Human Cardiac Mesenchymal Stromal Cells with CD105+CD34- Phenotype Enhance the Function of Post-Infarction Heart in Mice.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The aim of the present study was to isolate mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) with CD105+CD34- phenotype from human hearts, and to investigate their therapeutic potential in a mouse model of hindlimb ischemia and myocardial infarction (MI). The study aimed also to investigate the feasibility of xenogeneic MSCs implantation.

Methods and results

MSC isolated from human hearts were multipotent cells. Separation of MSC with CD105+CD34- phenotype limited the heterogeneity of the originally isolated cell population. MSC secreted a number of anti-inflammatory and proangiogenic cytokines (mainly IL-6, IL-8, and GRO). Human MSC were transplanted into C57Bl/6NCrl mice. Using the mouse model of hindlimb ischemia it was shown that human MSC treated mice demonstrated a higher capillary density 14 days after injury. It was also presented that MSC administrated into the ischemic muscle facilitated fast wound healing (functional recovery by ischemic limb). MSC transplanted into an infarcted myocardium reduced the post-infarction scar, fibrosis, and increased the number of blood vessels both in the border area, and within the post-infarction scar. The improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction was also observed.

Conclusion

In two murine models (hindlimb ischemia and MI) we did not observe the xenotransplant rejection. Indeed, we have shown that human cardiac mesenchymal stromal cells with CD105+CD34- phenotype exhibit therapeutic potential. It seems that M2 macrophages are essential for healing and repair of the post-infarcted heart.

Project description:Background—Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown therapeutic potency for treating cardiovascular diseases, but their therapeutic efficacy shows significant heterogeneity depending on their tissue of origin. We herein sought to identify the optimal source of MSCs for cardiovascular disease therapy. Methods—Heart- and bone marrow (BM)-derived GFP+ cells positive for the MSCs marker, Nestin, were flow cytometrically sorted from 7-day-postnatal Nestin-GFP transgenic mice. To study their biological characteristics in vitro, we characterized their self-renewal capacity, multi-lineage differentiation ability, and surface markers. To investigate their therapeutic potential in vivo, we intramyocardially injected Nestin+ cells (3×105) into the infarct border zone of mice subjected to acute myocardial infarction (MI), and performed echocardiography and Masson’s-Trichrome staining at 1 and 3 weeks post-MI. We characterized gene profiles with RNA-sequencing analysis, and analyzed the putative reparative mechanism, that of Periostin-mediated M2 macrophages polarization, by immunofluorescence staining, qPCR, ELISA, and flow cytometry in vivo and in vitro. Results—In vitro, the heart- and BM-derived Nestin+ cells (Nes+cMSCs and Nes+bmMSCs, respectively) were found to possess self-renewal ability, show similar tri-lineage differentiation potentials, and express some MSCs-related surface markers. Importantly, Nes+cMSCs significantly improved cardiac function, attenuated left ventricular (LV) remodeling, and decreased infarct size in the mouse MI model, compared with Nes+bmMSCs- or saline-treated MI controls. Nes+cMSC treatment notably reduced the total number of CD68+ pan-macrophages while inducing the polarization of macrophages toward an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype in ischemic myocardium, compared with the saline-treated MI control. Periostin, which was highly expressed in Nes+cMSCs, could promote the polarization of M2-subtype macrophages in vitro and in vivo. Finally, Periostin knockdown remarkably reduced the therapeutic effects of Nes+cMSCs, inhibiting the survival and LV remodeling of MI model mice and significantly decreasing the number of M2 macrophages at lesion sites. Conclusions—Nestin+ cMSCs have greater efficacy than Nestin+ bmMSCs for cardiac repair following acute MI, using a reparative mechanism that acts at least partly through Periostin-mediated M2 macrophage polarization.

Project description:BackgroundTreatment of heart failure post myocardial infarction (post-MI HF) with mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) holds great promise. Nevertheless, 2-dimensional (2D) GMP-grade MSCs from different labs and donor sources have different therapeutic efficacy and still in a low yield. Therefore, it is crucial to increase the production and find novel ways to assess the therapeutic efficacy of MSCs.Materials and methodshUC-MSCs were cultured in 3-dimensional (3D) expansion system for obtaining enough cells for clinical use, named as 3D MSCs. A post-MI HF mouse model was employed to conduct in vivo and in vitro experiments. Single-cell and bulk RNA-seq analyses were performed on 3D MSCs. A total of 125 combination algorithms were leveraged to screen for core ligand genes. Shinyapp and shinycell workflows were used for deploying web-server.Result3D GMP-grade MSCs can significantly and stably reduce the extent of post-MI HF. To understand the stable potential cardioprotective mechanism, scRNA-seq revealed the heterogeneity and division-of-labor mode of 3D MSCs at the cellular level. Specifically, scissor phenotypic analysis identified a reported wound-healing CD142+ MSCs subpopulation that is also associated with cardiac protection ability and CD142- MSCs that is in proliferative state, contributing to the cardioprotective function and self-renewal, respectively. Differential expression analysis was conducted on CD142+ MSCs and CD142- MSCs and the differentially expressed ligand-related model was achieved by employing 125 combination algorithms. The present study developed a machine learning predictive model based on 13 ligands. Further analysis using CellChat demonstrated that CD142+ MSCs have a stronger secretion capacity compared to CD142- MSCs and Flow cytometry sorting of the CD142+ MSCs and qRT-PCR validation confirmed the significant upregulation of these 13 ligand factors in CD142+ MSCs.ConclusionClinical GMP-grade 3D MSCs could serve as a stable cardioprotective cell product. Using scissor analysis on scRNA-seq data, we have clarified the potential functional and proliferative subpopulation, which cooperatively contributed to self-renewal and functional maintenance for 3D MSCs, named as "division of labor" mode of MSCs. Moreover, a ligand model was robustly developed for predicting the secretory efficacy of MSCs. A user-friendly web-server and a predictive model were constructed and available (https://wangxc.shinyapps.io/3D_MSCs/).
