Single-Cell RNA-Seq Reveals LRRC75A-Expressing Cell Population Involved in VEGF Secretion of Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells Under Ischemia.

ABSTRACT: Human multipotent mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) have been utilized in cell therapy for various diseases and their clinical applications are expected to increase in the future. However, the variation in MSC-based product quality due to the MSC heterogeneity has resulted in significant constraints in the clinical utility of MSCs. Therefore, we hypothesized that it might be important to identify and ensure/enrich suitable cell subpopulations for therapies using MSC-based products. In this study, we aimed to identify functional cell subpopulations to predict the efficacy of angiogenic therapy using bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs). To assess its angiogenic potency, we observed various levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion among 11 donor-derived BM-MSC lines un
