Evaluating the therapeutic potential of different sources of mesenchymal stem cells in acute respiratory distress syndrome

ABSTRACT: In different preclinical studies, different sources of MSCs derived from adipose tissue, bone marrow, placenta, umbilical cord have shown effectiveness in treating ARDS. However, their clinical translation has not been effective as demonstrated by variable outcomes from clinical trials. One reason for this could be the MSC source chosen for clinical translation as there is lack of study comparing the different sources of MSCs. In previous work, we performed a “head-to-head” comparison between different sources of MSCs and showed that each source had a unique genomic and proteomic “signature”. Hence, in this current study, we investigated the choice of MSC source best suited for therapy in an LPS-induced mouse model of ARDS. We compare the 3 most commonly used MSC sources: bone marrow derived-MSCs (BM-MSCs), adipose tissue derived-MSCs (AD-MSCs) and umbilical cord derived-MSCs (UC-MSCs) therapy in LPS-induced ARDS model where we did bulk RNA sequencing of the lungs to validate the efficacy of therapy in terms of different changes in gene label and different pathways involved.

Project description:Purpose: Most studies conducted towards understanding the differences among the adult sources of MSCs (BM-MSC and AD-MSC) and UC-MSCs have focused on their phenotypic properties which cannot provide an idea of the functional characteristics changing at the molecular level. Even NGS studies done before, each each study focuses on a different profiling methodology, which makes it difficult to establish a molecular equivalency among the various datasets. We undertake an integrative omics comparison between UC-MSC and two other popular sources of adult MSC (BM-MSC and AD-MSC), with the reasoning that a joint modeling of the changes occurring at the various functional levels will provide greater in-depth insight into the molecular heterogeneity related to different sources of MSCs. Methods: human Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) mRNA cultured under basal conditions in Xeno-free media were subjected to deep sequencing. Three different MSC sourcers : adipose (AD-MSC), bone-marrow (BM-MSC) and Wharton-jelly umbilical cord (UC-MSC) were used and three donors from each tissues source along with three biological replicates for each donor were sequenced using the Illumina PE 150 platform. The sequence reads that passed quality filters Q30≥ 80% were analyzed using DESeq2. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we identified 24,804 transcripts among the three different sources of MSCs. Among these 2127 transcripts (~10%) were found to be differentially expressed among the three sources of MSC, with a\Log2FC| ≥2 and FDR <0.05. Hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes uncovered significant differences among the neonatal source (UC-MSC) and adult-MSCs (AD-MSC and BM-MSC). Altered gene expression profiles among the sources was also confirmed using a proteomics study of the same three sources of MSC with the same donors. Further, secretory immune-regulatory molecules which were confirmed to be differentially expressed among the MSC sources using the integrated transcriptomics-proteomics approach was validated using a Luminex cytokine profiling study. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed integrated analysis of differential gene expression profiling among source-specific human Mesenchymal Stem Cells using a multi-omics approach to validate the observed transcriptomic changes at both the translational as well as secretory levels. Our results offer a comhrehensive evaluation of the differences in immune signaling that exists among the different sourcrs of MSC based on their tissue of origina nd which subsequently plays a decisive role in determining the "regenrative siganture" of these MSCs based on the match between "immune-signature" and "disease type".

Project description:BACKGROUND: Perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) is a key complication affecting older individuals after anesthesia and surgery. Failure to translate multiple pharmacological therapies for PND from preclinical studies to clinical settings has necessitated the exploration of novel therapeutic strategies. Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) treatment has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for treating neurodegenerative diseases and has the potential to translate basic science into clinical practice. In this study, we investigated the effects and underlying mechanism of hUC-MSCs on PND in aged mice.METHODS: hUC-MSCs were isolated from an infant umbilical cord and identified using flow cytometry and differentiation assays. We established PND model by undergoing aseptic laparotomy under isoflurane anesthesia maintaining spontaneous ventilation in 18-month-old male C57BL/6 mice. hUC-MSCs were slowly injected into mice by coccygeal vein before anesthesia. Cognitive function, neuroinflammation, neuroplasticity, endogenous neurogenesis and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were assessed. To determine the mechanisms underlying by which hUC-MSCs mediate their neuroprotective effects in PND, K252a, an antagonist of BDNF receptor, was administered intraperitoneally before surgery. Hippocampal BDNF/TrkB/CREB signaling pathway and metabolomic signatures were evaluated.RESULTS: hUC-MSC treatment ameliorated the learning and memory impairment in aged mice with PND. The downstream effects were the suppression of neuroinflammatory responses and restoration of neurogenesis and neuroplasticity dysregulation. Interestingly, the level of mature BDNF, but not that of proBDNF, was increased in the hippocampus after hUC-MSC treatment. Further analysis revealed that the improved cognitive recovery and the restoration of neurogenesis and neuroplasticity dysregulation elicited by exposure to hUC-MSCs were, at least partially, mediated by the activation of the BDNF/TrkB/CREB signaling pathway. Untargeted metabolomic further identified lipid metabolism dysfunction as potential downstream of the BDNF/TrkB/CREB signaling pathway in hUC-MSC-mediated neuroprotection for PND.CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlights the beneficial effects of hUC-MSC treatment on PND and provides a justification to consider the potential use of hUC-MSCs in the perioperative period.
