Abstract
Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) can be considered an accessible therapeutic tool for regenerative medicine. Here, we compared the growth kinetics, immunophenotypic and immunomodulatory properties, gene expression and secretome profile of MSCs derived from human adult bone marrow (BM-MSCs), adipose tissue (AT-MSCs) and Wharton’s jelly (WJ-MSCs) cultured in clinically-relevant conditions, with the focus on the neuroregenerative potential. All the cell types were positive for CD10/CD29/CD44/CD73/CD90/CD105/HLA-ABC and negative for CD14/CD45/CD235a/CD271/HLA-DR/VEGFR2 markers, but they differed in the expression of CD34/CD133/CD146/SSEA-4/MSCA-1/CD271/HLA-DR markers. BM-MSCs displayed the highest immunomodulatory activity compared to AT- and WJ-MSCs. On the other hand, BM-MSCs secreted the lower content and had the lower gene expression of neurotrophic growth factors compared to other cell lines, which may be caused by the higher sensitivity of BM-MSCs to nutrient limitations. Despite the differences in growth factor secretion, the MSC secretome derived from all cell sources had a pronounced neurotrophic potential to stimulate the neurite outgrowth of DRG-neurons and reduce the cell death of neural stem/progenitor cells after H2O2 treatment. Overall, our study provides important information for the transfer of basic MSC research towards clinical-grade manufacturing and therapeutic applications.

The Effect of Wharton Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and Their Conditioned Media in the Treatment of a Rat Spinal Cord Injury. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20184516. [PMID: 31547264 PMCID: PMC6770545 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20184516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2019] [Revised: 09/09/2019] [Accepted: 09/11/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The transplantation of Wharton’s jelly derived mesenchymal stromal cells (WJ-MSCs) possesses therapeutic potential for the treatment of a spinal cord injury (SCI). Generally, the main effect of MSCs is mediated by their paracrine potential. Therefore, application of WJ-MSC derived conditioned media (CM) is an acknowledged approach for how to bypass the limited survival of transplanted cells. In this study, we compared the effect of human WJ-MSCs and their CM in the treatment of SCI in rats. WJ-MSCs and their CM were intrathecally transplanted in the three consecutive weeks following the induction of a balloon compression lesion. Behavioral analyses were carried out up to 9 weeks after the SCI and revealed significant improvement after the treatment with WJ-MSCs and CM, compared to the saline control. Both WJ-MSCs and CM treatment resulted in a higher amount of spared gray and white matter and enhanced expression of genes related to axonal growth. However, only the CM treatment further improved axonal sprouting and reduced the number of reactive astrocytes in the lesion area. On the other hand, WJ-MSCs enhanced the expression of inflammatory and chemotactic markers in plasma, which indicates a systemic immunological response to xenogeneic cell transplantation. Our results confirmed that WJ-MSC derived CM offer an alternative to direct stem cell transplantation for the treatment of SCI.
