Vascular ulcers are a serious complication of peripheral vascular disease, especially in diabetics. Several approaches to treat the wounds are proposed but they show poor outcomes and require long healing times. Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor (HGF/SF) is a pleiotropic cytokine exerting many biological activities through the c-Met receptor. This study was aimed at verifying whether HGF/SF influences proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis on mesenchymal stem cells isolated from human arteries (hVW-MSCs). hVW-MSCs were exposed to NIBSC HGF/SF (2.5, 5, 10, and 70 ng/mL) from 6 hrs to 7 days. HGF and c-MET mRNA and protein expression, cell proliferation (Alamar Blue and Ki–67 assay), migration (scratch and transwell assays), and angiogenesis (Matrigel) were investigated. hVW-MSCs displayed stemness features and expressed HGF and c-MET. HGF/SF did not increase hVW-MSC proliferation, whereas it enhanced the cell migration, the formation of capillary-like structures, and the expression of angiogenic markers (vWF, CD31, and KDR). The HGF/SF effects on hVW-MSC migration and angiogenic potential are of great interest to accelerate wound healing process. Local delivery of HGF/SF could therefore improve the healing of unresponsive vascular ulcers.

Curcumin, a hydrophobic polyphenol derived from turmeric, has been used a food additive and as a herbal medicine for the treatment of various diseases, but the clinical application of curcumin is restricted by its poor aqueous solubility and its low permeability and bioavailability levels. In the present study, we investigate the functional role of a nanosphere loaded with curcumin (CN) in the promotion of the motility of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) during the skin wound healing process. CN significantly increased the motility of umbilical cord blood (UCB)-MSCs and showed 10,000-fold greater migration efficacy than curcumin. CN stimulated the phosphorylation of c-Src and protein kinase C which are responsible for the distinctive activation of the MAPKs. Interestingly, CN significantly induced the expression levels of α-actinin-1, profilin-1 and filamentous-actin, as regulated by the phosphorylation of nuclear factor-kappa B during its promotion of cell migration. In a mouse skin excisional wound model, we found that transplantation of UCB-MSCs pre-treated with CN enhanced wound closure, granulation, and re-epithelialization at mouse skin wound sites. These results indicate that CN is a functional agent that promotes the mobilization of UCB-MSCs for cutaneous wound repair.

Tissue regeneration is often impaired in patients with metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus and obesity, exhibiting reduced wound repair and limited regeneration capacity. We and others have demonstrated that wound healing under normal metabolic conditions is potentiated by the secretome of human endothelial cell-differentiated mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC-EC). However, it is unknown whether this effect is sustained under hyperglycemic conditions. In this study, the wound healing effect of secretomes from undifferentiated human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) and hMSC-EC in a type-2 diabetes mouse model was analyzed. hMSC were isolated from human Wharton’s jelly and differentiated into hMSC-EC. hMSC and hMSC-EC secretomes were analyzed and their wound healing capacity in C57Bl/6J mice fed with control (CD) or high fat diet (HFD) was evaluated. Our results showed that hMSC-EC secretome enhanced endothelial cell proliferation and wound healing in vivo when compared with hMSC secretome. Five soluble proteins (angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2, Factor de crecimiento fibroblástico, Matrix metallopeptidase 9, and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) were enriched in hMSC-EC secretome in comparison to hMSC secretome. Thus, the five recombinant proteins were mixed, and their pro-healing property was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Functional analysis demonstrated that a cocktail of these proteins enhanced the wound healing process similar to hMSC-EC secretome in HFD mice. Overall, our results show that hMSC-EC secretome or a combination of specific proteins enriched in the hMSC-EC secretome enhanced wound healing process under hyperglycemic conditions.

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to explore the wound healing effect of Tcf3 in rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and their effects on wound healing. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) were used to induce BMSCs differentiation into epithelial-like cells. Western Blotting analysis and RT-qPCR were performed to assess the expression levels of Tcf3 and the markers of epithelial-like cells, such as Cytokeratin-18 (CK-18), CK-19 and P63. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and clone formation assay were carried out to detect cell viability. Immunohistochemistry and HE staining were used to assess the level of Tcf3 protein and skin repair degree, respectively. Rat wound healing model was built to evaluate the effects of BMSCs with altered expression of Tcf3 on wound healing. Results showed that EGF and FGFs stimulation increased the expression of CK-18, CK-19 and P63, improved BMSCs viability, but decreased the expression of Tcf3. Knockdown of Tcf3 in BMSCs increased CK-18, CK-19 and P63 expression and improved cell proliferation, as well as accelerated wound healing process. Moreover, inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling weakened the effect of Tcf3 down-regulation on BMSCs proliferation enhancement. And inhibition of Notch1 signaling impeded the epithelial-like cell differentiation of BMSCs induced by Tcf3 down-regulation. Our study reveals that knockdown of Tcf3 enhances the wound healing process of BMSCs in rat, which provides new approach for accelerating skin regeneration.

The Impact

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) are well known for their secretory potential, which confers them useful properties in cell therapy. Nevertheless, this therapeutic potential is reduced after transplantation due to their short survival in the human body and their migration property. This study proposes a method to protect cells during and after injection by encapsulation in microparticles of calcium alginate. Besides, the consequences of encapsulation on ASC proliferation, pluripotential, and secretome were studied. Spherical particles with a mean diameter of 500 µm could be obtained in a reproducible manner with a viability of 70% after 16 days in vitro. Moreover, encapsulation did not alter the proliferative properties of ASCs upon return to culture nor their differentiation potential in adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteocytes. Concerning their secretome, encapsulated ASCs consistently produced greater amounts of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) compared to monolayer cultures. Encapsulation therefore appears to enrich the secretome with transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and macrophage inflammatory protein-1β (MIP-1β) not detectable in monolayer cultures. Alginate microparticles seem sufficiently porous to allow diffusion of the cytokines of interest. With all these cytokines playing an important role in wound healing, it appears relevant to investigate the impact of using encapsulated ASCs on the wound healing process.
