The present study was performed to examine the effect of intra- articular injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and chondrogenic differentiated mesenchymal stem cells (CD- MSCs) on the repair of articular cartilage defects in rabbits. Twenty-five adult female baladi rabbits were used in this work. 5 rabbits were used for preparation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and their left knees were not subjected for the surgical procedure and used as normal control group. The remaining twenty rabbits were subjected for surgically induced cartilage defects in their left knees through a small medial parapatellar incision using bone curette. In the next day, the rabbits were divided into four groups: group I was not injected intraarticularly, group II injected intra-articularly by a single dose of saline, group III injected intra-articularly by a single dose of BM-MSCs and group IV injected intra-articularly by a single dose of CD-MSCs. After 8 weeks from the time of intra-articular injection. On time the rabbits were sacrificed and the entire knee joints were excised and examined. Groups I and II showed marked degenerative changes in their articular cartilage. The articular surface healed by fibrocartilage in group III, while in group IV the articular surface healed by hyaline cartilage. Treatment by CD-MSCs promotes a better healing effect on the articular cartilage defects of injured knee joints in rabbit’s model and has a remarkable superiority of repair than BM-MSCs. This can prevent the progress of cartilage defect into osteoarthritis which was a harmful disease.

Our study investigates whether miR-265 regulates the differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into alveolar type II epithelial cells (ATII) through TGF-β1 and promotes lung injury repair in rats with sepsis, thereby inhibiting sepsis progression. 25 patients with sepsis admitted to the Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine Department of the hospital and 17 normal controls were included. TGF-β1 level was measured by ELISA. miR-265 level was measured by qRT-PCR and AT II-related genes and proteins expression was analyzed by western blot and qRT-PCR. miR-265 expression was significantly higher in sepsis patients than normal group. Progenitor BMSCs were long and shuttle-shaped after 1 and 3 days of growth. Cultured MSCs had low expression of the negative antigen CD34 (4.32%) and high expression of the positive antigen CD44 (99.87%). TGF-β1 level was significantly increased with longer induction time, while miR-265 expression was significantly decreased in cell culture medium. miR-265 interference significantly decreased TGF-β1 expression. In conclusion, miR-265 inhibits BMSC differentiation to AT II via regulation of TGF-β1, thereby inhibiting sepsis progression.

Lactoferrin (LF) has demonstrated stimulation of osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in regulating the osteogenic differentiation processes. However, the impact of LF on lncRNA expression in MSC osteogenic differentiation is poorly understood. Our aim was to investigate the effects of LF on lncRNAs expression profiles, during osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs), by RNA sequencing. A total number of 1331 putative lncRNAs were identified in rBMSCs during osteogenic differentiation in the study. LF influenced the expression of 120 lncRNAs (differentially expressed lncRNAs [DELs], Fold change > 1.5 or < −1.5; p < 0.05) in rBMSCs on day 14 of osteogenic differentiation, consisted of 60 upregulated and 60 down-regulated. Furthermore, the potential functions of DELs were of prediction by searching their target cis- and trans-regulated protein-coding genes. The bioinformatic analysis of DELs target gene revealed that LF led to the disfunction of transforming growth factor beta stimulus (TGF-β) and positive regulation of I-κappa B kinase/NF-κappa B signaling pathway, which may relate to osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs. Our work is the first profiling of lncRNA in osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs induced by LF, and provides valuable insights into the potential mechanisms for LF promoting osteogenic activity.

A csontvelőből származó mesenchymalis őssejtek pluripotensek, s képesek porc, csont, valamint adiposus és ínsejtekké differenciálódni. Ezen mesenchymalis progenitor sejteket stromasejteknek vagy mesenchymalis őssejteknek nevezik. A csontvelőben két fő sejttípus van: haematopoeticus sejt és stromasejt. Mesenchymalis őssejtek kis beavatkozással nyerhetők a csontvelőből, majd sejtkultúrában szaporíthatóak. Differenciálódásuk bioaktív molekulákkal, specifikus növekedési faktorokkal segíthető elő. A transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) család tagjai proteinek, közülük a bone morphogenetic proteinek (BMP) a legfontosabb faktorok, amelyek elősegítik a mesenchymalis őssejtek porc- és csontszövetté történő differenciálódását. Kevésbé ismert még ezen sejteknek a tenogenesisben való szerepe, de már vannak biztató adatok e téren is. A mesenchymalis őssejteknek és növekedési faktoroknak a sérült szövetekbe való juttatásra vivő vázanyagra (carrier, scaffold) van szükség. Mesenchymalis őssejtek használhatók fel génterápiára és a tissue engineering alkalmazására. A szerzők jelen munkájukban áttekintik a mesenchymalis őssejtek, biomolekulák és növekedési faktorok szövetpótlás céljából történő használatával foglalkozó kísérletes vizsgálatok eddigi eredményeit és ismertetik a klinikai alkalmazás lehetőségeit.
