Abstract Background: Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a spectrum of disorders including stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) can induce mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into smooth muscle cells (SMCs). SMCs derived from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) can be used to repair damaged pelvic floor smooth muscle tissues, which is of great interest for clinical applications using stem cell therapy for PFD. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway acts as a decisive factor in the fate of stem cells.Methods and Results: In this study, we used medium containing TGF-β1, TGF-β1 inhibitor LY2109761, or Wnt/β-catenin inhibitor KYA1797K, to induce ADCSs to differentiate into SMCs in vitro to explore the influence of TGF-β1 on the myogenic differentiation of ADCSs via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Results: 1) TGF-β1 induces ADSC-derived SMCs to hyper-express the SMC markers including SMA-α, Desmin, Calponin, and SMMHC ; 2) TGF-β1 activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in ADSCs. After blocking TGF-β1, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and myogenic differentiation in cells were inhibited; 3) the Wnt/β-catenin pathway is involved in the differentiation of ADSCs into SMCs. After differentiation induction, the synchronized changes in the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling and the expression of SMC-specific proteins showed a trend of simultaneous changes, and after the inhibition of the Wnt pathway, the adult muscle differentiation was significantly inhibited.Conclusions: We established a simpler and more efficient method for inducing ADSCs to differentiate into SMCs using TGF-β1 and demonstrated that the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is activated during this process.

We aim to investigate the effects of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) transplantation on irradiation-induced skeletal muscle fibrosis. Sixty-four rabbits were randomly divided into ASCs group and PBS group followed by irradiation at unilateral hip with a single dose of 80 Gy. Nonirradiated side with normal skeletal muscle served as normal control. Skeletal muscle tissues were collected from eight rabbits in each group at 1 w, 4 w, 8 w, and 26 w after irradiation. Migration of ASCs was observed in the peripheral tissues along the needle passage in the injured muscle. The proportion of the area of collagen fibers to the total area in sections of ASCs group was lower than those of PBS groups at 4 w, 8 w, and 26 w after irradiation. Significant decrease was noted in the integrated optimal density of the transforming growth factorβ1 (TGF-β1) in the ASCs group compared with those of PBS group at 4 w, 8 w, and 26 w after irradiation. Moreover, the expression of TGF-β1 was lower in the ASCs group compared to those of the PBS group at each time point determined by Western blot analysis. ASCs transplantation could alleviate irradiation fibrosis by suppressing the level of TGF-β1 in the irradiated skeletal muscle.

This study aimed to investigate molecularly targeted therapy to revive bone remodeling and prevent BRONJ by local adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) transplantation. Clinical samples of BRONJ and healthy jawbones were used to examine the bone coupling-related cells and TGF-β1 expression. Bone coupling-related cells and TGF-β1 expression were also assessed in BRONJ-like animal model to confirm the results in clinical samples. ADSCs were locally administered in vivo and the therapeutic effects were evaluated by gross observation, radiological imaging, and histological examination. Furthermore, ADSCs-conditioned medium (ADSCs-CM) and neutralizing antibody were applied to assess the effects of ADSCs-derived TGF-β1 on restoring bone coupling in vivo. Osteoclast formation and resorption assays were performed to evaluate the effects of ADSCs-derived TGF-β1 on ZA-treated pre-osteoclasts. Cell migration was performed to assess the effects of ADSCs-derived TGF-β1 on patients’ bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs). The number of osteoclasts, Runx2-positive bone-lining cells (BLCs) and TGF-β1 expression were decreased in BRONJ and animal model jaw bone samples. These reductions were significantly rescued and necrotic jawbone healing was effectively promoted by local ADSCs administration in BRONJ-like animal models. Mechanistically, ADSCs-CM mainly contributed to promoting bone coupling, while TGF-β1 neutralizing antibody in the conditioned medium inhibited these effects. Besides, osteoclastogenesis and patients’ BMSCs migration were also rescued by ADSCs-derived TGF-β1. Furthermore, bone resorption-released bone matrix TGF-β1, together with ADSCs-derived TGF-β1, synergistically contributed to rescuing BMSCs migration. Collectively, ADSCs promoted bone healing of BRONJ by TGF-β1-activated osteoclastogenesis and BMSCs migration capacities.
