Human stem cells transplanted into the rat stroke brain migrate to the spleen via lymphatic and inflammation pathways.

ABSTRACT: Despite mounting evidence of a massive peripheral inflammatory response accompanying stroke, the ability of intracerebrally transplanted cells to migrate to the periphery and sequester systemic inflammation remains unexamined. Here, we tested the hypothesis that human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells intracerebrally transplanted in the brain of adult rats subjected to experimental stroke can migrate to the spleen, a vital organ that confers peripheral inflammation after stroke. Sham or experimental stroke was induced in adult Sprague-Dawley rats by a 1 hour middle cerebral artery occlusion model. One hour after surgery, rats were intracerebrally injected with human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (3×105/9 ?L), then euthanized on day 1, 3, or 7 for immunohistochemical assays. Cell migration assays were performed for human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells using Boyden chambers with the bottom plate consisting of microglia, lymphatic endothelial cells, or both, and treated with different doses of tumor necrosis factor-?. Plates were processed in a fluorescence reader at different time points. Immunofluorescence microscopy on different days after the stroke revealed that stem cells engrafted in the stroke brain but, interestingly, homed to the spleen via lymphatic vessels, and were propelled by inflammatory signals. Experiments using human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells co-cultured with lymphatic endothelial cells or microglia, and treated with tumor necrosis factor-?, further indicated the key roles of the lymphatic system and inflammation in directing stem cell migration. This study is the first to demonstrate brain-to-periphery migration of stem cells, advancing the novel concept of harnessing the lymphatic system in mobilizing stem cells to sequester peripheral inflammation as a brain repair strategy.

Project description:Genes upregulated in stroke infiltrating stem cells were compared against the parent non-infiltrated mouse stem cell line derived from immortomouseTM. Abstract Background and Purpose- Although the therapeutic potential of bone marrow-derived stem cells (SC) has been addressed in different experimental models of ischemic stroke, it is still unclear how SC induce neuroprotection following stroke. In this study, we describe a novel method for recovering SC infiltrating post-stroke brain tissue allowing the determination of genes which become persistently activated / or depressed (compared to their naïve counterparts) during SC-mediated neuroprotection. Methods- Ischemic stroke was induced in C57BL/6 mice by middle cerebral artery occlusion for 1 h, followed by reperfusion. SC were isolated from H-2Kb-tsA58 (immortomouseTM) mice, and were administered (i.v.) 24 h after reperfusion. At the onset of therapeutic improvement (14 days after ischemia), infarcted brain tissue was isolated and infarct-infiltratng SC cultured at 33°C. Microarray analysis and RT-PCR were performed to compare persistent differential gene expression between naïve and infiltrating SC populations. Results- Z-scoring revealed dramatic changes in extracellular genes of analyzed cells. Pair-wise analysis detected 80 extracellular factor genes that were up-regulated ( 2 fold, P<0.05, Benjamini-Hochberg correction) between naïve and infiltrated SC. Although several conventional neuroregenerative, nerve guidance and angiogenic factors (bFGF, bone morphogenetic protein, angiopoietins, neural growth factors were among the expressed genes detected we identified Cytokine receptor-like factor 1 (Crlf1), Fgf7, family with sequence similarity 19, member A5 (Fam19a5), Glypican 1 (Gpc1), Dickkopf homolog 2 (Dkk2), Endothelial cell-specific molecule 1, Osteopontin (OPN)35, Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2, Masp3 mRNA for MBL-associated serine protease-3, Glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor (Gdnf), Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (Bmp2), Olfactomedin 1, Sushi-repeat-containing protein, X-linked 2 (Srpx2). Conclusions- SC infiltrating the post-i schemic brain assume a persistently altered pattern of expressed extracellular genes compared to naïve SC that contributes to neuroprotection, regeneration and angiogenesis in infarcts. Keywords: Gene activation / suppression study Comparison of persistent stem cell gene expression induced by stroke-infarct infiltration
