ABSTRACTHuman mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were routinely cultured on tissue-culture polystyrene (TCPS) to investigate the in vitro aging and cell stiffening. hMSCs were also cultured on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which is a biocompatible polymer with an elastic modulus of approximately 12.9MPa, to investigate the impact of substrate elastic modulus on cell stiffening and differentiation potential. Cells were passaged over several generations on each material. At each passage, cells were subjected to osteogenic and myogenic differentiation. Local cell elastic modulus was measured at every passage using atomic force microscopy (AFM) indentation. Gene and protein expression was examined using qRT-PCR and immunofluorescent staining, respectively, for osteogenic and myogenic markers. Results show that the success of myogenic differentiation is highly reliant on the elastic modulus of the undifferentiated cells. The success of osteogenic differentiations is most likely somewhat dependent on the cell elastic modulus, as differentiations were more successful in earlier passages, when cells were softer.

AbstractSkeletal muscle tissue is characterized by restrained self-regenerative capabilities, being ineffective in relation to trauma extension both in time span (e.g. chronic diseases) and in size (e.g. large trauma). For these reasons, tissue engineering and/or cellular therapies represent a valuable solution in the cases where the physiological healing process failed. Satellite cells, the putative skeletal muscle stem cells, have been the first solution explored to remedy the insufficient self-regeneration capacity. Nevertheless, some limitation related to donor age, muscle condition, expansion hitch and myogenic potentiality maintenance have limited their use as therapeutic tool. To overcome this hindrance, different stem cells population with myogenic capabilities have been investigated to evaluate their real potentiality for therapeutic approaches, but, as of today, the perfect cell candidate has not been identified yet.In this work, we analyze the characteristics of skeletal muscle-derived human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs), showing the maintenance/increment of myogenic activity upon differential culture conditions. In particular, we investigate the influence of a commercial enriched growth medium (Cyto-Grow), and of a medium enriched with either human-derived serum (H.S.) or Platelet-rich Plasma (PrP), in order to set up a culture protocol useful for employing this cell population in clinical therapeutic strategies. The presented results reveal the remarkable effects of H.S. in the enhancement of hMSC proliferation and myogenic differentiation.

Aim: Variations in the clinical outcomes using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) treatments exist, reflecting different origins and niches. To date, there is no consensus on the best source of MSCs most suitable to treat a specific disease. Methods: Total transcriptome analysis of human MSCs was performed. MSCs were isolated from two adult sources bone marrow, adipose tissue and two perinatal sources umbilical cord and placenta. Results: Each MSCs type possessed a unique expression pattern that reflects an advantage in terms of their potential therapeutic use. Advantages in immune modulation, neurogenesis and other aspects were found. Discussion: This study is a milestone for evidence-based choice of the type of MSCs used in the treatment of diseases.
