Abstract
Several investigations are being done to increase the short lifetime of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). One of the crucial genes involved in the immortalization of MSCs, hTERT (human telomerase reverse transcriptase), is activated in most publications using viral-based techniques. In this work, we investigated the use of platelet-derived (PMPs) and B cell precursor leukemia-derived microparticles as a nonviral method to trigger and compare the expression of the hTERT gene in MSCs. MSCs were extracted from the umbilical cord for the current investigation and identified using a flow cytometry approach and an inverted microscope. The Nalm-6 cell line and platelet concentrate were used to isolate microparticles (MPs). MSCs and MPs were cocultured for 14 days at 25-, 50-, and 100 μg/ml concentrations. qRT-PCR was used to research the expression of the hTERT gene. SPSS 26.0's t test was used to compare the outcomes. After coculture with platelet MPs, MSCs had higher levels of hTERT gene expression than the control group. In contrast, this gene's expression was concurrently decreased in MSCs exposed to MPs generated from Nalm-6. We demonstrated that following 14-day treatment, PMP significantly boosted the hTERT gene expression in MSCs, while the Nalm-6 MPs lowered the gene expression. However, additional studies are necessary due to the stability of hTERT gene expression and the immortalization of MSCs following exposure.

Teshima T. Heterogeneity of mesenchymal stem cells as a limiting factor in their clinical application to inflammatory bowel disease in dogs and cats. Vet J 2024; 304:106090. [PMID: 38417670 DOI: 10.1016/j.tvjl.2024.106090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a major subtype of chronic enteropathies in dogs and cats. Conventional drugs such as immunomodulatory medicines as glucocorticoids and/or other anti-inflammatory are mainly applied for treatment. However, these drugs are not always effective to maintain remission from IBD and are limited by unacceptable side effects. Hence, more effective and safe therapeutic options need to be developed. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells with a self-renewal capacity, and have immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and tissue repair properties. Therefore, the application of MSCs as an alternative therapy for IBD has great potential in veterinary medicine. The efficacy of adipose tissue-derived MSC (ADSC) therapy for IBD in dogs and cats has been reported, including numerous studies in animal models. However, treatment outcomes in clinical trials of human IBD patients have not been consistent with preclinical studies. MSC-based therapy for various diseases has received widespread attention, but various problems in such therapy remain, among which no consensus has been reached on the preparation and treatment procedures for MSCs, and cellular heterogeneity of MSCs may be an issue. This review describes the current status of ADSC therapy for canine and feline IBD and summarizes the cellular heterogeneity of canine ADSCs, to highlight the necessity for further reduction or elimination of MSCs heterogeneity and standardization of MSC-based therapies.

Immortalized Canine Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Maintain the Immunomodulatory Capacity of the Original Primary Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:17484.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising cell source for stem cell therapy of intractable diseases in veterinary medicine, but donor-dependent cellular heterogeneity is an issue that influences therapeutic efficacy. Thus, we previously established immortalized cells that maintain the fundamental properties of primary cells, but functional evaluation had not been performed. Therefore, we evaluated the immunomodulatory capacity of the immortalized canine adipose-derived MSCs (cADSCs) in vitro and in vivo to investigate whether they maintain primary cell functions. C57BL/6J mice were treated with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) to induce colitis, injected intraperitoneally with immortalized or primary cADSCs on day 2 of DSS treatment, and observed for 10 days. Administration of immortalized cADSCs improved body weight loss and the disease activity index (DAI) in DSS-induced colitic mice by shifting peritoneal macrophage polarity from the M1 to M2 phenotype, suppressing T helper (Th) 1/Th17 cell responses and inducing regulatory T (Treg) cells. They also inhibited the proliferation of mouse and canine T cells in vitro. These immunomodulatory effects were comparable with primary cells. These results highlight the feasibility of our immortalized cADSCs as a cell source for stem cell therapy with stable therapeutic efficacy because they maintain the immunomodulatory capacity of primary cells.

Impact of Adipose Tissue Depot Harvesting Site on the Multilineage Induction Capacity of Male Rat Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells: An In Vitro Study. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24087513. [PMID: 37108673 PMCID: PMC10138771 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24087513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Recently, substantial attention has been paid toward adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) as a potential therapy in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. Rat AdMSCs (r-AdMSCs) are frequently utilized. However, the influence of the adipose depot site on the multilineage differentiation potential of the r-AdMSCs is still ambiguous. Hence, the main objective of this study was to explore the influence of the adipose tissue harvesting location on the ability of r-AdMSCs to express the stem-cell-related markers and pluripotency genes, as well as their differentiation capacity, for the first time. Herein, we have isolated r-AdMSCs from the inguinal, epididymal, peri-renal, and back subcutaneous fats. Cells were compared in terms of their phenotype, immunophenotype, and expression of pluripotency genes using RT-PCR. Additionally, we investigated their potential for multilineage (adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic) induction using special stains confirmed by the expression of the related genes using RT-qPCR. All cells could positively express stem cell marker CD 90 and CD 105 with no significant in-between differences. However, they did not express the hematopoietic markers as CD 34 and CD 45. All cells could be induced successfully. However, epididymal and inguinal cells presented the highest capacity for adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation (21.36-fold and 11.63-fold for OPN, 29.69-fold and 26.68-fold for BMP2, and 37.67-fold and 22.35-fold for BSP, respectively, in epididymal and inguinal cells (p < 0.0001)). On the contrary, the subcutaneous cells exhibited a superior potential for chondrogenesis over the other sites (8.9-fold for CHM1 and 5.93-fold for ACAN, (p < 0.0001)). In conclusion, the adipose tissue harvesting site could influence the differentiation capacity of the isolated AdMSCs. To enhance the results of their employment in various regenerative cell-based therapies, it is thus vital to take the collection site selection into consideration.
