Project description:Human Wharton’s jelly stem cells (hWJSCs) are derived ethically in large amounts from the umbilical cord matrix. Besides their differentiation capabilities, WJSCs also display a notable lack of ability to form teratoma. hWJSCs have been shown to exert immunomodulatory effects and have recently been reported to kill or diminish cancer cell growth. These characteristics are important considerations for their use in cell therapy. In this transcriptome analysis, hWJSCs were profiled using Affymetrix DNA microarrays and compared to a panel of human stem cells and stromal cells. Although hWJSCs are multipotent, they expressed very low levels of the majority of stem cell markers, including POU5F1, NANOG, SOX2 and LIN28. BIRC5 has recently been shown to be required for teratoma formation in SCID mice. The lower levels of BIRC5 expression in hWJSCs compared to hESCs and the very low levels of stem cell markers might account for hWJSCs inability to form teratomas. IL12A which is known to be associated with the induction of apoptosis, was amongst the several cytokines identified to be significantly upregulated in hWJSCs. The ability of hWJSCs to compliment the host immune responses was further highlighted with the GO Biological Process analysis showing high association with immune system, chemotaxis and cell death. The ability to modulate immune responses confers hWJSCs an additional advantage in stem cell therapy and potentially allows hWJSCs as a form of treatment for cancer and immune disorders. In summary, the transcriptome profile of hWJSCs has provided indications on the genetic basis for their biological characteristics in immunomodulatory response, anti-cancer effects, and the lack of teratoma formation. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Project description:The Wharton’s jelly of the human umbilical cord contains a population of mesenchymal stem cells that are unique and possess significant clinical utility. Known as human Wharton’s jelly stem cells (hWJSCs), they have broad differentiation potential, are proliferative and available in large numbers from discarded cords thus requiring minimum ex vivo expansion. They are safe and non-tumorigenic and maintain stemness properties for prolonged periods in culture. Besides their potential to produce tissues for cell based therapies, it has been demonstrated that they have anti-cancer and wound healing properties and provide cues for expansion of hematopoietic stem cells for treatment of hematopoietic malignancies. They are thus an attractive alternative source of MSCs of therapeutic value compared to bone marrow MSCs (hBMMSCs). We aimed to characterise the differences in gene expression profiles between these two stem cell types using single cell RNA sequencing to determine which pathways are involved in conferring hWJSCs with their unique properties.

Project description:To explore differences between native MSCs (nMSCs) and iPSC-derived MSCs (iMSCs), we developed isogeneic lines from Wharton’s Jelly (WJ) from the umbilical cords of two donors (#12 and #13) under xeno-free conditions. Next, we reprogrammed them into iPSCs (iPSC12 and iPSC13) and subsequently differentiated them back into iMSCs (iMSC12 and iMSC13) using two different protocols, which we named ARG and TEX. As an additional control, we used human embryonic stem cell line KCL034 to differentiate the cells into eMSC following ARG and TEX protocols. We assessed IFNG-induced changes in all lines. Our data suggest that, following a careful selection and screening of donors, nMSCs from umbilical’s cord WJ can be easily reprogrammed into iPSCs providing an unlimited source of material for differentiation into iMSCs. However, the differentiation protocol should be chosen depending on their clinical use.
