Mesenchymal stem cells to treat female infertility; future perspective and challenges: A review.

ABSTRACT: Infertility negatively impacts the overall health and social life of affected individuals and couples. Female infertility is their inability to perceive pregnancy. To date, polycystic ovary syndrome, primary ovarian insufficiency, fallopian tube obstruction, endometriosis, and intrauterine synechiae have been identified as the primary causes of infertility in women. However, despite the mutual efforts of clinicians and research scientists, the development of an effective treatment modality has met little success in combating female infertility. Intriguingly, significant research has demonstrated mesenchymal stem cells as an optimal source for treating infertility disorders. Therefore, here we attempted to capsulize to date available studies to summarize the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells in combating infertility in women by focusing on the underlying mechanism through which stem cells can reduce the effects of ovarian disorders. Furthermore, we also discussed the preclinical and clinical application of stem cell therapy, their limitation, and the future perspective to minimize these limitations.

Project description:Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), particularly stroke and myocardial infarction (MI) contributed to the leading cause of death annually among the chronic diseases globally. Despite the advancement of technology, the current available treatments mainly served as palliative care but not treating the diseases. However, the discovery of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) had gained a consideration to serve as promising strategy in treating CVDs. Recent evidence also showed that MSCs are the strong candidate to be used as stem cell therapy involving cardiovascular regeneration due to its cardiomyogenesis, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, antifibrotic effects and neovascularization capacity. Besides, MSCs could be used for cellular cardiomyoplasty with its transdifferentiation of MSCs into cardiomyocytes, paracrine effects, microvesicles and exosomes as well as mitochondrial transfer. The safety and efficacy of utilizing MSCs have been described in well-established preclinical and clinical studies in which the accomplishment of MSCs transplantation resulted in further improvement of the cardiac function. Tissue engineering could enhance the desired properties and therapeutic effects of MSCs in cardiovascular regeneration by genome-editing, facilitating the cell delivery and retention, biomaterials-based scaffold, and three-dimensional (3D)-bioprinting. However, there are still obstacles in the use of MSCs due to the complexity and versatility of MSCs, low retention rate, route of administration and the ethical and safety issues of the use of MSCs. The aim of this review is to highlight the details of therapeutic properties of MSCs in treating CVDs, strategies to facilitate the therapeutic effects of MSCs through tissue engineering and the challenges faced using MSCs. A comprehensive review has been done through PubMed and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) from the year of 2010 to 2021 based on some specific key terms such as 'mesenchymal stem cells in cardiovascular disease', 'mesenchymal stem cells in cardiac regeneration', 'mesenchymal stem cells facilitate cardiac repairs', 'tissue engineering of MSCs' to include relevant literature in this review.
