Manufacturing autologous myoblast for regenerative medicine applications.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Autologous myoblasts have been tested in the treatment of muscle-related diseases. However, the standardization of manufacturing myoblasts is still not established. Here we report a flask and animal-free medium-based method of manufacturing clinical-grade myoblast together with establishing releasing criteria for myoblast products under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

Methods

Quadriceps muscle biopsy samples were donated from three patients with myogenic ptosis. After biopsy samples were digested through enzymatic dissociation, the cells were grown in T175 flasks (passage 0) and hyperflasks (passage 1) in the animal-free SkGM^TM-2 skeletal muscle cell growth medium containing 5% human platelet lysate for 15-17 days. The harvested cells were released based on cell morphology, cell dose, viability, sterility, endotoxin, mycoplasma and immunophenotype. Myotube differentiation was also evaluated.

Results

400 to 500 million myoblast cells were manufactured within 15 to 17 days by the end of passage 1, which met pre-determined releasing criteria. The manufactured myoblast cells could differentiate and fuse into myotubes in vitro, with the possible trend that the donor age may impact the differentiation ability of myoblasts.

Conclusions

The present study establishes a flask-based method of manufacturing myoblast in the animal-free medium together with releasing criteria, which is simple, robust, inexpensive and easily reproducible. This study will serve as the validation for a planned phase 1 clinical trial to assess the use of autologous myoblast transplants for the treatment of myogenic ptosis and other myogenic diseases.

Pluripotent stem cell applications for regenerative medicine.

Project description:In this review, we summarize the current status of clinical trials using therapeutic cells produced from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). We also discuss combined cell and gene therapy via correction of defined mutations in human pluripotent stem cells and provide commentary on key obstacles facing widescale clinical adoption of pluripotent stem cell-based therapy.Initial data suggest that hESC/hiPSC-derived cell products used for retinal repair and spinal cord injury are safe for human use. Early-stage studies for treatment of cardiac injury and diabetes are also in progress. However, there remain key concerns regarding the safety and efficacy of these cells that need to be addressed in additional well designed clinical trials. Advances using the clustered regulatory interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 gene-editing system offer an improved tool for more rapid and on-target gene correction of genetic diseases. Combined gene and cell therapy using human pluripotent stem cells may provide an additional curative approach for disabling or lethal genetic and degenerative diseases wherein there are currently limited therapeutic opportunities.Human pluripotent stem cells are emerging as a promising tool to produce cells and tissues suitable for regenerative therapy for a variety of genetic and degenerative diseases.

Recombinant Resilin-Based Bioelastomers for Regenerative Medicine Applications.

Project description:The outstanding elasticity, excellent resilience at high-frequency, and hydrophilic capacity of natural resilin have motivated investigations of recombinant resilin-based biomaterials as a new class of bio-elastomers in the engineering of mechanically active tissues. Accordingly, here the comprehensive characterization of modular resilin-like polypeptide (RLP) hydrogels is presented and their suitability as a novel biomaterial for in vivo applications is introduced. Oscillatory rheology confirmed that a full suite of the RLPs can be rapidly cross-linked upon addition of the tris(hydroxymethyl phosphine) cross-linker, achieving similar in situ shear storage moduli (20 k ± 3.5 Pa) across various material compositions. Uniaxial stress relaxation tensile testing of hydrated RLP hydrogels under cyclic loading and unloading showed negligible stress reduction and hysteresis, superior reversible extensibility, and high resilience with Young's moduli of 30 ± 7.4 kPa. RLP hydrogels containing MMP-sensitive domains are susceptible to enzymatic degradation by matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1). Cell culture studies revealed that RLP-based hydrogels supported the attachment and spreading (2D) of human mesenchymal stem cells and did not activate cultured macrophages. Subcutaneous transplantation of RLP hydrogels in a rat model, which to our knowledge is the first such reported in vivo analysis of RLP-based hydrogels, illustrated that these materials do not elicit a significant inflammatory response, suggesting their potential as materials for tissue engineering applications with targets of mechanically demanding tissues such as vocal fold and cardiovascular tissues.

Umbilical cord-derived Wharton's jelly for regenerative medicine applications.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The last decade has seen an explosion in the interest in using biologics for regenerative medicine applications, including umbilical cord-derived Wharton's Jelly. There is insufficient literature assessing the amount of growth factors, cytokines, hyaluronic acid, and extracellular vesicles including exosomes in these products. The present study reports the development of a novel Wharton's jelly formulation and evaluates the presence of growth factors, cytokines, hyaluronic acid, and extracellular vesicles including exosomes. METHODS:Human umbilical cords were obtained from consenting caesarian section donors. The Wharton's jelly was then isolated from the procured umbilical cord and formulated into an injectable form. Randomly selected samples from different batches were analyzed for sterility testing and to quantify the presence of growth factors, cytokines, hyaluronic acid, and extracellular vesicles. RESULTS:All samples passed the sterility test. Growth factors including IGFBP 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6, TGF-?, and PDGF-AA were detected. Several immunomodulatory cytokines, such as RANTES, IL-6R, and IL-16, were also detected. Pro-inflammatory cytokines MCSFR, MIP-1a; anti-inflammatory cytokines TNF-RI, TNF-RII, and IL-1RA; and homeostatic cytokines TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 were observed. Cytokines associated with wound healing, ICAM-1, G-CSF, GDF-15, and regenerative properties, GH, were also expressed. High concentrations of hyaluronic acid were observed. Particles in the extracellular vesicle size range were also detected and were enclosed by the membrane, indicative of true extracellular vesicles. CONCLUSION:There are numerous growth factors, cytokines, hyaluronic acid, and extracellular vesicles present in the Wharton's jelly formulation analyzed. The amount of these factors in Wharton's jelly is higher compared with other biologics and may play a role in reducing inflammation and pain and augment healing of musculoskeletal injuries.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes: Applications in Regenerative Medicine.

Project description:Exosomes are a type of extracellular vesicles, produced within multivesicular bodies, that are then released into the extracellular space through a merging of the multivesicular body with the plasma membrane. These vesicles are secreted by almost all cell types to aid in a vast array of cellular functions, including intercellular communication, cell differentiation and proliferation, angiogenesis, stress response, and immune signaling. This ability to contribute to several distinct processes is due to the complexity of exosomes, as they carry a multitude of signaling moieties, including proteins, lipids, cell surface receptors, enzymes, cytokines, transcription factors, and nucleic acids. The favorable biological properties of exosomes including biocompatibility, stability, low toxicity, and proficient exchange of molecular cargos make exosomes prime candidates for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Exploring the functions and molecular payloads of exosomes can facilitate tissue regeneration therapies and provide mechanistic insight into paracrine modulation of cellular activities. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of exosome biogenesis, composition, and isolation methods. We also discuss emerging healing properties of exosomes and exosomal cargos, such as microRNAs, in brain injuries, cardiovascular disease, and COVID-19 amongst others. Overall, this review highlights the burgeoning roles and potential applications of exosomes in regenerative medicine.
