Objective: The objective was to evaluate the expression levels of CD31CD54 and CD31CD105 endothelial microparticles (EMPs) before and after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment of Kawasaki disease (KD). To explore the role of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs) in inhibiting endothelial inflammation in KD, the effects of hucMSCs on the expression of CD54 and CD105 in endothelial cells in KD were analyzed in vivo and in vitro.
Methods: The concentrations of IL-1β and VEGF in the peripheral blood of KD or healthy children were detected, and the distributions of CD31CD54 and CD31CD105 EMPs in platelet-poor plasma (PPP) were analyzed by flow cytometry. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were first cocultured with the patients' peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Next, HUVECs were cocultured with hucMSCs after stimulation with inactivated serum from patients. Cell proliferation and migration activities were assessed, and the expression of CD54, CD105 and IL-1β was analyzed. In an in vivo study, hucMSCs were transplanted into KD mice. The locations and expression levels of CD54, CD105 and IL-1β in the heart tissues of mice were analyzed.
Results: The levels of IL-1β and CD31CD54 EMPs were significantly higher before IVIG treatment and 2 weeks after treatment in KD patients (P < 0.01). However, the levels of VEGF and CD31CD105 EMPs increased significantly in KD only after IVIG treatment (P < 0.01). KD-inactivated serum stimulation combined with cocultivation of PBMCs can activate inflammation in HUVECs, leading to reduced cell proliferation and migration activities. Cocultivation also increased the expression of CD54 and decreased the expression of CD105 (P < 0.001). Cocultivation with hucMSCs can reverse these changes. Additionally, hucMSC transplantation downregulated the expression of IL-1β and CD54 and significantly upregulated the expression of CD105 in KD mice.
Conclusion: The expression levels of CD31CD54 and CD31CD105 EMPs showed inconsistent changes at different KD statuses, providing potential markers for clinical application. HucMSCs suppress inflammation and regulate the expression levels of CD54 and CD105 in vascular endothelial cells in KD, possibly providing a new basis for stem cell therapy for KD.

Influenza type A virus (IAV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality during influenza epidemics. Recently, a specific link between IAV infection and neurodegenerative disease progression has been established. The non-structural NS1 protein of IAV regulates viral replication during infection and antagonizes host antiviral responses, contributing to influenza virulence.

Cross-linked polymer blends from natural compounds, namely gelatin (Gel), chitosan (CS), and synthetic poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), have received increasing scrutiny because of their versatility, biocompatibility, and ease of use for tissue engineering. Previously, Gel/CS/PVA [1:1:1] hydrogel produced via the freeze-drying process presented enhanced mechanical properties. This study aimed to investigate the biocompatibility and chondrogenic potential of a steam-sterilized Gel/CS/PVA hydrogel using differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AD-hMSC) and cartilage marker expression.

Peritoneal mesenchymal stromal cells (pMSCs) are isolated from peritoneal dialysis (PD) effluent, and treatment with the pMSCs reduces peritoneal membrane injury in rat model of PD. This study was designed to verify the identity of the pMSCs. pMSCs were grown in plastic dishes for 4-7 passages, and their cell surface phenotype was examined by staining with a panel of 242 antibodies.

The interaction of natural killer (NK) and trophoblast cells underlies the formation of immune tolerance in the mother-fetus system and the maintenance of the physiological course of pregnancy. In addition, NK cells affect the function of trophoblast cells, interacting with them via the receptor apparatus and through the production of cytokines. Microvesicles (MVs) derived from NK cells are able to change the function of target cells.

Article Synopsis
- * This study focused on using expanded cartilage-derived and bone marrow-derived progenitor cell lines in a rodent model, finding that the cartilage-derived cells significantly improved meniscal healing and protected against cartilage degeneration.
- * The treatment with cartilage-derived progenitor cells did not lead to tumor formation or unintended cell growth, showing promise for safe and effective use in repairing knee injuries.
