Mesenchymal stem cells derived from human placenta suppress allogeneic umbilical cord blood lymphocyte proliferation

Human placenta-derived mononuclear cells （MNC） were isolated by a Percoll density gradient and cultured in mesenchymal stem cell （MSC） maintenance medium. The homogenous layer of adherent cells exhibited a typical fibroblastlike morphology, a large expansive potential, and cell cycle characteristics including a subset of quiescent cells. In vitro differentiation assays showed the tripotential differentiation capacity of these cells toward adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic lineages. Flow cytometry analyses and immunocytochemistry stain showed that placental MSC was a homogeneous cell population devoid of hematopoietic cells, which uniformly expressed CD29, CD44, CD73, CD105, CD166, laminin, fibronectin and vimentin while being negative for expression of CD31, CD34, CD45 and m-smooth muscle actin. Most importantly, immuno-phenotypic analyses demonstrated that these cells expressed class Ⅰ major histocompatibility complex （MHC-I）, but they did not express MHC-Ⅱ molecules. Additionally these cells could suppress umbilical cord blood （UCB） lymphocytes proliferation induced by cellular or nonspecific mitogenic stimuli. This strongly implies that they may have potential application in allograft transplantation. Since placenta and UCB are homogeneous, the MSC derived from human placenta can be transplanted combined with hematopoietic stem cells （HSC） from UCB to reduce the potential graft-versus-host disease （GVHD） in recipients.     

单纯生物学制剂诱导人脐带间充质干细胞向胰岛素分泌细胞快速分化

为探讨用单纯生物学制剂诱导人脐带间充质干细胞(mesenchymal stem cells derived from human umbilical cord,hUC-MSCs)向胰岛素分泌细胞分化的可行性,本研究用胶原酶Ⅱ、胰蛋白酶次序消化及两步离心法从人胎儿完整脐带中分离、纯化出hUC-MSCs;用表皮生长因子、碱性成纤维生长因子、银杏提取液和高糖培养基IMDM诱导hUC-MSCs向胰岛素分泌细胞分化。在hUC-MSCs诱导前后,用倒置显微镜观察其形态变化,RT-PCR检测其胰岛相关基因的表达;双硫腙染色鉴定胰岛样细胞团(islet-like clusters,ILCs);细胞免疫荧光染色检测ILCs中PDX-1和免疫活性胰岛素(immunoreactive insulin,IRI)的表达;化学发光法检测ILCs的IRI分泌量;Western blot鉴定IRI的性质。结果显示:纯化的hUC-MSCs呈间充质干细胞特有的形态特征:长梭形,平行或螺旋形排列;在上述单纯生物学制剂的诱导下,hUC-MSCs逐渐变圆并聚集成团;在25cm2培养瓶的细胞生长面可见上百个ILCs;ILCs表达胰岛特异性基因pdx-1、insulin;ILCs呈PDX-1和IRI免疫染色阳性反应,双硫腙染色呈阳性;ILCs可分泌IRI,但多为胰岛素原(proinsulin,PI)。以上结果提示,用表皮生长因子、碱性成纤维生长因子、银杏提取液和高糖培养基IMDM可诱导hUC-MSCs快速分化为胰岛素分泌细胞,但ILCs功能不够成熟,难以产生足量真胰岛素。     

The immunologic and hematopoietic profiles of mesenchymal stem cells derived from different sections of human umbilical cord

Mesenchymal stem cells （MSCs） have been widely used in allogeneic stem cell transplantation. We compared im- munologic and hematopoietic characteristics of MSCs derived from whole human umbilical cord （UC）, as well as from different sections of UCs, including the amniotic membrane （AM）, Wharton＇s jelly （WJ）, and umbilical vessel （UV）. Cell phenotypes were examined by flow cytometry. Lymphocyte transformation test and mixed lymphocyte reaction were performed to evaluate the immuno-modulatory activity of MSCs derived from UCs. The mRNA expression of cytokines was detected by real- time polymerase chain reaction. Hematopoietic function was studied by co-culturing MSCs with CD34＋ cells iso- lated from cord blood. Our results showed that MSCs separated from these four different sections including UC, W J, UV, and AM had similar biological characteristics. All of the MSCs had multi-lineage differentiation ability and were able to differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes. The MSCs also inhibited the proliferation of allogeneic T cells in a dose-dependent manner. The relative mRNA expression of cytokines was examined, and the results showed that UCMSCs had higher interleukin-6 （IL6）, ILll, stem cell factor, and FLT3 expression than MSCs derived from specific sections of UCs. CD34＋ cells had high propagation efficiencies when co-cultured with MSCs derived from different sections of UCs, among which UCMSCs are the most efficient feeding layer. Our study demonstrated that MSCs could be isolated from whole UC or specific sections of UC with similar immuno- modulation and hematopoiesis supporting characteristics.     

Optimization of primary culture condition for mesenchymal stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood with factorial design

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can not only support the expansion of hematopoietic stem cells in vitro, but also alleviate complications and accelerate recovery of hematopoiesis during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. However, it proved challenging to culture MSCs from umbilical cord blood (UCB) with a success rate of 20–30%. Many cell culture parameters contribute to this outcome and hence optimization of culture conditions is critical to increase the probability of success. In this work, fractional factorial design was applied to study the effect of cell inoculated density, combination and dose of cytokines, and presence of serum and stromal cells. The cultured UCB‐MSC‐like cells were characterized by flow cytometry and their multilineage differentiation potentials were tested. The optimal protocol was identified achieving above 90% successful outcome: 2 × 10⁶ cells/mL mononuclear cells inoculated in Iscove's modified Dulbecco's medium supplied with 10% FBS, 15 ng/mL IL‐3, and 5 ng/mL Granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF). Moreover, the UCB‐MSC‐like cells expressed MSC surface markers of CD13, CD29, CD105, CD166, and CD44 positively, and CD34, CD45, and human leukocyte antigens‐DR (HLA‐DR) negatively. Meanwhile, these cells could differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes similarly to MSCs derived from bone marrow. In conclusion, we have developed an efficient protocol for the primary culture of UCB‐MSCs by adding suitable cytokines into the culture system. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Immunomodulatory effects of umbilical cord‐derived mesenchymal stem cells

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is of great interest as a source of stem cells for use in cellular therapies. The immunomodulatory effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) originating from bone marrow, adipose tissue and amniotic membrane has previously been reported. In this study, MSCs were isolated from UCB with the aim of evaluating their immunomodulatory effects on proliferation of PB lymphocytes by two different techniques; namely, 5‐bromo‐2‐deoxyuridine ELISA and a carboxy fluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester flow cytometric technique. MSCs were isolated from UCB, propagated until Passage four, and then characterized for cell surface markers by flow cytometry and ability to differentiate towards osteocytes and adipocytes. Immunosuppressive effects on PB lymphocytes were examined by co‐culturing mitomycin C‐treated UCB MSCs with mitogen‐stimulated lymphocytes for 72 hr. Thereafter, proliferation of lymphocytes was detected by CFSE flow cytometry and colorimetric ELISA. The titers of cytokines in cell culture supernatant were also assayed to clarify possible mechanisms of immunomodulation. UCB MSCs suppressed mitogen‐stimulated lymphocyte proliferation, which occurs via both cell‐cell contact and cytokine secretion. Titers of transforming growth factor beta and IL 10 increased, whereas that of IFN‐γ decreased in the supernatants of co‐cultures. Thus, UCB MSCs suppress the proliferation of mitogen‐stimulated lymphocytes. However further in vivo studies are required to fully evaluate the immunomodulatory effects of UCB MSCs.     

Prospective isolation and characterization of mesenchymal stem cells from human placenta using a frizzled-9-specific monoclonal antibody

Abstract We have recently shown that frizzled-9 (FZD9, CD349) is expressed on the cell surface of cultured mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) derived from the human bone marrow (BM) and chorionic placenta (PL). To study whether FZD9 is also a marker for naive mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), we analyzed the expression pattern of FZD9 on freshly isolated PL cells and determined the clonogenic potential of isolated FZD9⁺ cells using the colony-forming units-fibroblastic (CFU-F) assay. About 0.2% of isolated PL cells were positive for FZD9. Two-color analysis revealed that FZD9⁺ PL cells uniformly express CD9, CD63, and CD90, but are heterogeneous for CD10, CD13, and CD26 expression. In contrast to BM-derived MSC, PL-derived MSC expressed only low levels of CD271. Colony assays of sorted cells showed that clonogenic CFU-F reside exclusively in the FZD9⁺ but not in the FZD9⁻ fraction. Further analysis revealed that CFU-F were enriched by 60-fold in the FZD9⁺CD10⁺CD26⁺ fraction but were absent in the FZD9⁺CD10⁻CD26⁻ population. Cultured FZD9⁺ cells expressed the embryonic stem cell makers Oct-4 and nanog as well as SSEA-4 and TRA1-2-49/6E. In addition, they could be differentiated into functional adipocytes and osteoblasts. This report describes for the first time that FZD9 is a novel and specific marker for the prospective isolation of MSC from human term PL.
