Tissue Repair And Regeneration

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit high proliferation and self-renewal capabilities and are critical for tissue repair and regeneration during ontogenesis. They also play a role in immunomodulation. MSCs can be isolated from a variety of tissues and have many potential applications in the clinical setting. However, MSCs of different origins may possess different biological characteristics. In this study, we performed a comprehensive comparison of MSCs isolated from bone marrow and skin (BMMSCs and SMSCs, resp.), including analysis of the skin sampling area, separation method, culture conditions, primary and passage culture times, cell surface markers, multipotency, cytokine secretion, gene expression, and fibroblast-like features. The results showed that the MSCs from both sources had similar cell morphologies, surface markers, and differentiation capacities. However, the two cell types exhibited major differences in growth characteristics; the primary culture time of BMMSCs was significantly shorter than that of SMSCs, whereas the growth rate of BMMSCs was lower than that of SMSCs after passaging. Moreover, differences in gene expression and cytokine secretion profiles were observed. For example, secretion of proliferative cytokines was significantly higher for SMSCs than for BMMSCs. Our findings provide insights into the different biological functions of both cell types.

Adipose tissue presents an appealing alternative to bone marrow as a source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). However, in order to enhance cell proliferation and differentiation, 3-dimensional (3-D) culture may be required. A 3-D culture has benefits due to its more in vivo-like environment. Further, to form a functional tissue, a scaffold material is required to ensure proper shape and allow for efficient delivery of nutrients and growth factors. Alginate, a resorbable hydrogel, is a potential injectable scaffold for fat and bone tissue engineering due to its high biocompatibility, gelation with calcium and slow dissolution in a physiologic environment. In the present study, we examined the viability, gene expression and morphology of MSC, isolated from porcine adipose (ADSC) and bone marrow (BMSC), during osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation in a 3D alginate hydrogel environment for 0, 7 and 14 days (d). ADSC and BMSC were infused into alginate hydrogels, which polymerized upon the addition of Ca+2 ions. Both stem cell types were differentiated into osteoblasts using 0.1 μm dexamethasone, 10 mm beta glycerophosphate and 50 μm ascorbic acid, whereas adipocytes were differentiated using 10 μm insulin, 1 μm dexamethasone, and 0.5 mm IBMX. Osteogenic differentiation was confirmed using alkaline phosphatase, Von Kossa, and alizarin red S staining and adipogenic differentiation was confirmed using Oil Red O. Cell viability and proliferation was quantified using the MTT assay. Gene expression was measured using qPCR. The morphology of ADSC and BMSC differentiated toward osteogenic lineages changed with both cell types forming osteogenic nodules over time. The nodules formed by ADSC were larger in diameter than those formed by BMSC. Unlike the osteogenic cells that formed nodules, the ADSC and BMSC differentiated into adipogenic cells showed no significant changes in cell size or aggregation. Gene expression results indicated increased PPARG expression in BMSC with time whereas ADSC showed a peak of expression on day 7 and then decreased. ADSC showed increased (14-fold) PPRG expression when compared with BMSC. ADSC had 160-fold less expression of ALP than BMSC. BMSC showed a 16-fold higher expression level of BGLAP than ADSC. ADSC showed a 15.8% higher expression than BMSC for COL1a1. Both ADSC and BMSC showed similar trends SPARC expression, but BMSC had a 12-fold higher expression of SPP1 than ADSC. In summary, both types of mesenchymal stem cells successfully differentiated into both lineages and maintained viability in the hydrogel over time. In conclusion, alginate is a viable scaffold material for the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells for tissue engineering applications. These results allow for future studies using the pig as an in vivo fat and bone tissue engineering model. This research was supported by the Illinois Regenerative Medicine Institute.

Abstract Background Bone marrow (BM) and umbilical cord (UC) are the main sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These two MSCs display significant differences in many biological characteristics, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms need to be explored. Results In this study, to better understanding the biological features of MSCs, we isolated BMMSCs and UCMSCs from inbred Wuzhishan miniature pigs and generated the first global DNA methylation and gene expression profiles of porcine MSCs. The results showed that the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation ability of porcine BMMSCs is stronger than that of UCMSCs. Stem cell surface marker CD90 were positively detected in both BMMSCs and UCMSCs. 587 genes were differentially methylated (280 hypermethylated and 307 hypomethylated) at the promoter regions between BMMSCs and UCMSCs. Meanwhile, 1,979 differentially expressed genes (1,407 up-regulated and 572 down-regulated) were identified between BMMSCs and UCMSCs. Integrative analysis reveals that 120 genes displayed differences in both gene expression and promoter methylation. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis revealed that these differential genes were associated with cell differentiation, cell migration, and immunogenicity properties. Remarkably, skeletal system development related genes were significantly hypomethylated and up-regulated in UCMSCs, while cell cycle genes were significantly higher down-regulated and hypermethylated, implying UCMSCs have higher cell proliferative activity and lower osteogenic differentiation potential than BMMSCs. Conclusions Our results indicate that DNA methylation plays an important role in regulating the biological characteristics differences between BMMSCs and UCMSCs. The study might provide a molecular theory basis for the application of porcine MSCs in human.

AbstractMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are important in regenerative medicine because of their potential for multi-differentiation. Bone marrow, chorion and placenta have all been suggested as potential sources for clinical application. However, the osteogenic differentiation potential of MSCs derived from chorion or placenta is not very efficient. Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) plays an important role in bone development. Its effect on osteogenic augmentation has been addressed in several studies. Recent studies have also shown a relationship between miRNAs and osteogenesis. We hypothesized that miRNAs targeted to Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx-2), a major transcription factor of osteogenesis, are responsible for regulating the differentiation of MSCs into osteoblasts. This study examines the effect of BMP-2 on the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs isolated from chorion and placenta in comparison to bone marrow-derived MSCs and investigates the role of miRNAs in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs from these sources. MSCs were isolated from human bone marrow, chorion and placenta. The osteogenic differentiation potential after BMP-2 treatment was examined using ALP staining, ALP activity assay, and osteogenic gene expression. Candidate miRNAs were selected and their expression levels during osteoblastic differentiation were examined using real-time RT-PCR. The role of these miRNAs in osteogenesis was investigated by transfection with specific miRNA inhibitors. The level of osteogenic differentiation was monitored after anti-miRNA treatment. MSCs isolated from chorion and placenta exhibited self-renewal capacity and multi-lineage differentiation potential similar to MSCs isolated from bone marrow. BMP-2 treated MSCs showed higher ALP levels and osteogenic gene expression compared to untreated MSCs. All investigated miRNAs (miR-31, miR-106a and miR148) were consistently downregulated during the process of osteogenic differentiation. After treatment with miRNA inhibitors, ALP activity and osteogenic gene expression increased over the time of osteogenic differentiation. BMP-2 has a positive effect on osteogenic differentiation of chorion- and placenta-derived MSCs. The inhibition of specific miRNAs enhanced the osteogenic differentiation capacity of various MSCs in culture and this strategy might be used to promote bone regeneration. However, further in vivo experiments are required to assess the validity of this approach.

Human multipotent stem cell-based therapies have shown remarkable potential in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering applications due to their abilities of self-renewal and differentiation into multiple adult cell types under appropriate conditions. Presently, human multipotent stem cells can be isolated from different sources, but variation among their basic biology can result in suboptimal selection of seed cells in preclinical and clinical research. Thus, the goal of this study was to compare the biological characteristics of multipotent stem cells isolated from human bone marrow, placental decidua basalis, and urine, respectively. First, we found that urine-derived stem cells (USCs) displayed different morphologies compared with other stem cell types. USCs and placenta decidua basalis-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PDB-MSCs) had superior proliferation ability in contrast to bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs); these cells grew to have the highest colony-forming unit (CFU) counts. In phenotypic analysis using flow cytometry, similarity among all stem cell marker expression was found, excluding CD29 and CD105. Regarding stem cell differentiation capability, USCs were observed to have better adipogenic and endothelial abilities as well as vascularization potential compared to BMSCs and PDB-MSCs. As for osteogenic and chondrogenic induction, BMSCs were superior to all three stem cell types. Future therapeutic indications and clinical applications of BMSCs, PDB-MSCs, and USCs should be based on their characteristics, such as growth kinetics and differentiation capabilities.

Lineage Commitment

Human mesenchymal stem cells have a high potential in regenerative medicine. They can be isolated from a variety of adult tissues, including bone marrow, and can be differentiated into multiple cell types of the mesodermal lineage, including adipocytes, osteocytes, and chondrocytes. Stem cell differentiation is controlled by a process of interacting lineage-specific and multipotent genes. In this chapter, the authors use full genome microarrays to explore gene expression profiles in the process of Osteo-, Adipo-, and Chondro-Genic lineage commitment of human mesenchymal stem cells.
