Background: Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs), as a collection of hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), are capable of producing all blood cell lineages. The use of cytokines, growth factors, or cells capable of secreting these factors will help in stimulating the proliferation and differentiation of these cells into mature cell lines. On the other hand, MSCs are multipotent stromal cells that can be differentiated into various cell lineages. Moreover, these cells can control the process of hematopoiesis by secreting cytokines and growth factors. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of BM-derived MSCs on the differentiation of MNCs based on the assessment of cell surface markers by flow cytometry analysis. Methods: For this purpose, the MNCs were purified from rat BM using density gradient centrifugation. After that, they were cultured, expanded, and characterized. Next, BM-derivedMSCs were co-cultured with MNCs and then were either cultured with MNCs alone (control group) or co-cultured MNCs with BM derived-MSCs (experimental group). Finally, they were collected on day 7 and subjected to flow cytometry analysis for granulocyte markers and ERK protein’s investigation. Results: It was found that the expression levels of CD34, CD16, CD11b, and CD18 granulocyte markers, as well as protein expression of ERK, have significantly increased in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that MSCs could affect the granulocyte differentiation of MNCs via ERK protein expression, which is a key component of the ERK signaling pathway.

Objective. The study aim to investigate the role of microRNA-155 (miR-155) on the immunoregulatory function of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Methods. MSCs were isolated from 2-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats and identified by flow cytometry using anti-CD29, anti-CD44, anti-CD34, and anti-CD45 antibodies. MSCs were transfected with miR155-mimics, miR155-inhibitor, and control oligos, respectively, and then cocultured with spleen mononuclear cells (SMCs). The mRNA levels of Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg cell-specific transcription factors (Tbx21, Gata3, Rorc, and Foxp3, resp.) and the miR-155 target gene SOCS1 were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) in SMCs. The proportion of CD4+ FOXP3+ Treg cells was detected by flow cytometry. In addition, the effects of MSCs transfected with miR-155 on the migration of rat SMCs were investigated by transwell chamber. Results. CD29 and CD44 were expressed in MSCs, while CD34 and CD45 were negative. The percentage of CD4+ FOXP3+ Treg cells in the SMC population was significantly higher compared with that noted in SMCs control group (p<0.001) following 72 hours of coculture with miR155-mimics-transfected SMCs. In contrast, the percentage of CD4+ FOXP3+ Treg cells in the SMCs cocultured with miR155-inhibitor-transfected MSCs was significantly lower compared with that noted in SMCs control group (p<0.001). MiR155-mimics-transfected MSCs inhibited the expression of Tbx21, Rorc, and SOCS1, while the expression of Gata3 and Foxp3 was increased. In contrast to the downregulation of the aforementioned genes, miR155-inhibitor-transfected MSCs resulted in upregulation of Tbx21, Rorc, and SOCS1 expression levels and inhibition of Gata3 and Foxp3. In the transwell assay, miR155-mimics-transfected MSCs exhibited lower levels of SMCs migration, while the miR155-inhibitor-transfected MSCs demonstrated significantly higher levels of migration, compared with the blank control group (p<0.01, resp.). Conclusion. miR-155 favors the differentiation of T cells into Th2 and Treg cells in MSCs, while it inhibits the differentiation to Th1 and Th17 cells.

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a type of disease that affects the function of cardiac-vascular tissues. This study aimed to consider the possible effects of autophagy, as an intrinsic catabolic pathway of cells, on the differentiation and aging process of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Methods: In this study, bone marrow-derived MSCs were obtained from rabbit bone marrow aspirates. The stemness feature was confirmed by using flow cytometry analysis Cells at passage three were treated with 50 μM Metformin and 15μM hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for 72 hours. The intracellular accumulation of autophagolysosomes was imaged using LysoTracker staining. Protein levels of autophagy (LC3II/I ratio), aging (Klotho, PARP-1, and Sirt-1) effectors, and cardiomyocyte-like phenotype (α-actinin) were studied by western blotting. Results: Based on our findings, flow cytometry analysis showed that the obtained cells expressed CD44 and CD133 strongly, and CD31 and CD34 dimly, showing a typical characteristic of MSCs. Our data confirmed an increased LC3II/I ratio in the metformin-received group compared to the untreated and HCQ-treated cells (P < 0.05). Besides, we showed that the incubation of rabbit MSCs with HCQ increased cellular aging by induction of PARP-1 while Metformin increased rejuvenating factor Sirt-1 comparing with the normal group (P < 0.05). Western blotting data showed that the autophagy stimulation response in rabbit MSCs postponed the biological aging and decreased the differentiation potential to the cardiac cells by diminishing α-actinin comparing with control cells (P < 0.05). Conclusion: In summary, for the informants in this study, it could be noted that autophagy inhibition/stimulation could alter rabbit MSCs aging and differentiation capacity.

Background and Aim: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have multi-lineage differentiation potentials, are a promising source for regenerative medicine. However, the focus of study of MSCs is shifting from the characterization of the differentiation potential to their secretion potential for cell transplantation. Tissue regeneration and the attenuation of immune responses are thought to be affected by the secretion of multiple growth factors and cytokines by MSCs. However, the secretion potential of MSCs profiling remains incompletely characterized. In this study, we focused on the secretion ability related and protein mRNA expression of dog adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AT-MSC), bone marrow (BM)-derived MSCs, and BM-derived mononuclear cells (BM-MNC). Materials and Methods: Real-time polymerase chain reaction analyses revealed mRNA expression of nine growth factors and seven interleukins in these types of cells and three growth factors protein expression were determined using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: For the BM-MNC growth factors, the mRNA expression of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) was the highest. For the BM-derived MSC (BM-MSC) and AT-MSC growth factors, the mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was highest. BM-MSCs and AT-MSCs showed similar expression profiles. In contrast, BM-MNCs showed unique expression profiles for hepatocyte growth factor and epidermal growth factor. The three types of cells showed a similar expression of TGF-β. Conclusion: We conclude that expression of cytokine proteins and mRNAs suggests involvement in tissue repair and protection.

miR-1 can affect the proliferation of various cancer cells but its effect on the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) has not been reported. This study cultured BMSCs with glioma cells to investigate the effects of miR-1 on BMSCs. BMSCs were co-cultured with glioma cells using Transwell chamber, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were transfected with miR-1 mimics or miR-NC (miR-Ctrl) followed by analysis of cell proliferation by CCK8, miR-1 expression by real-time PCR, and NF- B p65 protein level by Western blot. miR-1 expression and MSCs number was significantly increased after miR-1 mimics transfection. Cell number in experimental group and blank group was significantly elevated compared to control group (P < 0 05). NF- B p65 protein expression in BMSCs in control group and experimental group was also significantly increased compared to miR-Ctrl and blank group with higher level in experimental group than control group (P < 0 05). miR-1 can promote the proliferation of BMSCs by activating NF- B. The glioma cell co-culture microenvironment can further promote its proliferation.

Abstract Background This study assessed the safety and efficacy of intrathecal injection of umbilical cord tissue mesenchymal stem cells (UCT-MSC) in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). The diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was performed to evaluate the alterations in white-matter integrity. Methods Participants (4–14 years old) with spastic CP were assigned in 1:1 ratio to receive either UCT-MSC or sham procedure. Single-dose (2 × 107) cells were administered in the experimental group. Small needle pricks to the lower back were performed in the sham-control arm. All individuals were sedated to prevent awareness. The primary endpoints were the mean changes in gross motor function measure (GMFM)-66 from baseline to 12 months after procedures. The mean changes in the modified Ashworth scale (MAS), pediatric evaluation of disability inventory (PEDI), and CP quality of life (CP-QoL) were also assessed. Secondary endpoints were the mean changes in fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) of corticospinal tract (CST) and posterior thalamic radiation (PTR). Results There were 36 participants in each group. The mean GMFM-66 scores after 12 months of intervention were significantly higher in the UCT-MSC group compared to baseline (10.65; 95%CI 5.39, 15.91) and control (β 8.07; 95%CI 1.62, 14.52; Cohen’s d 0.92). The increase was also seen in total PEDI scores (vs baseline 8.53; 95%CI 4.98, 12.08; vs control: β 6.87; 95%CI 1.52, 12.21; Cohen’s d 0.70). The mean change in MAS scores after 12 months of cell injection reduced compared to baseline (−1.0; 95%CI −1.31, −0.69) and control (β −0.72; 95%CI −1.18, −0.26; Cohen’s d 0.76). Regarding CP-QoL, mean changes in domains including friends and family, participation in activities, and communication were higher than the control group with a large effect size. The DTI analysis in the experimental group showed that mean FA increased (CST 0.032; 95%CI 0.02, 0.03. PTR 0.024; 95%CI 0.020, 0.028) and MD decreased (CST −0.035 × 10-3; 95%CI −0.04 × 10-3, −0.02 × 10-3. PTR −0.045 × 10-3; 95%CI −0.05 × 10-3, −0.03 × 10-3); compared to baseline. The mean changes were significantly higher than the control group. Conclusions The UCT-MSC transplantation was safe and may improve the clinical and imaging outcomes. Trial registration The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03795974).

Chronic Limb Ischemia

Introduction: The journey from single cell to complex being is attributable to stem cells role. Adult stem cells originate during ontogeny & persist in specialized niches within organs. Asymmetric division of each stem cell during differentiation produces : one daughter stem cell & one daughter transit amplifying/intermediate cell having migratory properties. Forced migration of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) from bone marrow into peripheral blood is called mobilization. Accumulating evidence suggests that attenuation of the chemokine stromal derived factor-1(SDF-1)-CXCR4 axis that plays a pivotal role in retention of HSPC in bone marrow (BM) results in the release of these cells from the BM into peripheral blood. Recently, adult cells have been genetically reprogrammed to an embryonic stem cell like state. Induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) were similar to human embryonic stem cells in morphology, proliferative capacity, expression of cell surface antigens, & gene expression. Treatment of ischemic vascular disease of lower limbs remains a significant challenge. Unfortunately, if medical & surgical salvage procedures fail, amputation is an unavoidable result for those patients. Aim of Work: (Hypothesis) To assess the application of implantation of autologous stem/progenitor cell in the treatment of chronic limb ischemia & to evaluate the safety, efficacy & feasibility of this novel therapeutic approach. Methods: A total of 24 patients with chronic limb ischemia not eligible for arterial reconstruction or endovascular procedures were enrolled & randomized (1:1) to either the implanted group or the control group. Control group: Conventional medical therapy in the form of anti platelet therapy & vasodilators. Implanted group: Subcutaneous injection of 300μ g/day of recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for 5 days to mobilize stem/progenitor cells from BM. Total leucocytic count is measured daily to follow up successful mobilization of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs). Stem cell Harvesting After 5 days peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) were harvested using a cell separator. Samples from apheresis products are subjected to TLC measurement & immunophenotypic characterization of CD34+ cells by flow cytometry. The collected PBMNCs were implanted by multiple intramuscular injections into ischemic limbs. Results: There was significant increase in pain free walking distance & ankle/brachial index (ABI) & significant decreased rest pain. Effectiveness was documented by : reduced number of amputation, increase ABI & improvement of the quality of life in therapeutic group compared to control group. Conclusion: The novel therapeutic approach of PBMNCs implantation in patients with chronic limb ischemia is safe, feasible & effective in decreasing co-morbidity & rate of amputation. Safety was manifested by absence of complications during G-CSF therapy or during harvesting & injection of the stem cells. Recommendations: 1- Future studies on larger number of patients & longer follow up. 2- Controlled studies using different methods & different cell population (PBMNCs, BMMNCs or MSCs) to compare the outcome of each. 3-Studing the role of endothelial progenitor cell dysfunction in different ischemic diseases to develop successful gene therapy.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are capable of multipolar differentiation and repairing injured tissues. Herein, we aimed to investigate the mechanism by how BMSCs modulate the apoptotic pathway in the acute pancreatitis (AP). In this study, primary BMSCs were cultured and administrated into 10 AP mice while 10 healthy mice were taken as a blank group and 10 AP mice as a control group. The mouse pancreatic tissues were assessed by HE staining and evaluated by pancreatitis score and serum amylase detection. Level of inflammatory factors CRP and TNF-α was measured by ELISA and PIPK1, PIPK3, MLKL and Caspase-8 expression was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The pancreatitis score (7.29±1.36) and the serum amylase score of (453.66±103.67) mu/ml of BMSCs group was significantly higher than that of control group, indicating increased tissue repair after BMSCs treatment. BMSCs group exhibited a higher level of CRP (711.01±115.31) and TNF-α (132.81±22.13) in serum compared to control group (p < 0.05). PIPK1, PIPK3, and MLKL expression in BMSCs group decreased (p < 0.05) whereas Caspase-8 was increased (p < 0.05). On the other hand, BMSCs group presented upregulated PIPK1, PIPK3, and MLKL (p < 0.05) and downregulated Caspase-8 (p < 0.05). In conclusion, BMSCs regulate cell apoptosis by upregulating Caspase-8 expression, and downregulating PIPK1, PIPK3 and MLKL level, thereby alleviating the inflammation in AP.

Placental Extract

Omentum mesenchymal stem cells (OMSCs) could be induced to differentiate into cell varieties under certain conditions. We studied differentiation of OMSCs induced by using placenta extract in NMRI mice. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated from omentum and cultured with mice placenta extract. MSCs, were assessed after three passages by flow cytometry for CD90, CD44, CD73, CD105, CD34 markers and were recognized their ability to differentiate into bone and fat cell lines. Placenta extract dose was determined with IC50 test then OMSCs were cultured in DMEM and 20% placenta extract.The cell cycle was checked. OMSCs were assayed on 21 days after culture and differentiated cells were determined by flow cytometry and again processed for flow cytometry. CD90, CD44, CD73, CD105 markers were not expressed, only CD34 was their marker. OMSCs were morphologically observed. Differentiated cells are similar to the endothelial cells. Therefore, to identify differentiated cells, CD31 and FLK1 expression were measured. This was confirmed by its expression. G1 phase of the cell cycle shows that OMSCs compared to the control group, were in the differentiation phase. The reason for the differentiation of MSCs into endothelial cells was the sign of presence of VEGF factor in the medium too high value of as a VEGF secreting source.
