The effect of platelet lysate in culture of PDLSCs: an in vitro comparative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cellular therapy clinical applications require large-scale production of stem cells. Therefore, abundance, ease of isolation, and proliferative potential are the most important factors in choosing the appropriate source of cells for transplantation studies. Multipotent stem cells obtained from periodontal ligament (PDL) can be used in periodontal tissue regeneration. In this study, we aimed to evaluate and compare the characteristics of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), extracted by either enzymatic digestion or explant methods, and expanded using two different serum types: fetal bovine serum (FBS) and xeno-free platelet lysate (PL).

Methods

Expanded PDLSCs were assessed for their proliferation capacity, surface markers expression, colony formation, differentiation potential and ability to self-renewal. Most importantly, PDLSCs were evaluated for their ability to produce osteoblasts in vitro.

Results

PDLSCs isolated by explant method and expanded in PL serve as a promising source of stem cells for osteoblasts regeneration. These cells showed higher proliferation capacity, they retained their stemness characteristics throughout the passages and they revealed an increase in the expression level of osteogenic markers, without showing any karyotypic abnormalities after cell expansion.

Conclusions

PDLSCs produced using explant extraction method and expanded in cell culture media supplemented with PL provide an excellent source of xeno-free cells for the generation of functional osteoblasts.

Project description:Translation of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-based therapies is advancing in human and veterinary medicine. One critical issue is the in vitro culture of MSC before clinical use. Using fetal bovine serum (FBS) as supplement to the basal medium is still the gold standard for cultivation of many cell types including equine MSC. Alternatives are being explored, with substantial success using platelet lysate-supplemented media for human MSC. However, progress lags behind in the veterinary field. The aim of this study was to establish a scalable protocol for equine platelet lysate (ePL) production and to test the ePL in equine MSC culture. Whole blood was harvested into blood collection bags from 20 healthy horses. After checking sample materials for pathogen contamination, samples from 19 animals were included. Platelet concentrates were prepared using a buffy coat method. Platelets, platelet-derived growth factor BB, and transforming growth factor β1 concentrations were increased in the concentrates compared with whole blood or serum (p < 0.05), while white blood cells were reduced (p < 0.05). The concentrates were lysed using freeze/thaw cycles, which eliminated the cells while growth factor concentrations were maintained. Donor age negatively correlated with platelet and growth factor concentrations after processing (p < 0.05). Finally, all lysates were pooled and the ePL was evaluated as culture medium supplement in comparison with FBS, using adipose-derived MSC from four unrelated donor horses. MSC proliferated well in 10% FBS as well as in 10% ePL. However, using 5 or 2.5% ePL entailed highly inconsistent proliferation or loss of proliferation, with significant differences in generation times and confluencies (p < 0.05). MSC expressed the surface antigens CD90, CD44, and CD29, but CD73 and CD105 detection was low in all culture media. Adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation led to similar results in MSC from different culture media. The buffy coat method is useful to produce equine platelet concentrate with increased platelet and reduced white blood cell content in large scales. The ePL obtained supports MSC expansion similar as FBS when used at the same concentration (10%). Further investigations into equine MSC functionality in culture with ePL should follow.
