Manganese Superoxide Dismutase Gene-Modified Mesenchymal Stem Cells Attenuate Acute Radiation-Induced Lung Injury.

TLDR
Evaluated manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene-modified mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were effective in modulating RILI in mice and had great potential for accelerating from bench to bedside.
Abstract
Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a major clinical complication for radiotherapy in thoracic tumors. An immediate effect of lung irradiation is the generation of reactive oxygen that can produce oxidative damage to DNA, lipids, and proteins resulting in lung cell injury or death. Currently, the medical management of RILI remains supportive. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of countermeasures. The present study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene–modified mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to facilitate the improved recovery of RILI. Here, nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency mice received a 13 Gy dose of whole-thorax irradiation, and were then transfused intravenously with MnSOD-MSCs and monitored for 30 days. Lung histopathologic analysis, plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines (interleukin [IL]-1, IL-6, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-α), profibrotic factor transforming growth factor-β1, and the oxidative stress fa...

Improved therapeutics of modified mesenchymal stem cells: an update

TL;DR: The importance of prosurvival and promigratory abilities of MSCs in their therapeutic applications can never be overemphasized and these abilities are maintained and even further enhanced via MSC modifications against the inhospitable microenvironment during culture and transplantation.

Free radicals and antioxidants: updating a personal view.

TL;DR: This article looks back to the antioxidant/free radical field in 1994 and discusses how it has progressed in the past 18 years and suggests that increasing endogenous antioxidant levels (e.g., by supplying "pro-oxidants") may be a better approach to therapeutics and disease prevention than consuming large doses of "dietary antioxidants."

TGF-β1 induces human alveolar epithelial to mesenchymal cell transition (EMT)

TL;DR: The data showed that TGF-β1 induced A549 cells with an alveolar epithelial type II cell phenotype to undergo EMT in a time-and concentration-dependent manner, and cells that had undergone EMT showed enhanced expression of markers of fibrogenesis including collagens type I and III and CTGF.
