Inflammatory Milieu

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have emerged as potent therapeutic agents for multiple indications. However, recent evidence indicates that MSC function is compromised in the physiological post-injury milieu. In this study, bone marrow (BM)- and adipose-derived (AD)-MSCs were preconditioned in hypoxia with or without inflammatory mediators to potentiate their immunotherapeutic function in preparation for in vivo delivery. Human MSCs were cultured for 48 h in either normoxia (21% O2) or hypoxia (2% O2) with or without the addition of Cytomix, thus creating 4 groups: (1) normoxia (21%); (2) Cytomix-normoxia (+21%); (3) hypoxia (2%); and (4) Cytomix-hypoxia (+2%). The 4 MSC groups were subjected to comprehensive evaluation of their characteristics and function. Preconditioning did not alter common MSC surface markers; nonetheless, Cytomix treatment triggered an increase in tissue factor (TF) expression. Moreover, the BM-MSCs and AD-MSCs from the +2% group were not able to differentiate to chondrocytes and osteoblasts, respectively. Following Cytomix preconditioning, the metabolism of MSCs was significantly increased while viability was decreased in AD-MSCs, but not in BM-MSCs. MSCs from both tissues showed a significant upregulation of key anti-inflammatory genes, increased secretion of IL-1 receptor antagonist (RA), and enhanced suppression of T-cell proliferation following the Cytomix treatment. Similarly, following a lipopolysaccharide challenge, the Cytomix-treated MSCs suppressed TNF-α secretion, while promoting the production of IL-10 and IL-1RA. These preconditioning approaches facilitate the production of MSCs with robust anti-inflammatory properties. AD-MSCs preconditioned with Cytomix under normoxia appear to be the most promising therapeutic candidates; however, safety concerns, such as thrombogenic disposition of cells due to TF expression, should be carefully considered prior to clinical translation.

We studied interactions of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and cells from the monocyte-macrophage group (MN/MP) important in the MSCs mediated therapeutic action in vivo, their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties. The MSCs effect on the MN/MP functional activity was evaluated after a 6-d co-culture in standard conditions (20 % О2) and ensuing exposure of one part of MN/MP and MN/MP+MSCs to a long-term hypoxic stress (1 % О2, 24 hrs) while the other part remained at 20 % О2. As in the normal, so hypoxic conditions the MSCs stromal activity contributed to the MN/MP viability by decreasing the numbers of MN/MP cells during early apoptosis. The paracrine interaction in 20 % О2 occurred with an elevated MN/MP phagocytic activity without influence on the lysosomal compartment activity. The hypoxic stress affected the MSCs-induced phagocytic ability and activity of lysosomes. Interaction with MSCs leads to formation of a MN/MP anti-inflammatory phenotype that unveils the phagocytic potential in the presence of MSCs despite the oxygen deprivation.

Porcine hepatocytes transplanted during acute liver failure might support metabolic functions until the diseased liver recovers its function. Here, we isolated high numbers of viable pig hepatocytes and evaluated hepatocyte functionality after encapsulation. We further investigated whether coculture and coencapsulation of hepatocytes with human multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are beneficial on hepatocyte function. Livers from 10 kg pigs (n=9) were harvested, and hepatocytes were isolated from liver suspensions for microencapsulation using alginate and poly(ethylene-glycol)- (PEG-) grafted alginate hydrogels, either alone or in combination with MSC. Viability, albumin secretion, and diazepam catabolism of hepatocytes were measured for one week. 9.2 ± 3.6 × 109hepatocytes with 95.2 ± 3.1% viability were obtained after isolation. At day 3, free hepatocytes displayed 99% viability, whereas microencapsulation in alginate and PEG-grafted alginate decreased viability to 62% and 48%, respectively. Albumin secretion and diazepam catabolism occurred in free and microencapsulated hepatocytes. Coencapsulation of hepatocytes with MSC significantly improved viability and albumin secretion at days 4 and 8 (p<0.05). Coculture with MSC significantly increased and prolonged albumin secretion. In conclusion, we established a protocol for isolation and microencapsulation of high numbers of viable pig hepatocytes and demonstrated that the presence of MSC is beneficial for the viability and function of porcine hepatocytes.

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have emerged as a promising therapy for autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS). Administration of MSCs to MS patients has proven safe with signs of immunomodulation but their therapeutic efficacy remains low. The aim of the current study has been to further characterize the immunomodulatory mechanisms of adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ASCs) in vitro and in vivo using the EAE model of chronic brain inflammation in mice. We found that murine ASCs (mASCs) suppress T cell proliferation in vitro via inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase- (COX-) 1/2 activities. mASCs also prevented the lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) in vitro. The addition of the COX-1/2 inhibitor indomethacin, but not the iNOS inhibitor L-NAME, reversed the block in DC maturation implicating prostaglandin (PG) E2 in this process. In vivo, early administration of murine and human ASCs (hASCs) ameliorated myelin oligodendrocyte protein- (MOG35-55-) induced EAE in C57Bl/6 mice. Mechanistic studies showed that mASCs suppressed the function of autoantigen-specific T cells and also decreased the frequency of activated (CD11c+CD40high and CD11c+TNF-α+) DCs in draining lymph nodes (DLNs). In summary, these data suggest that mASCs reduce EAE severity, in part, through the impairment of DC and T cell function.

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) represent a promising strategy for a variety of medical applications. Although only a limited number of MSC engraft and survive after in vivo cellular infusion, MSC have shown beneficial effects on immunomodulation and tissue repair. This indicates that the contribution of MSC exists in paracrine signaling, rather than a cell-contact effect of MSC. In this review, we focus on current knowledge about tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-stimulated gene-6 (TSG-6) and mechanisms based on extracellular vesicles (EV) that govern long-lasting immunosuppressive and regenerative activity of MSC. In this context, in particular, we discuss the very robust set of findings by Jha and colleagues, and the opportunity to potentially extend their research focus on EV isolated in concentrated conditioned media (CCM) from adipose tissue derived MSC (ASC). Particularly, the authors showed that ASC-CCM mitigated visual deficits after mild traumatic brain injury in mice. TSG-6 knockdown ASC were, then, used to generate TSG-6-depleted CCM that were not able to replicate the alleviation of abnormalities in injured animals. In light of the presented results, we envision that the infusion of much distilled ASC-CCM could enhance the alleviation of visual abnormalities. In terms of EV research, the advantages of using size-exclusion chromatography are also highlighted because of the enrichment of purer and well-defined EV preparations. Taken together, this could further delineate and boost the benefit of using MSC-based regenerative therapies in the context of forthcoming clinical research testing in diseases that disrupt immune system homeostasis.

Cryopreservation is the only established method to provide long-term storage and fast availability of cellular product for therapeutic applications. The overwhelming majority of cryopreservation media contain toxic concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) limiting the possibility for the direct administration of cryopreserved cells to the patients. Here, we propose a novel approach for nontoxic xeno-free cryopreservation of human multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) aimed at ensuring high viability, ready-to-use availability, and localized delivery of the cell-based graft into damaged tissues. For MSC cryopreservation, we applied sucrose pretreatment procedure and xeno-free cryoprotective medium containing human platelet-poor blood plasma (PPP), sucrose, and nontoxic concentration of DMSO. Using the combination of PPP, 0.2 M sucrose, and 1% DMSO, the recovery rate of cryopreserved MSCs reached 73% of the values obtained for noncryopreserved cells. Moreover, the presence of PPP in the cryoprotective medium provided the possibility to create a ready-to-use 3D hydrogel for the localized delivery and additional support of MSCs in vivo. In a proof-of-concept study, we assessed the regenerative capacity of cryopreserved MSCs in a full-thickness wound model in mice. The positive impact of MSCs within 3D gel on wound healing rates was confirmed by morphometric and histological examinations. Our results demonstrate the possibility to apply cryopreserved cells immediately after thawing using a cryoprotective medium as the vehicle solution.

Biological characteristics of bone substituting tissue engineering construction (TEC) that contained porous calcium phosphate ceramic granulate (CPC) of phase structure ((tricalcium phosphate (TCP)), fibrin hydrogel and autologous multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (auto-MMSC) induced and non-induced to osteogenic differentiation were studied in vivo. The following characteristics of TEC were determined: ability to transfer within its structure the viable auto-MMSC with preservation of their regeneration potential; ability to osteogenesis only under conditions of orthotopic implantation; ability of induced to osteogenic differentiation auto-MMSC to participate in the reparative processes for not more than within 6 weeks after implantation; negative affect of fibrin hydrogel on the osteoinductive properties of CPC within TCP structure. It was shown that to provide osteogenesis in the implanted TEC not only the viable auto-MMSC but simultaneous presence of osteoinductive and osteoconductive factors was required. No bone formation in a critical bone defect and in ectopic implantation takes place without observance of these conditions.
