Background

Mesenchymal stem cell-based therapy faces challenges that have driven interest in MSCs-derived culture-conditioned media (CCM) as a cell-free alternative. Our study aims to optimize the dose and collection timing of CCM to enhance its therapeutic efficacy in aGVHD, while also standardizing co-culture conditions for CD3+ T-cell interaction with CCM.

Material and methods

Human MSCs were isolated from BM and WJ and subsequently preconditioned under hypoxic conditions (1 % O2) for 24 h in a tri-gas incubator. Culture-conditioned media (CCM) were collected from both naive (MSCs) and hypoxia-preconditioned MSCs (MSCsHYP) at 24, 48, and 72 h and filtered using a 0.2 μm membrane filter. CD3+ T-cell were isolated from PBMNCs derived from aGVHD patients. These T-cell were co-cultured at varying densities (2∗106, 5∗106, and 10∗106 cells/ml) with different concentrations of CCM (25 %, 50 %, and 100 %), and cell proliferation was assessed using the MTS assay. Furthermore, CD3+ T-cell proliferation and activation status were evaluated in a 2D co-culture model of CD3+ T-cell and CCM using flow cytometry.

Results

Our findings revealed that CCM collected at 48 h, at a 50 % concentration, exerted the most pronounced inhibitory effect on CD3+ T-cell proliferation, particularly at a density of 5∗106 cells/ml, irrespective of the MSCs source. Hypoxia preconditioning significantly enhanced the immunomodulatory effects, with WJ-MSCsHYP-CCM demonstrating superior efficacy in suppressing T-cell proliferation, increasing the CD4+/CD8+ T-cell ratio, and reducing CD4+ T-cell activation compared to BM-MSCsHYP-CCM.

Conclusion

These results emphasize the critical role of optimizing CCM collection timing and concentration to maximize therapeutic potential. Our study paves the way for the development of standardized, scalable, and effective cell-free therapies for aGVHD.
基于间充质干细胞的治疗面临着挑战,人们对间充质干细胞衍生的培养条件培养基(CCM)作为一种无细胞替代疗法产生了兴趣。我们的研究旨在优化CCM的剂量和采集时间,以提高其对aGVHD的治疗效果,同时规范CCM与CD3+ t细胞相互作用的共培养条件。材料和方法从BM和WJ中分离出人间充质干细胞,随后在三气培养箱中缺氧条件(1% O2)预处理24小时。培养条件培养基(CCM)分别于24、48和72 h从未处理(MSCs)和缺氧预处理的MSCs (MSCsHYP)中收集,并使用0.2 μm膜过滤器过滤。从aGVHD患者的pbmnc中分离CD3+ t细胞。这些t细胞以不同密度(2∗106,5∗106和10∗106细胞/ml)与不同浓度的CCM(25%, 50%和100%)共培养,并使用MTS法评估细胞增殖。此外,在CD3+ t细胞和CCM的二维共培养模型中,使用流式细胞术评估CD3+ t细胞的增殖和激活状态。我们的研究结果显示,无论MSCs来源如何,在48小时收集的CCM以50%的浓度对CD3+ t细胞增殖具有最明显的抑制作用,特别是当密度为5∗106个细胞/ml时。低氧预处理显著增强免疫调节作用,WJ-MSCsHYP-CCM在抑制t细胞增殖、提高CD4+/CD8+ t细胞比例、降低CD4+ t细胞活化方面优于BM-MSCsHYP-CCM。结论优化CCM的采集时机和浓度对发挥治疗潜力至关重要。我们的研究为开发标准化、可扩展和有效的aGVHD无细胞疗法铺平了道路。

Background

Skin wound healing exhibits complex spatiotemporal heterogeneity that challenges traditional static assessment methods. Current artificial intelligence (AI) approaches often treat segmentation and temporal modeling as disconnected processes, limiting dynamic quantification of healing trajectories across distinct cell types. We aim to develop an integrated AI framework combining enhanced segmentation with temporal modeling for quantifying in vitro wound closure dynamics in normal epithelial (MCF10A) and tumor (MCF7) cells, and to compare algorithmic performance across healing phenotypes.

Methods

We implemented an enhanced UNet++ model for wound segmentation in time-lapse images, benchmarked against Otsu thresholding. Temporal closure trajectories were modeled using polynomial regression, Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), and Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN). Performance was evaluated via Dice/IoU (segmentation) and MAE/R2 (temporal modeling).

Results

UNet++ achieved significantly higher segmentation accuracy than Otsu thresholding (Dice: p = 8.841 × 10−49; IoU: p = 3.931 × 10−47) with consistent temporal robustness across healing phases. For closure trajectory modeling, RF achieved superior accuracy for MCF7 (mean absolute error [MAE] = 0.48 %, R2 = 0.968) and MCF10A (MAE = 1.73 %, R2 = 0.872), excelling in capturing nonlinear phase transitions and plateau behaviors. TCN showed promise for abrupt changes in MCF7 (MAE = 1.67 %, R2 = 0.698) but failed for near-stationary MCF10A trends. Significant cell-type differences emerged, with RF providing the most interpretable predictions.

Conclusion

This integrated framework enables precise dynamic wound monitoring, holding clinical potential for chronic ulcer management and tumor margin surveillance, particularly through its ability to discern cell-type-specific healing phenotypes.
皮肤伤口愈合表现出复杂的时空异质性,这对传统的静态评估方法提出了挑战。目前的人工智能(AI)方法通常将分割和时间建模视为断开的过程,限制了不同细胞类型愈合轨迹的动态量化。我们的目标是开发一个集成的AI框架,将增强分割与时间建模相结合,用于定量正常上皮细胞(MCF10A)和肿瘤细胞(MCF7)的体外伤口愈合动力学,并比较不同愈合表型的算法性能。方法采用基于Otsu阈值的改进UNet++模型对延时图像进行伤口分割。时间闭合轨迹采用多项式回归、随机森林(RF)、支持向量回归(SVR)、自回归综合移动平均(ARIMA)和时间卷积网络(TCN)建模。通过Dice/IoU(分割)和MAE/R2(时间建模)评估性能。结果与Otsu阈值法(Dice: p = 8.841 × 10−49;IoU: p = 3.931 × 10−47)相比,tsunet+ +的分割准确率显著提高,且在各愈合阶段具有一致的时间稳健性。对于闭合轨迹建模,RF对MCF7(平均绝对误差[MAE] = 0.48%, R2 = 0.968)和MCF10A (MAE = 1.73%, R2 = 0.872)具有较高的精度,在捕获非线性相变和平台行为方面表现出色。TCN显示MCF7突变(MAE = 1.67%, R2 = 0.698),但MCF10A接近平稳趋势失败。出现了显著的细胞类型差异,RF提供了最可解释的预测。结论:该集成框架能够实现精确的动态伤口监测,具有慢性溃疡管理和肿瘤边缘监测的临床潜力,特别是通过其识别细胞类型特异性愈合表型的能力。

Background

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are promising candidates for numerous regenerative therapies. Still, clinical translation is complicated by the heterogeneity of MSCs and related shortcomings in preclinical research. Pooling MSCs from multiple donors is increasingly being advocated as an effective way to mitigate donor variability. However, it remains unclear whether the range of individual cell characteristics is equally reflected in pooled cultures, or if pooling rather leads to a homogenized cell population dominated by the fittest donor, which would lead to skewed results. This study investigates whether MSC pools are functionally representative for their respective donor MSCs and whether dominant donors emerge over time.

Methods

MSCs from nine human donors were categorized into low-, middle-, and high-fitness groups. Individual MSCs were then pooled according to their fitness groups, complemented by a mixed-fitness pool. Functional assays for proliferation, metabolic activity, differentiation, migration and senescence were performed to evaluate the pools versus the individual MSCs. Donor representation within pools was tracked using fluorescence microscopy and qPCR.

Results

The high-fitness pool, as well as its individual donor MSCs, displayed the most rapid proliferation and highest metabolic activity. However, while for proliferation, the pool data aligned well with the individual donor data, all other assays revealed discrepancies between the pooled cultures and individual donor cells. Interestingly, particularly the mixed fitness pool showed inferior metabolic activity and differentiation potential in comparison with the respective individual donor MSCs. Cell tracking showed that over one passage, even pools composed of donors with similar cell fitness became dominated by the donor with the highest cellular fitness.

Conclusions

The discrepancy between pooled and individual donor data emphasizes the importance of biological replicates to capture donor variation and ensure that MSC research reflects natural diversity.
间充质基质细胞(MSCs)是许多再生治疗的有希望的候选者。然而,由于间充质干细胞的异质性和临床前研究的相关缺陷,临床翻译变得复杂。越来越多的人提倡将来自多个供体的间充质干细胞集中起来,作为减少供体多样性的有效方法。然而,目前尚不清楚单个细胞特征的范围是否在混合培养中得到了同样的反映,或者混合培养是否导致了由最适合的供体主导的均匀细胞群,这将导致结果偏差。这项研究调查了MSC池是否在功能上代表了各自的供体MSC,以及是否随着时间的推移出现了主导供体。方法将9例人类供体的smscs分为低、中、高适应度组。然后根据其健身组对单个msc进行汇总,并辅以混合健身池。进行增殖、代谢活性、分化、迁移和衰老的功能分析,以评估池与单个MSCs的差异。使用荧光显微镜和qPCR追踪供体在池中的代表性。结果高适能池及其供体间充质干细胞增殖最快,代谢活性最高。然而,尽管对于增殖,池数据与个体供体数据很好地一致,但所有其他检测显示池培养和个体供体细胞之间存在差异。有趣的是,特别是混合健身池与各自的单个供体间充质干细胞相比,显示出较差的代谢活性和分化潜力。细胞追踪显示,经过一次传代,即使是由细胞适应度相似的供体组成的供体池也会被细胞适应度最高的供体所支配。结论集合供体和个体供体数据之间的差异强调了生物复制对捕获供体变异和确保MSC研究反映自然多样性的重要性。

Introduction

The nutrient requirements for culturing human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have been studied in relation to the development of chemically defined media. Most hPSC media contain FGF2, which is critical for hPSC growth and maintenance. Here, we investigated compounds that could substitute for FGF2 activity.

Methods

To identify compounds that can replace FGF2 and promote the proliferation of undifferentiated hPSCs, we screened our compound library using the hOCT4-EGFP reporter system and evaluated candidates using cell morphological analysis and OCT4 immunostaining as a marker of undifferentiated cells. We further evaluated the extent to which the selected compound can replace FGF2 through long-term culture (over 10 passages). We examined whether the compounds promote the reprogramming efficiency of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using mRNA reprogramming. We also analyzed which signaling pathways were activated by the compound using western blotting.

Results

We identified a new compound, NN15-017, which enables a reduced concentration of FGF2 in the medium by 5-fold and enhances the reprogramming efficiency of human induced PSCs by 2- to 3-fold. NN15-017 promoted the MAP/ERK signaling pathway downstream of FGF2 and may affect the Hippo-YAP signaling pathway in hPSCs.

Conclusions

NN15-017 reduces the requirement for FGF2, thereby providing novel and valuable benefits for the proliferation and generation of human induced PSCs.
培养人多能干细胞(hPSCs)的营养需求已经研究了与化学定义培养基的发展有关的问题。大多数hPSC培养基含有FGF2,它对hPSC的生长和维持至关重要。在这里,我们研究了可以替代FGF2活性的化合物。方法为了鉴定能够替代FGF2并促进未分化hPSCs增殖的化合物,我们使用hOCT4-EGFP报告系统筛选化合物库,并使用细胞形态学分析和OCT4免疫染色作为未分化细胞的标记来评估候选化合物。我们进一步评估了所选化合物通过长期培养(超过10传代)替代FGF2的程度。我们研究了这些化合物是否通过mRNA重编程促进体细胞向诱导多能干细胞(iPSCs)的重编程效率。我们还使用western blotting分析了哪些信号通路被化合物激活。结果我们发现了一种新的化合物NN15-017,它能使培养基中FGF2的浓度降低5倍,使人诱导的PSCs的重编程效率提高2- 3倍。NN15-017促进了FGF2下游的MAP/ERK信号通路,并可能影响hPSCs中的Hippo-YAP信号通路。结论snn15 -017降低了对FGF2的需求,从而为人诱导的PSCs的增殖和生成提供了新的有价值的益处。

Heart failure (HF) is a global epidemic with a rising burden on individuals and healthcare systems. Advanced HF is characterized by severe symptoms at rest and marked limitations in physical activity. Stem cell therapies potentially address the limitations of current conventional treatments by reversing damage to cardiac tissue via their unique capacity for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation.
This article summarized the mechanism of action and methods for each stem cell approach and provided a detailed summary of associated clinical trials focusing on efficacy, safety profiles, and future directions.
We conducted a systematic review with a comprehensive search from 2014 to 2024 using databases such as PubMed, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar. Articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected by abstract review and subsequent assessment of the full text.
This review analyzes 27 clinical trials investigating stem cell-based therapies for advanced HF across different clinical phases (Phases I, II, and III) conducted between 2014 and 2024. These approaches include adult stem cells (ASCs) such as cardiac stem cells (CSCs), cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs), cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs), unfractionated bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMMNCs), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) such as embryonic stem cells (ESCs, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
While the exact mechanisms through which stem cells exert their therapeutic effects in advanced HF remain under investigation, recent attention has shifted toward the paracrine signaling effects of injected cells. All approaches have demonstrated clinically acceptable safety profiles; however, their efficacy varies and has yet to be conclusively confirmed. MSC-based therapy is the most widely used among the different cell choices and has consistently exhibited promising outcomes. Although ESCs are promising for heart regeneration, their use is significantly limited by ethical issues that advancements in iPSCs may potentially address. With further efficacy validation, especially in phase III clinical trials, stem cell therapies hold promising potential for clinical application in advanced HF.
心力衰竭(HF)是一种全球性流行病,对个人和医疗保健系统造成的负担越来越大。晚期心衰的特点是休息时出现严重症状,身体活动明显受限。干细胞疗法通过其独特的自我更新和多谱系分化能力逆转心脏组织损伤,有可能解决当前常规治疗的局限性。本文总结了每种干细胞治疗方法的作用机制和方法,并提供了相关临床试验的详细总结,重点是疗效、安全性和未来发展方向。我们使用PubMed、SCOPUS和谷歌Scholar等数据库,对2014年至2024年的数据进行了系统回顾和全面检索。通过摘要审查和随后的全文评估来选择符合纳入标准的文章。本综述分析了2014年至2024年间进行的27项临床试验,这些试验研究了基于干细胞的治疗晚期心衰的不同临床阶段(I、II和III期)。这些方法包括成体干细胞(ASCs),如心脏干细胞(CSCs)、心球源性细胞(cdc)、心脏祖细胞(cpc)、未分离的骨髓源性单个核细胞(BMMNCs)、间充质干细胞(MSCs)和多能干细胞(PSCs),如胚胎干细胞(ESCs)、诱导多能干细胞(iPSCs)。虽然干细胞在晚期心衰中发挥治疗作用的确切机制仍在研究中,但最近的注意力已转向注射细胞的旁分泌信号作用。所有方法均具有临床可接受的安全性;然而,它们的功效各不相同,尚未得到最终证实。在不同的细胞选择中,以骨髓间质干细胞为基础的治疗是最广泛使用的,并且一直显示出有希望的结果。尽管ESCs在心脏再生方面很有前景,但它们的使用受到伦理问题的极大限制,而iPSCs的进步可能会解决这些问题。随着进一步的疗效验证,特别是在III期临床试验中,干细胞疗法在晚期心衰的临床应用中具有很大的潜力。

Introduction

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has attracted attention due to its potential to restore or enhance ovarian function. However, resources for evaluating the research trends of PRP in improving ovarian dysfunction are limited. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the relevant literature on PRP improving ovarian dysfunction, and explore the current research status, hotspots and frontiers in this field.

Methods

Studies on PRP improving ovarian dysfunction were retrieved from the Science Citation Index Extended (SCI-E) database of Web of Science (WOS). The research trends and characteristics were analyzed using visualization software such as VOSviewer, SCImago Graphica and CiteSpace.

Results

A total of 193 studies were identified. The USA, IRAN and CHINA were the most productive countries. The number of publications on PRP improving ovarian dysfunction has shown a significant upward trend since 2018. Papers published in the United States lead in terms of the number of publications, citation counts and H-index. Although the number of publications in Turkey is slightly lower than that in China, its H-index and average citations are higher than those in China. The strongest keyword is “stimulation”, and the keyword with the longest duration of an outbreak is “gonadotropins” (starting in 2010 and ending in 2018). The 5 largest co-citation clusters are as follows: menopause (#0), fertility preservation (#1), implantation failure (#3), preimplantation genetic testing (#4), stem cell therapy (#5).

Conclusions

Current research indicates that there is still great potential for the development of PRP in improving ovarian dysfunction. In the future, it is necessary to break through the current bottleneck, promote the transformation of PRP from a “potential intervention method” to a “clinical routine plan”, and provide safer and more effective treatment options for patients with decreased ovarian dysfunction and assisted reproduction.
富血小板血浆(PRP)因其具有恢复或增强卵巢功能的潜力而备受关注。然而,评估PRP在改善卵巢功能障碍方面的研究趋势的资源有限。本研究旨在对PRP改善卵巢功能障碍的相关文献进行文献计量学分析,探讨该领域的研究现状、热点和前沿。方法从Web of Science (WOS)的科学引文索引扩展(SCI-E)数据库中检索PRP改善卵巢功能障碍的研究。利用VOSviewer、SCImago Graphica、CiteSpace等可视化软件分析研究趋势和特点。结果共纳入193项研究。美国、伊朗和中国是产量最高的国家。自2018年以来,关于PRP改善卵巢功能障碍的出版物数量呈显著上升趋势。在美国发表的论文数量、被引次数和h指数均居世界前列。虽然土耳其的论文发表数量略低于中国,但其h指数和平均被引量均高于中国。最强的关键词是“刺激”,爆发持续时间最长的关键词是“促性腺激素”(从2010年开始到2018年结束)。5个最大的共被引集群如下:绝经(#0),生育能力保存(#1),植入失败(#3),植入前基因检测(#4),干细胞治疗(#5)。结论目前的研究表明,PRP在改善卵巢功能障碍方面仍有很大的发展潜力。未来需要突破目前的瓶颈,推动PRP从“潜在干预手段”向“临床常规方案”的转变,为卵巢功能减退、辅助生殖患者提供更安全、更有效的治疗选择。

Background

Alveolar regeneration represents a critical research direction in respiratory disease treatment. Despite the surge in studies following the COVID-19 pandemic, comprehensive bibliometric analysis to systematically evaluate global research trends and future directions remains lacking.

Methods

This study employed bibliometric methodology to analyze 1564 publications related to alveolar regeneration from 1974 to 2024 using the Web of Science Core Collection database. Data visualization and analysis were conducted using VOSviewer (version 1.6.19), CiteSpace (version 6.2.R3), and the biblioshiny R package.

Results

The analysis encompassed 68 countries, 1930 institutions, and 9150 researchers across 658 journals. The United States leads with 601 publications and 32,172 citations, with Harvard University as the most influential institution. The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine has the highest impact factor (19.3), while the American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology has the most co-citations (2,402). Edward E. Morrisey is the most prolific author, and C. E. Barkauskas has the highest co-citations. Keyword analysis revealed six major research clusters: stem cells and regenerative medicine, acute lung injury and fibrosis, COVID-19-related research, chronic lung disease repair, cellular behavior and molecular mechanisms, and post-pneumonectomy regeneration. Thematic mapping indicates future research should prioritize lung injury repair mechanisms, matrix environment in tissue regeneration, stem cell therapeutics, and immune regulation in lung injury repair.

Conclusion

This first comprehensive 50-year bibliometric analysis of alveolar regeneration reveals the evolutionary trend from basic mechanistic exploration toward clinical translational applications, providing important reference for researchers and funding agencies.

Background

Anastomotic leakage is a common and serious complication of esophageal reconstruction, and new methods are required for its prevention in clinical settings. We herein developed dry-preserved fibroblast cell sheets (dry sheets), which are easy to use and promote wound healing. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of transplanting allogeneic dry sheets in preventing anastomotic leakage in a rat esophageal reconstruction model.

Methods

Allogeneic dry sheets were prepared from the rat oral mucosa. A rat esophageal anastomosis model was created, and two dry sheets were applied to cover the anastomotic sites. Anastomotic leakage incidence, burst pressure, histological findings, and collagen contents were compared between the control and dry sheet groups postoperatively.

Results

The dry sheet group demonstrated a lower incidence of anastomotic leakage than the control group (control: 64 % vs. dry sheet: 28 % on day 3, control: 57 % vs. dry sheet: 29 % on day 5). Abscess scores at the esophageal anastomotic sites were also lower in the dry sheet group than in the control group on days 3 and 5. Burst pressure was significantly higher in the dry sheet group than in the control group on days 3 and 5. Collagen type I was significantly increased in the dry sheet group compared with that in the control group.

Conclusions

Allogeneic dry sheet application improved anastomotic leakage incidence and burst pressure, indicating the usefulness of these sheets in preventing esophageal anastomotic leakage.

Introduction

The activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is a central mechanism driving the progression of chronic cholestatic liver diseases (CCLD). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been increasingly recognized for their regulatory roles in various liver pathologies. This study aimed to identify specific miRNAs involved in the progression of CCLD and elucidate their underlying molecular mechanisms.

Methods

A bile duct ligation (BDL) mouse model was established to mimic cholestatic liver injury. Exosomes were isolated from mouse large cholangiocytes (MLE) and co-cultured with HSCs to investigate their functional effects. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was employed to assess the expression levels of fibrotic marker genes. Exosomal miRNA microarray assay was used to screen differentially expressed miRNAs. Furthermore, dual-luciferase reporter assays and RNA pull-down experiments were conducted to validate the interaction between miR-381-3p and its putative target gene, kinesin family member 6 (Klf6).

Results

The results confirmed the successful isolation of exosomes from MLE. Furthermore, exosomes derived from BDL-MLE were shown to promote the activation of HSCs and exacerbate hepatic fibrosis. Dicer knockout reduced the mRNA expression of key fibrotic markers. In addition, miR-381-3p was found to be upregulated both in BDL-MLE–derived exosomes and in HSCs treated with transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and BDL-MLE–exosomes. Mechanistic investigations identified Klf6 as a direct target gene of miR-381-3p. Rescue experiments further revealed that overexpression of Klf6 alleviated the pro-fibrotic effects caused by miR-381-3p overexpression, thereby attenuating HSC activation and mitigating cholestatic liver fibrosis.

Conclusion

This study highlighted the role of MLE-derived exosomal miR-381-3p in promoting HSC activation and cholestatic liver fibrosis through the regulation of Klf6. These findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying CCLD.
肝星状细胞(hsc)的激活是推动慢性胆汁淤积性肝病(CCLD)进展的中心机制。MicroRNAs (miRNAs)在各种肝脏病理中的调节作用越来越得到人们的认可。本研究旨在鉴定参与CCLD进展的特异性mirna并阐明其潜在的分子机制。方法建立模拟胆汁淤积性肝损伤的小鼠胆管结扎模型。从小鼠大胆管细胞(MLE)中分离外泌体,并与造血干细胞共培养,研究其功能作用。采用逆转录定量聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)检测纤维化标记基因的表达水平。外泌体miRNA微阵列法筛选差异表达的miRNA。此外,我们进行了双荧光素酶报告基因检测和RNA下拉实验来验证miR-381-3p与其假定的靶基因——激酶蛋白家族成员6 (Klf6)之间的相互作用。结果成功分离了MLE外泌体。此外,BDL-MLE衍生的外泌体被证明可以促进hsc的激活并加剧肝纤维化。Dicer敲除降低了关键纤维化标志物的mRNA表达。此外,miR-381-3p在bdl - mle衍生的外泌体和转化生长因子(TGF)-β和bdl - mle外泌体处理的造血干细胞中均被发现上调。机制研究发现Klf6是miR-381-3p的直接靶基因。救援实验进一步发现,Klf6过表达可减轻miR-381-3p过表达引起的促纤维化作用,从而减弱HSC活化,减轻胆汁淤积性肝纤维化。结论本研究强调了mle来源的外泌体miR-381-3p通过调控Klf6促进HSC活化和胆汁淤积性肝纤维化的作用。这些发现为CCLD的分子机制提供了新的见解。

Introduction

Cell processing facilities for regenerative medicine require strict prevention of cross-contamination. However, the typically employed sealed, multi-room layout increases energy demands and capital costs due to heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC), and restricts staff mobility. We devised a semi-open (SO) cleanroom that eliminated doors between the cell processing room (CPR) and adjoining corridor, while maintaining unidirectional airflow as a barrier. This study rigorously compared four interface variants—plain opening, wing walls, push–pull ventilation, and a conventional swing door—to verify whether operational flexibility can be achieved without compromising particle content performance at the CPR–corridor interface.

Methods

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations reproduced two connected rooms separated by a 900 × 2000-mm2 opening, supplied at 23 m3/min (35 air changes per hour) constantly. Four interfaces were evaluated: plain opening, 100–500 mm wing-wall panels, push–pull ventilation adjusted to a 0.75 ratio, and a conventional swing door. A 1-m/s cross-draft emulated personnel transit. Identical full-scale mock-ups were built; particle image velocimetry (PIV) quantified airflow vectors, and optical counters logged 0.5-μm aerosols during 5-min exit and entry. The primary endpoints were the inflow particle concentration ratio across the opening and the cumulative adjacent-room transfer proportions.

Results

CFD showed all layouts leaked ≤0.011 %, with a 1 m/s walking draft, push–pull kept inflow below 0.05 %, halving 500-mm wing-wall performance and outperforming plain openings. The PIV confirmed significant differences in airflow velocity distributions under each condition in the case of the exit. The semi-open layout without doors showed a lower proportion of vectors pointing opposite to the forward direction than the conventional layout in both the exit and entry cases. Particle counts supported this: push–pull transferred 0.013 % of particles on exit, 32.8 % on entry, giving overall migration to the adjacent room of 0.0043 %.

Conclusions

The SO cleanroom concept suppresses fluctuations in particle content at the CPR–corridor interface while eliminating physical doors, enabling flexible personnel flow and obviating extra HVAC zones. Push–pull ventilation delivered the most robust containment against walking-induced disturbances, whereas the 500-mm wing walls offered a passive, power-free alternative with moderate protection. With worst-case inter-room transfers below 0.05 %, SO designs can rationally replace conventional door-sealed rooms, substantially reducing energy and construction costs in regenerative medicine manufacturing.
再生医学的细胞处理设施需要严格防止交叉污染。然而,由于采暖、通风和空调(HVAC),通常采用密封的多房间布局增加了能源需求和资本成本,并限制了员工的流动性。我们设计了一个半开放式(SO)洁净室,消除了细胞处理室(CPR)和相邻走廊之间的门,同时保持单向气流作为屏障。本研究严格比较了四种不同的界面——平开口、翼墙、推拉式通风和传统的旋转门,以验证在不影响cpr -走廊界面颗粒含量性能的情况下,是否可以实现操作灵活性。方法计算流体力学(CFD)模拟再现了两个相连的房间,由一个900 × 2000-mm2的开口隔开,以23 m3/min(每小时换气35次)的速度连续供气。评估了四个界面:普通开口,100-500毫米翼墙面板,推拉通风调节到0.75比率,以及传统的旋转门。1米/秒的交叉通风模拟人员运输。制作了完全相同的全尺寸模型;粒子图像测速(PIV)量化了气流矢量,光学计数器记录了0.5 μm气溶胶在5分钟内的进出情况。主要终点是入口颗粒浓度比和累积的相邻室转移比。结果scfd显示,所有布局漏损≤0.011%,行走吃水1 m/s,推挽流保持在0.05%以下,500 mm翼壁性能降低一半,优于普通开孔。PIV证实,在出口情况下,各工况下的气流速度分布存在显著差异。在出入口两种情况下,无门的半开放式布局中指向前方相反方向的矢量所占比例均低于常规布局。粒子计数支持这一点:推拉在出口转移了0.013%的粒子,在入口转移了32.8%,总体迁移到相邻房间的比例为0.0043%。SO洁净室概念抑制了cpr -走廊界面颗粒含量的波动,同时消除了物理门,实现了灵活的人员流动,避免了额外的暖通空调区域。推挽式通风系统对行走引起的干扰提供了最强大的遏制,而500毫米的翼墙则提供了一种被动的、无动力的替代方案,具有适度的保护作用。SO设计可合理替代传统的闭门房间,在最坏情况下房间间传输量低于0.05%,大大降低再生医药制造的能源和建筑成本。
