A pair of cell preservation solutions for therapy with human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells.

ABSTRACT: Introduction:Stem cells for therapy are often suspended in a preservation solution, such as normal saline or lactated Ringer's solution, for a short time before intravenous infusion. However, these solutions are not necessarily ideal for maintaining cell viability and preventing the sedimentation of cells during storage and infusion. In this study, we attempted to optimize the compositions of preservation solutions, which could affect the efficacy and safety of stem cell therapy. Methods:We determined the characteristics of a preservation solution that would optimize cell viability and the percentage of cells in the supernatant using human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hADSCs). We compared solutions that differed by electrolytes (e.g., normal saline and Ringer's solution) and the concentrations of dextran 40 and trehalose. The effects of the solutions on hADSCs were evaluated by assessing cell surface markers, colony-forming capacity, differentiation potential, and cell concentrations in the infusion line. Results:Optimized preservation solutions consisted of lactated Ringer's solution with 3% trehalose without or with 5% dextran 40 (LR-3T and LR-3T-5D, respectively). The cell viabilities after 24 h of storage at 5 °C in LR-3T and LR-3T-5D were 94.9% ± 2.4% and 97.6% ± 2.4%, respectively. The percentage of cells in the supernatant after 1 h of storage at room temperature in LR-3T-5D was 83.5% ± 7.6%. These solutions preserved the percentage of cell surface marker-positive cells, the colony-forming capacity, and the adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation ability in hADSCs for at least 24 h after preservation at 5 °C and 25 °C. Discussion:We determined the optimal composition of preservation solutions for hADSCs and confirmed the effects of these solutions on cell viability and the stability of cell characteristics in vitro. Our results suggest that LR-3T and LR-3T-5D can help maintain the quality of stem cells for therapy during preservation and infusion. However, further in vivo research is needed on the efficacy and safety of the solutions in different therapeutic cell lines before clinical use.

Project description:ObjectiveRecent advances in cell therapy have encouraged researchers to provide an alternative for treatment and restoration of damaged liver through using hepatocytes. However, these cells quickly lose their functional capabilities in vitro. Here, we aim to use the secretome of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to improve in vitro maintenance conditions for hepatocytes.Materials and methodsIn this experimental study, following serum deprivation, human adipose tissue-derived MSCs (hAT-MSCs) were cultured for 24 hours under normoxic (N) and hypoxic (H) conditions. Their conditioned media (CM) were subsequently collected and labeled as N-CM (normoxia) and H-CM (hypoxia). Murine hepatocytes were isolated by perfusion of mouse liver with collagenase, and were cultured in hepatocyte basal (William's) medium supplemented with 4% N-CM or H-CM. Untreated William's and hepatocyte-specific media (HepZYM) were used as controls. Finally, we evaluated the survival and proliferation rates, as well as functionality and hepatocyte-specific gene expressions of the cells.ResultsWe observed a significant increase in viability of hepatocytes in the presence of N-CM and H-CM compared to HepZYM on day 5, as indicated by MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)- 2H-tetrazolium) assay. Indocyanine green (ICG) uptake of hepatocytes in the H-CM and HepZYM groups on days 3 and 5 also suggested that H-CM maintained the hepatocytes at about the same level as the hepatocyte-specific medium. The HepZYM group had significantly higher levels of albumin (Alb) and urea secretion compared to the other groups (P<0.0001). However, there were no significant differences in cytochrome activity and cytochrome gene expression profiles among these groups. Finally, we found a slightly, but not significantly higher concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the H-CM group compared to the N-CM group (P=0.063).ConclusionThe enrichment of William's basal medium with 4% hAT-MSC-H-CM improved some physiologic parameters in a primary hepatocyte culture.
