Project description:The efficient clearance of dead and dying cells, also known as efferocytosis, is critical to maintain tissue homeostasis. In the bone marrow microenvironment (BMME), this role is primarily fulfilled by professional bone marrow macrophages, but recent work has shown that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) act as a non-professional phagocyte within the BMME. However, little is known about the mechanism and impact of efferocytosis on MSCs in the BMME and on their function. To investigate this, we performed flow cytometric analysis of neutrophil uptake by ST2 cells, a murine bone marrow-derived stromal cell line, and in murine primary bone marrow-derived stromal cells. Transcriptional analysis showed that MSCs possess the necessary receptors and internal processing machinery to conduct efferocytosis, with Axl and Tyro3 serving as the main receptors, while MerTK was not expressed. Moreover, the expression of these receptors was modulated by efferocytic behavior, regardless of apoptotic target. MSCs derived from human bone marrow also demonstrated efferocytic behavior, showing that MSC efferocytosis is conserved. In all MSCs, efferocytosis impaired osteoblastic differentiation. Transcriptional analysis and functional assays identified downregulation in MSC mitochondrial function upon efferocytosis. Experimentally, efferocytosis induced mitochondrial fission in MSCs. Pharmacologic inhibition of mitochondrial fission in MSCs not only decreased efferocytic activity but also rescued osteoblastic differentiation, demonstrating that efferocytosis-mediated mitochondrial remodeling plays a critical role in regulating MSC differentiation. This work describes a novel function of MSCs as non-professional phagocytes within the BMME and demonstrates that efferocytosis by MSCs plays a key role in directing mitochondrial remodeling and MSC differentiation. Efferocytosis by MSCs may therefore be a novel mechanism of dysfunction and senescence. Since our data in human MSCs show that MSC efferocytosis is conserved, the consequences of MSC efferocytosis may impact the behavior of these cells in the human skeleton, including osteoporosis in aging.

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

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) And osteolineage cells contribute to the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) Niche in the bone marrow of long bones. However, Their developmental relationships remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that different MSC populations in the developing marrow of long bones have distinct functions. Proliferative mesoderm-derived nestin- MSCs participate in fetal skeletogenesis, And lose MSC activity soon after birth. In contrast, Quiescent neural-crest-derived nestin+ Cells in the same bones preserve MSC activity, But do not generate fetal chondrocytes. Instead, They differentiate into HSC-niche-forming MSCs, Helping to establish the HSC niche by secreting Cxcl12. Perineural migration of these cells to the bone marrow requires the ErbB3 receptor. The neonatal Nestin-GFP+ PDGFR- Cell population also contains Schwann-cell precursors, But does not comprise mature Schwann cells. Thus, In the developing bone marrow HSC-niche-forming MSCs share a common origin with sympathetic peripheral neurons and glial cells, And ontogenically distinct MSCs have non-overlapping functions in endochondrogenesis and HSC niche formation. Total RNA was isolated from small numbers of FACS sorted stromal cells, obtained from neonatal Nes-Gfp bone marrow preparations (2 biological replicates). Each independent set of samples was obtained from pooled skeletal elements (long bones and sterna) form multiple littermates.

Project description:GATA2 is a transcription factor that is required for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) differentiation. GATA2 is also expressed in mesenchymal cells and blocks differentiation of both white and brown adipocytes by interfering with C/EBP activity and PPARγ expression. By studying genome-wide binding sites of endogenous GATA2 in mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), we discovered a previously unrecognized function of GATA2 in the regulation of skeletal development-related genes. In contrast to hematopoietic stem cells, canonical GATA2 binding motifs in MSCs co-localized with motifs for transcription factors of the FOX and HOX family, known regulators of skeletal development. Consistently, ectopic GATA2 expression in MSCs regulated many osteoblast-related genes. Ectopic GATA2 blocked, whereas GATA2 deletion enhanced differentiation of osteoblastic precursors. GATA2 expression inhibited bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 induced SMAD1/5/8 activity, a pathway that drives osteoblastogenesis. MSC-specific deletion of GATA2 in mice affected both numbers and osteogenic potential of bone-residing precursors without disturbing normal skeletal development. In adult mice, MSC-specific GATA2 deficiency affected trabecular bone structure and its mechanical properties. blood phenotype? In summary, our study identified GATA2 as a novel regulator of osteoblast differentiation and bone morphology, suggesting a role of GATA2 in MSC lineage determination that goes beyond adipocyte differentiation. Microarrays analysis was done to determine gene expression changes between sqWAW-MSC control cells and sqWAT-MSC cells with Gata2 over-expression.

Project description:Objective: Craniofacial bone defects caused by injuries and congenital diseases are a formidable challenge to clinicians. Research has shown promise in using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) from limb bones for craniofacial bone regeneration; yet little is known about the potential of BM-MSCs from craniofacial bones. This study compared BM-MSCs isolated from limb and craniofacial bones in pigs, a preclinical model closely resembling humans. Design: Bone marrow was aspirated from the tibia and mandible of four-month-old pigs (n=4), followed by BM-MSC isolation, culture-expansion and confirmation by flow cytometry. Proliferation rates were compared using population doubling times. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by quantifying alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Total mRNA was extracted from freshly isolated BM-MSCs and analyzed to compare gene expressions of tibial and mandibular BM-MSCs using an Affymetrix GeneChip porcine genome array, followed by real-time RT-PCR evaluation of two neural crest markers. Results: BM-MSCs from both locations expressed MSC markers without expression of hematopoietic markers. Mandibular BM-MSCs proliferated significantly faster than tibial BM-MSCs. Without osteogenic inducers, mandibular BM-MSC alkaline phosphatase activities were 3.3-fold greater than those of tibial origin. Microarray analysis identified 383 differentially expressed genes in mandibular and tibial BM-MSCs, including higher expression of cranial neural crest-related genes nestin and BMP-4 in mandibular BM-MSCs, a trend also confirmed by real-time RT-PCR. Among differently expressed genes, only 47 showed greater than 1.5-fold differences in expression. Conclusions: These data indicate that despite many similarities in gene expression, mandibular BM-MSCs express of number of genes differently than tibial BM-MSCs and have a phenotypic profile that may make them advantageous for craniofacial bone regeneration. Bone marrow was aspirated from the mandibular symphyseal region and the tibia of 3 pigs. Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from the bone marrow and cultured to 80% confluence. Cells were harvested for total RNA extraction and the RNA was analyzed by Affymetrix GeneChip porcine genome array.

Project description:Efficient osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is crucial to accelerate bone formation. In this context, the use of extracellular matrix (ECM) as natural 3D-framework mimicking in vivo tissue architecture is of interest. The aim of this study was to generate a devitalized human osteogenic MSC-derived ECM and to investigate its impact on MSC osteogenic differentiation to improve MSC properties in bone regeneration. The devitalized ECM significantly enhanced MSC adhesion and proliferation. Osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of MSCs on the ECM was quicker than in standard conditions. The presence of ECM promoted in vivo bone formation by MSCs in a mouse model of ectopic-calcification. We analyzed the ECM composition by mass spectrometry, detecting 846 proteins. Of these, 473 proteins were shared with the human bone proteome we previously described, demonstrating high homology to an in vivo microenvironment. Bioinformatic analysis of the 846 proteins showed involvement in adhesion and osteogenic differentiation, confirming the ECM composition as key modulator of MSC behaviour. In addition to known ECM-components, proteomic analysis revealed novel ECM functions, which could improve culture conditions. In summary, this study provides a simplified method to obtain an in vitro MSC-derived ECM that enhances osteogenic differentiation, and could be applied as natural biomaterial to accelerate bone regeneration.

Project description:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint condition associated with articular cartilage loss, low-grade synovitis and alterations in subchondral bone and periarticular tissues. In OA, the interest for mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-EV therapeutic applications has increased. We have assessed the immunomodulary properties of adipose-derived MSCs (AD-MSCs) microvesicles (MV) and exosomes (EX) in interleukin (IL)-1β stimulated OA chondrocytes and cartilage explants and characterized them by mass spectrometry in order to uncover novel mediators in (AD-MSC)-EV immunomodulation.

Project description:Administration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has the potential to ameliorate degenerative disorders and to repair damaged tissues. The homing of transplanted MSCs to injured sites is a critical property of engraftment. Our aim was to identify microRNAs involved in controlling MSC proliferation and migration. MSCs can be isolated from bone marrow and umbilical cord Wharton's jelly (BM-MSCs and WJ-MSCs, respectively), and WJ-MSCs show poorer motility yet have a better amplification rate compared to BM-MSCs. One human BM-MSC (pooled sample of 4 independent donors), one human WJ-MSC (pooled sample of 3 independent donors), and differentiated osteocytes and adipocytes derived from BM-MSCs after 2 weeks induction.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an attractive therapeutic tool for tissue engineering and re-generative medicine due to their regenerative and trophic properties. The best-known and most widely used are bone marrow MSCs, but they are now being harvested and developed from a wide range of adult and perinatal tissues. MSCs from different sources are believed to have dif-ferent secretion potentials and production, which may influence their therapeutic effects. To prove it, we performed a quantitative proteomic analysis based on the TMT technique of MSCs from 3 different sources: wharton’s jelly (WJ), dental pulp (DP) and bone marrow (BM). Our analysis has focused on MSC biological properties of interest for tissue engineering. We identified a total of 611 human proteins differentially expressed. WJ-MSCs shown the greatest variation compared to the other sources. WJ produced more extra-cellular matrix (ECM) proteins and ECM-affiliated proteins and appeared to more able to modulate the inflammatory and immune response. BM-MSCs display enhanced differentiation and paracrine communication capabilities. DP-MSC appeared to promote exosome production. The results obtained confirm the existence of differences between WJ, DP and BM-MSC and the need to select the MSC origin according to the therapeutic objective sought.
