MSC from fetal and adult lungs possess lung-specific properties compared to bone marrow-derived MSC.

ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are multipotent cells with regenerative and immune-modulatory properties. Therefore, MSC have been proposed as a potential cell-therapy for bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). On the other hand, there are publications demonstrating that MSC might be involved in the development of BOS. Despite limited knowledge regarding the functional role of tissue-resident lung-MSC, several clinical trials have been performed using MSC, particularly bone marrow (BM)-derived MSC, for various lung diseases. We aimed to compare lung-MSC with the well-characterized BM-MSC. Furthermore, MSC isolated from lung-transplanted patients with BOS were compared to patients without BOS. Our study show that lung-MSCs are smaller, possess a higher colony-forming capacity and have a different cytokine profile compared to BM-MSC. Utilizing gene expression profiling, 89 genes including lung-specific FOXF1 and HOXB5 were found to be significantly different between BM-MSC and lung-MSC. No significant differences in cytokine secretion or gene expression were found between MSC isolated from BOS patients compared recipients without BOS. These data demonstrate that lung-resident MSC possess lung-specific properties. Furthermore, these results show that MSC isolated from lung-transplanted patients with BOS do not have an altered phenotype compared to MSC isolated from good outcome recipients.

Project description:BackgroundMesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have gained importance in tissue repair, tissue engineering and in immunosupressive therapy during the last years. Due to the limited availability of MSC in the bone marrow, ex vivo amplification prior to clinical application is requisite to obtain therapeutic applicable cell doses. Translation of preclinical into clinical-grade large-scale MSC expansion necessitates precise definition and standardization of all procedural parameters including cell seeding density, culture medium and cultivation devices. While xenogeneic additives such as fetal calf serum are still widely used for cell culture, its use in the clinical context is associated with many risks, such as prion and viral transmission or adverse immunological reactions against xenogeneic components.Methods and findingsWe established animal-free expansion protocols using platelet lysate as medium supplement and thereby could confirm its safety and feasibility for large-scale MSC isolation and expansion. Five different GMP-compliant standardized protocols designed for the safe, reliable, efficient and economical isolation and expansion of MSC was performed and MSC obtained were analyzed for differentiation capacity by qPCR and histochemistry. Expression of standard MSC markers as defined by the International Society for Cellular Therapy as well as expression of additional MSC markers and of various chemokine and cytokine receptors was analysed by flow cytometry. Changes of metabolic markers and cytokines in the medium were addressed using the LUMINEX platform.ConclusionsThe five different systems for isolation and expansion of MSC described in this study are all suitable to produce at least 100 millions of MSC, which is commonly regarded as a single clinical dose. Final products are equal according to the minimal criteria for MSC defined by the ISCT. We showed that chemokine and integrin receptors analyzed had the same expression pattern, suggesting that MSC from either of the systems show equal characteristics of homing and adhesion.

Project description:BackgroundRobust and reliable in vitro and in vivo models of primary cells are necessary to study the pathomechanisms of Myelodysplastic Neoplasms (MDS) and identify novel therapeutic strategies. MDS-derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are reliant on the support of bone marrow (BM) derived mesenchymal stroma cells (MSCs). Therefore, isolation and expansion of MCSs are essential for successfully modeling this disease. For the clinical use of healthy MSCs isolated from human BM, umbilical cord blood or adipose tissue, several studies showed that xeno-free (XF) culture conditions resulted in superior growth kinetics compared to MSCs cultured in the presence of fetal bovine serum (FBS). In this present study, we investigate, whether the replacement of a commercially available MSC expansion medium containing FBS with a XF medium is beneficial for the expansion of MSCs derived from BM of MDS patients which are often difficult to cultivate.MethodsMSCs isolated from BM of MDS patients were cultured and expanded in MSC expansion medium with FBS or XF supplement. Subsequently, the impact of culture media on growth kinetics, morphology, immunophenotype, clonogenic potential, differentiation capacity, gene expression profiles and ability to engraft in immunodeficient mouse models was evaluated.ResultsSignificant higher cell numbers with an increase in clonogenic potential were observed during culture of MDS MSCs with XF medium compared to medium containing FBS. Differential gene expression showed an increase in transcripts associated with MSC stemness after expansion with XF. Furthermore, immunophenotypes of the MSCs and their ability to differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes or chondroblasts remained stable. MSCs expanded with XF media were similarly supportive for creating MDS xenografts in vivo as MSCs expanded with FBS.ConclusionOur data indicate that with XF media, higher cell numbers of MDS MSCs can be obtained with overall improved characteristics in in vitro and in vivo experimental models.
