Intramuscular transplantation of human postnatal myoblasts generates functional donor-derived satellite cells.

ABSTRACT: Myogenic cell transplantation is an experimental approach for the treatment of myopathies. In this approach, transplanted cells need to fuse with pre-existing myofibers, form new myofibers, and generate new muscle precursor cells (MPCs). The last property was fully reported following myoblast transplantation in mice but remains poorly studied with human myoblasts. In this study, we provide evidence that the intramuscular transplantation of postnatal human myoblasts in immunodeficient mice generates donor-derived MPCs and specifically donor-derived satellite cells. In a first experiment, cells isolated from mouse muscles 1 month after the transplantation of human myoblasts proliferated in vitro as human myoblasts. These cells were retransplanted in mice and formed myofibers expressing human dystrophin. In a second experiment, we observed that inducing muscle regeneration 2 months following transplantation of human myoblasts led to myofiber regeneration by human-derived MPCs. In a third experiment, we detected by immunohistochemistry abundant human-derived satellite cells in mouse muscles 1 month after transplantation of postnatal human myoblasts. These human-derived satellite cells may correspond totally or partially to the human-derived MPCs evidenced in the first two experiments. Finally, we present evidence that donor-derived satellite cells may be produced in patients that received myoblast transplantation.

Human skeletal muscle-derived CD133(+) cells form functional satellite cells after intramuscular transplantation in immunodeficient host mice.

Project description:Stem cell therapy is a promising strategy for treatment of muscular dystrophies. In addition to muscle fiber formation, reconstitution of functional stem cell pool by donor cells is vital for long-term treatment. We show here that some CD133(+) cells within human muscle are located underneath the basal lamina of muscle fibers, in the position of the muscle satellite cell. Cultured hCD133(+) cells are heterogeneous and multipotent, capable of forming myotubes and reserve satellite cells in vitro. They contribute to extensive muscle regeneration and satellite cell formation following intramuscular transplantation into irradiated and cryodamaged tibialis anterior muscles of immunodeficient Rag2-/γ chain-/C5-mice. Some donor-derived satellite cells expressed the myogenic regulatory factor MyoD, indicating that they were activated. In addition, when transplanted host muscles were reinjured, there was significantly more newly-regenerated muscle fibers of donor origin in treated than in control, nonreinjured muscles, indicating that hCD133(+) cells had given rise to functional muscle stem cells, which were able to activate in response to injury and contribute to a further round of muscle regeneration. Our findings provide new evidence for the location and characterization of hCD133(+) cells, and highlight that these cells are highly suitable for future clinical application.

Restoration of Functional Full-Length Dystrophin After Intramuscular Transplantation of Foamy Virus-Transduced Myoblasts.

Project description:Stem cell therapy is a promising strategy to treat muscle diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). To avoid immune rejection of donor cells or donor-derived muscle, autologous cells, which have been genetically modified to express dystrophin, are preferable to cells derived from healthy donors. Restoration of full-length dystrophin (FL-dys) using viral vectors is extremely challenging, due to the limited packaging capacity of the vectors, but we have recently shown that either a foamy viral or lentiviral vector is able to package FL-dys open-reading frame and transduce myoblasts derived from a DMD patient. Differentiated myotubes derived from these transduced cells produced FL-dys. Here, we transplanted the foamy viral dystrophin-corrected DMD myoblasts intramuscularly into mdx nude mice, and showed that the transduced cells contributed to muscle regeneration, expressing FL-dys in nearly all the muscle fibers of donor origin. Furthermore, we showed that the restored FL-dys recruited members of the dystrophin-associated protein complex and neuronal nitric oxide synthase within donor-derived muscle fibers, evidence that the restored dystrophin protein is functional. Dystrophin-expressing donor-derived muscle fibers expressed lower levels of utrophin than host muscle fibers, providing additional evidence of functional improvement of donor-derived myofibers. This is the first in vivo evidence that foamy virus vector-transduced DMD myoblasts can contribute to muscle regeneration and mediate functional dystrophin restoration following their intramuscular transplantation, representing a promising therapeutic strategy for individual small muscles in DMD.

DRG-Derived Neural Progenitors Differentiate into Functional Enteric Neurons Following Transplantation in the Postnatal Colon.

Project description:Cell therapy has great promise for treating gastrointestinal motility disorders caused by intestinal nervous system (ENS) diseases. However, appropriate sources, other than enteric neural stem cells and human embryonic stem cells, are seldom reported. Here, we show that neural progenitors derived from the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of EGFP mice survived, differentiated into enteric neurons and glia cells, migrated widely from the site of injection, and established neuron-muscle connections following transplantation into the distal colon of postnatal mice. The exogenous EGFP+ neurons were physiologically functional as shown by the activity of calcium imaging. This study shows that that other tissues besides the postnatal bowel harbor neural crest stem cells or neural progenitors that have the potential to differentiate into functional enteric neurons in vivo and can potentially be used for intestinal nerve regeneration. These DRG-derived neural progenitor cells may be a choice for cell therapy of ENS disease as an allograft. The new knowledge provided by our study is important for the development of neural crest stem cell and cell therapy for the treatment of intestinal neuropathy.

The co-transplantation of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells reduced inflammation in intramuscular islet transplantation.

Project description:Aims/hypothesisAlthough the muscle is one of the preferable transplant sites in islet transplantation, its transplant efficacy is poor. Here we attempted to determine whether an intramuscular co-transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could improve the outcome.MethodsWe co-cultured murine islets with MSCs and then analyzed the morphological changes, viability, insulin-releasing function (represented by the stimulation index), and gene expression of the islets. We also transplanted 500 islets intramuscularly with or without 5 × 105 MSCs to diabetic mice and measured their blood glucose level, the glucose changes in an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test, and the plasma IL-6 level. Inflammation, apoptosis, and neovascularization in the transplantation site were evaluated histologically.ResultsThe destruction of islets tended to be prevented by co-culture with MSCs. The stimulation index was significantly higher in islets co-cultured with MSCs (1.78 ± 0.59 vs. 7.08 ± 2.53; p = 0.0025). In terms of gene expression, Sult1c2, Gstm1, and Rab37 were significantly upregulated in islets co-cultured with MSCs. Although MSCs were effective in the in vitro assays, they were only partially effective in facilitating intramuscular islet transplantation. Co-transplanted MSCs prevented an early inflammatory reaction from the islets (plasma IL-6; p = 0.0002, neutrophil infiltration; p = 0.016 inflammatory area; p = 0.021), but could not promote neovascularization in the muscle, resulting in the failure of many intramuscular transplanted islets to engraft.ConclusionsIn conclusion, co-culturing and co-transplanting MSCs is potentially useful in islet transplantation, especially in terms of anti-inflammation, but further augmentation for an anti-apoptosis effect and neovascularization is necessary.

Donor-Derived CD4+ T Cells and Human Herpesvirus 6B Detection After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation.

Project description:We sought to determine whether donor-derived human herpesvirus (HHV) 6B-specific CD4+ T-cell abundance is correlated with HHV-6B detection after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. We identified 33 patients who received HLA-matched, non-T-cell-depleted, myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation and underwent weekly plasma polymerase chain reaction testing for HHV-6B for 100 days thereafter. We tested donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells for HHV-6B-specific CD4+ T cells. Patients with HHV-6B detection above the median peak viral load (200 copies/mL) received approximately 10-fold fewer donor-derived total or HHV-6B-specific CD4+ T cells than those with peak HHV-6B detection at ≤200 copies/mL or with no HHV-6B detection. These data suggest the importance of donor-derived immunity for controlling HHV-6B reactivation.

Donor-derived hypouricemia in irrelevant recipients caused by kidney transplantation.

Project description:Background:Hereditary renal hypouricemia (HRH) is a genetically heterogenetic disease. Patients with HRH are almost asymptomatic; but some may experience exercise-induced acute kidney injury (EAKI) and nephrolithiasis which may bring concerns regarding the risk-benefit ratio as marginal kidney donors. This study examined the pathogenic mutations of hypouricemia in two recipients after receiving kidney transplantation, providing preliminary evidence for the mechanism of hypouricemia. Methods:Two participants underwent detailed biochemical examinations. DNA and RNA were extracted from transplant specimens for sequencing. The whole-genome sequencing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification were performed to confirm the pathogenic genes. Functional effects of mutant proteins were verified by bioinformatics analysis. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to study the transcriptome of hypouricemia. Results:Both of the recipients had the low serum uric acid (UA) (45-65 µmol/l), high fraction excretion of UA (44% and 75%) and an increase in the UA clearance (35.9 and 73.3 mL/min) with a functioning graft. The sequencing analyses revealed 7 kinds of potential mutational genes in this case, two novel mutations p.R89H and p.L181V in SLC22A12 gene which were revealed by bioinformatics could be pathogenic in nature. Conclusions:Two novel mutations of SLC22A12 were identified. Preliminary functional analysis revealed a potential deleterious effect of these mutations in the grafts derived from the donor and sequencing analysis expand the molecular mechanisms of renal hypouricemia.

Human Satellite Cell Transplantation and Regeneration from Diverse Skeletal Muscles.

Project description:Identification of human satellite cells that fulfill muscle stem cell criteria is an unmet need in regenerative medicine. This hurdle limits understanding how closely muscle stem cell properties are conserved among mice and humans and hampers translational efforts in muscle regeneration. Here, we report that PAX7 satellite cells exist at a consistent frequency of 2-4 cells/mm of fiber in muscles of the human trunk, limbs, and head. Xenotransplantation into mice of 50-70 fiber-associated, or 1,000-5,000 FACS-enriched CD56(+)/CD29(+) human satellite cells led to stable engraftment and formation of human-derived myofibers. Human cells with characteristic PAX7, CD56, and CD29 expression patterns populated the satellite cell niche beneath the basal lamina on the periphery of regenerated fibers. After additional injury, transplanted satellite cells robustly regenerated to form hundreds of human-derived fibers. Together, these findings conclusively delineate a source of bona-fide endogenous human muscle stem cells that will aid development of clinical applications.

Generation of allogenic and xenogeneic functional muscle stem cells for intramuscular transplantation [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Satellite cells, the stem cells of skeletal muscle tissue, hold a remarkable regeneration capacity and therapeutic potential in regenerative medicine. However, low satellite cell yield from autologous or donor-derived muscles hinders the adoption of satellite cell transplantation for the treatment of muscle diseases, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). To address this limitation, here we investigated whether satellite cells can be derived in allogeneic or xenogeneic animal hosts. First, injection of CRISPR/Cas9-corrected mouse DMD-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into mouse blastocysts carrying an ablation system of host satellite cells gave rise to intraspecies chimeras exclusively carrying iPSC-derived satellite cells. Furthermore, injection of genetically corrected DMD-iPSCs into rat blastocysts resulted in the formation of interspecies rat-mouse chimeras harboring mouse satellite cells. Remarkably, iPSC-derived satellite cells or derivative myoblasts produced in intraspecies or interspecies chimeras restored dystrophin expression in DMD mice following intramuscular transplantation, and contributed to the satellite cell pool. Collectively, this study demonstrates the feasibility of producing therapeutically competent stem cells across divergent animal species, raising the possibility of generating human muscle stem cells in large animals for regenerative medicine purposes.
