Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of the extracellular vesicles derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on osteoarthritis via M2 macrophages

Kanglu Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells-derived extracellular vesicles (hUCMSCs-EVs) on osteoarthritis (OA). The results suggest that hUCMSCs-EVs promote the polarization of M2-type macrophages and the expression of IL-10, inhibit inflammation-associated factors in OA chondrocytes caused by IL-1 beta, and alleviate cartilage degradation during OA progression. The enriched miRNAs in hUCMSCs-EVs and the modulation of the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway may contribute to these therapeutic effects.

Jue Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUC-MSC) treatment in the recovery of bladder function after spinal cord injury (SCI). The results showed that hUC-MSCs could ameliorate SCI-induced pathological changes and bladder dysfunction, and this effect may be mediated through the repression of the p38 MAPK/NF-kappa B pathway.

Sodium alginate and naloxone loaded macrophage-derived nanovesicles for the treatment of spinal cord injury

Xiaoyao Liu et al.

Summary: The prepared nanovesicles (NAL-SA-MVs) can reduce the concentration of free Ca2+ at the site of spinal cord injury, inhibit inflammation, and protect neurons. In vivo and in vitro studies showed that NAL-SA-MVs could decrease inflammation, reduce neuronal apoptosis, and significantly improve motor function in mice. Therefore, NAL-SA-MVs have tremendous potential for the treatment of spinal cord injury.

Summary: This study found that transplanting peripheral blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PBMSCs) in spinal cord injury can shift the phenotype of inflammatory cells, inhibit neuroinflammation, and promote functional recovery. By changing the numbers of M1 and M2 microglia/macrophages and the expression of related cytokines, PBMSCs create an immune environment favorable for rehabilitation.

Summary: The study revealed that PBMSCs can promote the polarization of M2 macrophages by activating the IL-10/STAT3 pathway. This effect is achieved by inducing the expression of IL-10 and inhibiting IL-1β and TNF-α, accompanied by an increase in the M2 marker CD206 and a decrease in the M1 marker CD86.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Attenuate Acute Lung Injury in Mice Partly by Suppressing Alveolar Macrophage Activation in a PGE2-Dependent Manner

Gaojian Wang et al.

Summary: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) attenuate acute lung injury (ALI) by suppressing the activation of alveolar macrophages (AMs). The immunosuppressive effects of MSCs can be activated when co-cultured with inflammatory immune cells. RNA sequencing revealed 5268 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in MSCs before and after co-culturing with activated macrophages. The constructed signaling network identified Ptgs2 as an important gene involved in the immunosuppressive effects of MSCs.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomal microRNA-125a promotes M2 macrophage polarization in spinal cord injury by downregulating IRF5

Qing Chang et al.

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.
