Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) from bone marrow cavity are multipotent cells. Their primary function is to support the growth and differentiation of hematologic progenitors. MSCs have been shown to differentiate into a variety of cell types including: bone, adipocytes, cartilage, neuron-like, and muscle-like cells. This project aimed to induce MSCs from rat bone marrow into mature dopamine secreting cells. MSCs were isolated from rat bone marrow, cultured and passaged. After propagating for three generations in vitro culture, MSCs were induced by epidermal growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor and retinoic acid. After induction, morphologic change was examined by light microscope. NSE,MAP-2a, b and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) was examined by immunocytochemistry. The related genes of the differentiated neurons, such as Nurr-1, nestin, mash-1,DR2-L,AADC and TH were detected by RT-PCR. After MSCs were inducted for 7 days,14 days and 21 days, dopamine production and release in the extract and medium of dopaminergic-induced cultured cells was assayed by dopamine ELISA. After 14 days of induction, MSC showed neuron-like morphologic changes and expressed NSE, MAP-2a, b and TH. RT-PCR. showed that these induced cells expressed nerves stem cells gene Nestin,Nurr-1 and dopamine nerves gene mash-1,DR2-L,AADC,TH. Most importantly, dopamine ELISA analysis showed the evidence of dopamine release in the extract and medium of dopaminergic-induced clonal MSCs. The results suggest that bone marrow MSCs from rat can be induced to differentiate into dopaminergic neuron-like cells in vitro. Bone marrow MSCs will provide a promising source of neural progenitor cells and may be a favorable candidate for cellular therapy of Parkinson’s disease.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a promising source for bone repair and regeneration. Recent lines of evidence have shown that appropriate strain could regulate the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Our previous study demonstrated that hydroxyapatite/collagen (HA/Col) composite also played an important role in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of mechanical strain and HA/Col composite on the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow derived MSCs (rBMSCs)in vitro. rBMSCs were treated with cyclic strain generated by a self-designed stretching device with or without the presence of HA/Col composite. Osteogenic differentiation levels were evaluated using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), alkaline phosphatase spectrophotometry, and western blotting. The results demonstrated that mechanical strain combined with HA/Col composite could obviously induce the differentiation of rBMSCs into osteoblasts, which had a better effect than only mechanical strain or HA/Col composite treatment. This provides a new avenue for mechanistic studies of stem cell differentiation and a novel approach to obtain more committed differentiated cells.

Abstract Objectives Hypoxic–ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is a major cause of brain injury in neonates. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) show therapeutic potential for HIBD, and genetic modification may enhance their neuroprotective effects. The goal of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-overexpressing BMSCs (BMSCs-HGF) against HIBD and their underlying mechanisms. Methods: BMSCs were transfected with HGF using adenoviral vectors. HIBD models were established and then BMSCs were transplanted into the brains of HIBD rats via intraventricular injection. 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining was used to measure cerebral infarction volumes. In vitro, primary cultured cortical neurons were co-cultured with BMSCs in a Transwell plate system. Oxygen–glucose deprivation (OGD) was applied to imitate hypoxic–ischemic insult, and PD98059 was added to the culture medium to block the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Cell apoptosis was determined using TUNEL staining. The expression of HGF was measured by immunofluorescence, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), and western blots. The expression of phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK) and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) was measured by western blots. Results HGF-gene transfection promoted BMSC proliferation. Moreover, BMSCs-HGF decreased HIBD-induced cerebral infarction volumes and enhanced the protective effects of the BMSCs against HIBD. BMSCs-HGF also increased expression of HGF, p-ERK, and Bcl-2 in brain tissues. In vitro, BMSC-HGF protected neurons against OGD-induced apoptosis. Inhibition of ERK phosphorylation abolished the neuroprotective effect of BMSCs-HGF against OGD. Conclusions BMSCs-HGF is a potential treatment for HIBD and that the ERK/Bcl-2 pathway is involved in the underlying neuroprotective mechanism.

Cartilage Diseases

The effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in the treatment of cartilage diseases has been demonstrated to be attributed to the paracrine mechanisms, especially the mediation of exosomes. But the exosomes derived from unsynchronized MSCs may be nonhomogeneous and the therapeutic effect varies between samples. Aim: To produce homogeneous and more effective exosomes for the regeneration of cartilage. Materials & methods: In this study we produced specific exosomes from bone marrow MSCs (BMSC) through kartogenin (KGN) preconditioning and investigated their performance in either in vitro or in vivo experiments. Results & conclusion: The exosomes derived from KGN-preconditioned BMSCs (KGN-BMSC-Exos) performed more effectively than the exosomes derived from BMSCs (BMSC-Exos). KGN preconditioning endowed BMSC-Exos with stronger chondral matrix formation and less degradation.

Differentiation Potential

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are isolated from bone marrow or other tissues, and have properties of self renewal and multilineage differentiation ability. The current study investigated the in vitro differentiation potential of porcine bone marrow derived MSCs into hepatocyte-like cells. The MSC were isolated from the bone marrow of adult miniature pigs (7 months old, T-type, PWG Micro-pig®, PWG Genetics, Seoul, Korea) and adherent cells with fibroblast-like morphology were cultured on plastic. Isolated MSCs were positive for CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, and vimentin, and negative for CD34, CD45, major histocompatibility complex-class II (MHC-class II), and swine leukocyte antigen-DR (SLA-DR) by flow cytometry analysis. Further, trilineage differentiation of MSC into osteocytes (alkaline phosphatase, von Kossa and Alizarin red), adipocytes (Oil Red O), and chondrocytes (Alcian blue) was confirmed. Differentiation of MSC into hepatocyte-like cells was induced with sequential supplementation of growth factors, cytokines, and hormones for 21 days as described previously (Taléns-Visconti et al. 2006 World J. Gastroenterol. 12, 5834–5845). Morphological analysis, expression of liver-specific markers, and functional assays were performed to evaluate the hepatic differentiation of MSC. Under hepatogenic conditions, MSC acquired cuboidal morphology with cytoplasmic granules. These hepatocyte-like cells expressed α-fetoprotein (AFP), albumin (ALB), cytokeratin 18 (CK18), cytochrome P450 7A1 (CYP7A1), and hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 (HNF-1) markers by immunofluorescence assay. In addition, the expression of selected markers was demonstrated by Western blotting analysis. In accordance with these features, RT-PCR revealed transcripts of AFP, ALB, CK18, CYP7A1, and HNF-1α. Further, the relative expression levels of these transcripts were analysed by quantitative RT-PCR after normalizing to the expression of the endogenous control, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Data were analysed statistically by one-way ANOVA using PASW statistics 18 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA), and significance was considered at P < 0.05. The results showed that the relative expressions of selected marker genes in hepatocyte-like cells were significantly increased compared with that in untreated MSC. The generated hepatocyte-like cells showed glycogen storage as analysed by periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining. Moreover, the induced cells produced urea at Day 21 of culture compared with control MSC. In conclusion, our results indicate the potential of porcine MSC to differentiate in vitro into hepatocyte-like cells. Further studies on the functional properties of hepatocyte-like cells are needed to use porcine MSC as an ideal source for liver cell therapy and preclinical drug evaluation.

Differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) into specialised cells in vitro before transplantation may improve the engraftment efficiency of the transplanted cells as well as the safety and efficacy of treatment. To understand the differentiation process and the functional identities of cells in an animal model, we examined the in vitro differentiation capacity of porcine MSC (3–6 passage) into cardiomyocyte-like and neuron-like cells. The MSC isolated from the bone marrow of postnatal miniature piglets [T-type, PWG Micro-pig (R), PWG Genetics, Korea] exhibited a typical fibroblast-like morphology and expressed the specific markers, such as CD29, CD44, and CD90. After 21 days of culture in induction media, MSC revealed the appropriate phenotype of osteocytes (von Kossa and Alizarin red), adipocytes (Oil red O), and chondrocytes (Alcian blue). Ther MSC were further induced into cardiomyogenic and neurogenic differentiation following the protocols described earlier (Tomita et al. 2002 J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. 123, 1132–1140) and (Woodbury et al. 2002 J. Neurosci. Res. 96, 908–917), respectively, with minor modifications. Expression of lineage-specific markers was evaluated by immunocytochemistry, and RT-PCR and quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). For cardiomyogenic differentiation, MSC were stimulated with 10 μM 5-azacytidine for 24 h, 3 days, or 7 days, and the cells were maintained in culture for 21 days. Upon induction, MSC exhibited elongated and stick-like morphology with extended cytoplasmic processes, and toward the end of culture, cells formed aggregates and myotube-like structures. Immunostaining was positive for the markers of cardiomyocyte-like cells, such as α-smooth muscle actin, cardiac troponin T, desmin, and α-cardiac actin. The RT-PCR and RT-qPCR analysis showed the expression and a time dependent up-regulation of cardiac troponin T, desmin, α-cardiac actin, and β-myosin heavy chain genes. Following induction with neuronal-specific media for 3 days, above 80% of MSC acquired the morphology of neuron-like cells with bi- or multipolar cell processes forming a network-like structure. Induced cells with neuronal phenotype were positively stained for nestin, neuronal nuclei (NeuN), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and neurofilament-M (NF-M). The expression of neural transcripts, such as nestin, GFAP, and NF-M, was further confirmed by RT-PCR and RT-qPCR. In conclusion, our results showed the potential of porcine MSC to differentiate in vitro into cardiomyocyte-like and neuron-like cells, thus offering a useful model for studying their functional and molecular properties before transplantation.
