Comparison of Different Clinical Chemotherapeutical Agents' Toxicity and Cell Response on Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or fibroblasts are one of the most abundant cell types in the tumor microenvironment (TME) exerting various anti- and pro-apoptotic effects during tumorigenesis, invasion, and drug treatment. Despite the recently discovered importance of MSCs in tumor progression and therapy, the response of these cells to chemotherapeutics compared to cancer cells is rarely investigated. A widely accepted view is that these naive MSCs have higher drug tolerance than cancer cells due to a significantly lower proliferation rate. Here, we examine the differences and similarities in the sensitivity of MSCs and cancer cells to nine diverse chemotherapy agents and show that, although MSCs have a slower cell cycle, these cells are still sensitive to various drugs. Surprisingly, MSCs showed similar sensitivity to a panel of compounds, however, suffered fewer DNA double-stranded breaks, did not enter into a senescent state, and was virtually incapable of apoptosis. Our results suggest that MSCs and cancer cells have different cell fates after drug treatment, and this could influence therapy outcome. These findings could help design drug combinations targeting both MSCs and cancer cells in the TME.

Project description:IntroductionCryopreservation is a critical process of cell products for achieving a commercial viability through wide scale adoption. By preserving cells in a lower temperature, cryopreservation enables a product to be off-the-shelf and ready for infusion. An optimized cryopreservation strategy can maintain the viability, phenotype, and potency of thawed mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) while being regulatory compliant. We compared three clinical-ready formulations with one research cryopreservation solutions and evaluated key quality parameters of post thawed MSCs.Method and resultMSCs were cryopreserved at 3, 6, and 9 million cells/mL (M/mL) in four different cryopreservation solutions: NutriFreez (10% dimethyl sulfoxide [DMSO]), Plasmalyte A (PLA)/5% human albumin (HA)/10% DMSO (PHD10), CryoStor CS5 (5% DMSO), and CryoStor CS10 (10% DMSO). To establish post thaw viability, cells were evaluated with no dilution of DMSO (from 3 M/mL), 1:1 dilution (from 6 M/mL), or 1:2 dilution (from 9 M/mL) with PLA/5% HA, to achieve uniform concentration at 3 M/mL. Cell viability was measured at 0-, 2-, 4-, and 6-h post thaw with Trypan blue exclusion and Annexin V/PI staining. Dilution (1:2) of final cell products from 9M/mL resulted in an improvement of cell viability over 6 h but showed a trend of decreased recovery. MSCs cryopreserved in solutions with 10% DMSO displayed comparable viabilities and recoveries up to 6 h after thawing, whereas a decreasing trend was noted in cell viability and recovery with CS5. Cells from all groups exhibited surface marker characteristics of MSCs. We further evaluated cell proliferation after 6-day recovery in culture. While cells cryopreserved in NutriFreez and PHD10 presented similar cell growth post thaw, MSCs cryopreserved in CS5 and CS10 at 3 M/mL and 6M/mL showed 10-fold less proliferative capacity. No significant differences were observed between MSCs cryopreserved in NutriFreez and PHD10 in their potency to inhibit T cell proliferation and improve monocytic phagocytosis.ConclusionMSCs can be cryopreserved up to 9 M/mL without losing notable viability and recovery, while exhibiting comparable post thaw potency with NutriFreez and PHD10. These results highlight the importance of key parameter testing for selecting the optimal cryopreservation solution for MSC-based therapy.
