As lung cancer shows the highest mortality in cancer related death, serum biomarkers are demanded for the lung cancer diagnosis and its treatment. To discover lung cancer protein biomarkers, secreted proteins from primary cultured lung cancer and adjacent normal tissues from patients were subjected to LC/MS-MS proteomic analysis. Quescin sulfhydryl oxidase(QSOX1) was selected as a biomarker candidate from the proteins enriched in the secretion of lung cancer cells. QSOX1levels were higher in 82% (51 of 62 tissues) of lung cancer tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. Importantly, QSOX1 serum levels were significantly higher in cancer patients (p<0.05, AUC=0.89), when measured by multiple reaction monitoring(MRM). Higher levels of QSOX1 are also uniquely detected in lung cancer tissues among several other solid cancers by immunohistochemistry. QSOX1 knock-downed Lewis lung cancer (LLC) cells was less viable from oxidative stress and had reduced migration and invasion. In addition, LLC mouse models with QSOX1 knock-down also proved that QSOX1 functions in promoting cancer metastasis. In conclusion, QSOX1 might be a lung cancer tissue-derived biomarker and involved in the promotion of lung cancers, and thus can be a therapeutic target for lung cancers.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by cartilage degradation and inflammation. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of secretome derived from adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) in mitigating inflammation and promoting cartilage repair in an in vitro model of OA. Our in vitro model comprised chondrocytes inflamed with TNF. To assess the therapeutic potential of secretome, inflamed chondrocytes were treated with it and concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines, metalloproteinases (MMPs) and extracellular matrix markers were measured. In addition, secretome-treated chondrocytes were subject to a microarray analysis to determine which genes were upregulated and which were downregulated. Treating TNF-inflamed chondrocytes with secretome in vitro inhibits the NF-κB pathway, thereby mediating anti-inflammatory and anti-catabolic effects. Additional protective effects of secretome on cartilage are revealed in the inhibition of hypertrophy markers such as RUNX2, COLX and increases in Col2a1 and ACAN production as well as the upregulation of Sox-9. These findings suggest that ASC-derived secretome can effectively reduce inflammation, promote cartilage repair, and maintain chondrocyte phenotype. This study highlights the potential of ASC-derived secretome as a novel, non-cell-based therapeutic approach for OA, offering a promising alternative to current treatments by targeting inflammation and cartilage repair mechanisms.

The neuronal etiology of obesity is centered around diet-induced inflammatory state in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus which impairs the functionality of pro-opiomelanocortine neurons (POMCs) responsible for whole-body energy homeostasis and feeding behavior. Intriguingly, systemic salt inducible kinase 2 (SIK2) knockout mouse demonstrated reduced food intake and energy expenditure along with modestly dysregulated metabolic parameters suggesting a causal link between the absence of SIK2 activity in POMCs and the observed phenotype. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a comparative secretomics study from POMC neurons following pharmacologically induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induction, a hallmark of metabolic inflammation and POMC dysregulation in diet induced obese (DIO) mice. Our data provide significant in vitro evidence for the POMC specific SIK2 activity in controlling the energy metabolism and feeding in DIO mice by regulating the nature of related POMC secretome. Our data also suggests that under physiological stress conditions SIK2 may act as a gatekeeper for the secreted inflammatory factors and signaling molecules critical for cellular survival and energy homeostasis. On the other hand, in the absence of SIK2 gate opens leading to surge of inflammatory cytokines and apoptotic cues concomitant with the dysregulation of POMC neurons.

Neural stem cell (NSC) based therapies are at the forefront of regenerative medicine strategies to combat illness and injury of the central nervous system (CNS). In addition to their ability to produce new cells, NSCs secrete a variety of products, known as the NSC secretome, that have been shown to ameliorate CNS disease pathology and promote recovery. As pre-clinical and clinical research to harness the NSC secretome for therapeutic purposes advances, a more thorough understanding of the endogenous NSC secretome can provide useful insight into the functional capabilities of NSCs. In this review, we focus on research investigating the autocrine and paracrine functions of the endogenous NSC secretome across life. We also compare the NSC secretome across species, finding signs of conserved parallels between rodent, human and zebrafish NSC secretomes. Throughout development and adulthood, we find evidence that the NSC secretome is a critical component of how endogenous NSCs regulate themselves and their niche. We also find gaps in current literature, most notably in the clinically relevant domain of endogenous NSC paracrine function in the injured CNS. Future investigations to further define the endogenous NSC secretome and its role in CNS tissue regulation are necessary to bolster our understanding of NSC-niche interactions and to aid in the generation of safe and effective NSC-based therapies.

The concerning worldwide increase of obesity and chronic metabolic diseases such as T2D, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease motivates further investigations into preventive and alternative therapeutic approaches. Over the past decade, there is growing evidence that the formation and activation of thermogenic adipocytes (brown and beige) may serve as therapy to treat obesity and its associated diseases owing to its capacity to increase energy expenditure and to modulate circulating lipids and glucose levels. Thus, understanding the molecular mechanism of brown and beige adipocytes formation and activation will facilitate the development of strategies to combat metabolic disorders. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of pathways and players involved in the development of brown and beige fat as well as the role of thermogenic adipocytes in energy homeostasis and metabolism. Also, we discuss the alterations in brown and beige adipose tissue function during obesity and, explore the therapeutic potential of thermogenic activation to treat metabolic syndrome.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) secretions, usually containing growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines, have improved wound healing via a paracrine mechanism. This makes them particularly valuable as potential cell therapeutics. Similarly, wound healing is mainly regulated via paracrine signaling of growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines. Chronic wound healing has prolonged inflammatory, proliferative, or remodeling phases, resulting in tissue fibrosis and non-healing ulcers. The growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines secreted by MSCs can be applied to wounds by transplanting cells or using the secretome/conditioned medium (CM) of MSCs, which contains these secreted bioactive molecules. For their success in increasing the wound healing rate, MSCs offer a promising option for treating chronic wounds. This review provides a concise summary of current knowledge of the biological properties of MSCs and describes the use of MSCs for wound healing. In particular, the scope of this review focuses on the role of MSCs in wound healing by increasing wound healing rate with the secretion of growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines. In addition, the function and type of MSCs also have been discussed.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with a rapidly increasing prevalence. Current therapeutic options primarily manage symptoms, not modifying the disease. Secretome-based therapies have emerged as a promising avenue for AD treatment in targeting multiple pathways and promoting neuroprotection and regeneration. This systematic review evaluated the preclinical and clinical evidences for secretome-based therapies in AD.Methods: A systematic search was conducted across Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane Library. The SYRCLE risk of bias (RoB) tool was used for preclinical studies and Cochrane RoB 2.0 for clinical studies. We performed qualitative analysis of study results.Results: Included 21 in vivo studies and 2 clinical trials revealed promising outcomes of treatments involving secretomes, exosomes, and extracellular vesicles from different cell sources. The therapies could reduce amyloid plaque load, reactive gliosis, and enhance neuronal density. These findings suggested the treatments reveal mechanism of action in neuroprotection, neuroregeneration, and inflammation modulation, which are critical in AD pathology. Ongoing trials also supported the safety and efficacy of the treatment strategies. However, translational medical study faces several challenges regarding large-scale production, optimization of protocols, and understanding biomarkers. The heterogeneity in secretome-based therapies administration have complicated the comparison of study outcomes and the translation of preclinical findings into clinical settings. Deeper understanding of the secretome's mechanisms of action, optimal dosing, and delivery methods are needed to maximize therapeutic outcomes.Conclusion: Despite secretome-based therapies hold significant promise for AD treatment, addressing the identified gaps and limitations is crucial for advancing these therapies from preclinical research to clinical practice.

Corneal ulcers are a common and potentially vision-threatening condition in horses that can be challenging to treat with conventional therapies alone. This case report describes the successful treatment of a non-healing corneal ulcer in a 28-year-old Hispano-Bretón mare using the secretome derived from adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs). Despite initial treatment with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and surgical debridement, the corneal ulcer failed to heal properly, exhibiting persistent epithelial defects and stromal complications. As an alternative regenerative approach, the ASC secretome, a rich source of trophic factors, cytokines, and extracellular vesicles, was topically administered to the affected eye. Remarkably, within one week of secretome treatment, the clinical signs of blepharospasm and epiphora resolved, and the corneal ulcer exhibited complete re-epithelialization, regained transparency, and reduced neovascularization. No recurrence was observed during the 1.5-year follow-up period. This case highlights the potential therapeutic benefits of ASCs secretome in promoting corneal wound healing and suggests its promise as a novel cell-free therapy for treating refractory corneal ulcers in horses.

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) are multipotent, non-hematopoietic progenitor cells with a wide range of immune conditioning and regenerative potential which qualify them as potential component of cell based therapy for various autoimmune / chronic inflammatory ailments. Their immunomodulatory properties include the secretion of immunosuppressive cytokines, the ability to suppress T-cell activation and differentiation, and the induction of regulatory T-cells. In view of this and our interest, we here discuss the significance of MSC for the management of Graft-versus-Host Disease (aGVHD), one of the autoimmune manifestation in human.. In pre-clinical models, MSCs have been shown to reduce the severity of aGVHD symptoms, including skin and gut damage, which are the most common and debilitating manifestations of this disease. While initial clinical studies of MSCs in aGVHD cases were promising, the results were variable in randomized studies. So, further studies are warranted to fully understand their potential benefits, safety profile, and optimal dosing regimens. In view of these inevitable issues, here we discuss various mechanisms, how MSCs can be employed in managing aGVHD, as a therapeutic option for this disease.

Cachexia is a syndrome characterized by an ongoing loss of skeletal muscle mass associated with poor patient prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, prognostic cachexia biomarkers in NSCLC are unknown. Here, we analyzed computed tomography (CT) images and tumor transcriptome data to identify potentially secreted cachexia biomarkers (PSCB) in NSCLC patients with low-muscularity. We integrated radiomics features (pectoralis muscle, sternum, and T10 vertebra) from CT of 89 NSCLC patients, which allowed us to identify an index for screening muscularity. Next, a tumor transcriptomic-based secretome analysis from these patients (discovery set) was evaluated to identify potential cachexia biomarkers in patients with low-muscularity. The prognostic value of these biomarkers for predicting recurrence and survival outcome was confirmed using expression data from eight lung cancer datasets (validation set). Finally, C2C12 myoblasts differentiated into myotubes were used to evaluate the ability of the selected biomarker, IL-8, in inducing muscle cell atrophy. We identified 75 over-expressed transcripts in patients with low-muscularity, which included IL6, CSF3, and IL8. Also, we identified NCAM1, CNTN1, SCG2, CADM1, IL8, NPTX1, and APOD as PSCB in the tumor secretome. These PSCB were capable of distinguishing worse and better prognosis (recurrence and survival) in NSCLC patients. IL8 was confirmed as a predictor of worse prognosis in all validation sets. In vitro assays revealed that IL-8 promoted C2C12 myotube atrophy. Tumors from low-muscularity patients presented a set of upregulated genes encoding for secreted proteins, including pro-inflammatory cytokines that predict worse overall survival in NSCLC. Among these up-regulated genes, IL8 expression in NSCLC tissues was associated with worse prognosis and the recombinant IL-8 was capable of triggering atrophy in C2C12 myotubes.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a ravaging disease whose poor prognosis requires a more detailed understanding of its biology to foster the development of effective therapies. The unsatisfactory results of treatments targeting cell proliferation and its related mechanisms suggested to rather focus on the inflammatory tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we discuss the role of cancer secreted proteins in the complex TME tumor-stroma crosstalk, to sched lights on druggable molecular targets for the development of innovative, safer and more efficient therapeutic strategies.

Leptospirosis remains an important worldwide zoonotic disease caused by Leptospira spp affecting human and animals. This research aims to study the virulent-associated secreted proteins (protein secretome) of pathogenic Leptospira interrogans serovar Icterohemorrhagiae strain RGA (Leptospira RGA) transition from the environment to mammalian physiological osmolarity, temperature (37 °C) and carbon dioxide concentration (5% CO2) conditions for 24 h. Mass Spectrometry and bioinformatics approaches, we identified 69 potential secreted proteins from the culture supernatant of the Leptospira RGA isolate. We discovered transporters and porins such as phosphate porin, outer membrane efflux, ompA family protein, and polymer-forming cytoskeletal family protein under hyperosmotic condition. Under heat stress, degradation enzymes included zinc metallopeptidase, M23 family (LA3456, LA0709), Rhs family protein (LA1765), thermolysin metallopeptidase; / hydrolase family (LA1345, LA2501). Oxidative stress response proteins induced by osmolarity and temperature shifts included chaperon GrpE, DnaK (LA3705), antioxidants, i.e., thiol-specific redoxin, and peroxiredoxin (LA2809). In response to the in vivo transition, metabolic and other enzymes involved in energy production (COG:C), amino acid metabolism and transport (COG:E), and lipid metabolism and transport (COG:I), as well as moonlighting proteins functionally binding to plasminogen and fibronectin and regulating transcription, were also discovered. An overview of secreted proteins will supplement our understanding of Leptospira biology and pathogenesis during infection and also in response to environmental stimuli and their potential virulent determinants have the potential for developing leptospirosis vaccines and diagnosis.

In kidney, epithelial barrier has diverse functions in body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis, and urine production. Maintaining epithelial integrity fundamentally builds up physiological functionality of the renal epithelial barrier (REB). Specially, the REB) states regularly in osmotic dynamics. The osmotic dynamics gives rise of osmotic pressure that is a physical force. Overloading of osmotic pressure can crack epithelial integrity and damage REB. How REB endures the osmotic pressure force yet remains enigmatic. LMO7 (LIM domain only 7) is a protein associated with cell-cell junctional complex and cortical F-actin. LMO7 upregulation was observed in cells cultured in hypertonic condition. In kidney, LMO7 predominantly distributes in epithelial cells in renal tubules. Hypertonic stimulation leads to assembly of LMO7 and F-actin in cortical stress fibers in renal epithelial cells. Hypertonic-isotonic alternation as pressure force pushing plasma membrane inward/outward was set as osmotic disturbance and was applied to test FAK signaling and LMO7 functioning in maintaining junctional integrity. Along with junctional integrity, LMO7 depleted cells resulted in loss of junctional integrity in the epithelial sheet cultured hypertonic medium or hypertonic-isotonic alternation. On the other hand, FAK inhibited by PF-573228 leads to failure in robust cortical F-actin assembly and association of LMO7 with cortical F-actin in epithelial cells responding upon hypertonic stress. Epithelial integrity in context of osmotic stress, LMO7 and FAK signaling both involves in assembling robust cortical F-actin and maintaining junctional integrity. The LMO7 elaborately manages FAK activation in renal epithelial cells, which was evidently demonstrated in NRK-52E cells who have excessive FAK activation and lost epithelial integrity when cells with LMO7 depletion exposed to hypertonic environment. Our data suggests that LOM7 manages FAK activation and is responsible for maintaining REB under osmotic disturbance.

Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) can have several etiologies, such as trauma and iatrogenic interventions that can lead to the loss of structure and/or function impairment. These changes can cause a partial or complete loss of motor and sensory functions, physical disability, and neuropathic pain, what in turn can affect the quality of life. For those reasons, PNI is a major public health concern. This review aims to revisit the concepts associated with the PNI. First, the anatomy of the peripheral nerve is detailed to explain the different types of injury. Then, some of the available therapeutic strategies are explained, including surgical methods, pharmacological therapies, and the use of cell-based therapies alone or in combination with biomaterials in the form of tube guides. Nevertheless, even with the various available treatments, it is difficult to achieve a perfect outcome with complete functional recovery. This review aims to explain the urge for new approaches and to understand the methods to evaluate nerve regeneration in a One Health perspective. In vitro models followed by in vivo models are very important to be able to translate the achievements to human medicine.

Invasive candidiasis (IC) is associated with high morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients if not diagnosed early. Long-term use of central venous catheters is a predisposing factor for IC. Hyphal forms of Candida albicans (the major etiological agent of IC) are related to invasion of host tissues. The secreted proteins of hyphae are involved in virulence, host interaction, immune response, and immune evasion. To identify IC diagnostic biomarker candidates, we characterized the C. albicans hyphal secretome by gel-free proteomic analysis, and further assessed the antibody-reactivity patterns to this subproteome in serum pools from 12 patients with non-catheter-associated IC (ncIC), 11 patients with catheter-associated IC (cIC), and 11 non-IC patients. We identified 301 secreted hyphal proteins stratified to stem from the extracellular region, cell wall, cell surface, or intracellular compartments. ncIC and cIC patients had higher antibody levels to the hyphal secretome than non-IC patients. Seven secreted hyphal proteins were identified to be immunogenic (Bgl2, Eno1, Pgk1, Glx3, Sap5, Pra1 and Tdh3). Antibody-reactivity patterns to Bgl2, Eno1, Pgk1 and Glx3 discriminated IC patients from non-IC patients, while those to Sap5, Pra1 and Tdh3 differentiated between cIC and non-IC patients. These proteins may be useful for development of future IC diagnostic tests.

(1) Background: The chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin exerts toxic side effects causing acute kidney injury. Mesenchymal stromal cells can ameliorate cisplatin-induced kidney injury. We hypothe-size that the MSC secretome orchestrates the vicious cycle of injury and inflammation by acting on proximal tubule epithelial cells (PTECs) and macrophages individually, but further by coun-teracting their cellular crosstalk. (2) Methods: Conditioned medium (CM) from adipose stromal cells was used, first assessing its effect on cisplatin injury in PTECs. Second, effects of cisplatin and CM on macrophages were measured. Lastly, in an indirect co-culture system the interplay between the two cell types was assessed. (3) Results: First, CM rescued PTECs from cisplatin-induced apoptosis by reducing oxidative stress and expression of nephrotoxicity genes. Second, while cisplatin exerted only minor effects on macrophages, CM skewed macrophage phenotypes to the anti-inflammatory M2-like phenotype and increased phagocytosis. Finally, in the co-culture system, CM suppressed PTEC death by inhibiting apoptosis and nuclei fragmentation. CM lowered TNF-α release. While cisplatin inhibited macrophage phagocytosis, PTECs, and CM to a greater extent, enhanced it. CM strongly dampened the inflammatory macrophage cytokine secretion triggered by PTECs. (4) Conclusion: ASC-CM surpasses the PTEC-macrophage cross-talk in cisplatin injury. The positive effects on reducing cisplatin cytotoxicity, on polarizing mac-rophages and on fine-tuning cytokine secretion underscores MSCs CM benefit to prevent kidney injury progression.

Knowledge of the biological effects of molecular hydrogen (H2), hydrogen gas, is constantly expanding giving a reason for optimism for several healthcare practitioners regarding management of multiple diseases, including socially significant ones. However, mechanisms underlying the biological effects of H2 are still being actively argued. In this review, we focus on mast cells as a potential target for H2 at the level of a specific tissue microenvironment. H2 regulates processing of pro-inflammatory components of the mast cell secretome and their entry into the extracellular matrix; this can significantly affect the state of the integrated-buffer metabolic environment and the structure of the immune landscape of the local tissue microenvironment. The analysis performed highlights several potential mechanisms for developing the biological effects of H2 and offers great opportunities for translating the obtained findings into clinical practice.

Liver fibrosis is a critical health issue with limited treatment options. This study investigates the potential of PGC-Sec, a secretome derived from PGC-1α-overexpressing adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), as a novel therapeutic strategy for liver fibrosis. Upon achieving a cellular confluence of 70-80%, ASCs were transfected with pcDNA-PGC-1α. PGC-Sec, obtained through concentration of conditioned media using ultrafiltration units with a 3-kDa cutoff, was assessed through in vitro assays and in vivo mouse models. In vitro, PGC-Sec significantly reduced LX2 human hepatic stellate cell proliferation and mitigated mitochondrial oxidative stress compared to control-secretome (Ctrl-Sec). In an in vivo mouse model, PGC-Sec treatment led to notable reductions in hepatic enzyme activity, serum pro-inflammatory cytokine concentrations, and fibrosis-related marker expression. Histological analysis demonstrated improved liver histology and reduced fibrosis severity in PGC-Sec-treated mice. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed enhanced expression of PGC-1α, OPA1 (a mitochondrial function marker), and PPARα (an anti-fibrogenic marker) in the PGC-Sec-treated group, along with reduced Collagen 1A expression (a pro-fibrogenic marker). These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of PGC-Sec in combating liver fibrosis by enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and function, and promoting antifibrotic processes. PGC-Sec holds promise as a novel treatment strategy for liver fibrosis.

Horses are high performance athletes prone to sportive injuries such as tendonitis and desmitis. The formation of fibrous tissue in tendon repair becomes a therapeutic challenge to overcome. This impels regenerative medicine to develop innovative therapies that enhance tissue regenera-tion retrieving original tissue properties. Multipotent Mesenchymal Stem/ Stromal Cells (MSCs) have been successfully used to develop therapeutic products, as they secrete a variety of bioac-tive molecules that play a pivotal role in tissue regeneration. These factors are released in cul-ture media producing conditioned media (CM). The aforementioned assumptions led to the formulation of equine synovial membrane MSCs (eSM-MSCs) – the cellular pool that naturally regenerates joint tissue, combined with medium enriched in immunomodulatory factors (among other bioactive factors) produced by umbilical cord stroma-derived MSCs (eUC-MSCs), that nat-urally contribute to suppress the immune rejection in the maternal-fetal barrier. A clinical case of an equine acute desmitis, treated with this formulation is presented. Ultrasonographic ligament regeneration occurred in a reduced time frame, reducing stoppage time and allowing return to unrestricted competition after completion of a physical rehabilitation program. This study fo-cused on the determination of the formulation therapeutic potential and the evaluation of its synergistic effect in an equine desmitis treatment, utilizing the cells themselves and its secretome.

Cell secretome has been explored as a cell-free technique with high scientific and medical interest for Regenerative Medicine. In this work, the secretome produced and collected from Olfactory Mucosa Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Olfactory Ensheating Cells was analyzed and therapeutically applied to promote peripheral nerve regeneration. The analysis of the conditioned medium revealed the production and secretion of several factors with immunomodulatory functions, capable of intervening beneficially in the phases of nerve regeneration. Subsequently, the conditioned medium was applied to sciatic nerves of rats after neurotmesis, using Reaxon^® as tube-guides. Over 20 weeks, the animals were subjected to periodic functional assessments, and after this period, the sciatic nerves and cranial tibial muscles were evaluated stereologically and histomorphometrically, respectively. The results obtained allowed to confirm the beneficial effects resulting from the application of this therapeutic combination. The administration of conditioned medium from Olfactory Mucosal Mesenchymal Stem Cells led to the best results in motor performance, sensory recovery, and gait patterns. Stereological and histomorphometric evaluation also revealed the ability of this therapeutic combination to promote nervous and muscular histologic reorganization during the regenerative process. The therapeutic combination discussed in this work shows promising results and should be further explored to clarify irregularities found in the outcomes and to allow establishing the use of cell secretome as a new therapeutic field applied in the treatment of peripheral nerves after injury.
