A Global Transcriptome Analysis of BMSC Senescence

ABSTRACT: Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) can be expanded by serial passage, but expansion is limited by cell senescence. The nature of changes associated with BMSC serial passages was assessed. Transcriptome analysis of 10 early and 15 late passage samples from 5 subjects revealed 2193 differentially expressed genes; those highly expressed in early passage cells were overrepresented in skeletal system development, embryonic morphogenesis, tube morphogenesis, etc, while those highly expressed in the late passage BMSCs were overrepresented in nucleosome assembly; chromatin assembly, DNA packaging, etc. 57 BMSC samples from 7 donors were further analyzed for the transition from an early to late passage; 155 genes were highly correlated with BMSC senescence and a set of 24 genes was predictive of BMSCs lifespan. The change from an early to a late passage molecular signature occurred between passage 3 and 5. In contrast, senescence associated beta-galactosidase staining began to increase after passage 6 or 7 and colony formation efficiency began to fall after passage 7. These data indicated that the onset of molecular changes associated with BMSC passage varied among individuals and preceded changes in commonly used indicators of BMSC senescence. The set of 24 BMSC lifespan predictive genes will be useful in assessing the quality of clinical BMSC products.

Project description:Abstract Background: Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are being used for immune modulatory, anti-inflammatory and tissue engineering applications, but the properties responsible for these effects are not completely understood. Human BMSCs were characterized to identify factors that might be responsible for their clinical effects and biomarkers for assessing their quality. Methods: Early passage BMSCs prepared from marrow aspirates of 4 healthy subjects were compared to 3 human embryonic stem cell (hESC) samples, CD34+ cells from 3 healthy subjects and 3 fibroblast cell lines. The cells were analyzed with oligonucleotide expression microarrays with more than 35,000 probes. Results: BMSC gene expression signatures of BMSCs differed from those of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), hESCs and fibroblasts. Genes up-regulated in BMSCs were involved with cell movement, cell-to-cell signaling and interaction and proliferation. The BMSC up-regulated genes were most likely to belong to integrin signaling, integrin linked kinase (ILK) signaling, NFR2-mediated oxidative stress response, regulation of actin-based motility by Rho, actin cytoskeletal signaling, caveolar-mediated endocytosis, clathrin-mediated endocytosis and Wnt/beta catenin signaling pathways. Among the most highly up-regulated genes were structural extracellular (ECM) proteins: alpha1 and beta1 integrin chains, fibronectin, collagen type IIIalpha1, and collagen type Valpha1 and functional EMC proteins: connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and transforming growth factor beta induced protein (TGFBI) and ADAM12. Conclusions: Global analysis of human BMSCs suggests that they are mobile, metabolically active, proliferative and interactive cells that make use of integrins and integrin signaling. They produce abundant ECM proteins; some of which may contribute to their clinical immune modulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. Seven samples from early passage BMSCs were prepared from marrow aspirates of healthy subjects and compared to 3 human embryonic stem cell (hESC) samples, CD34+ cells from 3 healthy subjects and 3 fibroblast cell lines. Total RNA from a pool of PBMCs from six healthy subjects was extracted and amplified into aRNA to serve as a reference.

Project description:Background: Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) have classically been cultured in media supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS). As an alternative to FBS, pooled solvent detergent apheresis platelets, HPGF-C18, was evaluated for BMSC culture. Methods: A comparison of passage 2 BMSC growth revealed that 10% HPGF-C18 produced similar cell numbers as 20% FBS. Marrow aspirates from 5 healthy subjects were cultured for 4 passages in 10% HPGF-C18 or 20% FBS and were analyzed for proliferation, colony formation efficiency (CFE), surface marker expression, suppression of mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLRs), global gene and microRNA expression analysis. BMSC supernatant cytokine and growth factor concentrations were also compared. Results: Primary cultures of marrow aspirates in 10% HPGF-C18 and 20% FBS yielded similar numbers and CFE. After 4 passages, 10% HPGF-C18 and 20% FBS yielded similar numbers of BMSCs, surface marker expression patterns and immunosuppression effects. Gene and microRNA expression analysis revealed that BMSCs cultured under the two conditions had distinct expression profiles. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) revealed HPGF-C18-cultured BMSCs were enriched in metabolic processing and biosynthetic pathways; cell proliferation and cell cycle pathways; and immune response pathways. FBS-cultured BMSCs were enriched in MAPK signaling, TGF-beta signaling, cell adhesion and extracellular matrix pathways. Differently expressed microRNAs were related to the osteogenesis of BMSCs. Supernatant analysis found that HPGF-C18 BMSCs displayed higher levels of PEDF and TGFB1 and lower levels of IL6, VEGF, SDF1 and PLGF. Conclusions: Traditional measures; expansion, surface marker expression and inhibition of MLRs suggest that BMSC cultured in HPGF-C18 and FBS were similar, but analysis at the molecular level revealed many differences. BMSCs cultured in HPGF-C18 should be assessed in specific functional assays that reflect application-specific potency before substituting FBS with HPGF-C18.
