Wound Model

Mesenchymal stromal cells and the derived conditioned media represent an area of tremendous medical interest and, among other clinical applications, are currently being extensively explored for wound healing. The aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate the wound healing potential of xeno-free human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and the conditioned media (CM) in a full-thickness excision wound model in rats. The evaluation parameters included rate of wound healing, serum cytokine analyses, collagen content, histopathology, and hyperspectral imaging as an independent qualitative and quantitative tool. Both the cell-based and cell-free approaches scored better in lower inflammation, as evidenced in lower IL-10 and stable IL-6 levels, and improved rate of wound healing (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.0001). More importantly, no adverse reaction or rejection was observed although human MSCs and CM were used in a xenogeneic model. The presence of hFGF, hHGF, hGCSF, hIL-1Ra, hVEGF, and hIL-6 in the secretome may elucidate the regenerative potential of the xeno-free cell-based and cell-free approaches which have translational value for advanced wound care. The results revealed the therapeutic potential of both the cell-based and cell-free approaches for wound healing.

Immunomodulatory Properties

The therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is largely attributed to their immunomodulatory properties, which can be further improved by hypoxia priming. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory properties of MSCs preconditioned with hypoxia-mimetic Vadadustat (AKB-6548, Akebia). Gene expression analysis of immunomodulatory factors was performed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) on RNA isolated from six human bone-marrow derived MSCs populations preconditioned for 6 h with 40 μM Vadadustat compared to control MSCs. The effect of Vadadustat preconditioning on MSCs secretome was determined using Proteome Profiler and Luminex, while their immunomodulatory activity was assessed by mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) and Culturex transwell migration assays. Real-time PCR revealed that Vadadustat downregulated genes related to immune system: IL24, IL1B, CXCL8, PDCD1LG1, PDCD1LG2, HIF1A, CCL2 and IL6, and upregulated IL17RD, CCL28 and LEP. Vadadustat caused a marked decrease in the secretion of IL6 (by 51%), HGF (by 47%), CCL7 (MCP3) (by 42%) and CXCL8 (by 40%). Vadadustat potentiated the inhibitory effect of MSCs on the proliferation of alloactivated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and reduced monocytes-enriched PBMCs chemotaxis towards the MSCs secretome. Preconditioning with Vadadustat may constitute a valuable approach to improve the therapeutic properties of MSCs.

Allogeneic Mscs

Animal and human studies have suggested the potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to treat systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, we present the results of compassionate MSC treatments for three SLE patients to provide the proof of concept for a randomized and controlled clinical trial. Three patients of different ethnicities who suffer from chronic SLE, and who presented with class IV active proliferative nephritis confirmed by biopsy, were treated with allogeneic MSCs from healthy donors. Ninety million cells were infused intravenously into each patient during high and very high activity disease flare-ups and follow-up was continued for 9 months. Multi-organic affectation was quantified by the SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI), and indicators of lupus nephritis activity, such as proteinuria, as well as lymphocyte and monocyte antigens and anti-HLA antibodies were measured at 1, 3, 6, and 9 months after treatment. Proteinuria levels improved dramatically during the 1st month after treatment and the ameliorations were sustained throughout the follow-up period. SLEDAI scores revealed early, durable, and substantial remissions that were complete for two patients and partial for the third patient and that permitted medication doses to be reduced 50–90%. These favourable outcomes support completion of the randomized and controlled MSC trial for SLE.
