To investigate the mechanism of recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF-BB) and human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) in the treatment of Achilles tendinitis. Biomechanical indices of stiffness, stress, and maximum load-to-failure were detected by biomechanical test. mRNA and protein levels of miR-363, p-PI3K/AKT, tendon-related genes Collagen I, Scleraxis (Scx), and Tenascin C (TNC) were measured by qRT-PCR and western blot. The proliferation of hADSCs was accessed by MTT assay. Biomechanical indices of stiffness, stress, and maximum load-to-failure, and mRNA and protein levels of tendon-related genes could be improved by rhPDGF-BB or hADSCs alone, and could be further improved by rhPDGF-BB + hADSCs. rhPDGF-BB and hADSCs downregulated the expression of miR-363 and upregulated the levels of p-PI3K/Akt, and rhPDGF-BB + hADSCs further strengthened these effects. In addition, rhPDGF-BB promoted the proliferation of hADSCs in vitro and upregulated the expression of tendon-related genes. miR-363 mimic downregulated the levels of p-PI3K/Akt, miR-363 inhibitor upregulated the levels of p-PI3K/Akt, and miR-363 mimic and PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitor LY294002 reversed the positive effect of rhPDGF-BB on the proliferation of hADSCs, which suggested that rhPDGF-BB promoted the proliferation of hADSCs via miR-363/PI3K/Akt pathway. Biomechanical indices and tendon-related genes could be improved by rhPDGF-BB and hADSCs. Moreover, rhPDGF-BB promoted the proliferation of hADSCs via miR-363/PI3K/Akt pathway, indicating that rhPDGF-BB combined with ADSCs could treat Achilles tendinitis via miR-363/PI3K/Akt pathway.

The selection of appropriate cell sources is vital for the regeneration and repair of tendons using stem cell-based approaches. Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for tendon injuries. However, the heterogeneity of hADSCs can lead to inconsistent or suboptimal therapeutic outcomes.

Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels are used for stem cell encapsulation in bone tissue engineering due to their fast and stable photo-crosslinking. However, cell viability and ability to induce osteogenesis are reduced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during the crosslinking reaction. In this study, we developed biomimetic nanoparticles (TMNs) by combining tannic acid (TA) and simulated body fluid (SBF) minerals, and used them to synthesize GelMA-based composite hydrogels for addressing those limitations.

Background: Pressure ulcer is common in the bedridden elderly with high mortality and lack of effective treatment. In this study, human-adipose-derived-stem-cells-hyaluronic acid gel (hADSCs-HA gel) was developed and applied topically to treat pressure ulcers, of which efficacy and paracrine mechanisms were investigated through in vivo and in vitro experiments.
Methods: Pressure ulcers were established on the backs of C57BL/6 mice and treated topically with hADSCs-HA gel, hADSCs, hyaluronic acid, and normal saline respectively.

Exosomes from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been demonstrated to benefit angiogenesis, wound healing, and fat grafting. Small noncoding RNAs such as microRNA (miRNA) and circular RNA play critical roles in mediating the function of ADSCs-derived exosomes. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated.
