Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Are Functionally and Genetically Different From Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells.

ABSTRACT: There has been considerable interest in the generation of functional mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) preparations from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and this is now regarded as a potential source of unlimited, standardized, high-quality cells for therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine. Although iMSCs meet minimal criteria for defining MSCs in terms of marker expression, there are substantial differences in terms of trilineage potential, specifically a marked reduction in chondrogenic and adipogenic propensity in iMSCs compared with bone marrow-derived (BM) MSCs. To reveal the cellular basis underlying these differences, we conducted phenotypic, functional, and genetic comparisons between iMSCs and BM-MSCs. We found that iMSCs express very high levels of both KDR and MSX2 compared with BM-MSCs. In addition, BM-MSCs had significantly higher levels of PDGFR?. These distinct gene expression profiles were maintained during culture expansion, suggesting that prepared iMSCs are more closely related to vascular progenitor cells (VPCs). Although VPCs can differentiate along the chondrogenic, osteogenic, and adipogenic pathways, they require different inductive conditions compared with BM-MSCs. These observations suggest to us that iMSCs, based on current widely used preparation protocols, do not represent a true alternative to primary MSCs isolated from BM. Furthermore, this study highlights the fact that high levels of expression of typical MSC markers such as CD73, CD90, and CD105 are insufficient to distinguish MSCs from other mesodermal progenitors in differentiated induced pluripotent stem cell cultures.

Project description:Ruxolitinib is a JAK2/JAK1 inhibitor that blocks the inflammatory JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Ruxolitinib has been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of steroid-resistant acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Ruxolitinib's effect on inflammatory cells of hematopoietic origin is known. However, its effect on nonhematopoietic cell types with immune-modulating and antigen-presenting cell competency plausibly involved in pathogenesis of GVHD has not been explored. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are CD45- nonhematopoietic cells of the bone marrow with immune modulatory functions in vivo. MSCs' immunobiology largely depends on their responsiveness to IFNγ. We aimed to define the effect of ruxolitinib on the immunobiology of MSCs that are modulated by IFNγ. Human bone marrow derived MSCs, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and primary bone marrow aspirates were analyzed for their sensitivity to ruxolitinib-mediated blocking of IFNγ-induced STAT-1 phosphorylation and downstream effector molecules, utilizing Western blot, flow cytometry, secretome analysis, and phosflow techniques. IFNγ-induced cytostatic effects on MSCs are reversed by ruxolitinib. Ruxolitinib inhibits IFNγ and secretome of activated peripheral PBMC-induced STAT-1 phosphorylation on human bone marrow derived MSCs. In addition, ruxolitinib inhibits IFNγ-induced pro-GVHD pathways on MSCs, which includes HLAABC(MHCI), HLADR(MHCII), CX3CL1, and CCL2. IFNγ-induced immunosuppressive molecules IDO and PDL-1 were also inhibited by ruxolitinib on MSCs. Comparative analysis with PBMCs has demonstrated that MSCs are as equal as to HLADR+ PBMC populations in responding to ruxolitinib-mediated inhibition of IFNγ-induced STAT-1 phosphorylation. Ex vivo analysis of human marrow aspirates has demonstrated that ruxolitinib blocks IFNγ-induced STAT-1 phosphorylation in CD45+/-HLADR+/- populations at different levels, which is depending on their sensitivity to IFNγ responsiveness. These results inform the hypothesis that ruxolitinib's immune-modulatory effects in vivo may pharmacologically involve marrow and tissue-resident MSCs. Ruxolitinib affects the immunobiology of MSCs equivalent to professional HLADR+ antigen presenting cells, which collectively mitigate GVHD.

Project description:Purpose:This study is aimed at investigating the phenotype, differentiation potential, immunomodulatory properties, and responsiveness of saphenous vein vessel wall-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (SV-MSCs) to various TLR ligands and proinflammatory cytokines, as well as comparing their features to those of their bone marrow-derived counterparts (BM-MSCs). Methods:SV-MSCs were isolated by enzymatic digestion of the saphenous vein vessel wall. Phenotype analysis was carried out by flow cytometry and microscopy, whereas adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic differentiation potentials were tested in in vitro assays. For comparative analysis, the expression of different stemness, proliferation, and differentiation-related genes was determined by Affymetrix gene array. To compare the immunomodulatory properties of SV-MSCs and BM-MSCs, mixed lymphocyte reaction was applied. To investigate their responses to various activating stimuli, MSCs were treated with TLR ligands (LPS, PolyI:C) or proinflammatory cytokines (TNF?, IL-1?, IFN?), and the expression of various early innate immune response-related genes was assessed by qPCR, while secretion of selected cytokines and chemokines was measured by ELISA. Results:The isolated SV-MSCs were able to differentiate into bone, fat, and cartilage cells/direction in vitro. SV-MSCs expressed the most important MSC markers (CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, and CD105) and shared almost identical phenotypic characteristics with BM-MSCs. Their gene expression pattern and activation pathways were close to those of BM-MSCs. SV-MSCs showed better immunosuppressive activity inhibiting phytohemagglutinin-induced T lymphocyte proliferation in vitro than BM-MSCs. Cellular responses to treatments mimicking inflammatory conditions were comparable in the bone marrow- and saphenous vein-derived MSCs. Namely, similar to BM-MSCs, SV-MSCs secreted increased amount of IL-6 and IL-8 after 12- or 24-hour treatment with LPS, PolyI:C, TNF?, or IL-1?, compared to untreated controls. Interestingly, a different CXCL-10/IP-10 secretion pattern could be observed under inflammatory conditions in the two types of MSCs. Conclusion:Based on our results, cells isolated from saphenous vein vessel wall fulfilled the ISCT's (International Society for Cellular Therapy) criteria for multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells, and no significant differences in the phenotype, gene expression pattern, and responsiveness to inflammatory stimuli could be observed between BM-MSCs and SV-MSCs, while the latter cells have more potent immunosuppressive activity in vitro. Further functional assays have to be performed to reveal whether SV-MSCs could be useful for certain regenerative therapeutic applications or tissue engineering purposes.
