We investigated the effects of a human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium (MSC-CM)/chitosan/collagen/β-glycerophosphate (β-GP) thermosensitive hydrogel (MSC-CM/hydrogel) on mice with third-degree burns. MSC-CM was collected and mixed with chitosan, collagen, and β-GP to generate the thermosensitive MSC-CM/hydrogel, which was stored in the liquid phase at 4°C. The wounds of established third-degree burned mice were then externally covered with the MSC-CM/hydrogel, which formed a gel when placed on the wounds at physiological temperature. Injured mice in three additional groups were treated with unconditioned MSC medium (UM), MSC-CM, or UM/chitosan/collagen/β-GP thermosensitive hydrogels. Skin wound samples were obtained 4, 14, and 28 days after burning for further analysis by hematoxylin and eosin and Ki-67 staining. Wound healing rates and times, in addition to immunohistochemical results, were then compared and analyzed among the four groups. Application of the MSC-CM/hydrogel shortened healing time, limited the area of inflammation, enhanced reepithelialization, promoted the formation of high-quality, well-vascularized granulation tissue, and attenuated the formation of fibrotic and hypertrophic scar tissue. In summary, MSC-CM/hydrogel effectively promotes wound healing in third-degree burned mice.

Burn wound treatment is difficult and one of the most challenging problems in the clinic. Researchers have examined the applications of mesenchymal stem cells as a cell-based therapy for skin regeneration. But the role of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium (hBM-MSC-CM) in the treatment of burn injury remains unclear. This research aims at detecting whether hBM-MSC-CM can increase the wound healing of deep second-degree burns in male rats. In this study, 32 adult male rats per each time point were randomly divided into four groups: (1) control group, (2) sham group (DMEM), (3) common treatment group (CT), and (4) conditioned media group (CM). A 3 × 3 cm circular burn was created on the back of the rats. On postsurgical days 7, 15, and 28, the wound closure area of each wound was measured and then the skin samples were removed and analyzed using stereological methods. Wound closure area was significantly increased in the CM and CT groups on the 15th and the 28th day after burn injury compared to the control and DMEM groups. The stereological parameters and immunohistochemistry analysis of the wounds revealed significantly improved healing in the CM group compared to the control and other groups. It is concluded that these findings indicate that hBM-MSC-CM promotes skin wound healing by increasing cell proliferation, regulating collagen synthesis and collagen composition, and inducing angiogenesis at the injury site.

The study elucidated the wound healing and hair regeneration properties of a conditioned medium prepared from the culture of human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (HFMSCs). The wound-healing effects of mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium (MSC-CM) were tested in vitro using scratch assays co-cultured with HaCaT keratinocyte and monitored through optical microscopy. The cell proliferation of HFMSCs and the HaCaT keratinocyte were observed in the presence of different kinds of drugs including UK5099, sodium L-lactate, lactate dehydrogenase-A, MSC-CM, caffeine, and caffeic acid. The hair regeneration properties were investigated in vivo by administrating the MSC-CM solutions to adult B6 mouse models. For quantification, hematoxylin and eosin staining were performed following euthanasia. In vitro results revealed that MSC-CM promotes dermal cell migrations and enhances proliferation of HFMSCs and HaCaT keratinocytes, demonstrating wound-healing properties. Moreover, when the MSC-CM solutions were applied to the shaved mouse skin, a dark area that expanded overtime was seen. Although no hair growth was found, histological analysis proved that a fat layer thickness increment was found under the mouse’s skin, ultimately projecting the formation of new hair growth. MSC-CM promotes the migration and proliferation of dermal keratinocytes that are beneficial for wound healing and hair growth. It is believed that MSC-CM can potentially serve as the basis of alternative therapeutic applications for wound closure and skin regeneration as well as hair growth stimulation and hair loss prevention in alopecia.

Recent studies have shown that the hydrogels formed by composite biomaterials are better choice than hydrogels formed by single biomaterial for tissue repair. We explored the feasibility of the composite hydrogel formed by silk fibroin (SF) and silk sericin (SS) in tissue repair for the excellent mechanical properties of SF, and cell adhesion and biocompatible properties of SS. In our study, the SF SS hydrogel was formed by SF and SS protein with separate extraction method (LiBr dissolution for SF and hot alkaline water dissolution for SS), while SF-SS hydrogel was formed by SF and SS protein using simultaneous extraction method (LiBr dissolution for SF and SS protein). The effects of the two composite hydrogels on the release of inflammatory cytokines from macrophages and the wound were analyzed. Moreover, two hydrogels were used to encapsulate and deliver human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell derived exosomes (UMSC-Exo). Both SF SS and SF-SS hydrogels promoted wound healing, angiogenesis, and reduced inflammation and TNF-α secretion by macrophages. These beneficial effects were more significant in the experimental group treated by UMSC-Exo encapsulated in SF-SS hydrogel. Our study found that SF-SS hydrogel could be used as an excellent alternative to deliver exosomes for tissue repair.

Abstract Chemotherapeutic agents are extensively used to treat malignancies. However, chemotherapy-induced ovarian damage and reduced fertility are severe side effects. Recently, stem cell transplantation has been reported to be an effective strategy for premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) treatment, but safety can still be an issue in stem cell-based therapy. Here, we show the protective effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived conditioned medium (hUCMSC-CM) on a cisplatin (Cs)-induced ovarian injury model. hUCMSC-CM can relieve Cs-induced depletion of follicles and preserve fertility. In addition, hUCMSC-CM can decrease apoptosis of oocytes and granulosa cells induced by Cs. RNA sequencing analysis reveals the differentially expressed genes of ovaries after Cs and hUCMSC-CM treatments, including genes involved in cell apoptosis. Furthermore, we show that the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway plays an important role in protecting granulosa cells from Cs-induced apoptosis. Together, we confirm the protective effects of hUCMSC-CM on ovarian reserve and fertility in mice treated with Cs, highlighting the remarkable therapeutic effects of hUCMSC-CM.
