The role of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell derivatives in skin wound healing in diabetic mice.

ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown to be a promising tool in cell therapies to treat different conditions. Several pre-clinical and clinical studies have proved that the transplantation of MSCs improves wound healing. Here, we compare the beneficial effects of mouse bone marrow-derived allogeneic MSCs (allo-mBM-MSCs) and their acelullar derivatives (allo-acd-mMSCs) on skin wound healing in Non-Obese Diabetic (NOD) mice. One dose of allo-mBM-MSCs (1×106 cells) or one dose of allo-acd-mMSCs (1X) were intradermally injected around wounds in 8-10 week old female NOD mice. Wound healing was evaluated macroscopically (wound closure) every two days, and microscopically (reepithelialization, dermoepidermal junction, skin appendage regeneration, leukocyte infiltration, vascularization, granulation tissue formation, and density of collagen fibers in the dermis) after 16 days of MSC injection. In addition, we measured growth factors and specific proteins that were present in the allo-acd-mMSCs. Results showed significant differences in the wound healing kinetics of lesions that received allo-acd-mMSCs compared to lesions that received vehicle or allo-mBM-MSCs. In particular, mice treated with allo-acd-mMSCs reached significantly higher percentages of wound closure at day 4, 6 and 8, relative to the allo-mBM-MSCs and vehicle groups (p < 0.05), while wound closure percentages could not be statistically distinguished between the allo-mBM-MSCs and vehicle groups. Also, allo-acd-mMSCs had a greater influence in the skin would healing process. Specifically, they caused a less pronounced inflammatory severe response (p < 0.0001), more granulation tissue formation at an advanced stage (p < 0.0001), and higher density of collagen fibers (p < 0.05) compared to the other groups. Nevertheless, at day 16, both allo-mBM-MSCs and allo-acd-mMSCs revealed a higher effect on the recovery of the quality skin (continuous epidermis; regular dermoepidermal junction and skin appendages) relative to untreated lesions (p < 0.0001), but not between them. On the other hand, ELISA analyses indicated that the allo-acd-mMSCs contained growth factors and proteins relevant to wound healing such as IGF-1, KGF, HGF, VEGF, ANG-2, MMP-1, CoL-1 and PGE2. Compared to allo-acd-mMSCs, the administration of allo-mBM-MSCs is insufficient for wound healing in diabetic mice and delays the therapeutic effect, which maybe explained by the fact that trophic factors secreted by MSCs are critical for skin regeneration, and not the cells per se, suggesting that MSCs may require some time to secrete these factors after their administration.

Project description:IntroductionSilk fibroin (SF) scaffolds have been shown to be a suitable substrate for tissue engineering and to improve tissue regeneration when cellularized with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). We here demonstrate, for the first time, that electrospun nanofibrous SF patches cellularized with human adipose-derived MSCs (Ad-MSCs-SF), or decellularized (D-Ad-MSCs-SF), are effective in the treatment of skin wounds, improving skin regeneration in db/db diabetic mice.MethodsThe conformational and structural analyses of SF and D-Ad-MSCs-SF patches were performed by scanning electron microscopy, confocal microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Wounds were performed by a 5 mm punch biopsy tool on the mouse's back. Ad-MSCs-SF and D-Ad-MSCs-SF patches were transplanted and the efficacy of treatments was assessed by measuring the wound closure area, by histological examination and by gene expression profile. We further investigated the in vitro angiogenic properties of Ad-MSCs-SF and D-Ad-MSCs-SF patches by affecting migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), keratinocytes (KCs) and dermal fibroblasts (DFs), through the aortic ring assay and, finally, by evaluating the release of angiogenic factors.ResultsWe found that Ad-MSCs adhere and grow on SF, maintaining their phenotypic mesenchymal profile and differentiation capacity. Conformational and structural analyses on SF and D-Ad-MSCs-SF samples, showed that sterilization, decellularization, freezing and storing did not affect the SF structure. When grafted in wounds of diabetic mice, both Ad-MSCs-SF and D-Ad-MSCs-SF significantly improved tissue regeneration, reducing the wound area respectively by 40% and 35%, within three days, completing the process in around 10 days compared to 15-17 days of controls. RT2 gene profile analysis of the wounds treated with Ad-MSCs-SF and D-Ad-MSCs-SF showed an increment of genes involved in angiogenesis and matrix remodeling. Finally, Ad-MSCs-SF and D-Ad-MSCs-SF co-cultured with HUVECs, DFs and KCs, preferentially enhanced the HUVECs' migration and the release of angiogenic factors stimulating microvessel outgrowth in the aortic ring assay.ConclusionsOur results highlight for the first time that D-Ad-MSCs-SF patches are almost as effective as Ad-MSCs-SF patches in the treatment of diabetic wounds, acting through a complex mechanism that involves stimulation of angiogenesis. Our data suggest a potential use of D-Ad-MSCs-SF patches in chronic diabetic ulcers in humans.

Project description:BackgroundRefractory diabetic wounds are a common occurrence in patients with diabetes and epidermis-specific macroautophagy/autophagy impairment has been implicated in their pathogenesis. Therefore, identifying and developing treatment strategies capable of normalizing epidermis-specific macroautophagy/autophagy could facilitate diabetic wound healing. The study aims to investigate the potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (BMSC-exos) from hypoxic conditions as a treatment to normalize epidermis-specific autophagy for diabetic wound healing.MethodsWe compared the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC)-sourced exosomes (BMSC-Exos) from hypoxic conditions to those of BMSC in normoxic conditions (noBMSC-Exos). Our studies involved morphometric assessment of the exosomes, identification of the microRNA (miRNA) responsible for the effects, evaluation of keratinocyte functions and examination of effects of the exosomes on several molecules involved in the autophagy pathway such as microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta, beclin 1, sequestosome 1, autophagy-related 5 and autophagy-related 5. The experiments used human BMSCs from the American Type Culture Collection, an in vivo mouse model of diabetes (db/db) to assess wound healing, as well as the human keratinocyte HaCaT cell line. In the methodology, the authors utilized an array of approaches that included electron microscopy, small interfering RNA (siRNA) studies, RNA in situ hybridization, quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR), the isolation, sequencing and differential expression of miRNAs, as well as the use of miR-4645-5p-specific knockdown with an inhibitor.ResultsHypoxia affected the release of exosomes from hypoxic BMSCs (hy-BMSCs) and influenced the size and morphology of the exosomes. Moreover, hyBMSC-Exo treatment markedly improved keratinocyte function, including keratinocyte autophagy, proliferation and migration. miRNA microarray and bioinformatics analysis showed that the target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs were mainly enriched in 'autophagy' and 'process utilizing autophagic mechanism' in the 'biological process' category and miR-4645-5p as a major contributor to the pro-autophagy effect of hyBMSC-Exos. Moreover, mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAPK2) was identified as a potential target of exosomal miR-4645-5p; this was confirmed using a dual luciferase assay. Exosomal miR-4645-5p mediates the inactivation of the MAPKAPK2-induced AKT kinase group (comprising AKT1, AKT2, and AKT3), which in turn suppresses AKT-mTORC1 signaling, thereby facilitating miR-4645-5p-mediated autophagy.ConclusionsOverall, the results of this study showed that hyBMSC-Exo-mediated transfer of miR-4645-5p inactivated MAPKAPK2-induced AKT-mTORC1 signaling in keratinocytes, which activated keratinocyte autophagy, proliferation and migration, resulting in diabetic wound healing in mice. Collectively, the findings could aid in the development of a novel therapeutic strategy for diabetic wounds.
