This secretory activity is an important feature of senescent cells, since the secreted factors impact the surrounding cellular microenvironment. Indeed, senescent cells and their secretome play a crucial role during limb development. However, whether the process of limb regeneration also relies on senescent cells remains unclear. Creation of a novel targeted depletion strategy that can eliminate senescent cells in the regenerating limb has now demonstrated an important role for senescent cells in limb regeneration. This role is linked to senescent cell-derived Wnt signaling.

MSCs are multipotent stem cells that can be isolated from various tissues and could self-renew and differentiate. They secrete cytokines and trophic factors that create a regenerative microenvironment and have immunomodulatory properties. Although clinical trials have been conducted with MSCs in various diseases, concerns regarding the possibility of malignant transformation of these cells have been raised. The studies showed a higher rate of hematological malignancy and carcinogenesis in experimental models after MSC transplantation. The mechanisms underlying malignant transformation of MSCs are complex and not fully understood, but they are believed to involve the presence of special signaling molecules and alterations in cell behavior regulation pathways. Possible pathways that lead to MSCs' oncogenic transformation occur through two mechanisms: spontaneous and stimulated malignant transformation, including cell fusion, fusion proteins, and the tumor microenvironment. MSC-based therapies have the potential to revolutionize medicine, and addressing the issue of malignancy is crucial to ensure their safety and efficacy. Therefore, the purpose of the present review is to summarize the potential mechanisms of the malignant transformation of MSCs.
