Regulatory Effects of Senescent Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Endotheliocyte Reaction.

Currently, there is a growing focus on aging and age-related diseases. The processes of aging are based on cell senescence, which results in changes in intercellular communications and pathological alterations in tissues. In the present study, we investigate the influence of senescent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on endothelial cells (ECs).

Senescence-Associated Alterations in Matrisome of Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

The process of aging is intimately linked to alterations at the tissue and cellular levels. Currently, the role of senescent cells in the tissue microenvironment is still being investigated. Despite common characteristics, different cell populations undergo distinctive morphofunctional changes during senescence.

Secretome of Senescent Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Negatively Regulates Angiogenesis.

Nowadays, paracrine regulation is considered as a major tool of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) involvement in tissue repair and renewal in adults. Aging results in alteration of tissue homeostasis including neovascularization. In this study, we examined the influence of replicative senescence on the angiogenic potential of adipose-derived MSCs (ASCs).

Reciprocal modulation of cell functions upon direct interaction of adipose mesenchymal stromal and activated immune cells.

The interaction of adipose mesenchymal stromal cells (ASCs) and allogeneic peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) is regulated either through direct or paracrine mechanisms. Here, we examined the impact of direct contact in reciprocal regulation of ASC-PBMC functions. Activated PBMCs in vitro induced ASC immunomodulatory activity, while direct and paracrine intercellular interactions regulated PBMCs themselves: the functional state of the organelles was altered, and activation decreased.
