Association between in vivo bone formation and ex vivo migration capacity of human bone marrow stromal cells

ABSTRACT: Introduction: There is a clinical need for developing systemic transplantation protocols for use of human skeletal stem cells (also known bone marrow stromal stem cells) (hBMSC) in tissue regeneration. In systemic transplantation studies, only a limited number of hBMSC home to injured tissues suggesting that only a subpopulation of hBMSC possess “homing” capacity. Thus, we tested the hypothesis that a subpopulation of hBMSC defined by ability to form heterotopic bone in vivo, is capable of homing to injured bone. Methods: We tested ex vivo and in vivo homing capacity of a number of clonal cell populations derived from telomerized hBMSC (hBMSC-TERT) with variable ability to form heterotopic bone when implanted subcutaneously in immune deficient mice. In vitro transwell migration assay was used and in vivo homing ability to bone fractures in mice was visualized by bioluminescence imaging (BLI). In order to identify the molecular phenotype associated with enhanced migration, we carried out comparative DNA microarray analysis of gene expression of hBMSC-derived high bone forming (HBF) clones versus low bone forming (LBF) clones. Results: In this study, clonal cell populations forming in vivo bone were shown to exhibit higher ex vivo transwell migration and following intravenous infusion, enhanced in vivo homing ability to bone fractures. Comparative microarray analysis of LBF versus HBF clones identified a significant enrichment of gene categories of cell chemo-attraction, adhesion and migration. Among these genes, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-R) α and β were highly expressed in HBF clones. Further studies showed that the chemoattractive effects of PDGF in vitro was more enhanced in HBF clones compared to LBF clones and this effect was abolished in presence of a PDGFR-β-specific inhibitor: SU-16f. Sorted PDGFR-β+ cells from LBF clones showed that the PDGFR-β+ enriched cell population exhibited strong chemoattractance towards PDGF. Conclusion: Our data demonstrate phenotypic and molecular association between in vivo bone formation and migratory capacity of hBMSC. PDGFR-β can be used as a potential marker for the prospective selection of hBMSC populations with high migration and bone formation capacities suitable for clinical trials for enhancing bone regeneration.

Comparative microarray analysis of LBF versus HBF clones identified a significant enrichment of gene categories of cell chemo-attraction, adhesion and migration. Among these genes, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-R) Î± and Î² were highly expressed in HBF clones. Further studies showed that the chemoattractive effects of PDGF in vitro was more enhanced in HBF clones compared to LBF clones and this effect was abolished in presence of a PDGFR-Î²-specific inhibitor: SU-16f. Sorted PDGFR-Î²+ cells from LBF clones showed that the PDGFR-Î²+ enriched cell population exhibited strong chemoattractance towards PDGF. Conclusion: Our data demonstrate phenotypic and molecular association between in vivo bone formation and migratory capacity of hBMSC. PDGFR-Î² can be used as a potential marker for the prospective selection of hBMSC populations with high migration and bone formation capacities suitable for clinical trials for enhancing bone regeneration. Total RNA obtained from telomerized human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (T4P38a) with high in vivo bone forming capacity and (T4P74a) with low bone forming capacity and three single cell clones with high bone forming capacities (DD8, AD10 and BB10) and three clones with low bone forming capacities (CF1, CB4 and CD4). All cells were cultured under standard conditions and RNAs were isolated at baseline with no induction. each sample was represented in doublicate as a and b.

Project description:Background & Aims: Rapid induction of beta-PDGF receptor (beta-PDGFR) is a core feature of hepatic stellate cell activation, the hallmark of liver fibrogenesis. However, biological consequences of the induction are not well characterized. We aimed to determine the involvement of beta-PDGFR-mediated molecular pathway activation on hepatic stellate cells in liver injury, fibrogenesis, and carcinogenesis in vivo. Methods: Loss and constitutive activation of beta-PDGFR were assessed in mouse models with either a stellate cell-specific beta-PDGFR knockout or the expression of an autoactivating mutation respectively. Liver injury and fibrosis were induced in two mechanistically distinct models: carbontetrachloride (CCl4) treatment and ligation of the common bile duct. Hepatocarcinogenesis with underlying liver injury/fibrosis was assessed by a single dose of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) followed by repeated injections of CCl4. Genome-wide expression profiling was performed isolated stellate cells from these models to determine deregulated pathways. Results: Depletion of beta-PDGFR in hepatic stellate cells led to decreased histological liver injury, serum transaminases, collagen alpha 1(I) and alpha smooth muscle actin expression, and collagen deposition. Stellate cell proliferation was significantly reduced after acute hepatic injury in vivo. In contrast, autoactivation of beta-PDGFR in stellate cells accelerated liver fibrosis, most prominently after 6 weeks of CCl4 induced injury. There was no difference in development of DEN-induced pre-neoplastic loci according to the status of beta-PDGFR. Conclusions: Depletion of beta-PDGFR in hepatic stellate cells attenuated the development of liver injury, fibrosis, and stellate cell proliferation in multiple animal models, whereas the constitutive activation of beta-PDGFR enhanced fibrosis. However, manipulation of beta-PDGFR alone did not reduce development of dysplastic nodules. These findings indicate that titration of receptor beta-PDGFR expression on stellate cells parallels fibrosis and injury, but may not impact the development of hepatic neoplasia alone. Hepatic stellate cells were isolated from liver of beta-PDGFR-wild-type or knockout mice, and treated with beta-PDGF ligand or vehicle control.
