Pro-osteogenic trophic effects by PKA activation in human mesenchymal stromal cells

ABSTRACT: Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) are able to differentiate into a wide variety of cell types, which makes them an interesting source for tissue engineering applications. On the other hand, these cells also secrete a broad panel of growth factors and cytokines that can exert trophic effects on surrounding tissues. In bone tissue engineering applications, the general assumption is that direct differentiation of hMSCs into osteoblasts accounts for newly observed bone formation in vivo. However, the secretion of bone-specific growth factors, but also pro-angiogenic factors, could also contribute to this process. We recently demonstrated that secretion of bone specific growth factors can be enhanced by treatment of hMSCs with the small molecule db-cAMP (cAMP) and here we investigate the biological activity of these secreted factors. We demonstrate that conditioned medium contains a variety of secreted growth factors, with differences between medium from basic-treated and cAMP-treated hMSCs. We show that conditioned medium from cAMP-treated hMSCs increases proliferation of various cell types and also induces osteogenic differentiation, whereas it has differential effects on migration. Microarray analysis on hMSCs exposed to conditioned medium confirmed upregulation of pathways involved in proliferation as well as osteogenic differentiation. Our data suggests that trophic factors secreted by hMSCs can be tuned for specific applications and that a good balance between differentiation on the one hand and secretion of bone trophic factors on the other, could potentially enhance bone formation for bone tissue engineering applications.

Project description:Gene Expression analysis of a differentiation timeseries of human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs) in the presence of adipogenic/osteogenic factors. hMSCs differentiate into fat cells when treated with dexamethasone (10^-6 M), insulin (10 ug/ml), rosiglitazone (10^-7 M) and IBMX (250 uM). TGFbeta (5 ng/ml) inhibits this process and redirects these cells to differentiate into bone cells. Introduction: Patients suffering from osteoporosis show an increased number of adipocytes in their bone marrow, concomitant with a reduction in the pool of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) that are able to differentiate into osteoblasts, thus leading to suppressed osteogenesis. Methods: In order be able to interfere with this process, we have investigated in vitro culture conditions whereby adipogenic differentiation of hMSCs is impaired and osteogenic differentiation is promoted. By means of gene expression microarray analysis, we have investigated genes which are potential targets for prevention of fat cell differentiation. Results: Our data show that BMP2 promotes both adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs, while TGFÎ² inhibits differentiation into both lineages. However, when cells are cultured under adipogenic differentiation conditions, which contains cAMP-enhancing agents such as IBMX of PGE2, TGFÎ² promotes osteogenic differentiation, while at the same time inhibiting adipogenic differentiation. Gene expression and immunoblot analysis indicated that cAMP-induced suppression of HDAC5 levels plays an important role in the inhibitory effect of TGFÎ² on osteogenic differentiation. By means of gene expression microarray analysis, we have investigated genes which are downregulated by TGFÎ² under adipogenic differentiation conditions and may therefore be potential targets for prevention of fat cell differentiation. We thus identified 9 genes for which FDA-approved drugs are available. Our results show that drugs directed against the nuclear hormone receptor PPARG, the metalloproteinase ADAMTS5 and the aldo-keto reductase AKR1B10 inhibit adipogenic differentiation in a dose-dependent manner, although in contrast to TGFÎ² they do not appear to promote osteogenic differentiation. Conclusions: The approach chosen in this study has resulted in the identification of new targets for inhibition of fat cell differentiation, which may not only be relevant for prevention of osteoporosis, but also of obesity. hMSCs were induced to differentiate in the presence dexamethasone, insulin and rosiglitazone, to which was added either 50 ng/ml BMP2; BMP2 + TGFbeta; BMP2 + IBMX; BMP2 + TGFbeta + IBMX.

Project description:Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) have an extensive potential for clinical applications in cell therapy. However, very little is known of the specific molecular regulatory mechanisms that control the therapeutical properties of these cells. We aimed to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) that could be involved in controlling the transition between the self-renewing (undifferentiated) and the reparative (differentiated) phenotypes of hMSCs. MicroRNA microarrays were used to identify miRNAs that are upregulated in undifferentiated hMSCs. For that, we compared the miRNA expression profiles of undifferentiated bone marrow-derived hMSCs with the same primary cell lines after 9 days of in vitro adipogenic or osteogenic induction. We also compared the miRNA expression profiles of undifferentiated hMSCs with skin fibroblasts (a mesenchymal cell lineage with a more restricted differentiation potential). These experiments allowed us to identify miR-335 as the only miRNA downregulated upon MSC differentiation as well as in MSCs in comparison with skin fibroblasts. Gene expression microarrays were used to identify genes that are downregulated in hMSCs overexpressing miR-335. We compared the miRNA expression profiles of hMSCs transduced with a lentiviral vector encoding miR-335 with MSCs transduced with a control lentiviral vector. Our results suggest miR-335 downregulation could be one of the triggers for the initiation of MSCs activities involved in tissue repair and remodelling, including cell migration and differentiation. We compared the miRNA expression profiles of undifferentiated bone marrow-derived hMSCs with the same primary cell lines after 9 days of adipogenic or osteogenic induction, as well as with skin fibroblasts. A total of four independent samples were used for each condition. For the adipogenic/osteogenic vs. undifferentiated MSC comparison, the RNA samples were pooled (two independent samples/pool) before labeling. We also compared the miRNA expression profiles of hMSCs transduced with the lentiviral vector pLV-EmGFP-MIRN335 with MSCs transduced with the control vector pLV-EmGFP-Mock. For the gene expression microarrays, a total of three independent samples were used for each condition.
