Mild hypoxia and human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells synergistically enhance expansion and homing capacity of human cord blood CD34+ stem cells
Authors
Abstract:
Objective(s): Cord blood (CB) is known as a valuable source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Identifying strategies that enhance expansion and maintain engraftment and homing capacity of HSCs can improve transplant efficiency. In this study, we examined different culture conditions on ex vivo expansion and homing capacity of CB-HSCs. Materials and Methods: In this study, 4-5 different units of human CB in each of 3 independent experiments were collected.CD34+ HSC was isolated, cultured in the serum-free medium(Stem line II) and supplemented with cytokines: FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLt3L), Thrombopoietin (TPO), stem cell factor (SCF) with/without bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) feeder layer in normoxia (20% O2) and mild hypoxia (5% O2) for 7 days. Before and after this period, total nucleated cell count (TNC), CD34+ cells count, Colony-forming cell (CFC) assay, migration assay and CXCR4 expression were evaluated by real time PCR. Data analysis was performed with t- test and ANOVA. P-value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant differences.Results: At the end of 7 days of culture, the highest count of TNC, CD34+ cells, CFUs, migration percentage and CXCR4 mRNA level were observed in feeder+cytokine group at 5% O2 tension. Our findings demonstrated statistically significant (1.7-3.2 fold) increase of CXCR4 gene expression in hypoxia versus normoxia.Conclusion: Combination of BM-MSC and mild hypoxia (5% O2) not only improves HSC expansion but also enhances homing capacity of HSC and better mimickes the niche microenvironment conditions.

Hypoxia Preconditioning Promotes Survival And Clonogenic Capacity Of Human Umbilical Cord Blood Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Background: In recent decade, human umbilical cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs) provide enormous potential for appropriate cell therapy, but they have limited growth potential and cease to proliferate due to cellular senescence, so providing a strategy for increasing the stem cell survival is necessary. Methods: In this investigation, MSCs characterized by flow cytome...

Ex vivo expansion of human umbilical cord blood cells (HUCBC) is explored by several investigators to enhance the repopulating potential of HUCBC. The proliferation and expansion of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in ex vivo culture was examined with the goal of generating a suitable clinical protocol for expanding HSC for patient transplantation. Using primary human mesenchymal stem ...

Objective(s): Cells perform their functional activities by communicating with each other through endogenous substances and receptors. Post-translation, stem cells function properly in new host tissue by carrying specific cell surface receptors. We aimed to characterize muscarinic receptor subtypes in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) together with osteogenic and adipogenic...

Introduction: Bone marrow (BM) is a known source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are used for cell therapy. This study attempts to identify if the Wharton’s Jelly (WJ) is a suitable substitute for BM as a source for MSCs. Materials and Methods: A population of human WJ and BM stem cells were isolated and incubated with fluorescein conjugated antibodies for five specific MSC markers....
