Low-Dose Ionizing ?-Radiation Promotes Proliferation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Maintains Their Stem Cell Characteristics.

ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which are multipotent and have self-renewal ability, support the regeneration of damaged normal tissue. A number of external stimuli promote migration of MSCs into peripheral blood and support their participation in wound healing. In an attempt to harness the potential beneficial effects of such external stimuli, we exposed human MSCs (hMSCs) to one such stimulus-low-dose ionizing radiation (LDIR)-and examined their biological properties. To this end, we evaluated differences in proliferation, cell cycle, DNA damage, expression of surface markers (CD29, CD34, CD90, and CD105), and differentiation potential of hMSCs before and after irradiation with ?-rays generated using a ¹³⁷CS irradiator. At doses less than 50 mGy, LDIR had no significant effect on the viability or apoptosis of hMSCs. Interestingly, 10 mGy of LDIR increased hMSC viability by 8% (p < 0.001) compared with non-irradiated hMSCs. At doses less than 50 mGy, LDIR did not induce DNA damage, including DNA strand breaks, or cause cellular senescence or cell-cycle arrest. Surface marker expression and in vitro differentiation potential of hMSCs were maintained after two exposures to LDIR at 10 mGy per dose. In conclusion, a two-dose exposure to LDIR at 10 mGy per dose not only facilitates proliferation of hMSCs, it also maintains the stem cell characteristics of hMSCs without affecting their viability. These results provide evidence for the potential of LDIR as an external stimulus for in vitro expansion of hMSCs and application in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Project description:Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that respond rapidly to a number of stressors to regulate energy transduction, cell death signaling, and reactive oxygen species generation. We hypothesized that mitochondrial remodeling, comprising both structural and functional alterations, following ionizing radiation (IR) may underlie some of the tenets of radiobiology. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are precursors of bone marrow stroma and are altered in acute myeloid leukemia and by radiation and chemotherapy. Here, we report on changes in mitochondrial remodeling in human MSCs following X-ray IR. Mitochondrial function was significantly increased in MSCs 4 h after IR as measured by mitochondrial oxygen consumption. Consistent with this elevated functional effect, electron transport chain supercomplexes were also increased in irradiated samples. In addition, mitochondria were significantly, albeit modestly, elongated, as measured by high-throughput automated confocal imaging coupled with automated mitochondrial morphometric analyses. We also demonstrate in fibroblasts that mitochondrial remodeling is required for the adaptation of cells to IR. To determine novel mechanisms involved in mitochondrial remodeling, we performed quantitative proteomics on isolated mitochondria from cells following IR. Label-free quantitative mitochondrial proteomics revealed notable changes in proteins in irradiated samples and identified prosaposin, and potentially its daughter protein saposin-B, as a potential candidate for regulating mitochondrial function following IR. Whereas research into the biologic effects of cellular irradiation has long focused on nuclear DNA effects, our experimental work, along with that of others, is finding that mitochondrial effects may have broader implications in the field of stress adaptation and cell death in cancer (including leukemia) and other disease states.-Patten, D.
