Transcription profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells from two different ages of individuals and grown at different oxygen levels

ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are found in many adult tissues. It is generally accepted that this type of stem cell forms different types of progenitor cells, osteocytes, chondrocytes, and adipocytes. There have been also reports about these cells differentiating into cardiac myocytes and neurons. We found primary MSC enriched at the surface of spongious bone. Therefore cellular and environmentally-induced aging of MSC and their response to oxygen tension have been determined. Low oxygen levels appeared to be instructive on the stemness of MSC allowing proliferation upon stimulation while being protective with respect to differentiation and moreover low oxygen provided a milieu for extended cellular life span. Our data are furthermore indicative for cellular senescence eventually taking place in aged MSC, which however appears to complete more rapidly under mild oxidative stress.

<h4>Background</h4>Age-related gene expression patterns of Homo sapiens as well as of model organisms such as Mus musculus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster are a basis for understanding the genetic mechanisms of ageing. For an effective analysis and interpretation of expression profiles it is necessary to store and manage huge amounts of data in an organized way, so that these data can be accessed and processed easily.<h4>Description</h4>GiSAO.db (Gen ...[more]

Project description:Directing differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) into specific cell types using an easy and reproducible protocol is a perquisite for the clinical use of hESC in regenerative medicine protocols. Here, we report the generation of mesodermal cells with differentiation potential to myocytes, osteoblasts, chondrocytes and adipocytes. We demonstrate that during hESC differentiation as embryoid bodies (EB), inhibition of TGF-b/Activin/Nodal signaling using SB-431542 (SB) markedly up-regulated paraxial mesodermal markers (TBX6, TBX5), early myogenic transcriptional factors (Myf5, Pax7) as well as myocyte committed markers (NCAM, CD34, Desmin, MHC (fast), alpha-smooth muscle actin, Nkx2.5, cTNT). Establishing EB outgrowth cultures (SB-OG) in the presence of SB (1 uM) led to further enrichment of cells expressing markers for myocyte progenitor cell: CD34+ (33%), NCAM+ (CD56) (73%), PAX7 (25%) and mature myocyte proteins (MYOD1, tropomyocin, fast MHC an; d SERCA1). Further analysis using DNA microarray revealed differential up-regulation of 117 genes (>2-fold compared to control cells) annotated to myogenic development and function. During ex vivo culture, contracting myocytes were observed (80% of the population) and the cells formed myofibres when implanted intramuscularly in vivo. Furthermore, in the presence of fetal bovine serum (10% FBS), SB-OG cells developed morphologically and phenotypically into a homogeneous stromal (mesenchymal) stem cell (MSC)-like population expressing characteristic MSC CD markers: CD44 (100%), CD73 (98%), CD146 (96%) and CD166 (88%). They were karyotypically normal and were able to differentiate ex vivo and in vivo into osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocytes. Experiment Overall Design: Human ESCs were differentiated as EBs for 10 days, where after EBs were plated onto fibronectin coated petri dishes. At confluency the outgrowth culture was passaged, at passage 5 3 samples were taken from both control-OG and SB-OG. the samples were mixed and frozen.

Project description:Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) display a high potential for the development of novel treatment strategies for cartilage repair. However, the pathways involved in their differentiation to functional and non hypertrophic chondrocytes remain largely unknown, despite the work on embryologic development and the identification of key growth factors including members of the TGFbeta, Hh, Wnt and FGF families. In this study, we asked if we could identify specific biological networks independently from the growth factor used (TGFbeta-3 or BMP-2). To address this question, we used DNA microarrays and performed large-scale expression profiling of MSC at different time points during their chondral differentiation. By comparing these data with those obtained during their differentiation into osteoblasts and adipocytes, we identified 318 genes specific for chondrogenesis. We distributed the selected genes in 5 classes according to their kinetic of expression and used the Ingenuity software in order to identify new biological networks. We could reconstruct 3 phases for chondral differentiation, characterized by functional pathways. The first phase corresponds to cell attachment and apoptosis prevention with the up-regulation of √é¬±5 integrins, BCL6, NFIL3, RGS2 and down-regulation of CTGF and CYR61. The second phase is characterized by a proliferation/differentiation step with the continuous expression of MAF, PGF, HGMA1 or NOTCH3, CHI3L1, WNT5A, LEPR. Finally, the last step of differentiation/hypertrophy is characterized by expression of DKK1, APOD/E, SERPINF1 and TIMP4. These data propose new pathways to understand the complexity of MSC differentiation to chondrocytes and new potential targets for cell therapy applied to cartilage repair. Experiment Overall Design: To identify genes involved in TGFbeta03/BMP2-induced chondrogenesis, MSC were isolated from human bone marrow aspirates by adherence to culture dishes and cultivated to passage 3. After induction of chondrogenic differentiation with BMP2 or TGFbeta-3, gene expression was determined by microarray hybridization after 1, 3, 7 and 21 days and compared to the undifferentiated MSC.
