Abstract
Skeletal problems are an increasing issue due to the increase in the global aging population. Different statistics reports show that today, the global population is aging that results in skeletal problems, increased health system costs, and even higher mortality associated with skeletal problems. Common treatments such as surgery and bone grafts are not always effective and in some cases, they can even cause secondary problems such as infections or improper repair. Cell therapy is a method that can be utilized along with common treatments independently. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a very important and efficient source in terms of different diseases, especially bone problems. These cells are present in different tissues such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical cord, placenta, dental pulp, peripheral blood, amniotic fluid and others. Among the types of MSCs, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) are the most widely used source of these cells, which have appeared to be very effective and promising in terms of skeletal diseases, especially compared to the other sources of MSCs. This study focuses on the specific potential and content of BMMSCs from which the specific capacity of these cells originates, and compares their osteogenic potential with other types of MSCs, and also the future directions in the application of BMMSCs as a source for cell therapy.

Abstract
In the past decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as key regulators of bone development, homeostasis and repair. EV-based therapies have the potential to circumnavigate key issues hindering the translation of cell-based therapies including functional tissue engraftment, uncontrolled differentiation and immunogenicity issues. Due to EVs' innate biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and high physiochemical stability, these naturally-derived nanoparticles have garnered growing interest as potential acellular nanoscale therapeutics for a variety of diseases. Our increasing knowledge of the roles these cell-derived nanoparticles play, has made them an exciting focus in the development of novel pro-regenerative therapies for bone repair. Although these nano-sized vesicles have shown promise, their clinical translation is hindered due to several challenges in the EV supply chain, ultimately impacting therapeutic efficacy and yield. From the biochemical and biophysical stimulation of parental cells to the transition to scalable manufacture or maximising vesicles therapeutic response in vivo, a multitude of techniques have been employed to improve the clinical efficacy of EVs. This review explores state of the art bioengineering strategies to promote the therapeutic utility of vesicles beyond their native capacity, thus maximising the clinical potential of these pro-regenerative nanoscale therapeutics for bone repair.

IRANIAN JOURNAL OF BASIC MEDICAL SCIENCES 2023; 26:872-881.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare deadly progressive neurological disease that primarily affects the upper and lower motor neurons with an annual incidence rate of 0.6 to 3.8 per 100,000 people. Weakening and gradual atrophy of the voluntary muscles are the first signs of the disease onset affecting all aspects of patients' lives, including eating, speaking, moving, and even breathing. Only 5-10% of patients have a familial type of the disease and show an autosomal dominant pattern, but the cause of the disease is unknown in the remaining 90% of patients (Sporadic ALS). However, in both types of disease, the patient's survival is 2 to 5 years from the disease onset. Some clinical and molecular biomarkers, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), blood or urine test, muscle biopsy, and genetic testing are complementary methods for disease diagnosis. Unfortunately, with the exception of Riluzole, the only medically approved drug for the management of this disease, there is still no definitive cure for it. In this regard, the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for the treatment or management of the disease has been common in preclinical and clinical studies for many years. MSCs are multipotent cells having immunoregulatory, anti-inflammatory, and differentiation ability that makes them a good candidate for this purpose. This review article aims to discuss multiple aspects of ALS disease and focus on MSCs' role in disease management based on performed clinical trials.

Abstract
Today, communities and their health systems are facing with several challenges associated with the population ageing. Growing number of bone disorders is one of the most serious consequences of aging. According to the reports bone disorders won't just affect the elderly population. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that could be derived from a variety of tissues including bone marrow, Wharton's Jelly, adipose tissue, and others. MSCs have been utilized in different researches in the field of regenerative medicine because of their immunosuppression and anti-inflammatory mechanisms (like: inhibiting the activity of antigen presenting cells, and suppressing the activity of T lymphocyte cells, macrophages, and so on.), migration to injured areas, and participation in healing processes. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) are a type of these cells which can be commonly used in bone research with the promising results. These cells function by releasing a large number of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Exosomes are the most major EVs products produced by BMMSCs. They have the same contents and properties as their parent cells; however, these structures don't have the defects of cell therapy. Proteins (annexins, tetraspannins, etc.), lipids (cholesterol, phosphoglycerides, etc.), nucleic acids (micro-RNAs, and etc.) and other substances are found in exosomes. Exosomes affect target cells, causing them to change their function. The features of BMMSC exosomes' mechanism in osteogenesis and bone regeneration (like: effects on other MSCs, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and angiogenesis) and also the effects of their micro-RNAs on osteogenesis are the subject of the present review.

Overexpressed Thrombospondin 2 Induced Osteogenic Differentiation of Valve Interstitial Cells via Inhibition of Akt/NF-κB Signaling Pathway to Promote Calcific Aortic Valve Disease Development. DISEASE MARKERS 2022; 2022:2022958. [PMID: 36118676 PMCID: PMC9477632 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2022958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Revised: 07/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Thrombospondin 2 (THBS2) is reported to participate in the development of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), while the effects are not elucidated completely. The study aimed to explore the role and mechanism of THBS2 in CAVD. Differentially expressed genes related to stenosis and sclerosis were screened through Limma package based on data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and the functional enrichment analysis was performed by the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) database. The immunoreactivity of THBS2 in CAVD and normal samples was detected through immunohistochemistry. Valve interstitial cells (VICs) were transfected with short hairpin RNA against THBS2 (shTHBS2) and THBS2 overexpression plasmid and treated with LY294002 (Akt inhibitor) and induced osteogenic differentiation. The expression of THBS2 in CAVD and normal samples and the levels of THBS2, osteocalcin, Runx2, SPARC, COL1A2, COL1A1, SPP1, CTGF, MMP-2, MMP-13, Akt, p-Akt, p65, p-p65, and nuclear p65 in VICs were tested by qRT-PCR and Western blot. ALP activity was assessed using colorimetry. Calcic nodule formation was measured by Alizarin Red staining. THBS2 and PI3K-Akt pathway were differentially enriched in stenosis samples when compared with those in sclerosis samples. THBS2 expression was upregulated in CAVD and positively correlated with ALP activity, calcic nodule formation, osteogenic differentiation-related (osteocalcin, Runx2, SPARC, COL1A2, COL1A1, SPP1, and CTGF) and extracellular matrix– (ECM–) related (MMP-2 and MMP-13) factors in the process of osteogenic differentiation. ShTHBS2 suppressed ALP activity, calcic nodule formation, and osteogenic differentiation/ECM-related molecules while upregulating p-Akt/Akt, p-p65/p65, and nuclear p65 expressions in VICs during osteogenic differentiation. However, THBS2 overexpression had the opposite effect to shTHBS2, and LY294002 reversed the effect of shTHBS2. Collectively, overexpressed THBS2 induces the osteogenic differentiation of VICs via inhibiting Akt/NF-κB pathway to promote the development of CAVD.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are stem cells with the potential ability to differentiate into various cells and the ability to self-renew and resemble fibroblasts. These cells can adhere to plastic to facilitate the culture process. MSCs can be used in research into tissue biotechnology and rejuvenation medicine. MSCs are also beneficial in recipient tissue and differentiate as a breakthrough strategy through paracrine activity. Many databases have shown MSC-based treatment can be beneficial in the reduction of osteogenesis induced by senescence. In this article, we will discuss the potential effect of MSCs in senescence cells related to osteogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone remodeling is a lifelong process that ranges from orthodontic tooth movement/alignment to bone damage/healing, to overall bone health. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) are secreted by osteoblasts and participate in bone remodeling. OPG promotes bone remineralization and stabilization prominent in post-mechanical repositioning of the teeth in the dental alveolus. TGF-β1 participates in regulatory processes to promote osteoblast and osteoclast equilibrium. In the context of orthodontic tooth movement, post-treatment fixation requires additional, exogenous, stabilization support. Recent research showcases supplementary solutions, in conjunction to standard tooth fixation techniques, such as OPG injections into gum and periodontal tissues to accelerate tooth anchorage; however, injections are prone to post-procedure complications and discomfort. This study utilizes noninvasive bioelectric stimulation (BES) to modulate OPG and TGF-β1 as a novel solution to regulate bone remineralization specifically in the context of post-orthodontic tooth movement. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate a spectrum of BES parameters that would modulate OPG and TGF-β1 expression in osteoblasts. METHODS Osteoblasts were cultured and stimulated using frequencies from 25 Hz to 3 MHz. RT-qPCR was used to quantify changes in OPG and TGFb-1 mRNA expression. RESULTS OPG mRNA expression was significantly increased at frequencies above 10,000 Hz with a maximum expression increase of 332 ± 8% at 100 kHz. Conversely, OPG mRNA expression was downregulated at frequencies lower than 1000 Hz. TGF-β1 mRNA expression increased throughout all stimulation frequencies with a peak of 332 ± 72% at 250 kHz. Alizarin Red tests for calcium, indicated that mineralization of stimulated osteoblasts in vitro increased 28% after 6 weeks in culture. DISCUSSION Results support the working hypothesis that OPG and TGF-β1 mRNA expression can be modulated through BES. Noninvasive BES approaches have the potential to accelerate bone remineralization by providing a novel tool to supplement the anchorage process, reduce complications, and promote patient compliance and reduce post-treatment relapse. Noninvasive BES may be applicable to other clinical applications as a novel therapeutic tool to modulate bone remodeling.

Regen Ther 2021; 18:152-160. [PMID: 34124322 PMCID: PMC8185247 DOI: 10.1016/j.reth.2021.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2021] [Revised: 05/30/2021] [Accepted: 05/31/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The Covid-19 disease has recently become one of the biggest challenges globally, and there is still no specific medication. Findings showed the immune system in severe Covid-19 patients loses regulatory control of pro-inflammatory cytokines, especially IL-6 production, called the "Cytokine storm" process. This process can cause injury to vital organs, including lungs, kidneys, liver, and ultimately death if not inhibited. While many treatments have been proposed to reduce cytokine storm, but the safety and effectiveness of each of them are still in doubt. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells with self-renewal potential capable of suppressing overactive immune responses and leading to tissue restoration and repair. These immuno-modulatory properties of MSCs and their derivatives (like exosomes) can improve the condition of Covid-19 patients with serious infectious symptoms caused by adaptive immune system dysfunction. Many clinical trials have been conducted in this field using various MSCs around the world. Some of these have been published and summarized in the present article, while many have not yet been completed. Based on these available data, MSCs can reduce inflammatory cytokines, increase oxygen saturation, regenerate lung tissue and improve clinical symptoms in Covid-19 patients. The review article aims to collect available clinical data in more detail and investigate the role of MSCs in reducing cytokine storms as well as improving clinical parameters of Covid-19 patients for use in future clinical studies.

Abstract
The therapeutic potential of the dental pulp stem (DSC) cell-derived secretome, consisting of various biomolecules, is undergoing intense research. Despite promising in vitro and in vivo studies, most DSC secretome-based therapies have not been implemented in human medicine because the paracrine effect of the bioactive factors secreted by human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) and human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) is not completely understood. In this review, we outline the current data on the hDPSC- and SHED-derived secretome as a potential candidate in the regeneration of bone, cartilage, and nerve tissue. Published reports demonstrate that the dental MSC-derived secretome/conditional medium may be effective in treating neurodegenerative diseases, neural injuries, cartilage defects, and repairing bone by regulating neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and angiogenic processes through secretome paracrine mechanisms. Dental MSC-secretomes, similarly to the bone marrow MSC-secretome activate molecular and cellular mechanisms, which determine the effectiveness of cell-free therapy. Many reports emphasize that dental MSC-derived secretomes have potential application in tissue-regenerating therapy due to their multidirectional paracrine effect observed in the therapy of many different injured tissues.

Abstract
In recent decades, research on the therapeutic potential of progenitor cells has advanced considerably. Among progenitor cells, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have attracted significant interest and have proven to be a promising tool for regenerative medicine. MSCs are isolated from various anatomical sites, including bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord. Advances in separation, culture, and expansion techniques for MSCs have enabled their large-scale therapeutic application. This progress accompanied by the rapid improvement of transplantation practices has enhanced the utilization of MSCs in regenerative medicine. During tissue healing, MSCs may exhibit several therapeutic functions to support the repair and regeneration of injured tissue. The process underlying these effects likely involves the migration and homing of MSCs, as well as their immunotropic functions. The direct differentiation of MSCs as a cell replacement therapeutic mechanism is discussed. The fate and behavior of MSCs are further regulated by their microenvironment, which may consequently influence their repair potential. A paracrine pathway based on the release of different messengers, including regulatory factors, chemokines, cytokines, growth factors, and nucleic acids that can be secreted or packaged into extracellular vesicles, is also implicated in the therapeutic properties of MSCs. In this review, we will discuss relevant outcomes regarding the properties and roles of MSCs during tissue repair and regeneration. We will critically examine the influence of the local microenvironment, especially immunological and inflammatory signals, as well as the mechanisms underlying these therapeutic effects. Importantly, we will describe the interactions of local progenitor and immune cells with MSCs and their modulation during tissue injury. We will also highlight the crucial role of paracrine pathways, including the role of extracellular vesicles, in this healing process. Moreover, we will discuss the therapeutic potential of MSCs and MSC-derived extracellular vesicles in the treatment of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) patients. Overall, this review will provide a better understanding of MSC-based therapies as a novel immunoregenerative strategy.

The Gingiva from the Tissue Surrounding the Bone to the Tissue Regenerating the Bone: A Systematic Review of the Osteogenic Capacity of Gingival Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Preclinical Studies. Stem Cells Int 2021; 2021:6698100. [PMID: 34234830 PMCID: PMC8218920 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6698100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2020] [Revised: 12/20/2020] [Accepted: 05/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The current review aims to systematically assess the osteogenic capacity of gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) in preclinical studies. A comprehensive electronic search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, as well as a manual search of relevant references, was performed in June 2020 without date or language restrictions. Eligibility criteria were the following: studies that compared mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from the gingiva with other MSC sources (in vitro or in vivo) or cell-free scaffold (in vivo) and studies that reported at least one of the following outcomes: osteogenic potential and new bone formation for in vitro and in vivo, respectively. Moreover, the assessment of included studies was conducted using appropriate guidelines. From 646 initial retrieved studies, 35 full-text articles were subjected to further screening and 26 studies were selected (20 in vitro studies and 6 in vivo studies). GMSCs showed great proliferation capacity and expressed recognized mesenchymal stem cell markers, particularly CD90. In vitro, MSC sources including GMSCs were capable of undergoing osteogenic differentiation with less ability in GMSCs, while most in vivo studies confirmed the capacity of GMSCs to regenerate bony defects. Concerning the assessment of methodological quality, in vitro studies met the relevant guideline except in five areas: the sample size calculation, randomization, allocation concealment, implementation, and blinding, and in vivo publications had probably low risk of bias in most domains except in three areas: allocation concealment, attrition, and blinding items.

Semaphorin 3A promotes the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in inflammatory environments by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. J Mol Histol 2021; 52:1245-1255.

Abstract
After periodontal treatment, the local inflammatory environment surrounding periodontal tissues cannot be entirely eliminated. The means by which alveolar bone repair and regeneration are promoted in inflammatory environments have important clinical significance. As a powerful protein that promotes the differentiation of osteocytes, semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) shows potential for bone regeneration therapy. However, the effect of Sema3A on osteogenic differentiation in an inflammatory environment, as well as the underlying mechanism, have not yet been explored. We used lentivirus to transduce rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) to stably overexpress Sema3A. Lipopolysaccharide from Escherichia coli (E. coli LPS) was used to stimulate rBMSCs to establish an inflammatory environment. ALP staining, Alizarin red staining, ALP activity tests, quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR), and Western blotting were used to elucidate the effect of Sema3A on the osteogenesis of rBMSCs in inflammatory environments. XAV939 and LiCl were used to determine whether the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was involved in attenuating the inhibition of Sema3A-induced osteogenic differentiation by LPS. The qRT-PCR and Western blot results demonstrated that the lentiviral vector (LV-NC) and lentiviral-Sema3A (LV-Sema3A) were successfully transduced into rBMSCs. An inflammatory environment could be established by stimulating rBMSCs with 1 μg/ml E. coli LPS. After Sema3A overexpression, mineral deposition was exacerbated, and the BSP and Runx2 gene and protein expression levels were increased. Furthermore, E. coli LPS activated the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and decreased rBMSC osteogenesis, but these effects were attenuated by Sema3A. In conclusion, Sema3A could protect BMSCs from LPS-mediated inhibition of osteogenic differentiation in inflammatory environments by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic inflammatory joint condition caused by various inflammatory cytokines. The pro-inflammatory cytokines controlling OA include interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-6 and IL-18. The anti-inflammatory cytokines include IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), glycoprotein 130 (IL6ST), TNF-α-stimulated gene 6 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) serve an anti-inflammatory role in the treatment of OA by secreting various cytokines. Previous studies demonstrated that the anti-inflammatory ability of MSCs decreased rapidly in a traditional plate culture. Maintaining the anti-inflammatory properties of MSCs in vitro remains challenging. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a more stable and efficient method to culture MSCs in vitro. Chitosan is a deacetylated derivative of chitin and is the second most abundant natural polysaccharide worldwide. The present study demonstrated that that MSCs cultured on chitosan membranes (CM) spontaneously formed multicellular spheroids. Compared with the control group without CM, the formation of multicellular spheres in the CM enhanced the anti-inflammatory properties of MSCs. Expression levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory genes mRNA and their proteins in MSCs were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, western blot analysis and immunofluorescence assay. Protein and mRNA expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-18 were significantly decreased in CM-cultured MSCs compared with the control group (P<0.05). Furthermore, mRNA and protein expression levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines TGF-β1 in CM-cultured MSCs were significantly increased compared with the control group (P<0.01). These results indicated that the formation of multicellular spheroids by CM-cultured MSCs aided in maintaining anti-inflammatory effects.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of quercetin on promoting the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and improving osteoporosis in rats. Rats were randomly divided into the sham, OVX and quercetin+OVX groups. In the sham and OVX groups, rats were given carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMC-Na). In the quercetin+OVX group, rats were given quercetin (50 mg/kg) once a day. Eight weeks after rats were treated, femurs were subjected to micro-CT scans, and bone biomechanical properties were analysed by the three-point flexural test. In addition, BMSCs were isolated and characterised by MTT, RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. In vivo, quercetin increased bone mineral density (BMD) and improved bone biomechanical properties in postmenopausal osteoporosis rat models. In vitro, TNF-α led to the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and the degradation of β-catenin, which were significantly inhibited by quercetin. Furthermore, quercetin promoted BMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. In conclusion, quercetin improved in vitro models of osteoporosis and protected against TNF-α-induced impairments in BMSC osteogenesis.

Abstract
Objective To review the application of urine derived stem cells (USCs) in regeneration of musculoskeletal system. Methods The original literature about USCs in the regeneration of musculoskeletal system was extensively reviewed and analyzed. Results The source of USCs is noninvasive and extensive. USCs express MSCs surface markers with stable proliferative and multi-directional differentiation capabilities, and are widely used in bone, skin, nerve, and other skeletal and muscle system regeneration fields and show a certain repair capacity. Conclusion USCs from non-invasive sources have a wide application prospect in the regeneration of musculoskeletal system, but the definite biological mechanism of its repair needs further study.
