Mechanistic and therapeutic distinctions between cardiosphere-derived cell and mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicle non-coding RNA.

ABSTRACT: Cell therapy limits ischemic injury following myocardial infarction (MI) by preventing cell death, modulating the immune response, and promoting tissue regeneration. The therapeutic efficacy of cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is associated with extracellular vesicle (EV) release. Prior head-to-head comparisons have shown CDCs to be more effective than MSCs in MI models. Despite differences in cell origin, it is unclear why EVs from different adult stem cell populations elicit differences in therapeutic efficacy. Here, we compare EVs derived from multiple human MSC and CDC donors using diverse in vitro and in vivo assays. EV membrane protein and non-coding RNA composition are highly specific to the parent cell type; for example, miR-10b is enriched in MSC-EVs relative to CDC-EVs, while Y RNA fragments follow the opposite pattern. CDC-EVs enhance the Arg1/Nos2 ratio in macrophages in vitro and reduce MI size more than MSC-EVs and suppress inflammation during acute peritonitis in vivo. Thus, CDC-EVs are distinct from MSC-EVs, confer immunomodulation, and protect the host against ischemic myocardial injury and acute inflammation.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles and Their Therapeutic Potential.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived membrane-bound nanoparticles, which act as shuttles, delivering a range of biomolecules to diverse target cells. They play an important role in maintenance of biophysiological homeostasis and cellular, physiological, and pathological processes. EVs have significant diagnostic and therapeutic potentials and have been studied both in vitro and in vivo in many fields. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells with many therapeutic applications and have also gained much attention as prolific producers of EVs. MSC-derived EVs are being explored as a therapeutic alternative to MSCs since they may have similar therapeutic effects but are cell-free. They have applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering and, most importantly, confer several advantages over cells such as lower immunogenicity, capacity to cross biological barriers, and less safety concerns. In this review, we introduce the biogenesis of EVs, including exosomes and microvesicles. We then turn more specifically to investigations of MSC-derived EVs. We highlight the great therapeutic potential of MSC-derived EVs and applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

Therapeutic roles of mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles in cancer.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived membrane structures enclosing proteins, lipids, RNAs, metabolites, growth factors, and cytokines. EVs have emerged as essential intercellular communication regulators in multiple physiological and pathological processes. Previous studies revealed that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could either support or suppress tumor progression in different cancers by paracrine signaling via MSC-derived EVs. Evidence suggested that MSC-derived EVs could mimic their parental cells, possessing pro-tumor and anti-tumor effects, and inherent tumor tropism. Therefore, MSC-derived EVs can be a cell-free cancer treatment alternative. This review discusses different insights regarding MSC-derived EVs' roles in cancer treatment and summarizes bioengineered MSC-derived EVs' applications as safe and versatile anti-tumor agent delivery platforms. Meanwhile, current hurdles of moving MSC-derived EVs from bench to bedside are also discussed.

Enhancement of therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles.

Project description:After the initial investigations into applications of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for cell therapy, there was increased interest in their secreted soluble factors. Following studies of MSCs and their secreted factors, extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from MSCs have emerged as a new mode of intercellular crosstalk. MSC-derived EVs have been identified as essential signaling mediators under both physiological and pathological conditions, and they appear to be responsible for many of the therapeutic effects of MSCs. In several in vitro and in vivo models, EVs have been observed to have supportive functions in modulating the immune system, mainly mediated by EV-associated proteins and nucleic acids. Moreover, stimulation of MSCs with biophysical or biochemical cues, including EVs from other cells, has been shown to influence the contents and biological activities of subsequent MSC-derived EVs. This review provides on overview of the contents of MSC-derived EVs in terms of their supportive effects, and it provides different perspectives on the manipulation of MSCs to improve the secretion of EVs and subsequent EV-mediated activities. In this review, we discuss the possibilities for manipulating MSCs for EV-based cell therapy and for using EVs to affect the expression of elements of interest in MSCs. In this way, we provide a clear perspective on the state of the art of EVs in cell therapy focusing on MSCs, and we raise pertinent questions and suggestions for knowledge gaps to be filled.

Biodistribution of unmodified cardiosphere-derived cell extracellular vesicles using single RNA tracing.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are potent signalling mediators. Although interest in EV translation is ever-increasing, development efforts are hampered by the inability to reliably assess the uptake of EVs and their RNA cargo. Here, we establish a novel qPCR-based method for the detection of unmodified EVS using an RNA Tracer (DUST). In this proof-of-concept study we use a human-specific Y RNA-derived small RNA (YsRNA) we dub "NT4" that is enriched in cardiosphere-derived cell small EVs (CDC-sEVs). The assay is robust, sensitive, and reproducible. Intravenously administered CDC-sEVs accumulated primarily in the heart on a per mg basis. Cardiac injury enhanced EV uptake in the heart, liver, and brain. Inhibition of EV docking by heparin suppressed uptake variably, while inhibition of endocytosis attenuated uptake in all organs. In vitro, EVs were uptaken more efficiently by macrophages, endothelial cells, and cardiac fibroblasts compared to cardiomyocytes. These findings demonstrate the utility of DUST to assess uptake of EVs in vivo and in vitro.

Importance of cell-cell contact in the therapeutic benefits of cardiosphere-derived cells.

Project description:Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) effect therapeutic regeneration after myocardial infarction (MI) both in animal models and in humans. Here, we test the hypothesis that cell-cell contact plays a role in mediating the observed therapeutic benefits of CDCs, above and beyond conventional paracrine effects. Human CDCs or vehicle were injected into immunodeficient (SCID) mouse hearts during acute MI. CDC transplantation augmented the proportion of cycling (Ki67(+) ) cardiomyocytes and improved ventricular function. CDC-conditioned media only modestly augmented the percentage of Ki67(+) cardiomyocytes (>control but <CDCs), but did not improve pump function. When neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) were cocultured with human CDCs in vitro, the percentage of cycling NRVMs (Ki67(+) or BrdU(+) nuclei) increased relative to solitary NRVM culture. To further dissect the relative contributions of soluble factors versus contact-dependent mechanisms, we compared CDCs grown with NRVMs in a transwell contact-free system versus admixed coculture. The percentage of cycling NRVMs was higher in admixed coculture than in the contact-free system. Pretreatment with inhibitors of MEK and PI3K, or with ?1 integrin neutralizing antibody, blocked the ability of CDCs to promote myocyte cycling. While conditioned media are not inert, direct apposition of CDCs to cardiomyocytes produces greater enhancement of cardiomyocyte proliferation in vitro and in vivo, and improves function post-MI. Intact cardiomyocyte ?1 integrin signaling is necessary for the contact-dependent cardioproliferative effects of CDCs.

Clinical Application of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicle-Based Therapeutics for Inflammatory Lung Diseases.

Project description:It is currently thought that extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes and microvesicles, play an important autocrine/paracrine role in intercellular communication. EVs package proteins, mRNA and microRNA (miRNA), which have the ability to transfer biological information to recipient cells in the lungs. Depending on their origin, EVs fulfil different functions. EVs derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been found to promote therapeutic activities that are comparable to MSCs themselves. Recent animal model-based studies suggest that MSC-derived EVs have significant potential as a novel alternative to whole-cell therapies. Compared to their parent cells, EVs may have a superior safety profile and can be stored without losing function. It has been observed that MSC-derived EVs suppress pro-inflammatory processes and reduce oxidative stress, pulmonary fibrosis and remodeling in a variety of in vivo inflammatory lung disease models by transferring their components. However, there remain significant challenges to translate this therapy to the clinic. From this view point, we will summarize recent studies on EVs produced by MSCs in preclinical experimental models of inflammatory lung diseases. We will also discuss the most relevant issues in bringing MSC-derived EV-based therapeutics to the clinic for the treatment of inflammatory lung diseases.

Pooled Analysis of Mesenchymal Stromal Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicle Therapy for Liver Disease in Preclinical Models.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough increasing preclinical studies have emphasized the benefits of exosome-related therapies, the efficacy of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EV) for liver injury is unclear. In this work, a pooled analysis was conducted to explore the overall effect of MSC-EV in animal models.MethodsA systematic search of the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases was performed, from initiation to February 2022, for preclinical studies with liver disease models. The treatment outcomes were evaluated based on liver function, histological analysis, and inflammatory cytokines.ResultsAfter screening, 39 studies were included. Pooled analyses demonstrated that MSC-EV therapy significantly improved liver functions (ALB, ALT, AST, ALP, and γ-GT), promoted the repair of injured liver tissue (damaged area, Ishak's score), reduced inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IFN-γ), and increased an anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) compared to the placebo control group. Subgroup analyses indicated that MSC-EV had therapeutic effects on liver fibrosis (n = 16), acute liver injury (n = 11), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (n = 3), autoimmune hepatitis (n = 4), and hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (n = 6). Additionally, the therapeutic effect of EV was comparable to that of MSCs.ConclusionMSC-EV have therapeutic potential for acute and chronic liver diseases.

Therapeutic use of mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles in acute lung injury.

Project description:Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a major cause of respiratory failure in critically ill patients. Despite extensive research into its pathophysiology, mortality remains high. No effective pharmacotherapy exists. Based largely on numerous preclinical animal studies, administration of mesenchymal stem or stromal cell (MSC) as a therapeutic for acute lung injury (ALI) holds great promise, and Phase I and II clinical trials are currently under way internationally. However, concern for the use of stem cells, specifically the risk of iatrogenic tumor formation, as well as the prohibitive cost of production, storage, and distribution of cells in bone marrow transplant facilities, may limit access to this lifesaving therapy. Accumulating evidence now suggest that novel stem cell-derived therapies, including MSC-conditioned medium and extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from MSCs, might constitute compelling alternatives. The current review summarizes the preclinical studies testing MSC EVs as treatment for ALI and other inflammatory lung diseases. While certain logistic obstacles limit the clinical applications of MSC-conditioned medium such as the volume required for treatment and lack of standardization of what constitutes the components of conditioned medium, the therapeutic application of MSC EVs remains promising, primarily due to ability of EVs to maintain the functional phenotype of the parent cell. However, utilization of MSC EVs will require large-scale production and standardization concerning identification, characterization, and quantification.

Therapeutic benefits of intravenous cardiosphere-derived cell therapy in rats with pulmonary hypertension.

Project description:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive condition characterized by occlusive pulmonary arteriopathy, in which survival remains poor despite pharmacologic advances. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs), cardiac progenitor cells with potent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, to attenuate hemodynamic and morphometric remodeling of the right ventricle (RV) and pulmonary arterioles in rats with established monocrotaline (MCT)-induced PAH. Animals were divided into 3 groups: 1) Control (CTL), 2) PAH in which CDCs were centrally infused (CDC) and 3) PAH in which saline was given (Sham). Significant increments in RV systolic pressure (RVSP) and RV hypertrophy were noted in Sham animals compared to CTL. In CDC rats at day 35, RSVP fell (- 38%; p< 0.001) and RV hypertrophy decreased (-26%; p< 0.01). TAPSE and cardiac output were preserved in all 3 groups at day 35. Pulmonary arteriolar wall thickness was greater in Sham rats compared to CTL, and reduced in CDC animals for vessels 20-50 ?m (P<0.01; back to CTL levels) and 50-80?m (P<0.01) in diameter. The macrophage population was increased in Sham animals compared to CTL (P< 0.001), but markedly reduced in CDC rats. In conclusion, infusion of CDCs markedly attenuated several key pathophysiologic features of PAH. As adjunctive therapy to PAH-specific agents, CDCs have the potential to impact on the pathobiology of adverse pulmonary arteriolar remodeling, by acting on multiple mechanisms simultaneously.

Extracellular vesicle associated long non-coding RNAs functionally enhance cell viability.

Project description:Cells communicate with one another to create microenvironments and share resources. One avenue by which cells communicate is through the action of exosomes. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that are released by one cell and taken up by neighbouring cells. But how exosomes instigate communication between cells has remained largely unknown. We present evidence here that particular long non-coding RNA molecules are preferentially packaged into exosomes. We also find that a specific class of these exosome associated non-coding RNAs functionally modulate cell viability by direct interactions with L-lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB), high-mobility group protein 17 (HMG-17), and CSF2RB, proteins involved in metabolism, nucleosomal architecture and cell signalling respectively. Knowledge of this endogenous cell to cell pathway, those proteins interacting with exosome associated non-coding transcripts and their interacting domains, could lead to a better understanding of not only cell to cell interactions but also the development of exosome targeted approaches in patient specific cell-based therapies.
