“…It has been suggested that AMPs that destroy the envelope glycoprotein can be used to stop or disrupt the life cycle of SARS-CoV-2 [ 287 ]. AMPs, which are found in the secretion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have antimicrobial properties, the ability to attenuate cytokine storms, and, therefore are an attractive approach to prevent the COVID-19 pandemic [ 288 ].…”

At present, much attention is paid to the use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) of natural and artificial origin to combat pathogens. AMPs have several points that determine their biological activity. We analyzed the structural properties of AMPs, as well as described their mechanism of action and impact on pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Recently published data on the development of new AMP drugs based on a combination of molecular design and genetic engineering approaches are presented. In this article, we have focused on information on the amyloidogenic properties of AMP. This review examines AMP development strategies from the perspective of the current high prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and the potential prospects and challenges of using AMPs against infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

“…The concept of cell therapy for the treatment of CF lung infection and inflammation is complex, particularly with the dynamic nature of the “drug” in the form of macrophages, hMSCs or both ( Hodges and Conlon, 2019 ). Fortunately, cell-based approaches have been described in other diseases such as alveolar proteinosis ( Suzuki et al, 2014 ), Niemen Pick disease ( Schuchman and Desnick, 2017 ) acute respiratory distress syndrome ( Horie et al, 2018 ), interstitial pulmonary fibrosis ( Bonfield and Caplan, 2010 ), bronchopulmonary dysplasia ( Cerny et al, 2008 ), rheumatoid arthritis ( Jorgensen, 2010 ) and others ( Lachmann et al, 2014 ; Morrison et al, 2017 ; Khoury et al, 2020 ; Verma et al, 2020 ). Bone marrow supplementation or hMSC therapy is not corrective longitudinally, but would enhance the capacity of patients to manage their own immune environment.…”

Enhancing Cystic Fibrosis Immune Regulation

In cystic fibrosis (CF), sustained infection and exuberant inflammation results in debilitating and often fatal lung disease. Advancement in CF therapeutics has provided successful treatment regimens for a variety of clinical consequences in CF; however effective means to treat the pulmonary infection and inflammation continues to be problematic. Even with the successful development of small molecule cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) correctors and potentiators, there is only a modest effect on established infection and inflammation in CF patients. In the pursuit of therapeutics to treat inflammation, the conundrum to address is how to overcome the inflammatory response without jeopardizing the required immunity to manage pathogens and prevent infection. The key therapeutic would have the capacity to dull the inflammatory response, while sustaining the ability to manage infections. Advances in cell-based therapy have opened up the avenue for dynamic and versatile immune interventions that may support this requirement. Cell based therapy has the capacity to augment the patient’s own ability to manage their inflammatory status while at the same time sustaining anti-pathogen immunity. The studies highlighted in this manuscript outline the potential use of cell-based therapy for CF. The data demonstrate that 1) total bone marrow aspirates containing Cftr sufficient hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) provide Cftr deficient mice >50% improvement in survival and improved management of infection and inflammation; 2) myeloid cells can provide sufficient Cftr to provide pre-clinical anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefit; 3) hMSCs provide significant improvement in survival and management of infection and inflammation in CF; 4) the combined interaction between macrophages and hMSCs can potentially enhance anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial support through manipulating PPARγ. These data support the development of optimized cell-based therapeutics to enhance CF patient’s own immune repertoire and capacity to maintain the balance between inflammation and pathogen management.

“…The first side effects in the form of the disease may occur in the first month after the transplant ( Bonifazi et al, 2020 ). Further, clinical studies have shown that bone marrow MSCs with a potential profibrogenic potential can cause liver fibrosis ( Lee, 2018 , Musiał-Wysocka et al, 2019 , Verma et al, 2020 ). The available data also show the growth of neoplastic tumors such as lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, gastric cancer and colon cancer ( Lee, 2018 , Musiał-Wysocka et al, 2019 , Verma et al, 2020 ).…”

Currently, the world is facing the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, coronavirus of acute respiratory distress syndrome 2, causes of COVID-19. Coronaviruses are RNA single-stranded viruses that have an envelope. In addition, coronaviruses are classified into four subfamilies: alpha, beta, gamma and delta coronaviruses. The first of them, cause mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic infections, while beta-coronaviruses are responsible for severe diseases. SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the group of beta-coronaviruses. Current available therapies use corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, non-specific antiviral drugs or antibiotics in the treatment of secondary bacterial infections. In addition, therapies based on the use of hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, remdesvir, ribavirin, interferon or lopinavir-ritonavir were also initially used. Mesenchemical stem cells (MSCs) are widely used in cell therapies, which include both basic research and clinical trials. Their exceptional effectiveness and safety have been confirmed and documented in many clinical studies, which include a number of inflammatory diseases involving the immune system – one of them is systemic lupus erythematosus. Available data indicate the ability to differentiate MSCs and their immunomodulatory effects. In addition, through interactions with immune cells, which include, but are not limited to, macrophages and dendritic cells, or paracrine secretion, MSCs are able to secrete a number of types of cytokines. MSCs are also characterized by tissue regeneration and regulation of inflammation. Due to their properties, researchers turned to determine whether MSC transplantation is able to improve the outcome of patients with COVID-19 viral pneumonia. The presented review provides not only new knowledge in the field of molecular mechanisms of pro-regenerative action of stem cells, but also have the potential to open up new prospects of action to improve lung tissue regeneration in COVID-19 patients. In addition, in review mentioned about clinical trials using MSCs with a complete status, as well as the latest discoveries in molecular biology, a platform model of pluripotent stem cells in the SARS-CoV-2 study on 3D animal models and nanoconjugates based on stem cells.
