Abstract Backgrounds: Global warming has led to extreme temperatures in different latitudinal regions, resulting in the extinction of a large number of species. This study focuses on the effects of extreme high temperatures on cell proliferation, cell cycle, cell differentiation and mitochondria activity in human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hADSCs). Methods: hADSCs were divided into three groups and incubated in 37°C, 39°C and 40°C environment for 5 hours of exposure each day, and then to 37°C circumstances for further incubation. Cell surface markers, cell cycle, cell proliferation activity, mitochondrial activity and cell polarization were detected and analyzed by flow cytometry, CCK-8 assay, ROS and JC-1 staining respectively on the 1 st and 3 rd day of cell culture; osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation ability of hASCs was analyzed by staining after 21 days of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation induction culture. Results The results of this study showed that hASCs grown under high temperature conditions had restricted growth activity, blocked S and G2 phases of the cell cycle, reduced cytokinesis and impaired mitochondrial activity, while their osteogenic differentiation ability and membrane potential depolarization were enhanced. Conclusions: hADSCs were subjected to high temperature stimulation with restricted growth activity, reduced cell division, impaired mitochondrial activity, significant cell depolarization and enhanced osteogenic differentiation, and these results were closely related to the pathogenic mechanisms of skin aging and heat stroke due to outdoor sun exposure.

Abstract Abstract 3816 Poster Board III-752 Introduction Recent studies in patients with MDS have clearly demonstrated the clinical efficacy of lenalidomide. However, its exact mechanisms of action have not been elucidated yet. Myelosuppression is the most common adverse event and seems to be dependent on dose as well MDS subtype, being rather infrequent in patients other than del5q. The aim of this study was to investigate whether lenalidomide affects the bone marrow microenvironment. Therefore, we analyzed in-vitro characteristics of isolated mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from MDS patients and from healthy controls. Methods Bone marrow samples were collected from healthy donors (n=5) and patients with MDS (del5q MDS n=3, RA n=2, RAEB1/2 n=3). MSCs were isolated according to the standard adhesion protocol and cultured in the presence or absence of lenalidomide. Results Lenalidomide treatment of MSCs caused no morphological changes but proliferation was slightly increased. Typical surface molecules as CD73, CD90, CD105 and CD166 were expressed in MSCs from MDS patients at comparable levels to healthy controls. Lenalidomide treatment caused an upregulation of CD29 by 17.8 ± 4.4% and of CD73 by 24 ± 5.7% (mean fluorescence intensity). Investigating the cytokine production, we found lower IL-8 mRNA and protein levels in MSCs from MDS patients (mean in MDS MSC: 138.1 pg/ml vs. mean in healthy MSC: 1177 pg/ml). Interestingly, the IL-8 production can be increased by approximately 40% under lenalidomide treatment. MDS MSCs retained the capacity for adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation as well as their supportive function towards hematopoietic cells in long term culture-initiating assays (LTC-IC). However, the LTC-IC frequency was lower on MSC which had been preincubated with lenalidomide compared to controls. Lenalidomide also slightly accelerated osteogenic differentiation because mineralization started as early as on day 5 with lenalidomide whereas in the control cells first calcium deposits were visible after 7 days. Other samples showed augmented lipid vacuoles after adipogenic differentiation under lenalidomide treatment. Conclusion In conclusion, lenalidomide modulates the phenotype of MSC and leads to an increase of their IL-8 secretion by a yet unknown mechanism. Whether these in-vitro effects are associated with the clinical efficacy of this compound in patients with MDS remains to be investigated.

The use of genetically modified (GM) mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and preconditioned MSCs (pMSCs) may provide further opportunities to improve the outcome of core decompression (CD) for the treatment of early-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). GM interleukin-4 (IL4) over-expressing MSCs (IL4-MSCs), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB over-expressing MSCs (PDGF-BB-MSCs), and IL4-PDGF-BB co-over-expressing MSCs (IL4-PDGF-BB-MSCs) and their respective pMSCs were used in this in vitro study and compared with respect to cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. IL4-MSCs, PDGF-BB-MSCs, IL4-PDGF-BB-MSCs, and each pMSC treatment significantly increased cell proliferation compared to the MSC group alone. The percentage of Alizarin red-stained area in the IL4-MSC and IL4-pMSC groups was significantly lower than in the MSC group. However, the percentage of Alizarin red-stained area in the PDGF-BB-MSC group was significantly higher than in the MSC and PDGF-BB-pMSC groups. The percentage of Alizarin red-stained area in the IL4-PDGF-BB-pMSC was significantly higher than in the IL4-PDGF-BB-MSC group. There were no significant differences in the percentage of Alizarin red-stained area between the MSC and IL4-PDGF-BB-pMSC groups. The use of PDGF-BB-MSCs or IL4-PDGF-BB-pMSCs increased cell proliferation. Furthermore, PDGF-BB-MSCs promoted osteogenic differentiation. The addition of GM MSCs may provide a useful supplementary cell-based therapy to CD for treatment of ONFH.

The topical application of tranexamic acid (TXA) helps to prevent post-operative blood loss in total joint replacements. Despite these findings, the effects on articular and periarticular tissues remain unclear. Therefore, this in vitro study examined the effects of varying exposure times and concentrations of TXA on proliferation rates, gene expression and differentiation capacity of chondrocytes and human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs), which underwent osteogenic differentiation. Chondrocytes and hMSCs were isolated and multiplied in monolayer cell cultures. Osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs was induced for 21 days using a differentiation medium containing specific growth factors. Cell proliferation was analyzed using ATP assays. Effects of TXA on cell morphology were examined via light microscopy and histological staining, while expression levels of tissue-specific genes were measured using semiquantitative RT-PCR. After treatment with 50 mg/mL of TXA, a decrease in cell proliferation rates was observed. Furthermore, treatment with concentrations of 20 mg/mL of TXA for at least 48 h led to a visible detachment of chondrocytes. TXA treatment with 50 mg/mL for at least 24 h led to a decrease in the expression of specific marker genes in chondrocytes and osteogenically differentiated hMSCs. No significant effects were observed for concentrations beyond 20 mg/mL of TXA combined with exposure times of less than 24 h. This might therefore represent a safe limit for topical application in vivo. Further research regarding in vivo conditions and effects on hMSC functionality are necessary to fully determine the effects of TXA on articular and periarticular tissues.

For potential clinical applications in the future, we investigated the distinct biological features of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) derived from different origin areas of human placenta and individual heterogeneity among different donors. Chorionic plate MSCs (CP-MSCs), amniotic membrane MSCs (AM-MSCs), and decidual plate MSCs (DP-MSCs) were isolated from 5 human placentae and were analyzed in terms of main features of MSCs including surface marker profile, growth, differentiation potential, immune regulation capability, and tubulin acetylation (Ac-tubulin). The expression profile of surface markers in the 3 types of MSCs derived from the 5 donors was relatively stable. Heterogeneity was found in growth, differentiation potential, and immune regulation among MSCs according to the different areas of isolation and different donors. CP-MSCs and AM-MSCs derived from the placentae of donors 1–3 had a higher osteogenic differentiation potential than the corresponding DP-MSCs, but those derived from the placentae of donors 4 and 5 had a markedly lower osteogenic differentiation potential than DP-MSCs. All CP-MSCs derived from donors 1–3 had the highest adipogenic differentiation potential, but CP-MSCs derived from donors 4 and 5 did not show strong capability of adipogenic differentiation. CP-MSCs markedly inhibited the proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) induced by phytohemagglutinin, whereas AM- and DP-MSCs did not. All MSCs decreased the proportion of CD3+/CD8–/IFN-γ+ Th1 and CD3+/CD8–/IL17+ Th17 cells, but increased the proportion of Treg cells in PBMCs, with individual differences among the 5 donors. DP-MSCs from donors 1 and 2 had higher levels of Ac-tubulin compared with CP- and AM-MSCs. However, the levels of Ac-tubulin in AM-MSCs from donors 3 and 5 were higher than those of the other 2 types of MSCs. Our results revealed that there was tissue-specific heterogeneity among the 3 types of MSCs from different origin tissues of placenta and individual heterogeneity among donors. In future, the pre-selected placenta-derived MSCs with specific biological advantages may improve the curative effect of cell therapy in different situations.

Abstract Background Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1/2) gene mutations are the most frequently observed mutations in cartilaginous tumors. The mutant IDH causes elevation in the levels of R-enantiomer of 2-hydroxylglutarate (R-2HG). Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are reasonable precursor cell candidates of cartilaginous tumors. This study aimed to investigate the effect of oncometabolite R-2HG on MSCs. Methods Human bone marrow MSCs treated with or without R-2HG at concentrations 0.1 to 1.5 mM were used for experiments. Cell Counting Kit-8 was used to detect the proliferation of MSCs. To determine the effects of R-2HG on MSC differentiation, cells were cultured in osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic medium. Specific staining approaches were performed and differentiation-related genes were quantified. Furthermore, DNA methylation status was explored by Illumina array-based arrays. Real-time PCR was applied to examine the signaling component mRNAs involved in. Results R-2HG showed no influence on the proliferation of human MSCs. R-2HG blocked osteogenic differentiation, whereas promoted adipogenic differentiation of MSCs in a dose-dependent manner. R-2HG inhibited chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs, but increased the expression of genes related to chondrocyte hypertrophy in a lower concentration (1.0 mM). Moreover, R-2HG induced a pronounced DNA hypermethylation state of MSC. R-2HG also improved promotor methylation of lineage-specific genes during osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. In addition, R-2HG induced hypermethylation and decreased the mRNA levels of SHH, GLI1and GLI2, indicating Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling inhibition. Conclusions The oncometabolite R-2HG dysregulated the chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs possibly via induction of DNA hypermethylation, improving the role of R-2HG in cartilaginous tumor development.
