Mesenchymal stem cells of Oravka chicken breed: promising path to biodiversity conservation. Poult Sci 2023; 102:102807. [PMID: 37302325 PMCID: PMC10276279 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2023.102807] [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: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multilineage cells able to differentiate into other cell types. MSCs derived from bone marrow or compact bones are the most accessible stem cells used in tissue engineering. Therefore, the aim of this study was to isolate, characterize and cryopreserve MSCs of endangered Oravka chicken breed. MSCs were obtained from compact bones of the femur and tibiotarsus. MSCs were spindle-shaped and were able to differentiate into osteo-, adipo-, and chondrocytes under the specific differentiation conditions. Furthermore, MSCs were positive for surface markers such as CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD146 and negative for CD34CD45 by flow cytometry. Moreover, MSCs demonstrated high positivity of "stemness" markers aldehyde dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase as well as for intracellular markers vimentin, desmin, α-SMA. Subsequently, MSCs were cryopreserved using 10% dimethyl sulfoxide in liquid nitrogen. Based on the results from the viability, phenotype, and ultrastructure assessment we can concluded that the MSCs were not negatively affected by the cryopreservation. Finally, MSCs of endangered Oravka chicken breed were successfully stored in animal gene bank, thus making them a valuable genetic resource.

Effect of Human Platelet Lysate as Cultivation Nutrient Supplement on Human Natal Dental Pulp Stem Cell In Vitro Expansion. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12081091. [PMID: 36008985 PMCID: PMC9405745 DOI: 10.3390/biom12081091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2022] [Revised: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite several scientific or ethical issues, fetal bovine serum (FBS) remains the standard nutrient supplement in the mesenchymal stem cell cultivation medium. Cell amplification plays an important role in human stem cell therapies. Increasing interest in this field has supported attempts to find suitable human alternatives to FBS for in vitro cell propagation. Human platelet lysate (hPL) has recently been determined as one of them. Our study aimed to evaluate the influence of 2% hPL in the growth medium for in vitro expansion of human natal dental pulp stem cells (hNDP-SCs). The effect was determined on proliferation rate, viability, phenotype profile, expression of several markers, relative telomere length change, and differentiation potential of four lineages of hNDP-SCs. As a control, hNDP-SCs were simultaneously cultivated in 2% FBS. hNDP-SCs cultivated in hPL showed a statistically significantly higher proliferation rate in initial passages. We did not observe a statistically significant effect on mesenchymal stem cell marker (CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90) or stromal-associated marker (CD13, CD166) expression. The cell viability, relative telomere length, or multipotency remained unaffected in hNDP-SCs cultivated in hPL-medium. In conclusion, hPL produced under controlled and standardized conditions is an efficient serum supplement for in vitro expansion of hNDP-SCs.

Abstract
Creation of scaffold-based tissue-engineered constructs (SB TECs) is costly and requires coordinated qualified efforts. Cryopreservation enables longer shelf-life for SB TECs while enormously enhancing their availability as medical products. Regenerative treatment with cryopreserved SB TECs prepared in advance (possibly prêt-à-porter) can be started straight away on demand. Animal studies and clinical trials indicate similar levels of safety for cryopreserved and freshly prepared SB TECs. Although cryopreservation of such constructs is more difficult than that of cell suspensions or tissues, years of research have proved the principal possibility of using ready-to-transplant SB TECs after prolonged cryostorage. Cryopreservation efficiency depends not only on the sheer viability of adherent cells on scaffolds after thawing, but largely on the retention of proliferative and functional properties by the cells, as well as physical and mechanical properties by the scaffolds. Cryopreservation protocols require careful optimization, as their efficiency depends on multiple parameters including cryosensitivity of cells, chemistry and architecture of scaffolds, conditions of cell culture before freezing, cryoprotectant formulations, etc. In this review we discuss recent achievements in SB TEC cryopreservation as a major boost for the field of tissue engineering and biobanking.

SSEA-4 Antigen Is Expressed on Rabbit Lymphocyte Subsets. MAGNETOCHEMISTRY 2021. [DOI: 10.3390/magnetochemistry7070094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
SSEA-4 antigen can be mainly found in embryos and embryonic stem cells. However, its expression has been observed also in adult stem and progenitor cells, or even in some differentiated cells. Moreover, we found a considerable number of SSEA-4 positive (SSEA-4+) cells within the rabbit peripheral blood and bone marrow mononuclear cells (PBMCs and BMMCs) in our previous study. Since no information about such cells can be found anywhere in the literature, the aim of this study was to identify their origin. At first, phenotypic analyses of fresh rabbit PBMCs and BMMCs were performed using flow cytometry and specific antibodies against SSEA-4 and leukocyte subsets. Then, SSEA-4+ were enriched using magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) and analyzed for their phenotype using qPCR. We found significant SSEA-4+ cell population in PBMCs (~50%) and BMMCs (~20%). All those cells co-expressed CD45 and a majority of them also expressed B-cell marker (IgM; 50% of SSEA-4+ PBMCs and 60% of SSEA-4+ BMMCs). Increased (p < 0.05) expression of SSEA-4, CD45 and B-cell markers (IgM, CD79α and MHCII) were also noticed by qPCR in SSEA-4+ cells enriched via MACS (with efficiency over 80%). Both methods did not detect significant expression of monocyte or T-cell markers. In conclusion, SSEA-4+ cells in rabbit blood and bone marrow are of hematopoietic origin and probably belong to B-lineage cells as possessing the phenotype of B lymphocytes. However, the true function of SSEA-4 antigen in these cells should be explored by further studies.

Phenotypical Characterization and Neurogenic Differentiation of Rabbit Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Genes (Basel) 2021; 12:genes12030431.

Abstract
Although the rabbit is a frequently used biological model, the phenotype of rabbit adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rAT-MSCs) is not well characterized. One of the reasons is the absence of specific anti-rabbit antibodies. The study aimed to characterize rAT-MSCs using flow cytometry and PCR methods, especially digital droplet PCR, which confirmed the expression of selected markers at the mRNA level. A combination of these methods validated the expression of MSCs markers (CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90 and CD105). In addition, cells were also positive for CD49f, vimentin, desmin, α-SMA, ALDH and also for the pluripotent markers: NANOG, OCT4 and SOX2. Moreover, the present study proved the ability of rAT-MSCs to differentiate into a neurogenic lineage based on the confirmed expression of neuronal markers ENO2 and MAP2. Obtained results suggest that rAT-MSCs have, despite the slight differences in marker expression, the similar phenotype as human AT-MSCs and possess the neurodifferentiation ability. Accordingly, rAT-MSCs should be subjected to further studies with potential application in veterinary medicine but also, in case of their cryopreservation, as a source of genetic information of endangered species stored in the gene bank.

Abstract
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been broadly studied for several years due to their outstanding regenerative potential. Moreover, these cells might be a valuable source of genetic information for the preservation of endangered animal species. However, a controversy regarding their characterization still exists. The aim of this study was to isolate and compare the rabbit peripheral blood- and bone marrow-derived EPCs with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in terms of their phenotype and morphology that could be affected by the passage number or cryopreservation as well as to assess their possible neuro-differentiation potential. Briefly, cells were isolated and cultured under standard endothelial conditions until passage 3. The morphological changes during the culture were monitored and each passage was analyzed for the typical phenotype using flow cytometry, quantitative real–time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and novel digital droplet PCR (ddPCR), and compared to HUVECs. The neurogenic differentiation was induced using a commercial kit. Rabbit cells were also cryopreserved for at least 3 months and then analyzed after thawing. According to the obtained results, both rabbit EPCs exhibit a spindle-shaped morphology and high proliferation rate. The both cell lines possess same stable phenotype: CD14−CD29+CD31−CD34−CD44+CD45−CD49f+CD73+CD90+CD105+CD133−CD146−CD166+VE-cadherin+VEGFR-2+SSEA-4+MSCA-1−vWF+eNOS+AcLDL+ALDH+vimentin+desmin+α-SMA+, slightly different from HUVECs. Moreover, both induced rabbit EPCs exhibit neuron-like morphological changes and expression of neuronal markers ENO2 and MAP2. In addition, cryopreserved rabbit cells maintained high viability (>85%) and endothelial phenotype after thawing. In conclusion, our findings suggest that cells expanded from the rabbit peripheral blood and bone marrow are of the endothelial origin with a stable marker expression and interesting proliferation and differentiation capacity.

Abstract
Rabbit mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs) are promising agents for the preservation of genetic biodiversity in domestic rabbit breeds. However, rMSCs must meet certain requirements to be used for cryopreservation in animal gene banks. Currently, there are numerous discrepancies in the published data regarding the rMSC phenotype, which may complicate efforts to evaluate their purity and suitability for reuse after cryopreservation in gene and tissue banks. We propose a combined approach (flow cytometry, PCR, differentiation and ultrastructure studies) for the characterization and recovery of rMSCs after cryopreservation. Flow cytometric analyses of rMSCs confirmed the expression of CD29, CD44, vimentin, desmin and α-SMA. RT-PCR revealed the expression of other markers at the mRNA level (SSEA-4, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD146 and CD166). rMSCs showed efficient multilineage differentiation into adipo-, chondro- and osteogenic lineages, SOX2 expression (pluripotency) and typical MSC morphology and ultrastructure. The confirmed rMSCs were subsequently used for cryopreservation. Efficient recovery of rMSCs after cryogenic freezing was demonstrated by high cell viability, normal ultrastructure of reseeded rMSCs, high expression of CD29 and CD44 and lineage differentiation capacity. The proposed combined approach could be used for characterization, cryopreservation and recovery of rMSCs as genetic resources for native rabbit breeds.
