Cell replacement therapy using mesenchymal (MSC) and other stem cells has been evaluated for diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. This approach has significant limitations, including few cells integrated, aberrant growth, and surgical complications. Mesenchymal Stem Cell Exosomes/Extracellular Vesicles (MSC EVs), which include exosomes and microvesicles, are an emerging alternative, promoting immunomodulation, repair, and regeneration by mediating MSC’s paracrine effects. For the clinical translation of EV therapy, it is important to determine the cellular destination and time course of EV uptake in the retina following administration. Here, we tested the cellular fate of EVs using in vivo rat retinas, ex vivo retinal explant, and primary retinal cells. Intravitreally administered fluorescent EVs were rapidly cleared from the vitreous. Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) had maximal EV fluorescence at 14 days post administration, and microglia at 7 days. Both in vivo and in the explant model, most EVs were no deeper than the inner nuclear layer. Retinal astrocytes, microglia, and mixed neurons in vitro endocytosed EVs in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, our results indicate that intravitreal EVs are suited for the treatment of retinal diseases affecting the inner retina. Modification of the EV surface should be considered for maintaining EVs in the vitreous for prolonged delivery.

The present study investigated the in vitro antibacterial, antibiofilm and anti-Quorum Sensing (anti-QS) activities of canine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned media (cBM MSC CM) containing all secreted factors <30 K, using a disc diffusion test (DDT), spectrophotometric Crystal Violet Assay (SCVA) and Bioluminescence Assay (BA) with QS-reporter Escherichia coli JM109 pSB1142. The results show a sample-specific bacterial growth inhibition (zones varied between 7–30 mm), statistically significant modulation of biofilm-associated Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bioluminescence (0.391 ± 0.062 in the positive control to the lowest 0.150 ± 0.096 in the experimental group, cf. 11,714 ± 1362 to 7753 ± 700, given as average values of absorbance A550 ± SD versus average values of relative light units to growth RLU/A550 ± SD). The proteomic analysis performed in our previous experiment revealed the presence of several substances with documented antibacterial, antibiofilm and immunomodulatory properties (namely, apolipoprotein B and D; amyloid-β peptide; cathepsin B; protein S100-A4, galectin 3, CLEC3A, granulin, transferrin). This study highlights that cBM MSC CM may represent an important new approach to managing biofilm-associated and QS signal molecule-dependent bacterial infections. To the best of our knowledge, there is no previous documentation of canine BM MSC CM associated with in vitro antibiofilm and anti-QS activity.

Anti-CD18 monoclonal antibodies (MAb) have demonstrated variable protection against neutrophil (PMN)-mediated myocardial reperfusion injury. To identify factors contributing to this variability, open-chest dogs underwent coronary artery occlusion for 90 min followed by reperfusion for 3.5 h. Ten minutes before reperfusion the dogs received saline (n = 18) or one of three anti-CD18 MAb: MHM.23, R15.7, or PLM-2 (2, 1, and 1 mg/kg and n = 19, 8, and 4, respectively). Collateral flow was measured with radioactive microspheres, area at risk was assessed with monastral blue dye, and infarct size was measured postmortem by triphenyltetrazolium chloride. In vitro, all three MAb bound to canine PMNs, but only MHM.23 and R15.7 inhibited their adherence to keyhole limpet hemocyanin-coated plastic. In vivo, only MHM.23 and R15.7 significantly reduced infarct size after adjusting for the effect of collateral flow. MHM.23 afforded protection in dogs with moderate ischemia (epicardial collateral flow > 0.1 ml.min-1.g-1, infarct size reduced 46%) but not in dogs with more severe ischemia. Only R15.7 was effective in dogs with severe ischemia. Although MHM.23 and R15.7 produced similar inhibition of tissue PMN accumulation, as reflected by myeloperoxidase activity. R15.7 markedly inhibited H2O2 production by PMNs after exposure to platelet-activating factor, whereas MHM.23 had only a minimal effect. The effectiveness of different anti-CD18 MAb in preventing reperfusion injury appears to be 1) highly dependent on the specific anti-CD18 MAb employed, 2) predicted only partially by in vitro binding to PMNs, static in vitro tests of PMN adherence, or the extent of inhibition of PMN accumulation in vivo, 3) related more to their ability to inhibit oxidant release from activated PMNs, and 4) strongly influenced by the severity of myocardial ischemia before reperfusion.

We aimed to search the effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned media on in vitro fertilization by investigation of lifetime of germ cells cleavage, degeneration rates and embryo quality. For this purpose, firstly MSCs were isolated from femurs and tibias of the rat, and cells were cultured until the fourth passage. Sperm and oocytes were collected from male and female rats. Oocytes were added in Human Tubal Fluid Media (HTFM), Single Step Media (SSM), Alpha-MEM Media (AMM) and Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Conditioned Media (CM). Thousand sperm were added into the media which including oocytes. Embryos were allowed to produce by IVF. The development of the embryos was followed until the 11th day, and the arrest, degeneration rates and alive embryos were established. The embryos reached 2, 4, 8, 16 cells stages and morula stage in the CM. While AMM had a negative effect on fertilization and embryo development, the most favourable effect was shown to be caused by CM in comparison with the other medias. These results have shown that the beneficial effects of CM in IVF would be a significant increase in the rate of fertility and development of embryos.
