Background: Senescent cells exert a significant influence over their surrounding cellular environment. Senescent chondrocytes (SnChos) were found to be accumulated in degenerated cartilage present in joints affected by osteoarthritis. The influence of SnChos on exogenously transplanted stem cells has yet to be reported.

Methods: In this study, we evaluated the interactions between SnChos and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) when co-cultured as well as in the intra-articular senescent microenvironment (IASM). The effect of IASM on cartilage regeneration was also assessed.

Results: It was found that a small fraction of SnChos induced BMSC cellular senescence and apoptosis. SnChos also inhibited proliferation, facilitated stemness, and suppressed chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs. BMSCs induced the apoptosis of SnChos, reduced the proportion of SnChos, stimulated SnChos proliferation, and revealed a bidirectional effect on SnChos inflammaging. IASM significantly suppressed the survival, proliferation, and appropriate differentiation of grafted BMSCs in vivo, all of which impaired cartilage regeneration. Anti-senescence agent ABT-263 was able to partly rescue the cells from the negative effects of SnChos.

Conclusions: The SnChos and BMSCs interacted with each other at cellular senescence, apoptosis, proliferation, differentiation, and cell functions. This interaction impaired the cartilage repair of MSCs. Anti-senescence agent provided a possible solution for this impairment.

Articular cartilage has a limited regenerative capacity, resulting in poor spontaneous healing of damaged tissue. Despite various scientific efforts to enhance cartilage repair, no single method has yielded satisfactory results. With rising drug development costs, drug repositioning has emerged as a viable alternative.

Wood-Derived Hydrogels for Osteochondral Defect Repair.

Repairing cartilage tissue is a serious global challenge. Herein, we focus on wood skeletal structures that are highly porous for cell penetration yet have load-bearing strength, and aim to synthesize wood-derived hydrogels with the ability to regenerate cartilage tissues. The hydrogels were synthesized by wood delignification and the subsequent intercalation of citric acid (CA), which is involved in tricarboxylic acid cycles and essential for energy production, and -acetylglucosamine (NAG), which is a cartilage glycosaminoglycan, among cellulose microfibrils.

Biomimetic Proteoglycans for Intervertebral Disc (IVD) Regeneration.

Intervertebral disc degeneration, which leads to low back pain, is the most prevalent musculoskeletal condition worldwide, significantly impairing quality of life and imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens on affected individuals. A major impediment to the development of any prospective cell-driven recovery of functional properties in degenerate IVDs is the diminishing IVD cell numbers and viability with ageing which cannot sustain such a recovery process. However, if IVD proteoglycan levels, a major functional component, can be replenished through an orthobiological process which does not rely on cellular or nutritional input, then this may be an effective strategy for the re-attainment of IVD mechanical properties.

Musculoskeletal disorders are a series of diseases involving bone, muscle, cartilage, and tendon, mainly caused by chronic strain, degenerative changes, and structural damage due to trauma. The disorders limit the function of patients due to pain and significantly reduce their quality of life. In recent years, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells have been extensively applied in regeneration medicine research due to their particular abilities of self-renewal, differentiation, and targeted homing and are more easily accessed compared with other sources.
