AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates the impact of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on wound healing, focusing on the effects of dosing duration and delivery frequency.
  • The researchers developed high-quality, compliant MSC products that showed no tumor-related risks in trials and confirmed safe biodistribution through various analysis techniques.
  • The findings emphasize the importance of product quality control and optimal delivery strategies to enhance the effectiveness of MSC therapies in skin injury treatment.

Article Abstract

Background: Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are used as therapeutic agents for skin injury therapy, few studies have reported the effects of dosing duration and delivery frequency on wound healing. In addition, before the clinical application of MSCs, it is important to assess whether their usage might influence tumor occurrence.

Methods: We described the metabolic patterns of subcutaneous injection of hUC-MSCs using fluorescence tracing and qPCR methods and applied them to the development of drug delivery strategies for promoting wound healing.

Results: (i) We developed cGMP-compliant hUC-MSC products with critical quality control points for wound healing; (ii) The products did not possess any tumorigenic or tumor-promoting/inhibiting ability in vivo; (iii) Fluorescence tracing and qPCR analyses showed that the subcutaneous application of hUC-MSCs did not result in safety-relevant biodistribution or ectopic migration; (iv) Reinjecting hUC-MSCs after significant consumption significantly improved reepithelialization and dermal regeneration.

Conclusions: Our findings provided a reference for controlling the quality of MSC products used for wound healing and highlighted the importance of delivery time and frequency for designing in vivo therapeutic studies.

Chronic diabetic wounds present significant treatment challenges due to their complex microenvironment, often leading to suboptimal healing outcomes. Hydrogen sulfide (HS), a crucial gaseous signaling molecule, has shown great potential in modulating inflammation, oxidative stress and extracellular matrix remodeling, which are essential for effective wound healing. However, conventional HS delivery systems lack the adaptability required to meet the dynamic demands of different healing stages, thereby limiting their therapeutic efficacy.
