Cinnamtannin B-1 Promotes Migration of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Accelerates Wound Healing in Mice.

ABSTRACT: Substances that enhance the migration of mesenchymal stem cells to damaged sites have the potential to improve the effectiveness of tissue repair. We previously found that ethanol extracts of Mallotus philippinensis bark promoted migration of mesenchymal stem cells and improved wound healing in a mouse model. We also demonstrated that bark extracts contain cinnamtannin B-1, a flavonoid with in vitro migratory activity against mesenchymal stem cells. However, the in vivo effects of cinnamtannin B-1 on the migration of mesenchymal stem cells and underlying mechanism of this action remain unknown. Therefore, we examined the effects of cinnamtannin B-1 on in vivo migration of mesenchymal stem cells and wound healing in mice. In addition, we characterized cinnamtannin B-1-induced migration of mesenchymal stem cells pharmacologically and structurally. The mobilization of endogenous mesenchymal stem cells into the blood circulation was enhanced in cinnamtannin B-1-treated mice as shown by flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood cells. Whole animal imaging analysis using luciferase-expressing mesenchymal stem cells as a tracer revealed that cinnamtannin B-1 increased the homing of mesenchymal stem cells to wounds and accelerated healing in a diabetic mouse model. Additionally, the cinnamtannin B-1-induced migration of mesenchymal stem cells was pharmacologically susceptible to inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, phospholipase C, lipoxygenase, and purines. Furthermore, biflavonoids with similar structural features to cinnamtannin B-1 also augmented the migration of mesenchymal stem cells by similar pharmacological mechanisms. These results demonstrate that cinnamtannin B-1 promoted mesenchymal stem cell migration in vivo and improved wound healing in mice. Furthermore, the results reveal that cinnamtannin B-1-induced migration of mesenchymal stem cells may be mediated by specific signaling pathways, and the flavonoid skeleton may be relevant to its effects on mesenchymal stem cell migration.

Project description:BackgroundThe secretomes of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have great therapeutic potential and thereby their efficient delivery into the target site is of particular interest. Here, we propose a new strategy of hMSCs-derived secretomes delivery for advanced wound healing upon harnessing the working principle of extracellular matrix (ECM)-growth factors interaction in vivo.MethodsWe prepared an alginate hydrogel based wound patch, where it contains both human MSC-derived secretomes and ECM. The ECM was obtained from the decellularization of in vitro cultured human lung fibroblasts. The alginate solution was blended with ECM suspension, crosslinked, air-dried, then rehydrated with the secretomes contained in the concentrated conditioned media (CCM) as a highly saturated form of conditioned media (CM). We tested four different groups, with or without the ECM to investigate not only the role of ECM but the therapeutic effect of secretomes.ResultsThe secretomes reserved many, diverse bioactive factors, such as VEGF, HGF, IGFBPs, IL-6, and IL-8. Alginate/ECM/CCM (AEC) patch could hold significantly larger amount of secretomes and release them longer than the other groups. Our AEC patch was the most effective in stimulating not only cell migration and proliferation but the collagen synthesis of dermal fibroblasts in vitro. Moreover, the AEC patch-treated full-thickness skin wounds disclosed significantly better wound healing indications: cell recruitment, neovascularization, epidermis thickness, keratinocyte migration, and mature collagen deposition, as assessed via histology (H&E, Herovici staining) and immunofluorescence, respectively. In particular, our AEC patch enabled a phenotype shift of myofibroblast into fibroblast over time and led to mature blood vessel formation at 14 day.ConclusionsWe believe that ECM certainly contributed to generate a secretomes-enriched milieu via ECM-secretomes interactions and thereby such secretomes could be delivered more efficiently, exerting significant therapeutic impact either individually or collectively during wound healing process.

Project description:Background:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be easily expanded without losing the ability of multilineage differentiation, including oesteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation. These characters make MSCs a promising cell resource for cartilage defect repair. MSCs could be recruited by inflammatory stimulation, then home to the injury tissues. However, its capacity of homing is extremely limited. Thus, it has become extremely necessary to develop an agent or a method, which can be used to enhance the efficiency of MSCs homing. This study investigates the effect of stearic acid methyl ester (SAME) on MSCs mobilisation and cartilage regeneration. Methods:MSCs were isolated from femurs of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. MTT assay was used to detect effect of SAME on viability of MSCs. Transwell assay and wound healing assay were used to detect effect of SAME on migration of MSCs. RNA-seq, quantitative real-time PCR and western blot were performed to analyze the expression of RNAs and proteins. Colony forming assay and flow cytometry were used to evaluate the effect of SAME on MSCs mobilisation in vivo. A rat cartilage defect model was created to evaluate the effect of SAME on cartilage regeneration. Results:We found that SAME could promote the migration of MSCs. Interestingly, we found SAME significantly increased the expression levels of Vav1 in MSCs. On the other hand, the enhanced migration ability of MSCs induced by SAME was retarded by Vav1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) and Rho-associated protein kinase 2 (ROCK2) inhibitor. In addition, we also checked the effect of SAME on mobilisation of MSCs in vivo. The results showed that SAME increased the number of MSCs in peripheral blood and enhanced the capacity of colony formation. Finally, using a cartilage defect model in rats, we found SAME could improve cartilage repair. Conclusion:Our study demonstrates that SAME can enhance MSCs migration ability mainly through the Vav1/ROCK2 signaling pathway, which could contribute to the accelerated cartilage regeneration. The translational potential of this article:These findings provide evidence that SAME could be used as a therapeutic reagent for MSCs mobilisation and cartilage regeneration.
