Extra-hematopoietic immunomodulatory role of the guanine exchange factor DOCK-2 [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: The molecular basis of stromal immunomodulation is still unresolved. Here, we show a novel function for dedicator of cytokinesis 2 (DOCK2) in regulating extra-hematopoietic immune function of three independent stromal cell sources: induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)-derived mesodermal stromal cell (iPS-MSC), severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) patient-derived fibroblasts and CRISPR/Cas9 knockout cells (iPS-MSCDOCK2KO). We first reprogrammed human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) into iPSC before differentiating the iPSCs back into MSC. Immature iPS-MSCs lacked immunosuppressive potential. Successive phenotypic maturation facilitated immunomodulatory function, while maintaining clonogenicity, comparable to parental MSCs. Sequential RNA-seq displayed time-dependent immune-related gene expression eventually resembling parental MSCs. SCID patient-derived fibroblasts harboring bi-allelic DOCK2 mutations also showed significantly reduced immunomodulatory capacity compared to non-mutated fibroblasts. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated DOCK2 knockout in healthy iPSCs resulted in significantly reduced immunomodulatory capacity, reduced F-actin stress-fibers, and a disturbed subcellular localization of CDC42 activation. We provide first evidence for extra-hematopoietic immunomodulation by the guanin exchange factor DOCK2. This suggests that persisting immune disease after successful blood stem cell transplantation in SCID patients could in part be due to loss-of-function DOCK2 mutations.

Single-cell RNA-seq of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells reveals unique profiles of lineage priming

Project description:The plasticity and immunomodulatory capacity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have spurred clinical use in recent years. However, clinical outcomes vary and many ascribe inconsistency to the tissue source of MSCs. Yet unconsidered is the extent of heterogeneity of individual MSCs from a given tissue source with respect to differentiation potential and immune regulatory function. Here we use single-cell RNA-seq to assess the transcriptional diversity of murine mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow. We found genes associated with MSC multipotency were expressed at a high level and with consistency between individual cells. However, genes associated with osteogenic, chondrogenic, adipogenic, neurogenic and vascular smooth muscle differentiation were expressed at widely varying levels between individual cells. Further, certain genes associated with immunomodulation were also inconsistent between individual cells. Differences could not be ascribed to cycles of proliferation, culture bias or other cellular process, which might alter transcript expression in a regular or cyclic pattern. These results support and extend the concept of lineage priming of MSCs and emphasize caution for in vivo or clinical use of MSCs, even when immunomodulation is the goal, since multiple mesodermal (and even perhaps ectodermal) outcomes are a possibility. Purification might enable shifting of the probability of a certain outcome, but is unlikely to remove multilineage potential altogether. Examination was performed using single-cell RNA-seq of sixteen mouse MSCs (mMSC1-mMSC16), non MSC single cell controls (HL1cm1-HL1cm5), and the population controls (mMSC-PC and HL1cm-PC).

Independent human mesenchymal stromal cell-derived extracellular vesicle preparations differentially attenuate symptoms in an advanced murine Graft-versus-Host-Disease model

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) harvested from conditioned media of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) suppress acute inflammation in various disease models and promote regeneration of damaged tissues. Following successful treatment of an acute steroid-refractory Graft-versus-Host disease (GvHD) patient with EVs prepared from conditioned media of human bone marrow-derived MSCs, we focus on improving the MSC-EV production for the clinical application. Independent MSC-EV preparations all produced according to a standardized procedure, reveal broad immunomodulatory differences. Only a proportion of our MSC-EV products effectively modulate immune responses in a multi-donor mixed lymphocyte reaction (mdMLR) assay. To explore the relevance of such differences, we have established an optimized mouse GvHD model. The functional testing of selected MSC-EV preparations demonstrate that MSC-EV preparations revealing immunomodulatory capabilities in the mdMLR assay also effectively suppress GvHD symptoms in this model. In contrast, MSC-EV preparations, lacking such in vitro activities, also fail to modulate GvHD symptoms in vivo. Searching for differences of the active and inactive MSC-EV preparations, we failed to identify concrete proteins or miRNAs that could serve as surrogate markers. Thus, standardized MSC-EV production strategies may not be sufficient to warrant manufacturing of MSC-EV products with reproducible qualities. Consequently, given this functional heterogeneity, every individual MSC-EV preparation considered for the clinical application should be evaluated for its therapeutic potency prior to administration to patients. Here, we qualified the mdMLR assay for such analyses.

Mesenchymal stromal cells from neonatal tracheal aspirates demonstrate a pattern of gene expression consistent with a lung origin

Project description:Expression profiling of lung derived mesenchymal stromal cells to lung fibrblasts and cord blood derived mesenchymal stromal cells We have previously isolated mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from the tracheal aspirates of premature neonates with respiratory distress. While isolation of MSCs correlates with the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, the physiologic role of these cells remains unclear. To address this, we further characterized the cells, focusing on the issues of gene expression, origin and cytokine expression. Microarray comparison of early passage neonatal lung MSC gene expression to cord blood MSCs and human fetal and neonatal lung fibroblast lines demonstrated that the neonatal lung MSCs differentially expressed 971 gene probes compared to cord blood MSCs, including the transcription factors Tbx2, Tbx3, Wnt5a, FoxF1 and Gli2, each of which have been associated with lung development. Compared to lung fibroblasts, 710 gene probe transcripts were differentially expressed by the lung MSCs, including IL-6 and IL-8/CXCL8. Further, neonatal lung MSCs exhibited a pattern of Hox gene expression distinct from cord-blood MSCs but similar to human fetal lung fibroblasts, consistent with a lung origin. Together, these data suggest that MSCs isolated from neonatal tracheal aspirates originate in the lung and are distinct from lung fibroblasts.

Whole transcript expression profiling of umbilical cord- and bone marrow-derived stem cells

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells with potent immunosuppressive and trophic support functions. Although bone marrow is considered the golden standard to isolate classical MSCs (BM-MSC), MSC-like cells are currently also derived from other, more easily accessible extra-embryonic tissues such as the umbilical cord. In this study we compared the gene expression profile of human Wharton's jelly explant-derived MSC cultures with two adult MSC populations derived from bone marrow, namely BM-MSC and multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPC). Here we demonstrate, by using genome wide gene expression analysis, that WJ-MSCs intrinsically have a differential gene expression profile compared to the adult MSCs. Gene ontology analysis revealed an increased expression of genes associated with cell-adhesion, proliferation, and immune system functioning. Furthermore, in comparison to adult MSC, stem cells from the Wharton’s jelly highly express genes involved in neurotrophic support (e.g. LIF, BDNF, NTF3). Such enhanced signatures make WJ-MSC an attractive candidate for cell-based therapy in neurodegenerative and immune-mediated CNS disorders such as multiple sclerosis or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Shear stress induces immunomodulatory signaling in bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs)

Project description:Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) regulate homeostasis and trafficking of cells of the blood lineage. In response to traumatic injury or infection, MSCs are believed to mobilize from the bone marrow, but it is largely unknown how egress into circulation impacts MSC function. Here we show that biomechanical forces associated with trafficking of MSCs from the bone marrow into the vasculature contribute uniquely to genetic signaling that reinforces MSC repression of immune cell activation. Laminar wall shear stress (LSS) typical of fluid frictional forces present on the lumen of arterioles stimulates increases in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mediators, as well as an array of chemokines capable of immune cell recruitment. Importantly, LSS promotes a signaling cascade through COX2 that elevates prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) biosynthesis, permitting MSCs to suppress immune cell activation in the presence of inflammatory cues. Pharmacological inhibition of COX2 depleted PGE2 and impaired the ability of MSCs to block tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production, supporting a key role for PGE2 in the MSC immunomodulatory response to LSS. Preconditioning of MSCs by LSS ex vivo was an effective means of enhancing therapeutic efficacy in a rat model of traumatic brain injury, as evidenced by decreased numbers of apoptotic and M1-type activated microglia in the hippocampus and by retention of endogenous MSCs in the bone marrow. We conclude that biomechanical forces provide critical cues to MSCs residing at the vascular interface which influence MSC immunomodulatory and paracrine functions, thus providing unique opportunities for functional enhancement of MSCs used in therapeutic applications.

Uncovering the secretome of mesenchymal stromal cells exposed to healthy, traumatic and 1 degenerative intervertebral discs: A proteomic analysis

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been introduced as promising cell source for regenerative medicine. Besides their multilineage differentiation capacity, MSCs release a wide spectrum of bioactive factors. This secretome holds immunomodulatory and regenerative capacities. In intervertebral disc (IVD) cells, application of MSC secretome has been shown to decrease the apoptosis rate, induce proliferation and promote production of extracellular matrix (ECM). For clinical translation of secretome-based treatment, characterization of the secretome composition is needed to better understand the induced biological processes and identify potentially effective secretomes. Methods: This study aimed to investigate the proteome released by bone marrow derived MSCs following exposure to a healthy, traumatic, or degenerative human IVD environment by mass spectroscopy and quantitative immunoassay analyses. Exposure of MSCs to the proinflammatory stimulus interleukin 1β (IL-1b) was used as control.

Role of miRNAs in acute kidney injury recovery induced by mesenchymal stromal cells and derived extracellular vesicles.

Project description:Phenotypic changes induced by extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been implicated in the recovery of acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). miRNAs are potential candidates for cell reprogramming towards a pro-regenerative phenotype. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether miRNA de-regulation inhibits the regenerative potential of MSCs and derived-EVs in a model of glycerol-induced AKI in SCID mice. For this purpose, we generated MSCs depleted of Drosha, a critical enzyme of miRNA maturation, to alter miRNA expression within MSCs and EVs. Drosha knock-down MSCs (MSC-Dsh) maintained the phenotype and differentiation capacity. They produced EVs that did not differ from those of wild type cells in quantity, surface molecule expression and internalization within renal tubular epithelial cells. However, EVs derived from MSC-Dsh (EV-Dsh) showed global down-regulation of miRNAs. Whereas, wild type MSCs and derived EVs were able to induce morphological and functional recovery in AKI, MSC-Dsh and EV-Dsh were ineffective. RNA sequencing analysis showed that genes deregulated in the kidney of AKI mice were restored by treatment with MSCs and EVs but not by MSC-Dsh and EV-Dsh. Gene Ontology analysis showed that down-regulated genes in AKI were associated with fatty acid metabolism. The up-regulated genes in AKI were involved in inflammation, ECM-receptor interaction and cell adhesion molecules. These alterations were reverted by treatment with wild type MSCs and EVs, but not by the Drosha counterparts. In conclusion, miRNA depletion in MSCs and EVs significantly reduced their intrinsic regenerative potential in AKI, suggesting a critical role of miRNAs. RNA-seq

Transcription profiling of human culture-amplified and native bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to characterize specific plasma membrane protein phenotype

Project description:We have studied the plasma membrane protein phenotype of human culture-amplified and native Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM MSCs). We have found, using microarrays and flow cytometry, that cultured cells express specifically 113 transcripts and 17 proteins that were not detected in hematopoietic cells. These antigens define a lineage-homogenous cell population of mesenchymal cells, clearly distinct from the hematopoietic lineages, and distinguishable from other cultured skeletal mesenchymal cells (periosteal cells and synovial fibroblasts). Among the specific membrane proteins present on cultured MSCs, 9 allowed the isolation from BM mononuclear cells of a minute population of native MSCs. The enrichment in Colony-Forming Units-Fibroblasts was low for CD49b, CD90 and CD105, but high for CD73, CD130, CD146, CD200 and integrin alphaV/beta5. Additionally, the expression of CD73, CD146 and CD200 was down-regulated in differentiated cells. The new marker CD200, because of its specificity and immunomodulatory properties, deserves further in depth studies. Experiment Overall Design: Expression profiles of bone marrow MSC were compared with different lineages of purified hematopoietic cells from bone marrow to identify characteristic markers for human BM-MSC
