Project description:The organisation of the mammary epithelial cell hierarchy and how these cells relate to the presentation of human breast tumours is poorly understood. Our results demonstrate that the luminal cell compartment of the mouse mammary gland can be resolved into terminally differentiated oestrogen receptor (ER)+ luminal cells, ER+ luminal progenitors and ER- luminal progenitors. The ER+ luminal progenitors are unique in regards to cell survival, as they are relatively insensitive to loss of oestrogen and progesterone when compared to the other types of mammary epithelial cells. Analysis of normal human breast tissue reveals a similar hierarchical organisation that is composed of terminally differentiated luminal cells and relatively differentiated (EpCAM+CD49f+ALDH-) and undifferentiated (EpCAM+CD49f+ALDH+) luminal progenitors. In addition, approximately one third of human breast samples examined contained an additional population that had a luminal progenitor phenotype, but is characterised by low expression of ERBB3 and low proliferative potential. Parent-progeny relationship experiments demonstrated that all luminal progenitor populations in both species are highly plastic and, at low frequencies, can generate progeny representing all mammary cell types. Gene expression profiling demonstrates that the ER- luminal progenitors in the mouse and the undifferentiated ALDH+ luminal progenitors in the human have gene signatures that resemble those obtained from basal-like breast tumours. Overall, our work reveals a more defined mammary cell hierarchy, which may in turn provide greater insight into the aetiology of breast cancer. Normal human breast tissues from reduction mammoplasties were dissociated into single cells and the epithelial cell populations were flow sorted. Total RNA was extracted for each group in 11 independent patient samples.

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) can be obtained from several sources and the significant differences in their properties, makes it crucial to investigate the differentiation potential of MSCs from different sources to determine the optimal source of MSCs. We investigated if this biological heterogeneity in MSCs from different sources results in different mechanisms for their differentiation. In this study, we compared the gene expression patterns of phenotypically defined MSCs derived from three ontogenically different sources: Embryonic stem cells (hES-MSCs), Fetal limb (Flb-MSCs) and Bone Marrow (BM-MSCs). Differentially expressed genes between differentiated cells and undifferentiated controls were compared across the three MSC sources. We found minimal overlap in differential gene expression (5-16%) among the three sources. Flb-MSCs were similar to BM-MSCs based on differential gene expression patterns. Pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) revealed a large variation in the canonical pathways leading to MSC differentiation. The similar canonical pathways among the three sources were lineage specific. The Flb-MSCs showed maximum overlap of canonical pathways with the BM-MSCs, indicating that the Flb-MSCs is an intermediate source between the less specialised hES-MSC source and the more specialised BM-MSC source. The source specific pathways prove that MSCs from the three ontogenically different sources use different biological pathways to obtain similar differentiation outcomes. Thus our study advocates the understanding of biological pathways to obtain optimal sources of MSCs for various clinical applications.

Project description:In different preclinical studies, different sources of MSCs derived from adipose tissue, bone marrow, placenta, umbilical cord have shown effectiveness in treating ARDS. However, their clinical translation has not been effective as demonstrated by variable outcomes from clinical trials. One reason for this could be the MSC source chosen for clinical translation as there is lack of study comparing the different sources of MSCs. In previous work, we performed a “head-to-head” comparison between different sources of MSCs and showed that each source had a unique genomic and proteomic “signature”. Hence, in this current study, we investigated the choice of MSC source best suited for therapy in an LPS-induced mouse model of ARDS. We compare the 3 most commonly used MSC sources: bone marrow derived-MSCs (BM-MSCs), adipose tissue derived-MSCs (AD-MSCs) and umbilical cord derived-MSCs (UC-MSCs) therapy in LPS-induced ARDS model where we did bulk RNA sequencing of the lungs to validate the efficacy of therapy in terms of different changes in gene label and different pathways involved.

Project description:Aims Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are being tested and accepted as a source for cell therapy worldwide. However, the advanced age of the patients, together with the difficulties in achieving the required cell amounts, impede autologous treatments. Reprogramming of MSCs into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), followed by re-differentiation to MSCs has emerged as a promising and safe method to facilitate the cell expansion and the removal of aging-associated characteristics. However, the effect of reprogramming on the MSC’s pro-angiogenicity is poorly understood. Materials and Methods In this study, we use a microfluidic organ-on-a-chip platform designed for vascularization assays to study and compare the effects of bone marrow MSCs (BM-MSCs) and iPSC-derived MSCs (iMSCs) in stimulating the formation of vessels by endothelial cells. Cells were loaded in fibrin hydrogels, injected into the microfluidic channel, and grown for ten days. Key findings Fluorescence microscopy revealed that BM-MSCs promote the formation of long and interconnected endothelial vessels, while iMSCs barely stimulate neoangiogenesis. This was further confirmed and explained by bulk RNA sequencing, showing a decrease of pro-angiogenic agents in both of the iMSCs co-cultures. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy revealed that BM-MSCs closely associate with the new vessels as perivascular cells, while iMSCs just remain in proximity. Significance These results highlight iMSCs as a promising substitute for BM-MSCs in the treatment of diseases with pernicious vascularization, such as osteoarthritis, ocular degeneration, and cancer.

Project description:Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are good candidates for brain cell-replacement strategies and has been already used as adjuvant treatment in neurological disorders. MSCs can be obtained from many different sources, and the present study compares the neuronal potential transdifferentiation of MSCs from adult and neonatal sources with a protocol previously tested, consisting in a cocktail of six small molecules: I-BET151, CHIR99021, Forskolin, RepSox, Y-27632, and dbcAMP (ICFRYA). A neuronal morphology and the presence of cells positive to neuronal markers (TUJ-1 and MAP2) were considered attributes of neuronal induction. The present study showed marked differences between MSCs from different sources in response to the transdifferentiation protocol here used. These results may contribute to identifying the best source of MSCs for potential cell-replacement therapies.

Project description:A widely shared view reads that 'MSCs' are ubiquitous in human connective tissues, can be defined by a common in vitro phenotype, share a skeletogenic potential as assessed by in vitro differentiation assays, and coincide with the ubiquitous 'pericytes.' Using stringent in vivo differentiation assays and transcriptome analysis, we show here that human cell populations from different anatomical sources, which would all be regarded as 'MSCs' based on these criteria and assumptions, actually differ widely in their transcriptomic signature and in vivo differentiation potential. In contrast, they share the capacity to guide the assembly of functional microvessels in vivo, regardless of their anatomical source, or in situ identity as perivascular or circulating cells. This analysis further reveals that muscle 'pericytes,' which are not spontaneously osteo-chondrogenic as previously claimed, may indeed coincide with an ectopic perivascular subset of committed myogenic cells similar to satellite cells. Cord blood-derived stromal cells, on the other hand, display the unique capacity to form cartilage in vivo spontaneously, in addition to an assayable osteogenic capacity. These data suggest the need to revise current misconceptions on the origin and function of so-called 'MSCs,' with important applicative implications. The data also support the view that rather than a uniform class of 'MSCs,' different mesoderm derivatives include distinct classes of tissue-specific committed progenitors, likely of different developmental origin. The anatomical identity of 'mesenchymal stem cells', (MSCs) their phenotype, their distribution in the different tissues, their lineage, their physiological functions and biological properties represent one of the most controversial and confusing areas in stem cell biology. The definition of the origin, anatomy, function and biological properties of so-called MSCs has obvious implications both for understanding their biology and for their use in potential therapies. We have previously identified a minimal surface phenotype suited not only to enrich for the archetypal human 'MSCs' in uncultured bone marrow cell suspensions, but also to correlate their ex vivo-assayed clonogenic capacity with their in situ identity and in vivo fate following tranplantation (Sacchetti et al., 2007). Stromal cell strains were established from four different tissue sources: bone marrow (BM), skeletal muscle (MU), periosteum (PE), and perinatal blood-borne cord blood (CB) cells. For all post-natal tissue sources, clonogenic cells were prospectively isolated based on a minimal surface phenotype as previously described for human BMSCs (CD34-/CD45-/CD146+); colonies of CB-derived stromal cells were established as described (Kluth et al., 2010; Kogler et al., 2004). Of note, CD146 identified a clonogenic subset in MU (presented below) and PE (data not shown), as it does in BM. Multi-clonal strains derived from growth of the originally explanted cells were then expanded under identical culture conditions; all resulting cell strains exhibited the canonical in vitro cell surface markers regarded as characteristic of 'MSCs'. In order to characterize the specificity and functional significance of the cell surface phenotype of 'MSCs' that is widely regarded as a defining feature of 'MSCs' across tissues, we performed gene expression profiling using Affimetrix technology.

Project description:Studies investigating the role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in mammary carcinogenesis have almost exclusively relied on isolates from bone marrow aspirates or non-breast fat sources often making the general assumption that all MSCs are alike. Here we conduct the first extensive analysis of human breast adipose MSCs to define similarities and differences to MSCs isolated from non-breast sources (subcutaneous abdominal tissue) and bone marrow.

Project description:Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult cells that can be isolated from different tissues. The current hypothesis supports that the main MSCs action mechanism relates to its paracrine activity, creating a microenvironment with trophic signals. However, preclinical studies with different sources of MSCs and different animal models have shown conflicting results. Therefore, the evaluation of these cells secretome content is of great interest. Here we analyzed the secreted proteins of MSCs, isolated from 3 different sources (adipose tissue, uterine tubes and skeletal muscle), obtained from 5 different donors. Following MSCs characterization, proteins secreted in serum-free conditions (conditioned media, CM) were analyzed by mass-spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics.
