Adipose Stem Cells Display Higher Regenerative Capacities and More Adaptable Electro-Kinetic Properties Compared to Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells.

ABSTRACT: Adipose stem cells (ASCs) have recently emerged as a more viable source for clinical applications, compared to bone-marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) because of their abundance and easy access. In this study we evaluated the regenerative potency of ASCs compared to BM-MSCs. Furthermore, we compared the dielectric and electro-kinetic properties of both types of cells using a novel Dielectrophoresis (DEP) microfluidic platform based on a printed circuit board (PCB) technology. Our data show that ASCs were more effective than BM-MSCs in promoting neovascularization in an animal model of hind-limb ischemia. When compared to BM-MSCs, ASCs displayed higher resistance to hypoxia-induced apoptosis, and to oxidative stress-induced senescence, and showed more potent proangiogenic activity. mRNA expression analysis showed that ASCs had a higher expression of Oct4 and VEGF than BM-MSCs. Furthermore, ASCs showed a remarkably higher telomerase activity. Analysis of the electro-kinetic properties showed that ASCs displayed different traveling wave velocity and rotational speed compared to BM-MSCs. Interestingly, ASCs seem to develop an adaptive response when exposed to repeated electric field stimulation. These data provide new insights into the physiology of ASCs, and evidence to their potential superior potency compared to marrow MSCs as a source of stem cells.

Project description:We previously demonstrated that overexpression of tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) promotes the survival and Schwann cell-like differentiation of bone marrow stromal stem cells in nerve grafts, thereby enhancing the regeneration and functional recovery of the peripheral nerve. In the present study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective effects of TrkA in bone marrow stromal stem cells seeded into nerve grafts. Bone marrow stromal stem cells from Sprague-Dawley rats were infected with recombinant lentivirus vector expressing rat TrkA, TrkA-shRNA or the respective control. The cells were then seeded into allogeneic rat acellular nerve allografts for bridging a 1-cm right sciatic nerve defect. Then, 8 weeks after surgery, hematoxylin and eosin staining showed that compared with the control groups, the cells and fibers in the TrkA overexpressing group were more densely and uniformly arranged, whereas they were relatively sparse and arranged in a disordered manner in the TrkA-shRNA group. Western blot assay showed that compared with the control groups, the TrkA overexpressing group had higher expression of the myelin marker, myelin basic protein and the axonal marker neurofilament 200. The TrkA overexpressing group also had higher levels of various signaling molecules, including TrkA, pTrkA (Tyr490), extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (Erk1/2), pErk1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204), and the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL. In contrast, these proteins were downregulated, while the pro-apoptotic factors Bax and Bad were upregulated, in the TrkA-shRNA group. The levels of the TrkA effectors Akt and pAkt (Ser473) were not different among the groups. These results suggest that TrkA enhances the survival and regenerative capacity of bone marrow stromal stem cells through upregulation of the Erk/Bcl-2 pathway. All procedures were approved by the Animal Ethical and Welfare Committee of Shenzhen University, China in December 2014 (approval No. AEWC-2014-001219).

Project description:BACKGROUND:Bone marrow aspirate is a primary source for cell-based therapies with increasing value in the world of orthopaedic surgery, especially in revision cases of tendon and ligament repairs. However, cells within peritendinous structures, such as the paratenon and surrounding bursa, contribute to the native tendon-healing response and offer promising cell populations for cell-based repair strategies. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of cells derived from human subacromial bursa as compared with the current gold standard, bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), for tendon repairs in an established in vivo immunodeficient murine patellar tendon defect model. HYPOTHESIS:Subacromial bursal cells will show superior survival and engraftment into the host tissue as compared with BMSCs. STUDY DESIGN:Controlled laboratory study. METHODS:Human subacromial bursal and bone marrow aspirate were harvested from the same donor undergoing rotator cuff repair. Cells were transfected with a fluorescent lentiviral vector to permanently label the cells, encapsulated into fibrin gel, and implanted into bilateral full-length central-width patellar tendon defects of immunodeficient mice. Additional surgery was performed on control mice comparing fibrin without cells and natural healing. At the time of sacrifice, all limbs were scanned on a multiphoton microscope to monitor the engraftment of the human donor cells. Afterward, limbs were assigned to either immunohistochemical or biomechanical analysis. RESULTS:As compared with BMSCs, implanted subacromial bursal cells displayed superior tissue engraftment and survival. The main healing response in this defect model was the creation of new healing tissue over the anterior surface of the defect space. The implantation of cells significantly increased the thickness of the anterior healing tissue as compared with control limbs that did not receive cells. Cell proliferation was also increased in limbs that received implanted cells, suggesting that the donor cells stimulated a more robust healing response. Finally, these changes in the healing response did not lead to significant changes in mechanical properties. CONCLUSION:The subacromial bursa, while often removed during rotator cuff repair, may harbor a more suitable cell source for tendon repair than BMSCs, as bursal cells display superior engraftment and survival in tendon tissue. In addition, the subacromial bursa may be a more accessible cell source than bone marrow aspirate. CLINICAL RELEVANCE:The subacromial bursa contains a cell population that responds to tendon injury and may provide a more optimal cell source for tendon repair and regeneration strategies. Therefore, cells could be harvested from this tissue in the future, as opposed to the current practice of bursectomy and debridement.
