Mesenchymal stem cell administration changes transcriptomic profiles of non-inflamed lungs in mice.

ABSTRACT: Here, we report that intranasal administration of MSCs to non-inflamed lung microenvironment changed transcriptomic profiles compared to control group. We found 674 differentially regulated genes unique for the short-term model, while only 75 genes were unique for the prolonged observations, suggesting waning of the low-grade inflammation and active resolution in the longer time point. Moreover, we evaluated the enrichment of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the gene ontologies, signaling pathways, and mapped predicted interactions using clusterProfiler v.4.0.0. The normalized enrichment score (NES) analysis indicated activation of the innate and adaptive immune responses. More precisely, the analysis of activation canonical pathways in Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software revealed the increase in IL-7 signaling, T and B cell signaling in the short- and long-term models compared to controls. In addition to this observation, we noted gradual downregulation in HIF1α signaling, IL-17 signaling, and B cell receptor signaling in the longer time-point. Furthermore, the analysis of expression of genes clustered to the terms and processes related to airway inflammation, namely Th1-, Th2-, Th17- driven immune responses development, tight junction molecules, and mucins, revealed a relatively low number of significantly changed genes. Next, we analyzed deeper the expression profiles of genes related to oxidative stress and immune responses, focusing on macrophages activation and phagocytosis. We noted the dysregulated expression of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) macrophage activation, oxidative stress, phagocytosis, and inflammation of the respiratory system. Furthermore, we analyzed the most significant genes with altered z-scores at the investigated time-points according to the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. We observed a trend in a longitudinal decrease in the expression of the shared genes. This study provides a new knowledge regarding a changes in lung transcriptomic profiles in mice administrated with adipose tissue- derived MSCs.

Project description:The beneficial effects of mesenchymal stem cell administration have been reported in numerous preclinical studies. Briefly, decreased levels of Th2-related cytokines, namely IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, impaired eosinophils infiltration, and mucus secretion within the lung have been recognized as hallmarks of MSC-mediated immunosuppression in OVA-Alumn- induced experimental model. However, to date, the effects of MSCs transfer on mixed airway inflammation remain elusive. Therefore, here we aimed to investigate the influence of internasal adipose tissue-derived MSCs on mixed inflammation in a house dust mite (HDM) extract-induced experimental asthma model. To induce mixed airway inflammation, mice were challenged with 10 g of HDM extract for 5 days each week. Additionally, to investigate the short- and long-term effects, adipose tissue-derived MSCs were administrated at two-time points. To analyze MSC-mediated changes, we assessed lung morphology, frequencies of T cells effectors, epithelial barrier integrity, lung transcriptomic profiles, and the levels of cytokines and chemokine in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). We observed the limitation of cellular infiltration and mucus production after MSCs administration. Moreover, we noted a trend to decrease in the frequencies of T cells producing IL-4 and IFNy as a long-term effect of MSCs administration. Additionally, the expression of ZO-1 was increased in both analyzed time-points of MSCs transfer. Notably, we found the changes in the transcriptomic profiles reflecting, the inflammation of the respiratory system, the proliferation of lymphocytes, migration of leukocytes, and recruitment of neutrophils and eosinophils. Finally, we also noted the differences in the levels of CXCL and CCL chemokines in BAL between short- and long-term models, while the changes in Th2-related cytokines levels were limited. Overall, here we confirmed the therapeutic potential of adipose tissue-derived MSCs administration in a novel HDM extract-induced experimental model of mixed airway inflammation.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to induce the conversion of activated T-cells into regulatory T-cells in vitro. The marker CD69 is a target of canonical NF-κB signaling and is transiently expressed upon activation; however, stable CD69 expression defines cells with immunoregulatory properties. Given its enormous therapeutic potential, we explored the molecular mechanisms underlying the induction of regulatory cells by MSCs. Peripheral blood CD3+ T-cells were activated and cultured in the presence or absence of MSCs. CD4+ cell mRNA expression was then characterized by microarray analysis. The drug BAY11-7082 and a siRNA against RELB were used to explore the differential roles of canonical and non-canonical NF-κB signaling, respectively. Flow cytometry and real-time PCR were used for analyses. Genes with immunoregulatory functions, CD69 and non-canonical NF-κB subunits (RELB and NFKB2) were all expressed at higher levels in lymphocytes co-cultured with MSCs. The frequency of CD69+ cells among lymphocytes cultured alone progressively decreased after activation. In contrast, the frequency of CD69+ cells increased significantly following activation in lymphocytes co-cultured with MSCs. Inhibition of canonical NF-κB signaling by BAY immediately following activation blocked the induction of CD69; however, inhibition of canonical NF-κB signaling on the 3rd day further induced the expression of CD69. Furthermore, late expression of CD69 was inhibited by RELB siRNA. These results indicate that the canonical NF-κB pathway controls the early expression of CD69 after activation; however, in an immunoregulatory context, late and sustained CD69 expression is promoted by the non-canonical pathway and is inhibited by canonical NF-κB signaling. In order to study the molecular basis by which Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells (MSC) exert their immune regulatory function, immunomagnetically purified CD3+ T-cells from the peripheral blood of 3 individuals were activated and cultured in the presence or absence of MSCs. Following 5 days, CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells were further immunomagnetically selected and their gene expression profiles were obtained by microarrays and compared. Paired samples from 3 individuals were used for this analysis.

Project description:Ineffective hematopoiesis is a hallmark of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Hematopoietic alterations in MDS patients strictly correlate with microenvironment dysfunctions, eventually affecting also the mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) compartment. Stromal cells are indeed epigenetically reprogrammed to cooperate with leukemic cells and propagate the disease as "tumor unit"; therefore, changes on MSCs epigenetic profile might contribute to the hematopoietic perturbations typical of MDS. Here, we unveil that the histone variant macroH2A1 (mH2A1) regulates the crosstalk between epigenetics and inflammation in MDS-MSCs, potentially affecting their hematopoietic support ability. We show that the mH2A1 splicing isoform mH2A1.1 accumulates in MDS-MSCs, correlating with the expression of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), an important pro-tumor activator of MSC phenotype associated to a pro-inflammatory behavior. MH2A1.1-TLR4 axis was further investigated in HS-5 stromal cells after ectopic mH2A1.1 overexpression (mH2A1.1-OE). Proteomic data confirmed the activation of a pro-inflammatory signature associated to TLR4 and nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) activation. Moreover, mH2A1.1-OE proteomic profile identified several upregulated proteins associated to DNA and histones hypermethylation, including S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, a strong inhibitor of DNA methyltransferase and of the methyl donor S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM). HPLC analysis confirmed higher SAM/SAH ratio along with a metabolic reprogramming. Interestingly, an increased LDHA nuclear localization was detected both in mH2A1.1-OE cells and MDS-MSCs, probably depending on MSC inflammatory phenotype. Finally, coculturing healthy mH2A1-OE MSCs with CD34+ cells, we found a significant reduction in the number of CD34+ cells, which was reflected in a decreased number of colony forming units (CFU -Cs). These results suggest a key role of mH2A1.1 in driving the crosstalk between epigenetic signaling, inflammation and cell metabolism networks in MDS-MSCs.

Project description:Canine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (cAD-MSCs) show therapeutic promise for their regenerative potential, particularly in their secretome. However, concerns arise regarding the impact of in vitro cultivation need for storing therapeutic doses, prompting this study to comprehensively explore the impact of in vitro aging on gene expression and secretome composition. The study involved collecting abdominal adipose tissue samples from nine healthy female dogs, from which cAD-MSCs were extracted and cultured. Stem cells were validated through trilineage differentiation assays and flow cytometry immunophenotyping. Gene expression profiling, using RT-qPCR array and cAD-MSCs secretome LC-MS/MS analysis, were conducted at passages 3 and 6 to reveal gene expression and protein composition alterations during in vitro culture. Gene expression profiling of in vitro aged cAD-MSCs revealed expression alterations, while significant downregulation was observed in two MSC-associated genes. Proteomic analysis revealed 10% distinctively expressed proteins, and several up- and downregulations. Grouping these proteins with biologically significant ones, Gene Ontology Panther Pathway analysis revealed that P3 proteins were significantly associated with cytoskeletal regulation, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor signaling, inflammation mediated by chemokine and cytokine signaling, Wnt signaling, and CCKR signaling map. In contrast, P6 proteins were linked to the xanthine and guanine salvage pathway, adenine and hypoxanthine salvage pathway, and blood coagulation pathway. To the best of our knowledge, this study presents the first original perspective on the changes in secretome composition that occur when cAD-MSCs age in vitro. Our findings highlight significant changes that, in conclusion, indicate the regenerative potential of cAD-MSCs and that their secretome may be compromised due to in vitro aging. Consequently, our study suggests a preference for earlier passages when considering these cells for therapeutic applications.
