Role of lineage-specific matrix in stem cell chondrogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Cartilage repair in clinics is a challenge owing to the limited regenerative capacities of cartilage. Synovium-derived stem cells (SDSCs) are suggested as tissue-specific stem cells for chondrogenesis. In this study, we hypothesize that decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) deposited by SDSCs could provide a superior tissue-specific matrix microenvironment for optimal rejuvenation of adult SDSCs for cartilage regeneration. dECMs were deposited by adult stem cells with varying chondrogenic capacities; SDSCs (strong) (SECM), adipose-derived stem cells (weak) (AECM) and dermal fibroblasts (weak) (DECM), and urine-derived stem cells (none) (UECM). Plastic flasks (Plastic) were used as a control substrate. Human SDSCs were expanded on the above substrates for one passage and examined for chondrogenic capacities. We found that each dECM consisted of unique matrix proteins and exhibited varied stiffnesses, which affected cell morphology and elasticity. Human SDSCs grown on dECMs displayed a significant increase in cell proliferation and unique surface phenotypes. Under induction media, dECM expanded cells yielded pellets with a dramatically increased number of chondrogenic markers. Interestingly, SECM expanded cells had less potential for hypertrophy compared to those grown on other dECMs, indicating that a tissue-specific matrix might provide a superior microenvironment for stem cell chondrogenic differentiation.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative condition that involves the production of inflammatory cytokines (e.g., interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6)) that stimulate degradative enzymes, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and aggrecanases (ADAMTS) resulting in articular cartilage breakdown. The presence of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is one reason for poor clinical outcomes in current cell-based tissue engineering strategies for treating focal early osteoarthritic defects. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a potential cell source for articular cartilage regeneration, although IL-1β has been shown to inhibit in vitro chondrogenesis. In vivo, articular chondrocytes reside under a low oxygen environment between 2-5% oxygen (physioxia) and have been shown to enhance in vitro MSC chondrogenic matrix content with reduced hypertrophic marker expression under these conditions. The present investigation sought to understand the effect of physioxia on IL-1β inhibited MSC chondrogenesis. MSCs expanded under physioxic (2% oxygen) and hyperoxic (20%) conditions, then chondrogenically differentiated as pellets in the presence of TGF-β1 and either 0.1 or 0.5 ng/mL IL-1β. Results showed that there were donor variations in response to physioxic culture based on intrinsic GAG content under hyperoxia. In physioxia responsive donors, MSC chondrogenesis significantly increased GAG and collagen II content, whilst hypertrophic markers were reduced compared with hyperoxia. In the presence of IL-1β, these donors showed a significant increase in cartilage matrix gene expression and GAG content relative to hyperoxic conditions. In contrast, a set of MSC donors were unresponsive to physioxia and showed no significant increase in matrix production independent of IL-1β presence. Thus, physioxia has a beneficial effect on MSC cartilage matrix production in responsive donors with or without IL-1β application. The mechanisms controlling the MSC chondrogenic response in both physioxia responsive and unresponsive donors are to be elucidated in future investigations.
