AbstractThe aim of this study was to analyze whether the mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) isolated from palatal tissue grafts harvested in order to cover gingival recessions have the basic characteristics of stem cells. The palatal tissue cells were processed using a special culture medium that stimulated the development of only undifferentiated cellular lines. Cells at passage 4 were evaluated by flow cytometry to examine the expression of specific surface markers and were tested for multilineage differentiation capacity. These cells collected at passage 4 were also investigated for the capacity to cluster into embryoid body aggregates. Palatal MSCs displayed positive staining for the mesenchymal markers CD29, CD73, CD105, CD 49e, and CD44, but did not express hematopoietic markers CD34/45. The palatal MSCs successfully differentiated into osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineages. When seeded in special conditions, palatal MSCs propagated into unattached spheres resembling embryoid body aggregates consisting both of differentiated and undifferentiated cells as revealed at the ultrastructural evaluation. It is concluded that the isolated palatal MSCs fulfilled the basic criteria defining the stem cells. This new source of stem cells characterized here for the first time opens new perspectives on possible applications in basic research and in regenerative medicine.

Abstract Background Nerve injuries are debilitating, leading to long-term motor deficits. Remyelination and axonal growth are supported and enhanced by growth factor and cytokines. Combination of nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) with adipose-tissue-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (AdMSCs) has been performing promising strategy for nerve regeneration. Methods 3D-printed polycaprolactone (PCL)-NGCs were fabricated. Wistar rats subjected to critical sciatic nerve damage (12-mm gap) were divided into sham, autograft, PCL (empty NGC), and PCL + MSCs (NGC multi-functionalized with 106 canine AdMSCs embedded in heterologous fibrin biopolymer) groups. In vitro, the cells were characterized and directly stimulated with interferon-gamma to evaluate their neuroregeneration potential. In vivo, the sciatic and tibial functional indices were evaluated for 12 weeks. Gait analysis and nerve conduction velocity were analyzed after 8 and 12 weeks. Morphometric analysis was performed after 8 and 12 weeks following lesion development. Real-time PCR was performed to evaluate the neurotrophic factors BDNF, GDNF, and HGF, and the cytokine and IL-10. Immunohistochemical analysis for the p75NTR neurotrophic receptor, S100, and neurofilament was performed with the sciatic nerve. Results The inflammatory environment in vitro have increased the expression of neurotrophins BDNF, GDNF, HGF, and IL-10 in canine AdMSCs. Nerve guidance conduits multi-functionalized with canine AdMSCs embedded in HFB improved functional motor and electrophysiological recovery compared with PCL group after 12 weeks. However, the results were not significantly different than those obtained using autografts. These findings were associated with a shift in the regeneration process towards the formation of myelinated fibers. Increased immunostaining of BDNF, GDNF, and growth factor receptor p75NTR was associated with the upregulation of BDNF, GDNF, and HGF in the spinal cord of the PCL + MSCs group. A trend demonstrating higher reactivity of Schwann cells and axonal branching in the sciatic nerve was observed, and canine AdMSCs were engrafted at 30 days following repair. Conclusions 3D-printed NGCs multi-functionalized with canine AdMSCs embedded in heterologous fibrin biopolymer as cell scaffold exerted neuroregenerative effects. Our multimodal approach supports the trophic microenvironment, resulting in a pro-regenerative state after critical sciatic nerve injury in rats.

BackgroundMacrophages are immunological cells that sense microenvironmental signals that may result in the polarized expression of either proinflammatory (M1) or anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype.1 Macrophages M2 are present in tumoral microenvironment and their presence in patients with cervical cancer (CeCa) is related with less survival.2Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) are also present in tumor microenvironment of cervical cancer (CeCa-MSC), which have shown immunoregulatory effects over CD8 T cells, decreasing their cytotoxic effect against tumoral cells.3 Interestingly, MSCs from bone marrow (BM-MSC) decrease M1 and increase M2 macrophage polarization in an in vitro coculture system.4 Macrophages and MSCs are present in microenvironment of cervical cancer, however it is unknown if MSCs play a role in macrophage polarization. In the present study, we have evaluated the immunoregulatory capacity of CeCa-MSCs to induce macrophage polarization.MethodsCD14 monocytes were isolated from peripheral blood and cultivated in the absence or presence of MSCs from BM, normal cervix (NCx) and CeCa. Two culture conditions were included, in the presence of induction medium to favors M1 (GM-CSF, LPS and IFNg) or M2 (M-CSF, IL-4 and IL-13) macrophage polarization. M1 (HLA-DR, CD80, CD86 and IFNg) or M2 (CD14, CD163, CD206, IDO and IL-10) macrophage molecular markers were evaluated by flow cytometry. Finally, we evaluated concentration of IL-10 and TNFa in conditioned medium form all coculture conditions.ResultsWe observed that CeCa-MSCs and BM-MSCs in presence of M1 induction medium, decreased M1 macrophage markers (HLA-II, CD80, CD86 and IFNg), and increase the expression of CD14 (M2 macrophage marker). Interestingly, in presence of M2 induction medium, BM-MSCs and CaCe-MSCs but not CxN-MSC increased CD163, CD206, IDO and IL-10 (M2 macrophage markers). We observed a decreased concentration of TNFa in the supernatant medium from all cocultures with MSCs, but only in presence of CeCa-MSCs, increased IL-10 concentration was detected in such cocultures.ConclusionsIn contrast to NCx-MSCs, CeCa-MSCs similarly to BM-MSCs have in vitro capacity to decrease M1 and increase M2 macrophage phenotype.AcknowledgementsAcknowledgments The authors are indebted to gratefully acknowledge to CONACYT (Grant No. 272793) and IMSS (Grant no. 1731) for support to Juan J.

Η ανακάλυψη της μεθόδου του κυτταρικού επαναπρογραμματισμού ανθρώπινων δερματικών ινοβλαστών σε επαγόμενα πολυδύναμα βλαστοκύτταρα (induced pluripotent stem cells, iPSCs) το 2007 άνοιξε το δρόμο για τη μελέτη και την εξατομικευμένη θεραπεία πολλών χρόνιων νόσων. Επιδιώξαμε να δημιουργήσουμε iPS - κυτταρικές σειρές επαναπρογραμματίζοντας μεσεγχυματικά στρωματικά κύτταρα (mesenchymal stromal cells, MSCs) μυελού των οστών, μέσω μιας μεθόδου επαναπρογραμματισμού χωρίς ενσωμάτωση γονιδίων στο γενετικό υλικό των κυττάρων. Δερματικοί ινοβλάστες από φυσιολογικούς δότες και μεσεγχυματικά στρωματικά κύτταρα μυελού των οστών από φυσιολογικό δότη μεταμόσχευσης μυελού των οστών και από ασθενή με β-Μεσογειακή αναιμία (β-ΜΑ) διαμολύνθηκαν, μέσω λιποσωματικών φορέων, με συνθετικά mRNA που κωδικοποιούν τους μεταγραφικούς παράγοντες Oct4, Klf4, Sox2, Lin28, c-Myc. Στη συνέχεια, τα κύτταρα ελέγχθηκαν σε καλλιέργειες για τον σχηματισμό αποικιών πολυδύναμων βλαστοκυττάρων. Οι αποικίες απομονώθηκαν και με συνεχείς ανακαλλιέργειες δημιουργήθηκαν κυτταρικές σειρές, οι οποίες εξετάστηκαν για την πολυδυναμία τους με μεθόδους ανίχνευσης της έκφρασης των μεταγραφικών παραγόντων πολυδυναμίας (κυτταρομετρία ροής, RT-PCR, μελέτη του μεταγραφώματος με RNA μικροσυστοιχίες). Ως θετικός μάρτυρας και μέτρο σύγκρισης χρησιμοποιήθηκε πολύ καλά χαρακτηρισμένη εμβρυονική σειρά πολυδύναμων βλαστοκυττάρων. Οι iPS-κυτταρικές σειρές μελετήθηκαν, επίσης, ως προς τη λειτουργική τους πολυδυναμία με τον έλεγχο της ικανότητας τους να δημιουργούν in vitro εμβρυϊκά σωματίδια και in vivo τερατώματα μετά από υποδόρια εμφύτευση τους σε ανοσοανεπαρκείς ποντικούς, και ως προς τη δυνατότητα διαφοροποίησής τους σε αιμοποιητικά προγονικά κύτταρα. Η γενετική σταθερότητα των κυτταρικών σειρών ελέγχθηκε με DNA μικροσυστοιχίες συγκριτικού γονιδιωματικού υβριδισμού (aCGH). Απομονώθηκαν 3 iPS κυτταρικές σειρές από κάθε δείγμα κυττάρων, οι οποίες εμφανίζουν μεταγράφωμα πανομοιότυπο με εκείνο των πολυδύναμων εμβρυονικών βλαστοκυττάρων και. δημιουργούν εμβρυϊκά σωματίδια in vitro και τερατώματα in vivo, τα οποία αποτελούνται από ιστούς καταγωγής και από τα τρία βλαστικά δέρματα. Τα iPSCs των κυτταρικών σειρών πολλαπλασιάζονται για μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα χωρίς μορφολογικές ενδείξες διαφοροποίησης. Με τη μέθοδο aCGH, στις iPS κυτταρικές σειρές μετά την 10η ανακαλλιέργεια ανιχνεύθηκαν πολυμορφισμοί στον αριθμό αντιγράφων (CNVs), τα οποία ήταν ελλείμματα μεγέθους περίπου 3 Mb. Η διαφοροποίηση των iPSCs σε αιμοποιητικά προγονικά κύτταρα οδήγησε στην παραγωγή CD34+ κυττάρων σε ποσοστό 8-10% των παραχθέντων κυττάρων με ασθενούς έντασης συνέκφραση του CD45, προσομοιάζοντας στο αιμαγγειακό στελεχιαίο κύτταρο. Στην παρούσα διατριβή παρουσιάζεται, για πρώτη φορά στην Ελλάδα, εξ όσων γνωρίζουμε, η τεχνολογία παραγωγής ανθρώπινων iPSCs με μια ασφαλή και αξιόπιστη μέθοδο. Οι iPSCs-κυτταρικές σειρές μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθούν στη μελέτη ασθενειών, στον έλεγχο φαρμάκων και στην ανάπτυξη πρωτοκόλλων ιστικής μηχανικής και κυτταρικής θεραπείας.

4-oxo-4H-pyran-2.6-dicarboxylic acid (chelidonic acid, ChA) in the native state and in the complex with calcium [Ca(ChA)(H2O)3], named saucalchelin (CaChA), was isolated from the extract of Saussurea controversa leaves for the first time for the Asteraceae family. The structure of ChA was determined by NMR, MS and confirmed by X-ray analysis of its monomethyl ester, and CaChA was described by IR, ICP-MS, CHN analysis. The yield of ChA and CaChA was 45 mg/g and 70 mg/g of extract, respectively. The osteogenic activity of ChA, n-monobutyl ester of chelidonic acid, and CaChA has been studied in vitro in a 21-day culture of human adipose-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (hAMMSCs) in a standard nutrient medium without osteogenic supplements. CaChA significantly stimulated the growth of cell mass and differentiation of hAMMSCs into osteoblasts with subsequent mineralization of the culture and it may be a promising substance for accelerating bone tissue regeneration and engineering.
