These brain-derived iSCs (B-iSCs) can differentiate into various lineages, including neurons. This study aimed to determine whether similar stem cells can be induced even after non-ischemic injuries, such as trauma to the spinal cord. We characterized these cells, mainly focusing on their stemness, multipotency, and neuronal differentiation activities. Spinal cord injury was produced using forceps in adult mice. On day 3 after spinal cord injury, samples were obtained from the injured areas. Spinal cord sections were subjected to histological analyses. Cells were isolated and assessed for proliferative activities, immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR, FACS, and microarray analysis. Although nerve cell morphology was disrupted within the injured spinal cord, our histological observations revealed the presence of cells expressing stem cells, such as nestin and Sox2 in these areas. In addition, cells extracted from injured areas exhibited high proliferative abilities. These cells also expressed markers of both neural stem cells (e.g., nestin, Sox2) and multipotent stem cells (e.g., Sox2, c-myc, Klf4). They differentiated into adipocytes, osteocytes and chondrocytes, as well as neuronal cells. Microarray analysis further identified similar properties between spinal cord (SC)-derived iSCs and B-iSCs. However, SC-iSCs revealed specific genes related to the regulation of stemness and neurogenesis. We identified similar features related to multipotency in SC-iSCs compared to B-iSCs, including neuronal differentiation potential. Although the differences between SC-iSCs and B-iSCs remain largely undetermined, the present study shows that iSCs can develop even after non-ischemic injuries such as trauma. This phenomenon can occur outside the brain within the CNS.","PeriodicalId":21934,"journal":{"name":"Stem cells and development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45062968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Platelet lysate (PL) is a plasma derived product rich in growth factors, that can be turned into a gel matrix following the addition of calcium chloride. Our objective was to characterize growth factor and cytokine release of equine PL gel (ePL gel) encapsulated with MSCs over time and to measure the viability and proliferation of ePL gel-encapsulated MSCs for up to 14 days. Release of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-10 (IL-10), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF-BB), as well as fibrinogen degradation, were measured from ePL gel with and without equine bone marrow derived MSCs and compared to MSCs in monolayer. MSC proliferation and viability within the gel were assessed up to 14 days. Compared to monolayer MSC cultures, significantly higher concentrations of IL-1β, IL-10, and TGF-β were measured from supernatants collected from ePL gel containing MSCs at various time points. Significantly lower concentrations of PDGF-BB were measured in the supernatant when MSCs were incorporated in ePL gel while VEGF tended to be increased compared to MSCs in monolayer. Incorporation in ePL gel for up to 14 days did not appear to affect viability and proliferation rates of MSCs as these were found to be similar to those measured in monolayer cell culture. ePL gel may have the potential to serve as bio-scaffold for MSC delivery since it appears to support the proliferation and viability of MSCs for up to 14 days.","PeriodicalId":21934,"journal":{"name":"Stem cells and development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45623926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying pituitary stem cell development remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that microRNA-7a (miR-7a) is enriched in the developing pituitary and is spatiotemporally expressed in the pituitary stem cells. Constitutive deletion of miR-7a2 in mice results in pituitary dysplasia emerging during birth, which is primarily manifested as malformed anterior lobes. Using immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry or in situ hybridization, we observe that the specification of hormone-expressing cells is not impeded post miR-7a2 deletion at birth, although the terminal differentiation of gonadotropes is inhibited. Further investigation of neonatal and adult pituitaries in miR-7a2 knockout mice reveals an expansion of the SOX2+ pituitary stem cell compartment. The inhibition of epithelial-mesenchymal like transition seems to be responsible for this phenotype, rather than abnormal proliferation or apoptosis. Furthermore, our data suggest that Gli3 and Ckap4 are potential targets of miR-7a in pituitary stem cells. In summary, our results identify miR-7a2 as a crucial factor involved in pituitary stem cell development.","PeriodicalId":21934,"journal":{"name":"Stem cells and development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45809607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, first observable adverse effects level (FOAEL) was recently reported and is used, in this study, as one criterion to detect a mutagenic stimulus in a live imager. Fluorescence ubiquitinated cell cycle indicator (FUCCI) embryonic stem cells (ESC) are green in the S-G2-M phase of the cell cycle and not green in G1-phase. Standard media change here is a mild stress that delays G1-phase and media change increases green 2.5- to 5-fold. Since stress is mild, media change rapidly increases green cell number, but higher stresses of environmental toxicants and positive control hyperosmotic stress suppress increased green after media change. Perfluoro-octanoic acid (PFOA) and diethyl phthalate (DEP) previously suppressed progression of nongreen to green cell cycle progression. Here, bisphenol A (BPA), cortisol, and positive control hyperosmotic sorbitol also suppress green fluorescence, but benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) at high doses (10 μM) increases green fluorescence throughout the 74-h exposure. Since any stress can affect many cell cycle phases, messenger RNA (mRNA) markers are best interpreted in ratios as dose-dependent mutagens increase in G2/G1 and nonmutagens increase G1/G2. After 74-h exposure, RNAseq detects G1 and G2 markers and increasing BaP doses increase G2/G1 ratios but increasing hyperosmotic sorbitol and PFOA doses increase G1/G2 marker ratios. BaP causes rapid green increase in FOAEL at 2 h of stimulus, whereas retinoic acid caused significant green fluorescence increases only late in culture. Using a live imager to establish FOAEL and G2 delay with FUCCI ESC is a new method to allow commercial and basic developmental biologists to detect drugs and environmental stimuli that are mutagenic.

To date, the mechanobiology of chondrogenesis has not been fully elucidated. Hence, experimental activity is focused on recreating specific environmental conditions for stimulating chondrogenesis, and to look for a mechanistic interpretation of the mechanobiological response of cells in the cartilaginous tissues. There are a large number of studies on the topic that vary considerably in their experimental protocols used for providing environmental cues to cells for differentiation, making generalizable conclusions difficult to ascertain. The main objective of this contribution is to review the mechanobiological stimulation of stem cell chondrogenesis and methodological approaches utilized to date to promote chondrogenesis of stem cells in-vitro. In-vivo models will also be explored, but this area is currently limited. An overview of the experimental approaches used by different research groups may help the development of unified testing methods that could be used to overcome existing knowledge gaps, leading to an accelerated translation of experimental findings to clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":21934,"journal":{"name":"Stem cells and development","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42863543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The administration of adipose tissue-derived stromal cells' (ASC) secretome is a novel approach to augment vascularization. Yet, the secretome comprised soluble factors that require a sustained release vehicle to increase residence time. We hypothesized that administration of a hydrogel derived from decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) of porcine skin with bound trophic factors from ASCs, enhances skin flap viability and wound repair in a rat model. Porcine skin was decellularized and pepsin-digested to form a hydrogel at 37°C. Conditioned medium (CMe) of human ASC was collected, concentrated twentyfold and mixed with the hydrogel. Sixty Wistar rats were included. A dorsal skin flap (caudal based) of 3 x 10 cm was elevated for topical application of: DMEM medium (group I), a pre-hydrogel with or without ASC CMe (group II and III) or ASC CMe (group IV). After 7, 14 and 28 days, perfusion was measured and skin flaps were harvested for wound healing assessment and immunohistochemical analysis. Decellularized skin ECM hydrogel contained negligible amounts of DNA (11.6 ± 0.6 ng/mg), was noncytotoxic and well-tolerated by rats. Irrespective of ASC secretome, ECM hydrogel application resulted macroscopically and microscopically in similar dermal wound healing in terms of proliferation, immune response and matrix remodeling as the control group. However, ASC CMe alone increased vessel density after seven days. Concluding, porcine skin derived ECM hydrogels loaded with ASC secretome are non-cytotoxic but demand optimization to significantly augment wound healing of skin flaps.","PeriodicalId":21934,"journal":{"name":"Stem cells and development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46116160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conversely, disuse on Earth or during spaceflight, reduces normal mechanical loading of organisms, resulting in altered cell and tissue function. Although gravity mechanical loading in adult mammals is known to promote increased cell proliferation and differentiation, little is known about how distinct cell types respond to gravity mechanostimulation during early development. In this study we sought to understand, with single cell RNA-sequencing resolution, how a 60-min pulse of 50 g hypergravity (HG)/5 kPa hydrostatic pressure, influences transcriptomic regulation of developmental processes in the embryoid body (EB) model. Our study included both day-9 EBs and progenitor mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) with or without the HG pulse. Single cell t-distributed stochastic neighbor mapping shows limited transcriptome shifts in response to the HG pulse in either ESCs or EBs; this pulse however, induces greater positional shifts in EB mapping compared to ESCs, indicating the influence of mechanotransduction is more pronounced in later states of cell commitment within the developmental program. More specifically, HG resulted in upregulation of self-renewal and angiogenesis genes in ESCs, while in EBs, HG loading was associated with upregulation of Gene Ontology-pathways for multicellular development, mechanical signal transduction, and DNA damage repair. Cluster transcriptome analysis of the EBs show HG promotes maintenance of transitory cell phenotypes in early development; including EB cluster co-expression of markers for progenitor, post-implant epiblast, and primitive endoderm phenotypes with HG pulse but expression exclusivity in the non-pulsed clusters. Pseudotime analysis identified three branching cell types susceptible to HG induction of cell fate decisions. In totality, this study provides novel evidence that ESC maintenance and EB development can be regulated by gravity mechanostimulation and that stem cells committed to a differentiation program are more sensitive to gravity-induced changes to their transcriptome.","PeriodicalId":21934,"journal":{"name":"Stem cells and development","volume":"31 1","pages":"346 - 356"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47475057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regorafenib is a multikinase inhibitor that targets CAFs and suppresses tumor growth. Here, we investigated the effects of regorafenib on gastrointestinal CAFs and the underlying molecular mechanisms. First, we established two in vivo tumor models, the cancer cell line HCT116 with or without mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and treated them with regorafenib. We found that the application of regorafenib potently impaired tumor growth, an effect that was more pronounced in tumors with a high stromal ratio, thus demonstrating that regorafenib can inhibit CAFs proliferation and induce CAFs apoptosis in vivo. Moreover, we showed that regorafenib affected macrophage infiltration by reducing the proportion of CAFs in tumors. Afterward, we induced MSCs into CAFs with exosomes to establish an in vitro model. Then, we used MTS and flow cytometry to detect the effects of regorafenib on the proliferation and apoptosis of CAFs, and Western blot to determine the expression level of apoptosis-related proteins. We found that regorafenib inhibited the proliferation of CAFs and induced the apoptosis of CAFs in vitro. Furthermore, Western blot results showed that regorafenib down-regulated the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and concurrently up-regulated the expression of Bcl-2-associated X (Bax), and regorafenib inhibited the phosphorylation pathway of AKT in CAFs. In conclusion, our results provide a model in which regorafenib induces CAFs apoptosis by inhibiting the phosphorylation of AKT, and regorafenib affects macrophage infiltration by reducing the proportion of CAFs in tumor tissues.","PeriodicalId":21934,"journal":{"name":"Stem cells and development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44243625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, whether those bioactive components should be obtained from the cytoplasm or supernatant is yet to be determined. Here, we examined the ingredients of the MSC cytoplasm extract (MSC-ex) and MSC supernatant (MSC-s) and evaluated their effect in a photoaging model. Although MSC-ex has a richer protein composition than MSC-s, the latter has a proteome associated with wound healing and blood vessel development. Over 85% of the proteins in MSC-s were also found in MSC-ex, including extracellular matrix protein and various growth factors. The results of realtime-PCR and western blot also demonstrate that both MSC-s and MSC-ex can upregulate collagen, TGF-β, and VEGF and downregulate IL-1β and matrix metalloproteinase-1(MMP-1), which were considered critical for anti-photoaging. This supports our observations in the hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and Masson staining assay that they have a comparable effect as MSCs in terms of enhancing dermal thickness, and stimulating collagen regeneration. Although MSC-s and MSC-ex showed a weaker immunosuppression effect than MSCs, moisture measurement showed that they repair damage more rapidly than MSCs. Furthermore, the histological results showed that MSC-s maintains a super effect on immunosuppression, epidermal repair and angiogenesis. That may be associated with the higher content of laminin, TGF-β and VEGF in MSC-s, as well as its super cytokine transcriptional regulation ability. Thus, both MSC-s and MSC-ex can safely and effectively promote the repair of skin light injury, similar to MSCs. Our findings can broaden the range of active factors available in cell-free treatment, determine the difference between MSC-s and MSC-ex, and provide a reference for the development of similar products in regenerative medicine.","PeriodicalId":21934,"journal":{"name":"Stem cells and development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45951963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
