Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are potentially efficacious in treating recurrent pregnancy disorders and endometrial injury. Uterine parenchymal cells interact with BMSCs to promote functional recovery. Our research aimed to explore the effect of BMSCs-derived miR-31 on recurrent pregnancy loss. A recurrent pregnancy loss mouse model was constructed followed by nanoparticle analysis of BMSC and miR-31 expressing by RT-PCR. The levels of miR-31 in BMSCs (miR-31+BMSCs or BMSCs) and their counterpart exosomes were up- or down-regulated to explore the effects of aberrant expression of miR-31 on endometrial damage in recurrent pregnancy loss. The analysis of BMSC nanoparticles showed that miR-31 was derived from BMSC. We found increased levels of miR-31 in miR-340 + BMSCs after incubation with endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) compared to controls. Labeling of exosomes by red fluorescent protein indicated that exosomes were liberated out of BMSCs and translocated into neighboring ESCs, and mice treated with miR-340 + BMSCs had improved functional recovery from recurrent pregnancy loss. BMSC-derived miR-31 mediates functional recovery induced in recurrent pregnancy miscarriage mice by regulating KISS1 expression and fibrosis gene expression.

Abstract Background Recent studies demonstrated that autologous mitochondria derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) might be valuable in the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the mechanisms of mitochondrial transfer from BMSCs to injured neurons are not fully understood. Methods We modified BMSCs by CD157, a cell surface molecule as a potential regulator mitochondria transfer, then transplanted to SCI rats and co-cultured with OGD injured VSC4.1 motor neuron. We detected extracellular mitochondrial particles derived from BMSCs by transmission electron microscope and measured the CD157/cyclic ADP-ribose signaling pathway-related protein expression by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting assay. The CD157 ADPR-cyclase activity and Fluo-4 AM was used to detect the Ca2+ signal. All data were expressed as mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis was analyzed by GraphPad Prism 6 software. Unpaired t-test was used for the analysis of two groups. Multiple comparisons were evaluated by one-way ANOVA or two-way ANOVA. Results CD157 on BMSCs was upregulated when co-cultured with injured VSC4.1 motor neurons. Upregulation of CD157 on BMSCs could raise the transfer extracellular mitochondria particles to VSC4.1 motor neurons, gradually regenerate the axon of VSC4.1 motor neuron and reduce the cell apoptosis. Transplantation of CD157-modified BMSCs at the injured sites could significantly improve the functional recovery, axon regeneration, and neuron apoptosis in SCI rats. The level of Ca2+ in CD157-modified BMSCs dramatically increased when objected to high concentration cADPR, ATP content, and MMP of BMSCs also increased. Conclusion The present results suggested that CD157 can regulate the production and transfer of BMSC-derived extracellular mitochondrial particles, enriching the mechanism of the extracellular mitochondrial transfer in BMSCs transplantation and providing a novel strategy to improve the stem cell treatment on SCI.

Cell therapy is the most advanced treatment of the cerebral ischemia, nowadays. Herein, we discuss the neuroprotective effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on rat hippocampal cells following intravenous injection of these cells in an ischemia-reperfusion model. Adult male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups: control, sham (surgery without blockage of common carotid arteries), ischemia (common carotid arteries were blocked for 30 min prior to reperfusion), vehicle (7 days after ischemia PBS was injected via the tail vein), and treatment (injections of BMSC into the tail veins 7 days after ischemia). We performed neuromuscular and vestibulomotor function tests to assess behavioral function and, finally, brains were subjected to hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), anti-Brdu immunohistochemistry, and TUNEL staining. The ischemia group had severe apoptosis. The group treated with BMSCs had a lower mortality rate and also had significant improvement in functional recovery (P<0.001). Ischemia-reperfusion for 30 min causes damage and extensive neuronal death in the hippocampus, especially in CA1 and CA3 regions, leading to several functional and neurological deficits. In conclusion, intravenous injection of BMSCs can significantly decrease the number of apoptotic neurons and significantly improve functional recovery, which may be a beneficial treatment method for ischemic injuries.

SummaryObjective: The aim of this study was to track the survival and efficacy of allogeneic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) marked with red fluorescent protein (BMMSCRFP) in an ovine model of collagenase-induced tendinopathy.Methods: Bone marrow was harvested from one donor sheep and BM-MSC were isolated, cultivated and transfected with red fluorescent protein (BM-MSCRFP). Collagenase was injected into both Achilles tendons in the remaining nine sheep. After two weeks the left tendon was injected with a solution of 6 x 106 BM-MSCRFP and fibrin glue, while only fibrin glue was administered to the contralateral tendon in each sheep. After three, four and six weeks the tendons were harvested and evaluated for morphology, collagen I deposition, presence of CD34+ cells, and fluorescent labelled BM-MSC.Results: We demonstrated that delivery of BM-MSC into tendon lesions had positive effects on the injured tendons. The BM-MSCRFP survived at three, four and six weeks after treatment, leading to better quality healing of tendons as compared to the controls, where no labelled cells were detected. Interestingly, we demonstrated high expression of CD34+ cells in tendons that had been treated with BM-MSCRFP.Clinical relevance: Mesenchymal stem cell allografts have a positive effect on tendon healing and local injection of BM-MSC directly into the tendon allows the homing of BM-MSC for good efficiency of engraftment.

Objective: To establish composite culture system of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and self-assembling peptide hydrogel RADA16-І, and to investigate the effect of RADA16-І hydrogel on neural differentiation of BMSCs. Methods: BMSCs were isolated, cultivated and labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP), then they were inoculated on glass coverslips or in RADA16-І solution to form control group and RADA16-І group respectively. The morphological changes of BMSCs induced by neural induction medium were observed, and GFAP, NeuN and Map-2 expressions of BMSCs in each group were detected with immunofluorescence. Results: The induced BMSCs presented neuron-like change, and the rates of GFAP and NF-200 positive cells in RADA16-І group were higher than that in control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Self-assembling peptide RADA16-І hydrogel can promote neural differentiation of BMSCs, and which may be used as scaffold material on BMSCs transplantation for treatment of nervous system diseases.
