Objective: To obtain high expression of human hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in passaged rabbit bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) via recombinant adenovirus vector mediated HGF gene transfection, and explore the feasibility of this strategy for local treatment of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH).
Methods: HGF gene was subcloned into the adenovirus shuttle plasmid pDC316, and the products were co-transfected into HEK293 cells with the helper plasmid pBHGlox deltaE1,3Cre. The recombinant adenovirus Ad-HGF was generated by homologous recombination of the 2 plasmids in HEK293 cells. After PCR identification, Ad-HGF was amplified and purified and its titer measured by TCID50 assay before transfected into the second passage of rabbit BMSCs. The transcription and expression of HGF gene in the transfected BMSCs was detected by RT-PCR, in situ hybridization, and immunological histochemistry.
Results: Ad-HGF was successfully constructed with a titer of 2.6x10(10) TCID50/ml. The expressions of HGF mRNA and protein were confirmed in the transfected BMSCs.
Conclusion: Ad-HGF transfection allows efficient expression of HGF protein in rabbit BMSCs, and this success may facilitate further study of local treatment of ANFH using HGF-expressing BMSCs.

Gene therapy has emerged as a promising frontier in the management of diabetes, offering innovative approaches to address both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This narrative review examines the advancements in gene therapy applications, focusing on both animal and human studies, and includes a total of 11 studies in adherence to PRISMA guidelines. These studies utilize various viral vectors, such as adeno-associated virus (AAV) and lentivirus, to deliver genes that regulate insulin production and enhance angiogenesis.

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a substance that stimulates the proliferation of hepatocytes which promote healing. We developed a macrophage membrane-encapsulated nanosphere drug delivery system containing HGF for the study of burn wound healing. Twenty-seven Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: a saline control (NS) group, an engineered macrophage membrane-encapsulated nanospheres (ETMM@NPS) group, and an engineered macrophage membrane-encapsulated nanospheres treatment with HGF-loaded gene (HGF@ETMM@NPS) group.

Purpose: Previous studies have shown that long non-coding RNA GUSBP11 is abnormally expressed in patients with periodontitis, but the specific mechanism remains to be investigated. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of GUSBP11/miR-185-5p in chronic periodontitis (CP) and its potential mechanism, so as to provide a basis for elucidating the pathogenesis of CP.
Patients And Methods: The expression trends of GUSBP11 and miR-185-5p in gingival crevicular fluid of CP patients and control group were analyzed by RT-qPCR.

Nuclear growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) reduces the binding of the mothers' against decapentaplegic homolog (SMAD) complex to its DNA-binding elements. However, the stimuli that control this process are unknown. Here, we examined whether saturated fatty acids (FA), particularly palmitate, regulate nuclear GDF15 levels and the activation of the SMAD3 pathway in human skeletal myotubes and mouse skeletal muscle, where most insulin-stimulated glucose use occurs in the whole organism.

Introduction: Before performing cell therapy clinical trials, it is important to understand how cells are influenced by different growth conditions and to find optimal xeno-free medium formulations. In this study we have investigated the properties of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) cultured under xeno-free conditions.
Methods: Human lipoaspirate samples were digested to yield the stromal vascular fraction cells which were then seeded in i) Minimum Essential Medium-α (MEM-α) supplemented with 10 % (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS), ii) MEM-α supplemented with 2 % (v/v) human platelet lysate (PLT) or iii) PRIME-XV MSC expansion XSFM xeno-free, serum free medium (XV).
