The influence of IL-10 and TNF? on chondrogenesis of human mesenchymal stromal cells in three-dimensional cultures.

ABSTRACT: Chondrogenic differentiated mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a promising cell source for articular cartilage repair. This study was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of two three-dimensional (3D) culture systems for chondrogenic MSC differentiation in comparison to primary chondrocytes and to assess the effect of Interleukin (IL)-10 and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)? on chondrogenesis by MSCs in 3D high-density (H-D) culture. MSCs were isolated from femur spongiosa, characterized using a set of typical markers and introduced in scaffold-free H-D cultures or non-woven polyglycolic acid (PGA) scaffolds for chondrogenic differentiation. H-D cultures were stimulated with recombinant IL-10, TNF?, TNF? + IL-10 or remained untreated. Gene and protein expression of type II collagen, aggrecan, sox9 and TNF? were examined. MSCs expressed typical cell surface markers and revealed multipotency. Chondrogenic differentiated cells expressed cartilage-specific markers in both culture systems but to a lower extent when compared with articular chondrocytes. Chondrogenesis was more pronounced in PGA compared with H-D culture. IL-10 and/or TNF? did not impair the chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs. Moreover, in most of the investigated samples, despite not reaching significance level, IL-10 had a stimulatory effect on the type II collagen, aggrecan and TNF? expression when compared with the respective controls.

Project description:BackgroundContinuous low-intensity ultrasound (cLIUS) facilitates the chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in the absence of exogenously added transforming growth factor-beta (TGF?) by upregulating the expression of transcription factor SOX9, a master regulator of chondrogenesis. The present study evaluated the molecular events associated with the signaling pathways impacting SOX9 gene and protein expression under cLIUS.MethodsHuman bone marrow-derived MSCs were exposed to cLIUS stimulation at 14?kPa (5?MHz, 2.5 Vpp) for 5?min. The gene and protein expression of SOX9 was evaluated. The specificity of SOX9 upregulation under cLIUS was determined by treating the MSCs with small molecule inhibitors of select signaling molecules, followed by cLIUS treatment. Signaling events regulating SOX9 expression under cLIUS were analyzed by gene expression, immunofluorescence staining, and western blotting.ResultscLIUS upregulated the gene expression of SOX9 and enhanced the nuclear localization of SOX9 protein when compared to non-cLIUS-stimulated control. cLIUS was noted to enhance the phosphorylation of the signaling molecule ERK1/2. Inhibition of MEK/ERK1/2 by PD98059 resulted in the effective abrogation of cLIUS-induced SOX9 expression, indicating that cLIUS-induced SOX9 upregulation was dependent on the phosphorylation of ERK1/2. Inhibition of integrin and TRPV4, the upstream cell-surface effectors of ERK1/2, did not inhibit the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and therefore did not abrogate cLIUS-induced SOX9 expression, thereby suggesting the involvement of other mechanoreceptors. Consequently, the effect of cLIUS on the actin cytoskeleton, a mechanosensitive receptor regulating SOX9, was evaluated. Diffused and disrupted actin fibers observed in MSCs under cLIUS closely resembled actin disruption by treatment with cytoskeletal drug Y27632, which is known to increase the gene expression of SOX9. The upregulation of SOX9 under cLIUS was, therefore, related to cLIUS-induced actin reorganization. SOX9 upregulation induced by actin reorganization was also found to be dependent on the phosphorylation of ERK1/2.ConclusionsCollectively, preconditioning of MSCs by cLIUS resulted in the nuclear localization of SOX9, phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and disruption of actin filaments, and the expression of SOX9 was dependent on the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 under cLIUS.

Project description:Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal stem cells (BMSCs) are a promising cell source for treating articular cartilage defects. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of cell seeding density within a collagen I scaffold on in vitro BMSC chondrogenesis following isolation and expansion in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) environments. It was hypothesized that both expansion protocols would produce BMSCs capable of hyaline-like chondrogenesis with an optimal seeding density of 10?×?10(6) cells/cm(3). Ovine BMSCs were isolated in a 2D environment by plastic adherence, expanded to passage two in flasks containing an expansion medium, and seeded within collagen I scaffolds at densities of 50, 10, 5, 1, and 0.5?×?10(6) BMSCs/cm(3). For 3D isolation and expansion, aspirates containing known quantities of mononucleated cells (bone marrow-derived mononucleated cells [BMNCs]) were seeded on scaffolds at 50, 10, 5, 1, and 0.5?×?10(6) BMNCs/cm(3) and cultured in the expansion medium for an equivalent duration to 2D expansion. Constructs were differentiated in vitro in the chondrogenic medium for 21 days and assessed with reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction, safranin O staining, histological scoring using the Bern Score, collagen immunofluorescence, and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) quantification. Two-dimensional-expanded BMSCs seeded at all densities were capable of proteoglycan production and displayed increased expressions of aggrecan and collagen II messenger RNA (mRNA) relative to predifferentiation controls. Collagen II deposition was apparent in scaffolds seeded at 0.5-10?×?10(6) BMSCs/cm(3). Chondrogenesis of 2D-expanded BMSCs was most pronounced in scaffolds seeded at 5-10?×?10(6) BMSCs/cm(3) based on aggrecan and collagen II mRNA, safranin O staining, Bern Score, total GAG, and GAG/deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). For 3D-expanded BMSC-seeded scaffolds, increased aggrecan and collagen II mRNA expressions relative to controls were noted with all densities. Proteoglycan deposition was present in scaffolds seeded at 0.5-50?×?10(6) BMNCs/cm(3), while collagen II deposition occurred in scaffolds seeded at 10-50?×?10(6) BMNCs/cm(3). The highest levels of aggrecan and collagen II mRNA, Bern Score, total GAG, and GAG/DNA occurred with seeding at 50?×?10(6) BMNCs/cm(3). Within a collagen I scaffold, 2D- and 3D-expanded BMSCs are capable of hyaline-like chondrogenesis with optimal cell seeding densities of 5-10?×?10(6) BMSCs/cm(3) and 50?×?10(6) BMNCs/cm(3), respectively.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Sepsis remains a source of high mortality in hospitalized patients despite proper antibiotic approaches. Encouragingly, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and their produced extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been shown to elicit anti-inflammatory effects in multiple inflammatory conditions including sepsis. However, EVs are generally released from mammalian cells in relatively low amounts, and high-yield isolation of EVs is still challenging due to a complicated procedure. To get over these limitations, vesicles very similar to EVs can be produced by serial extrusions of cells, after which they are called nanovesicles (NVs). We hypothesized that MSC-derived NVs can attenuate the cytokine storm induced by bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) in mice, and we aimed to elucidate the mechanism involved. METHODS:NVs were produced from MSCs by the breakdown of cells through serial extrusions and were subsequently floated in a density gradient. Morphology and the number of NVs were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis. Mice were intraperitoneally injected with Escherichia coli-derived OMVs to establish sepsis, and then injected with 2?×?109 NVs. Innate inflammation was assessed in peritoneal fluid and blood through investigation of infiltration of cells and cytokine production. The biodistribution of NVs labeled with Cy7 dye was analyzed using near-infrared imaging. RESULTS:Electron microscopy showed that NVs have a nanometer-size spherical shape and harbor classical EV marker proteins. In mice, NVs inhibited eye exudates and hypothermia, signs of a systemic cytokine storm, induced by intraperitoneal injection of OMVs. Moreover, NVs significantly suppressed cytokine release into the systemic circulation, as well as neutrophil and monocyte infiltration in the peritoneum. The protective effect of NVs was significantly reduced by prior treatment with anti-interleukin (IL)-10 monoclonal antibody. In biodistribution study, NVs spread to the whole mouse body and localized in the lung, liver, and kidney at 6?h. CONCLUSIONS:Taken together, these data indicate that MSC-derived NVs have beneficial effects in a mouse model of sepsis by upregulating the IL-10 production, suggesting that artificial NVs may be novel EV-mimetics clinically applicable to septic patients.
