Mesenchymal Stromal Cells from Perinatal Tissues as an Alternative for Ex Vivo Expansion of Hematopoietic Progenitor and Stem Cells from Umbilical Cord Blood.

ABSTRACT: Umbilical cord blood (UCB) serves as a source of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) utilized in the regeneration of hematopoietic and immune systems, forming a crucial part of the treatment for various benign and malignant hematological diseases. UCB has been utilized as an alternative HSPC source to bone marrow (BM). Although the use of UCB has extended transplantation access to many individuals, it still encounters significant challenges in selecting a histocompatible UCB unit with an adequate cell dose for a substantial proportion of adults with malignant hematological diseases. Consequently, recent research has focused on developing ex vivo expansion strategies for UCB HSPCs. Our results demonstrate that co-cultures with the investigated mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) enable a 10- to 15-fold increase in the cellular dose of UCB HSPCs while partially regulating the proliferation capacity when compared to HSPCs expanded with early acting cytokines. Furthermore, the secretory profile of UCB-derived MSCs closely resembles that of BM-derived MSCs. Moreover, both co-cultures exhibit alterations in cytokine secretion, which could potentially impact HSPC proliferation during the expansion process. This study underscores the fact that UCB-derived MSCs possess a remarkably similar supportive capacity to BM-derived MSCs, implying their potential use as feeder layers in the ex vivo expansion process of HSPCs.

Project description:BackgroundMesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are of great therapeutic value due to their role in maintaining the function of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). MSCs derived from human pluripotent stem cells represent an ideal alternative because of their unlimited supply. However, the role of MSCs with neural crest origin derived from HPSCs on the maintenance of HSPCs has not been reported.MethodsFlow cytometric analysis, RNA sequencing and differentiation ability were applied to detect the characteristics of stromal cells from 3D human brain organoids. Human umbilical cord blood CD34+ (UCB-CD34+) cells were cultured in different coculture conditions composed of stromal cells and umbilical cord MSCs (UC-MSCs) with or without a cytokine cocktail. The hematopoietic stroma capacity of stromal cells was tested in vitro with the LTC-IC assay and in vivo by cotransplantation of cord blood nucleated cells and stroma cells into immunodeficient mice. RNA and proteomic sequencing were used to detect the role of MSCs on HSPCs.ResultsThe stromal cells, derived from both H1-hESCs and human induced pluripotent stem cells forebrain organoids, were capable of differentiating into the classical mesenchymal-derived cells (osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes). These cells expressed MSC markers, thus named pluripotent stem cell-derived MSCs (pMSCs). The pMSCs showed neural crest origin with CD271 expression in the early stage. When human UCB-CD34+ HSPCs were cocultured on UC-MSCs or pMSCs, the latter resulted in robust expansion of UCB-CD34+ HSPCs in long-term culture and efficient maintenance of their transplantability. Comparison by RNA sequencing indicated that coculture of human UCB-CD34+ HSPCs with pMSCs provided an improved microenvironment for HSC maintenance. The pMSCs highly expressed the Wnt signaling inhibitors SFRP1 and SFRP2, indicating that they may help to modulate the cell cycle to promote the maintenance of UCB-CD34+ HSPCs by antagonizing Wnt activation.ConclusionsA novel method for harvesting MSCs with neural crest origin from 3D human brain organoids under serum-free culture conditions was reported. We demonstrate that the pMSCs support human UCB-HSPC expansion in vitro in a long-term culture and the maintenance of their transplantable ability. RNA and proteomic sequencing indicated that pMSCs provided an improved microenvironment for HSC maintenance via mechanisms involving cell-cell contact and secreted factors and suppression of Wnt signaling. This represents a novel method for large-scale production of MSCs of neural crest origin and provides a potential approach for development of human hematopoietic stromal cell therapy for treatment of dyshematopoiesis.
