Project description:Adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC(AT)) display immunomodulatory and angiogenic properties, but an improved understanding of quantitative critical quality attributes (CQAs) that inform basal MSC(AT) fitness ranges for immunomodulatory and/or angiogenic applications is urgently needed for effective clinical translation. We constructed an in vitro matrix of multivariate readouts to identify putative CQAs that were sensitive enough to discriminate between specific critical processing parameters (CPPs) chosen for their ability to enhance MSC immunomodulatory and angiogenic potencies, with consideration for donor heterogeneity. We compared 3D aggregate culture conditions (3D normoxic, 3D-N) and 2D hypoxic (2D-H) culture as non-genetic CPP conditions that augment immunomodulatory and angiogenic fitness of MSC(AT). We measured multivariate panels of curated genes, soluble factors, and morphometric features for MSC(AT) cultured under varying CPP and licensing conditions, and we benchmarked these against two functional and therapeutically relevant anchor assays – in vitro monocyte/macrophage (MΦ) polarization and in vitro angiogenesis. Our results showed that varying CPP conditions was the primary driver of MSC(AT) immunomodulatory fitness; 3D-N conditions induced greater MSC(AT)-mediated MΦ polarization toward inflammation-resolving subtypes. In contrast, donor heterogeneity was the primary driver of MSC(AT) angiogenic fitness. Our analysis further revealed panels of putative CQAs with minimum and maximum values that consisted of twenty MSC(AT) characteristics that informed immunomodulatory fitness ranges, and ten MSC(AT) characteristics that informed angiogenic fitness ranges. Interestingly, many of the putative CQAs consisted of angiogenic genes or soluble factors that were inversely correlated with immunomodulatory functions (THBS1, CCN2, EDN1, PDGFA, VEGFA, EDIL3, ANGPT1, and ANG genes), and positively correlated to angiogenic functions (VEGF protein), respectively. We applied desirability analysis to empirically rank the putative CQAs for MSC(AT) under varying CPP conditions and donors to numerically identify the desirable CPP conditions or donors with maximal MSC(AT) immunomodulatory and/or angiogenic fitness. Taken together, our approach enabled combinatorial analysis of the matrix of multivariate readouts to provide putative quantitative CQAs that were sensitive to variations in select CPPs that enhance MSC immunomodulatory/angiogenic potency, and donor heterogeneity. These putative CQAs may be used to prospectively screen potent MSC(AT) donors or cell culture conditions to optimize for desired basal MSC(AT) immunomodulatory or angiogenic fitness.

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitors that can be isolated from different sources, such as the bone marrow, adipose tissue and umbilical cord. The therapeutic potential of MSCs is related to a plethora of immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and pro-repair actions, which are at least partially dependent on their secretome. Among the components of MSCs' secretome, EVs have received considerable attention because MSC-EVs exert similar therapeutic properties as their parent cells. Among the different MSC sources for EV production, human umbilical cord MSCs (hUCMSCs) show advantages such as tissue availability, high proliferative profile of the cells and potential beneficial therapeutic effects in a variety of different diseases, such as stroke This study aimed to provide novel insights for future hUCMSC-EVs research and treatment selection. We investigated the influence of the culture and harvesting conditions on the EV proteomic profile, productivity, surface markers expression and evaluated their in vivo biodistribution and toxicity.

Project description:Development of systems allowing the maintenance of native properties of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) is a critical challenge for studying physiological functions of skeletal progenitors, as well as towards cellular therapy and regenerative medicine applications. Conventional stem cell culture in monolayer on plastic dishes (2D) is associated with progressive loss of functionality, likely due to the absence of a biomimetic microenvironment and the selection of adherent populations. Here we demonstrate that 2D MSC expansion can be entirely bypassed by culturing freshly isolated bone marrow cells within the pores of 3D scaffolds in a perfusion-based bioreactor system, followed by enzymatic digestion for cell retrieval. The 3D-perfusion system supported MSC growth while maintaining cells of the hematopoietic lineage, and thus generated a cellular environment mimicking some features of the bone marrow stroma. As compared to 2D-expansion, sorted CD45- cells derived from 3D-perfusion culture after the same time (3 weeks) or a similar extent of proliferation (7-8 doublings) maintained a 4.3-fold higher clonogenicity and exhibited a superior differentiation capacity towards all typical mesenchymal lineages, with similar immunomodulatory function in vitro. Transcriptomic analysis performed on MSC from 5 donors validated the robustness of the process and indicated a reduced inter-donor variability as well as a significant upregulation of multipotency-related gene clusters following 3D-perfusion as compared to 2D expansion. The described system offers a model to study how factors of a 3D engineered niche may regulate MSC function and, by streamlining conventional labor-intensive processes, is prone to automation and scalability within closed bioreactor systems. Nucleated cells were isolated from 5 fresh human bone marrow aspirates by means of red blood cells lyses buffer and then were seeded into a 3D perfusion bioreactor system using a pure hydroxyapatite 3D scaffold and in conventional Petri dishes (2D). After culture for 19 days, cells from both systems were enzymatically retrieved and sorted using anti-CD45-coated magnetic beads. Total RNA was extracted from CD45- cells, QCed and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) are widely used in cell therapy due to their powerful immunomodulatory and tissue regenerative capabilities. In order to meet the number and quality of cells for clinical applications, we developed a hUC-MSCs culture process based on homemade microcarriers and stirred bioreactors. In this study, the biological properties of hUC-MSCs amplified by planar culture and microcarrier bioreactor systems are systematically compared. It was found that microcarrier-expanded hUC-MSCs had a relatively lower degree of aging, relatively stronger proliferation capacity, and fewer cells stayed in the cell cycle retardation period. At the same time, RNA-seq was used to compare the differences in gene expression between the two cultures, and the pathways and genes related to cell aging were identified. Comparing the transcription levels of these aging-related gene sets can also confirm that cells cultured by microcarrier reactors are more youthful. Results show that our reactor culture method greatly improved the cell proliferation efficiency, while maintaining the basic properties and younger state of stem cells.

Project description:Cells in culture undergo replicative senescence. In this study, we analyzed functional, genetic and epigenetic sequels of long‐term culture in human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Already within early passages the fibroblastoid colony‐ forming unit (CFU‐f) frequency and the differentiation potential of MSC declined significantly. Relevant chromosomal aberrations were not detected by karyotyping and SNP‐microarrays. Subsequently, we have compared DNA‐methylation profiles with the Infinium HumanMethylation27 Bead Array and the profiles differed markedly in MSC derived from adipose tissue and bone marrow. Notably, all MSC revealed highly consistent senescence‐associated modifications at specific CpG sites. These DNA‐methylation changes correlated with histone marks of previously published data sets, such as trimethylation of H3K9, H3K27 and EZH2 targets. Taken together, culture expansion of MSC has profound functional implications ‐ these are hardly reflected by genomic instability but they are associated with highly reproducible DNA‐methylation changes which correlate with repressive histone marks. Therefore replicative senescence seems to be epigenetically controlled.

Project description:In this study, we have analyzed DNA methylation changes upon long-term culture and aging of MSC by using the HumanMethylation27 BeadChip assessing 27,578 unique CpG sites. Cells were taken from bone marrow aspirates from iliac crest (BM) of healthy donors or from the caput femoris (HIP) of elderly patients that received femoral head prosthesis.Overall, the methylation pattern was maintained throughout both long-term culture and aging but highly significant differences were observed at specific CpG sites. Notably, methylation changes in MSC were related in long-term culture and aging in vivo.
