Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Effects of Human Adipose-Derived Stromal Cells.

ABSTRACT: Introduction:Many pathological conditions may benefit from cell therapy using mesenchymal stromal cells, particularly from adipose tissue (ASCs). Cells may be grafted in an environment with a remnant polymicrobial component. The aim is to investigate the behavior of ASCs when brought in contact with a large panel of bacteria. Materials and Methods:Carboxyfluorescein-labelled bacterial interaction with ASCs was followed by confocal time-lapse microscopy. Costaining with LAMP-1 was also analyzed. Viability of 4 gram-negative and 4 gram-positive bacterial strains after 6?h of coculture with ASCs was assessed by agar colony counting and by flow cytometry using SYTO-62®/propidium iodide (PI) for membrane permeabilization and DiOC6 for depolarization. A murine model of periodontitis was used to assess in vivo antibacterial capacities of ASCs. Results:A significant increase of PI-positive events for all bacterial strains and an increase of the DiOC6 signal were obtained after contact with ASCs. The number of CFU was also significantly decreased for several bacterial strains. 0.4 ?m transwell systems illustrated the necessary direct contact to induce maximal bacterial membrane damages. Some bacteria were observed into phagolysosomes, confirming macrophage-like properties of ASCs. In vivo, the bacterial load was significantly lower in the ASC-grafted side compared to the control. Conclusion:Our results highlight for the first time a broad range of antibacterial actions of ASCs, by phagocytosis, secretion of oxygenated free radicals and antibacterial molecules. These data are in line with the development of new therapeutic strategies based on ASC transplantation, appropriated in immune-dysbiotic tissue context such as periodontitis or chronic wounds.

Project description:BackgroundA paracrine mechanism is thought to mediate the proangiogenic capacity of adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs). However, the precise mechanism by which ASCs promote the formation of blood vessels by endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is unclear.MethodsThe EPCs-ASCs cocultures prepared in different ratios were subjected to tube formations assay to verify whether ASCs could directly participate in the tube genesis. The supernatant from cultured ASCs was used to stimulate EPCs to evaluate the effects on the angiogenic property of EPCs, as well as capacity for migration and invasion. A coculture model with transwell chamber were used to explore the regulation of angiogenesis markers expression in EPCs by ASCs. We then mixed ASCs with EPCs and transplanted them with adipose tissue into nude mice to evaluate the effects on angiogenesis in adipose tissue grafts.ResultsIn the EPCs-ASCs cocultures, the tube formation was significantly decreased as the relative abundance of ASCs increased, while the ASCs was found to migrate and integrated into the agglomerates formed by EPCs. The supernatant from ASCs cultures promoted the migration and invasion of EPCs and the ability to form capillary-like structures. The expression of multiple angiogenesis markers in EPCs were significantly increased when cocultured with ASCs. In vivo, ASCs combined with EPC promoted vascularization in the fat transplant. Immunofluorescence straining of Edu and CD31 indicated that the Edu labeled EPC did not directly participate in the vascularization inside the fat tissue.ConclusionsADSC can participate in the tube formation of EPC although it cannot form canonical capillary structures. Meanwhile, Soluble factors secreted by ASCs promotes the angiogenic potential of EPCs. ASCs paracrine signaling appears to promote angiogenesis by increasing the migration and invasion of EPCs and simultaneously upregulating the expression of angiogenesis markers in EPCs. The results of in vivo experiments showed that ASCs combined with EPCs significantly promote the formation of blood vessels in the fat implant. Remarkably, EPCs may promote angiogenesis by paracrine regulation of endogenous endothelial cells (ECs) rather than direct participation in the formation of blood vessels.

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.
