Project description:Comparison between extracellular vesicles produced from 2D-cultured human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSC) in starvation, and extracellular vesicles produced from spheroids of hMSC hydrodynamically stimulated in a cross-slot millifluidic chip.
Project description:In this study, we have addressed how cellular senescence influences the immunomodulatory potential of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). We induced cell senescence in a panel of bone marrow-derived hMSC samples by means of gamma-irradiation, and performed both gene expression and miRNA microarray analyses on the untreated and senescent samples. We also compared the gene expression profile of untreated and senescent hMSCs with those obtained from several hMSCs samples used in an ongoing allogeneic clinical study of Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD), of which their therapeutic efficacy is known. We have identified several genes (PLEC, C8orf48, TRPC4, and ZNF14) differentially expressed in senescent hMSCs that are similarly regulated in hMSC samples that did not show a therapeutic effect in the GVHD study. These genes might be useful as markers to evaluate the therapeutic potential of hMSCs used in future clinical studies.
Project description:We investigated the effect of SIRT6-knockout on gene expression and H3K4me3 modification profile in human mesenchymal stem cells. RNAs isolated from SIRT6+/+ and SIRT6-/- hMSCs at early and late passages were sequenced, respectively. And, H3K4me3 ChIP-seq was performed upon the SIRT6 deleted hMSC and WT at early stage, respectively.

Project description:Wounds, especially non healing wounds are characterised by elevated tissue lactate concentrations. Lactate is known for being able to stimulate collagen synthesis and vessel growth. Lately it has been shown that lactate, in vivo, plays an important role in homing of stem cells. With this work we aimed to show the influence of lactate on the gene expressionprofil of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC). hMSCs were obtained from bone marrow and characterised with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis. Subsequently the hMSCs were treated with either 0, 5, 10 and 15 mM lactate (pH 7,4) for 24 hours. RNA Isolation from stimulated hMSCs and controls was performed. The Microarray analysis was performed using Affymetrix HuGene 1.0 ST Gene Chip. Selected targets were subsequently analysed using quantitative real time PCR (RTq-PCR). We were able to show that lactate in moderate concentrations of 5 respectively 10 mM leads to an anti-imflammatory, anti-apoptotic but growth and proliferation promoting gene expression after 24 h. In contrast, high latate concentrations of 15 mM leads to the opposed effect, namely promoting inflammation and apoptosis. Hypoxia induced genes did not not show any significant regulation. Contrary to expectation, we were not able to show any significant regulation of glycolysis associate candiadtes. We were able to show that lactate alters gene expression but does not change the cell phenotype, which might be helpful for further investigations of new treatment strategies for chronic non-healing wounds as well as tumor-therapy and neuronal plasticity. Timecourse experiment with hMSCs treated with 5, 10, 15 mM lactic acid for 1, 3, 7 days. hMSCs without lactate served as controls *** CEL files lost due to hard disk crash
Project description:We performed small RNA sequencing on telomerized human bone marrow skeletal (stromal or mesenchymal) stem cells (hMSC-TERT) at various timepoints during differentiated into osteoblasts
Project description:In the present study we analyzed the effect of cellular senescence on the transcriptome of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC; alternatively named mesenchymal stromal cells) from bone marrow. Human MSC were isolated from femoral heads of non-osteoporotic donors after total hip arthroplasty.
Project description:In the present study we analyzed the effect of advanced donor age on the transcriptome of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC; alternatively named mesenchymal stromal cells) from bone marrow. Human MSC of elderly and middle-aged patients without symptoms of osteoporosis were isolated from femoral heads after total hip arthroplasty.
