Delineation of in vitro chondrogenesis of human synovial stem cells following preconditioning with decellularized matrix

ABSTRACT: As a tissue-specific stem cell for chondrogenesis, synovium-derived stem cells (SDSCs) are a promising cell source for cartilage repair. However, a small biopsy can only provide a limited number of cells. Cell senescence from both in vitro expansion and donor age presents a big challenge for stem cell based cartilage regeneration. Here we found that expansion on decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) full of three-dimensional nanostructured fibers provided SDSCs with unique surface profiles, low elasticity but large volume as well as fibroblast-like shape. dECM expanded SDSCs yielded large pellets with intensive staining of type II collagen and sulfated GAGs, which was supported by both biochemical data and real-time PCR results. Our results also hint at lower levels of inflammatory genes and how they might be responsible for enhanced chondrogenic differentiation in dECM expanded SDSCs. Despite an increase of type X collagen in chondrogenically induced cells, dECM expanded cells had significantly lower potential for endochondral bone formation. Both Wnt and MAPK signals were actively involved in both expansion and chondrogenic induction of dECM expanded cells. dECM expanded human SDSCs could be a potential cell source for autologous cartilage repair

Project description:We used human fetal bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hfMSCs) differentiating towards chondrocytes as an alternative model for the human growth plate (GP). Our aims were to study gene expression patterns associated with chondrogenic differentiation to assess whether chondrocytes derived from hfMSCs are a suitable model for studying the development and maturation of the GP. hfMSCs efficiently formed hyaline cartilage in a pellet culture in the presence of TGFB3 and BMP6. Microarray and principal component analysis were applied to study gene expression profiles during chondrogenic differentiation. A set of 232 genes was found to correlate with in vitro cartilage formation. Several identified genes are known to be involved in cartilage formation and validate the robustness of the differentiating hfMSC model. KEGG pathway analysis using the 232 genes revealed 9 significant signaling pathways correlated with cartilage formation. To determine the progression of growth plate cartilage formation, we compared the gene expression profile of differentiating hfMSCs with previously established expression profiles of epiphyseal GP cartilage. As differentiation towards chondrocytes proceeds, hfMSCs gradually obtain a gene expression profile resembling epiphyseal GP cartilage. We visualized the differences in gene expression profiles as protein interaction clusters and identified many protein clusters that are activated during the early chondrogenic differentiation of hfMSCs showing the potential of this system to study GP development.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor-2 delays the loss of chondrogenic potential in adult bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells; We compared human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), expanded long-term with and without fibroblast growth factor (FGF) supplementation, with respect to their proliferation rate, and ability to differentiate along the chondrogenic pathway in vitro. hMSCs expanded in FGF-supplemented medium proliferated more rapidly than those expanded under control conditions. Aggregates of FGF-treated cells exhibited chondrogenic differentiation at passages 1 through 7, although, in some of the preparations, chondrogenic differentiation was somewhat diminished after seventh passage. Aggregates made with control cells differentiated along the chondrogenic lineage at first passage but exhibited only marginal chondrogenic differentiation after four passages and failed to form cartilage after seven passages. Microarray analysis of gene expression identified 334 transcripts that were differentially expressed in fourth passage control cells which had reduced chondrogenic potential compared to fourth passage FGF-treated cells which retained this differentiation capacity and 243 transcripts that were differentially expressed when comparing them to first passage control cells which were also capable of differentiating into chondrocytes. The intersection of these analyses yielded 49 transcripts that were differentially expressed in cells that exhibited chondrogenic differentiation in vitro compared to cells that did not. These preliminary data must now be validated to verify whether the different gene expression profiles translate into functional differences. These findings suggest that care should be exercised when extensively expanding these cells for cartilage tissue engineering applications. Experiment Overall Design: hMSCs from three different donors were expanded for up to seven passages with or without FGF supplementation. At the end of first, fourth and seventh passages the chondrogenic potential and gene expression progfiles were analyzed.
