AbstractHuman mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) have demonstrated, in various preclinical settings, consistent ability in promoting tissue healing and improving outcomes in animal disease models. However, translation from the preclinical model into clinical practice has proven to be considerably more difficult. One key challenge being the inability to perform in situ assessment of the hMSCs in continuous culture, where the accumulation of the senescent cells impairs the culture’s viability, differentiation potential and ultimately leads to reduced therapeutic efficacies. Histochemical $$\upbeta $$ β -galactosidase staining is the current standard for measuring hMSC senescence, but this method is destructive and not label-free. In this study, we have investigated alternatives in quantification of hMSCs senescence, which included flow cytometry methods that are based on a combination of cell size measurements and fluorescence detection of SA-$$\upbeta $$ β -galactosidase activity using the fluorogenic substrate, C$${_{12}}$$ 12 FDG; and autofluorescence methods that measure fluorescence output from endogenous fluorophores including lipopigments. For identification of senescent cells in the hMSC batches produced, the non-destructive and label-free methods could be a better way forward as they involve minimum manipulations of the cells of interest, increasing the final output of the therapeutic-grade hMSC cultures. In this work, we have grown hMSC cultures over a period of 7 months and compared early and senescent hMSC passages using the advanced flow cytometry and autofluorescence methods, which were benchmarked with the current standard in $$\upbeta $$ β -galactosidase staining. Both the advanced methods demonstrated statistically significant values, (r = 0.76, p $$\le $$ ≤ 0.001 for the fluorogenic C$${_{12}}$$ 12 FDG method, and r = 0.72, p $$\le $$ ≤ 0.05 for the forward scatter method), and good fold difference ranges (1.120–4.436 for total autofluorescence mean and 1.082–6.362 for lipopigment autofluorescence mean) between early and senescent passage hMSCs. Our autofluroescence imaging and spectra decomposition platform offers additional benefit in label-free characterisation of senescent hMSC cells and could be further developed for adoption for future in situ cellular senescence evaluation by the cell manufacturers.

The well-known immunomodulatory and regenerative properties of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are the reason why they are being used for the treatment of many diseases. Because they are considered hypoimmunogenic, MSCs treatments are performed without considering histocompatibility barriers and without anticipating possible immune rejections. However, recent preclinical studies describe the generation of alloantibodies and the immune rejection of MSCs. This has led to an increasing number of clinical trials evaluating the immunological profile of patients after treatment with MSCs. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the generation of donor specific antibodies (DSA) after allogeneic MSC (allo-MSC) therapy and the impact on safety or tolerability. Data from 555 patients were included in the systematic review, 356 were treated with allo-MSC and the rest were treated with placebo or control drugs. A mean of 11.51% of allo-MSC-treated patients developed DSA. Specifically, 14.95% of these patients developed DSA and 6.33% of them developed cPRA. Neither the production of DSA after treatment nor the presence of DSA at baseline (presensitization) were correlated with safety and/or tolerability of the treatment. The number of doses administrated and human leucocyte antigen (HLA) mismatches between donor and recipient did not affect the production of DSA. The safety of allo-MSC therapy has been proved in all the studies and the generation of alloantibodies might not have clinical relevance. However, there are very few studies in the area. More studies with adequate designs are needed to confirm these results.
