For their clinical use Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs), isolated from bone marrow (BM-MSCs) are considered Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP) and need to be produced according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). Human platelet lysate (HPL) represents a good GMP-compliant alternative to animal serum and after pathogen inactivation with Psoralen was more efficient and safer to produce MSCs in GMP. In this study MSCs cultivated in FBS (FBS-MSC) or inactivated HPL (iHPL-MSC), were compared for their immunomodulant properties. In particular, the effects of MSCs on: 1)proliferation of total Lymphocytes (Ly) and on naïve T Ly subsets induced to differentiate versus Th1 and Th2 Ly; 2) the immunophenotype of different T cell subsets; 3)the cytokine release to verify Th1, Th2 and Th17 polarization were analyzed by using in vitro co-culture system. We observed that iHPL-MSCs showed the same immunomodulant properties observed in the FBS-MSCs co-cultures. Although, a more efficient effect on the increase of naïve T cells and, in the Th1 cytokine release related to iHPL was observed. This study confirms that iHPL, used as medium supplement, may be considered a good alternative to FBS for a GMP-compliant MSC expansion to preserve their immunomodulant proprieties.

Due to their ability to induce immunological tolerance in the recipient, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been utilized in the treatment of various hematological and immune- and inflammation-mediated diseases. The clinical application of MSCs implies prior in vitro expansion that usually includes the use of fetal bovine serum (FBS). The present study evaluated the effect of different platelet lysate (PL) media content on the biological properties of MSCs. MSCs were isolated from the bone marrow of 13 healthy individuals and subsequently expanded in three different culture conditions (10% PL, 5% PL, 10% FBS) during 4 passages. The cells cultured in different conditions had comparable immunophenotype, clonogenic potential, and differentiation capacity. However, MSC growth was significantly enhanced in the presence of PL. Cultures supplemented with 10% PL had a higher number of cumulative population doublings in all passages when compared to the 5% PL condition (p < 0.03). Such a difference was also observed when 10% PL and 10% FBS conditions were compared (p < 0.005). A statistically significant difference in population doubling time was determined only between the 10% PL and 10% FBS conditions (p < 0.005). Furthermore, MSCs cultured in 10% PL were able to cause a 66.9% reduction of mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation. Three chromosome aberrations were detected in PL conditions. Since two changes occurred in the same do nor, it is possible they were donor dependent rather than caused by the culture condition. These findings demonstrate that a 10% PL condition enables a higher yield of MSCs within a shorter time without altering MSC properties, and should be favored over the 5% PL condition.
