Abstract
The stromal-vascular fraction (SVF), comprising heterogeneous cell populations and adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs), has therapeutic potential against osteoarthritis (OA); however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of heterogeneous cells in rabbit SVF on rabbit chondrocytes. Rabbit SVF and ADSCs were autografted into knees at OA onset. The SVF (1 × 105) and low-dose ADSCs (lADSC; 1 × 104) groups adjusted for their stromal cell content were compared. Animals were euthanized 8 and 12 weeks after OA onset for macroscopic and histological analyses of OA progression and synovitis. Immunohistochemical and real-time polymerase chain reaction assessments were conducted. In vitro, immune-fluorescent double staining was performed for SVF to stain macrophages with F4/80, CD86(M1), and CD163(M2). OA progression was markedly suppressed, and synovitis was reduced in the SVF groups (OARSI histological score 8 W: 6.8 ± 0.75 vs. 3.8 ± 0.75, p = 0.001; 12 W: 8.8 ± 0.4 vs. 5.4 ± 0.49, p = 0.0002). The SVF groups had higher expression of collagen II and SOX9 in cartilage and TGF-β and IL-10 in the synovium, lower expression of MMP-13, and lower macrophage M1/M2 ratio than the lADSC groups. Immunofluorescent double staining revealed a markedly higher number of M2 than that of M1 macrophages in the SVF. The therapeutic effects of SVF on chondrocytes were superior than those of lADSCs, with enhanced anabolic and inhibited catabolic factors. Heterogeneous cells, mainly M2 macrophages in the SVF, enhanced growth factor secretion and chondrocyte-protective cytokines, thus benefiting chondrocytes and knee joint homeostasis. Overall, the SVF is a safe, relatively simple, and a useful treatment option for OA.

Effects of Growth Factor Combinations TGFβ3, GDF5 and GDF6 on the Matrix Synthesis of Nucleus Pulposus and Nasoseptal Chondrocyte Self-Assembled Microtissues. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
There has been significant interest in identifying alternative cell sources and growth factor stimulation to improve matrix synthesis for disc repair. Recent work has identified nasoseptal chondrocytes (NC) as a possible alternative cell source with significant matrix-forming abilities. While various growth factors such as members of the TGFβ superfamily have been explored to enhance matrix formation, no consensus exists as to the optimum growth factor needed to induce cells towards a discogenic phenotype. This study assessed both nucleus pulposus (NP) and NC microtissues of different densities (1000, 2500 or 5000 cells/microtissue) stimulated by individual or combinations of the growth factors TGFβ3, GDF5, and GDF6. Lower cell densities result in increased sGAG/DNA and collagen/DNA levels due to higher nutrient availability levels. Our findings suggest that growth factors exert differential effects on matrix synthesis depending on the cell type. NP cells were found to be relatively insensitive to the different growth factor types examined in isolation or in combination. Overall, NCs exhibited a higher propensity to form extracellular matrix compared to NP cells. In addition, stimulating NC-microtissues with GDF5 or TGFβ3 alone induced enhanced matrix formation and may be an appropriate growth factor to stimulate this cell type for disc regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of stem cells, growth factors, and scaffolds to repair damaged tissues is a new idea in tissue engineering. The aim of the present study is the investigation of Avocado/soybean (A/S) effects on chondrogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) in micromass culture to access cartilage tissue with high quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this an experimental study After hADSCs characterization, chondrogenic differentiation was induced using transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) (10 ng/ml) and different concentrations (5, 10, and 20 μg/ml) of A/S in micromass culture. The efficiency of A/S on specific gene expression (types I, II, and X collagens, SOX9, and aggrecan) was evaluated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. In addition, histological study was done using hematoxylin and eosin and toluidine blue staining all data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and P ≤ 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS The results of this study indicated that A/S can promote chondrogenic differentiation in a dose-dependent manner. In particular, 5 ng/ml A/S showed the highest expression of type II collagen, SOX9, and aggrecan which are effective and important markers in chondrogenic differentiation. In addition, the expression of types I and X collagens which are hypertrophic and fibrous factors in chondrogenesis is lower in present of 5 ng/ml A/S compared with TGF-β1 group (P ≤ 0.05). Moreover, the sulfated glycosaminoglycans in the extracellular matrix and the presence of chondrocytes within lacuna were more prominent in 5 ng/ml A/S group than other groups. CONCLUSION It can be concluded that A/S similar to TGF-β1 is able to facilitate the chondrogenic differentiation of hADSCs and do not have adverse effects of TGF-β1. Thus, TGF-β1 can be replaced by A/S in the field of tissue engineering.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc (IVD) disorder is often caused by the defect of annulus fibrosus (AF), especially that of the outer AF. Studies about the mechanisms governing the development of the outer AF are needed for a better understanding of pathogenesis of IVD defects. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are essential components of extracellular matrix (ECM) in AF. FAM20B is a newly identified xylose kinase that catalyzes the biosynthesis of GAGs. In this study, we created Fam20B conditional knockout (cKO) mice in which FAM20B was inactivated in type I collagen-expressing cells, the main type of cells in the outer AF of IVD. The cKO mice showed severe spine deformity and remarkable IVD defects associated with AF malformation. The AF of cKO mice had a lower level of chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate, and the outer AF cells lost their normal fibroblast-like morphology and acquired chondrocyte phenotypes, expressing a higher level of Sox 9 and type II collagen along with a reduced level of type I collagen. The level of phospho-Smad 2 and phospho-Smad 3, and that of scleraxis, a downstream target molecule of canonical TGF-β signaling pathway were significantly lower in the AF of cKO mice. The AF in cKO mice also manifested altered levels in the molecules associated with the activations of MAPK pathway; the changes included the increase of phospho-P38 and phospho-ERK and a decrease of phospho-JNK. These results indicate that FAM20B plays an essential role in the development of AF by regulating the TGF-β signaling and MAPK signaling pathways.

Abstract
The role of uncultured adipose-derived stromal cells for osteoarthritis treatment remains unclear despite sporadic reports supporting their use in clinical settings. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of autologous uncultured adipose-derived stromal cell transplantation in a rabbit osteoarthritis model. Uncultured adipose-derived stromal cells isolated from rabbits were administered via intra-articular injection into the knees after osteoarthritis onset. Animals were sacrificed at 8 and 12 weeks after osteoarthritis onset to compare the macroscopic, histological, and immunohistochemical characteristics between the uncultured adipose-derived stromal cell and control groups. Co-culture assay was also performed. The chondrocytes isolated from the model were co-cultured with adipose-derived stromal cells. The cell viability of chondrocytes and expression of chondrocyte-specific genes in the co-culture (uncultured adipose-derived stromal cell) group were compared with the mono-culture (control; chondrocytes only) group. In macroscopic and histological analyses, the uncultured adipose-derived stromal cell group showed less damage to the cartilage surface than the control group at 8 and 12 weeks after osteoarthritis onset. In immunohistochemical and co-culture assay, the uncultured adipose-derived stromal cell group showed higher expression of collagen type II and SRY box-9 and lower expression of matrix metalloproteinase-13 than the control group. The cell viability of chondrocytes in the uncultured adipose-derived stromal cell group was higher than that in the control group. Intra-articular autologous uncultured adipose-derived stromal cell transplantation inhibited the progression of cartilage degeneration in a rabbit osteoarthritis model by regulating chondrocyte viability and secreting chondrocyte-protecting cytokines or growth factors, which promote anabolic factors and inhibit catabolic factors. © 2018 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Tissue resident adult stem cells are known to participate in tissue regeneration and repair that follows cell turnover, or injury. It has been well established that aging impedes the regeneration capabilities at the cellular level, but it is not clear if the different onset of stem cell aging between individuals can be predicted or prevented at an earlier stage. Here we studied the dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), a population of adult stem cells that is known to participate in the repair of an injured tooth, and its properties can be affected by aging. The dental pulp from third molars of a diverse patient group were surgically extracted, generating cells that had a high percentage of mesenchymal stem cell markers CD29, CD44, CD146 and Stro1 and had the ability to differentiate into osteo/odontogenic and adipogenic lineages. Through RNA seq and qPCR analysis we identified homeobox protein, Barx1, as a marker for DPSCs. Furthermore, using high throughput transcriptomic and proteomic analysis we identified markers for DPSC populations with accelerated replicative senescence. In particular, we show that the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) pathway and the cytoskeletal proteins are upregulated in rapid aging DPSCs, indicating a loss of stem cell characteristics and spontaneous initiation of terminal differentiation. Importantly, using metabolic flux analysis, we identified a metabolic signature for the rapid aging DPSCs, prior to manifestation of senescence phenotypes. This metabolic signature therefore can be used to predict the onset of replicative senescence. Hence, the present study identifies Barx1 as a DPSCs marker and dissects the first predictive metabolic signature for DPSCs aging.

Abstract
Background: Nowadays, cartilage tissue engineering is the best candidate for regeneration of cartilage defects. This study evaluates the function of herbal extracts icariin (ICA), the major pharmacological constituent of herba Epimedium, compared with transforming growth factor β3 (TGFβ3) to prove its potential effect for cartilage tissue engineering. Materials and Methods: ICA, TGFβ3, and TGFβ3 + ICA were added fibrin-cell constructions derived from adipose tissue stem cells. After 14 days, cell viability analyzed by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H- tetrazolium bromide assay and the expression of cartilage genes was evaluated with real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results: The results showed ICA, TGFβ3, and TGFβ3 + ICA increased the rate of proliferation and viability of cells; but there were no significant differences between them (P > 0.05). Furthermore, quantitative RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that cooperation of ICA with TGFβ3 showed a better effect in expression of cartilaginous specific genes and increased Sox9, type II collagen, and aggrecan expression significantly. Furthermore, the results of the expression of type I and X collagens revealed that TGFβ3 increased the expression of them (P < 0.01); However, treatment with ICA + TGFβ3 down regulated the expression of these genes significantly. Conclusion: The results indicated ICA could be a potential factor for chondrogenesis and in cooperation with TGFβ3 could reduce its hypertrophic effects and it is a promising factor for cartilage tissue engineering.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effects of nucleus localization signal linked nucleic kinase substrate short peptide (NNS) conjugated chitosan (CS) ( NNSCS) mediated the transfection of microRNA-140 (miR-140) in rabbit articular chondrocytes in vitro. Methods Recombinant plasmid GV268-miR-140 and empty plasmid GV268 were combined with NNSCS to form NNSCS/pDNA complexes, respectively. Chondrocytes were isolated and cultured through trypsin and collagenase digestion from articular cartilage of newborn New Zealand white rabbits. The second generation chondrocytes were divided into 3 intervention groups: normal cell control group (group A), NNSCS/GV268 empty plasmid transfection group (group B), and NNSCS/GV268-miR-140 transfection group (group C). NNSCS/GV268 and NNSCS/GV268-miR- 140 complexes were transiently transfected into cells of groups B and C. After transfection, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expressions of exogenous miR-140; Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI double staining and MTT assay were used to detect the effect of exogenous miR-140 on apoptosis and proliferation of transfected chondrocytes; the expressions of Sox9, Aggrecan, and histone deacetylase 4 (Hdac4) were detected by RT-qPCR. Results RT-qPCR showed that the expression of miR-140 in group C was significantly higher than that in groups A and B ( P<0.05). Compared with groups A and B, the apoptosis rate in group C was decreased and the proliferation activity was improved, Sox9 and Aggrecan gene expressions were significantly up-regulated, and Hdac4 gene expression was significantly down-regulated ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in above indexes between groups A and B ( P>0.05). Conclusion Exogenous gene can be carried into the chondrocytes by NNSCS and expressed efficiently, the high expression of miR-140 can improve the biological activity of chondrocytes cultured in vitro, which provides important experimental basis for the treatment of cartilage damage diseases.

Abstract
Drug therapy is one of the typical treatments for post-injury inflammation of cartilage. Traditional Chinese herbs have potential as treatments, as their long history of clinical application has demonstrated they are effective and induce minimal side effects. Baicalin is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been used to treat inflammation, fever, ulcers and cancer for hundreds of years. Previous studies have demonstrated that baicalin may decrease levels of interleukin-1β and suppress the expression of type-I collagen, thus attenuating cartilage degeneration. In the present study, the effect of baicalin on chondrocytes was assessed by examining the morphology, proliferation, extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and cartilage-specific gene expression of chondrocytes. The results indicated that baicalin may promote the proliferation of articular chondrocytes, secretion of cartilage ECM and collagen type II, aggrecan and SRY box (Sox) 9 gene upregulation. The expression of collagen I, a marker of chondrocyte dedifferentiation, was downregulated by baicalin; therefore, baicalin may maintain the phenotype of chondrocytes. Within the recommended concentrations of baicalin ranging from 0.625-6.25 µmol/l cell proliferation was increased and a 1.25 µmol/l dose of baicalin exerted the most positive effect on articular chondrocytes. The results of the present study may therefore indicate that baicalin may be used as a novel agent promoting the repair of articular cartilage damage.
