Early effects of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells on lung and kidney in experimental sepsis. Respir Physiol Neurobiol 2023; 309:103999. [PMID: 36460253 DOI: 10.1016/j.resp.2022.103999] [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: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In experimental sepsis, functional and morphological effects of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cell (BMDMC) administration in lung tissue have been evaluated 1 and 7 days after therapy. However, to date no study has evaluated the early effects of BMDMCs in both lung and kidney in experimental polymicrobial sepsis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-five female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the following groups: 1) cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis; and 2) Sham (surgical procedure without CLP). After 1 h, CLP animals received saline (NaCl 0.9%) (CLP-Saline) or 106 BMDMCs (CLP-Cell) via the jugular vein. At 6, 12, and 24 h after saline or BMDMC administration, lungs and kidneys were removed for histology and molecular biology analysis. RESULTS In lungs, CLP-Saline, compared to Sham, was associated with increased lung injury score (LIS) and keratinocyte chemoattractant (KC) mRNA expression at 6, 12, and 24 h. BMDMCs were associated with reduced LIS and KC mRNA expression regardless of the time point of analysis. Interleukin (IL)- 10 mRNA content was higher in CLP-Cell than CLP-Saline at 6 and 24 h. In kidney tissue, CLP-Saline, compared to Sham, was associated with tubular cell injury and increased neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels, which were reduced after BMDMC therapy at all time points. Surface high-mobility-group-box (HMGB)- 1 levels were higher in CLP-Saline than Sham at 6, 12, and 24 h, whereas nuclear HMGB-1 levels were increased only at 24 h. BMDMCs were associated with decreased surface HMGB-1 and increased nuclear HMGB-1 levels. Kidney injury molecule (KIM)- 1 and IL-18 gene expressions were reduced in CLP-Cell compared to CLP-Saline at 12 and 24 h. CONCLUSION In the present experimental polymicrobial sepsis, early intravenous therapy with BMDMCs was able to reduce lung and kidney damage in a time-dependent manner. BMDMCs thus represent a potential therapy in well-known scenarios of sepsis induction. PURPOSE To evaluate early bone marrow-derived mononuclear cell (BMDMC) therapy on lung and kidney in experimental polymicrobial sepsis. METHODS Twenty-five female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the following groups: cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis; and sham (surgical procedure without CLP). After 1 h, CLP animals received saline (CLP-saline) or 106 BMDMCs (CLP-cell) via the jugular vein. Lungs and kidneys were evaluated for histology and molecular biology after 6, 12, and 24 h. RESULTS In lungs, BMDMCs reduced the lung injury score and keratinocyte chemoattractant mRNA expression regardless of the time point of analysis; interleukin-10 mRNA content was higher in CLP-cell than CLP-saline at 6 and 24 h. In kidneys, BMDMCs reduced neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin levels at all time points. BMDMCs decreased surface high mobility group box (HMGB)- 1 but increased nuclear HMGB-1 levels. CONCLUSION Early BMDMC therapy reduced lung and kidney damage in a time-dependent manner.

Abstract
Respiratory and pulmonary diseases are among the leading causes of death globally. Despite tremendous advancements, there are no effective pharmacological therapies capable of curing diseases such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome), and COVID-19. Novel and innovative therapies such as advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are still in early development. However, they have exhibited significant potential preclinically and clinically. There are several longitudinal studies published, primarily focusing on the use of cell therapies for respiratory diseases due to their anti-inflammatory and reparative properties, thereby hinting that they have the capability of reducing mortality and improving the quality of life for patients. The primary objective of this paper is to set out a state of the art review on the use of aerosolized MSCs and their potential to treat these incurable diseases. This review will examine selected respiratory and pulmonary diseases, present an overview of the therapeutic potential of cell therapy and finally provide insight into potential routes of administration, with a focus on aerosol-mediated ATMP delivery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Survivors of sepsis are frequently left with significant cognitive and behavioral impairments. These complications derive from nonresolving inflammation that persists following hospital discharge. To date, no study has investigated the effects of mesenchymal stromal cell therapy on the blood-brain barrier, astrocyte activation, neuroinflammation, and cognitive and behavioral alterations in experimental sepsis. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, controlled experimental study. SETTING Government-affiliated research laboratory. SUBJECTS Male Swiss Webster mice (n = 309). INTERVENTIONS Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture; sham-operated animals were used as control. All animals received volume resuscitation (1 mL saline/mouse subcutaneously) and antibiotics (meropenem 10 mg/kg intraperitoneally at 6, 24, and 48 hours). Six hours after surgery, mice were treated with mesenchymal stromal cells IV (1 × 10 cells in 0.05 mL of saline/mouse) or saline (0.05 mL IV). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS At day 1, clinical score and plasma levels of inflammatory mediators were increased in cecal ligation and puncture mice. Mesenchymal stromal cells did not alter clinical score or survival rate, but reduced levels of systemic interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. At day 15, survivor mice completed a battery of cognitive and behavioral tasks. Cecal ligation and puncture mice exhibited spatial and aversive memory deficits and anxiety-like behavior. These effects may be related to increased blood-brain barrier permeability, with altered tight-junction messenger RNA expression, increased brain levels of inflammatory mediators, and astrogliosis (induced at day 3). Mesenchymal stromal cells mitigated these cognitive and behavioral alterations, as well as reduced blood-brain barrier dysfunction, astrocyte activation, and interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-10 levels in vivo. In cultured primary astrocytes stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, conditioned media from mesenchymal stromal cells reduced astrogliosis, interleukin-1β, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, suggesting a paracrine mechanism of action. CONCLUSIONS In mice who survived experimental sepsis, mesenchymal stromal cell therapy protected blood-brain barrier integrity, reduced astrogliosis and neuroinflammation, as well as improved cognition and behavior.

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Are More Effective Than Their Extracellular Vesicles at Reducing Lung Injury Regardless of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Etiology. Stem Cells Int 2019; 2019:8262849. [PMID: 31531026 PMCID: PMC6720722 DOI: 10.1155/2019/8262849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2019] [Revised: 07/01/2019] [Accepted: 07/21/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Although mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have demonstrated beneficial effects on experimental acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), preconditioning may be required to potentiate their therapeutic effects. Additionally, administration of cell-free products, such as extracellular vesicles (EVs) obtained from MSC-conditioned media, might be as effective as MSCs. In this study, we comparatively evaluated the effects of MSCs, preconditioned or not with serum collected from mice with pulmonary or extrapulmonary ARDS (ARDSp and ARDSexp, respectively), and the EVs derived from these cells on lung inflammation and remodeling in ARDSp and ARDSexp mice. Administration of MSCs (preconditioned or not), but not their EVs, reduced static lung elastance, interstitial edema, and collagen fiber content in both ARDSp and ARDSexp. Although MSCs and EVs reduced alveolar collapse and neutrophil cell counts in lung tissue, therapeutic responses were superior in mice receiving MSCs, regardless of preconditioning. Despite higher total cell, macrophage, and neutrophil counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in ARDSp than ARDSexp, MSCs and EVs (preconditioned or not) led to a similar decrease. In ARDSp, both MSCs and EVs, regardless of preconditioning, reduced levels of tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) α, interleukin-6, keratinocyte chemoattractant (KC), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and transforming growth factor- (TGF-) β in lung homogenates. In ARDSexp, TNF-α, interleukin-6, and KC levels were reduced by MSCs and EVs, preconditioned or not; only MSCs reduced VEGF levels, while TGF-β levels were similarly increased in ARDSexp treated either with saline, MSCs, or EVs, regardless of preconditioning. In conclusion, MSCs yielded greater overall improvement in ARDS in comparison to EVs derived from the same number of cells and regardless of the preconditioning status. However, the effects of MSCs and EVs differed according to ARDS etiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Mesenchymal stem cells-based therapies have shown promising effects in experimental acute respiratory distress syndrome. Different mesenchymal stem cells sources may result in diverse effects in respiratory diseases; however, there is no information regarding the best source of mesenchymal stem cells to treat pulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome. We tested the hypothesis that mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow, adipose tissue, and lung tissue would lead to different beneficial effects on lung and distal organ damage in experimental pulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome. DESIGN Animal study and primary cell culture. SETTING Laboratory investigation. SUBJECTS Seventy-five Wistar rats. INTERVENTIONS Wistar rats received saline (control) or Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (acute respiratory distress syndrome) intratracheally. On day 2, acute respiratory distress syndrome animals were further randomized to receive saline or bone marrow, adipose tissue, or lung tissue mesenchymal stem cells (1 × 10 cells) IV. Lung mechanics, histology, and protein levels of inflammatory mediators and growth factors were analyzed 5 days after mesenchymal stem cells administration. RAW 264.7 cells (a macrophage cell line) were incubated with lipopolysaccharide followed by coculture or not with bone marrow, adipose tissue, and lung tissue mesenchymal stem cells (10 cells/mL medium). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Regardless of mesenchymal stem cells source, cells administration improved lung function and reduced alveolar collapse, tissue cellularity, collagen, and elastic fiber content in lung tissue, as well as decreased apoptotic cell counts in liver. Bone marrow and adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells administration also reduced levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, keratinocyte-derived chemokine, transforming growth factor-β, and vascular endothelial growth factor, as well as apoptotic cell counts in lung and kidney, while increasing expression of keratinocyte growth factor in lung tissue. Additionally, mesenchymal stem cells differently modulated the secretion of biomarkers by macrophages depending on their source. CONCLUSIONS Mesenchymal stem cells from different sources led to variable responses in lungs and distal organs. Bone marrow and adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells yielded greater beneficial effects than lung tissue mesenchymal stem cells. These findings may be regarded as promising in clinical trials.

Correlations of IL-17 and NF-κB gene polymorphisms with susceptibility and prognosis in acute respiratory distress syndrome in a chinese population. Biosci Rep 2019; 39:BSR20181987. [PMID: 30655311 PMCID: PMC6367126 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20181987] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2018] [Revised: 01/01/2019] [Accepted: 01/13/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study was performed to investigate the association between interleukin-17 (IL-17) and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) gene polymorphisms and the risk and prognosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in a Chinese population. A total of 210 Chinese patients with ARDS were selected as the study group, 210 individuals who were identified as at-risk patients but did not meet criteria for ARDS were recruited as the control group. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IL-17, including rs763780 (A>G), rs2275913 (G>A), rs8193036 (C>T) and NF-κB1 gene rs3774934 (G>A) loci were examined by Sanger sequencing technique in the peripheral blood of all subjects. Patients were followed for 30-day survival. The IL-17 rs763780 and NF-κB1 rs3774934 SNPs had no impact on ARDS risk and prognosis of ARDS (P>0.05). Compared with individuals carrying the wild-type GG genotype of rs2275913 at IL-17, the AA-homozygous and GA- heterozygous individuals were protected from the development of ARDS. Consistently, a decreased 30-day mortality risk was found among A-allele carriers of rs2275913 at IL-17 (p<0.05). For IL-17 rs8193036 SNP, the homozygote TT genotype and heterozygote CT genotypes were associated with increased ARDS susceptibility and 30-day mortality risk (P<0.05). Besides, decreased IL-17 levels were found in A-allele carriers of IL-17 rs2275913, whereas individuals carrying T-allele of IL-17 rs8193036 were found to have significantly increased levels of IL-17 (P<0.05). Our results suggested that two functional polymorphisms of IL-17, rs2275913 and rs8193036 were associated with ARDS risk and prognosis, indicating that the two genetic variants might act as possible markers for the prediction of ARDS risk and development.

Abstract
Background This study was performed to gain insights into novel therapeutic approaches for acute systemic inflammation in heatstroke. Bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) secrete anti-inflammatory proteins and have protective effects against acute inflammation. Recent evidence suggested that transplantation of BMMNCs can reduce the acute tissue injury caused by regional myocardial reperfusion and the lung dysfunction induced by lipopolysaccharides. We evaluated whether BMMNCs attenuate systemic inflammatory response induced by severe heatstroke. Material and methods Anesthetized 12-week-old male Wistar rats were subjected to heat stress (41.8 °C for 30 min) with/without transplantation of BMMNCs. Bone marrow cells were harvested from the femur and tibia of other Wistar rats. BMMNCs were separated by density centrifugation, dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and injected intravenously immediately after heat stress (HS-BMMNCs group). The control group was administered an equal volume of PBS, and the sham group underwent the same procedure without heat stress. Results Seven-day survival improved significantly in the HS-BMMNCs group versus control group (83.3% vs 41.7%). Transplantation of BMMNCs significantly suppressed serum levels of pro-inflammatory mediators, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6 and histone H3 at 3, 6, and 12 h after heat stress. Besides, the elevation of serum syndecan-1, a main component of the vascular endothelial glycocalyx layer, in the BMMNCs group was significantly suppressed compared to that in the control group at 6 and 12 h after heat stress. Histological analysis revealed that edema of the alveolar septum and vascular endothelial injury in the lung were evident in the control group 6 h after heat stress, whereas the morphological alteration was ameliorated in the HS-BMMNCs group. Also, histological analysis using BMMNCs derived from green fluorescent protein transgenic rats showed that the transplanted BMMNCs migrated into lung, kidney, and spleen at 24 h after heat stress but did not engraft to host tissues. Conclusion Transplantation of BMMNCs attenuated acute systemic inflammation and vascular endothelial injury, reduced organ dysfunction, and improved survival in a rat heatstroke model. These findings provide a possible therapeutic strategy against critical heatstroke.

Abstract
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) improve survival and reduce organ failure in cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis; however, expanded EPCs may represent an even better approach for vascular repair. To date, no study has compared the effects of non-expanded EPCs (EPC-NEXP) with those of expanded EPCs (EPC-EXP) and mesenchymal stromal cells of human (MSC-HUMAN) and mouse (MSC-MICE) origin in experimental sepsis. One day after cecal ligation and puncture sepsis induction, BALB/c mice were randomized to receive saline, EPC-EXP, EPC-NEXP, MSC-HUMAN or MSC-MICE (1 × 105) intravenously. EPC-EXP, EPC-NEXP, MSC-HUMAN, and MSC-MICE displayed differences in phenotypic characterization. On days 1 and 3, cecal ligation and puncture mice showed decreased survival rate, and increased elastance, diffuse alveolar damage, and levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α, vascular endothelial growth factor, and platelet-derived growth factor in lung tissue. EPC-EXP and MSC-HUMAN had reduced elastance, diffuse alveolar damage, and platelet-derived growth factor compared to no-cell treatment. Tumor necrosis factor-α levels decreased in the EPC-EXP, MSC-HUMAN, and MSC-MICE groups. IL-1β levels decreased in the EPC-EXP group, while IL-10 decreased in the MSC-MICE. IL-6 levels decreased both in the EPC-EXP and MSC-MICE groups. Vascular endothelial growth factor levels were reduced regardless of therapy. In conclusion, EPC-EXP and MSC-HUMAN yielded better lung function and reduced histologic damage in septic mice.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe pulmonary reaction requiring hospitalization, which is incited by many causes, including bacterial and viral pneumonia as well as near drowning, aspiration of gastric contents, pancreatitis, intravenous drug use, and abdominal trauma. In humans, ARDS is very well defined by a list of clinical parameters. However, until recently no consensus was available regarding the criteria of ARDS that should be evident in an experimental animal model. This lack was rectified by a 2011 workshop report by the American Thoracic Society, which defined the main features proposed to delineate the presence of ARDS in laboratory animals. These should include histological changes in parenchymal tissue, altered integrity of the alveolar capillary barrier, inflammation, and abnormal pulmonary function. Murine ARDS models typically are defined by such features as pulmonary edema and leukocyte infiltration in cytological preparations of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and/or lung sections. Common pathophysiological indicators of ARDS in mice include impaired pulmonary gas exchange and histological evidence of inflammatory infiltrates into the lung. Thus, morphological endpoints remain a vital component of data sets assembled from animal ARDS models.

Abstract
MSCs have become an emerging cell source with their immune modulation, high proliferation rate, and differentiation potential; indeed, they have been challenged in clinical trials. Recently, it has shown that ROS play a dual role as both deleterious and beneficial species depending on their concentration in MSCs. Various environmental stresses-induced excessive production of ROS triggers cellular senescence and abnormal differentiation on MSCs. Moreover, MSCs have been suggested to participate in the treatment of ALI/ARDS and COPD as a major cause of high morbidity and mortality. Therapeutic mechanisms of MSCs in the treatment of ARDS/COPD were focused on cell engraftment and paracrine action. However, ROS-mediated therapeutic mechanisms of MSCs still remain largely unknown. Here, we review the key factors associated with cell cycle and chromatin remodeling to accelerate or delay the MSC aging process. In addition, the enhanced ROS production and its associated pathophysiological pathways will be discussed along with the MSC senescence process. Furthermore, the present review highlights how the excessive amount of ROS-mediated oxidative stress might interfere with homeostasis of lungs and residual lung cells in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS and COPD.

Mesenchymal stromal cell therapy attenuated lung and kidney injury but not brain damage in experimental cerebral malaria. Stem Cell Res Ther 2015; 6:102.

Abstract
Introduction Malaria is the most relevant parasitic disease worldwide, and still accounts for 1 million deaths each year. Since current antimalarial drugs are unable to prevent death in severe cases, new therapeutic strategies have been developed. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) confer host resistance against malaria; however, thus far, no study has evaluated the therapeutic effects of MSC therapy on brain and distal organ damage in experimental cerebral malaria. Methods Forty C57BL/6 mice were injected intraperitoneally with 5 × 106Plasmodium berghei-infected erythrocytes or saline. After 24 h, mice received saline or bone marrow (BM)-derived MSC (1x105) intravenously and were housed individually in metabolic cages. After 4 days, lung and kidney morphofunction; cerebrum, spleen, and liver histology; and markers associated with inflammation, fibrogenesis, and epithelial and endothelial cell damage in lung tissue were analyzed. Results In P. berghei-infected mice, BM-MSCs: 1) reduced parasitemia and mortality; 2) increased phagocytic neutrophil content in brain, even though BM-MSCs did not affect the inflammatory process; 3) decreased malaria pigment detection in spleen, liver, and kidney; 4) reduced hepatocyte derangement, with an increased number of Kupffer cells; 5) decreased kidney damage, without effecting significant changes in serum creatinine levels or urinary flow; and 6) reduced neutrophil infiltration, interstitial edema, number of myofibroblasts within interstitial tissue, and collagen deposition in lungs, resulting in decreased lung static elastance. These morphological and functional changes were not associated with changes in levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC, a mouse analog of interleukin-8), or interferon-γ, which remained increased and similar to those of P. berghei animals treated with saline. BM-MSCs increased hepatocyte growth factor but decreased VEGF in the P. berghei group. Conclusions BM-MSC treatment increased survival and reduced parasitemia and malaria pigment accumulation in spleen, liver, kidney, and lung, but not in brain. The two main organs associated with worse prognosis in malaria, lung and kidney, sustained less histological damage after BM-MSC therapy, with a more pronounced improvement in lung function.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is one of the devastating sequelae of sepsis, and so far no specific promising pharmacotherapies have been proven to decrease mortality from it. Stem cell therapy is a novel therapy that can promote earlier and more effective remodeling and repair of damaged lung tissue. Bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells are an alternative stem cell therapy that is safely and easily administered on the day of harvesting and yields benefits in acute disease processes like ARDS. In a recent issue of Stem Cell Research and Therapy, Maron-Gutierrez and colleagues demonstrated that the effects of transfused bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells on lung mechanics, inflammation and mortality might be different in different septic ARDS models due to different insults.
