The course of the disease depends on the person's immune system, physical properties, health status, etc. as it varies according to its characteristics while it is asymptomatic in some people, it causes fatal processes that start with flu-like symptoms such as cough, fever, respiratory distress in some people and progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), severe pneumonia and multi-organ dysfunction, and the basic mechanism underlying these effects known as a cytokine storm. There is no specific effective antiviral drug or vaccine in treatment yet. Supportive/alternative treatment methods are needed as both the desired effect cannot be achieved and undesirable side effects are seen with the current treatments used in the clinic. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are frequently preferred recently from basic studies to clinical studies and are effective and safe in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Graft-versus-Host disease. MSCs can secrete many types of cytokines through paracrine secretion or directly interact with immune cells leading to immunomodulation. According to the results of the completed studies; it has been stated that the cytokine storm caused by the overstimulation of the immune system decreases and even damage of the cytokine storm on organs decreases, respiratory distress is relieved and contributes to the healing process by repairing damaged tissues.

Recent studies have shown that lymphopenia and a cytokine mass release represent important pathogenic features, with clinical evidence of dyspnea and hypoxemia, often leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), in severely ill patients, with a high death toll. Currently, stem cells are actively being investigated for their potential use in many \"untreatable\" diseases. In this regard and in particular, Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC), due to their intrinsic features, including either ability to impact on regulation of the immune system, or association with both anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties, or potential for differentiation into several cell lineages, have become a promising tool for cell and molecular-based therapies.

Despite their low numbers and limited accessibility in the mouse embryo, they can be easily and rapidly reprogrammed at high efficiency with external physicochemical factors and do not require transcription factor transfection. Employing this model to deepen our understanding of cell reprogramming, we specifically aimed to determine the relevance of Ca<sup>2+</sup> signal transduction pathway components in the reprogramming process. Our results showed that PGC reprogramming requires a normal extracellular [Ca<sup>2+</sup>] range, in contrast to neoplastic or transformed cells, which can continue to proliferate in Ca<sup>2+</sup>-deficient media, differentiating normal reprogramming from neoplastic transformation. Our results also showed that a spike in extracellular [Ca<sup>2+</sup>] of 1-3 mM can directly reprogram PGC. Intracellular manipulation of Ca<sup>2+</sup> signal transduction pathway components revealed that inhibition of classical Ca<sup>2+</sup> and diacylglycerol (DAG)-dependent PKCs, or intriguingly, of only the novel DAG-dependent PKC, PKCε, were able to induce reprogramming. PKCε inhibition changed the metabolism of PGCs toward glycolysis, increasing the proportion of inactive mitochondria. This metabolic switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis is mediated by hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), given we found upregulation of both HIF1α and HIF2α in the first 48 hours of culturing. PKCε inhibition did not change the classical pluripotency gene expression of PGCs, Oct4, or Nanog. PKCε inhibition changed the histone acetylation of PGCs, with histones H2B, H3, and H4 becoming acetylated in PKCε-inhibited cultures (markers were H2BacK20, H3acK9, and H4acK5K8, K12, K16), suggesting that reprogramming by PKCε inhibition is mediated by histone acetylation.</p>","PeriodicalId":7657,"journal":{"name":"American journal of stem cells","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8012778/pdf/ajsc0010-0001.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25558623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
