Abstract

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are an attractive therapeutic agent in regenerative medicine. Recently, there has been a paradigm shift from differentiation of MSCs to their paracrine effects at the injury site. Several reports elucidate the role of trophic factors secreted by MSCs toward the repair of injured tissues. We hypothesize that fractionating the MSC secretome will enrich exosomes containing soluble bioactive molecules, improving its therapeutic potential for liver failure. Rat bone marrow MSCs were isolated and the conditioned media filtered, concentrated and ultracentrifuged to generate fractionated secretome. This secretome was characterized for the presence of exosomes and recovery from liver injury assessed in in-vitro liver injury models. The results were further validated in vivo. Studies on in-vitro liver injury models using acetaminophen and hydrogen peroxide show better cell recovery and reduced cytotoxicity in the presence of fractionated as opposed to unfractionated secretome. Further, the cells showed reduced oxidative stress in the presence of fractionated secretome, suggesting a potential antioxidative effect. These results were further validated in vivo in liver failure models, wherein improved liver regeneration in the presence of fractionated secretome (0.819 ± 0.035) was observed as compared to unfractionated secretome (0.718 ± 0.042). The work presented is a proof of concept that fractionating the secretome enriches certain bioactive molecules involved in the repair and recovery of injured liver tissue. Exosome enriched mesenchymal stromal cell-derived fractionated secretome potentiates recovery upon injection in injured liver.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 August 2022.
All research outputs
#3,701,305
of 23,016,919 outputs
Outputs from Stem Cell Research & Therapy
#346
of 2,429 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#83,091
of 437,309 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Stem Cell Research & Therapy
#9
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,016,919 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,429 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 437,309 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
