWJ-MSC sheets destined to repair osteochondral injuries were investigated. Three-dimensional hWJ-MSC sheets grown on P(NIPAM-co-NtBA)-based matrices were characterized in vitro and in vivo. The combination of resveratrol and LiCl showed effects on hWJ-MSC sheets similar to those of the basal chondrogenic medium. Adding Y27632 decreased both the proportion of hypertrophied cells and the expression of the hyaline cartilage markers. In vitro, DMSO was observed to impede the effects of the chondrogenic factors. The mouse knee defect model experiment revealed that hWJ-MSC sheets grown with the addition of resveratrol and Y27632 were well integrated with the surrounding tissues; however, after 3 months, the restored tissue was identical to that of the naturally healed cartilage injury. Thus, the combination of chondrogenic supplements may not always have additive effects on the progress of cell culture and could be neutralized by the microenvironment after transplantation.

Abstract
Hyaline cartilage, which is characterized by the absence of vascularization and innervation, has minimal self-repair potential in case of damage and defect formation in the chondral layer. Chondrocytes are specialized cells that ensure the synthesis of extracellular matrix components, namely type II collagen and aggregen. On their surface, they express integrins CD44, α1β1, α3β1, α5β1, α10β1, αVβ1, αVβ3, and αVβ5, which are also collagen-binding components of the extracellular matrix. This article aims to contribute to solving the problem of the possible repair of chondral defects through unique methods of tissue engineering, as well as the process of pathological events in articular cartilage. In vitro cell culture models used for hyaline cartilage repair could bring about advanced possibilities. Currently, there are several variants of the combination of natural and synthetic polymers and chondrocytes. In a three-dimensional environment, chondrocytes retain their production capacity. In the case of mesenchymal stromal cells, their favorable ability is to differentiate into a chondrogenic lineage in a three-dimensional culture.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADSC)-based therapies have been utilized for cartilage regeneration because of their multi-lineage differentiation ability. However, commonly used cartilage inducers such as the transforming growth factor beta-3 (TGF-β3) may be prone to cartilage dedifferentiation and hypertrophy. The directional differentiation of elastic cartilage is limited nowadays. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been reported to influence the specific differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) by reflecting the composition of the parental cells. However, the role of auricular chondrogenic-derived EVs (AC-EVs) in elastic chondrogenic differentiation of ADSCs has not yet been reported. RESULTS AC-EVs isolated from the external ears of swine exhibited a positive effect on cell proliferation and migration. Furthermore, AC-EVs efficiently promoted chondrogenic differentiation of ADSCs in pellet culture, as shown by the elevated levels of COL2A1, ACAN, and SOX-9 expression. Moreover, there was a significantly higher expression of elastin and a lower expression of the fibrotic marker COL1A1 in comparison with that achieved with TGF-β3. The staining results demonstrated that AC-EVs promoted the deposition of cartilage-specific matrix, which is in good concordance with the real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results. CONCLUSIONS Auricular chondrogenic-derived EVs are a crucial component in elastic chondrogenic differentiation and other biological behaviors of ADSCs, which may be a useful ingredient for cartilage tissue engineering and external ear reconstruction.

Abstract
Introduction To repair cartilage defect as well as the calcified cartilage layer (CCL) and bone tissue, there is need to fabricate a three-phase complex that mimics the natural cartilage tissue. Materials and methods SF/Col-Ⅱ/HA scaffolds were constructed by low-temperature 3D printing, and to prepare a three-phase complex. The microstructure were showed using a SEM image analysis program. To observe collagen and glycosaminoglycan expression and analyze morphometric parameters, HE staining was performed to reveal new cartilage. Immunohistochemical were performed to investigate the collagen content and defect repair status in the new cartilage group in vitro and vivo. Results Physical and biochemical properties and biocompatibility of three-phase complex met the requirements of constructing tissue-engineered cartilage. The OD values increased gradually at different time points. With increasing culture time, the OD values showed an upward trend. The HE and immunohistochemical staining results showed that new cartilage had formed at the defect and new cartilage formation occurred during in vivo repair. Conclusion 3DP-anchored three-phase complexes have good physical and biochemical properties and biocompatibility and thus represent an alternative cartilage tissue engineering material.

Abstract
The nasal septal cartilage plays an important role in preventing the collapse of the nasal bones and maintaining the appearance of the nose. In the context of inherent difficulties regarding septal cartilage repair and the shortage of cartilage graft resources for regeneration, tissue engineering, especially the in situ strategy based on scaffolds, has become a new prospect and become one of the most promising approaches. Given that it is difficult for chondrocytes to achieve directional migration and secrete matrix components to participate in tissue repair after cartilage injury, cartilage progenitor cells (CPCs), with great migratory ability and stem cell characteristics, have caught the attention of researchers and brought hope for nasal septal cartilage in situ regeneration. In this review, we first summarized the distribution, characteristics, isolation, and culture methods of nasal septal CPCs. Subsequently, we described the roles of migratory CPCs in cartilage regeneration. Finally, we reviewed the existing studies on CPCs-based cartilage tissue engineering and summarized the strategies for promoting the migration and chondrogenesis of CPCs so as to provide ideas for achieving nasal septal cartilage in situ regeneration.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that chondrocytes within articular cartilage are affected by endogenous force-related electrical potentials. Furthermore, electrical stimulation (ES) promotes the proliferation of chondrocytes and the synthesis of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules, which accelerate the healing of cartilage defects. These findings suggest the potential application of ES in cartilage repair. In this review, we summarize the pathogenesis of articular cartilage injuries and the current clinical strategies for the treatment of articular cartilage injuries. We then focus on the application of ES in the repair of articular cartilage in vivo. The ES-induced chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and its potential regulatory mechanism are discussed in detail. In addition, we discuss the potential of applying piezoelectric materials in the process of constructing engineering articular cartilage, highlighting the important advances in the unique field of tissue engineering.
