Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) play an important role in the differential capacity for excess energy storage between upper body abdominal (ABD) adipose tissue (AT) and lower body gluteofemoral (GF) AT. We cultured ADSCs from subcutaneous ABD AT and GF AT isolated from eight women with differential body fat distribution and performed single-cell RNA sequencing. Six populations of ADSCs were identified and segregated according to their anatomical origin. The three ADSC subpopulations in GF AT were characterized by strong cholesterol/fatty acid (FA) storage and proliferation signatures. The two ABD subpopulations, differentiated by higher expression of committed preadipocyte marker genes, were set apart by differential expression of extracellular matrix and ribosomal genes. The last population, identified in both depots, was similar to smooth muscle cells and when individually isolated and cultured in vitro they differentiated less than the other subpopulations. This work provides important insight into the use of ADSC as an in vitro model of adipogenesis and suggests that specific subpopulations of GF-ADSCs contribute to the more robust capacity for GF-AT to expand and grow compared with ABD-AT in women.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Identification of distinct subpopulations of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in upper body abdominal subcutaneous (ABD) and lower body gluteofemoral subcutaneous (GF) adipose tissue depots. In ABD-ADSCs, subpopulations are more committed to adipocyte lineage. GF-ADSC subpopulations are enriched for genes involved in lipids and cholesterol metabolism. Similar depot differences were found in stem cell population identified in freshly isolated stoma vascular fraction. The repertoire of ADSCs subpopulations was different in apple-shaped versus pear-shaped women.

Abstract
Human adipose tissue-derived stem/stromal cells (hASCs) are adult multipotent mesenchymal stem/stromal cells with immunomodulatory capacities. Here, we present up-to-date knowledge on the impact of different experimental and donor-related factors on hASC immunoregulatory functions in vitro. The experimental determinants include the immunological status of hASCs relative to target immune cells, contact vs. contactless interaction, and oxygen tension. Factors such as the ratio of hASCs to immune cells, the cellular context, the immune cell activation status, and coculture duration are also discussed. Conditioning of hASCs with different approaches before interaction with immune cells, hASC culture in xenogenic or xenofree culture medium, hASC culture in two-dimension vs. three-dimension with biomaterials, and the hASC passage number are among the experimental parameters that greatly may impact the hASC immunosuppressive potential in vitro, thus, they are also considered. Moreover, the influence of donor-related characteristics such as age, sex, and health status on hASC immunomodulation in vitro is reviewed. By analysis of the literature studies, most of the indicated determinants have been investigated in broad non-standardized ranges, so the results are not univocal. Clear conclusions cannot be drawn for the fine-tuned scenarios of many important factors to set a standard hASC immunopotency assay. Such variability needs to be carefully considered in further standardized research. Importantly, field experts' opinions may help to make it clearer.

Abstract
Objectives Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disease that results from impaired insulin secreting pancreatic β-cells or insulin resistance. Although available medications help control the disease, patients suffer from its complications. Therefore, finding effective therapeutic approaches to treat DM is a priority. Adipose Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) based therapy is a promising strategy in various regenerative medicine applications, but its systematic translational use is still somewhat out of reach. This review is aimed at clarifying achievements as well as challenges facing the application of ADSCs for the treatment of DM, with a special focus on the mechanisms involved. Methods Literature searches were carried out on "Scopus", "PubMed" and "Google Scholar" up to September 2022 to find relevant articles in the English language for the scope of this review. Results Recent evidence showed a significant role of ADSC therapies in DM by ameliorating insulin resistance and hyperglycemia, regulating hepatic glucose metabolism, promoting β cell function and regeneration, and functioning as a gene delivery tool. In addition, ADSCs could improve diabetic wound healing by promoting collagen deposition, inhibiting inflammation, and enhancing angiogenesis. Conclusion Overall, this literature review revealed the great clinical implications of ADSCs for translating into the clinical setting for the treatment of diabetes. However, further large-scale and controlled studies are needed to overcome challenges and confirm the safety and optimal therapeutic scheme before daily clinical application.

Cell Tissue Bank 2022; 23:739-752. [PMID: 35066739 PMCID: PMC9675661 DOI: 10.1007/s10561-021-09973-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) have considerable potential in cell therapy. Cryopreservation represents the gold standard in cell storage, but its effect on hUC-MSCs is still not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of one year of cryopreservation and thawing on the biological characteristics of hUC-MSCs from the same donors. Fresh hUC-MSCs were cryopreserved in commercial freezing medium (serum-free CellBanker 2) at passage 2. After one year of cryopreservation, the hUC-MSCs were thawed and subcultured to passage 4. The comparison was performed in terms of followings: cell count, viability, morphology, proliferation capacity, differentiation potential and chromosomal stability. The total cell count and viability of hUC-MSCs before and after one year of cryopreservation were 1 × 107 and 96.34% and 0.943 × 107 and 93.81%, respectively. Cryopreserved and fresh hUC-MSCs displayed a similar cell doubling times, expressed the markers CD73, CD90, CD105 and were negative for the markers CD34, CD45, and HLA-DR. Karyotypes were found to be normal after one year of cryopreservation. The trilineage differentiation properties were maintained after cryopreservation. However, when compared to freshly isolated hUC-MSCs from the same donor, cryopreserved hUC-MSCs exhibited decreased expression of osteogenesis- and chondrogenesis-related genes including Runx2, Sox9, and Col1a1, and increased expression of adipogenesis-related genes. These results demonstrated that cryopreservation did not affect cell morphology, surface marker expression, cell viability, proliferative capacity, or chromosomal stability. However, the osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation capacities of cryopreserved hUC-MSCs were slightly reduced compared with those of fresh cells from the same donor.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell therapy has suffered from wide variability in clinical efficacy, largely due to heterogeneous starting cell populations and large-scale cell death during and after implantation. Optimizing the manufacturing process has led to reproducible cell populations that can be cryopreserved for clinical applications. Nevertheless, ensuring a reproducible cell state that persists after cryopreservation remains a significant challenge, and is necessary to ensure reproducible clinical outcomes. Here we demonstrate how matrix-conjugated hydrogel cell culture materials can normalize a population of induced pluripotent stem cell derived mesenchymal stem cells (iPSC-MSCs) to display a defined secretory profile that promotes enhanced neovascularization in vitro and in vivo. Using a protein-conjugated biomaterials screen we identified two conditions-1 kPa collagen and 10 kPa fibronectin coated polyacrylamide gels-that promote reproducible secretion of pro-angiogenic and immunomodulatory cytokines from iPSC-MSCs that enhance tubulogenesis of endothelial cells in Geltrex and neovascularization in chick chorioallantoic membranes. Using defined culture substrates alone, we demonstrate maintenance of secretory activity after cryopreservation for the first time. This advance provides a simple and scalable approach for cell engineering and subsequent manufacturing, toward normalizing and priming a desired cell activity for clinical regenerative medicine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix vascular component (SVF) gels derived from fat preserve tissue integrity and cell viability under cryopreserved conditions, making them easy to inject again for later use. Here, we compared the preservation power and regeneration potential of SVF-gel under different cryopreservation times. METHODS The SVF-gel stored under - 20 °C, without cryoprotectant cryopreservation for 5, 15, and 45 days, with fresh SVF-gel as control. We evaluated the rate of volume retention after thawing the SVF-gel and the apoptosis rate of adipose-derived stem cells. Next, we analyzed retention rated, adipogenesis, angiogenesis, and connective tissue hyperplasia of the grafts, one month after subcutaneously transplanting the specimen into immunodeficient mice. RESULTS SVF-gel cryopreserved for 5 and 15 days exhibited no significant different in apoptosis rates relative to the control group. Extending the cryopreservation time to 45 days resulted in significantly increased and decreased apoptosis and volume retention rates of SVF-gel, respectively. SVF-gel grafts cryopreserved for 5 and 15 days exhibited no significant differences from those in the control group, although their weights and volumes still fluctuated. Extending the cryopreservation time to 45 days resulted in significantly decreased retention rates of the grafts. Histologically, extending freezing time resulted in a gradual decline in the graft's health adipose tissue, as well as decreased angiogenesis, and connective tissue hyperplasia. CONCLUSION Simple freezing of SVF-gel at - 20 °C conferred them with sufficient cell viability. Notably, short-term cryopreservation did not significantly increase the apoptosis rate, and it still had a certain regeneration after transplantation. However, prolonging freezing time to 45 days resulted in increased apoptosis rate and worsened transplantation effect.

Abstract
![]()
Tissue engineering
involves the transplantation of stem cell-laden
hydrogels as synthetic constructs to replace damaged tissues. However,
their time-consuming fabrication procedures are hurdles to widespread
application in clinics. Fortunately, similar to cell banking, synthetic
tissues could be cryopreserved for subsequent central distribution.
Here, we report the use of trehalose and gellan gum as biomacromolecules
to form a cryopreservable yet directly implantable hydrogel system
for adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) delivery. Through a modified
cell encapsulation method and a preincubation step, adequate cryoprotection
was afforded at 0.75 M trehalose to the encapsulated ADSCs. At this
concentration, trehalose demonstrated lower propensity to induce apoptosis
than 10% DMSO, the current gold standard cryoprotectant. Moreover,
when cultured along with trehalose after thawing, the encapsulated
ADSCs retained their stem cell-like phenotype and osteogenic differentiation
capacity. Taken together, this study demonstrates the feasibility
of an “off-the-shelf” biomacromolecule-based synthetic
tissue to be applied in widespread tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Cellular damage is a key issue in the context of cryopreservation. Much of this damage is believed to be caused by extracellular ice formation at temperatures well above the homogeneous freezing point of pure water. Hence the question: what initiates ice nucleation during cryopreservation? In this paper, we assess whether cellular membranes could be responsible for facilitating the ice nucleation process, and what characteristics would make them good or bad ice nucleating agents. By means of molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate a number of phospholipids and lipopolysaccharide bilayers at the interface with supercooled liquid water. While these systems certainly appear to act as ice nucleating agents, it is likely that other impurities might also play a role in initiating extracellular ice nucleation. Furthermore, we elucidate the factors which affect a bilayer's ability to act as an ice nucleating agent; these are complex, with specific reference to both chemical and structural factors. These findings represent a first attempt to pinpoint the origin of extracellular ice nucleation, with important implications for the cryopreservation process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cryopreservation refers to the cooling of cells and tissues to sub-zero temperatures in order to stop all biologic activity and preserve them for future use. Human sperm cryopreservation is an important tool for assisted reproductive technology and male fertility preservation. However, cryopreservation significantly reduces the quality of spermatozoa. The antioxidant effects of curcumin on different cells have been widely reported. This study was aimed to evaluate changes in post-thaw viability, morphology, motility, chromatin condensation and DNA integrity in response to the addition of curcumin to human sperm freezing extender. MATERIALS AND METHODS Semen of 23 normozoospermic men was collected and each sample was divided into three equal aliquots: Control, DMSO, Curcumin. The samples were analyzed freshly for viability (Eosin Y), morphology (Diff-Quick), motility (following WHO standarts), sperm chromatin packaging (aniline blue) and DNA integrity (acridine orange). The control group remained untreated and was mixed with cryopreservation medium (in-house 1:1). The DMSO group was mixed with cryopreservation medium containing 0.1% DMSO. The curcumin group was mixed with cryopreservation medium containing 10 µM curcumin. Samples stained with Diff-Quick and aniline blue were examined under light microscope, samples stained with Eosin Y were examined under phase-contrast microscope and samples stained with acridine orange were examined under fluorescence microscope. Ten days after cryopreservation, samples were thawed and pre-freeze analyses repeated. RESULTS Obtained results showed that cryopreservation significantly (P < 0.001) reduces sperm parameters. In Curcumin group, progressive motility, sperm chromatin condensation and DNA integrity significantly (P < 0.001) increased after the thawing process, as compared with the control and the DMSO group. CONCLUSION These results suggest that the addition of curcumin to cryopreservation medium improves post-thaw progressive motility, sperm chromatin condensation and DNA integrity. It seems that curcumin ameliorates detrimental effects of cryopreservation on human spermatozoa. Further research is needed on the use of curcumin and other antioxidant substances in sperm cryopreservation.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) currently constitute the most frequently used cell type in advanced therapies with different purposes, most of which are related with inflammatory processes. Although the therapeutic efficacy of these cells has been clearly demonstrated in different disease animal models and in numerous human phase I/II clinical trials, only very few phase III trials using MSCs have demonstrated the expected potential therapeutic benefit. On the other hand, diverse controversial issues on the biology and clinical applications of MSCs, including their specific phenotype, the requirement of an inflammatory environment to induce immunosuppression, the relevance of the cell dose and their administration schedule, the cell delivery route (intravascular/systemic vs. local cell delivery), and the selected cell product (i.e., use of autologous vs. allogeneic MSCs, freshly cultured vs. frozen and thawed MSCs, MSCs vs. MSC-derived extracellular vesicles, etc.) persist. In the current review article, we have addressed these issues with special emphasis in the new approaches to improve the properties and functional capabilities of MSCs after distinct cell bioengineering strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Successful cell cryopreservation and banking remain a major challenge for the manufacture of cell therapy products, particularly in relation to providing a hermetic, sterile cryovial that ensures optimal viability and stability post-thaw while minimizing exposure to toxic cryoprotective agents, typically dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO). METHODS In the present study, the authors evaluated the effectiveness and functionality of Limbo technology (Cellulis S.L., Santoña, Spain). This system provides a hermetic vial with two compartments (one for adding cells with the cryoprotective agent solution and the other for the diluent solution) and an automated defrosting device. Limbo technology (Cellulis S.L.) allows reduction of the final amount of Me2SO, sidestepping washing and dilution steps and favoring standardization. The study was performed in several Good Manufacturing Practice laboratories manufacturing diverse cell therapy products (human mesenchymal stromal cells, hematopoietic progenitor cells, leukapheresis products, fibroblasts and induced pluripotent stem cells). Laboratories compared Limbo technology (Cellulis S.L.) with their standard cryopreservation procedure, analyzing cell recovery, viability, phenotype and functionality. RESULTS Limbo technology (Cellulis S.L.) maintained the viability and functionality of most of the cell products and preserved sterility while reducing the final concentration of Me2SO. CONCLUSIONS Results showed that use of Limbo technology (Cellulis S.L.) offers an overall safe alternative for cell banking and direct infusion of cryopreserved cell products into patients.

[PMID: 33397467 PMCID: PMC7781178 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-020-02006-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 149] [Impact Index Per Article: 49.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2020] [Accepted: 11/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have raised big interest in therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine and appear to fulfill the criteria for a successful cell therapy. Their low immunogenicity and their ability to self-renew, to differentiate into different tissue-specific progenitors, to migrate into damaged sites, and to act through autocrine and paracrine pathways have been altogether testified as the main mechanisms whereby cell repair and regeneration occur. The absence of standardization protocols in cell management within laboratories or facilities added to the new technologies improved at patient's bedside and the discrepancies in cell outcomes and engraftment increase the limitations on their widespread use by balancing their real benefit versus the patient safety and security. Also, comparisons across pooled patients are particularly difficult in the fact that multiple medical devices are used and there is absence of harmonized assessment assays despite meeting regulations agencies and efficient GMP protocols. Moreover, the emergence of the COVID-19 breakdown added to the complexity of implementing standardization. Cell- and tissue-based therapies are completely dependent on the biological manifestations and parameters associated to and induced by this virus where the scope is still unknown. The initial flow chart identified for stem cell therapies should be reformulated and updated to overcome patient infection and avoid significant variability, thus enabling more patient safety and therapeutic efficiency. The aim of this work is to highlight the major guidelines and differences in ADSC processing meeting the current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) and the cellular therapy-related policies. Specific insights on standardization of ADSCs proceeding at different check points are also presented as a setup for the cord blood and bone marrow.

The combination of trehalose and glycerol: an effective and non-toxic recipe for cryopreservation of human adipose-derived stem cells. Stem Cell Res Ther 2020; 11:460.

Abstract
Background Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) promote tissue regeneration and repair. Cryoprotective agents (CPAs) protect cells from cryodamage during cryopreservation. Safe and efficient cryopreservation of ADSCs is critical for cell-based therapy in clinical applications. However, most CPAs are used at toxic concentrations, limiting their clinical application. Objective The aim of this study is to develop a non-toxic xeno-free novel CPA aiming at achieving high-efficiency and low-risk ADSC cryopreservation. Methods We explored different concentrations of trehalose (0.3 M, 0.6 M, 1.0 M, and 1.25 M) and glycerol (10%, 20%, and 30% v/v) for optimization and evaluated and compared the outcomes of ADSCs cryopreservation between a combination of trehalose and glycerol and the commonly used CPA DMSO (10%) + FBS (90%). All samples were slowly frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen for 30 days. The effectiveness was evaluated by the viability, proliferation, migration, and multi-potential differentiation of the ADSCs after thawing. Results Compared with the groups treated with individual reagents, the 1.0 M trehalose (Tre) + 20% glycerol (Gly) group showed significantly higher efficiency in preserving ADSC activities after thawing, with better outcomes in both cell viability and proliferation capacity. Compared with the 10% DMSO + 90% FBS treatment, the ADSCs preserved in 1.0 M Tre + 20% Gly showed similar cell viability, surface markers, and multi-potential differentiation but a significantly higher migration capability. The results indicated that cell function preservation can be improved by 1.0 M Tre + 20% Gly. Conclusions The 1.0 M Tre + 20% Gly treatment preserved ADSCs with a higher migration capability than 10% DMSO + 90% FBS and with viability higher than that with trehalose or glycerol alone but similar to that with 10% DMSO + 90% FBS and fresh cells. Moreover, the new CPA achieves stemness and multi-potential differentiation similar to those in fresh cells. Our results demonstrate that 1.0 M Tre + 20% Gly can more efficiently cryopreserve ADSCs and is a non-toxic CPA that may be suitable for clinical applications.

Abstract
There is enormous global anticipation for stem cell-based therapies that are safe and effective. Numerous pre-clinical studies present encouraging results on the therapeutic potential of different cell types including tissue derived stem cells. Emerging evidences in different fields of research suggest several cell types are safe, whereas their therapeutic application and effectiveness remain challenged. Multiple factors that influence treatment outcomes are proposed including immunocompatibility and potency, owing to variations in tissue origin, ex-vivo methodologies for preparation and handling of the cells. This communication gives an overview of literature data on the different types of cells that are potentially promising for regenerative therapy. As a case in point, the recent trends in research and development of the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for cell therapy are considered in detail. MSCs can be isolated from a variety of tissues and organs in the human body including bone marrow, adipose, synovium, and perinatal tissues. However, MSC products from the different tissue sources exhibit unique or varied levels of regenerative abilities. The review finally focuses on adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ASCs), with the unique properties such as easier accessibility and abundance, excellent proliferation and differentiation capacities, low immunogenicity, immunomodulatory and many other trophic properties. The suitability and application of the ASCs, and strategies to improve the innate regenerative capacities of stem cells in general are highlighted among others.

Abstract
Cryopreservation is a method used for preserving living cells by cooling them to very low temperatures. Although cryopreservation methods for oocytes and embryos have been developed for use in reproductive medicine, there are no established methods yet for preserving cell aggregates (spheroids) in regenerative medicine. We have developed a bio-three-dimensional (3D) printer that can fabricate scaffold-free 3D constructs by loading spheroids onto a needle array. We fabricated several constructs such as blood vessels, liver, diaphragm, and a conduit for nerves by using this method. These constructs have the potential to be applied in patients. However, the process of fabricating tissue constructs (harvesting cells, expanding cells, making spheroids using cultured cells, printing constructs, and maturing constructs) is time-consuming. Therefore, cryopreservation methods for spheroids or constructs should be developed to increase the efficiency of this method for clinical use. Here, we developed a method for cryopreserving spheroids, which were then used to fabricate constructs. Fibroblast cell-based spheroids were cryopreserved in phosphate-buffered saline or cryopreservation solution at −80°C for 1 week. After thawing, spheroids in cryopreservation solution began to fuse on day 1. Cryopreserved spheroids were printed onto a needle array to fabricate a scaffold-free tubular construct using a bio-3D printer. After 7 days, the printed spheroids fused and formed scaffold-free constructs. We confirmed the viability of cells in the cryopreserved spheroids and fabricated tubular constructs. Our results indicate that spheroids can be cryopreserved and used to prepare scaffold-free constructs for clinical use.

Abstract
Testicular cell suspension (TCS) can be cryopreserved for male germ-line preservation and fertility restoration. We aimed to validate a cryopreservation protocol for TCS of domestic cat to be applied in endangered felids species. Testis tissue from adult domestic cats was enzymatically dissociated and spermatogenic cells were enriched. The resulting TCS was diluted in 7.5% or 15% Me2SO based medium. Slow and fast freezing methods were tested. We examined the effects of freezing approaches using two combinations of fluorescent dyes: Calcein-AM with Propidium iodide (C/PI) and SYBR14 with Propidium iodide (S/PI). Ploidy analysis of domestic cat fresh TCS revealed that the majority of testicular cells were haploid cells. Based on microscopic observation, two size populations (12.3 ± 2.3 μm and 20.5 ± 4 μm in diameter) were identified and presumed to be mainly spermatids and spermatocytes, respectively. Both evaluation methods proved higher viability of aggregated cells before and after cryopreservation compared with single cells, and superiority of low concentration of Me2SO (7.5%) in association with slow freezing to preserve viability of testicular cells. However, S/PI resulted in a more precise evaluation compared with the C/PI method. The combination of 7.5% Me2SO-based medium with slow freezing yielded post thaw viability of S/PI labeled aggregated (49.8 ± 20%) and single cells (31.5 ± 8.1%). Comparable results were achieved using testes of a Cheetah and an Asiatic golden cat. In conclusion, TCS from domestic cat can be successfully cryopreserved and has the potential to support fertility restoration of endangered felids species.

Abstract
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is the cryoprotectant of choice for most animal cell systems since the early history of cryopreservation. It has been used for decades in many thousands of cell transplants. These treatments would not have taken place without suitable sources of DMSO that enabled stable and safe storage of bone marrow and blood cells until needed for transfusion. Nevertheless, its effects on cell biology and apparent toxicity in patients have been an ongoing topic of debate, driving the search for less cytotoxic cryoprotectants. This review seeks to place the toxicity of DMSO in context of its effectiveness. It will also consider means of reducing its toxic effects, the alternatives to its use and their readiness for active use in clinical settings.

Abstract
Multipotent adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) are candidates for use in cellular therapies for the treatment of a variety of conditions/diseases. Ex vivo expansion of freshly isolated ASCs may be necessary prior to clinical application to ensure that clinically relevant cell numbers are administered during treatment. In addition, cryopreserving cells at early passages allows for storage of freshly isolated cells for extended periods of time before expanding these cells for clinical usage. There are however several concerns that these laboratory-based procedures may alter the characteristics of the cells and in so doing decrease their regenerative potential. In this study we report on the impact of early rounds of cryopreservation (P0) and ex vivo expansion (P0 to P5) on the phenotypic characteristics and adipogenic differentiation potential of ASCs. Our results show that ASCs that upregulate CD36 expression during adipogenic differentiation gradually decrease with increasing expansion rounds. The consequent decrease in adipogenic differentiation capacity was evident in both gene expression and flow cytometry-based phenotypic studies. Successive rounds of expansion did not however alter cell surface marker expression of the cells. We also show that early cryopreservation of ASCs (at P0) does not affect the adipogenic differentiation potential of the cells.

Abstract
Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) have an important contribution in regenerative medicine ranging from testing stem cell therapy for disease treatment in pre-clinical models to clinical trials. For immediate use of stem cells for therapy, there is a requirement of the high dose of stem cells at different time points which can be met by cryopreservation. In this study, we evaluated the characteristics of long-term cryopreserved ADSCs and their regenerative potential after an average of twelve-year cryopreservation. Revived ADSCs were examined for cell viability and proliferation by trypan blue, Calcein/Hoechst and MTT assay. Expression of stem cell markers was examined by flow cytometry, immunostaining and qPCR. Colony forming efficiency and spheroid formation ability were also assessed. Multilineage differentiation potential was evaluated by induction into osteocytes, adipocytes, neural cells, corneal keratocytes and trabecular meshwork (TM) cells. Post-thaw, ADSCs maintained expression of stem cell markers CD90, CD73, CD105, CD166, NOTCH1, STRO-1, ABCG2, OCT4, KLF4. ADSCs retained colony and spheroid forming potential. These cells were able to differentiate into osteocytes, confirmed by Alizarin Red S staining and elevated expression of osteocalcin and osteopontin; into adipocytes by Oil Red O staining and elevated expression of PPARγ2. ADSCs could differentiate into neural cells, stained positive to β-III tubulin, neurofilament, GFAP as well as elevated expression of nestin and neurofilament mRNAs. ADSCs could also give rise to corneal keratocytes expressing keratocan, keratan sulfate, ALDH and collagen V, and to TM cells expressing CHI3L1 and AQP1. Differentiated TM cells responded to dexamethasone treatment with increased Myocilin expression, which could be used as in vitro glaucoma model for further studies. Conditioned medium from ADSCs was found to impart a regenerative effect on primary TM cells. In conclusion, ADSCs maintained their stemness and multipotency after long-term cryopreservation with variability between different donors. This study can have great repercussions in regenerative medicine and pave the way for future clinical trials using cryopreserved ADSCs.

Mechanical process prior to cryopreservation of lipoaspirates maintains extracellular matrix integrity and cell viability: evaluation of the retention and regenerative potential of cryopreserved fat-derived product after fat grafting. Stem Cell Res Ther 2019; 10:283. [PMID: 31547884 PMCID: PMC6755707 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-019-1395-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2019] [Revised: 08/12/2019] [Accepted: 08/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Cryopreservation of fat grafts facilitates reinjection for later use. However, low temperature and thawing can disrupt tissues and cause lipid leakage, which raises safety concerns. Here, we compared the cryopreservation potential of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) gel processed from lipoaspirate with that of fat. Methods Human SVF gel and fat were cryopreserved at − 20 °C without cryoprotectant for 1 month. Fresh SVF gel and fat were used as controls. Tissue viability, adipose-derived stem cell (ASC) function, and the extracellular content were evaluated. At 3 months after transplanting the specimens to immunocompromised mice subcutaneously, the grafts were examined for retention, tissue engraftment, and inflammatory levels. The regenerative effect of cryopreserved SVF gel was evaluated in a murine ischemic wound healing model. Results At 1 month, the cell death rate in the SVF gel group was 36 ± 2%. The survived ASCs not only could be isolated via explant culture but also preserved colony-forming and differentiation. However, prolonged cryopreservation exacerbated apoptosis. Assessment of recovered tissues showed that the morphology, cell viability, and extracellular protein enrichment were better in SVF gel-preserved tissues than in frozen fat. At 3 months after lipotransfer, the retention ability of 1-month cryopreserved fat was 41.1 ± 9% compared to that of 1-month cryopreserved SVF gel. Immunostaining results showed that adipose tissue regeneration and integrity in the 1-month cryopreserved SVF gel group were superior to those of the cryopreserved fat group. The cryopreserved SVF gel also accelerated healing of the ischemic wound, compared with cryopreserved fat. Conclusion Cryopreserved SVF gel maintained tissue integrity and cell viability and resulted in a better long-term retention rate than that of cryopreserved fat. Cryopreserved SVF gel also showed superior regenerative potential and improved ischemic wound healing.

Cryopreservation of Stromal Vascular Fraction Cells Reduces Their Counts but Not Their Stem Cell Potency. PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY-GLOBAL OPEN 2019; 7:e2321. [PMID: 31942351 PMCID: PMC6952153 DOI: 10.1097/gox.0000000000002321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2019] [Accepted: 05/01/2019] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells are derived from the nonfat component of adipose tissue termed the stromal vascular fraction (SVF). The use of freshly isolated autologous SVF cells as an alternative to adult stem cells is becoming more common. Repeated SVF administration for improved clinical outcomes is complicated by the need for repeated liposuction. This can be overcome by cryopreservation of SVF cells. The current study aimed to assess whether SVF cells retain their stem cell potency during cryopreservation. Methods SVF cells isolated from lipoaspirates (donor age: 46.1 ± 11.7 y; body mass index: 29.3 ± 4.8 kg/m2) were analyzed either immediately after isolation or following cryopreservation at -196°C. Analyses included assessment of nucleated cell counts by methylene blue staining, colony-forming unit fibroblast counts, surface marker expression using a flow cytometric panel (CD45, CD34, CD31, CD73, CD29, and CD105), expansion in culture, and differentiation to fat and bone. Results While cryopreservation reduced the number of viable SVF cells, stem cell potency was preserved, as demonstrated by no significant difference in the proliferation, surface marker expression in culture, bone and fat differentiation capacity, and the number of colony-forming unit fibroblasts in culture, in cryopreserved versus fresh SVF cells. Importantly, reduced cell counts of cryopreserved cells were due, mainly, to a reduction in hematopoietic CD45+ cells, which was accompanied by increased proportions of CD45-CD34+CD31- stem cell progenitor cells compared to fresh SVF cells. Conclusions Cryopreservation of SVF cells did not affect their in vitro stem cell potency and may therefore enable repeated SVF cell administrations, without the need for repeated liposuction.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is now on the top one of stem cell sources regarding its accessibility, abundance, and less painful collection procedure when compared to other sources. The adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) that it contains can be maintained and expanded in culture for long periods of time without losing their differentiation capacity, leading to large cell quantities being increasingly used in cell therapy purposes. Many reports showed that ADSCs-based cell therapy products demonstrated optimal efficacy and efficiency in some clinical indications for both autologous and allogeneic purposes, hence becoming considered as potential tools for replacing, repairing, and regenerating dead or damaged cells. In this review, we analyzed the therapeutic advancement of ADSCs in comparison to bone marrow (BM) and umbilical cord (UC)-mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and designed the specific requirements to their best clinical practices and safety. Our analysis was focused on the ADSCs, rather than the whole stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cell populations, to facilitate characterization that is related to their source of origins. Clinical outcomes improvement suggested that these cells hold great promise in stem cell-based therapies in neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and auto-immunes diseases.

Abstract
Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-ATs) are representative cell sources for cell therapy. However, how cell stress resulting from passage influences the MSC-AT protein expression has been unclear. In this study, a protein expression analysis was performed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) using mouse primary cultured cells (P0) and cells passaged three times (P3) as samples. A total of 256 proteins were classified as cellular process-related proteins, while 179 were classified as metabolic process-related proteins in P0. These were considered to be adaptive responses of the cells to an in vitro environment. However, seven proteins of growth were identified (Csf1, App, Adam15, Alcam, Tbl1xr1, Ninj1, and Sbds) in P0. In addition, four proteins of antioxidant activity were also identified (Srxn1, Txndc17, Fam213b, and Apoe) in P0. We identified 1139 proteins expressed in both P0 and P3 cells that had their expression decreased to 69.4% in P3 cells compared with P0 cells, but 1139 proteins are very likely proteins that are derived from MSC-AT. The function of MSC-ATs was maintained after three passages. However, the LC-MS/MS analysis data showed that the protein expression was degraded after three passages. MSC-ATs retained about 70% of their protein expression ability in P3 cells.

Abstract
Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are a treatment cell source for patients with chronic liver injury. ADSCs are characterized by being harvested from the patient's own subcutaneous adipose tissue, a high cell yield (i.e., reduced immune rejection response), accumulation at a disease nidus, suppression of excessive immune response, production of various growth factors and cytokines, angiogenic effects, anti-apoptotic effects, and control of immune cells via cell-cell interaction. We previously showed that conditioned medium of ADSCs promoted hepatocyte proliferation and improved the liver function in a mouse model of acute liver failure. Furthermore, as found by many other groups, the administration of ADSCs improved liver tissue fibrosis in a mouse model of liver cirrhosis. A comprehensive protein expression analysis by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry showed that the various cytokines and chemokines produced by ADSCs promote the healing of liver disease. In this review, we examine the ability of expressed protein components of ADSCs to promote healing in cell therapy for liver disease. Previous studies demonstrated that ADSCs are a treatment cell source for patients with chronic liver injury. This review describes the various cytokines and chemokines produced by ADSCs that promote the healing of liver disease.

Abstract
Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) have become a common cell source for cell transplantation therapy. Clinical studies have used ADSCs to develop treatments for tissue fibrosis, such as liver cirrhosis and pulmonary fibroma. The need to examine and compare basic research data using clinical research data derived from mice and humans is expected to increase in the future. Here, to better characterize the cells, the protein components expressed by human ADSCs used for treatment, and mouse ADSCs used for research, were comprehensively analyzed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. We found that 92% (401 type proteins) of the proteins expressed by ADSCs in humans and mice were consistent. When classified by the protein functions in a gene ontology analysis, the items that differed by >5% between human and mouse ADSCs were "biological adhesion, locomotion" in biological processes, "plasma membrane" in cellular components, and "antioxidant activity, molecular transducer activity" in molecular functions. Most of the listed proteins were sensitive to cell isolation processes. These results show that the proteins expressed by human and murine ADSCs showed a high degree of correlation.

Abstract
The development of an ex vivo regional gene therapy clinical pathway using adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) may require cryopreservation for cell culture, storage, and transport prior to clinical use. ASCs isolated from five donors were transduced with a lentiviral vector containing BMP-2. Three groups were assessed: transduction without cell freezing (group 1), freezing of cells for 3 weeks followed by transduction (group 2), and cell transduction prior to freezing (group 3). Nontransduced cells were used as a control. The cluster of differentiation (CD) marker profiles, cell number, BMP-2 production, and osteogenic potential were measured. The CD marker profile (CD44, CD73, CD90, and CD105) was unchanged after cryopreservation. Cell number was equivalent among cryopreservation protocols in transduced and nontransduced cells. There was a trend toward decreased BMP-2 production in group 3 compared to groups 1 and 2. Osteogenic potential based on Alizarin red concentration was higher in group 2 compared to group 3, with no difference compared to group 1. Freezing ASCs prior to transduction with a lentiviral vector containing BMP-2 has no detrimental effect on cell number, BMP-2 production, osteogenic potential, or immunophenotype. Transduction prior to freezing, however, may limit the BMP-2 production and potential osteogenic differentiation of the ASCs.

Abstract
Preservation of adipose tissue before the isolation of cells is one of the most important steps in maintaining the cell viability of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) for clinical use. Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) is one of the main ADSC preservation solutions used clinically. However, this step is known to lead to decreased cell viability. The University of Wisconsin (UW) solution is recognized by transplant physicians as an excellent organ preservation solution. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of UW solution in preservation of the viability of ADSCs. We collected adipose tissue from the inguinal fat pad of mice and compared preservation in UW solution and HBSS overnight by measuring cell viability after isolation. We found that the number of viable cells harvested per gram of adipose tissue mass was higher in UW solution- than HBSS-preserved tissue.

Abstract
Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs) are representative cell sources for cell therapy. Classically, Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) has been used as culture medium for hADSCs. A chemically defined medium (CDM) containing no heterologous animal components has recently been used to produce therapeutic hADSCs. However, how the culture environment using a medium without FBS affects the protein expression of hADSC is unclear. We subjected hADSCs cultured in CDM and DMEM (10% FBS) to a protein expression analysis by tandem mass spectrometry liquid chromatography and noted 98.2% agreement in the proteins expressed by the CDM and DMEM groups. We classified 761 proteins expressed in both groups by their function in a gene ontology analysis. Thirty-one groups of proteins were classified as growth-related proteins in the CDM and DMEM groups, 16 were classified as antioxidant activity-related, 147 were classified as immune system process-related, 557 were involved in biological regulation, 493 were classified as metabolic process-related, and 407 were classified as related to stimulus responses. These results show that the trend in the expression of major proteins related to the therapeutic effect of hADSCs correlated strongly in both groups.

Standardization and quality assessment for clinical grade mesenchymal stem cells from human adipose tissue. Hematol Transfus Cell Ther 2018; 41:7-16. [PMID: 30793099 PMCID: PMC6371406 DOI: 10.1016/j.htct.2018.05.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2017] [Accepted: 05/02/2018] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Mesenchymal stem cells have immense potential in stem cell-based therapies, however there is a pre-requisite to develop a curative cell dose. Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells are promising mainly due to their potential abundance, immunomodulatory effect and remarkable differentiation potential. Nevertheless, senescence may develop during their in vitro expansion due to the incidence of genetic instability. Hence, it is important to attain an ideal balance between mesenchymal stem cell growth, quality and genetic integrity before their clinical use. Methods Stromal vascular fraction was obtained from omentum tissue of patients undergoing liposuction procedures for morbid obesity. This study standardized a closed system protocol which can be utilized for clinical grade stem cell derivation. Stages of cell growth and characterization of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells were also assessed along with the chromosomal stability in these in vitro cultures. Results Human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells maintained their spindle-shaped morphology and were able to proliferate and renew, confirming their suitability for in vitro cultivation and generate clinical grade mesenchymal stem cells. Immunophenotyping indicates that the cells expressed cluster of differentiation (CD)73/CD90/CD105, mesenchymal stem-cell markers, while lacked CD34/CD45/ Human Leukocyte antigen-antigen D related (HLA-DR) expression (hematopoietic cell markers). A cell cycle study demonstrated growth kinetics under in vitro culture conditions. Human adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells expressed normal cell karyotype by chromosomal G-banding indicating their genetic stability at Passage 5. Mesenchymal stem cells also demonstrated trilineage differentiation. Conclusions Availability of adipose tissue in abundance is a major advantage for clinical applications. Furthermore, detailed characterization of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells, their genomic stability and differentiation potential from stromal vascular fraction of human adipose tissue would help assist in tissue regeneration and repair.

Abstract
Although induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have significant implications for overcoming most of the ethical issues associated with embryonic stem cells, several issues related to the use of iPS cells in clinical applications remain unresolved, including the issue of teratoma formation. We previously reported that the induction of induced tissue-specific stem (iTS) cells from the pancreas (iTS-P) or liver (iTS-L) by the transient overexpression of reprogramming factors, combined with tissue-specific selection and the generation of iTS cells, could have important implications for the clinical application of stem cells. At the same time, we also generated "induced fibroblast-like (iF) cells" that were capable of self-renewal, which had a similar morphology to fibroblast cells. In this study, we evaluated iF cells. iF cells are unlikely to show adipogenic/osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, iF cells have the ability to form tumors and behave similarly to pancreatic cancer cells. The technology used in the generation of iPS/iTS cells is also associated with the risk of generating cancer-like cells.

Abstract
Volumetric muscle loss (VML) is a debilitating condition wherein muscle loss overwhelms the body's normal physiological repair mechanism. VML is particularly common among military service members who have sustained war injuries. Because of the high social and medical cost associated with VML and suboptimal current surgical treatments, there is great interest in developing better VML therapies. Skeletal muscle tissue engineering (SMTE) is a promising alternative to traditional VML surgical treatments that use autogenic tissue grafts, and rather uses isolated stem cells with myogenic potential to generate de novo skeletal muscle tissues to treat VML. Satellite cells are the native precursors to skeletal muscle tissue, and are thus the most commonly studied starting source for SMTE. However, satellite cells are difficult to isolate and purify, and it is presently unknown whether they would be a practical source in clinical SMTE applications. Alternative myogenic stem cells, including adipose-derived stem cells, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, perivascular stem cells, umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and embryonic stem cells, each have myogenic potential and have been identified as possible starting sources for SMTE, although they have yet to be studied in detail for this purpose. These alternative stem cell varieties offer unique advantages and disadvantages that are worth exploring further to advance the SMTE field toward highly functional, safe, and practical VML treatments. The following review summarizes the current state of satellite cell-based SMTE, details the properties and practical advantages of alternative myogenic stem cells, and offers guidance to tissue engineers on how alternative myogenic stem cells can be incorporated into SMTE research.

Abstract
Cryopreservation is a process that preserves organelles, cells, tissues, or any other biological constructs by cooling the samples to very low temperatures. The responses of living cells to ice formation are of theoretical interest and practical relevance. Stem cells and other viable tissues, which have great potential for use in basic research as well as for many medical applications, cannot be stored with simple cooling or freezing for a long time because ice crystal formation, osmotic shock, and membrane damage during freezing and thawing will cause cell death. The successful cryopreservation of cells and tissues has been gradually increasing in recent years, with the use of cryoprotective agents and temperature control equipment. Continuous understanding of the physical and chemical properties that occur in the freezing and thawing cycle will be necessary for the successful cryopreservation of cells or tissues and their clinical applications. In this review, we briefly address representative cryopreservation processes, such as slow freezing and vitrification, and the available cryoprotective agents. In addition, some adverse effects of cryopreservation are mentioned.

Abstract
Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) have the potential to differentiate into cells of mesodermal origin, such as osteoblasts, adipocytes, myocytes, and chondrocytes, and cryopreservation is currently performed as a routine method for preserving ASCs to safely acquire large numbers of cells. For clinical application of ASCs, serum-free, xeno-free cryopreservation solutions should be used. This study determined the viability and adipo-osteogenic potential of cryopreserved ASCs using four cryopreservation solutions: 10% DMSO, Cell Banker 2 (serum free), Stem Cell Banker (=Cell Banker 3: serum free, xeno free), and TC protector (serum free, xeno free). The viability of the cryopreserved ASCs was over 80% with all cryopreservation solutions. No difference in the adipo-osteogenic potential was found between the cells that did or did not undergo cryopreservation in these cryopreservation solutions. These data suggest that Cell Banker 3 and TC protector are comparable with 10% DMSO and Cell Banker 2 for ASCs, and cryopreserved as well as noncryopreserved ASCs could be applied for regenerative medicine.
