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


ABSTRACT: 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.
