  abstract  = {The pro-inflammatory phase of bone healing, initiated by platelet activation and eventually hematoma formation, impacts bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in unknown ways. Here, we created platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hydrogels to study how platelet-derived factors modulate functional properties of encapsulated MSCs in comparison to a non-inflammatory fibrin (FBR) hydrogel environment. MSCs were isolated from human bone marrow, while PRP was collected from pooled apheresis thrombocyte concentrates and used for hydrogel preparation. After their encapsulation in hydrogels for 72 h, retrieved MSCs were analyzed for immunomodulatory activities, apoptosis, stem cell properties, senescence, CD9\(^+\), CD63\(^+\) and CD81\(^+\) extracellular vesicle (EV) release, and metabolism-related changes. PRP-hydrogels stimulated immunosuppressive functions of MSCs, along with their upregulated susceptibility to cell death in communication with PBMCs and augmented caspase 3/7 activity. We found impaired clonal growth and cell cycle progression, and more pronounced β-galactosidase activity as well as accumulation of LC3-II-positive vacuoles in PRP-MSCs. Stimuli derived from PRP-hydrogels upregulated AKT and reduced mTOR phosphorylation in MSCs, which suggests an initiation of survival-related processes. Our results showed that PRP-hydrogels might represent a metabolically stressful environment, inducing acidification of MSCs, reducing polarization of the mitochondrial membrane and increasing lipid accumulation. These features were not detected in FBR-MSCs, which showed reduced CD63\(^+\) and CD81\(^+\) EV production and maintained clonogenicity. Our data revealed that PRP-derived hematoma components cause metabolic adaptation of MSCs followed by increased immune regulatory functions. For the first time, we showed that PRP stimuli represent a survival challenge and "apoptotic priming" that are detrimental for stem cell-like growth of MSCs and important for their therapeutic consideration.},

  abstract  = {The fate and behavior of bone marrow mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (BM-MSC) is bidirectionally influenced by their microenvironment, the stem cell niche, where a magnitude of biochemical and physical cues communicate in an extremely orchestrated way. It is known that simplified 2D in vitro systems for BM-MSC culture do not represent their na{\"i}ve physiological environment. Here, we developed four different 2D cell-based decellularized matrices (dECM) and a 3D decellularized human trabecular-bone scaffold (dBone) to evaluate BM-MSC behavior. The obtained cell-derived matrices provided a reliable tool for cell shape-based analyses of typical features associated with osteogenic differentiation at high-throughput level. On the other hand, exploratory proteomics analysis identified native bone-specific proteins selectively expressed in dBone but not in dECM models. Together with its architectural complexity, the physico-chemical properties of dBone triggered the upregulation of stemness associated genes and niche-related protein expression, proving in vitro conservation of the na{\"i}ve features of BM-MSC.},

  abstract  = {The biology of vitamin D3 is well defined, as are the effects of its active metabolites on various cells, including mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs). However, the biological potential of its precursor, cholecalciferol (VD3), has not been sufficiently investigated, although its significance in regenerative medicine — mainly in combination with various biomaterial matrices — has been recognized. Given that VD3 preconditioning might also contribute to the improvement of cellular regenerative potential, the aim of this study was to investigate its effects on bone marrow (BM) MSC functions and the signaling pathways involved. For that purpose, the influence of VD3 on BM-MSCs obtained from young human donors was determined via MTT test, flow cytometric analysis, immunocytochemistry, and qRT-PCR. Our results revealed that VD3, following a 5-day treatment, stimulated proliferation, expression of pluripotency markers (NANOG, SOX2, and Oct4), and osteogenic differentiation potential in BM-MSCs, while it reduced their senescence. Moreover, increased sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression was detected upon treatment with VD3, which mediated VD3-promoted osteogenesis and, partially, the stemness features through NANOG and SOX2 upregulation. In contrast, the effects of VD3 on proliferation, Oct4 expression, and senescence were SIRT1-independent. Altogether, these data indicate that VD3 has strong potential to modulate BM-MSCs' features, partially through SIRT1 signaling, although the precise mechanisms merit further investigation.},

  abstract  = {The incidence of musculoskeletal diseases is steadily increasing with aging of the population. In the past years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained attention in musculoskeletal research. EVs have been associated with various musculoskeletal pathologies as well as suggested as treatment option. EVs play a pivotal role in communication between cells and their environment. Thereby, the EV cargo is highly dependent on their cellular origin. In this review, we summarize putative mechanisms by which EVs can contribute to musculoskeletal tissue homeostasis, regeneration and disease, in particular matrix remodeling and mineralization, pro-angiogenic effects and immunomodulatory activities. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) present the most frequently used cell source for EV generation for musculoskeletal applications, and herein we discuss how the MSC phenotype can influence the cargo and thus the regenerative potential of EVs. Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (iMPs) may overcome current limitations of MSCs, and iMP-derived EVs are discussed as an alternative strategy. In the last part of the article, we focus on therapeutic applications of EVs and discuss both practical considerations for EV production and the current state of EV-based therapies.},
