Abstract
Bone defects from accidents, congenital conditions, and age-related diseases significantly impact quality of life. Recent advancements in bone tissue engineering (TE) involve biomaterial scaffolds, patient-derived cells, and bioactive agents, enabling functional bone regeneration. Stem cells, obtained from numerous sources including umbilical cord blood, adipose tissue, bone marrow, and dental pulp, hold immense potential in bone TE. Induced pluripotent stem cells and genetically modified stem cells can also be used. Proper manipulation of physical, chemical, and biological stimulation is crucial for their proliferation, maintenance, and differentiation. Stem cells contribute to osteogenesis, osteoinduction, angiogenesis, and mineralization, essential for bone regeneration. This review provides an overview of the latest developments in stem cell-based TE for repairing and regenerating defective bones.

Abstract
There is a significant mortality rate associated with cardiovascular disease despite advances in treatment. long Non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in many biological processes and their dysregulation is associated with a wide range of diseases in which their downstream pathways are disrupted. A lncRNA X-inactive specific transcript (XIST) is well known as a factor that regulates the physiological process of chromosome dosage compensation for females. According to recent studies, lncRNA XIST is involved in a variety of cellular processes, including apoptosis, proliferation, invasion, metastasis, oxidative stress and inflammation, through molecular networks with microRNAs and their downstream targets in neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. Because these cellular processes play a role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, we aim to investigate the role that lncRNA XIST plays in this process. Additionally, we wish to determine whether it is a prognostic factor or a potential therapeutic target in these diseases.

Abstract
The disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is largely influenced by amyloid beta (Aβ). In this study, we developed a high-throughput microfluidic BBB model devoid of a physical membrane, featuring endothelial cells interacting with an extracellular matrix (ECM). This paper focuses on the impact of varying concentrations of Aβ1-42 oligomers on BBB dysfunction by treating them in the luminal. Our findings reveal a pronounced accumulation of Aβ1-42 oligomers at the BBB, resulting in the disruption of tight junctions and subsequent leakage evidenced by a barrier integrity assay. Additionally, cytotoxicity assessments indicate a concentration-dependent increase in cell death in response to Aβ1-42 oligomers (LC50 ~ 1 μM). This study underscores the utility of our membrane-free vascular chip in elucidating the dysfunction induced by Aβ with respect to the BBB.

Abstract
Recent advances in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering have enabled the biofabrication of three-dimensional (3D) tissue analogues with the potential for use in transplants and disease modeling. However, the practical use of these biomimetic tissues has been hindered by the challenge posed by reconstructing anatomical-scale micro-vasculature tissues. In this study, we suggest that co-cultured spheroids within hydrogels hold promise for regenerating highly vascularized and innervated tissues, bothin vitroandin vivo. Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) and human umbilical vein cells (HUVECs) were prepared as spheroids, which were encapsulated in gelatin methacryloyl hydrogels to fabricate a 3D pre-vascularized tissue. The vasculogenic responses, extracellular matrix production, and remodeling depending on parameters like co-culture ratio, hydrogel strength, and pre-vascularization time forin vivointegration with native vessels were then delicately characterized. The co-cultured spheroids with 3:1 ratio (hADSCs/HUVECs) within the hydrogel and with a pliable storage modulus showed the greatest vasculogenic potential, and ultimately formedin vitroarteriole-scale vasculature with a longitudinal lumen structure and a complex vascular network after long-term culturing. Importantly, the pre-vascularized tissue also showed anastomotic vascular integration with host blood vessels after transplantation, and successful vascularization that was positive for both CD31 and alpha-smooth muscle actin covering 18.6 ± 3.6μm2of the luminal area. The described co-cultured spheroids-laden hydrogel can therefore serve as effective platform for engineering 3D vascularized complex tissues.

Abstract
As the only reliable treatment option for end-stage liver diseases, conventional liver transplantation confronts major supply limitations. Accordingly, the decellularization of discarded livers to produce bioscaffolds that support recellularization with progenitor/stem cells has emerged as a promising translational medicine approach. The success of this approach will substantially be determined by the extent of extracellular matrix (ECM) preservation during the decellularization process. Here, we assumed that the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition could reduce the ECM damage during the whole liver decellularization of an animal model using a perfusion-based system. We demonstrated that the application of doxycycline as an MMP inhibitor led to significantly higher preservation of collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and hepatic growth factor (HGF) contents, as well as mechanical and structural features, including tensile strength, fiber integrity, and porosity. Notably, produced bioscaffolds were biocompatible and efficiently supported cell viability and proliferation in vitro. We also indicated that produced bioscaffolds efficiently supported HepG2 cell function upon seeding onto liver ECM discs using albumin and urea assay. Additionally, MMP inhibitor pretreated decellularized livers were more durable in contact with collagenase digestion compared to control bioscaffolds in vitro. Using zymography, we confirmed the underlying mechanism that results in these promising effects is through the inhibition of MMP2 and MMP9. Overall, we demonstrated a novel method based on MMP inhibition to ameliorate the ECM structure and composition preservation during liver decellularization as a critical step in fabricating transplantable bioengineered livers.

Abstract
Bone is one of the most vascular network-rich tissues in the body and the vascular system is essential for the development, homeostasis, and regeneration of bone. When segmental irreversible damage occurs to the bone, restoring its vascular system by means other than autogenous bone grafts with vascular pedicles is a therapeutic challenge. By pre-generating the vascular network of the scaffold in vivo or in vitro, the pre-vascularization technique enables an abundant blood supply in the scaffold after implantation. However, pre-vascularization techniques are time-consuming, and in vivo pre-vascularization techniques can be damaging to the body. Critical bone deficiencies may be filled quickly with immediate implantation of a supporting bone tissue engineered scaffold. However, bone tissue engineered scaffolds generally lack vascularization, which requires modification of the scaffold to aid in enhancing internal vascularization. In this review, we summarize the relationship between the vascular system and osteogenesis and use it as a basis to further discuss surgical and cytotechnology-based pre-vascularization strategies and to describe the preparation of vascularized bone tissue engineered scaffolds that can be implanted immediately. We anticipate that this study will serve as inspiration for future vascularized bone tissue engineered scaffold construction and will aid in the achievement of clinical vascularized bone.

Abstract
The critical challenges in repairing oral soft and hard tissue defects are infection control and the recovery of functions. Compared to conventional tissue regeneration methods, nano-bioactive materials have become the optimal materials with excellent physicochemical properties and biocompatibility. Dental-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs) are a particular type of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) with great potential in tissue regeneration and differentiation. This paper presents a review of the application of various nano-bioactive materials for the induction of differentiation of DMSCs in oral and maxillofacial restorations in recent years, outlining the characteristics of DMSCs, detailing the biological regulatory effects of various nano-materials on stem cells and summarizing the material-induced differentiation of DMSCs into multiple types of tissue-induced regeneration strategies. Nanomaterials are different and complementary to each other. These studies are helpful for the development of new nanoscientific research technology and the clinical transformation of tissue reconstruction technology and provide a theoretical basis for the application of nanomaterial-modified dental implants. We extensively searched for papers related to tissue engineering bioactive constructs based on MSCs and nanomaterials in the databases of PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar, using keywords such as "mesenchymal stem cells", "nanotechnology", "biomaterials", "dentistry" and "tissue regeneration". From 2013 to 2023, we selected approximately 150 articles that align with our philosophy.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common consequence of diabetes mellitus and a primary cause of visual impairment in middle-aged and elderly individuals. DR is susceptible to cellular degradation facilitated by autophagy. In this study, we have employed a multi-layer relatedness (MLR) approach to uncover novel autophagy-related proteins involved in DR. The objective of MLR is to determine the relatedness of autophagic and DR proteins by incorporating both expression and prior-knowledge-based similarities. We constructed a prior knowledge-based network and identified the topologically significant novel disease-related candidate autophagic proteins (CAPs). Then, we evaluated their significance in a gene co-expression and a differentially-expressed gene (DEG) network. Finally, we investigated the proximity of CAPs to the known disease-related proteins. Leveraging this methodology, we identified three crucial autophagy-related proteins, TP53, HSAP90AA1, and PIK3R1, which can influence the DR interactome in various layers of heterogeneity of clinical manifestations. They are strongly related to multiple detrimental characteristics of DR, such as pericyte loss, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and endothelial cell migration, and hence may be used to prevent or delay the progression and development of DR. We evaluated one of the identified targets, TP53, in a cell-based model and found that its inhibition resulted in reduced angiogenesis in high glucose condition required to control DR.

Abstract
Copper (Cu)-loaded electrospun membranes were tailored for guided bone regeneration (GBR), targeting the stimulation of innate cells active in bone growth and the prevention of bacterial infections. Functional GBR membranes were produced via an electrospinning set-up using a silk-based solution associated with polyethylene oxide (Silk/PEO - control). Experimental groups were loaded with copper oxide using varying weight percentages (0.05 % to 1 % of CuO). The morphological, structural, chemical, and mechanical properties of membranes were evaluated. Direct and indirect in vitro cytocompatibility experiments were performed with primary human bone mesenchymal stem cells and primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The antibacterial potential of membranes was tested with Staphylococcus aureus and Fusobacterium nucleatum biofilm. CuO was successfully incorporated into membranes as clusters without compromising their mechanical properties for clinical applicability. Increased Cu concentrations generated membranes with thinner nanofibers, greater pore areas, and stronger antimicrobial effect (p < 0.01). Cu2+ ion was released from the nanofiber membranes during 1 week, showing higher release in acidic conditions. CuO 0.1 % and CuO 0.05 % membranes were able to support and stimulate cell adhesion and proliferation (p < 0.05), and favor angiogenic responses of vascular cells. In addition, detailed quantitative and qualitative analysis determined that amount of the attached biofilm was reduced on the tailored functional Cu2+-loaded GBR membrane. Importantly, these qualities represent a valuable strategy to improve the bone regeneration process and diminish the risk of bacterial infections.

Abstract
Bone regeneration of critical-sized bone defects, bone fractures or joint replacements remains a significant unmet clinical challenge. Although there has been rapid advancement in both the fields of bone tissue engineering and additive manufacturing (AM), functional bone implants with rapid vascularization capacity to ensure osseointegration and long-term biological fixation in large bone defects remains limited in clinics. In this study, we developed an in vitro vascularized bone implant by combining cell-laden hydrogels with direct metal printed (DMP) porous titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V). 5wt% allylated gelatin (GelAGE), was utilized to co-encapsulate human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to investigate concurrent osteogenic and vasculogenic performance. DMP macro-porous Ti-6Al-4V scaffolds were subsequently infused/enriched with cell-laden GelAGE to examine the feasibility to deliver cells and engineer vascular-like networks in the hybrid implant. Furthermore, as a proof of concept, a full-scale porous Ti-6Al-4V acetabular cup was impregnated with cell-laden hydrogel to validate the clinical potential of this strategy. The vasculogenic potential was evaluated by examining micro-capillary formation coupled with capillary network maturation and stabilization. Osteogenic differentiation was assessed via ALP activity as well as osteocalcin and osteopontin expression. Our results suggested that GelAGE supported HUVECs spreading and vascular-like network formation, along with osteogenesis of hMSCs. Titanium hybrid constructs with cell-laden hydrogel demonstrated enhanced osteogenesis with similar vasculogenic capability compared to the cell-laden hydrogel alone constructs. The full-scale implant with cell-laden hydrogel coating similarly showed cell distribution and spreading, implying the potential for further clinical application. Our study presents the feasibility of integrating bio-functional hydrogels with porous titanium implants to fabricate a vascularized hybrid construct with both mechanical support and preferable biological functionality (osteogenesis/vasculogenesis), which paves the way for improved strategies to enhance bone regeneration in complex large bone defects achieving long-term bone-implant fixation.

Proteomic profiling of various human dental stem cells - a systematic review. World J Stem Cells 2020; 12:1214-1236. [PMID: 33178402 PMCID: PMC7596439 DOI: 10.4252/wjsc.v12.i10.1214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2020] [Revised: 08/06/2020] [Accepted: 09/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The proteomic signature or profile best describes the functional component of a cell during its routine metabolic and survival activities. Additional complexity in differentiation and maturation is observed in stem/progenitor cells. The role of functional proteins at the cellular level has long been attributed to anatomical niches, and stem cells do not deflect from this attribution. Human dental stem cells (hDSCs), on the whole, are a combination of mesenchymal and epithelial coordinates observed throughout craniofacial bones to pulp.
AIM To specify the proteomic profile and compare each type of hDSC with other mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) of various niches. Furthermore, we analyzed the characteristics of the microenvironment and preconditioning changes associated with the proteomic profile of hDSCs and their influence on committed lineage differentiation.
METHODS Literature searches were performed in PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, from January 1990 to December 2018. An extra inquiry of the grey literature was completed on Google Scholar, ProQuest, and OpenGrey. Relevant MeSH terms (PubMed) and keywords related to dental stem cells were used independently and in combination.
RESULTS The initial search resulted in 134 articles. Of the 134 full-texts assessed, 96 articles were excluded and 38 articles that met the eligibility criteria were reviewed. The overall assessment of hDSCs and other MSCs suggests that differences in the proteomic profile can be due to stem cellular complexity acquired from varied tissue sources during embryonic development. However, our comparison of the proteomic profile suffered inconsistencies due to the heterogeneity of various hDSCs. We believe that the existence of a heterogeneous population of stem cells at a given niche determines the modalities of regeneration or tissue repair. Added prominences to the differences present between various hDSCs have been reasoned out.
CONCLUSION Systematic review on proteomic studies of various hDSCs are promising as an eye-opener for revisiting the proteomic profile and in-depth analysis to elucidate more refined mechanisms of hDSC functionalities.

AFF4 regulates osteogenic differentiation of human dental follicle cells. Int J Oral Sci 2020; 12:20. [PMID: 32606293 PMCID: PMC7327054 DOI: 10.1038/s41368-020-0083-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2019] [Revised: 02/21/2020] [Accepted: 02/23/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
As a member of the AFF (AF4/FMR2) family, AFF4 is a transcription elongation factor that is a component of the super elongation complex. AFF4 serves as a scaffolding protein that connects transcription factors and promotes gene transcription through elongation and chromatin remodelling. Here, we investigated the effect of AFF4 on human dental follicle cells (DFCs) in osteogenic differentiation. In this study, we found that small interfering RNA-mediated depletion of AFF4 resulted in decreased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and impaired mineralization. In addition, the expression of osteogenic-related genes (DLX5, SP7, RUNX2 and BGLAP) was significantly downregulated. In contrast, lentivirus-mediated overexpression of AFF4 significantly enhanced the osteogenic potential of human DFCs. Mechanistically, we found that both the mRNA and protein levels of ALKBH1, a critical regulator of epigenetics, changed in accordance with AFF4 expression levels. Overexpression of ALKBH1 in AFF4-depleted DFCs partially rescued the impairment of osteogenic differentiation. Our data indicated that AFF4 promoted the osteogenic differentiation of DFCs by upregulating the transcription of ALKBH1.

Abstract
Bone is an active tissue where bone mineralization and resorption occur simultaneously. In the case of fracture, there are numerous factors required to facilitate bone healing including precursor cells and blood vessels. To evaluate the interaction between bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC)—the precursor cells able to differentiate into bone-forming cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC)—a cell source widely used for the study of blood vessels. We performed direct coculture of BMSC and HUVEC in normoxia and chemically induced hypoxia using Cobalt(II) chloride and Dimethyloxaloylglycine and in the condition where oxygen level was maintained at 1% as well. Cell proliferation was analyzed by crystal violet staining. Osteogenesis was examined by Alizarin Red and Collagen type I staining. Expression of angiogenic factor-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endothelial marker-von Willebrand factor (VWF) were demonstrated by immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The quantitative polymerase chain reaction was also used to evaluate gene expression. The results showed that coculture in normoxia could retain both osteogenic differentiation and endothelial markers while hypoxic condition limits cell proliferation and osteogenesis but favors the angiogenic function even after 1 of day treatment.

Abstract
The repair of bone defects caused by trauma, infection or tumor resection is a major clinical orthopedic challenge. The application of bone grafts in orthopedic procedures is associated with a problem of inadequate vascularization in the initial phase after implantation. Meanwhile, the survival of cells within the implanted graft and its integration with the host tissue is strongly dependent on nutrient and gaseous exchange, as well as waste product removal, which are effectuated by blood microcirculation. In the bone tissue, the vasculature also delivers the calcium and phosphate indispensable for the mineralization process. The critical role of vascularization for bone healing and function, led the researchers to the idea of generating a capillary-like network within the bone graft in vitro, which could allow increasing the cell survival and graft integration with a host tissue. New strategies for engineering pre-vascularized bone grafts, that apply the co-culture of endothelial and bone-forming cells, have recently gained interest. However, engineering of metabolically active graft, containing two types of cells requires deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms of interaction between these cells. The present review focuses on the best-characterized endothelial cells-human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)-attempting to estimate whether the co-culture approach, using these cells, could bring us closer to development and possible clinical application of prevascularized bone grafts.

Abstract
Dental follicle cells (DFCs) are a group of mesenchymal progenitor cells surrounding the tooth germ, responsible for cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone formation in tooth development. Cascades of signaling pathways and transcriptional factors in DFCs are involved in directing tooth eruption and tooth root morphogenesis. Substantial researches have been made to decipher multiple aspects of DFCs, including multilineage differentiation, senescence, and immunomodulatory ability. DFCs were proved to be multipotent progenitors with decent amplification, immunosuppressed and acquisition ability. They are able to differentiate into osteoblasts/cementoblasts, adipocytes, neuron-like cells, and so forth. The excellent properties of DFCs facilitated clinical application, as exemplified by bone tissue engineering, tooth root regeneration, and periodontium regeneration. Except for the oral and maxillofacial regeneration, DFCs were also expected to be applied in other tissues such as spinal cord defects (SCD), cardiomyocyte destruction. This article reviewed roles of DFCs in tooth development, their properties, and clinical application potentials, thus providing a novel guidance for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Aim: We investigated the role of induced endothelial cells (iECs) in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)/iECs co-culture and assessed their osteogenic ability on silk fibroin nanofiber scaffolds. Methods: The osteogenic differentiation was assessed by the ALP assay, calcium assay and gene expression studies. Results: The osteogenic differentiation of the iECs co-cultures was found to be higher than the MSCs group and proximal to endothelial cells (ECs) co-cultures. Furthermore, the usage of isogenic iECs for co-culture increased the osteogenic and endothelial gene expression. Conclusion: These findings suggest that iECs mimic endothelial cells when co-cultured with MSCs and that one MSCs source can be used to give rise to both MSCs and iECs. The isogenic MSCs/iECs co-culture provides a new option for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to compare the cytocompatibility and angiogenic potential of 2 antibiotics (clindamycin [CLIN] and minocycline [MINO]) at distinct concentrations on dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). METHODS DPSCs and HUVECs were exposed to cell culture media modified with CLIN or MINO at concentrations ranging from 30 μg/mL-1000 μg/mL. Cell toxicity and proliferation were investigated using the lactate dehydrogenase and tetrazolium reduction assays, respectively. A capillarylike tube formation in vitro assay was conducted to determine the angiogenic potential associated with each antibiotic. Additionally, selected morphometric angiogenesis parameters were determined using dedicated software (WimTube; Onimagin Technologies SCA, Córdoba, Spain). All statistical analyses were performed using 1-way analysis of variance and the Tukey post hoc test (α= .05). RESULTS The collected data showed that compared with the control (cell culture media, alpha-minimum essential medium Eagle) increasing the antibiotic concentration significantly decreased cell viability and proliferation of both DPSCs and HUVECs. In terms of angiogenic potential, when tested at 30 μg/mL and 50 μg/mL, CLIN significantly amplified tube formation when compared with MINO with angiogenesis parameters (ie, tube length and tube number) similar to the effect promoted by exogenous vascular endothelial growth factor (50 ng/mL). CONCLUSIONS CLIN was less cytotoxic when compared with MINO at higher concentrations. Of note, CLIN did not hinder the proangiogenic activity induced by vascular endothelial growth factor to the same extent as MINO, suggesting that the replacement of MINO by CLIN might translate into positive implications in the overall regenerative outcome.
