Dose optimization of intrathecal administration of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of subacute incomplete spinal cord injury

Ting-Ting Cao et al.

Summary: This study examined the effects of different doses of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) on spinal cord injury repair and found that the medium dose was equally effective as the high dose, while the low dose was less effective.

Neuroprotective Effects of Human Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells From Different Donors on Spinal Cord Injury in Mice

Xu Zhu et al.

Summary: Spinal cord injury (SCI) can lead to severe dysfunction of the lower limbs, and the inflammatory response plays a crucial role in its prognosis. Transplanting human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) can promote SCI repair by reducing inflammation. This study investigated the effects of hUCMSC transplantation on SCI mice and the underlying mechanisms, finding that the therapeutic effects of different hUCMSC lines were correlated with their ability to inhibit BV2 cell proliferation. The MSC_A line showed better improvement in motor function and reduced expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (Gfap) and ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1), while increasing the expression of neuronal nuclei (NeuN).

Summary: The study demonstrates that extracellular vesicles derived from melatonin-preconditioned mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to promote functional recovery after spinal cord injury by facilitating microglia/macrophages polarization from M1-like to M2-like state. This effect is mediated by the increased presence of ubiquitin-specific protease 29 (USP29) in the vesicles, which interacts with and stabilizes nuclear factor-like 2 (NRF2) to regulate microglia/macrophages polarization. Additionally, the study highlights the role of melatonin in reducing global N6-methyladenosine modification and levels of the m(6)A writer METTL3, enhancing the stability of USP29 mRNA in MSCs.

Summary: B-Exo promotes recovery of locomotor function and M2-phenotype polarization, inhibits neuronal apoptosis and degeneration, as well as the inflammatory response in rats with SCI. IRF5 expression is reduced after B-Exo treatment, and it promotes macrophage polarization towards M1 phenotype and secretion of inflammatory factors. There is a binding relationship between miR-125a and IRF5, with the knockdown of miR-125a in B-Exo leading to increased IRF5 expression and attenuation of the neuroprotective effect against SCI.

Summary: Intravenous infusion of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) leads to the release of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) that can target the injury site in spinal cord injury (SCI) rats and interact with M2 macrophages. Fractionated dosing of MSC-sEVs over 3 days is required to achieve therapeutic effects, mimicking the results of single MSC infusion. These findings suggest that the release of sEVs by MSCs over time induces a cascade of cellular responses leading to improved functional recovery.

Summary: This study demonstrates that EVs derived from ASCs can inhibit neuronal damage by delivering miR-26a, which targets KLF9 to regulate the TRAF2/KLF2 axis.
