  abstract  = {Osteoporosis, or steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the hip, is accompanied by increased bone marrow adipogenesis. Such a disorder of adipogenic/osteogenic differentiation, affecting bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), contributes to bone loss during aging. Here, we investigated the effects of extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from human (h)BMSCs during different stages of osteogenic differentiation on the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation capacity of na{\"i}ve (undifferentiated) hBMSCs. We observed that all EV groups increased viability and proliferation capacity and suppressed the apoptosis of na{\"i}ve hBMSCs. In particular, EVs derived from hBMSCs at late-stage osteogenic differentiation promoted the osteogenic potential of na{\"i}ve hBMSCs more effectively than EVs derived from na{\"i}ve hBMSCs (na{\"i}ve EVs), as indicated by the increased gene expression of COL1A1 and OPN. In contrast, the adipogenic differentiation capacity of na{\"i}ve hBMSCs was inhibited by treatment with EVs from osteogenic differentiated hBMSCs. Proteomic analysis revealed that osteogenic EVs and na{\"i}ve EVs contained distinct protein profiles, with pro-osteogenic and anti-adipogenic proteins encapsulated in osteogenic EVs. We speculate that osteogenic EVs could serve as an intercellular communication system between bone- and bone-marrow adipose tissue, for transporting osteogenic factors and thus favoring pro-osteogenic processes. Our data may support the theory of an endocrine circuit with the skeleton functioning as a ductless gland.},

  abstract  = {The ability to differentiate into mesenchymal lineages, as well as immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and angiogenic properties give ASCs great therapeutic potential. Through their culture as multicellular, three-dimensional spheroids this potential can even be enhanced. Accordingly, 3D spheroids are not only promising candidates for the application in regenerative medicine and inflammatory disease therapy, but also for the use as building blocks in tissue engineering approaches. Due to the resemblance to physiological cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, 3D spheroids gain higher similarity to real tissues, what makes them a valuable tool in the development of bioactive constructs equivalent to native tissues in terms of its cellular and extracellular structure. Especially, to overcome the still tremendous clinical need for adequate implants to repair soft tissue defects, 3D spheroids consisting of ASCs are a promising approach in adipose tissue engineering. Nevertheless, studies on the use of ASC-based spheroids as building blocks for fat tissue reconstruction have so far been very rare. In order to optimally exploit their therapeutic potential to further their use in regenerative medicine, including adipose tissue engineering approaches, a 3D spheroid model consisting of ASCs was characterized extensively in this work. This included not only the elucidation of the structural features, but also the differentiation capacity, gene expression, and secretory properties. In addition, the elucidation of underlying mechanisms contributing to the improved therapeutic efficiency was addressed.},
