Abstract Endometriosis, which exhibits enigmatic pathological features such as stromal fibrosis and proliferation of ectopic epithelial cells, is known as a refractory disease. Mesenchymal stem cells modulate the fibrosis in stromal tissues through their trophic and immunomodulatory properties. To investigate the potential of stem cells in treating endometriosis, we examined the secondary morphology and molecular alterations in endometriosis-like lesions after the administration of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) to an experimental murine model of endometriosis. The infused ASCs were found integrated in the endometriosis-like lesions. Accompanied by the suppression of stromal fibrosis and proliferation of endometriotic epithelial cells, the infusion of ASCs with stemness potential suppressed the growth of endometriosis-like lesions and inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic cytokines, whereas no significant attenuation of endometriosis-like lesions occurred after the infusion of ASCs without stemness potential. Accordingly, it is plausible that the trophic and immunomodulatory properties of ASCs may regulate fibrosis in endometriosis-like lesions, suggesting that regenerative medicine has strong potential as an innovative treatment for patients with endometriosis.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a leading cause of mortality globally, with no effective therapy yet established. Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are useful for ameliorating lung injury in animal models. However, whether ADSCs differentiate into functional cells remains uncertain, and no study has reported on the mechanism by which ADSCs improve lung functionality. Thus, in this study, we examined whether ADSCs differentiate into lung alveolar cells and are able to ameliorate lung injury caused by elastase-induced emphysema in model mice. Here, we induced ADSCs to differentiate into type 2 alveolar epithelial cells in vitro. We demonstrated that ADSCs can differentiate into type 2 alveolar epithelial cells in an elastase-induced emphysematous lung and that ADSCs improve pulmonary function of emphysema model mice, as determined with spirometry and 129Xe MRI. These data revealed a novel function for ADSCs in promoting repair of the damaged lung by direct differentiation into alveolar epithelial cells.

Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) are immature multipotent cells, which represent a rare population in the perivascular niche within nearly all tissues. The most abundant source to isolate MSCs is adipose tissue. Currently, perirenal adipose tissue is rarely described as the source of MSCs. MSCs were isolated from perirenal adipose tissue (prASCs) from patients undergoing tumor nephrectomies, cultured and characterized by flow cytometry and their differentiation potential into adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteoblasts and epithelial cells. Furthermore, prASCs were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), lipoteichoic acid (LTA) or a mixture of cytokines (cytomix). In addition, prASC susceptibility to human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) was investigated. The expression of inflammatory readouts was estimated by qPCR and immunoassay. HCMV infection was analyzed by qPCR and immunostaining. Characterization of cultured prASCs shows the cells meet the criteria of MSCs and prASCs can undergo trilineage differentiation. Cultured prASCs can be induced to differentiate into epithelial cells, shown by cytokeratin 18 expression. Stimulation of prASCs with LPS or cytomix suggests the cells are capable of initiating an inflammation-like response upon stimulation with LPS or cytokines, whereas, LTA did not induce a significant effect on the readouts (ICAM-1, IL-6, TNFα, MCP-1 mRNA and IL-6 protein). HCMV broadly infects prASCs, showing a viral load dependent cytopathological effect (CPE). Our current study summarizes the isolation and culture of prASCs, clearly characterizes the cells, and demonstrates their immunomodulatory potential and high permissiveness for HCMV.

Immunomodulatory Effects

Cell therapy with adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) is expected to be a candidate for the treatment of fulminant hepatic failure (FHF), which is caused by excessive immune responses. In order to evaluate the therapeutic effects of ASCs on FHF, the in vitro and in vivo immunomodulatory effects of ASCs were examined in detail in the mouse model. The in vitro effects of ASCs were examined by assessing their influence on the proliferation of lymphomononuclear cells (LMCs) stimulated with three kinds of mitogens: phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) plus ionomycin, concanavalin A (ConA), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The proliferation of LMCs was efficiently suppressed in a dose-dependent manner by ASCs in the cases of PMA plus ionomycin stimulation and ConA stimulation, but not in the case of LPS stimulation. The in vivo effects of transplanted ASCs were examined in the murine FHF model induced by ConA administration. The ALT levels and histological inflammatory changes in the ConA-administered mice were apparently relieved by the transplantation of ASCs. The analysis of mRNA expression patterns in the livers indicated that the expressions of the cytokines such as Il-6, Il-10, Ifn-γ, and Tnf-α, and the cell surface markers such as Cd3γ, Cd4, Cd8α, Cd11b, and Cd11c were downregulated in the ASC-transplanted mice. The immunomodulatory and therapeutic effects of ASCs were confirmed in the mouse model both in vitro and in vivo. These suggest that the cell therapy with ASCs is beneficial for the treatment of FHF.
