Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is a growth factor that effectively promotes osteogenesis. Microsphere-based drug-delivery systems can facilitate an increase in the local concentration of BMP, thus promoting bone formation. In this study, calcium phosphate silicate (CPS) microspheres were used as drug-loading systems for BMP. Three groups─CPS, CPS + BMP, and CPS + BMP + soy lecithin (SL)─were set up, where SL was used to prolong the osteogenic effect of the microsphere system. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and femoral defects in rats were used to compare the osteogenic ability of the three groups. The results indicated that CPS microspheres were good carriers of BMP, facilitating a smoother release into the cells and tissues. SL loading improved the loading rate of BMP, which promoted the osteogenic effect of the microspheres with BMP. We propose CPS microspheres as potential drug-delivery systems that can be effectively used in the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Nasal deformities due to various causes affect the aesthetics and use of the nose, in which case rhinoplasty is necessary. However, the lack of cartilage for grafting has been a major problem and tissue engineering seems to be a promising solution. 3D bioprinting has become one of the most advanced tissue engineering methods. To construct ideal cartilage, bio-ink, seed cells, growth factors and other methods to promote chondrogenesis should be considered and weighed carefully. With continuous progress in the field, bio-ink choices are becoming increasingly abundant, from a single hydrogel to a combination of hydrogels with various characteristics, and more 3D bioprinting methods are also emerging. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have become one of the most popular seed cells in cartilage 3D bioprinting, owing to their abundance, excellent proliferative potential, minimal morbidity during harvest and lack of ethical considerations limitations. In addition, the co-culture of ADSCs and chondrocytes is commonly used to achieve better chondrogenesis. To promote chondrogenic differentiation of ADSCs and construct ideal highly bionic tissue-engineered cartilage, researchers have used a variety of methods, including adding appropriate growth factors, applying biomechanical stimuli and reducing oxygen tension. According to the process and sequence of cartilage 3D bioprinting, this review summarizes and discusses the selection of hydrogel and seed cells (centered on ADSCs), the design of printing, and methods for inducing the chondrogenesis of ADSCs.

Abstract
Diseases associated with articular cartilage disintegration or loss are still therapeutically challenging. The traditional treatment approaches only alleviate the symptoms while potentially causing serious side effects. The limited self-renewal potential of articular cartilage provides opportunities for advanced therapies involving mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are characterized by a remarkable regenerative capacity. The chondrogenic potential of MSCs is known to be regulated by the local environment, including soluble factors and the less discussed extracellular matrix (ECM) components. This review summarizes the process of chondrogenesis, and also the biological properties of the ECM mediated by mechanotransduction as well as canonical and non-canonical signaling. Our focus is also on the influence of the ECM's physical parameters, molecular composition, and chondrogenic factor affinity on the adhesion, survival, and chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs. These basic biological insights are crucial for a more precise fabrication of ECM-mimicking hydrogels to improve cartilage tissue reconstruction. Lastly, we provide an overview of hydrogel classification and characterization. We also include the results from preclinical models combining MSCs with hydrogels for the treatment of cartilage defects, to support clinical application of this construct. Overall, it is believed that the proper combination of MSCs, hydrogels, and chondrogenic factors can lead to complex cartilage regeneration.

Mol Biol Rep 2021; 48:6375-6385.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The poor survival rate and undesirable homing of transplanted stem cells are the major challenges in stem cell therapy. Addressing the challenge would improve the therapeutic efficacy of these cells. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is an anti-inflammatory drug that exerts its effects through the activation of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway. Therefore, its cytoprotective effects on human adipose-derived MSCs (hASCs) against various oxidative stresses have been investigated in this study. METHODS AND RESULTS hASCs were cultured with different concentrations of DMF to evaluate the cytotoxicity of DMF on hASCs using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Besides, the migration ability of the cells after DMF treatment was evaluated using the Transwell method. Furthermore, the expression of HO-1 and NQO-1 was determined using RT-PCR. The cytoprotective effects of DMF on hASCs against the oxidative stress caused by H2O2 and Ultra Violet (UV) were evaluated by assessing cell proliferation and apoptosis. Our results demonstrated that under oxidative stress conditions induced by H2O2 and UV, DMF increased the survival rate and proliferation of the cells and prevented apoptosis. Moreover, the expression of HO-1 and NQO-1 was upregulated in hASCs pretreated with DMF which confirms the activation of the Nrf2 pathway. However, DMF significantly decreased migration in hADSCs (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that DMF enhances the proliferation capability and viability of hASCs and prevents their apoptosis in harsh stressful microenvironments. However, the applicability of DMF as a cytoprotective factor for the augmentation of hASCs requires in-depth preclinical and clinical studies.

Abstract
Chondrocyte hypertrophy is one of the key indicators in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). However, compared with other OA indications, such as cartilage collapse, sclerosis, inflammation, and protease activation, the mechanisms by which chondrocyte hypertrophy contributes to OA remain elusive. As the pathological processes in the OA cartilage microenvironment, such as the alterations in the extracellular matrix, are initiated and dictated by the physiological state of the chondrocytes, in-depth knowledge of chondrocyte hypertrophy is necessary to enhance our understanding of the disease pathology and develop therapeutic agents. Chondrocyte hypertrophy is a factor that induces OA progression; it is also a crucial factor in the endochondral ossification. This review elaborates on this dual functionality of chondrocyte hypertrophy in OA progression and endochondral ossification through a description of the characteristics of various genes and signaling, their mechanism, and their distinguishable physiological effects. Chondrocyte hypertrophy in OA progression leads to a decrease in chondrogenic genes and destruction of cartilage tissue. However, in endochondral ossification, it represents an intermediate stage at the process of differentiation of chondrocytes into osteogenic cells. In addition, this review describes the current therapeutic strategies and their mechanisms, involving genes, proteins, cytokines, small molecules, three-dimensional environments, or exosomes, against the OA induced by chondrocyte hypertrophy. Finally, this review proposes that the contrasting roles of chondrocyte hypertrophy are essential for both OA progression and endochondral ossification, and that this cellular process may be targeted to develop OA therapeutics.

Abstract
Inconsistent therapeutic efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in regenerative medicine has been documented in many clinical trials. Precise prediction on the therapeutic outcome of a MSC therapy based on the patient's conditions would provide valuable references for clinicians to decide the treatment strategies. In this article, we performed a meta-analysis on MSC therapies for cartilage repair using machine learning. A small database was generated from published in vivo and clinical studies. The unique features of our neural network model in handling missing data and calculating prediction uncertainty enabled precise prediction of post-treatment cartilage repair scores with coefficient of determination of 0.637 ± 0.005. From this model, we identified defect area percentage, defect depth percentage, implantation cell number, body weight, tissue source, and the type of cartilage damage as critical properties that significant impact cartilage repair. A dosage of 17 - 25 million MSCs was found to achieve optimal cartilage repair. Further, critical thresholds at 6% and 64% of cartilage damage in area, and 22% and 56% in depth were predicted to significantly compromise on the efficacy of MSC therapy. This study, for the first time, demonstrated machine learning of patient-specific cartilage repair post MSC therapy. This approach can be applied to identify and investigate more critical properties involved in MSC-induced cartilage repair, and adapted for other clinical indications.

Abstract
Severe uterine damage and infection lead to intrauterine adhesions, which result in hypomenorrhea, amenorrhea and infertility. Cell sheet engineering has shown great promise in clinical applications. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are emerging as an alternative source of stem cells for cell-based therapies. In the present study, we investigated the feasibility of applying ADSCs as seed cells to form scaffold-free cell sheet. Data showed that ADSC sheets expressed higher levels of FGF, Col I, TGFβ, and VEGF than ADSCs in suspension, while increased expression of this gene set was associated with stemness, including Nanog, Oct4, and Sox2. We then investigated the therapeutic effects of 3D ADSCs sheet on regeneration in a rat model. We found that ADSCs were mainly detected in the basal layer of the regenerating endometrium in the cell sheet group at 21 days after transplantation. Additionally, some ADSCs differentiated into stromal-like cells. Moreover, ADSC sheets transplanted into partially excised uteri promoted regeneration of the endometrium cells, muscle cells and stimulated angiogenesis, and also resulted in better pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, ADSC sheet therapy shows considerable promise as a new treatment for severe uterine damage.

Synergistic effects of recombinant Lentiviral-mediated BMP2 and TGF-beta3 on the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. Cytokine 2019; 120:1-8. [PMID: 30991228 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2019.03.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2018] [Revised: 03/26/2019] [Accepted: 03/30/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are considered good candidates for seed cells in bone engineering. The study aim to investigate the synergistic effects of human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (hBMP2) and transforming growth factor beta3 (hTGF-beta3) modified BMSCs on inducing osteogenic differentiation in vitro. METHODS Lentivirus (LV) carrying hBMP2 and/or hTGF-beta3 genes were constructed and used to transduce rat BMSCs. The expression of osteogenic molecules was detected by qRT-PCR and western blotting. RESULTS Targeted genes were PCR-amplified and confirmed by DNA sequencing and BLAST analysis. BMSCs infected by vectors effectively resulted in the overexpressions of hBMP2 and hTGF-beta3 and higher levels of hBMP2 and hTGF-beta3 in the culture supernatant. The co-transduction of hBMP2 and hTGF-beta3 induced BMSCs osteogenic differentiation more effectively than the transduction of hBMP2 or hTGF-beta3 individually. The expression levels of osteopontin (OPN), osteocalcin (OCN), and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in LV-hBMP2 + LV-hTGF-beta3 group (BMSCs transfected by vectors respectively carrying hBMP-2 gene and hTGF-beta3 gene) and LV-hBMP2-hTGF-beta3 group (BMSCs transfected by vector carrying hBMP2 and hTGF-beta3 fusion gene) were significantly higher than in LV-BMP2 (BMSCs transfected by vector carrying hBMP2 gene) and LV-TGF-beta3 (BMSCs transfected by vector carrying hTGF-beta3 gene) groups (P < 0.05). The hBMP2 and/or hTGF-beta3 overexpression upregulated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. CONCLUSION The present study showed that hBMP2 and/or hTGF-beta3 genes can be successfully overexpressed in BMSCs. Our study proved that the two cytokines (hBMP2 and hTGF-beta3) could induce bone differentiation synergistically, which foresees the use of the combination of these two cytokines as a therapeutic strategy in the future.

DMPE-PEG scaffold binding with TGF-β1 receptor enhances cardiomyogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells. Stem Cell Res Ther 2018; 9:358. [PMID: 30594240 PMCID: PMC6310987 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-018-1090-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2018] [Revised: 11/15/2018] [Accepted: 11/23/2018] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Heart failure has become a global health problem with increasing incidences worldwide. Traditional pharmacological treatments can delay but cannot reverse the underlying disease processes. The clinical application of myocardial tissue engineering represents a promising strategy because it features cell-based replacement therapies that replace partially or fully damaged cardiac tissues with in vitro-generated tissue equivalents. However, the effectiveness of this therapy is limited by poor viability and differentiation of the grafted cells. This limitation could be overcome by rapidly increasing the numbers of functional cardiomyocytes. In this study, we aimed to obtain functional myocardial tissue engineering seed cells with high proliferation and differentiation rates by combining 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethan-olamine-polyethylene glycol (DMPE-PEG) and recombinant transforming growth factor-β1 receptor I (rTGF-β1 RI), followed by binding to human adipose-derived stromal cells (hADSCs). Methods To induce higher expression level of TGF-β1 RI, DMPE-PEG was inoculated with rTGF-β1 RI to modify the surface of hADSCs. The differentiation ability and morphological characteristics of the modified hADSCs were examined in vitro and in vivo. Results The caridiomyocartic differentiation ability of TGF-β1 RI-modified hADSCs was significantly enhanced, as indicated by elevated expression levels of the cardiac markers cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and α-smooth muscle actin (SMA) via increased phosphorylation of the Smad signaling pathway-related proteins. Conclusion Our findings provide new insights into stem cell transplantation therapy in myocardial tissue engineering.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) possess good proliferative and differentiative abilities, making then a promising candidate for the treatment of cartilage defects. However, local ischemia often causes apoptosis in ADSCs. Transforming growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3) is often used as a chondrogenic differentiation cytokine whose function in apoptosis is unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of TGF-β3 in ischemia-induced ADSC apoptosis. In the present study, the phenotypes and multipotent differentiation properties of human ADSCs at passage 3 were analyzed using flow cytometry and cytochemical staining. ADSCs were cultured in a serum- and glucose-free medium under hypoxic conditions with or without exogenous TGF-β3 treatment. The apoptosis rate was measured using a TUNEL array and Annexin V/propidium iodide staining. The expression of apoptosis-associated proteins was measured using western blotting. The results revealed ADSCs cultured in normal condition have multi-lineage differentiation potential and high levels of cluster of differentiation (CD)29, CD44 and CD105 expression. Furthermore, ADSCs weakly express CD14, CD34 and CD45, with strong clone formation and migration abilities. Serum deprivation under hypoxic conditions resulted in mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in ADSCs, which was attenuated by exogenous TGF-β3 treatment via upregulation of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP). The results of the present study indicate that TGF-β3 is able to protect ADSCs from ischemia-induced apoptosis via PARP-associated DNA damage repair.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES KDM6A has been demonstrated critical in the regulation of cell fates. However, whether KDM6A is involved in cartilage formation remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of KDM6A in chondrogenic differentiation of PDLSCs, as well as the underlying epigenetic mechanisms. METHODS KDM6A shRNA was transfected into PDLSCs by lentivirus. The chondrogenic differentiation potential of PDLSCs was assessed by Alcian blue staining. Immunofluorescence was performed to demonstrate H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 levels during chondrogenesis. SOX9, Col2a1, ACAN and miRNAs (miR-29a, miR-204, miR-211) were detected by real-time RT-PCR. Western blot was performed to evaluate SOX9, H3K27me3 and H3K4me3. RESULTS The production of proteoglycans in PDLSCs was decreased after knockdown of KDM6A. Depletion of KDM6A inhibited the expression of SOX9, Col2a1, ACAN and resulted in increased H3K27me3 and decreased H3K4me3 levels. EZH2 inhibitor rescued the chondrogenic potential of PDLSCs after knockdown of KDM6A by regulating H3K27me3. Additionally, miR-29a, miR-204 and miR-211 were also involved in the process of PDLSCs chondrogenesis. CONCLUSIONS KDM6A is required in chondrogenic differentiation of PDLSCs by demethylation of H3K27me3, and EZH2 inhibitor could rescue chondrogenesis of PDLSCs after knockdown of KDM6A. It could be inferred that upregulation of KDM6A or application of EZH2 inhibitor might improve mesenchymal stem cell mediated cartilage regeneration in inflammatory tissue destruction such as osteoarthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of articular cartilage defects presents many clinical challenges due to its avascular, aneural and alymphatic nature. Bone marrow stimulation techniques, such as microfracture, are the most frequently used method in clinical practice however the resulting mixed fibrocartilage tissue which is inferior to native hyaline cartilage. Other methods have shown promise but are far from perfect. There is an unmet need and growing interest in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering to improve the outcome for patients requiring cartilage repair. Many published reviews on cartilage repair only list human clinical trials, underestimating the wealth of basic sciences and animal studies that are precursors to future research. We therefore set out to perform a systematic review of the literature to assess the translation of stem cell therapy to explore what research had been carried out at each of the stages of translation from bench-top (in vitro), animal (pre-clinical) and human studies (clinical) and assemble an evidence-based cascade for the responsible introduction of stem cell therapy for cartilage defects. This review was conducted in accordance to PRISMA guidelines using CINHAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus and Web of Knowledge databases from 1st January 1900 to 30th June 2015. In total, there were 2880 studies identified of which 252 studies were included for analysis (100 articles for in vitro studies, 111 studies for animal studies; and 31 studies for human studies). There was a huge variance in cell source in pre-clinical studies both of terms of animal used, location of harvest (fat, marrow, blood or synovium) and allogeneicity. The use of scaffolds, growth factors, number of cell passages and number of cells used was hugely heterogeneous. SHORT CONCLUSIONS This review offers a comprehensive assessment of the evidence behind the translation of basic science to the clinical practice of cartilage repair. It has revealed a lack of connectivity between the in vitro, pre-clinical and human data and a patchwork quilt of synergistic evidence. Drivers for progress in this space are largely driven by patient demand, surgeon inquisition and a regulatory framework that is learning at the same pace as new developments take place.

Abstract
Perivascular stem cells (PSCs) are the natural ancestors of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and are the stem cells responsible for homeostasis and repair in vivo. Prospectively identified and isolated PSCs have demonstrated increased plasticity and osteogenic potential. Cells from the infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) have demonstrated increased chondrogenic potential compared with those from subcutaneous fat. This research assessed the chondrogenic potential of IFP PSCs compared with MSCs from the IFP and bone marrow. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated the location of perivascular markers (CD146, CD34, neural/glial antigen 2 [NG2], platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β [PDGFRβ], and α-smooth muscle actin [α-SMA]) in relation to endothelial markers (CD31, CD144, von Willebrand factor [vWF]). Pericytes and adventitial cells were isolated from the stromal vascular fraction (3.8% and 21.2%, respectively) using flow cytometry with a viability of 88%. The mean numbers of pericytes and adventitial cells isolated were 4.6 ± 2.2 × 104 and 16.2 ± 3.2 × 104 , respectively, equating to 7.9 ± 4.4 × 103 and 20.8 ± 4.3 × 103 cells per gram of harvested tissue. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting demonstrated that cultured PSCs were CD44+CD90+CD105+; polymerase chain reaction and immunocytochemistry demonstrated that pericytes retained their CD146+ phenotype and expressed the pericyte markers PDGFRβ and NG2. Differentiation was confirmed using histochemical stains and genetic expression. Using a pellet model, the IFP PSCs and the MSCs generated significantly more extracellular matrix than bone marrow MSCs (p < .001 and p = .011, respectively). The IFP PSCs generated significantly more extracellular matrix than IFP MSCs (p = .002). Micromass culture demonstrated that differentiated PSCs were upregulated compared with MSCs for COL2A1, ACAN, and SOX9 expression by factors of 4.8 ± 1.3, 4.3 ± 0.9, and 7.0 ± 1.7, respectively. The IFP was a significantly better source of chondrogenic stem cells compared with bone marrow. PSCs generated significantly more extracellular matrix than culture-derived MSCs.

Abstract
Repair of cartilage injuries represents a musculoskeletal medicine criticism because of the poor ability to self-renewal of adult cartilage. Therefore, research focuses on developing new regenerative strategies combining chondrocytes or stem cells, scaffolds and growth factors. Because of the low proliferation capability of explanted chondrocytes, new chondrogenesis models, employing human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), have been investigated. ASCs are readily accessible with no morbidity and display the capability to differentiate into several cell lineages, including the spontaneous chondrogenic differentiation when entrapped in collagen gel scaffolds. Recent studies also defined some biomolecular mechanisms involved in ASC chondrogenesis in vitro, and their regenerative properties in bioengineered scaffolds and in the presence of growth factors. However, further investigations are required to validate these exciting preclinical results for the application of bioenginereed ASCs in the clinical practice.

Abstract
Due to a blood supply shortage, articular cartilage has a limited capacity for self-healing once damaged. Articular chondrocytes, cartilage progenitor cells, embryonic stem cells, and mesenchymal stem cells are candidate cells for cartilage regeneration. Significant current attention is paid to improving chondrogenic differentiation capacity; unfortunately, the potential chondrogenic hypertrophy of differentiated cells is largely overlooked. Consequently, the engineered tissue is actually a transient cartilage rather than a permanent one. The development of hypertrophic cartilage ends with the onset of endochondral bone formation which has inferior mechanical properties. In this review, current strategies for inhibition of chondrogenic hypertrophy are comprehensively summarized; the impact of cell source options is discussed; and potential mechanisms underlying these strategies are also categorized. This paper aims to provide guidelines for the prevention of hypertrophy in the regeneration of cartilage tissue. This knowledge may also facilitate the retardation of osteophytes in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
