Background: Aging is one of the key factors that regulate the function of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) and related changes in microRNA (miRNA) expression. However, data reported on aging-related miRNA changes in hBM-MSCs are limited.
Methods: We demonstrated previously that miR-10a is significantly decreased in aged hBM-MSCs and restoration of the miR-10a level attenuated cell senescence and increased the differentiation capacity of aged hBM-MSCs by repressing Krüpple-like factor 4 (KLF4). In the present study, miR-10a was overexpressed or KLF4 was downregulated in old hBM-MSCs by lentiviral transduction. The hypoxia-induced apoptosis, cell survival, and cell paracrine function of aged hBM-MSCs were investigated in vitro. In vivo, miR-10a-overexpressed or KLF4-downregulated old hBM-MSCs were implanted into infarcted mouse hearts after myocardial infarction (MI). The mouse cardiac function of cardiac angiogenesis was measured and cell survival of aged hBM-MSCs was investigated.
Results: Through lentivirus-mediated upregulation of miR-10a and downregulation of KLF4 in aged hBM-MSCs in vitro, we revealed that miR-10a decreased hypoxia-induced cell apoptosis and increased cell survival of aged hBM-MSCs by repressing the KLF4-BAX/BCL2 pathway. In vivo, transplantation of miR-10a-overexpressed aged hBM-MSCs promoted implanted stem cell survival and improved cardiac function after MI. Mechanistic studies revealed that overexpression of miR-10a in aged hBM-MSCs activated Akt and stimulated the expression of angiogenic factors, thus increasing angiogenesis in ischemic mouse hearts.
Conclusions: miR-10a rejuvenated aged hBM-MSCs which improved angiogenesis and cardiac function in injured mouse hearts.

Chemotherapy, particularly with oxaliplatin, is a key treatment for advanced gastric cancer (GC), and exosomes derived from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) play a vital role in the tumor microenvironment. The study aims to elucidate the previously unexplored role of exosomes derived from hBM-MSCs in GC tumorigenesis, especially under the influence of chemotherapy. We conducted an experimental study, utilizing miRNA sequencing and biological experiments, to analyze the tumorigenicity of exosomal miR-424-3p secreted by hBM-MSCs and its target gene RHOXF2 in GC cell lines.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine and metabolic disorder in reproductive-aged women, and it typically involves elevated androgen levels. Recently, it has been reported that human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) can regulate androgen synthesis pathways. However, the details of the mechanism are still unclear.

Cold physical plasma (CPP), a partially ionized gas that simultaneously generates reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, is suggested to provide advantages in regenerative medicine. Intraoperative CPP therapy targeting pathologies related to diminished bone quality could be promising in orthopedic surgery. Assessment of a clinically approved plasma jet regarding cellular effects on primary bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (hBM-MSCs) from relevant arthroplasty patient cohorts is needed to establish CPP-based therapeutic approaches for bone regeneration.

Angiogenesis is essential for vascular development. The roles of regulatory long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in mediating angiogenesis remain under-explored. Human embryonic stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hES-MSCs) are shown to exert more potent cardioprotective effects against cardiac ischemia than human bone marrow-derived MSCs (hBM-MSCs), associated with enhanced neovascularization.

To more closely mimic the knee joint environment, current in vitro models need improvements to reflect the complexity of the native tissue. High molecular weight hyaluronan (hMwt HA) is one of the most abundant bioactive macromolecules in healthy synovial fluid, while shear and dynamic compression are two joint-relevant mechanical forces.
