Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE20045: A mesoderm-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) precursor: time course experiment GSE20046: A mesoderm-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) precursor: stages of development experiment Refer to individual Series
Project description:Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types forming connective tissue and skeleton, and are essential participants in the development of all organs. However, MSC precursors remain largely unknown. In human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) directed to mesendodermal differentiation through coculture with OP9 stromal cells, we identified a population of mesodermal cells by surface expression of apelin receptor (APLNR1). APLNR+ cells were enriched with precursors generating compact spheroid colonies in semisolid suspension culture. Being formed by single cells, these colonies consisted of a uniform population of mesenchymal cells with a transcriptional profile representative of embryonic mesenchyme originating from lateral plate/extraembryonic mesoderm. Mesenchymal colony formation required serum-free medium and FGF2 as a colony-forming factor, could be significantly enhanced by PDGF-BB, but suppressed by VEGF. When transferred to the adherent cultures in serum-free medium with FGF2, individual colonies gave rise to multipotential mesenchymal cell lines with typical phenotype (CD146+CD105+CD73+CD31-CD43-CD45-), differentiation (chondro-, osteo-, and adipogenesis) and proliferation (>80 doublings) potentials. Consistent with lineage-restricted differentiation pattern, neither endothelial nor hematopoietic cells could be produced from adherent mesenchymal cultures, however endothelial cells could be derived from mesenchymal colonies in the early days of colony-forming culture suggesting that mesenchymal cells arose from cells with primary angiogenic potential (mesangioblasts). Together these studies identified mesangioblasts as the earliest clonogenic mesenchymal precursors at this stage of their specification from mesoderm. This set (8 samples) of expression data is a time-course experiment of hESC (H1) differentiated in OP9 coculture for 1-7 days.

Together these studies identified mesangioblasts as the earliest clonogenic mesenchymal precursors at this stage of their specification from mesoderm. This set (11 samples) of expression data is sequential stages of MSC development from hESCs (H1), namely ALPNR+ mesodermal precursors isolated on day 2 and day 3 differentiation, mesangioblast (MB) cores (Day 2 H1-derived cores), hemangioblast (HB) cores (day 3 H1-derived cores), mesangioblast (MB) and hemangioblast (HB) colonies, and colony-derived MSC lines at passage 1 and 5.
Project description:We found that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) establish nanotubular connections with T cells in a Talin 2 (TLN2)-dependent manner and leveraged these intercellular highways to supply new mitochondria to CD8+ T cells. In this experiment we analyzed the transcriptional profile of T cells co-cultured with MSC containing MSC derived Mitochondria (MitoPositive), T cells co-cultured with MSC not containing MSC derived Mitochondria and control T cells.
Project description:Osteoblasts are a key component of the endosteal hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche and have long been recognized with strong hematopoietic supporting activity. Osteoblast conditioned media (OCM) enhances the growth of hematopoietic progenitors in culture and modulate their engraftment activity. We aimed to characterize the hematopoietic supporting activity of OCM by comparing the secretome of immature osteoblasts to that of their precursor, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC). Over 300 secreted proteins were quantified by mass spectroscopy in media conditioned with MSC or osteoblasts, with 47 being differentially expressed.

Project description:We have analysed tes adipocytic, osteoblastic, chondrocytic and vascular smooth muscle differentiation of the stromal potential of 5 mouse mesenchymal lines derived from hematopoietic sites (bone marrow and fetal liver). The sole line, AFT024, that provide both quadripoential and capable of maintening hematopoiesis in vitro, has served as reference for genomic studies aimed at establishing the signature of the multipotential stromal mesenchymal stem cell (MSC). Keywords: molecular signature of MSC
Project description:This experiment describes the protomic profiling of human bone marrow-dervied Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and their derived extracellular vesicles following an exogenous treatment of MSCs with neutral sphingomyelinase. Samples were ran in triplicate biological replicates with 1 MSC donor. EV samples were processed using TMTpro 16 plex labeling kit. Samples were injected and measured using a Q exactive Plus high-reslution tandem mass spectrometer.
