AbstractIt is well accepted that umbilical cord blood has been a source for hematopoietic stem cells. However, controversy exists as to whether cord blood can serve as a source of mesenchymal stem cells, which can differentiate into cells of different connective tissue lineages such as bone, cartilage, and fat, and little success has been reported in the literature about the isolation of such cells from cord blood. Here we report a novel method to obtain single cell-derived, clonally expanded mesenchymal stem cells that are of multilineage differentiation potential by negative immunoselection and limiting dilution. The immunophenotype of these clonally expanded cells is consistent with that reported for bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Under appropriate induction conditions, these cells can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat. Surprisingly, these cells were also able to differentiate into neuroglial- and hepatocyte-like cells under appropriate induction conditions and, thus, these cells may be more than mesenchymal stem cells as evidenced by their ability to differentiate into cell types of all 3 germ layers. In conclusion, umbilical cord blood does contain mesenchymal stem cells and should not be regarded as medical waste. It can serve as an alternative source of mesenchymal stem cells to bone marrow.

Hematopoietic Stem

Human umbilical cord blood as an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells for bone marrow reconstitution, has recently been demonstrated to yield successful HLA-matched placental blood grafts in children. It has been shown that cord blood contains sufficient progenitor cells to effect hematological reconstitution. Since then, more than 25 cord blood stem cells (CBSCs) transplants have been performed worldwide for the treatment of a variety of malignant and nonmalignant diseases. The majority of the grafts performed thus far have utilized CBSCs from HLA-identical siblings. However, much of the interest in this setting is devoted to the potential use of CBSCs for HLA-mismatched and unrelated transplants. Preliminary results suggest that allorecognition and graft-versus-host disease may be less intense in CBSCs transplants than in recipients of similarly compatible bone marrow. This review summarizes the results and potential future applications of cord blood transplantation.

Abstract Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC) are routinely obtained from bone marrow, mobilized peripheral blood, and umbilical Cord Blood. Traditionally, adult bone marrow has been utilized as a source of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC). Bone marrow derived MSC (BM-MSC) have previously been shown to maintain the growth of HSC obtained from cord blood and have been utilized for cord blood expansion purposes. However, the use of a mismatched BM-MSC feeder stromal layer to support the long term culture of cord blood HSC is not ideal for transplant purposes. The isolation of MSC from a novel source, the Wharton’s Jelly of Umbilical Cord segments, was recently reported (Romanov Y, et al. Stem Cells.2003; 21: 105–110) (Lee O, et al. Blood.2004; 103: 1669–1675). We therefore hypothesized that Umbilical Cord derived MSC (UC-MSC) have the ability to support the long term growth of cord blood derived HSC similar to that previously reported for BM-MSC. To test this hypothesis, MSC were isolated from the Wharton’s Jelly of Umbilical Cord segments and defined morphologically and by cell surface markers. UC-MSC were then tested for their ability to support the growth of pooled CD34+ cord blood cells in long term culture - initiating cell (LTC-IC) assays as compared to BM-MSC. We observed that like BM-MSC, CB-MSC express a defined set of cell surface markers. By flow cytometry we determined that that both UC-MSC and BM-MSC are positive for CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD166, HLA-A and negative for CD45, CD34, CD38, CD117, HLA-DR expression. Utilizing Mitomycin C treated (200 μM, 15 min.) UC-MSC from multiple donors as a feeder layer we observed that UC-MSC have the ability to support the maintenance of long term hematopoiesis during the LTC-IC assay. Specifically, UC-MSC isolated from separate umbilical cord donors support the growth of 69.6±11.9 (1A), 31.7±3.9 (2B), 67.0±13.5 (3A), and 38.5±13.7 (3B) colony forming cells (CFC) per 1×104 CD34+ cord blood cells as compared to 64.0±4.2 CFC per 1×104 CD34+ cord blood cells supported by BM-MSC (Mean±SEM, N=4 separate segments from three different donors). Thus, Umbilical Cord derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells, a recently described novel source of MSC, have the ability to support long term maintenance of Hematopoietic Stem Cells, as defined by the LTC-IC assay. These results may have potential therapeutic application with respect to ex vivo stem cell expansion of Cord Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cells utilizing a Mesenchymal Stem Cell stromal layer. In addition, these data suggest the possibility of co-transplantation of matched Mesenchymal and Hematopoietic Stem Cells from the same umbilical cord and cord blood donor respectively. Lastly, these results describe a novel model system for the future study of the interaction between Cord Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cells and the appropriate supportive microenvironment represented by the Umbilical Cord - Mesenchymal Stem Cells.
