Project description:In the present study we analyzed the effect of cellular senescence on the transcriptome of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC; alternatively named mesenchymal stromal cells) from bone marrow. Human MSC were isolated from femoral heads of non-osteoporotic donors after total hip arthroplasty. Cells were isolated from human bone marrow according to the previously described protocol (Noth et al., 2002, J Orthop Res, 20/5, 1060-1069) under agreement of the local Ethics Committee of the University of Würzburg. Bone marrow was obtained of femoral heads after total hip arthroplasty due to osteoarthritis and/or hip dysplasia. MSC were replated after reaching 70-90% confluence until they entered state of cellular senescence. RNA samples of control cells were taken from passage 1 or passage 2.

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) were isolated from human bone marrow. Here, we have compared gene expression profiles of MSC at early and late passages and upon stimulation with transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-b1). Stimulation was performed with 1ng/mL TGF-b1 for 1, 4, or 12 hours as indicated. The goal of this study was to determine if senescence-associated gene expression changes and TGF-b1 induced gene expression changes are related. 24 samples were hybridized GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST Arrays (Affymetrix)
Project description:Multilineage-differentiating stress enduring (Muse) cells are nontumorigenic endogenous pluripotent-like stem cells easily collected from various adult or fetal tissues. The tissue regenerative effects of Muse cells have been demonstrated in many disease models, as they reach damaged sites after intravenous injection to exert pleiotropic effects. Previous reports indicate that several human tissues are readily accessible for Muse cell isolation, including adult tissues such as bone marrow (BM) and embryonic tissues such as Wharton’s Jelly (WJ) from umbilical cord. Wa analyzed the protein repertoires of WJ-Muse and BM-Muse using mass spectrometry-based proteomics.
Project description:The classical concept of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC), intended as a uniform, broad potent population, is progressively being substituted by the idea that the bone marrow harbors heterogeneous populations of non-hematopoietic stem cells. This in vivo heterogeneity is also amplified by the different experimental strategies used to isolate/culture them. Among the exogenous factors described to affect MSC in vitro growth, basic-fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is one of the most common growth factors used to expand stem cells. Moreover, it has been reported that its signaling is associated with the mainteinance of stemness of a variety of stem cells, included MSC. Using an ectopic model of bone regeneration, we have previously described that the implantation of cells with different commitment levels, differentially influences the capacity to recruit host cells, activating endogenous regenerative mechanisms. Due to its properties, we here demonstrate that the addition of bFGF to primary BM cultures, leads to the selection of specific subpopulations able to induce a different host regenerative response, when in vivo implanted in association with suitable ceramic scaffolds. Moreover, taking advantage of a multiparametric and comparative genomic and proteomic approach, it has been evaluated how different culture conditions combine to bring about appreciable changes in the secretome of the cells, that consequently influence their in vivo regenerative behaviour. The full comprehension of the regulatory mechanisms that rule the host response depending on the type and differentiative stage of the transplanted cells could help us to develop novel clinical strategies where host cells could directly contribute to regenerate the appropriate tissue. Comparison of bFGF effects on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
Project description:In the present study we analyzed the effect of primary osteoporosis on the transcriptome of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC; alternatively named mesenchymal stromal cells) from human bone marrow. Human MSC of elderly patients suffering from osteoporosis were isolated from femoral heads after low-energy fracture of the femoral neck. Bone marrow of age-matched, non-osteoporotic donors was obtained of femoral heads after total hip arthroplasty. Cells were isolated from human bone marrow according to the previously described protocol (Noth et al., 2002, J Orthop Res, 20/5, 1060-1069) under agreement of the local Ethics Committee of the University of Würzburg. Human MSC of elderly patients suffering from osteoporosis were isolated from femoral heads after low-energy fracture of the femoral neck. Additional criteria for confirming primary osteoporosis in these donors were vertebrae fractures and advanced age. Bone marrow of age-matched, non-osteoporotic donors was obtained of femoral heads after total hip arthroplasty due to osteoarthritis and/or hip dysplasia. RNA samples were taken from passage 1 or passage 2.
