Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive malignancy that affects myeloid cells. The major disease burden is caused by immature blast cells, which are eliminated using conventional chemotherapies. Unfortunately, relapse is a leading cause of death in AML patients, with 30%-80% experiencing it within 2 years of initial treatment. The dominant cause of relapse in leukemia is the presence of therapy-resistant leukemic stem cells (LSCs). These cells express genes related to stemness that are frequently difficult to eradicate and tend to survive standard treatments. Studies have demonstrated that by targeting the metabolic pathways of LSCs, it is possible to improve outcomes and extend the survival of those afflicted by leukemia. The overwhelming evidence suggests that lipid metabolism is reprogrammed in LSCs, leading to an increase in fatty acid uptake and de novo lipogenesis. Genes regulating this process also play a crucial role in therapy evasion. In this concise review, we summarize the lipid metabolism in normal hematopoietic cells, AML blast cells, and AML LSCs. We also compare the lipid metabolic signatures in de novo versus therapy-resistant AML blast and LSCs. We further discuss the metabolic switches, cellular crosstalk, potential targets, and inhibitors of lipid metabolism that could alleviate treatment resistance and relapse.","PeriodicalId":231,"journal":{"name":"STEM CELLS","volume":" ","pages":"200-215"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139085276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our previous study developed a gene-edited mice model (β654-ER mice) by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing, targeting both the βIVS2-654 (C > T) mutation site and the 3' splicing acceptor site at 579 and corrected abnormal β-globin mRNA splicing in the β654-thalassemia mice. Herein, we further explored the therapeutic effect of the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from β654-ER mice on β-thalassemia by consecutive HSC transplantation. The results indicated that HSC transplantation derived from gene-edited mice can significantly improve the survival rate of mice after lethal radiation doses and effectively achieve hematopoietic reconstruction and long-term hematopoiesis. Clinical symptoms, including hematologic parameters and tissue pathology of transplanted recipients, were significantly improved compared to the non-transplanted β654 mice. The therapeutic effect of gene-edited HSC transplantation demonstrated no significant difference in hematological parameters and tissue pathology compared with wild-type mouse-derived HSCs. Our data revealed that HSC transplantation from gene-edited mice completely recovered the β-thalassemia phenotype. Our study systematically investigated the therapeutic effect of HSCs derived from β654-ER mice on β-thalassemia and further confirmed the efficacy of our gene-editing approach. Altogether, it provided a reference and primary experimental data for the clinical usage of such gene-edited HSCs in the future.","PeriodicalId":231,"journal":{"name":"STEM CELLS","volume":" ","pages":"278-289"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138883779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In certain kidney diseases such as acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease, current treatments are limited to slowing rather than stabilizing or reversing disease progression. Therefore, it is crucial to study the pathological mechanisms of kidney disease and discover new therapeutic targets and effective therapeutic drugs. As cell-free therapeutic strategies are continually being developed, extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EVs) have emerged as a hot topic for research in the field of renal diseases. Studies have demonstrated that MSC-EVs not only reproduce the therapeutic effects of MSCs but also localize to damaged kidney tissue. Compared to MSCs, MSC-EVs have several advantages, including ease of preservation, low immunogenicity, an inability to directly form tumors, and ease of artificial modification. Exploring the detailed mechanisms of MSC-EVs by developing standardized culture, isolation, purification, and drug delivery strategies will help facilitate their clinical application in kidney diseases. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of studies about MSC-EVs in kidney diseases and discuss their limitations at the human nephrology level.","PeriodicalId":231,"journal":{"name":"STEM CELLS","volume":" ","pages":"216-229"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138456744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We obtained PDL fibroblasts from hPDLCs by treatment with low concentrations of TGF-β1. Since the extracellular matrix and cell surface molecules play an important role in differentiation, we had previously developed a series of monoclonal antibodies against PDL fibroblast-specific cell surface molecules. One of these, the anti-PDL51 antibody, recognized a protein that was significantly upregulated in TGF-β1-induced PDL fibroblasts and highly accumulated in the PDL region of the tooth root. Mass spectrometry revealed that the antigen recognized by the anti-PDL51 antibody was leucine-rich repeat containing 15 (LRRC15), and this antibody specifically recognized the extracellular glycosylated moiety of LRRC15. Experiments presented here show that as fibroblastic differentiation progresses, increased amounts of LRRC15 localized at the cell surface and membrane. Inhibition of LRRC15 by siRNA-mediated depletion and by antibody blocking resulted in downregulation of the representative PDL fibroblastic markers. Moreover, following LRRC15 inhibition, the directed and elongated cell phenotypes disappeared, and the long processes of the end of the cell body were no longer found. Through a specific interaction between integrin β1 and LRRC15, the focal adhesion kinase signaling pathway was activated in PDL fibroblasts. Furthermore, it was shown that increased LRRC15 was important for the activation of the integrin-mediated cell adhesion signal pathway for regulation of cellular functions, including fibroblastic differentiation, proliferation, and cell migration arising from the expression of PDL-related genes in TGF-β1-induced PDL fibroblastic differentiation.","PeriodicalId":231,"journal":{"name":"STEM CELLS","volume":" ","pages":"251-265"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138486313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Normally, multipotential stem/progenitor cells may contribute to tissue homeostasis, and to minimize the age-depending DNA damage. Scientific research has demonstrated that aging induces several complex changes affecting even the mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) ability to self-renew, differentiate, and immunomodulate the human tissues, causing further alterations in the local microenvironment. Cellular senescence can thus be considered as an overall response to several damages. Accordingly, aging seems to create the proper conditions to decrease the tissue's metabolic performance, and the cell-to-cell communication, resulting in a progressive tissue destruction; on the other hand, the MSCs functions appear to be severely reduced. This concise review summarizes the main alterations affecting the MSCs during aging, and it also explains the role of inflammation as a key player in age-related syndromes. The hypothesis is to suggest a parallelism between the thermodynamic concept of \"entropy\" and biological aging, speculating that both can increase within irreversible systems and both lead toward an irreversible disorder; so, the question is: should we translate aging as disorder?","PeriodicalId":231,"journal":{"name":"STEM CELLS","volume":" ","pages":"91-97"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89716253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we examined the effects of BK channels on the differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and the related mechanisms. BKα and β1 subunits were expressed on adipocytes. We found that both deletion of the KCNMA1 gene, encoding the pore forming α subunit of BK channels, and the BK channel inhibitor paxilline increased the expression of key genes in the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) pathway and promoted adipogenetic differentiation of ADSCs. We also observed that the MAPK-ERK pathway participates in BK channel deficiency-promoted adipogenic differentiation of ADSCs and that ERK inhibitors blocked the differentiation-promoting effect of BK channel deficiency. Hyperplasia of adipocytes is considered beneficial for metabolic health. These results indicate that BK channels play an important role in adipose hyperplasia by regulating the differentiation of ADSCs and may become an important target for studying the pathogenesis and treatment strategies of metabolic disorder-related diseases.","PeriodicalId":231,"journal":{"name":"STEM CELLS","volume":" ","pages":"146-157"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89716252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the regeneration efficiency relies on the odontoblastic differentiation capacity of hDPSCs, this is difficult to regulate within the pulp cavity. Although nicotinamide riboside (NR) has been found to promote tissue regeneration, its specific role in pulp-dentin complex regeneration is not fully understood. Here, we aimed to explore the role of NR in the odontoblastic differentiation of hDPSCs and its underlying molecular mechanism. It was found that NR enhanced the viability and retarded senescence in hDPSCs with higher NAD+/NADH levels. In contrast to the sustained action of NR, the multi-directional differentiation of hDPSCs was enhanced after NR pre-treatment. Moreover, in an ectopic pulp regeneration assay in nude mice, transplantation of hDPSCs pretreated with NR promoted the formation of a dentin-like structure surrounded by cells positively expressing DMP-1 and DSPP. RNA-Seq demonstrated inhibition of the HIF-1 signaling pathway in hDPSCs pretreated with NR. The number of HIF-1α-positive cells was significantly decreased in hDPSCs pretreated by NR in vivo. Similarly, NR significantly downregulated the expression of HIF-1α in vitro. The findings suggested that NR could potentially regulate hDPSC odontoblastic differentiation and promote the development of innovative strategies for dental pulp repair.","PeriodicalId":231,"journal":{"name":"STEM CELLS","volume":" ","pages":"116-127"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89716258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
