Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with capacity to differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts and chondrocytes, offer potential for the development of novel treatments. A critical question in MSCs biology is whether this cell population possesses a relatively uniform differentiation capability or is comprised of distinct subsets of progenitors committed to differentiate in particular pathways. To quantify the changes during growth of MSCs, we analyzed the mesenchymal phenotype and differentiation ability using a multi-marker PCR with six primer sets specific for CD73, CD90, CD105, CD166, CD45 and β-actin allowing a gel-based differential detection of the PCR products. To determine degree of variability of MSCs populations in terms of proliferation, cell proliferation assays were performed on expanded MSCs up to the sixth passage. At each passage, the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation potentials of MSCs were verified by culture in inductive media. RT-PCR and cytochemical analysis revealed that, despite the loss of multipotentiality during expansion, certain markers remain expressed, indicating that these markers are unlikely to be reflective of the MSC’s true ‘stem cell’ nature. Our results suggest that decrease in the expression of MSCs specific markers correlates with down-regulation of proliferation ability and differentiation efficiency of MSCs.  相似文献

The therapeutic potential of human amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells (hAMSCs) remains limited because of their differentiation towards mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) following adherence. The aim of this study was to develop a three-dimensional (3-D) culture system that would permit hAMSCs to differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like cells. hAMSCs were isolated from human amnions of full-term births collected after Cesarean section. Immunocytochemistry, immunofluorescence and flow cytometry analyses were undertaken to examine hAMSC marker expression for differentiation status after adherence. Membrane currents were determined by patch clamp analysis of hAMSCs grown with or without cardiac lysates. Freshly isolated hAMSCs were positive for human embryonic stem-cell-related markers but their marker profile significantly shifted towards that of MSCs following adherence. hAMSCs cultured in the 3-D culture system in the presence of cardiac lysate expressed cardiomyocyte-specific markers, in contrast to those maintained in standard adherent cultures or those in 3-D cultures without cardiac lysate. hAMSCs cultured in 3-D with cardiac lysate displayed a cardiomyocyte-like phenotype as observed by membrane currents, including a calcium-activated potassium current, a delayed rectifier potassium current and a Ca2+-resistant transient outward K+ current. Thus, although adherence limits the potential of hAMSCs to differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like cells, the 3-D culture of hAMSCs represents a more effective method of their culture for use in regenerative medicine.  相似文献

Ageing is often accompanied by an increase in bone marrow fat together with reduced bone volume and diseases of the bone such as osteoporosis. As mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of forming bone, cartilage and fat tissue, studying these cells is of great importance to understand the underlying mechanisms behind age‐related bone diseases. However, inter‐donor variation has been found when handling MSCs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of donor age and sex by comparing in vitro characteristics of human bone marrow‐derived MSCs (hBMSCs) from a large donor cohort (n = 175). For this, hBMSCs were analysed for CFU‐F capacity, proliferation, differentiation capacity and surface antigen expression under standardized culture conditions. The results demonstrated a significantly reduced CFU‐F number for hBMSCs of female compared to male donors. Furthermore, there was a significant decrease in the proliferation rate, adipogenic differentiation potential and cell surface expression of SSEA‐4, CD146 and CD274 of hBMSCs with an increase in donor age. Interestingly, all these findings were exclusive to hBMSCs from female donors. Further research should focus on postmenopausal‐related effects on hBMSCs, as the results imply a functional loss and immunophenotypic change of hBMSCs particularly in aged women.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential of intraoral harvested alveolar bone as an alternative source of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells for future applications in oral and maxillofacial tissue engineering. Explant cultures were established from 20 alveolar bone samples harvested from the oblique line immediately before wisdom tooth removal. Morphology and proliferation characteristics of the in vitro expanded cells, referred to as human alveolar bone-derived cells (hABDCs), were studied using phase-contrast microscopy. Immunocytochemical analysis of their surface marker expression was conducted using monoclonal antibodies defining mesenchymal stromal cells. To evaluate their multilineage differentiation potential, hABDCs were induced to differentiate along the osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineage and compared to bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (hBMSCs) on mRNA and protein levels applying RT-PCR and cytochemical staining methods. hABDCs showed typical morphological characteristics comparable to those of hBMSCs such as being mononuclear, fibroblast-like, spindle-shaped, and plastic adherent. Immunophenotypically, cells were positive for CD105, CD90, and CD73 while negative for CD45, CD34, CD14, CD79α, and HLA-DR surface molecules, indicating an antigen expression pattern considered typical for multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells. As evidenced by RT-PCR and cytochemistry, hABDCs showed multilineage differentiation and similar chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation potentials when compared to hBMSCs. Our findings demonstrate that human alveolar bone contains mesenchymal progenitor cells that can be isolated and expanded in vitro and are capable of trilineage differentiation, providing a reservoir of multipotent mesenchymal cells from an easily accessible tissue source.  相似文献

Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) are highly proliferative, clonogenic and multipotent stem cells with a neural crest cell origin. Additionally, they can be collected with minimal invasiveness in comparison with other sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Therefore, SHED could be a desirable option for potential therapeutic applications. In this study, SHEDs were established from enzyme-disaggregated deciduous dental pulp obtained from 6 to 9 year-old children. The cells had typical fibroblastoid morphology and expressed antigens characteristic of MSCs, STRO1, CD146, CD45, CD90, CD106 and CD166, but not the hematopoietic and endothelial markers, CD34 and CD31, as assessed by FACS analysis. Differentiation assessment revealed a strong osteogenic and adipogenic potential of SHEDs. In order to further evaluate the in vitro differentiation potential of SHED into neural cells, a simple short time growth factor-mediated induction was used. Immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometric analysis revealed that SHED rapidly expressed nestin and b-III tubulin, and later expressed intermediate neural markers. In addition, the intensity and percentages of nestin and b-III tubulin and mature neural markers (PSA-NCAM, NeuN, Tau, TH, or GFAP) increased significantly following treatment. Moreover, RT-PCR and Western blot analyses showed that the neural markers were strongly up-regulated after induction. In conclusion, these results provide evidence that SHED can differentiate into neural cells by the expression of a comprehensive set of genes and proteins that define neural-like cells in vitro. SHED cells might be considered as new candidates for the autologous transplantation of a wide variety of neurological diseases and neurotraumatic injuries.  相似文献

The biologic characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from two distinct tissues, bone marrow and adipose tissue were evaluated in these studies. MSCs derived from human and non-human primate (rhesus monkey) tissue sources were compared. The data indicate that MSCs isolated from rhesus bone marrow (rBMSCs) and human adipose tissue (hASCs) had more similar biologic properties than MSCs of rhesus adipose tissue (rASCs) and human bone marrow MSCs (hBMSCs). Analyses of in vitro growth kinetics revealed shorter doubling time for rBMSCs and hASCs. rBMSCs and hASCs underwent significantly more population doublings than the other MSCs. MSCs from all sources showed a marked decrease in telomerase activity over extended culture; however, they maintained their mean telomere length. All of the MSCs expressed embryonic stem cell markers, Oct-4, Rex-1, and Sox-2 for at least 10 passages. Early populations of MSCs types showed similar multilineage differentiation capability. However, only the rBMSCs and hASCs retain greater differentiation efficiency at higher passages. Overall in vitro characterization of MSCs from these two species and tissue sources revealed a high level of common biologic properties. However, the results demonstrate clear biologic distinctions, as well.  相似文献

Abstract.  Objectives : Recent studies have suggested the potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into a hepatocyte-like lineage. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of hepatocyte differentiation of MSCs by studying acquisition of hepatocyte-like features together with alteration of the native mesenchymal phenotype. Material and methods : In vitro , we have investigated protein and mRNA level expression of hepatocyte and mesenchymal markers of mesenchymal-derived hepatocyte-like cells (MDHLCs) and we have evaluated their functionality using metabolic assays. In vivo , we investigated co-expression of hepatocyte (albumin, α-foetoprotein, cytokeratin 18) and mesenchymal (fibronectin, vimentin) markers after transplantation of MSCs or MDHLCs into severe combined immune deficiency mice. Results : We observed that while in vitro these cells acquired some phenotypic and functional features of mature hepatocytes, they partially preserved their mesenchymal phenotype. After intrasplenic transplantation, engrafted MSCs with isolated expression of fibronectin and α-foetoprotein were observed. When these cells were injected into the liver, they expressed all analysed markers, confirming the chimaeric co-expression observed in vitro . Conversely, liver-engrafted MDHLCs conserved their hepatocyte-lineage markers but lost their chimaeric phenotype. Conclusions : Hepatocyte differentiation of MSCs predominantly allows the acquisition of phenotypic hallmarks and provides chimaeric cells that maintain expression of initial lineage markers. However, advanced maturation to the hepatocyte-like phenotype could be obtained in vivo by conditioning MSCs prior to transplantation or by infusing cells into the liver micro-environment.  相似文献

Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM MSCs) represent a heterogeneous population of progenitors with potential for generation of skeletal tissues. However the identity of BM MSC subpopulations is poorly defined mainly due to the absence of specific markers allowing in situ localization of those cells and isolation of pure cell types. Here, we aimed at characterization of surface markers in mouse BM MSCs and in their subsets with distinct differentiation potential. Using conditionally immortalized BM MSCs we performed a screening with 176 antibodies and high-throughput flow cytometry, and found 33 markers expressed in MSCs, and among them 3 were novel for MSCs and 13 have not been reported for MSCs from mice. Furthermore, we obtained clonally derived MSC subpopulations and identified bipotential progenitors capable for osteo- and adipogenic differentiation, as well as monopotential osteogenic and adipogenic clones, and thus confirmed heterogeneity of MSCs. We found that expression of CD200 was characteristic for the clones with osteogenic potential, whereas SSEA4 marked adipogenic progenitors lacking osteogenic capacity, and CD140a was expressed in adipogenic cells independently of their efficiency for osteogenesis. We confirmed our observations in cell sorting experiments and further investigated the expression of those markers during the course of differentiation. Thus, our findings provide to our knowledge the most comprehensive characterization of surface antigens expression in mouse BM MSCs to date, and suggest CD200, SSEA4 and CD140a as markers differentially expressed in distinct types of MSC progenitors.  相似文献

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from human amnion have both self-renewal capability and multipotency and are an attractive cell source for cell-based therapy. However, these cells have been shown to be heterogeneous, and as of yet no single-cell-derived MSCs clone has been established from human amnion. This study was carried out to isolate MSCs clones by limiting dilution method and compare their characteristics in vitro. Three clones (namely, 8B, 11D, and 11F) were established from a heterogeneous population of human amnion-derived cells (h-hAMCs). The clones and h-hAMCs successfully proliferated while demonstrating different cumulative population doublings (CPD) during an 80-day culture. In addition, the colony-forming efficiency (CFE) of h-hAMCs was significantly lower than those of 8B and 11F and higher than that of 11D. Clones 8B and 11F were tripotent, whereas 11D did not undergo chondrogenic differentiation. All cells expressed surface markers including CD29, CD44, and CD105 and notably, the clones expressed higher levels of CD105 than h-hAMCs (95.96, 97.05, 98.14% and 72.81% for 8B, 11D, 11F and h-hAMCs, respectively). In addition, the expression of stem cell gene Nanog-3 was associated with the differential differentiation potential of 11D from 8B, 11F, and h-hAMCs. These results suggested that significant differences existed between individual hAMCs. Further studies for developing novel methods to select sub-populations of hAMSCs are warranted for their clinical applications, in which CD105 and stem cell gene Nanog-3 are possible candidate markers.  相似文献

Introduction

Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor, and is refractory to surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) may be harvested from bone marrow (BMSC) and adipose (AMSC) tissue. These cells are a promising avenue of investigation for the delivery of adjuvant therapies. Despite extensive research into putative mechanisms for the tumor tropism of MSCs, there remains no direct comparison of the efficacy and specificity of AMSC and BMSC tropism towards glioma.

Methods

Under an IRB-approved protocol, intraoperative human Adipose MSCs (hAMSCs) were established and characterized for cell surface markers of mesenchymal stem cell origin in conjunction with the potential for tri-lineage differentiation (adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic). Validated experimental hAMSCs were compared to commercially derived hBMSCs (Lonza) and hAMSCs (Invitrogen) for growth responsiveness and glioma tropism in response to glioma conditioned media obtained from primary glioma neurosphere cultures.

Results

Commercial and primary culture AMSCs and commercial BMSCs demonstrated no statistically significant difference in their migration towards glioma conditioned media in vitro. There was statistically significant difference in the proliferation rate of both commercial AMSCs and BMSCs as compared to primary culture AMSCs, suggesting primary cultures have a slower growth rate than commercially available cell lines.

Conclusions

Adipose- and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells have similar in vitro glioma tropism. Given the well-documented ability to harvest larger numbers of AMSCs under local anesthesia, adipose tissue may provide a more efficient source of MSCs for research and clinical applications, while minimizing patient morbidity during cell harvesting.  相似文献

The objective of the study is to evaluate efficiency of in vitro isolation and myogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from adipose connective tissue (AD-MSCs), bone marrow (BM-MSCs), and skeletal muscle tissue (MC-MSCs). MSCs were isolated from adipose connective tissue, bone marrow, and skeletal muscle tissue of two adult 6-wk-old rats. Cultured MSCs were treated with 5-azacytidine (AZA) to induce myogenic differentiation. Isolated MSCs and differentiated cells were evaluated by immunocytochemistry (ICC), fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), PCR, and RT-PCR. AD-MSCs showed the highest proliferation rate while BM-MSCs had the lowest one. In ICC, isolated MSCs had strong CD90- and CD44-positive expression and negative expression of CD45, CD31, and CD34, while AZA-treated MSCs had strong positive desmin expression. In FACS analysis, AD-MSCs had the highest percentage of CD90- and CD44-positive-expressing cells (99% and 96%) followed by BM-MSCs (97% and 94%) and MC-MSCs (92% and 91%).At 1 wk after incubation with AZA treatment, the peak of myogenin expression reached 93% in differentiated MC-MSCs, 83.3% in BM-MSCs, and 77% in AD-MSCs. MSCs isolated from adipose connective tissue, bone marrow, and skeletal muscle tissue have the same morphology and phenotype, but AD-MSCs were the most easily accessible and had the highest rate of growth on cultivation and the highest percentage of stem cell marker expression. Moreover, although MC-MSCs showed the highest rate of myogenic differentiation potential and expression of myoblast markers, AD-MSCs and BM-MSCs still can be valuable alternatives. The differentiated myoblastic cells could be an available new choice for myoblastic auto-transplantation in regeneration medicine.  相似文献

Mesenchymal stroma cells (MSCs) have potential as an emerging cell therapy for treating many different diseases, but discovery of the practical sources of MSCs is needed for the large-scale clinical application of this therapy. This study was to identify MSCs in peritoneal dialysis (PD) effluents that were discarded after PD. The effluents were collected from patients who were on the dialysis for less than 1 month. Adherent cells from the effluents were isolated by incubation in serum-containing medium in plastic culture dishes. Cell surface markers were determined by a flow cytometric analysis, and the in vitro differentiation to chondrocytes, osteocytes or adipocytes was confirmed by staining with a specific dye. After four passages, these isolated cells displayed the typical morphology of mesenchymal cells in traditional 2-D cultures, and were grown to form spherical colonies in 3-D collagen cultures. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that the unsorted cells from all of seven patient samples showed robust expression of typical mesenchymal marker CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90 and CD166, and the absence of CD34, CD79a, CD105, CD271, SSEA-4, Stro-1 and HLA-DR. In differentiation assays, these cells were induced in vitro to chondrocytes, osteocytes or adipocytes. In conclusion, this preliminary study suggests the presence of MSCs in the “discarded” PD effluents. Further characterization of the phenotypes of these MSCs and evaluation of their therapeutic potential, particularly for the prevention of PD failure, are needed.  相似文献

To investigate the effect of uric acid on the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). The hBMSCs were isolated from bone marrow of six healthy donors. Cell morphology was observed by microscopy and cell surface markers (CD44 and CD34) of hBMSCs were analyzed by immunofluorescence. Cell morphology and immunofluorescence analysis showed that hBMSCs were successfully isolated from bone marrow. The number of hBMSCs in uric acid groups was higher than that in the control group on day 3, 4, and 5. Alizarin red staining showed that number of calcium nodules in uric acid groups was more than that of the control group. Oil red‐O staining showed that the number of red fat vacuoles decreased with the increased concentration of uric acid. In summary, uric acid could promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs while inhibit adipogenic differentiation of hBMSCs.  相似文献

The proliferation and osteogenic capacity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) needs to be improved for their use in cell-based therapy for osteoporosis. (?)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), one of the green tea catechins, has been widely investigated in studies of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. However, no consensus on its role as an osteogenic inducer has been reached, possibly because of the various types of cell lines examined and the range of concentrations of EGCG used. In this study, the osteogenic effects of EGCG are studied in primary human bone-marrow-derived MSCs (hBMSCs) by detecting cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and the expression of relevant osteogenic markers. Our results show that EGCG has a strong stimulatory effect on hBMSCs developing towards the osteogenic lineage, especially at a concentration of 5 μM, as evidenced by an increased ALP activity, the up-regulated expression of osteogenic genes and the formation of bone-like nodules. Further exploration has indicated that EGCG directes osteogenic differentiation via the continuous up-regulation of Runx2. The underlying mechanism might involve EGCG affects on osteogenic differentiation through the modulation of bone morphogenetic protein-2 expression. EGCG has also been found to promote the proliferation of hBMSCs in a dose-dependent manner. This might be associated with its antioxidative effect leading to favorable amounts of reactive oxygen species in the cellular environment. Our study thus indicates that EGCG can be used as a pro-osteogenic agent for the stem-cell-based therapy of osteoporosis.  相似文献

Background aimsBone marrow and subcutaneous adipose tissue are both considered prospective sources of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which can be used in cell therapy for spinal cord injury (SCI). The present study investigated whether human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hADSCs) transplanted into a rat model of SCI would lead to similar or improved neurologic effects compared with human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hBMSCs).MethodshADSCs and hBMSCs were isolated from five adult donors. These MSCs were characterized using flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immediately after SCI, 2 × 105 hBMSCs or hADSCs were injected into the injured spinal cord. Locomotor function, cell survival and differentiation, spinal cord tissue morphology and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression were compared between groups.ResultshADSCs and hBMSCs showed similar surface protein expression, and hADSCs showed higher proliferative activity with higher expression of vascular endothelial cell growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor and BDNF than hBMSCs. After transplant, both hADSCs and hBMSCs migrated within the injured spinal cord without differentiating into glial or neuronal elements. Administration of hADSCs was associated with marked changes in the SCI environment, with significant increases in BDNF levels. This was simultaneously associated with increased angiogenesis, preserved axons, decreased numbers of ED1-positive macrophages and reduced lesion cavity formation. These changes were accompanied by improved functional recovery.ConclusionsThe present results suggest that hADSCs would be more appropriate for transplant to treat SCI than hBMSCs.  相似文献
