Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent cells that are considered one of the most promising product for cellular therapy in regenerative medicine. MSC have been obtained and expanded from bone marrow and umbilical cord blood in adequate amounts for clinical applications. Under the right conditions, MSC could migrate from bone marrow into the peripheral circulation; however MSC have not been routinely isolated from peripheral blood, and studies are rare and not conclusive. The aim of the present study was to evaluate mobilised peripheral blood (MPB), obtained from patients undergoing apheresis collection of circulating hematopoietic progenitor cells, as a potential source of MSC for clinical applications. MPB samples (500–900 × 106 cells, N = 17) were separated by negative lineage-depletion immunoselection (RosetteSep). Selected cells were seeded in multi-well plates at low density in MesenCult Basal Medium without and with different combinations of growth factors (EGF, PDGF-BB, b-FGF). On reaching confluence, adherent cells were detached by 0.25% trypsin-EDTA treatment and replated for at least two passages. At each passage, surface antigen expression was analyzed by flowcytometry (CD45, CD34, CD105, CD44, CD73, CD166, CD31, HLA-DR and VE-caderine). Following immunoselection 9.5–17.1 × 106 cells were recovered from MPB samples. Cultured cells reached confluency in 3–4 weeks on first passage and in two weeks thereafter. Immunophenotyping showed negativity for CD45 antigen. The absence of growth factors in culture medium conditioned MSC growth capability, while the addition of PDGF-BB+EGF or b-FGF was able to boost the number of CD45−/CD73+/CD90+ cells in culture (see figure). However expansion remains still sub-optimal, having been reached in 8/17 samples. In conclusion, we demonstrate that MSC can be obtained from MPB, but expansion requires longer time period and appears more difficult compared to bone marrow. Therefore, further studies need to be conducted to find better culture conditions and optimal growth factor combinations to support MPB-derived MSC expansion. Figure Figure

Abstract Background: Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) can be isolated from bone marrow, adipose and fetal tissues, but their presence in Mobilized Peripheral Blood (MPB) and in Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) remains controversial. Methods: In this study we evaluated whether MPB (n=6) and UCB (n=8) could be two other sources of MSC beside Bone Marrow (BM). CD133 positive cell fraction was isolated through immunomagnetic system and MNC were seeded in medium supplemented or not with 5% of conditioned medium durong the first 48 hours of adhesion. MSC derived from MPB or UCB were identified by their expression of mesenchymal (SH2, SH3) and hematopoietic markers (CD14, CD34, CD45 and CD62-E). MPB and CB-MSC were also tested for their capacity to generate CFU-F (Fibroblast colony-forming units) and to differentiate into adipocytes, osteocytes, chondrocytes and neuronal/glial cells after specific induction. Finally we tested through RT-PCR the gene expression of Oct4, a transcriptional binding factor present in undifferentiated cells with high proliferative capacity. Results: Through CFU-F, we observed that the selection of CD133 positive cells allows to obtain a great amount of MSC in comparison with the MNC fraction seeded (MPB-MSC, 139 versus 72 and UCB-MSC 165 versus 8 after the primoculture). After four passages, more than 1.108 cells were obtained by the cell expansion assays from 1.106 cells seeded in primoculture. During the first culture, whatever the medium used or cell fraction seeded, the cell population was composed of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, marcophages and hematopoietic cells with less than 5%SH3 positive cells. After two passages, cells derived from MPB or UCB expressed mesenchymal markers (SH3 and SH2) and Oct4. Under appropriate conditions these cells were able to differentiate into adipocytes, osteocytes, chondrocytes and neuronal/glial cells. Conclusion: These results indicate that MSC are present in MPB and UCB, with similar characteristics to bone marrow (self-renewal capacity and multi-diffentiation potential), and may have a major clinical importance due to their accessibility. They could be an attractive target for cellular and gene therapies Mesenchymal marker expression (%) T0 (%) second passage (%) MPB SH2 2,7±1,1 96,1±2,9 SH3 4,9±1,5 95,7±3,3 UCB SH2 1,4±0,6 98±0,7 SH3 5,2±1,8 96,5±2,5

Abstract BACKGROUND: Inoculation of human normal or leukemic myeloblasts into sublethaly irradiated NOD/SCID mice often results in persistent low-level engraftment (< 5%), but significant proliferation (≥ 5-fold expansion) rarely occurs. Most malignant samples that engraft and proliferate are of FAB M4 subtype and exhibit rapid extramedullary growth at the site of injection without significant marrow or spleen involvement. We hypothesized that low engraftment and proliferation of less mature FAB subtypes results from an increased requirement of these cells for a marrow environment of cytokine and contact-dependent growth and survival factors not adequately provided across species by the mouse bone marrow stroma. Here we show that the subcutaneous injection of minimally-differentiated human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in a Matrigel matrix creates an artificial human marrow environment resulting in improved survival and proliferation of human myeloblasts. METHODS: Human leukemic myeloblasts were obtained from the marrow or peripheral blood of 14 newly diagnosed pediatric patients under an IRB-approved collection and banking protocol. MSC were obtained from sterile filters following processing of human marrow from healthy donors or from the NIH-funded MSC bank at Tulane University. 6-to-12 week old NOD-SCID mice were injected IV with 5x106 AML blasts via the retro-orbital sinus (N=38), subcutaneously in 0.5mL Matrigel (N=18), or subcutaneously with 5x105 MSC in 0.5mL of Matrigel (N=14). Mice were euthanized when evidence of tumor burden was present. Peripheral blood, bone marrow, spleen, and subcutaneous nodules were obtained for flow immunophenotyping, FISH, and histopathology. Percent engraftment was determined by flow cytometry for human CD33-APC and mouse H2Kd-PE. RESULTS: Median time from injection to necropsy was 12.5 weeks. 18% died of spontaneous murine thymomas. No animals died of progressive human AML if myeloblasts were injected IV or subcutaneously with Matrigel, and all had < 5% involvement of bone marrow, spleen, and blood. Six animals injected with AML and MSC (43%) developed visible tumors at a median of 8.5 weeks. These tumors were easily reduced to single cell suspensions of > 98% CD33+ by flow cytometry, with mean estimated recovery of 1.3x108 human myeloblasts per mouse tumor (mean 36-fold expansion, range 4 to 52-fold). For cases in which the AML and MSC were derived from subjects of disparate gender, the origin of the cells (leukemic donor vs. MSC donor) was validated by FISH for human X/Y chromosomes. Histopathology of the resulting mass revealed the central development of a stromal chondroid matrix similar to trabecular bone. Marrow, spleen, and blood for all these animals contained < 5% human myeloblasts. CONCLUSIONS: Here we describe an effective method for expanding immature human leukemic myeloblasts in the NOD/SCID mouse. These findings suggest that less mature myeloblasts require human MSC for survival and proliferation and appear to lack significant homing to or expansion in mouse marrow even in the presence of a significant ectopic tumor burden. This is a useful technique for expanding human AML cells for research, may be a model for more broad-based patient-oriented testing of chemotherapeutic and biologic therapies for AML, and represents a novel animal model for studying the stromal interactions and growth requirements of malignant and non-malignant myeloid precursors.

Abstract Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) could potentially provide a renewable source of different types of cells for cell therapy applications. Recently, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been derived from hESCs either through co-culturing with murine OP9 bone marrow stromal cell line or directly from hESCs without co-culturing with OP9 cells. Although the latter methodology is clinically advantageous over co-culturing with an animal cell layer those mesenchymal cells were reported to be positive for SSEA4. SSEA4 is a marker of undifferentiated hESCs and thus the presence of this marker on hESC-derived cells could potentially be problematic for clinical applications. We have recently achieved a novel and reproducible methodology for deriving a pure population of SSEA4-/CD73+ MSCs from federally approved hESC lines H1 and H9. To initiate the differentiation of hESCs to MSCs, we cultured undifferentiated hESCs on matrigel plates in murine embryonic fibroblast conditioned media with media changes every 3 days. Under these culture conditions a portion of embryonic stem cells differentiated into fibroblast looking cells. Through a multi-step process which involved the use of a culture methodology similar to what is being used to culture bone marrow (BM)-derived MSCs, and passaging cultured cells at defined time points we were able to derive a pure population of cells that were uniformly positive for MSC marker CD73 in about a 4-weeks period. These cells had fibroblast/mesenchymal looking morphology, and expressed cell surface marker antigens similar to what has been reported for adult human BM-derived MSCs: they are positive for CD29, CD44, CD54, CD71, CD90, glycophorin A, CD105, and were negative for hematopoietic markers such as CD34 and CD45. Similar to adult BM-derived MSCs these cells express HLA class-I antigens but not class-II antigens. Using established differentiation protocols we could differentiate the hESC-derived CD73+ MSCs into adipocytes, osteocytes, and chondrocytes as verified by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR assays. So far we have grown these CD73+ MSCs up to passages 15–18. These cells retained their differentiation potential, and were karotypically normal when tested at passage 12. Most importantly, we did not observe any MSCs that were double positive for CD73 and SSEA4 antigen at any time point during our experiments. MSCs from a variety of fetal and adult sources are in various stages of clinical trials with some encouraging preliminary results. Our hESC-derived MSCs that are very similar to adult BM-derived MSCs regarding their growth and morphologic properties, immunophenotypic characteristics, differentiation potential, and importantly are devoid of hESC marker SSEA4 could potentially provide a novel source of MSCs for clinical applications.
