Immunomodulatory and wound healing activities of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been reported in various in vitro and in vivo experimental models suggesting their beneficial role in regenerative medicine and treatments of inflammatory-related disorders. Lipoma-derived stem cells (LDSCs) were reported as a potential tool in regenerative medicine due to the similarity with ADSCs but we have previously shown that LDSCs have different differentiation capacity than ADSCs despite a similar mesenchymal phenotype. To further analyze the potential differences and/or similarities between those two stem cell types, in the present study we examined the macrophages (MΦs)’ response, immunomodulatory and wound healing effect of conditioned media (CM) of LDSCs and ADSCs in indirect co-culture system in vitro. We confirmed similar mesenchymal phenotype and stemness state of LDSCs and ADSCs but indicated differences in expression of some inflammatory-related genes. Anti-inflammatory potential of CM of LDSCs and ADSCs, with pronounced effect of LDSCs, in unstimulated RAW 264.7 MΦs was evaluated by decrease in Tnf and increase in Il10 gene expression, which was confirmed by corresponding cytokines’ secretion analysis. Conditioned media of both LDSCs and ADSCs led to the functional activation of MΦs, with slightly more pronounced effect of CM of LDSCs, while both stimulated wound healing in vitro in a similar manner. Results of this study suggest that LDSCs secrete soluble factors like ADSCs and therefore may have a potential for application in regenerative medicine, due to immunomodulatory and wound healing activity, and indicate that LDSCs through secretome may interact with other cells in lipoma tissue.

AbstractWound healing is regulated by complex interactions between the keratinocytes and other cell types including fibroblasts. Recently, adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (ASCs) have been reported to influence wound healing positively via paracrine involvement. However, their roles in keratinocytes are still obscure. Therefore, investigation of the precise effects of ASCs on keratinocytes in an in vitro culture system is required. Our recent data indicate that the epidermal equivalents became thicker on a collagen vitrigel membrane co-cultured with human ASCs (hASCs). Co-culturing the human primary epidermal keratinocytes (HPEK) with hASCs on a collagen vitrigel membrane enhanced their abilities for cell proliferation and adhesion to the membrane but suppressed their differentiation suggesting that hASCs could maintain the undifferentiated status of HPEK. Contrarily, the effects of co-culture using polyethylene terephthalate or polycarbonate membranes for HPEK were completely opposite. These differences may depend on the protein permeability and/or structure of the membrane. Taken together, our data demonstrate that hASCs could be used as a substitute for fibroblasts in skin wound repair, aesthetic medicine, or tissue engineering. It is also important to note that a co-culture system using the collagen vitrigel membrane allows better understanding of the interactions between the keratinocytes and ASCs.

Background/Aims: Pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest human malignancies, the lethality of which may be attributed to the presence of pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs), a small subpopulation of cells existing within pancreatic tumor with high carcinogenesis. Therefore, it is crucial to establish an efficient enrichment and culture system of PCSCs and identify the key genes involved in the regulation of PCSCs. The three-dimensional (3D) liquid suspension mammosphere culture system has been established for enrichment and culture of PCSCs in vitro as the cell spheres are likely to originate from individual cell clone, but it has been challenged because the cell spheroids could be a result of cell aggregation. Methods: We optimized the existing culture system by adding methylcellulose to create a 3D semi-solid system which prevented the non-specific aggregation. Then we identified the CSC properties of Panc-1 spheroid cells cultured by this system by detecting the genes associated with stemness and by evaluation of the tumorigenicity in vitro and in vivo through invasion, migration and xenograft experiments methods. Subsequently, we performed high-throughput sequencing (HTS) of the Panc-1 spheroid cells. Results: We confirmed the PCSCs properties and high malignancy of the Panc-1 spheroid cells enriched by our novel 3D semi-solid system both in vitro and in vivo. Hundreds of mRNA, microRNA (miRNA) and dozens of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) were identified to be differentially regulated in PCSCs-like Panc-1 spheroid cells compared with their parental cells by HTS. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate an efficient enrichment and culture system for Panc-1 spheroid cells with the PCSCs properties. The differentially expressed genes and their targets identified by the HTS of the Panc-1 spheroid cells can serve as new potential biomarkers for pancreatic cancer diagnosis and targeted therapy.

Chronic and acute nonhealing wounds represent a major public health problem, and replacement of cutaneous lesions by the newly regenerated skin is challenging. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) were separately tested in the attempt to regenerate the lost skin. However, these treatments often remained inefficient to achieve complete wound healing. Additional studies suggested that PRP could be used in combination with MSC to improve the cell therapy efficacy for tissue repair. However, systematic studies related to the effects of PRP on MSC properties and their ability to rebuild skin barrier are lacking. We evaluated in a mouse exhibiting 4 full-thickness wounds, the skin repair ability of a treatment combining human adipose-derived MSC and human PRP by comparison to treatment with saline solution, PRP alone, or MSC alone. Wound healing in these animals was measured at day 3, day 7, and day 10. In addition, we examined in vitro and in vivo whether PRP alters in MSC their proangiogenic properties, their survival, and their proliferation. We showed that PRP improved the efficacy of engrafted MSC to replace lost skin in mice by accelerating the wound healing processes and ameliorating the elasticity of the newly regenerated skin. In addition, we found that PRP treatment stimulated in vitro, in a dose-dependent manner, the proangiogenic potential of MSC through enhanced secretion of soluble factors like VEGF and SDF-1. Moreover, PRP treatment ameliorated the survival and activated the proliferation of in vitro cultured MSC and that these effects were accompanied by an alteration of the MSC energetic metabolism including oxygen consumption rate and mitochondrial ATP production. Similar observations were found in vivo following combined administration of PRP and MSC into mouse wounds. In conclusion, our study strengthens that the use of PRP in combination with MSC might be a safe alternative to aid wound healing.

A culture system is described in which bone marrow-derived adherent cells can support prolonged proliferation and differentiation of genetically incompatible stem cells and precursor cells. The results suggest that the reactive cells responsible in vivo for host transplantation resistance and for graft-versus-host disease are selectively lost or inhibited in such cultures, which may provide a vehicle for studying some of the cellular mechanisms involved in transplantation resistance.

Tissue engineering (TE) pursues the ambitious goal to heal damaged tissues. One of the most successful TE approaches relies on the use of scaffolds specifically designed and fabricated to promote tissue growth. During regeneration the guidance of biological events may be essential to sustain vasculature neoformation inside the engineered scaffold. In this context, one of the most effective strategies includes the incorporation of vasculature forming cells, namely endothelial cells (EC), into engineered constructs. However, the most common EC sources currently available, intended as primary cells, are affected by several limitations that make them inappropriate to personalized medicine. Human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (hiPSC), since the time of their discovery, represent an unprecedented opportunity for regenerative medicine applications. Unfortunately, human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells-Endothelial Cells (hiPSC-ECs) still display significant safety issues. In this work, we reviewed the most effective protocols to induce pluripotency, to generate cells displaying the endothelial phenotype and to perform an efficient and safe cell selection. We also provide noteworthy examples of both in vitro and in vivo applications of hiPSC-ECs in order to highlight their ability to form functional blood vessels. In conclusion, we propose hiPSC-ECs as the preferred source of endothelial cells currently available in the field of personalized regenerative medicine.

Abstract Bone marrow (BM), a site of hematopoiesis, is a multicellular tissue with a complex architecture. Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell malignancy where even patients in remission succumb to an inevitable relapse. While considerable progress has been made towards understanding and treating MM, to date, there is no culture system which can recapitulate the complex interactions within the BM microenvironment. Current failure to grow the MM clone within the context of human microenvironment hampers progress into the understanding of the biology of MM and design of biologically relevant therapies. Here we present an in vitro three-dimensional (3-D) tissue culture model which recapitulates the human BM microenvironment allowing for the growth and expansion of the MM clone. Cells from the BM aspirates are grown in a fibronectin, laminin and collagen rich ECM designed to reconstruct in vitro endosteum and central marrow, mimicking the in vivo microenvironment of the BM. Proliferation and redistribution of cells within reconstructed ECM results in stratification of the culture, mimicking the in vivo condition where cells occupy individual niches. Cellular composition of the culture is maintained in accordance with the proliferation properties of the BM where osteoblasts, osteoclasts, adipocytes and stromal cells differentiate along with the full complement of the hematopoietic cells. BM cultures from normal donors are well-organized with osteoclasts and hematopoietic cells occupying distinct positions in the ECM. In contrast, reconstructed BM from MM patients is disorganized in 3-D where osteoclasts intermingle with the hematopoietic compartment. The MM malignant clone is expanded in 3-D cultures as measured by real-time quantitative PCR (rqPCR) for genomic clonotypic VDJ sequences. Malignant B and plasma cells proliferate in these cultures and FISH analysis reveals that their progeny harbor chromosomal abnormalities identical to those that mark the malignant clone prior to culture. Preclinical testing of emerging therapeutics targeted for multiple myeloma is hindered by the failure of the current models to sustain growth of the myeloma clone. In the 3-D culture, myeloma clone expands within its native environment providing an ideal preclinical model where conventional (Melphalan) and novel (Velcade) therapeutics efficiently and selectively kill their target cells. In the 3-D BM culture model, non-proliferating, label retaining cells (LRC) concentrate at a putative endosteum-marrow junction, where hematopoietic stem cells have been shown to localize in vivo, suggesting that the drug-resistant myeloma stem cells localize to the endosteal niche. In a colony-forming assay, drug-resistant LRC purified from the 3-D cultures form clonal colonies composed of malignant cells with patient specific clonotypic VDJ sequences. Recapitulation of the BM architecture in vitro is a first step towards the identification and therapeutic targeting of the elusive myeloma stem cell.

Radioactive dermatitis is caused by the exposure of skin and mucous membranes to radiation fields. The pathogenesis of radioactive dermatitis is complex and difficult to cure. Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) may serve as a promising candidate for the therapy of cutaneous wounds. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a WJ-MSC-derived conditioned medium (MSC-CM) could be used to treat radiation-induced skin wounds in rats using a radiation-induced cutaneous injury model. The present study was designed to examine MSC-CM therapy in the recovery of radiation-induced skin wounds in vitro and in vivo. Firstly, we prepared the MSC-CM and tested the effects of the MSC-CM on human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation in vitro. After that, we used a β-ray beam to make skin wounds in rats and tested the effects of MSC-CM on cutaneous wound healing in vivo. Our results indicated that MSC-CM secreted factors that promoted HUVEC proliferation, regeneration of sebaceous glands, and angiogenesis. Importantly, MSC-CM promoted wound healing in excess of the positive control (epidermal growth factor), with no, or smaller, scar formation. In conclusion, MSC-CM significantly accelerated wound closure and enhanced the wound healing quality. MSC-CM has a beneficial therapeutic effect on radiation-induced cutaneous injury skin in rats and in this way MSC-CM may serve as a basis of a novel cell-free therapeutic approach for radiation dermatitis.
