BackgroundDespite the advancements in microsurgical techniques and noteworthy research in the last decade, peripheral nerve lesions have still weak functional outcomes in current clinical practice. However, cell transplantation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSC) in a bioengineered conduit has shown promising results in animal studies. Human platelet lysate (hPL) has been adopted to avoid fetal bovine serum (FBS) in consideration of the biosafety concerns inherent with the use of animal-derived products in tissue processing and cell culture steps for translational purposes. In this work, we investigate how the interplay between hPL-expanded hADSC (hADSChPL) and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins influences key elements of nerve regeneration.MethodshADSC were seeded on different ECM coatings (laminin, LN; fibronectin, FN) in hPL (or FBS)-supplemented medium and co-cultured with primary dorsal root ganglion (DRG) to establish the intrinsic effects of cell–ECM contact on neural outgrowth. Co-cultures were performed “direct,” where neural cells were seeded in contact with hADSC expanded on ECM-coated substrates (contact effect), or “indirect,” where DRG was treated with their conditioned medium (secretome effect). Brain-derived nerve factor (BDNF) levels were quantified. Tissue culture plastic (TCPS) was used as the control substrate in all the experiments.ResultshPL as supplement alone did not promote higher neurite elongation than FBS when combined with DRG on ECM substrates. However, in the presence of hADSC, hPL could dramatically enhance the stem cell effect with increased DRG neurite outgrowth when compared with FBS conditions, regardless of the ECM coating (in both indirect and direct co-cultures). The role of ECM substrates in influencing neurite outgrowth was less evident in the FBS conditions, while it was significantly amplified in the presence of hPL, showing better neural elongation in LN conditions when compared with FN and TCPS. Concerning hADSC growth factor secretion, ELISA showed significantly higher concentrations of BDNF when cells were expanded in hPL compared with FBS-added medium, without significant differences between cells cultured on the different ECM substrates.ConclusionThe data suggest how hADSC grown on LN and supplemented with hPL could be active and prone to support neuron–matrix interactions. hPL enhanced hADSC effects by increasing both proliferation and neurotrophic properties, including BDNF release.

The clinical application of human platelet lysate (HPL) holds promise for tissue regeneration, and the development of an efficient vehicle for its delivery is desired. Chitosan-based hydrogels are potential candidates, but they often exhibit weak mechanical properties. In this study, a chitosan/gelatin (CS-GE) hydrogel crosslinked by glyoxal was fabricated for sustained release of HPL. The influence of HPL on Hs68 fibroblast and human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) culture was evaluated, and we found that supplementing 5% HPL in the medium could significantly improve cell proliferation relative to supplementing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Moreover, HPL accelerated the in vitro wound closure of Hs68 cells and facilitated the tube formation of HUVECs. Subsequently, we fabricated CS-GE hydrogels crosslinked with different concentrations of glyoxal, and the release pattern of FITC-dextrans (4, 40 and 500 kDa) from the hydrogels was assessed. After an ideal glyoxal concentration was determined, we further characterized the crosslinked CS-GE hydrogels encapsulated with different amounts of HPL. The HPL-incorporated hydrogel was shown to significantly promote the proliferation of Hs68 cells and the migration of HUVECs. Moreover, the release pattern of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) from hydrogel was examined in vitro, demonstrating a sustained release profile of the growth factors. Finally, the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay revealed that HPL encapsulation in the hydrogel significantly stimulated angiogenesis in ovo. These results demonstrate the great potential of the crosslinked CS-GE hydrogel to serve as an effective delivery system for HPL to promote tissue regeneration.

AimThis study aimed to test whether human platelet lysate (HPL) has neurotrophic ability for corneal nerve regeneration.MethodsWe measured the neurotrophic factors in human peripheral serum (HPS) and two commercially available HPLs, UltraGRO and PLTMax. In vitro, we compared the growth rates, neuronal differentiation and immunostaining of neuron markers in mouse neuroblastoma cell line (Neuro-2a) and primary culture of mouse trigeminal ganglion cells that were cultivated in different concentrations of fetal bovine serum, HPS and HPL. In vivo, we created corneal wounds on Sprague Dawley rats with a rotating burr and evaluated the effects of topical HPL on wound healing and corneal nerve regeneration by in vivo confocal microscopy and corneal aesthesiometry.ResultsHPLs had significantly higher concentrations of various neurotrophic factors compared with HPS (p<0.05). In Neuro-2a cells, 3% HPL was better at promoting neuronal growth and differentiation compared with HPS at the same concentration. HPL was also found to have superior neurotrophic effects compared with HPS in primary cultures of mouse trigeminal ganglion cells. In vivo, HPL-treated eyes had better corneal epithelial wound healing rate, nerve regeneration length and corneal touch threshold compared with eyes treated with artificial tears (p<0.05).ConclusionHPL has significantly higher concentrations of neurotrophic factors compared with HPS. It showed not only in vitro but also in vivo corneal neurotrophic abilities. Our results suggest that HPL may have a potential role in the treatment of diseases related to corneal nerve damage or degeneration.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show potential for treating preclinical models of newborn bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), but studies of their therapeutic effectiveness have had mixed results, in part due to the use of different media supplements for MSCs expansion in vitro. The current study sought to identify an optimal culture supplement of umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) for BPD therapy. In this study, we found that UC-MSCs cultured with human platelet lysate (hPL-UCMSCs) were maintained a small size from Passage 1 (P1) to P10, while UC-MSCs cultured with fetal bovine serum (FBS-UCMSCs) became wide and flat. Furthermore, hPL was associated with lower levels of senescence in UC-MSCs during in vitro expansion compared with FBS, as indicated by the results of β-galactosidase staining and measures of senescence-related genes (CDKN2A, CDKN1A, and mTOR). In addition, hPL enhanced the proliferation and cell viability of the UC-MSCs and reduced their doubling time in vitro. Compared with FBS-UCMSCs, hPL-UCMSCs have a greater potential to differentiate into osteocytes and chondrocytes. Moreover, using hPL resulted in greater expression of Nestin and specific paracrine factors (VEGF, TGF-β1, FGF2, IL-8, and IL-6) in UC-MSCs compared to using FBS. Critically, we also found that hPL-UCMSCs are more effective than FBS-UCMSCs for the treatment of BPD in a rat model, with hPL leading to improvements in survival rate, lung architecture and fibrosis, and lung capillary density. Finally, qPCR of rat lung mRNA demonstrated that hPL-UCMSCs had lower expression levels of inflammatory factors (TNF-α and IL-1β) and a key chemokine (MCP-1) at postnatal day 10, and there was significant reduction of CD68+ macrophages in lung tissue after hPL-UCMSCs transplantation. Altogether, our findings suggest that hPL is an optimal culture supplement for UC-MSCs expansion in vitro, and that hPL-UCMSCs promote lung repair in rat BPD disease.
