Yields of mesenchymal stromal cells from synovial fluid reflect those from synovium in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Tissue Cell 2022; 75:101727. [PMID: 34998163 DOI: 10.1016/j.tice.2021.101727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Revised: 12/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/31/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
The yield of primary synovial mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from synovium of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is highly variable, but cell transplantation therapy with autologous synovial MSCs requires accurate prediction of the synovial MSC yield per synovium weight. Here, we determined whether the yield of synovial fluid MSCs might predict the ultimate yield of primary MSCs from the synovium of RA knees. Synovial fluid and synovium were harvested during total knee arthroplasty from the knee joints of 10 patients with RA. Synovial fluid (1.5 mL) was diluted fourfold and plated equally into six 60 cm2 dishes. Nucleated cells from digested synovium were similarly plated at 1 × 104 cells in 6 dishes. All dishes were cultured for 14 days and analyzed for MSC yields and properties, including in vitro chondrogenesis. The cultured synovial cell number was correlated with the cultured synovial fluid cell number (n = 10, R2 = 0.64, p < 0.01). Synovial fluid cells formed cell colonies and showed MSC-like surface epitopes and multi-differentiation potential. However, the cartilage pellet weight indicated a greater chondrogenic potential of the synovial MSCs (n = 8). The primary MSC yields from synovial fluid and synovium were correlated, indicating that the synovial fluid MSC yield can predict the ultimate synovial MSC yield.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present review is focused on general aspects of the synovial membrane as well as specialized aspects of its cellular constituents, particularly the composition and location of synovial membrane mesenchymal stem cells (S-MSCs). S-MSC multipotency properties are currently at the center of translational medicine for the repair of multiple joint tissues, such as articular cartilage and meniscus lesions. METHODS AND RESULTS We reviewed the results of in vitro and in vivo research on the current clinical applications of S-MSCs, surface markers, cell culture techniques, regenerative properties, and immunomodulatory mechanisms of S-MSCs as well as the practical limitations of the last twenty-five years (1996 to 2021). CONCLUSIONS Despite the poor interest in the development of new clinical trials for the application of S-MSCs in joint tissue repair, we found evidence to support the clinical use of S-MSCs for cartilage repair. S-MSCs can be considered a valuable therapy for the treatment of repairing joint lesions.

Device-Based Enrichment of Knee Joint Synovial Cells to Drive MSC Chondrogenesis Without Prior Culture Expansion In Vitro: A Step Closer to 1-Stage Orthopaedic Procedures. Am J Sports Med 2022; 50:152-161. [PMID: 34779670 PMCID: PMC8739599 DOI: 10.1177/03635465211055164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Synovial fluid (SF) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are derived from the synovial membrane and have cartilage repair potential. Their current use in clinical practice is largely exploratory. As their numbers tend to be small, therapeutic procedures using MSCs typically require culture expansion. Previous reports indicate that the stem cell-mobilizing device (STEM device) intraoperatively increases SF-MSCs. PURPOSE This study evaluated the chondrogenic potential of non-culture expanded synovium-mobilized MSCs and SF-microfragments obtained after enrichment using the STEM device and ascertained if device-mediated synovial membrane manipulation facilitated ongoing MSC release. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Two samples of aspiration fluid were collected intraoperatively before and after STEM device utilization from patients (n = 16) undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic knee arthroscopy. Human knee synovium (n = 5) was collected during total knee replacement, and a suspended culture was performed to assess the effect of the STEM device on ongoing MSC release. Colony forming unit-fibroblastic assays were used to determine the number of MSCs. Additionally, cytometric characterization of stromal and immune cells and chondrogenesis differentiation assay were performed without culture expansion. Filtered platelet concentrates were prepared using the HemaTrate system. RESULTS After STEM device use, a significant increase was evident in SF-MSCs (P = .03) and synovial fluid-resident synovial tissue microfragments (P = .03). In vitro-suspended synovium released significantly more MSCs following STEM device use than nonstimulated synovium (P = .01). The STEM device-released total cellular fraction produced greater in vitro chondrogenesis with significantly more glycosaminoglycans (GAGs; P < .0001) when compared with non-STEM device synovial fluid material. Nonexpanded SF-MSCs and SF-microfragments combined with autologous filtered platelet concentrate produced significantly more GAGs than the complete chondrogenic media (P < .0001). The STEM device-mobilized cells contained more M2 macrophage cells and fewer M1 cells. CONCLUSION Non-culture expanded SF-MSCs and SF-microfragments had the potential to undergo chondrogenesis without culture expansion, which can be augmented using the STEM device with increased MSC release from manipulated synovium for several days. Although preliminary, these findings offer proof of concept toward manipulation of the knee joint environment to facilitate endogenous repair responses. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Although numbers were small, this study highlights 3 factors relevant to 1-stage joint repair using the STEM device: increased SF-MSCs and SF-microfragments and prolonged synovial release of MSCs. Joint repair strategies involving endogenous MSCs for cartilage repair without the need for culture expansion in a 1-stage procedure may be possible.

Optimal Pore Size of Honeycomb Polylactic Acid Films for In Vitro Cartilage Formation by Synovial Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Stem Cells Int 2021; 2021:9239728. [PMID: 34394358 PMCID: PMC8356005 DOI: 10.1155/2021/9239728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2021] [Revised: 06/24/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Tissue engineering of cartilage requires the selection of an appropriate artificial scaffold. Polylactic acid (PLA) honeycomb films are expected to be highly biodegradable and cell adhesive due to their high porosity. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal pore size of honeycomb PLA films for in vitro cartilage formation using synovial mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Methods Suspensions of human synovial MSCs were plated on PLA films with different pore sizes (no pores, or with 5 μm or 20 μm pores) and then observed by scanning electron microscopy. The numbers of cells remaining in the film and passing through the film were quantified. One day after plating, the medium was switched to chondrogenic induction medium, and the films were time-lapse imaged and observed histologically. Results The 5 μm pore film showed MSCs with pseudopodia that extended between several pores, while the 20 μm pore film showed MSC bodies submerged into the pores. The number of adhered MSCs was significantly lower for the film without pores, while the number of MSCs that passed through the film was significantly higher for the 20 μm pore film. MSCs that were induced to form cartilage peeled off as a sheet from the poreless film after one day. MSCs formed thicker cartilage at two weeks when growing on the 5 μm pore films than on the 20 μm pore films. Conclusions Honeycomb PLA films with 5 μm pores were suitable for in vitro cartilage formation by synovial MSCs.

Abstract
We studied a rabbit model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to examine the time course of changes in synovial neovascularization based on quantitative power Doppler ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Twenty-five male New Zealand rabbits were in the ovalbumin-induced arthritis (OIA) group, and 5 were in the control group. Both rear knee joints of all rabbits were examined using conventional US and CEUS over 16 weeks. The knee synoviums of OIA rabbits were sampled by US-guided biopsy, and expression of CD31 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was determined by immunohistochemistry. The correlation of joint damage based on multimodal US with microvessel density (CD31 positivity) and VEGF expression at different times was analyzed. OIA rabbits had increased synovial expression of CD31 and VEGF from weeks 6 to 12 (p < 0.01). During the early stage of CEUS enhancement, "dot enhancement" was more common at weeks 6 and 8, and "stripe enhancement" was more common at weeks 12 and 16 (p < 0.05). There were significant positive correlations of synovial CD31 and VEGF expression with power Doppler image grade, CEUS grade and peak intensity (p < 0.05 for all). Thus, OIA rabbits mimicked early-stage RA at 6 to 8 weeks, middle-stage RA at 8 to 12 weeks and late-stage RA at 12 to 16 weeks. Power Doppler image grade, CEUS grade and peak intensity, especially when combined with CD31 expression data, accurately characterized the extent of synovial vascularization in a rabbit model of RA. Increased vascularity based on CEUS may have value for the early diagnosis of RA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drugs that can induce mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) mobilization from synovium into synovial fluid will enable regenerative medicine in joints without use of exogenous MSCs. An in vitro synovial MSC migration model had previously been developed for screening but had problems in practical application. We herein developed a novel in vitro model, explored cytokines for synovial MSC mobilization with this model, and verified whether MSCs in synovial fluid increase following intra-articular injection of the cytokine. METHODS Human synovial MSCs embedded in a mixture of Matrigel and type 1 collagen hydrogel were placed on a culture insert and then put in medium containing migration factor. Of the six cytokines, we identified the one that mobilizes the highest number of MSCs. PDGF-BB or PBS was injected into rat knees, and 48 h later, synovial fluid was collected and cultured. The cells were examined for MSC properties. RESULTS PDGF-BB was the most effective for synovial MSC mobilization among six cytokines. The effect of PDGF-BB was inhibited by a PRGFR inhibitor. Injection of PDGF-BB into rat knees increased colony-forming cells in the synovial fluid. These cells had surface epitopes and multipotency comparable to MSCs and a higher capacity for proliferation, colony formation, and chondrogenesis. CONCLUSIONS This novel in vitro model recapitulated the migration of MSCs from synovium into synovial fluid. Our exploration of cytokines revealed that PDGF-BB strongly induced in vitro synovial MSC migration, while intra-articular injection of PDGF-BB increased in vivo MSC numbers in synovial fluid in rats.

Gene Expression Signatures of Synovial Fluid Multipotent Stromal Cells in Advanced Knee Osteoarthritis and Following Knee Joint Distraction. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2020; 8:579751.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal disorder. Although joint replacement remains the standard of care for knee OA patients, knee joint distraction (KJD), which works by temporarily off-loading the joint for 6–8 weeks, is becoming a novel joint-sparing alternative for younger OA sufferers. The biological mechanisms behind KJD structural improvements remain poorly understood but likely involve joint-resident regenerative cells including multipotent stromal cells (MSCs). In this study, we hypothesized that KJD leads to beneficial cartilage-anabolic and anti-catabolic changes in joint-resident MSCs and investigated gene expression profiles of synovial fluid (SF) MSCs following KJD as compared with baseline. To obtain further insights into the effects of local biomechanics on MSCs present in late OA joints, SF MSC gene expression was studied in a separate OA arthroplasty cohort and compared with subchondral bone (SB) MSCs from medial (more loaded) and lateral (less loaded) femoral condyles from the same joints. In OA arthroplasty cohort (n = 12 patients), SF MSCs expressed lower levels of ossification- and hypotrophy-related genes [bone sialoprotein (IBSP), parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2)] than did SB MSCs. Interestingly, SF MSCs expressed 5- to 50-fold higher levels of transcripts for classical extracellular matrix turnover molecules matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1), a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5 (ADAMTS5), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP3), all (p < 0.05) potentially indicating greater cartilage remodeling ability of OA SF MSCs, compared with SB MSCs. In KJD cohort (n = 9 patients), joint off-loading resulted in sustained, significant increase in SF MSC colonies’ sizes and densities and a notable transcript upregulation of key cartilage core protein aggrecan (ACAN) (weeks 3 and 6), as well as reduction in pro-inflammatory C–C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) expression (weeks 3 and 6). Additionally, early KJD changes (week 3) were marked by significant increases in MSC chondrogenic commitment markers gremlin 1 (GREM1) and growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5). In combination, our results reveal distinct transcriptomes on joint-resident MSCs from different biomechanical environments and show that 6-week joint off-loading leads to transcriptional changes in SF MSCs that may be beneficial for cartilage regeneration. Biomechanical factors should be certainly considered in the development of novel MSC-based therapies for OA.

Abstract
Background Synovial mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an attractive cell source for cartilage and meniscus regeneration. The optimum cryopreservation medium has not been determined, but dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) should be excluded, if possible, because of its toxicity. The purposes of our study were to examine the possible benefits of higher concentrations of serum and the effectiveness of 100% serum (without DMSO) for the cryopreservation of synovial MSCs. Methods Human synovium was harvested from the knees of four donors with osteoarthritis during total knee arthroplasty. Synovial MSCs (8 × 105 cells) were suspended in 400 μL medium and used as a Time 0 control. The same number of synovial MSCs was also suspended in 400 μL α-MEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (5% DMSO, and 1% antibiotic), 95% FBS (and 5% DMSO), or 100% FBS (no DMSO) and cryopreserved at − 80 °C for 7 days. After thawing, the cell suspensions (1.5 μL; 3 × 103 cells) were cultured in 60 cm2 dishes for 14 days for colony formation assays. Additional 62.5 μL samples of cell suspensions (1.25 × 105 cells) were added to tubes and cultured for 21 days for chondrogenesis assays. Results Colony numbers were significantly higher in the Time 0 and 95% FBS groups than in the 10% FBS group (n = 24). Colony numbers were much lower in the 100% FBS group than in the other three groups. The cell numbers per dish reflected the colony numbers. Cartilage pellet weights were significantly heavier in the 95% FBS group than in the 10% FBS group, whereas no difference was observed between the Time 0 and the 95% FBS groups (n = 24). No cartilage pellets formed at all in the 100% FBS group. Conclusion Synovial MSCs cryopreserved in 95% FBS with 5% DMSO maintained their colony formation and chondrogenic abilities to the same levels as observed in the cells before cryopreservation. Synovial MSCs cryopreserved in 100% FBS lost their colony formation and chondrogenic abilities.
