Objective: The treatment of liver failure by stem cell transplantation has attracted growing interest. Herein, we aim to explore the role of sodium butyrate (NaB) in the hepatic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) under liver-specific factors induction in vitro and vivo. Materials & Methods: We isolated BM-MSCs from the mononuclear cell fraction of rabbit bone marrow samples, and identified the cells by Immunophenotypic analysis. We investigated the effects of different concentrations and induction conditions. The histone deacetylase inhibitor NaB induced hepatic differentiation of BM-MSCs under liver-specific factors induction in vitro. Morphological features, liver-specific gene and protein expression, and functional analyses in vitro and vivo were performed to evaluate the hepatic differentiation of BM-MSCs. Results: Our results showed that pre-treated NaB inhibited the expression of liver-specific protein in a dose-dependent manner. The induction efficiency of NaB with 24h pre-treatment was higher than that of NaB continuous intervention. 0.5 mM 24h NaB pre-treated cells can improve liver tissue damage in vivo. And the liver ALB, AAT and the serum TP were significantly increased, while the serum ALT was significantly reduced. Conclusion: Continuous NaB treatment can inhibit BM-MSCs proliferation in a dose-dependent manner at a certain concentration range. 0.5 mM 24h pre-treatment of NaB enhanced differentiation of BM-MSCs into hepatocytes and improves liver injury in vitro and vivo.

Abstract Recent data show that the tyrosine kinase inhibitor Imatinib mesylate (IM) also affects normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), T lymphocyte activation and dendritic cell function not relying on the specific inhibition of bcr-abl activity. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been identified in the bone marrow (BM) as multipotent non-hematopoietic progenitor cells that differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, chondrocytes, tenocytes, skeletal myocytes, and cells of visceral mesoderm. MSC interact with HSC, influencing their homing and differentiation through cell-cell contact and the production of factors including chemokines We evaluated possible effects of IM in vitro on human bone marrow-derived MSC. Screening the activity of fourty-two receptor tyrosine kinases by a phospho-receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-array revealed an exclusive inhibition of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFRβ) by IM which consequently affects downstream targets of PDGFRβ as Akt and Erk1/2 signalling pathways in a concentration and time dependent manner. Furthermore, perinuclear multivesicular bodies harbouring PDGFRβ were found within 18–20 hours culture of MSC in the presence of 5 μM IM. Cell proliferation and clonogenicity (evaluated as the capability to form colony forming units - fibroblasts (CFU-F)) of MSC were significantly inhibited by IM in a concentration dependent fashion. IM inhibits significantly the differentiation process of MSC into osteoblasts as evaluated by decreased alkaline phosphatase activity and reduced calcium phosphate precipitates. In contrary, differentiation of MSC into adipocytes was strongly favoured in presence of IM. All these functional deficits described, probably contribute to an observed 50% reduction in the support of clonogenic hematopoietic stem cells, as evaluated by a long term culture-initiating cells (LTC-IC)-based assay. In summary our experiments show that IM inhibits the capacity of human MSC to proliferate and to differentiate into the osteogenic lineage, favouring adipogenesis. This effect is mainly mediated by an inhibition of PDGFRβ autophosphorylation leading to a more pronounced inhibition of PI3K/Akt compared to Erk1/2 signalling. This work confirms the role of PDGFRβ recently described for the proliferation and differentiation potential of MSC and provides a first possible explanation for the altered bone metabolism found in certain patients treated with IM.

In the present study, we demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) of the 3rd passage displayed the senescence-associated phenotypes characterized with increased activity of SA-β-gal, altered autophagy, and increased G1 cell cycle arrest, ROS production, and expression of p53 andp21Cip1/Waf1compared with BMSCs of the 1st passage. Cholesterol (CH) reduced the number of SA-β-gal positive cells in a dose-dependent manner in aging BMSCs induced by H2O2and the 3rd passage BMSCs. Moreover, CH inhibited the production of ROS and expression of p53 andp21Cip1/Waf1in both cellular senescence models and decreased the percentage of BMSCs in G1 cell cycle in the 3rd passage BMSCs. CH prevented the increase in SA-β-gal positive cells induced by RITA (reactivation of p53 and induction of tumor cell apoptosis, a p53 activator) or 3-MA (3-methyladenine, an autophagy inhibitor). Our results indicate that CH not only is a structural component of cell membrane but also functionally contributes to regulating cellular senescence by modulating cell cycle, autophagy, and the ROS/p53/p21Cip1/Waf1signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVEMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to localize to gliomas after intravascular delivery. Because these cells home to areas of tissue injury, the authors hypothesized that the administration of ionizing radiation (IR) to tumor would enhance the tropism of MSCs to gliomas. Additionally, they sought to identify which radiation-induced factors might attract MSCs.METHODSTo assess the effect of IR on MSC migration in vitro, transwell assays using conditioned medium (CM) from an irradiated commercially available glioma cell line (U87) and from irradiated patient-derived glioma stem-like cells (GSCs; GSC7-2 and GSC11) were employed. For in vivo testing, green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled MSCs were injected into the carotid artery of nude mice harboring orthotopic U87, GSC7-2, or GSC17 xenografts that were treated with either 0 or 10 Gy of IR, and brain sections were quantitatively analyzed by immunofluorescence for GFP-positive cells. These GSCs were used because GSC7-2 is a weak attractor of MSCs at baseline, whereas GSC17 is a strong attractor. To determine the factors implicated in IR-induced tropism, CM from irradiated GSC7-2 and from GSC11 was assayed with a cytokine array and quantitative ELISA.RESULTSTranswell migration assays revealed statistically significant enhanced MSC migration to CM from irradiated U87, GSC7-2, and GSC11 compared with nonirradiated controls and in a dose-dependent manner. After their intravascular delivery into nude mice harboring orthotopic gliomas, MSCs engrafted more successfully in irradiated U87 (p = 0.036), compared with nonirradiated controls. IR also significantly increased the tropism of MSCs to GSC7-2 xenografts (p = 0.043), which are known to attract MSCs only poorly at baseline (weak-attractor GSCs). Ionizing radiation also increased the engraftment of MSCs in strong-attractor GSC17 xenografts, but these increases did not reach statistical significance. The chemokine CCL2 was released by GSC7-2 and GSC11 after irradiation in a dose-dependent manner and mediated in vitro transwell migration of MSCs. Immunohistochemistry revealed increased CCL2 in irradiated GSC7-2 gliomas near the site of MSC engraftment.CONCLUSIONSAdministering IR to gliomas enhances MSC localization, particularly in GSCs that attract MSCs poorly at baseline. The chemokine CCL2 appears to play a crucial role in the IR-induced tropism of MSCs to gliomas.

AbstractN6-methyladenosine (m6A) is required for differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). However, its intrinsic mechanisms are largely unknown. To identify the possible role of m6A binding protein YTHDF1 in hBMSCs osteogenesis in vivo, we constructed Ythdf1 KO mice and showed that depletion of Ythdf1 would result in decreased bone mass in vivo. Both deletion of Ythdf1 in mouse BMSCs and shRNA-mediated knockdown of YTHDF1 in hBMSCs prevented osteogenic differentiation of cells in vitro. Using methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (Me-RIP) sequencing and RIP-sequencing, we found that ZNF839 (a zinc finger protein) served as a target of YTHDF1. We also verified its mouse homolog, Zfp839, was translationally regulated by Ythdf1 in an m6A-dependent manner. Zfp839 potentiated BMSC osteogenesis by interacting with and further enhancing the transcription activity of Runx2. These findings should improve our understanding of the mechanism of BMSC osteogenesis regulation and provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Objective. To investigate the transplantation effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the expression of interlukin-22 (IL-22) and RANKL in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats. Methods. 32 CIA models were established. 16 CIA rats were transplanted with MSCs, and others were used as nontreatment CIA controls. The concentrations of IL-22 and RANKL in serum were detected by ELISA and those in synovial tissue of rats’ joints by immunohistochemical staining. In addition, the expression of RANKL mRNA was measured by RT-PCR in the fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), cultured with IL-22 in vitro, which were delivered from the joints of CIA rats treated with or without MSCs. Results. The transplantation of MSCs into CIA rats relieved the destruction of joints, measured by AI score, X-ray, and histopathology. MSCs also reduced the expression of IL-22 and RANKL in serum by ELISA (P<0.001) and similarly in FLSs by immunohistochemical staining. In vitro, IL-22 induced significantly the expression of RANKL mRNA in cultured FLSs in a dose-dependent manner, whereas this induction was significantly reduced in FLSs derived from CIA rats transplanted with MSCs (normal controls: F=79.33, P<0.001; CIA controls: F=712.72, P<0.001; and CIA-MSC rats: F=139.04, P<0.001). Conclusion. Our results suggest that the transplantation of MSCs can reduce the expression of RANKL in vivo by downregulating the levels of IL-22, thereby ameliorating the degree of RA bone destruction. This study provides a theoretical basis for a potential therapy of RA with MSCs, and IL-22 and RANKL may become two new targets to treat RA.
