Wikarska A, Roszak K, Roszek K. Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Purinergic Signaling in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Bridging the Gap between Cell-Based Strategies and Neuro-Immune Modulation. Biomedicines 2024; 12:1310. [PMID: 38927517 PMCID: PMC11201695 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12061310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is still increasing, which means that this neurodevelopmental lifelong pathology requires special scientific attention and efforts focused on developing novel therapeutic approaches. It has become increasingly evident that neuroinflammation and dysregulation of neuro-immune cross-talk are specific hallmarks of ASD, offering the possibility to treat these disorders by factors modulating neuro-immunological interactions. Mesenchymal stem cell-based therapy has already been postulated as one of the therapeutic approaches for ASD; however, less is known about the molecular mechanisms of stem cell influence. One of the possibilities, although still underestimated, is the paracrine purinergic activity of MSCs, by which stem cells ameliorate inflammatory reactions. Modulation of adenosine signaling may help restore neurotransmitter balance, reduce neuroinflammation, and improve overall brain function in individuals with ASD. In our review article, we present a novel insight into purinergic signaling, including but not limited to the adenosinergic pathway and its role in neuroinflammation and neuro-immune cross-talk modulation. We anticipate that by achieving a greater understanding of the purinergic signaling contribution to ASD and related disorders, novel therapeutic strategies may be devised for patients with autism in the near future.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have unique biological properties and play important functions, which make them attractive tools for cell-based therapies. The basic mechanisms of these cells are not fully understood. However, the adenosinergic pathway contributes to the main effects attributed to MSCs. Adenosine is a highly immunosuppressive molecule and exerts a central role in inflammation by neutralizing the proinflammatory ATP influence. This nucleoside is produced by purinergic signaling, an important physiological pathway for MSCs, which involves proliferation, migration, differentiation, and apoptosis. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the extracellular AMP hydrolysis and consequent adenosine production, as well as the expression of CD73 and adenosine receptors on the cell surface of MSCs isolated from different human tissues: dermis (D-MSCs), adipose tissue (AD-MSCs), and umbilical cord (UC-MSCs). All cells confirmed their multipotent capacity by adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation, as well as the expression of cell surface markers including CD44 + , CD105 + , and CD90 + . All MSCs expressed similar levels of CD73 and CD26 without a statistical difference among the different tissues, whereas ADA expression was lower in AD-MSCs. In addition, A1R and A3R mRNA levels were higher in D-MSCs and AD-MSCs, respectively. Enzymatic assay showed that AD-MSCs have the highest hydrolysis rate of AMP, leading to increased amount of adenosine production. Moreover, despite all MSCs completely hydrolyze extracellular AMP generating adenosine, the pattern of nucleosides metabolism was different. Therefore, although MSCs share certain characteristics as the multilineage potential and immunophenotype, they show different adenosinergic profiles according to tissue origin.

Lessons from the interplay of hypoxia and purinergic signals elsewhere. Biochem Pharmacol 2023:115646. [PMID: 37321413 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2023.115646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Revised: 06/03/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The osteochondral unit comprises the articular cartilage (90%), subchondral bone (5%) and calcified cartilage (5%). All cells present at the osteochondral unit that is ultimately responsible for matrix production and osteochondral homeostasis, such as chondrocytes, osteoblasts, osteoclasts and osteocytes, can release adenine and/or uracil nucleotides to the local microenvironment. Nucleotides are released by these cells either constitutively or upon plasma membrane damage, mechanical stress or hypoxia conditions. Once in the extracellular space, endogenously released nucleotides can activate membrane-bound purinoceptors. Activation of these receptors is fine-tuning regulated by nucleotides' breakdown by enzymes of the ecto-nucleotidase cascade. Depending on the pathophysiological conditions, both the avascular cartilage and the subchondral bone subsist to significant changes in oxygen tension, which has a tremendous impact on tissue homeostasis. Cell stress due to hypoxic conditions directly influences the expression and activity of several purinergic signalling players, namely nucleotide release channels (e.g. Cx43), NTPDase enzymes and purinoceptors. This review gathers experimental evidence concerning the interplay between hypoxia and the purinergic signalling cascade contributing to osteochondral unit homeostasis. Reporting deviations to this relationship resulting from pathological alterations of articular joints may ultimately unravel novel therapeutic targets for osteochondral rehabilitation. At this point, one can only hypothesize how hypoxia mimetic conditions can be beneficial to the ex vivo expansion and differentiation of osteo- and chondro-progenitors for auto-transplantation and tissue regenerative purposes.

Lef1 ablation alleviates cartilage mineralization following posttraumatic osteoarthritis induction. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2022; 119:e2116855119.

Abstract
Cartilage mineralization is imperative in various processes such as skeletal growth and fracture repair. However, this process may also be pathological, as in the case of the degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis (OA). Using a posttraumatic OA model (PTOA), we find that cartilage-specific Sirt1 genetic nulls caused severe synovitis and mineralization of the lateral joint compartment, due to augmented Lef1 gene expression. Conversely, cartilage-specific Lef1 nulls exhibited impaired synovitis and mineralization of the lateral joint, accompanied by a reduction of local pain. Consistently, transcriptomic profiles of Lef1-ablated chondrocytes exhibited enhanced anabolism, yet impaired pathways related to calcification and inflammation. Accordingly, cartilage mineralization of the lateral joint compartment relies on amplified inflammatory pathways, contributing to articular damage following PTOA. Cartilage mineralization is a tightly controlled process, imperative for skeletal growth and fracture repair. However, in osteoarthritis (OA), cartilage mineralization may impact the joint range of motion, inflict pain, and increase chances for joint effusion. Here we attempt to understand the link between inflammation and cartilage mineralization by targeting Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 (LEF1), both reported to have contrasting effects on cartilage. We find that inflammatory-dependent cleavage of SIRT1 or its cartilage-specific genetic ablation, directly enhanced LEF1 expression accompanied by a catabolic response. Applying a posttraumatic OA (PTOA) model to cartilage-specific Sirt1 nulls displayed severe OA, which was accompanied by synovitis, meniscal mineralization, and osteophyte formation of the lateral joint compartment. Alternatively, cartilage-specific Lef1 nulls presented reduced lateral mineralization, OA severity, and local pain. Differential gene expression analysis revealed that Lef1 ablation reduced nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and Toll-like receptor (Tlr) pathways, while enhancing SRY-Box transcription factor 9 (Sox9) and cartilaginous extracellular matrix genes. The results support a link between inflammation and Lef1-dependent cartilage mineralization, mediated by the inactivation of Sirt1. By ablating Lef1 in a PTOA model, the structural and pain-related phenotypes of OA were reduced, in part, by preventing cartilage mineralization of the lateral joint compartment, partially manifested by meniscal tissue mineralization. Overall, these data provide a molecular axis to link between inflammation and cartilage in a PTOA model.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play an important role in tissue homeostasis and damage repair through their ability to differentiate into cells of different tissues, trophic support, and immunomodulation. These properties made them attractive for clinical applications in regenerative medicine, immune disorders, and cell transplantation. However, despite multiple preclinical and clinical studies demonstrating beneficial effects of MSCs, their native identity and mechanisms of action remain inconclusive. Since its discovery, the CD73/ecto-5'-nucleotidase is known as a classic marker for MSCs, but its role goes far beyond a phenotypic characterization antigen. CD73 contributes to adenosine production, therefore, is an essential component of purinergic signaling, a pathway composed of different nucleotides and nucleosides, which concentrations are finely regulated by the ectoenzymes and receptors. Thus, purinergic signaling controls pathophysiological functions such as proliferation, migration, cell fate, and immune responses. Despite the remarkable progress already achieved in considering adenosinergic pathway as a therapeutic target in different pathologies, its role is not fully explored in the context of the therapeutic functions of MSCs. Therefore, in this review, we provide an overview of the role of CD73 and adenosine-mediated signaling in the functions ascribed to MSCs, such as homing and proliferation, cell differentiation, and immunomodulation. Additionally, we will discuss the pathophysiological role of MSCs, via CD73 and adenosine, in different diseases, as well as in tumor development and progression. A better understanding of the adenosinergic pathway in the regulation of MSCs functions will help to provide improved therapeutic strategies applicable in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Extracellular purines, principally adenosine triphosphate and adenosine, are among the oldest evolutionary and widespread chemical messengers. The integrative view of purinergic signaling as a multistage coordinated cascade involves the participation of nucleotides/nucleosides, their receptors, enzymes metabolizing extracellular nucleosides and nucleotides as well as several membrane transporters taking part in the release and/or uptake of these molecules. In view of the emerging data, it is evident and widely accepted that an extensive network of diverse enzymatic activities exists in the extracellular space. The enzymes regulate the availability of nucleotide and adenosine receptor agonists, and consequently, the course of signaling events. The current data indicate that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and cells induced to differentiate exhibit different sensitivity to purinergic ligands as well as a distinct activity and expression profiles of ectonucleotidases than mature cells. In the proposed review, we postulate for a critical role of these enzymatic players which, by orchestrating a fine-tune regulation of nucleotides concentrations, are integrally involved in modulation and diversification of purinergic signals. This specific hallmark of the MSC purinome should be linked with cell-specific biological potential and capacity for tissue regeneration. We anticipate this publication to be a starting point for scientific discussion and novel approach to the in vitro and in vivo regulation of the MSC properties.

Abstract
Stem cells and other associated cell types may be a potential alternative to treat various genetic disorders that currently do not benefit from traditional approaches. Functional recovery of cells could be induced via directional differentiation or genetic manipulation. In this study, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were obtained from a patient with osteoarthritis (OA) carrying a functional single‑nucleotide polymorphism (SNP rs143383, C/T transition) within the 5'‑UTR of growth and differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) gene. The SNP causes GDF5 expression to be reduced and thus increases OA susceptibility. Aiming to correct the dysfunctional gene, a pair of transcription activator‑like effector nucleases (TALENs) were designed to cleave the DNA around the mutated locus, coupled with a short single stranded DNA complementary to the cleavage site. Following in vitro cell colony formation and selection, two genetically corrected MSC colonies were identified out of a total of 142. These MSCs were induced and differentiated into chondrocytes. As a result, genetically corrected chondrocytes exhibited normal morphology and lower levels of apoptosis compared with cells carrying the SNP. In cultured cells, the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases was suppressed and TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 was increased by correction of the mutation. Furthermore, the expression of GDF5 target genes, cell vitality‑associated genes and extracellular matrix degrading genes were returned to normal levels in corrected cells compared with mutation‑carrying cells, indicating the functional recovery of these corrected chondrocytes. The present study demonstrated that TALEN‑mediated genetic correction can be used to edit genes in adipose‑derived MSCs from patients with OA and may have clinical potential.

Abstract
Human Limbal (L-MSCs) and Dermal Mesenchymal Stem Cell (D-MSCs) possess many properties that increase their therapeutic potential in ophthalmology and dermatology. It is known that purinergic signaling plays a role in many aspects of mesenchymal stem cells physiology. They release and respond to purinergic ligands, altering proliferation, migration, differentiation, and apoptosis. Therefore, more information on these processes would be crucial for establishing future clinical applications using their differentiation potential, but without undesirable side effects. This study evaluated and compared the expression of ecto-nucleotidases, the enzymatic activity of degradation of extracellular nucleotides and the metabolism of extracellular ATP in D-MSCs and L-MSCs, isolated from discard tissues of human skin and sclerocorneal rims. The D-MSCs and L-MSCs showed a differentiation potential into osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineages and the expression of markers CD105+ , CD44+ , CD14- , CD34- , CD45- , as expected. Both cells hydrolyzed low levels of extracellular ATP and high levels of AMP, leading to adenosine accumulation that can regulate inflammation and tissue repair. These cells expressed mRNA for ENTPD1, 2, 3, 5 and 6, and CD73 that corresponded to the observed enzymatic activities. Thus, considering the degradation of ATP and adenosine production, limbal MSCs are very similar to dermal MSCs, indicating that from the aspect of extracellular nucleotide metabolism L-MSCs are very similar to the characterized D-MSCs.

Abstract
The presented results show for the first time that the neurogenic transdifferentiation of hUC-MSCs considerably changes the elements of purinergic signaling profile. Although, it has been demonstrated in the literature that extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides determine the fate of mesenchymal and neural stem cells, there is lack of comprehensive studies on the activity of ecto-enzymes metabolizing nucleotides on the surface of neurogenically induced cells. Our study shows that human UC-MSCs sense the microenvironment and adjust their response to the environmental signals for example, adenine nucleotides and nucleosides. Nucleotides, and not adenosine, signaling alters the biological potential of MSCs-decreases their proliferation rate, increases the neurogenic transdifferentiation efficiency expressed as the number of positively labeled NCAM+ and A2B5+ cells and simultaneously increases the ecto-nucleotidases activity on neural- and glial-committed precursors. Purines implication in the proliferative and neurogenic potential of hUC-MSCs is of strong importance for the in vitro propagation of hUC-MSCs and for their successive therapeutic applications. J.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP and other nucleotides induce autocrine and/or paracrine purinergic signalling via activation of the P2 receptors on the cell surface, which represents one of the most common signalling mechanisms. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are a type of multipotent adult stem cells that have many promising applications in regenerative medicine. There is increasing evidence to show that extracellular nucleotides regulate MSC functions and P2 receptor-mediated purinergic signalling plays an important role in such functional regulation. P2 receptors comprise ligand-gated ion channel P2X receptors and G-protein-coupled P2Y receptors. In this review, we provide an overview of the current understanding with respect to expression of the P2X and P2Y receptors in MSC and their roles in mediating extracellular nucleotide regulation of MSC proliferation, migration and differentiation.

Abstract
The presented results evidence that canine adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) represent the premature population of stem cells with great biological potential and properties. ADCS are easy to obtain and culture, able to differentiate into the neurogenic lineage as well as it is easy to control their proliferation rate with nucleotides and nucleosides or analogues. We report that in vitro cultured canine ADSCs response to adenosine- and ATP-mediated stimulation. Differences in canine ADSCs and human mesenchymal stem cells in ecto-nucleotidase activity have been observed. The ecto-nucleotidase activity changes during ADSCs in vitro transdifferentiation into neurogenic lineage are fast and simple to analyze. Therefore, the simple analysis of ecto-enzymes activity allows for verification of the stem cells quality: their stemness or initiation of the differentiation process. The biological potential of the cells isolated from canine fat, as well as the good quality control of this cell culture, make them a promising tool for both experimental and therapeutic usage. J.

Abstract
It is now widely recognised that changes of the intracellular calcium concentration have deep impact on the differentiation of various non-excitable cells including the elements of the vertebrate skeleton. It has become evident that purinergic signalling is one of the most ancient cellular mechanisms that can cause such alterations in the intracellular Ca(2+)-homeostasis, which are precisely set either spatially or temporally. Purinergic signalling is believed to regulate intracellular Ca(2+)-concentration of developing cartilage and skeletal muscle cells and suggested to play roles in the modulation of various cellular functions. This idea is supported by the fact that pluripotent mesenchymal cells, chondroprogenitors or muscle precursors, as well as mature chondrocytes all are capable of releasing ectonucleotides, and express various types of purinoreceptors and ectonucleotidases. The presence of the basic components of purinergic signalling proves that cells of the chondrogenic lineage can utilise this mechanism for modulating their intracellular Ca(2+) concentration independently from the surrounding skeletal muscle and bone tissues, which are well known to release ectopurines during development and mechanical stress. In this review, we summarize accumulating experimental evidence supporting the importance of purinergic signalling in the regulation of chondrogenesis and during skeletal muscle formation.
