Abstract Abstract 4573 Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from bone marrows are characterized by high proliferative potential and pluripotentiality to differentiate into multiple lineages such as osteo-, chondro-, and adipogenic cells. MSC express CD105, CD73 and CD90, but not CD45, CD34, CD14 or CD11b, CD79alpha or CD19 and HLA-DR surface molecules. In this study, we observed that MSC derived from the bone marrow of four AML patients differentiated into B-cell lymphoblasts with NOD/SCID/IL-2Rg-/- engraftment potential. MSC cell lines were established by culturing adherent cells from newly diagnosed AML (n=4) age 20 to 74 years in alpha-DMEM medium supplement with 20% fetal bovine serum. Surface antigen phenotype analysis and G-banding karyotype analysis were performed in passage 2 to 4. FACS-sorted CD90 positive cells were then intravenously (I.V.) injected into NOD/SCID/IL-2Rg-/- (NOG) mice via tail vein (n=9) or into the bone marrow (n=3). Circulating cells were analyzed for CD19, CD33, CD34, and CD90 expression on day 36, 45, 60, 75 after injection of MSC. Results 1) G-banding showed normal karyotype in all MSC; 2) Injected MSC engrafted and differentiated in NOG mice. Surprisingly, CD19 positive cells were found in all samples starting on day 36 (table) and increased on day 60 and 75 (from d36: 6.9±3.5%, d45:0.7±0.1%, d60:2.6 ± 1.6% and d75: 9.3 ± 1.0%); 3) CD90 positive cells were found on day 45 (range from 0.07-3.96% and decreased to 0.1-0.5% on day 75). Low percentage of CD33 (day 45: 0.19-0.78% and day 60: 0.12-2.53%) and CD34 positive cells (day 45: 0.32-1.9% and day 60: 0.21-2.39%) were observed before day 60 and were undetectable by day 75. Table shows the percentages of CD19+ cells found in circulation in NOD/SCID/IL-2Rg-/- (NOG) mice after MSC I.V. or intra-bone marrow injection. (* Mice died after phlebotomy.) Conclusion Human MSC derived from AML bone marrows have the capacity to differentiate into CD19 positive B lymphocyte in NOG mice in vivo. It has previously been reported that AML can be propagated by a leukemic stem cell with lymphoid characteristics (Cancer Cell 2006, 10, 363-74). Data reported here suggest the possibility that AML-derived MSC give rise to lymphoid cells that engraft in NOG mice. This unexpected finding could shed light on the role of stroma cells in the pathogenesis and propagation of leukemias. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract Abstract 4544 Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) have been found to enhance engraftment of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), plus show effect against graft-versus host disease (GVHD) because of their immunosuppressive properties. However, harvesting these cells is an invasive and painful procedure. To substitute BMMSCs from alternative sources is necessary. We intravenously infused ex vivo-expanded third-party umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) obtained from a bank 8 times in 3 patients who developed severe, steroid-resistant acute GVHD after allogeneic HSCT. The acute GVHD improved with each infusion of UCMSCs. Besides, after cotransplantation of cord blood and UCMSCs in 5 patients, we found UCMSCs enhanced absolute neutrophil counts and platelet counts recovery. No adverse effects after UCMSCs infusions were noted. We also found that UCMSCs had superior proliferative potential and greater immunosuppressive effects than BMMSCs in vitro. This is the first report of UCMSCs in human clinical application. These findings suggest UCMSCs are effective in treating aGVHD and can enhance hematopoiesis after HSCT. Considering that they are not only easy to obtain but also proliferate rapidly, UCMSCs would be the ideal candidate for cell-based therapy, especially for diseases associated with immune responses because of their immunosuppressive effects.

Abstract Introduction Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the most advanced form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) characterized by ischemic rest pain and non-healing ulcers. Currently, the standard therapy for CLI is the surgical reconstruction and endovascular therapy or limb amputation for patients with no treatment options. Neovasculogenesis induced by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy is a promising approach to improve CLI. Owing to their angiogenic and immunomodulatory potential, MSCs are perfect candidates for the treatment of CLI. The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the in vitro and in vivo effects of allogeneic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) on CLI treatment. Methods For the first step, BM-MSCs and AT-MSCs were isolated and characterized for the characteristic MSC phenotypes. Then, femoral artery ligation and total excision of the femoral artery were performed on C57BL/6 mice to create a CLI model. The cells were evaluated for their in vitro and in vivo biological characteristics for CLI cell therapy. In order to determine these characteristics, the following tests were performed: morphology, flow cytometry, differentiation to osteocyte and adipocyte, wound healing assay, and behavioral tests including Tarlov, Ischemia, Modified ischemia, Function and the grade of limb necrosis scores, donor cell survival assay, and histological analysis. Results Our cellular and functional tests indicated that during 28 days after cell transplantation, BM-MSCs had a great effect on endothelial cell migration, muscle restructure, functional improvements, and neovascularization in ischemic tissues compared with AT-MSCs and control groups. Conclusions Allogeneic BM-MSC transplantation resulted in a more effective recovery from critical limb ischemia compared to AT-MSCs transplantation. In fact, BM-MSC transplantation could be considered as a promising therapy for diseases with insufficient angiogenesis including hindlimb ischemia.

Abstract ObjectivesSteroid-induced osteoporosis (SIOP) is a secondary osteoporosis, which is a systemic bone disease characterized by low bone mass, bone microstructure damage, increased bone fragility, and easy fracture. However, the specific mechanism remains unclear. Glucocorticoid-induced death of osteoblasts and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is an important factor in SIOP. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death that differs from apoptosis, cell necrosis, and autophagy, which can be induced by many factors. Herein, we aimed to explore whether glucocorticoids (GCs) cause ferroptosis in BMSCs and determine possible treatment pathways and mechanisms of action. Melatonin (MT), a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, displays strong antioxidant abilities to scavenge free radicals and alleviates ferroptosis in many tissues and organs. MethodsIn this study, we used high-dose dexamethasone (DEX) to observe whether glucocorticoids induced ferroptosis in BMSCs. We then assessed whether MT can inhibit the ferroptotic pathway, thereby providing early protection against GC-induced SIOP, and investigated the signaling pathways involved.ResultsIn vitro experiments showed that MT intervention significantly improved GC-induced ferroptosis in BMSCs and significantly improved SIOP in vivo. Pathway analysis showed that MT improves ferroptosis by activating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) axis. MT upregulates expression of PI3K, which is an important regulator of ferroptosis resistance. PI3K activators mimic the anti-ferroptosis effect of MT, but after blocking the PI3K pathway, the effect of MT is weakened. Obviously, MT can protect against SIOP induced by GC. Notably, even after GC-induced ferroptosis begins, MT can confer protection against SIOP. ConclusionOur research confirms that GC-induced ferroptosis is closely related to SIOP. Melatonin can inhibit ferroptosis by activating the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway, thereby reducing the occurrence of steroid-induced osteoporosis. Therefore, MT may provide a novel strategy for preventing and treating SIOP.

OBJECTIVE Delta-24-RGD is an oncolytic adenovirus that is capable of replicating in and killing human glioma cells. Although intratumoral delivery of Delta-24-RGD can be effective, systemic delivery would improve its clinical application. Bone marrow–derived human mesenchymal stem cells (BM-hMSCs) obtained from healthy donors have been investigated as virus carriers. However, it is unclear whether BM-hMSCs can be derived from glioma patients previously treated with marrow-toxic chemotherapy or whether such BM-hMSCs can deliver oncolytic viruses effectively. Herein, the authors undertook a prospective clinical trial to determine the feasibility of obtaining BM-hMSCs from patients with recurrent malignant glioma who were previously exposed to marrow-toxic chemotherapy. METHODS The authors enrolled 5 consecutive patients who had been treated with radiation therapy and chemotherapy. BM aspirates were obtained from the iliac crest and were cultured to obtain BM-hMSCs. RESULTS The patient-derived BM-hMSCs (PD-BM-hMSCs) had a morphology similar to that of healthy donor–derived BM-hMSCs (HD-BM-hMSCs). Flow cytometry revealed that all 5 cell lines expressed canonical MSC surface markers. Importantly, these cultures could be made to differentiate into osteocytes, adipocytes, and chondrocytes. In all cases, the PD-BM-hMSCs homed to intracranial glioma xenografts in mice after intracarotid delivery as effectively as HD-BM-hMSCs. The PD-BM-hMSCs loaded with Delta-24-RGD (PD-BM-MSC-D24) effectively eradicated human gliomas in vitro. In in vivo studies, intravascular administration of PD-BM-MSC-D24 increased the survival of mice harboring U87MG gliomas. CONCLUSIONS The authors conclude that BM-hMSCs can be acquired from patients previously treated with marrow-toxic chemotherapy and that these PD-BM-hMSCs are effective carriers for oncolytic viruses.
