Background And Purpose: This study was conducted to determine whether a secretome from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) modulated by hypoxic conditions to contain therapeutic factors contributes to salivary gland (SG) tissue remodeling and has the potential to improve irradiation (IR)-induced salivary hypofunction in a mouse model.

Materials And Methods: Human adipose mesenchymal stem cells (hAdMSC) were isolated, expanded, and exposed to hypoxic conditions (O2 < 5%). The hypoxia-conditioned medium was then filtered to a high molecular weight fraction and prepared as a hAdMSC secretome. The hAdMSC secretome was subsequently infused into the tail vein of C3H mice immediately after local IR once a day for seven consecutive days. The control group received equal volume (500 μL) of vehicle (PBS) only. SG function and structural tissue remodeling by the hAdMSC secretome were investigated. Human parotid epithelial cells (HPEC) were obtained, expanded in vitro, and then irradiated and treated with either the hypoxia-conditioned medium or a normoxic control medium. Cell proliferation and IR-induced cell death were examined to determine the mechanism by which the hAdMSC secretome exerted its effects.

Results: The conditioned hAdMSC secretome contained high levels of GM-CSF, VEGF, IL-6, and IGF-1. Repeated systemic infusion with the hAdMSC secretome resulted in improved salivation capacity and increased levels of salivary proteins, including amylase and EGF, relative to the PBS group. The microscopic structural integrity of SG was maintained and salivary epithelial (AQP-5), endothelial (CD31), myoepithelial (α-SMA) and SG progenitor cells (c-Kit) were successfully protected from radiation damage and remodeled. The hAdMSC secretome strongly induced proliferation of HPEC and led to a significant decrease in cell death in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, the anti-apoptotic effects of the hAdMSC secretome were found to be promoted after hypoxia-preconditioning relative to normoxia-cultured hAdMSC secretome.

Conclusion: These results show that the hAdMSC secretome from hypoxic-conditioned medium may provide radioprotection and tissue remodeling via release of paracrine mediators.

Therapeutic applications involving mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) encounter challenges of attaining therapeutically potent and scaled up number during in-vitro batch culture. Recently, photobiomodulation (PBM) has emerged as a non-pharmacological method for enhancing MSC number, potency, and secretome production. However, the absence of a versatile, non-invasive technique to accurately identify PBM-induced biochemical alterations hinders the clinical translation of the approach.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells' secretome can induce a pro-inflammatory phenotype in human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSC). This can be prevented by the green tea polyphenol epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). The impact of EGCG on the paracrine regulation that the extracellular vesicles (EVs) specifically exert within the TNBC secretome remains unknown.

Islet transplantation offers improved glycemic control in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, in vitro islet culture is associated with islet apoptosis and eventually will lose their functionality prior to transplantation. In this study, we examined the effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) secretome preconditioned with diazoxide (DZ) and trimetazidine (TMZ) on rat islet cells during pre-transplant culture.

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), are driven by neuroinflammation triggered by activated microglial cells; hence, the phenotypic regulation of these cells is an appealing target for intervention. Human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAD-MSCs) may be a potential therapeutic candidate to treat NDs given their immunomodulatory properties. Evidence suggests that the mechanism of action of hAD-MSCs is through their secretome, which includes secreted factors such as cytokines, chemokines, or growth factors as well as extracellular vesicles (EVs).

With respect to the persistent hunt for a cytocompatible, translational, reproducible, and effective approach in engineering primary human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hADMSCs), we demonstrate the application of Neon Transfection System in adequate transient delivery of angiogenic factors. The study presents functional assessment of this approach in vitro, with two notable outcomes at translational perspective; (1) Bioengineered hADMSCs secretome does induce endothelial lineage commitment of stem cells at both transcriptional and translational levels and (2) Combinatorial delivery of vascular endothelial growth factor A and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α by bioengineered hADMSCs enhance upregulation of endothelial cell proliferation, migration-associated wound closure, and endothelial tube formation with augmented Flk-1 expression, as compared with their independent actions. The methods described in this study paves way for in vivo evaluation on identification of appropriate chronic wound models and subsequently for clinical translation.
