Modulating SPARC Expression in Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improves Secretome-Mediated Skin Regeneration and Wound Repair


ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have garnered significant attention over the past three decades due to their robust regenerative potential, primarily mediated by their paracrine activity by releasing soluble bioactive factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs). The MSC secretome plays a pivotal role in wound healing by influencing cellular migration, inflammation, angiogenesis, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and re-epithelialization. SPARC (Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine), a multifunctional ECM glycoprotein involved in tissue repair and remodeling, regulates key processes such as cell migration, proliferation, angiogenesis, and survival. Despite its known role in ECM dynamics, the impact of SPARC expression on the regenerative properties of MSCs remains underexplored. In this study, we hypothesized that SPARC overexpression in MSCs enhances their secretome's regenerative capacity. Using lentiviral systems, we generated SPARCoverexpressing (+SPARC) and SPARC-knockdown (KD-SPARC) MSCs to investigate SPARC's role in wound healing. Conditioned media (CM) derived from these MSCs were analyzed in vitro for their effects on human skin keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Our results revealed that SPARC expression significantly influences cell-specific migration and cell cycle. Furthermore, in an in vivo wound healing model, CM from +SPARC MSCs accelerated regeneration, while SPARC absence in MSCs CM delayed the healing process. These findings underscore the critical role of SPARC in modulating MSC secretome composition and enhancing its regenerative efficacy. This study highlights SPARC as a promising therapeutic target for the development of advanced regenerative therapies aimed at improving cutaneous wound healing outcomes
