Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the most promising seed cells for cell therapy. Comparing the biological and transcriptome gene characteristics of MSCs from different sources provides an important basis for the screening of clinically used cells. The main purpose of this experiment was to establish methods for the isolation and culture of MSCs from five different canine sources, including adipose tissue, bone marrow, umbilical cord, amniotic membrane, and placenta, and compare biological and transcriptome characteristics of MSCs, in order to provide a basis for the clinical application of canine MSCs. MSCs were isolated from Chinese pastoral dogs, and the following experiments were performed: (1) the third, sixth, and ninth generations of cells were counted, respectively, and a growth curve was plotted to calculate the MSC population doubling time; (2) the expression of CD34 and CD44 surface markers was studied by immunofluorescence; (3) the third generation of cells were used for osteogenetic and adipogenic differentiation experiments; and (4) MSC transcriptome profiles were performed using RNA sequencing. All of the five types of MSCs showed fibroblast-like adherent growth. The cell surface expressed CD44 instead of CD34; the third-generation MSCs had the highest proliferative activity. The average population doubling time of adipose mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs), placenta mesenchymal stem cells (P-MSCs), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs), and amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (AM-MSCs) were 15.8 h, 21.2 h, 26.2 h, 35 h, and 41.9 h, respectively. All five types of MSCs could be induced to differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts in vitro, with lipid droplets appearing after 8 days and bone formation occurring 5 days after AD-MSC induction. However, the multilineage differentiation for the remaining of MSCs was longer compared to that of the AD-MSCs. The MSC transcriptome profiles showed that AD-MSC and BM-MSCs had the highest homology, while P-MSCs were significantly different compared to the other four types of MSCs. All the isolated MSCs had the main biological characteristics of MSCs. AD-MSCs had the shortest time for proliferation, adipogenesis, and osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been isolated from venous endothelia and subendothelia of the human umbilical cord using a tedious procedure. We established a simple method to isolate abundant MSCs from human umbilical cord tissues (UC). 36 full-term umbilical cords were obtained. MSCs were isolated after enzyme digestion of minced cord fragments. The mean nucleated cells isolated from UC was 1.13±0.37×106/cm UC. A total of 1×10e10 MSCs was obtained after several passages over 4 weeks. CFU-F frequency is 1:1609. The population doubling time was approximately 28.02±10.53 h in passage 2 cells. The MSC cells were positive for CD13, CD29, CD44, SH-2, SH-3, CD166 and HLA class I (A, B, C), but were negative for CD34, CD38, CD45, CD31 and HLA-DR. More than 80% cells were in G0-G1 phase, whereas a small population of cells was engaged in proliferation (S+G2+M=9.16%). Under specified culture conditions, the MSC cells differentiated into adipocytes, osteoblasts and neural cells. The MSCs were also found to express cytokines of SCF, LIF, M-CSF, Flt3-ligand, IL-6, GM-CSF, G-CSF, VEGF, and SDF-1. When co-cultured with CD34+ cells from UC blood, the UC-derived MSCs were able to support the hematopoiesis of long-term culture-initiating cells. These findings suggested that abundant MSCs can be isolated simply and effectively from the whole cord tissue. Umbilical cords may be an attractive source of MSCs for tissue engineering, cord blood expansion and cord blood transplantation.

Abstract Background Bone marrow (BM) and umbilical cord (UC) are the main sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These two MSCs display significant differences in many biological characteristics, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms need to be explored. Results In this study, to better understanding the biological features of MSCs, we isolated BMMSCs and UCMSCs from inbred Wuzhishan miniature pigs and generated the first global DNA methylation and gene expression profiles of porcine MSCs. The results showed that the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation ability of porcine BMMSCs is stronger than that of UCMSCs. Stem cell surface marker CD90 were positively detected in both BMMSCs and UCMSCs. 587 genes were differentially methylated (280 hypermethylated and 307 hypomethylated) at the promoter regions between BMMSCs and UCMSCs. Meanwhile, 1,979 differentially expressed genes (1,407 up-regulated and 572 down-regulated) were identified between BMMSCs and UCMSCs. Integrative analysis reveals that 120 genes displayed differences in both gene expression and promoter methylation. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis revealed that these differential genes were associated with cell differentiation, cell migration, and immunogenicity properties. Remarkably, skeletal system development related genes were significantly hypomethylated and up-regulated in UCMSCs, while cell cycle genes were significantly higher down-regulated and hypermethylated, implying UCMSCs have higher cell proliferative activity and lower osteogenic differentiation potential than BMMSCs. Conclusions Our results indicate that DNA methylation plays an important role in regulating the biological characteristics differences between BMMSCs and UCMSCs. The study might provide a molecular theory basis for the application of porcine MSCs in human.

Background/Aim. The last decade has been profoundly marked by persistent attempts to use ex vivo expanded and manipulated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as a tool in different types of regenerative therapy. In the present study we described immunophenotype and the proliferative and differentiation potential of cells isolated from pulp remnants of exfoliated deciduous teeth in the final phase of root resorption. Methods. The initial adherent cell population from five donors was obtained by the outgrowth method. Colony forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) assay was performed in passage one. Cell expansion was performed until passage three and all tests were done until passage eight. Cells were labeled for early mesenchymal stem cells markers and analysis have been done using flow cytometry. The proliferative potential was assessed by cell counting in defined time points and population doubling time was calculated. Commercial media were used to induce osteoblastic, chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation. Cytology and histology methods were used for analysis of differentiated cell morphology and extracellular matrix characteristics. Results. According to immunophenotype analyses all undifferentiated cells were positive for the mesenchymal stem cell markers: CD29 and CD73. Some cells expressed CD146 and CD106. The hematopoietic cell marker, CD34, was not detected. In passage one, incidence of CFU-F was 4.7 ? 0.5/100. Population doubling time did not change significantly during cell subcultivation and was in average 25 h. After induction of differentiation, the multicolony derived cell population had a tri-lineage differentiation potential, since mineralized matrix, cartilage-like tissue and adipocytes were successfully formed after three weeks of incubation. Conclusion. Altogether, these data suggest that remnants of deciduous teeth dental pulp contained cell populations with mesenchymal stem cell-like features, with a high proliferation and trilineage differentiation potential and that these cultures are suitable for further in vitro evaluation of cell based therapies.

Preclinical studies on mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have allowed the cells to be considered as a promising candidate for cellular therapy. The mouse is the most widely used species for studying the characteristics of MSC. In recent years, conflicting data were reported regarding growth kinetics, surface marker profile, differentiation capacity, genetic instability or malignant transformation and so forth, that may be a result of a range of factors. One of the factors probably is the culture medium formulation.  Here we have made a comparative characterization of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (mBM-MSC), under the same experimental conditions, cultured using two common supplements, fetal bovine serum (FBS) and MesenCultTM Stimulatory Supplement (MSS). mBM-MSC isolated from the tibias of C57BL/6 mice were cultured and expanded in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium supplemented with either 15% FBS or 15% MSS.  Clonogenic potential, population doubling time, immunophenotyping, differentiation immunosuppression potentials and chromosome analysis of early and late passage of mBM-MSC were assessed.      The findings showed that the immunophenotype and differentiation potential of mBM-MSC were similar when cultured using these supplements irrespective of passages.  Variations were seen in clonogenic, growth, proliferation rate and immunosuppression potential of the mBM-MSC.  This study also revealed that prolonged culture will disrupt their genetic stability regardless of the supplements used.  The genetically mutated mBM-MSC were also found to maintain their stemness characteristics and immunosuppression potential.       In conclusion, culture medium formulation causes variations in the cultured MSC and may influence downstream investigation findings.

Background and Objective. Acquired aplastic anemia (aAA) is a bone marrow failure disorder characterized by pancytopenia and bone marrow aplasia. Bone marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM-MSCs) are an important component of BM microenvironment, associated with hematopoietic and immune homeostasis. Any alterations in BM microenvironment can disrupt the normal functioning and it needs to be assessed. Methods. In the current study, we investigated the morphological differences, proliferation capacity, population doubling time (PDT), surface marker profiling, trilineage differentiation potential, and immunosuppressive ability of BM Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM-MSCs) from untreated aAA patients and in the same number of age- and gender-matched controls. Results. We observed similar morphology, proliferation capacity, phenotype, trilineage differentiation potential, and immunomodulatory properties of BM-MSCs in aAA patients and control subjects. Conclusion. Our results confirm that the basic and immunosuppressive properties of BM-MSCs from aAA patients do not differ from normal BM-MSCs. Our data suggest that BM-MSCs from aAA patients might not be involved in disease pathogenesis. However, owing to a smaller number of samples, it is not conclusive, and future studies with more exhaustive investigation at transcriptome level are warranted.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the cells which has high renewal capacity and and are capable for differentiating into some types of cells. MSCs can be obtained from several tissues including bone marrow, synovial membrane, blood, adipose tissue and periosteum. The proliferation and self-repair ability of MSCs are the advantages to use as stem cells-based therapy of various diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the differentiation, characterization and priliferation of synovial membrane-derived MSCs (SM-MSCs).Materials and Methods: The cells proliferation capacity was determined by cell counting using trypan blue, characterization of MSCs (cluster of differentiation (CD)90, CD11b, CD73, CD34, CD19, CD45, CD105 and human leukocyte antigen-DR isotype (HLA-DR)) using flow cytometry analysis, and differentiation capability into three lineage cells was determined with red alcian blue, oil red O and alizarin staining.Results: The type culture of SM-MSCs was adherent and showed positive CD44, CD105, CD73, CD90 and negative of CD19, HLA-DR, CD11b, CD45, CD34 surface marker. Based on the result, SM-MSCs P3 showed differentiation potency into adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic lineage cells. The population doubling time of SM-MSCs has increased from P3 to P8. The population doubling time of SM-MSCs P3 was 1.69 days and SM-MSCs P8 was 3.64 days.Conclusion: The results indicated that SM-MCSCs from osteoarthritis patients are able to differentiate into osteocytes, chondrocytes, adipocytes and highly express of CD105, CD73, CD90, CD44 and negative for CD34, CD45, CD14, CD19.Keywords: synovial membrane, mesenchymal stromal cells, adipocyte, chondrocyte, osteocyte
