    Abstract Background: Testicular aging is associated with diminished fertility and certain age-related ailments, and effective therapeutic interventions remain elusive. Here, we probed the therapeutic efficacy of exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUMSC-Exos) in counteracting testicular aging.
    Methods: We employed a model of 22-month-old mice and administered intratesticular injections of hUMSC-Exos. Comprehensive analyses encompassing immunohistological, transcriptomic, and physiological assessments were conducted to evaluate the effects on testicular aging. Concurrently, we monitored alterations in macrophage polarization and the oxidative stress landscape within the testes. Finally, we performed bioinformatic analysis for miRNAs in hUMSC-Exos.
    Results: Our data reveal that hUMSC-Exos administration leads to a marked reduction in aging-associated markers and cellular apoptosis while promoting cellular proliferation in aged testis. Importantly, hUMSC-Exos facilitated the restoration of spermatogenesis and elevated testosterone synthesis in aged mice. Furthermore, hUMSC-Exos could attenuate inflammation by driving the phenotypic shift of macrophages from M1 to M2 and suppress oxidative stress by reduced ROS production. Mechanistically, these efficacies against testicular aging may be mediated by hUMSC-Exos miRNAs.
    Conclusions: Our findings suggest that hUMSC-Exos therapy presents a viable strategy to ameliorate testicular aging, underscoring its potential therapeutic significance in managing testicular aging.

    Abstract Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are known to be widespread in many tissues and possess a broad spectrum of immunoregulatory properties. They have been used in the treatment of a variety of inflammatory diseases; however, the therapeutic effects are still inconsistent owing to their heterogeneity. Spleen stromal cells have evolved to regulate the immune response at many levels as they are bathed in a complex inflammatory milieu during infection. Therefore, it is unknown whether they have stronger immunomodulatory effects than their counterparts derived from other tissues. Here, using a transgenic mouse model expressing GFP driven by the Nestin (

    Abstract Functional depletion of the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) with a 25 nt U1 AMO (antisense morpholino oligonucleotide) may lead to intronic premature cleavage and polyadenylation of thousands of genes, a phenomenon known as U1 snRNP telescripting; however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrated that U1 AMO could disrupt U1 snRNP structure both in vitro and in vivo, thereby affecting the U1 snRNP-RNAP polymerase II interaction. By performing chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing for phosphorylation of Ser2 and Ser5 of the C-terminal domain of RPB1, the largest subunit of RNAP polymerase II, we showed that transcription elongation was disturbed upon U1 AMO treatment, with a particular high phosphorylation of Ser2 signal at intronic cryptic polyadenylation sites (PASs). In addition, we showed that core 3'processing factors CPSF/CstF are involved in the processing of intronic cryptic PAS. Their recruitment accumulated toward cryptic PASs upon U1 AMO treatment, as indicated by chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and individual-nucleotide resolution CrossLinking and ImmunoPrecipitation sequencing analysis. Conclusively, our data suggest that disruption of U1 snRNP structure mediated by U1 AMO provides a key for understanding the U1 telescripting mechanism.

    Abstract It has recently been shown that CFIm25, a canonical mRNA 3’ processing factor, could play a variety of physiological roles through its molecular function in the regulation of mRNA alternative polyadenylation (APA). Here, we used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing approach in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) for CFIm25, and obtained three gene knockdown/mutant cell lines. CFIm25 gene editing resulted in higher proliferation rate and impaired differentiation potential for hESCs, with these effects likely to be directly regulated by the target genes, including the pluripotency factor rex1. Mechanistically, we unexpected found that perturbation in CFIm25 gene expression did not significantly affect cellular mRNA 3’ processing efficiency and APA profile. Rather, we provided evidences that CFIm25 may impact RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) occupancy at the body of transcribed genes, and promote the expression level of a group of transcripts associated with cellular proliferation and/or differentiation. Taken together, these results reveal novel mechanisms underlying CFIm25ʹs modulation in determination of cell fate, and provide evidence that the process of mammalian gene transcription may be regulated by an mRNA 3’ processing factor.

    Abstract Dysfunction of the sympathetic nervous system and increased epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) have been independently associated with the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmia. However, their exact roles in triggering arrhythmia remain elusive. Here, using an in vitro coculture system with sympathetic neurons, cardiomyocytes, and adipocytes, we show that adipocyte-derived leptin activates sympathetic neurons and increases the release of neuropeptide Y (NPY), which in turn triggers arrhythmia in cardiomyocytes by interacting with the Y1 receptor (Y1R) and subsequently enhancing the activity of the Na

    Abstract It is well established that U1 snRNP inhibits the cleavage of cryptic polyadenylation site (PAS) within introns, thereby facilitating full-length mRNA transcription for numerous genes in vertebrate cells, yet the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, by using a model PAS of wdr26 mRNA, we show that U1 snRNP predominantly interferes with the association of PAS with a core 3′ processing factor CstF64, which can promote the cleavage step of mRNA 3′ processing. Furthermore, we provide evidence that U1A, a component of U1 snRNP, might directly interfere with CstF64 binding on PAS through its RNA binding capacity. Consistently, U1A could potentially associate with U1-suppressed intronic PASs at the transcriptome level in human cells, showing a binding peak ∼50 nt downstream of the cleavage site, as revealed by U1A iCLIP-seq (individual-nucleotide resolution UV crosslinking and immunoprecipitation coupled with RNA sequencing) analysis. Together, our data suggest a molecular mechanism underlying U1 snRNP inhibition of the cleavage step of mRNA 3′ processing. More generally, we argue that U1 snRNP might inhibit the usage of cryptic PASs through disturbing the recruitment of core 3’ processing factors.

    Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are among the most promising cell sources for the treatment of various diseases. Nonetheless, the therapeutic efficacy in clinical trials has been inconsistent due to the heterogeneity of MSCs, which may be partially attributed to their undefined developmental origins. The lateral mesoderm is also a developmental source of MSCs that constitute appendicular skeletal elements in the developing vertebrate embryo. However, it is difficult to isolate homogeneous lateral mesoderm (LM)-derived MSCs from bone tissues or bone marrow due to the lack of understanding of their characteristics. Herein, we successfully established an efficient differentiation protocol for the derivation of MSCs with a LM origin from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) under specific conditions. LM-MSCs resembled bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMSCs) with regard to cell surface markers, global gene profiles, and immunoregulatory activity and showed a homeodomain transcription factor (HOX) gene expression pattern typical of skeletal MSCs in long bones. Moreover, we demonstrated that LM-MSCs had an increased osteogenic/chondrogenic differentiation capacity and hematopoietic support potential compared to BMSCs. These homogeneous LM-MSCs may serve as a powerful tool for elucidating their precise role in bone formation and hematopoiesis and could be a potentially ideal cell source for therapeutic applications.
