Human Tonsil-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Maintain Proliferating and ROS-Regulatory Properties via Stanniocalcin-1.

ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from various sources exhibit different potential for stemness and therapeutic abilities. Recently, we reported a unique MSCs from human palatine tonsil (TMSCs) and their superior proliferation capacity compared to MSCs from other sources. However, unique characteristics of each MSC are not yet precisely elucidated. We investigated the role of stanniocalcin-1 (STC1), an anti-oxidative hormone, in the functions of TMSCs. We found that STC1 was highly expressed in TMSC compared with MSCs from bone marrow or adipose tissue. The proliferation, senescence and differentiation of TMSCs were assessed after the inhibition of STC1 expression. STC1 inhibition resulted in a significant decrease in the proliferation of TMSCs and did not affect the differentiation potential. To reveal the anti-oxidative ability of STC1 in TMSCs themselves or against other cell types, the generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) in TMSC or ROS-mediated production of interleukin (IL)-1? from macrophage-like cells were detected. Interestingly, the basal level of ROS generation in TMSCs was significantly elevated after STC1 inhibition. Moreover, down-regulation of STC1 impaired the inhibitory effect of TMSCs on IL-1? production in macrophages. Taken together, these findings indicate that STC1 is highly expressed in TMSCs and plays a critical role in proliferating and ROS-regulatory abilities.

Project description:Purpose:This study is aimed at investigating the phenotype, differentiation potential, immunomodulatory properties, and responsiveness of saphenous vein vessel wall-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (SV-MSCs) to various TLR ligands and proinflammatory cytokines, as well as comparing their features to those of their bone marrow-derived counterparts (BM-MSCs). Methods:SV-MSCs were isolated by enzymatic digestion of the saphenous vein vessel wall. Phenotype analysis was carried out by flow cytometry and microscopy, whereas adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic differentiation potentials were tested in in vitro assays. For comparative analysis, the expression of different stemness, proliferation, and differentiation-related genes was determined by Affymetrix gene array. To compare the immunomodulatory properties of SV-MSCs and BM-MSCs, mixed lymphocyte reaction was applied. To investigate their responses to various activating stimuli, MSCs were treated with TLR ligands (LPS, PolyI:C) or proinflammatory cytokines (TNF?, IL-1?, IFN?), and the expression of various early innate immune response-related genes was assessed by qPCR, while secretion of selected cytokines and chemokines was measured by ELISA. Results:The isolated SV-MSCs were able to differentiate into bone, fat, and cartilage cells/direction in vitro. SV-MSCs expressed the most important MSC markers (CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, and CD105) and shared almost identical phenotypic characteristics with BM-MSCs. Their gene expression pattern and activation pathways were close to those of BM-MSCs. SV-MSCs showed better immunosuppressive activity inhibiting phytohemagglutinin-induced T lymphocyte proliferation in vitro than BM-MSCs. Cellular responses to treatments mimicking inflammatory conditions were comparable in the bone marrow- and saphenous vein-derived MSCs. Namely, similar to BM-MSCs, SV-MSCs secreted increased amount of IL-6 and IL-8 after 12- or 24-hour treatment with LPS, PolyI:C, TNF?, or IL-1?, compared to untreated controls. Interestingly, a different CXCL-10/IP-10 secretion pattern could be observed under inflammatory conditions in the two types of MSCs. Conclusion:Based on our results, cells isolated from saphenous vein vessel wall fulfilled the ISCT's (International Society for Cellular Therapy) criteria for multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells, and no significant differences in the phenotype, gene expression pattern, and responsiveness to inflammatory stimuli could be observed between BM-MSCs and SV-MSCs, while the latter cells have more potent immunosuppressive activity in vitro. Further functional assays have to be performed to reveal whether SV-MSCs could be useful for certain regenerative therapeutic applications or tissue engineering purposes.

Project description:BackgroundMesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been extensively used in the clinic due to their exquisite tissue repair capacity. However, they also hold promise in the field of cellular vaccination as they can behave as conditional antigen presenting cells in response to interferon (IFN)-gamma treatment under a specific treatment regimen. This suggests that the immune function of MSCs can be pharmacologically modulated. Given the capacity of the agonist pyrimido-indole derivative UM171a to trigger the expression of various antigen presentation-related genes in human hematopoietic progenitor cells, we explored the potential use of UM171a as a means to pharmacologically instill and/or promote antigen presentation by MSCs.MethodsBesides completing a series of flow-cytometry-based phenotypic analyses, several functional antigen presentation assays were conducted using the SIINFEKL-specific T-cell clone B3Z. Anti-oxidants and electron transport chain inhibitors were also used to decipher UM171a's mode of action in MSCs. Finally, the potency of UM171a-treated MSCs was evaluated in the context of therapeutic vaccination using immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice with pre-established syngeneic EG.7T-cell lymphoma.ResultsTreatment of MSCs with UM171a triggered potent increase in H2-Kb cell surface levels along with the acquisition of antigen cross-presentation abilities. Mechanistically, such effects occurred in response to UM171a-mediated production of mitochondrial-derived reactive oxygen species as their neutralization using anti-oxidants or Antimycin-A mitigated MSCs' ability to cross-present antigens. Processing and presentation of the immunogenic ovalbumin-derived SIINFEKL peptide was caused by de novo expression of the Psmb8 gene in response to UM171a-triggered oxidative stress. When evaluated for their anti-tumoral properties in the context of therapeutic vaccination, UM171a-treated MSC administration to immunocompetent mice with pre-established T-cell lymphoma controlled tumor growth resulting in 40% survival without the need of additional supportive therapy and/or standard-of-care.ConclusionsAltogether, our findings reveal a new immune-related function for UM171a and clearly allude to a direct link between UM171a-mediated ROS induction and antigen cross-presentation by MSCs. The fact that UM171a treatment modulates MSCs to become antigen-presenting cells without the use of IFN-gamma opens-up a new line of investigation to search for additional agents capable of converting immune-suppressive MSCs to a cellular tool easily adaptable to vaccination.

Project description:BackgroundStem cell therapies can be a new therapeutic strategy that may rebalance anabolic and anti-resorptive effects in osteoporosis patients. Tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cells (TMSCs) can be an alternative therapeutic source for chronic degenerative diseases including osteoporosis. MSCs acquire immune regulatory function under the inflammatory cytokines. Since interleukin (IL) 1β is known to be one of inflammatory cytokines involved in osteoporosis progression, treatment of IL1β with TMSCs may enhance immunomodulatory function and therapeutic effects of TMSCs in osteoporosis.MethodsFor IL1β priming, TMSCs were cultured in the presence of the medium containing IL1β for 1 day. Characteristics of IL1β priming TMSCs such as multipotent differentiation properties, anti-inflammatory potential, and suppression of osteoclast differentiation were assessed in vitro. For in vivo efficacy study, IL1β priming TMSCs were intravenously infused twice with ovariectomized (OVX) osteoporosis mouse model, and blood serum and bone parameters from micro computed tomography images were analyzed.ResultsIL1β priming TMSCs had an enhanced osteogenic differentiation and secreted factors that regulate both osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis. IL1β priming TMSCs also suppressed proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and decreased expression of Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) in PHA-stimulated PBMCs. Furthermore, osteoclast specific genes such as Nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1) were effectively down regulated when co-cultured with IL1β priming TMSCs in RANKL induced osteoclasts. In OVX mice, IL1β priming TMSCs induced low level of serum RANKL/osteoprotegerin (OPG) ratio on the first day of the last administration. Four weeks after the last administration, bone mineral density and serum Gla-osteocalcin were increased in IL1β priming TMSC-treated OVX mice. Furthermore, bone formation and bone resorption markers that had been decreased in OVX mice with low calcium diet were recovered by infusion of IL1β priming TMSCs.ConclusionIL1β priming can endow constant therapeutic efficacy with TMSCs, which may contribute to improve bone density and maintain bone homeostasis in postmenopausal osteoporosis. Therefore, IL1β priming TMSCs can be a new therapeutic option for treating postmenopausal osteoporosis.
