    MicroRNA-377-3p Released by Mesenchymal Stem Cell Exosomes Ameliorates Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Lung Injury by Targeting RPTOR to Induce Autophagy

    Investigators found lipopolysaccharide significantly increased inflammatory factors, administration of exosomes released by human umbilical cord MSCs successfully improved lung morphometry.

    Arterial Endothelium Creates a Permissive Niche for Expansion of Human Cord Blood Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells

    A novel strategy was developed to support ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells by coculture with engineered human umbilical arterial endothelial cells, which expressed E4ORF1 stably by using a retroviral system.

    SIRT1-Modified Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Ameliorate Experimental Peritoneal Fibrosis by Inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad3 Pathway

    SIRT1 was overexpressed in human umbilical cord (UC) MSCs to establish SIRT1-modified hUCMSCs. Co-culture and transplantation experiments were performed in TGF-β-stimulated Met-5A cells and peritoneal damage rodent model to assess the therapeutic potential of SIRT1-modified hUCMSCs for peritoneal fibrosis through qPCR, Western blot, and peritoneal function analyses.

    Behavioral Changes in Stem-Cell Potency by HepG2-Exhausted Medium

    Investigators studied the expression of stemness-related genes, epigenetic regulators, miRNAs related to stemness, exosomes, the cell-cycle regulators p21 and p53, and the senescence-associated genes.

    Comparison of Immunosuppressant Regimens in Salvage Cord Blood Transplantation for Graft Failure after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

    Using nationwide registration data, scientists compared the transplant outcomes of patients who developed graft failure and underwent salvage cord blood transplanatation using immunosuppressants, including calcineurin (CNI) alone; CNI plus methotrexate; and CNI plus mycophenolate mofetil.

    Abstract

    Umbilical Cord Blood-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Promote Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cell Proliferation by Secreting HLA-G to Reduce Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

    In vitro experiments included 2 groups: peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after mobilization and human umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs co-cultured with PBMCs.

    Abstract

    Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells Exosomes and Conditioned Media Increased Neutrophil Lifespan and Phagocytosis Capacity

    Scientists showed that following in vitro expansion, Wharton’s jelly MSCs were more effective than other sources of MSCs. Cell to cell contact or secretion of soluble factors and exosomes were the main approaches of MSCs in applying their effects.

    Inflammatory Mediators in Glioma Microenvironment Play a Dual Role in Gliomagenesis and Mesenchymal Stem Cell Homing: Implication for Cellular Therapy

    Investigators highlight the bidirectional communication of glioma cells and tumor-associated immune cells, the inflammatory mediators enabling leukocytes and transplantable MSC migration, and review preclinical and human clinical trials using MSCs as delivery vehicles.
