Repair of osteochondral defects: efficacy of a tissue-engineered hybrid implant containing both human MSC and human iPSC-cartilaginous particles. NPJ Regen Med 2023; 8:59. [PMID: 37857652 PMCID: PMC10587071 DOI: 10.1038/s41536-023-00335-x] [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: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Both mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) offer the potential for repair of damaged connective tissues. The use of hybrid implants containing both human MSC and iPSC was investigated to assess their combined potential to yield enhanced repair of osteochondral defects. Human iPSC-CP wrapped with tissue engineered constructs (TEC) containing human MSC attained secure defect filling with good integration to adjacent tissue in a rat osteochondral injury model. The presence of living MSC in the hybrid implants was required for effective biphasic osteochondral repair. Thus, the TEC component of such hybrid implants serves several critical functions including, adhesion to the defect site via the matrix and facilitation of the repair via live MSC, as well as enhanced angiogenesis and neovascularization. Based on these encouraging studies, such hybrid implants may offer an effective future intervention for repair of complex osteochondral defects.

Abstract
Heterochronic parabiosis has shown that aging individuals can be rejuvenated by a youthful circulatory system; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we evaluated the effect of exosomes isolated from mouse induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) on angiogenesis in naturally aged mice. To achieve this, the angiogenic capacity of aortic ring, the total antioxidant capacity (TAOC), p53 and p16 expression levels of major organs, the proliferation of adherent bone marrow cells, and the function and content of serum exosomes in aged mice administered iPSC-derived exosomes were examined. Additionally, the effect of iPSC-derived exosomes on injured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was assessed. The angiogenic capacity of aortic rings and clonality of bone marrow cells from young mice were significantly higher than those from aged mice; moreover, the organs of aged mice had a higher expression of aging genes and lower total TAOC. However, in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that the administration of iPSC-derived exosomes significantly improved these parameters in aged mice. The synergistic effect of both in vivo and in vitro treatments of aortic rings with iPSC-derived exosomes improved the angiogenic capacity of aortic rings from aged mice to levels similar to that of young mice. Compared with untreated aged mice, serum exosomal protein content and their promoted effect on endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis were significantly higher in untreated young mice and aged mice treated with iPSC-derived exosomes. Overall, these results showed that iPSC-derived exosomes may rejuvenate the body by anti-aging the vascular system.

Multilineage-Differentiating Stress-Enduring Cells (Muse Cells): An Easily Accessible, Pluripotent Stem Cell Niche with Unique and Powerful Properties for Multiple Regenerative Medicine Applications.

[PMID: 37371682 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11061587] [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: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Cell-based therapy in regenerative medicine is a powerful tool that can be used both to restore various cells lost in a wide range of human disorders and in renewal processes. Stem cells show promise for universal use in clinical medicine, potentially enabling the regeneration of numerous organs and tissues in the human body. This is possible due to their self-renewal, mature cell differentiation, and factors release. To date, pluripotent stem cells seem to be the most promising. Recently, a novel stem cell niche, called multilineage-differentiating stress-enduring (Muse) cells, is emerging. These cells are of particular interest because they are pluripotent and are found in adult human mesenchymal tissues. Thanks to this, they can produce cells representative of all three germ layers. Furthermore, they can be easily harvested from fat and isolated from the mesenchymal stem cells. This makes them very promising, allowing autologous treatments and avoiding the problems of rejection typical of transplants. Muse cells have recently been employed, with encouraging results, in numerous preclinical studies performed to test their efficacy in the treatment of various pathologies. This review aimed to (1) highlight the specific potential of Muse cells and provide a better understanding of this niche and (2) originate the first organized review of already tested applications of Muse cells in regenerative medicine. The obtained results could be useful to extend the possible therapeutic applications of disease healing.

Myocardial infarction from a tissue engineering and regenerative medicine point of view: A comprehensive review on models and treatments. BIOPHYSICS REVIEWS 2022; 3:031305. [PMID: 36091931 PMCID: PMC9447372 DOI: 10.1063/5.0093399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
In the modern world, myocardial infarction is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases, which are responsible for around 18 million deaths every year or almost 32% of all deaths. Due to the detrimental effects of COVID-19 on the cardiovascular system, this rate is expected to increase in the coming years. Although there has been some progress in myocardial infarction treatment, translating pre-clinical findings to the clinic remains a major challenge. One reason for this is the lack of reliable and human representative healthy and fibrotic cardiac tissue models that can be used to understand the fundamentals of ischemic/reperfusion injury caused by myocardial infarction and to test new drugs and therapeutic strategies. In this review, we first present an overview of the anatomy of the heart and the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction, and then discuss the recent developments on pre-clinical infarct models, focusing mainly on the engineered three-dimensional cardiac ischemic/reperfusion injury and fibrosis models developed using different engineering methods such as organoids, microfluidic devices, and bioprinted constructs. We also present the benefits and limitations of emerging and promising regenerative therapy treatments for myocardial infarction such as cell therapies, extracellular vesicles, and cardiac patches. This review aims to overview recent advances in three-dimensional engineered infarct models and current regenerative therapeutic options, which can be used as a guide for developing new models and treatment strategies.

Abstract
As a new cell-free therapy, exosomes have provided new ideas for the treatment of various diseases. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) cannot be used in clinical trials because of tumorigenicity, but the exosomes derived from hiPSCs may combine the advantages of iPSC pluripotency and the nanoscale size of exosomes while avoiding tumorigenicity. Currently, the safety and biodistribution of hiPSC-exosomes in vivo are unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of hiPSC-exosomes on hemolysis, DNA damage, and cytotoxicity through cell experiments. We also explored the safety of vein injection of hiPSC-exosomes in rabbits and rats. Differences in organ distribution after nasal administration were compared in normal and Parkinson’s disease model mice. This study may provide support for clinical therapy and research of intravenous and nasal administration of hiPSC-exosomes.

Cell Biol Int 2022; 46:1409-1422.

Abstract
Somatic cell reprogramming was achieved by lentivirus mediated overexpression of four transcription factors called OSKM: OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC but it was not very efficient. Here, we reported that the transcription factor, LMCD1 (LIM and cysteine rich domains 1) together with OSKM can induce reprogramming of human dermal fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) more efficiently than OSKM alone. At the same time, the number of iPSCs clones were reduced when we knocked down LMCD1. Further study showed that LMCD1 can enhance the cell proliferation, the glycolytic capability, the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and reduce the epigenetic barrier by upregulating epigenetic factors (EZH2, WDR5, BMI1, and KDM2B) in the early stage of reprogramming, making the cells more accessible to gain pluripotency. Additional research suggested that LMCD1 can not only inhibit the developmental gene GATA6, but also promote multiple signaling pathways, such as AKT and glycolysis, which are closely related to reprogramming efficiency. Therefore, we identified the novel function of the transcription factor LMCD1, which reduces the barriers of the reprogramming from somatic to pluripotent cells in several ways in the early stage of reprogramming.

Exosomes from Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells with Overexpressed Nrf2 Inhibit Cardiac Fibrosis in Rats with Atrial Fibrillation. Cardiovasc Ther 2022; 2022:2687807. [PMID: 35360547 PMCID: PMC8941574 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2687807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 02/26/2022] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Even though nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling has been associated with the pathogenesis of multiple heart conditions, data on roles of Nrf2 within atrial fibrillation (AF) still remain scant. The present investigation had the aim of analyzing Nrf2-overexpressing role/s upon bone mesenchymal stem cell- (BMSC-) derived exosomes in rats with AF. Methods Exosomes were collected from control or Nrf2 lentivirus-transduced BMSCs and then injected into rats with AF through the tail vein. AF duration was observed using electrocardiography. Immunohistochemical staining was then employed for assessing Nrf2, HO-1, α-SMA, collagen I, or TGF-β1 expression profiles within atrial myocardium tissues. Conversely, Masson staining was utilized to evaluate atrial fibrosis whereas apoptosis within myocardia was evaluated through TUNEL assays. In addition, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-4, or IL-10 serum expression was assessed through ELISA. Results Results of the current study showed significant downregulation of Nrf2/HO-1 within AF rat myocardia. It was found that injection of the control or Lv-Nrf2 exosomes significantly alleviated and lowered AF timespans together with reducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Moreover, injection of Lv-Nrf2 exosomes essentially lowered AF-driven atrial fibrosis and also inhibited inflammatory responses in the rats with AF. Conclusion Delivery of BMSC-derived exosomes using overexpressed Nrf2 inhibited AF-induced arrhythmias, myocardial fibrosis, apoptosis, and inflammation via Nrf2/HO-1 pathway triggering.
