The isolation and cultivation of bone marrow stem cells and evaluation of differences for neural-like cells differentiation under the induction with neurotrophic factors

The bone marrow represents the most common source from which to isolate mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). They can be obtained directly from patients and successfully induced to form various differentiated cell types. In addition, cell-based transplantation therapies have been proven to be promising strategies for curing disease of the nerve system. Therefore, it was particularly important to establish an easy and feasible method for the isolation, purification, and differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize putative bone marrow derived MSCs from Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats. Furthermore, differentiation effects were compared between the GDNF-induction group and the BDNF-induction group. Of these, BMSCs were isolated from the SD rats in a traditional manner, and identified based on plastic adherence, morphology, and surface phenotype assays. After induction with GDNF and BDNF, viability of BMSCs was detected by MTT assay and neuronal differentiation of BMSCs was confirmed by using immunofluorescence and Western blotting. Besides, the number of BMSCs that obviously exhibited neuronal morphology was counted and the results were compared between the GDNF-induction group and BDNF-induction groups. Our results indicate that direct adherence was a simple and convenient method for isolation and cultivation of BMSCs. Furthermore, BMSCs can be induced in vitro to differentiate into neuronal cells by using GDNF, which could achieve a more persistent and stable inducing effect than when using BDNF.

Murine mesenchymal stem cells exhibit a restricted repertoire of functional chemokine receptors: comparison with human

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are non-haematopoeitic, stromal cells that are capable of differentiating into mesenchymal tissues such as bone and cartilage. They are rare in bone marrow, but have the ability to expand many-fold in culture, and retain their growth and multi-lineage potential. The properties of MSCs make them ideal candidates for tissue engineering. It has been shown that MSCs, when transplanted systemically, can home to sites of injury, suggesting that MSCs possess migratory capacity; however, mechanisms underlying migration of these cells remain unclear. Chemokine receptors and their ligands play an important role in tissue-specific homing of leukocytes. Here we define the cell surface chemokine receptor repertoire of murine MSCs from bone marrow, with a view to determining their migratory activity. We also define the chemokine receptor repertoire of human MSCs from bone marrow as a comparison. We isolated murine MSCs from the long bones of Balb/c mice by density gradient centrifugation and adherent cell culture. Human MSCs were isolated from the bone marrow of patients undergoing hip replacement by density gradient centrifugation and adherent cell culture. The expression of chemokine receptors on the surface of MSCs was studied using flow cytometry. Primary murine MSCs expressed CCR6, CCR9, CXCR3 and CXCR6 on a large proportion of cells (73+/-11%, 44+/-25%, 55+/-18% and 96+/-2% respectively). Chemotaxis assays were used to verify functionality of these chemokine receptors. We have also demonstrated expression of these receptors on human MSCs, revealing some similarity in chemokine receptor expression between the two species. Consequently, these murine MSCs would be a useful model to further study the role of chemokine receptors in in vivo models of disease and injury, for example in recruitment of MSCs to inflamed tissues for repair or immunosuppression.     

In vitro culture expansion impairs chondrogenic differentiation and the therapeutic effect of mesenchymal stem cells by regulating the unfolded protein response

In vitro expansion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been implicated in loss of multipotency, leading to impaired chondrogenic potential and an eventual therapeutic effect, as reported in our previous study. However, the precise regulatory mechanism is still unclear. Here, we demonstrate that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR) were involved in transformation of MSCs induced by in vitro culture based on the comparative profiling of in vitro cultured bone marrow MSCs at passage 3 (P3 BMSCs) vs. fresh P0 BMSCs by microarray analysis. Indeed, RT-PCR and Western blot analysis showed significantly lower expression levels of three key UPR-related molecules, ATF4, ATF6 and XBP1, in P3 BMSCs than P0 BMSCs. Further, we found that UPR suppression by 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) reduced the chondrogenic potential of P0 BMSCs and further cartilage regeneration. Conversely, UPR induction by tunicamycin (TM) enhanced the chondrogenic differentiation of P3 BMSCs and the therapeutic effect on cartilage repair. Thus, the decline in the chondrogenic potential of stem cells after in vitro culture and expansion may be due to changes in ER stress and the UPR pathway.     

Isolation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells and their Cultivation on the Porous Bone Matrix

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a differentiation potential towards osteoblastic lineage when they are stimulated with soluble factors or specific biomaterials. This work presents a novel option for the delivery of MSCs from human amniotic membrane (AM-hMSCs) that employs bovine bone matrix Nukbone (NKB) as a scaffold. Thus, the application of MSCs in repair and tissue regeneration processes depends principally on the efficient implementation of the techniques for placing these cells in a host tissue. For this reason, the design of biomaterials and cellular scaffolds has gained importance in recent years because the topographical characteristics of the selected scaffold must ensure adhesion, proliferation and differentiation into the desired cell lineage in the microenvironment of the injured tissue. This option for the delivery of MSCs from human amniotic membrane (AM-hMSCs) employs bovine bone matrix as a cellular scaffold and is an efficient culture technique because the cells respond to the topographic characteristics of the bovine bone matrix Nukbone (NKB), i.e., spreading on the surface, macroporous covering and colonizing the depth of the biomaterial, after the cell isolation process. We present the procedure for isolating and culturing MSCs on a bovine matrix.     

Mesenchymal stem cells and their use in therapy: What has been achieved?

The considerable therapeutic potential of human multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells or mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has generated increasing interest in a wide variety of biomedical disciplines. Nevertheless, researchers report studies on MSCs using different methods of isolation and expansion, as well as different approaches to characterize them; therefore, it is increasingly difficult to compare and contrast study outcomes. To begin to address this issue, the Mesenchymal and Tissue Stem Cell Committee of the International Society for Cellular Therapy proposed minimal criteria to define human MSCs. First, MSCs must be plastic-adherent when maintained in standard culture conditions (α minimal essential medium plus 20% fetal bovine serum). Second, MSCs must express CD105, CD73 and CD90, and MSCs must lack expression of CD45, CD34, CD14 or CD11b, CD79α or CD19 and HLA-DR surface molecules. Third, MSCs must differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondroblasts in vitro. MSCs are isolated from many adult tissues, in particular from bone marrow and adipose tissue. Along with their capacity to differentiate and transdifferentiate into cells of different lineages, these cells have also generated great interest for their ability to display immunomodulatory capacities. Indeed, a major breakthrough was the finding that MSCs are able to induce peripheral tolerance, suggesting that they may be used as therapeutic tools in immune-mediated disorders. Although no significant adverse events have been reported in clinical trials to date, all interventional therapies have some inherent risks. Potential risks for undesirable events, such as tumor development, that might occur while using these stem cells for therapy must be taken into account and contrasted against the potential benefits to patients.     

Growth and characterisation of primary bovine colon epithelial cells in vitro

Epithelial crypts from the bovine colon were obtained by using a combined mechanical and enzymatic isolation method, followed by differential D-sorbitol gradient centrifugation. By using this isolation technique, a pure fraction of epithelial crypts with minimal mesenchymal contamination was obtained. The crypts were seeded in collagen-coated plastic flasks. The attached epithelial cells proliferated and formed a confluent monolayer after 6 days in culture. Under low-serum culture conditions (1% fetal calf serum), the cells had a population doubling time of 21-22 hours. During the culture period, the colonocytes were characterised morphologically and enzymatically. The morphology of the cultured cells was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The presence of microvilli, tight junctions and desmosomes demonstrated the ability of the cultured cells to restore an epithelial-like cell monolayer. The epithelial origin of the cells was demonstrated by labelling the cells with antibodies against epithelial-specific cytokeratins 7 and 13. The functional integrity of the cells was evaluated by measuring various marker enzymes (gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, NADH-dehydrogenase) and membrane-associated Na+-K+-ATPase activity. Membrane integrity was determined by measuring the leakage of lactate dehydrogenase into the culture medium. This new culture system for bovine colon epithelial cells could be used as an in vitro model of the colon epithelium in physiological and toxicological studies.     

A new methodology of mesenchymal stem cell expansion using magnetic nanoparticles

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can differentiate into multiple mesodermal tissues, may be useful for autologous cell transplantation, if MSCs, which are isolated from bone marrow in small numbers, can be expanded in vitro. We developed a combined methodological approach to enrich and proliferate MSCs in vitro using magnetic nanoparticles. Our magnetite cationic liposomes (MCLs), which have a positive surface charge in order to improve adsorption, accumulated in MSCs at a concentration of 20 pg of magnetite per cell. The MCLs exhibited no toxicity against MSCs in proliferation and differentiation to osteoblasts and adipocytes. The MSCs magnetically labeled by MCLs were enriched using magnets and then cultured, resulting in much higher density (seeding density, 1000 cells/cm²) than in ordinary culture (seeding density, 18 cells/cm²). When MSCs were seeded at high density using MCLs, there was a 5-fold increase in the number of cells, compared to culture prepared without MCLs. Our results suggest that this novel culture method using magnetic nanoparticles can be used to efficiently expand MSCs for clinical application.

Comparison of alternative mesenchymal stem cell sources for cell banking and musculoskeletal advanced therapies

With the continuous discovery of new alternative sources containing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), regenerative medicine therapies may find tailored applications in the clinics. Although these cells have been demonstrated to express specific mesenchymal markers and are able to differentiate into mesenchymal lineages in ad hoc culture conditions, it is still critical to determine the yield and differentiation potential of these cells in comparative studies under the same standardized culture environment. Moreover, the opportunity to use MSCs from bone marrow (BM) of multiorgan donors for cell banking is of relevant importance. In the attempt to establish the relative potential of alternative MSCs sources, we analyzed and compared the yield and differentiation potential of human MSCs from adipose and BM tissues of cadaveric origins, and from fetal annexes (placenta and umbilical cord) after delivery using standardized isolation and culture protocols. BM contained a significantly higher amount of mononuclear cells (MNCs) compared to the other tissue sources. Nonetheless, a higher cell seeding density was needed for these cells to successfully isolate MSCs. The MNCs populations were highly heterogeneous and expressed variable MSCs markers with a large variation from donor to donor. After MSCs selection through tissue culture plastic adhesion, cells displayed a comparable proliferation capacity with distinct colony morphologies and were positive for a pool of typical MSCs markers. In vitro differentiation assays showed a higher osteogenic differentiation capacity of adipose tissue and BM MSCs, and a higher chondrogenic differentiation capacity of BM MSCs.
