Long-term culture of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells in vitro leads to their senescence. It is very important to define the maximal passage to which the mesenchymal stromal/stem cells maintain their regenerative properties and can be used for cellular therapies and construction of neo-organs for clinical application. Adipose-derived stromal/stem cells were isolated from porcine adipose tissue. Immunophenotype, population doubling time, viability using bromodeoxyuridine assay, MTT assay, clonogencity, β-galactosidase activity, specific senescence-associated gene expression, apoptosis, and cell cycle of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (AD-MSCs) were analyzed. All analyses were performed through 12 passages (P). Decreasing viability and proliferative potential of AD-MSCs with subsequent passages together with prolonged population doubling time were observed. Expression of β-galactosidase gradually increased after P6. Differentiation potential of AD-MSCs into adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic lineages decreased at the end of culture (P10). No changes in the cell cycle, the number of apoptotic cells and expression of specific AD-MSC markers during the long-term culture were revealed. Molecular analysis showed increased expression of genes involved in activation of inflammatory response. AD-MSCs can be cultured for in vivo applications without loss of their properties up to P6.

Background/Aim. The last decade has been profoundly marked by persistent attempts to use ex vivo expanded and manipulated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as a tool in different types of regenerative therapy. In the present study we described immunophenotype and the proliferative and differentiation potential of cells isolated from pulp remnants of exfoliated deciduous teeth in the final phase of root resorption. Methods. The initial adherent cell population from five donors was obtained by the outgrowth method. Colony forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) assay was performed in passage one. Cell expansion was performed until passage three and all tests were done until passage eight. Cells were labeled for early mesenchymal stem cells markers and analysis have been done using flow cytometry. The proliferative potential was assessed by cell counting in defined time points and population doubling time was calculated. Commercial media were used to induce osteoblastic, chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation. Cytology and histology methods were used for analysis of differentiated cell morphology and extracellular matrix characteristics. Results. According to immunophenotype analyses all undifferentiated cells were positive for the mesenchymal stem cell markers: CD29 and CD73. Some cells expressed CD146 and CD106. The hematopoietic cell marker, CD34, was not detected. In passage one, incidence of CFU-F was 4.7 ? 0.5/100. Population doubling time did not change significantly during cell subcultivation and was in average 25 h. After induction of differentiation, the multicolony derived cell population had a tri-lineage differentiation potential, since mineralized matrix, cartilage-like tissue and adipocytes were successfully formed after three weeks of incubation. Conclusion. Altogether, these data suggest that remnants of deciduous teeth dental pulp contained cell populations with mesenchymal stem cell-like features, with a high proliferation and trilineage differentiation potential and that these cultures are suitable for further in vitro evaluation of cell based therapies.

Background:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a promising role in regenerative medicine with their self-renewal and multilineage differentiation abilities. However, cell expansion is essential before their application and reports have showed that long term culture of MSCs can alter their stem cell characteristics. Wharton’s jelly derived MSCs (WJ-MSCs) as favorable source of MSCs need to be examined in long term culture before used in clinical settings. In this study, WJ-MSCs were isolated via enzymatic digestion using collagenase type 1. Cells at P5, P10 and P15 were observed for their morphology and growth kinetics where the findings showed that the extensive culture of WJ-MSCs can reach an average of 40 population doubling time with slight changes in their fibroblast-like morphology. The analysis of clonogenic activity showed no significant difference in WJ-MSCs’ ability in forming colony at early passage and later passage. Oil Red O and Von Kossa staining results for in vitro differentiation assays of WJ-MSCs into adipocytes and osteocytes showed WJ-MSCs were easily differentiated at P5 compared to P15. The reduction in both proliferation and differentiation potentials of WJ-MSCs were observed at later passages (P15). These suggested that as the passage numbers increases cells loss the ability in maintaining their plasticity. In conclusion, long term culture of WJ-MSCs can impair their stem cell properties therefore improvement in culture method to maintain these properties is essential

Human dermal stem cells (DSCs) have generated significant interest in the field of regenerative medicine due to their prospects of autologous transplantation. The present study evaluated the growth kinetics and phenotypic markers expression in human DSCs. The primary cultures of DSCs (n=3) were established by explant culture and characterization of the cells was carried out by assessing morphology, viability, proliferation rate, population doubling time (PDT), cell cycle status and the expression of cell surface markers such as CD29, CD73, CD90 and CD166. The cells released from tissue explants showed spindleshaped fibroblast morphology with the mean percentage viability varying between 93.43% and 100% from passages 1 to 4. DSCs displayed a strong and steady proliferative potential with an average PDT of 42.55 hrs. Cell cycle profile of DSCs demonstrated the majority of cells (59.80% to 76.29%) at G0/G1 phase. Further, the phenotypic profile of markers confirmed the stromal origin of DSCs by exhibiting positivity for CD29, CD73, CD90 and CD166. In conclusion, the growth kinetics and expression of phenotypic markers are consistent with the notion that skin dermis contains a population of stem cells and can serve as a potential autologous source for therapeutic applications.

It has been proved that terminally differentiated mature adipocytes possess abilities to dedifferentiate into fibroblast-like progeny cells with self-renewal and multiple differentiation, termed dedifferentiated fat (DFAT) cells. However, the biological properties of DFAT cells during long-term culturein vitrohave not been elucidated. Here, we obtained fibroblast-like morphology of porcine DFAT cells by ceiling culture. During the dedifferentiation process, round mature adipocytes with single large lipid droplets changed into spindle-shaped cells accompanied by the adipogenic markersPPARγ,aP2,LPL, andAdiponectinsignificant downregulation. Flow cytometric analysis showed that porcine DFAT cells displayed similar cell-surface antigen profile to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Furthermore, different passages of porcine DFAT cells during long-term culturein vitroretained high levels of cell viabilities (>97%), efficient proliferative capacity including population doubling time ranged from 20 h to 22 h and population doubling reached47.40±1.64by 58 days of culture. In addition, porcine DFAT cells maintained the multiple differentiation capabilities into adipocytes, osteoblasts, and skeletal myocytes and displayed normal chromosomal karyotypes for prolonged passaging. Therefore, porcine DFAT cells may be a novel model of stem cells for studying the functions of gene in the different biological events.

Abstract The milieu of testicular germline stem cells (mGSCs) is characterized as low oxygen (O2) environment, whereas, there in-vitro expansion is typically performed under normoxia (20-21% O2). Here, we evaluated and compared the culture and multilineage differentiation characteristics of enriched (through differential platting and percoll density centrifugation) caprine mGSCs (cmGSCs) under hypoxic (5% O2) and normoxic (21% O2) culture conditions. For this, in addition to growth characteristics and population-doubling time (PDT); viability, proliferation, senescence, and expression of key-markers of adhesion (β-integrin and E-Cadherin) and stemness (OCT-4, THY-1 and UCHL-1) were evaluated and compared under normoxia and hypoxia. Moreover, the extent of multilineage differentiation (neurogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation) was assessed. The survival, viability and proliferation were significantly promoted and PDT was reduced (p < 0.05), thus yielding a higher number of viable cells with larger colonies under hypoxia. Furthermore, expression of stemness and adhesion markers was distinctly increased under lowered O2 condition. Conversely, the presence of differentiated regions and expression of differentiation specific key genes [C/EBPα (adipogenic), nestin and β-tubulin (neurogenic), and COL2A1 (chondrogenic)] were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced under hypoxic conditions. These data demonstrate that culturing cmGSCs under hypoxia augments the growth characteristics, and stemness but not the multilineage differentiation potential of cmGSCs as compared with normoxia. These data are important for the development of robust methodologies for ex-vivo expansion and lineage-committed differentiation of cmGSCs for clinical applications.

AbstractHuman mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), when cultured on tissue culture plate (TCP) for in vitro expansion, they spontaneously lose their proliferative capacity and multi-lineage differentiation potential. They also lose their distinct spindle morphology and become large and flat. After a certain number of population doubling, they enter into permanent cell cycle arrest, called senescence. This is a major roadblock for clinical use of hMSCs which demands large number of cells. A cell culture system is needed which can maintain the stemness of hMSCs over long term passages yet simple to use. In this study, we explore the role of substrate rigidity in maintaining stemness. hMSCs were serially passaged on TCP and 5 kPa poly-acrylamide gel for 20 population doubling. It was found that while on TCP, cell growth reached a plateau at cumulative population doubling (CPD) = 12.5, on 5 kPa gel, they continue to proliferate linearly till we monitored (CPD = 20). We also found that while on TCP, late passage MSCs lost their adipogenic potential, the same was maintained on soft gel. Cell surface markers related to MSCs were also unaltered. We demonstrated that this maintenance of stemness was correlated with delay in onset of senescence, which was confirmed by β-gal assay and by differential expression of vimentin, Lamin A and Lamin B. As preparation of poly-acrylamide gel is a simple, well established, and well standardized protocol, we believe that this system of cell expansion will be useful in therapeutic and research applications of hMSCs.One Sentence SummaryhMSCs retain their stemness when expanded in vitro on soft polyacrylamide gel coated with collagen by delaying senescence.Significance StatementFor clinical applications, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are required in large numbers. As MSCs are available only in scarcity in vivo, to fulfill the need, extensive in vitro expansion is unavoidable. However, on expansion, they lose their replicative and multi-lineage differentiation potential and become senescent. A culture system that can maintain MSC stemness on long-term expansion, without compromising the stemness, is need of the hour. In this paper, we identified polyacrylamide (PAA) hydrogel of optimum stiffness that can be used to maintain stemness of MSCs during in vitro long term culture. Large quantity of MSCs thus grown can be used in regenerative medicine, cell therapy, and in treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Tissue regeneration using human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs) has significant potential as a novel treatment for many degenerative bone and joint diseases. Previous studies have established that age negatively affects the proliferation status and the osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells. The aim of this study was to assess the age-related maintenance of physiological function and differentiation potential of hASCs in vitro. hASCs were isolated from patients of four different age groups: (1) >20 years (n=7), (2) >50 years (n=7), (3) >60 years (n=7), and (4) >70 years (n=7). The hASCs were characterized according to the number of fibroblasts colony forming unit (CFU-F), proliferation rate, population doubling time (PDT), and quantified parameters of adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic differentiation. Compared to younger cells, aged hASCs had decreased proliferation rates, decreased chondrogenic and osteogenic potential, and increased senescent features. A shift in favor of adipogenic differentiation with increased age was also observed. As many bone and joint diseases increase in prevalence with age, it is important to consider the negative influence of age on hASCs viability, proliferation status, and multilineage differentiation potential when considering the potential therapeutic applications of hASCs.

The preservation of hematopoietic stem cell pool in bone marrow (BM) is crucial for sustained hematopoiesis in adults. Studies assessing adult hematopoietic stem cells functionality had been shown that for example loss of quiescence impairs hematopoietic stem cells maintenance. Although, miR-199b is frequently down-regulated in acute myeloid leukemia, its role in hematopoietic stem cells quiescence, self-renewal and differentiation is poorly understood. Our laboratory investigated the role of miR-199b in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) fate using miR-199b-5p global deletion mouse model. Characterization of miR-199b expression pattern among normal HSPC populations revealed that miR-199b is enriched in LT-HSCs and reduced upon myeloablative stress, suggesting its role in HSCs maintenance. Indeed, our results reveal that loss of miR-199b-5p results in imbalance between long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs), short-term hematopoietic stem cells (ST-HSCs) and multipotent progenitors (MMPs) pool. We found that during homeostasis, miR-199b-null HSCs have reduced capacity to maintain quiescent state and exhibit cell-cycle deregulation. Cell cycle analyses showed that attenuation of miR-199b controls HSCs pool, causing defects in G1-S transition of cell cycle, without significant changes in apoptosis. This might be due to increased differentiation of LT-HSCs into MPPs. Indeed, cell differentiation assay in vitro showed that FACS-sorted LT-HSCs (LineagenegSca1posc-Kitpos CD48neg CD150pos) lacking miR-199b have increased differentiation potential into MPP in the presence of early cytokines. In addition, differentiation assays in vitro in FACS-sorted LSK population of 52 weeks old miR-199b KO mice revealed that loss of miR-199b promotes accumulation of GMP-like progenitors but decreases lymphoid differentiation, suggesting that miR199b may regulate age-related pathway. We used non-competitive repopulation studies to show that overall BM donor cellularity was markedly elevated in the absence of miR-199b among HSPCs, committed progenitors and mature myeloid but not lymphoid cell compartments. This may suggest that miR-199b-null LT-HSC render enhanced self-renewal capacity upon regeneration demand yet promoting myeloid reconstitution. Moreover, when we challenged the self-renewal potential of miR-199b-null LT-HSC by a secondary BM transplantation of unfractionated BM cells from primary recipients into secondary hosts, changes in PB reconstitution were dramatic. Gating for HSPCs populations in the BM of secondary recipients in 24 weeks after BMT revealed that levels of LT-HSC were similar between recipients reconstituted with wild-type and miR-199b-KO chimeras, whereas miR-199b-null HSCs contributed relatively more into MPPs. Our data identify that attenuation of miR-199b leads to loss of quiescence and premature differentiation of HSCs. These findings indicate that loss of miR-199b promotes signals that govern differentiation of LT-HSC to MPP leading to accumulation of highly proliferative progenitors during long-term reconstitution. Hematopoietic regeneration via repopulation studies also revealed that miR-199b-deficient HSPCs have a lineage skewing potential toward myeloid lineage or clonal myeloid bias, a hallmark of aging HSCs, implicating a regulatory role for miR-199b in hematopoietic aging.
