Combinatorial conditioning of adipose derived-mesenchymal stem cells enhances their neurovascular potential: Implications for intervertebral disc degeneration.

ABSTRACT: Background:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are becoming an increasingly attractive option for regenerative therapies due to their availability, self-renewal capacity, multilineage potential, and anti-inflammatory properties. Clinical trials are underway to test the efficacy of stem cell-based therapies for the repair and regeneration of the degenerate intervertebral disc (IVD), a major cause of back pain. Recently, both bone marrow-derived MSCs and adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) have been assessed for IVD therapy but there is a lack of knowledge surrounding the optimal cell source and the response of transplanted cells to the low oxygen, pro-inflammatory niche of the degenerate disc. Here, we investigated several neurovascular factors from donor-matched MSCs and ASCs that may potentiate the survival and persistence of sensory nerve fibers and blood vessels present within painful degenerate discs and their regulation by oxygen tensions and inflammatory cytokines. Methods:Donor-matched ASCs and MSCs were conditioned with either IL-1? or TNF? under normoxic (21% O2) or hypoxic (5% O2) conditions. Expression and secretion of several potent neurovascular factors were assessed using qRT-PCR and human magnetic Luminex assay. Results:ASCs and MSCs expressed constitutive levels of key neurotrophic factors; and stimulation of ASCs with hypoxia triggered increased secretion of both angiogenic factors (Ang-2 and VEGF-A) and neurotrophic (NGF and NT-3) compared to MSCs. We also report increased transcriptional regulation of pain-associated neuropeptides in hypoxia stimulated ASCs compared to those in normoxic conditions. We demonstrate transcriptional and translational upregulation of NGF, NT-3, Ang-1, and FGF-2 in response to cytokines in ASCs in 21% and 5% O2. Conclusions:This work highlights fundamental differences between the neurovascular secretome of donor-matched ASCs and MSCs, demonstrating the importance of cell-selection for tissue specific regeneration to reduce ectopic sensory nerve and blood vessel survival and improve patient outcomes.

Project description:As a controllable biological process, regulated cell death (RCD) extensively participates in cellular homeostasis, organismal development, and the pathogenesis of diseases. This review addresses the research gaps by synthesising the findings on the complexity of RCD modes and their role in disc degeneration, and summarises the preclinical strategies to alleviate disc degeneration and promote disc repair by regulating RCD.BackgroundIntervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the major source of chronic low back pain. As a controllable biological process, regulated cell death (RCD) extensively participates in the pathogenesis of IDD. Nevertheless, the initiation and progression of RCD remain unclear, and more importantly, the interaction between different RCD modes during IDD and therapy is far from well understood.MethodsLiterature search was performed using "regulated cell death AND intervertebral disc degeneration" in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. Meanwhile, relevant findings have been reviewed and quoted.ResultsIn this review, we discuss the inducing factors of IDD, various modes of RCD in intervertebral disc, the interactions between different RCD modes, as well as the obstacles to achieve disc regeneration. Meanwhile, the research gaps and perspective in studies that targeting RCD are also presented.ConclusionIncreasing evidence demonstrated the presence of different RCD modes in intervertebral disc during the progression of IDD. RCD in the resident disc cells is probably induced by the multiple factors such as abnormal mechanical loading, nutritional imbalance, inflammation microenvironment, circadian rhythm changes, withdraw of hormones, and other biomechanical factors. A better understanding of the fundamental mechanisms and the interactions between different RCD modes might contribute to the rescuing of disc degeneration and development of promising therapeutics.Translational potential statementThe Translational potential of this article. This review aims to demonstrate a better understanding of the fundamental mechanisms governing RCD, which might contribute to the rescuing of disc degeneration and to the development of promising therapeutics in a clinical setting.
