Design of experiments to assess the effect of culture parameters on the osteogenic differentiation of human adipose stromal cells.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Human adipose-derived stromal cells (hASCs) have been gaining increasing popularity in regenerative medicine thanks to their multipotency, ease of collection, and efficient culture. Similarly to other stromal cells, their function is particularly sensitive to the culture conditions, including the composition of the culture medium. Given the large number of parameters that can play a role in their specification, the rapid assessment would be beneficial to allow the optimization of their culture parameters.

Method

Herein we used the design of experiments (DOE) method to rapidly screen the influence and relevance of several culture parameters on the osteogenic differentiation of hASCs. Specifically, seven cell culture parameters were selected for this study based on a literature review. These parameters included the source of hASCs (the different providers having different methods for processing the cells prior to their external use), the source of serum (fetal bovine serum vs. human platelet lysate), and several soluble osteoinductive factors, including dexamethasone and a potent growth factor, the bone morphogenetic protein-9 (BMP-9). The expression of alkaline phosphatase was quantified as a readout for the osteogenic differentiation of hASCs.

Results

The DOE analysis enabled to classify the seven studied parameters according to their relative influence on the osteogenic differentiation of hASCs. Notably, the source of serum was found to have a major effect on the osteogenic differentiation of hASCs as well as their origin (different providers) and the presence of L-ascorbate-2-phosphate and BMP-9.

Conclusion

The DOE-based screening is a valuable approach for the classification of the impact of several cell culture parameters on the osteogenic differentiation of hASCs.

Project description:BackgroundTherapeutic efficacy of various mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) types for orthopaedic applications is currently being investigated. While the concept of MSC therapy is well grounded in the basic science of healing and regeneration, little is known about individual MSC populations in terms of their propensity to promote the repair and/or regeneration of specific musculoskeletal tissues. Two promising MSC sources, adipose and amnion, have each demonstrated differentiation and extracellular matrix (ECM) production in the setting of musculoskeletal tissue regeneration. However, no study to date has directly compared the differentiation potential of these 2 MSC populations.PurposeTo compare the ability of human adipose- and amnion-derived MSCs to undergo osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation.Study designControlled laboratory study.MethodsMSC populations from the human term amnion were quantified and characterized via cell counting, histologic assessment, and flow cytometry. Differentiation of these cells in comparison to commercially purchased human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hADSCs) in the presence and absence of differentiation media was evaluated via reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for bone and cartilage gene transcript markers and histology/immunohistochemistry to examine ECM production. Analysis of variance and paired t tests were performed to compare results across all cell groups investigated.ResultsThe authors confirmed that the human term amnion contains 2 primary cell types demonstrating MSC characteristics-(1) human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) and (2) human amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells (hAMSCs)-and each exhibited more than 90% staining for MSC surface markers (CD90, CD105, CD73). Average viable hAEC and hAMSC yields at harvest were 2.3 × 106 ± 3.7 × 105 and 1.6 × 106 ± 4.7 × 105 per milliliter of amnion, respectively. As well, hAECs and hAMSCs demonstrated significantly greater osteocalcin ( P = .025), aggrecan ( P < .0001), and collagen type 2 ( P = .044) gene expression compared with hADSCs, respectively, after culture in differentiation medium. Moreover, both hAECs and hAMSCs produced significantly greater quantities of mineralized ( P < .0001) and cartilaginous ( P = .0004) matrix at earlier time points compared with hADSCs when cultured under identical osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation conditions, respectively.ConclusionAmnion-derived MSCs demonstrate a greater differentiation potential toward bone and cartilage compared with hADSCs.Clinical relevanceAmniotic MSCs may be the source of choice in the regenerative treatment of bone or osteochondral musculoskeletal disease. They show significantly higher yields and better differentiation toward these tissues than MSCs derived from adipose.

Project description:Human adipose-derived stromal cells (hASCs) represent a multipotent stromal cell type with a proven capacity to undergo osteogenic differentiation. Many hurdles exist, however, between current knowledge of hASC osteogenesis and their potential future use in skeletal tissue regeneration. The impact of frozen storage on hASC osteogenic differentiation, for example, has not been studied in detail. To examine the effects of frozen storage, hASCs were harvested from lipoaspirate and either maintained in standard culture conditions or frozen for 2 weeks under standard conditions (90% fetal bovine serum, 10% dimethyl sulfoxide). Next, in vitro parameters of cell morphology (surface electron microscopy [EM]), cell viability and growth (trypan blue; bromodeoxyuridine incorporation), osteogenic differentiation (alkaline phosphatase, alizarin red, and quantitative real-time (RT)-polymerase chain reaction), and adipogenic differentiation (Oil red O staining and quantitative RT-polymerase chain reaction) were performed. Finally, in vivo bone formation was assessed using a critical-sized cranial defect in athymic mice, utilizing a hydroxyapatite (HA)-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) scaffold for ASC delivery. Healing was assessed by serial microcomputed tomography scans and histology. Freshly derived ASCs differed significantly from freeze-thaw ASCs in all markers examined. Surface EM showed distinct differences in cellular morphology. Proliferation, and osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation were all significantly hampered by the freeze-thaw process in vitro (*P?<?0.01). In vivo, near complete healing was observed among calvarial defects engrafted with fresh hASCs. This was in comparison to groups engrafted with freeze-thaw hASCs that showed little healing (*P?<?0.01). Finally, recombinant insulin-like growth factor 1 or recombinant bone morphogenetic protein 4 was observed to increase or rescue in vitro osteogenic differentiation among frozen hASCs (*P?<?0.01). The freezing of ASCs for storage significantly impacts their biology, both in vitro and in vivo. The ability of ASCs to successfully undergo osteogenic differentiation after freeze-thaw is substantively muted, both in vitro and in vivo. The use of recombinant proteins, however, may be used to mitigate the deleterious effects of the freeze-thaw process.
