Mesenchymal stromal cells from infants with simple polydactyly modulate immune responses more efficiently than adult mesenchymal stromal cells.

ABSTRACT: Bone marrow-derived stromal cells or mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs or MSCs, as we will call them in this work) are multipotent progenitor cells that can differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocytes. In addition, MSCs have been shown to modulate the function of a variety of immune cells. Donor age has been shown to affect the regenerative potential, differentiation, proliferation and anti-inflammatory potency of MSCs; however, the impact of donor age on their immunosuppressive activity is unknown. In this study, we evaluated the ability of MSCs derived from very young children and adults on T-cell suppression and cytokine secretion by monocytes/macrophages. MSCs were obtained from extra digits of children between 10 and 21 months and adults between 28 and 64 years of age. We studied cell surface marker expression, doubling time, lineage differentiation potential and immunosuppressive function of the MSCs. Young MSCs double more quickly and differentiate into bone and fat cells more efficiently than those from older donors. They also form more and dense colonies of fibroblasts (colony forming unit-fibroblast [CFU-F]). MSCs from both young and adult subjects suppressed T-cell proliferation in a mitogen-induced assay at 1:3 and 1:30 ratios. At a 1:30 ratio, however, MSCs from adults did not, but MSCs from infants did suppress T-cell proliferation. In the mixed lymphocyte reaction assay, MSCs from infants produced similar levels of suppression at all three MSC/T-cell ratios, but adult MSCs only inhibited T-cell proliferation at a 1:3 ratio. Cytokine analyses of co-cultures of MSCs and macrophages showed that both adult and young MSCs suppress tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-?) and induce interleukin-10 (IL-10) production in macrophage co-culture assay in a similar manner. Overall, this work shows that developing MSCs display a higher level of immunosuppression than mature MSCs.

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) application in Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced myocarditis reduces myocardial inflammation and fibrosis, exerts prominent extra-cardiac immunomodulation, and improves heart function. Although the abovementioned findings demonstrate the benefit of MSC application, the mechanism of the MSC immunomodulatory effects leading to a final cardioprotective outcome in viral myocarditis remains poorly understood. Monocytes are known to be a trigger of myocardial tissue inflammation. The present study aims at investigating the direct effect of MSC on the mobilization and trafficking of monocytes to the heart in CVB3-induced myocarditis. One day post CVB3 infection, C57BL/6 mice were intravenously injected with 1 x 106 MSC and sacrificed 6 days later for molecular biology and flow cytometry analysis. MSC application reduced the severity of myocarditis, and heart and blood pro-inflammatory Ly6Chigh and Ly6Cmiddle monocytes, while those were retained in the spleen. Anti-inflammatory Ly6Clow monocytes increased in the blood, heart, and spleen of MSC-treated CVB3 mice. CVB3 infection induced splenic myelopoiesis, while MSC application slightly diminished the spleen myelopoietic activity in CVB3 mice. Left ventricular (LV) mRNA expression of the chemokines monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP)-1, MCP-3, CCL5, the adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6, interleukin-12, tumor necrosis factor-α, the pro-fibrotic transforming growth factorβ1, and circulating MCP-1 and MCP-3 levels decreased in CVB3 MSC mice, while LV stromal cell-derived factor-1α RNA expression and systemic levels of fractalkine were increased in CVB3 MSC mice. MSC application in CVB3-induced myocarditis modulates monocytes trafficking to the heart and could be a promising strategy for the resolution of cardiac inflammation and prevention of the disease progression.

Project description:BackgroundMesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) can regenerate tissues through engraftment and differentiation but also via paracrine signalling via extracellular vesicles (EVs). Fetal-derived MSCs (fMSCs) have been shown, both in vitro and in animal studies, to be more efficient than adult MSC (aMSCs) in generating bone and muscle but the underlying reason for this difference has not yet been clearly elucidated. In this study, we aimed to systematically investigate the differences between fetal and adult MSCs and MSC-derived EVs at the phenotypic, RNA, and protein levels.MethodsWe carried out a detailed and comparative characterization of culture-expanded fetal liver derived MSCs (fMSCs) and adult bone marrow derived MSCs (aMSCs) phenotypically, and the MSCs and MSC-derived EVs were analysed using transcriptomics and proteomics approaches with RNA Sequencing and Mass Spectrometry.ResultsFetal MSCs were smaller, exhibited increased proliferation and colony-forming capacity, delayed onset of senescence, and demonstrated superior osteoblast differentiation capability compared to their adult counterparts. Gene Ontology analysis revealed that fMSCs displayed upregulated gene sets such as "Positive regulation of stem cell populations", "Maintenance of stemness" and "Muscle cell development/contraction/Myogenesis" in comparison to aMSCs. Conversely, aMSCs displayed upregulated gene sets such as "Complement cascade", "Adipogenesis", "Extracellular matrix glycoproteins" and "Cellular metabolism", and on the protein level, "Epithelial cell differentiation" pathways. Signalling entropy analysis suggested that fMSCs exhibit higher signalling promiscuity and hence, higher potency than aMSCs. Gene ontology comparisons revealed that fetal MSC-derived EVs (fEVs) were enriched for "Collagen fibril organization", "Protein folding", and "Response to transforming growth factor beta" compared to adult MSC-derived EVs (aEVs), whereas no significant difference in protein expression in aEVs compared to fEVs could be detected.ConclusionsThis study provides detailed and systematic insight into the differences between fMSCs and aMSCs, and MSC-derived EVs. The key finding across phenotypic, transcriptomic and proteomic levels is that fMSCs exhibit higher potency than aMSCs, meaning they are in a more undifferentiated state. Additionally, fMSCs and fMSC-derived EVs may possess greater bone forming capacity compared to aMSCs. Therefore, using fMSCs may lead to better treatment efficacy, especially in musculoskeletal diseases.
