Abstract
Wound healing (WH) is a multi-component and highly orchestrated process, in which fibroblasts play a pivotal role. Wound healing is commonly attenuated during aging and the course of cellular senescence (CS). A growing body of evidence demonstrates that mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) can mitigate the aging and CS phenotype. In this study, we evaluated the effects of EVs derived from naïve MSCs (nMSCs) or anti-inflammatory polarized MSCs (pMSCs) on the rate of in vitro wound healing in primary cultures of human pulmonary fibroblasts (HPF) at various stages of cellular senescence. The major finding of this study is that MSC-derived EVs increase the rate of in vitro WH in senescent but not young HPF cultures. Yet, the pMSC-derived EVs had a stronger impact on WH acceleration in senescent cultures as compared to the nMSC-derived EVs, and this impact was apparently attributed to cell migration.
期刊介绍:
The journal Biogerontology offers a platform for research which aims primarily at achieving healthy old age accompanied by improved longevity. The focus is on efforts to understand, prevent, cure or minimize age-related impairments.
Biogerontology provides a peer-reviewed forum for publishing original research data, new ideas and discussions on modulating the aging process by physical, chemical and biological means, including transgenic and knockout organisms; cell culture systems to develop new approaches and health care products for maintaining or recovering the lost biochemical functions; immunology, autoimmunity and infection in aging; vertebrates, invertebrates, micro-organisms and plants for experimental studies on genetic determinants of aging and longevity; biodemography and theoretical models linking aging and survival kinetics.
