Abstract Objectives Aberrations in exosomal circular RNA (circRNA) expression have been identified in various human diseases. In this study, we investigated whether exosomal circRNAs could act as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) to regulate the pathological process of osteoarthritis (OA). This study aimed to elucidate the specific MSC-derived exosomal circRNAs responsible for MSC-mediated chondrogenic differentiation using human bone marrow-derived MSCs (hMSCs) and a destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) mouse model of OA. Methods Exosomal circRNA deep sequencing was performed to evaluate the expression of circRNAs in human bone marrow-derived MSCs (hMSCs) induced to undergo chondrogenesis from day 0 to day 21. The regulatory and functional roles of exosomal circRNA_0001236 were examined on day 21 after inducing chondrogenesis in hMSCs and were validated in vitro and in vivo. The downstream target of circRNA_0001236 was also explored in vitro and in vivo using bioinformatics analyses. A luciferase reporter assay was used to evaluate the interaction between circRNA_0001236 and miR-3677-3p as well as the target gene sex-determining region Y-box 9 (Sox9). The function and mechanism of exosomal circRNA_0001236 in OA were explored in the DMM mouse model. Results Upregulation of exosomal circRNA_0001236 enhanced the expression of Col2a1 and Sox9 but inhibited that of MMP13 in hMSCs induced to undergo chondrogenesis. Moreover, circRNA_0001236 acted as an miR-3677-3p sponge and functioned in human chondrocytes via targeting miR-3677-3p and Sox9. Intra-articular injection of exosomal circRNA_0001236 attenuated OA in the DMM mouse model. Conclusions Our results reveal an important role for a novel exosomal circRNA_0001236 in chondrogenic differentiation. Overexpression of exosomal circRNA_0001236 promoted cartilage-specific gene and protein expression through the miR-3677-3p/Sox9 axis. Thus, circRNA_0001236-overexpressing exosomes may alleviate cartilage degradation, suppressing OA progression and enhancing cartilage repair. Our findings provide a potentially effective therapeutic strategy for treating OA.

Hiv 1

Normal human bone marrow, cultured in vitro with interleukin 5 to promote eosinophil production and maturation, was inoculated with cell-free isolates of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). CD4 expression by eosinophil precursors, determined by immunocytochemistry, was found to be greatest early in their maturation with a rapid decline after 28 d in culture. Productive HIV infection of eosinophil precursors was detected 14 d after inoculation, by a combination of immunostaining for HIV-1 p24 and gp41/160 and in situ hybridization for viral RNA, together with assay of culture supernatants for p24 antigen and reverse transcriptase activity. Thus, eosinophils are susceptible to productive HIV-1 infection in vitro and may be an important reservoir for the virus in vivo.

Abstract Human bone marrow contains a rare population of non-hematopoietic mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSC) with multilineage differentiation capacity, which are essential constituents of the hematopoietic microenvironment. Self-renewal and differentiation are the two key properties of somatic stem cells, however, stem cell properties of human adult BM-MSC have not been demonstrated conclusively yet. We have previously shown that low/negative expression of PDGFRα on linneg/CD45neg/CD271pos cells identified a highly enriched population of primary BM-MSC in adult human bone marrow (Li et al. Blood, 2013, 122:3699). Based on this work, the current study aimed to investigate the in-vitro and in-vivo stem cell properties of this putative stromal stem cell population. The in-vitro clonogenic potential of freshly sorted human linneg/CD45neg/CD271pos/PDGFRlow/neg cells was evaluated by utilizing the CFU-F assay as well as the recently-developed mesensphere assay, which enables MSC amplification while preserving an immature phenotype (Isern et al, Cell Reports 2013, 30: 1714-24). Comparable colony frequencies were obtained with both assays (19.3 ± 2 and 17.5 ± 2.3 CFU-F and spheres per 100 plated cells, respectively, n=6, p=0.19). In order to test whether both assays identified the same population of clonogenic cells, colonies and spheres were replated under both conditions for up to three generations. The results showed comparable capacities of CFU-F and mesenspheres to form secondary and tertiary CFU-F and spheres. In-vitro self-renewal as indicated by increasing numbers of CFU-F and spheres (416.6 ± 431.7-fold and 49.5 ± 65.7-fold, respectively, n=3) was observed up to the third generation and decreased thereafter. The total number of generations was five (CFU-F) and six (spheres). In-vitro differentiation assays with both, CFU-F- and sphere-derived cells (tested until passage three) demonstrated tri-lineage differentiation potential (adipocytes, osteoblasts, chondrocytes). In addition, CFU-Fs and spheres had comparable surface marker profiles (CD73, CD90, CD105, and HLA-ABC positive; CD31, CD34 and HLA-DR negative), except for CD90, which was higher expressed on CFU-Fs. To investigate in-vivo self-renewal and differentiation potential of the putative stromal stem cells, linneg/CD45neg/CD271pos/PDGFRlow/neg -derived CFU-F and spheres were serially transplanted s.c into NSG mice. After 8 weeks, implants were harvested, human cells were FACS-isolated (CD90 and CD105 expression), and re-assayed under CFU-F and sphere conditions. Whereas in-vivo self-renewal of CFU-F could not be shown (111.5 ± 36 –fold decrease in total CFU-F numbers after primary transplantation, n=3), sphere self-renewal was clearly demonstrated by increased numbers of spheres after primary as well as secondary transplantation (1.13 ± 0.05 and 2.06 ± 0.26 –fold, respectively, n=3), which is remarkable given the fact that the number of recovered human cells is underestimated due to the isolation approach. Here, confirming GFP-marking experiments are ongoing. Finally, preliminary data indicate that linneg/CD45neg/CD271pos/PDGFRlow/neg –derived spheres display full in-vivo differentiation capacity in primary and secondary transplantations. Taken together, our data demonstrate - for the first time - that primary human linneg/CD45neg/CD271pos/PDGFRlow/neg cells meet stringent stem cell criteria, i.e. in-vitro and in-vivo self-renewal and differentiation. These findings answer the long-open question of the potential stem cell properties of adult human MSC and will enable to better understand the properties of native BM-MSC and their biological role in the bone marrow.

Abstract Background: Exosomes play important roles in intercellular communication by delivering microRNAs (miRNAs) that mediate tumor initiation and development, including those in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). To date, however, limited studies on the inhibitory effect of exosomes derived from human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) on DLBCL progression have been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of hBMSC-secreted exosomes carrying microRNA-124-3p in the development of DLBCL.Methods: Microarray-based expression analysis was adopted to identify differentially expressed genes and regulatory miRNAs, which revealed the candidate NFATc1. Next, the binding affinity between miR-124-3p and NFATc1 was using luciferase activity assays. The mechanism underlying NFATc1 regulation was investigated using lentiviral transfections. Subsequently, DLBCL cells were cocultured with exosomes derived from hBMSCs transfected with a miR-124-3p mimic or control. Proliferation and apoptosis were measured in vitro. Finally, the effects of hBMSC-derived miR-124-3p on tumor growth were investigated in vivo.Results: MiR-124-3p was downregulated while NFATc1 was upregulated in DLBCL cells. MiR-124-3p specifically targeted and negatively regulated the expression of NFATc1 in DLBCL cells, upregulated miR-124-3p-inhibited DLBCL cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis. In addition, we found that hBMSC-derived exosomes carrying miR-124-3p repressed DLBCL cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo.Conclusion: hBMSC-derived exosomal miR-124-3p represses the development of DLBCL through the downregulation of NFATc1.

Normal human bone marrow contains cells capable of forming colonies of hemopoietic cells in fibrin clots in diffusion chambers implanted intraperitoneally (i.p.) into irradiated mice. The present paper describes the proliferation of such colony-forming units (CFUD) in cultures in vivo. Cells harvested from diffusion chambers after 1–14 days of culture in 450-R irradiated mice contained CFUD, which formed neutrophilic, eosinophilic, or megakaryocytic colonies when tested by secondary culture in fibrin clot chambers. When bone marrow was precultured in irradiated mice at a concentration of 10(6) cells per chamber, an initial fall in the number of neutrophilic CFUD was observed. This decrease was followed by an increase to a maximum at day 2, and then a secondary decrease. The number of neutrophilic CFUD recovered after 2 days of preculture in irradiated mice varied between 60% and 250% of the number present before preculture. Preculture in nonirradiated mice resulted in a significantly lower recovery of neutrophilic CFUD. In vitro treatment of bone marrow cells with hydroxyurea (OHU) after 2 days of preculture in irradiated mice resulted in a 68% +/- 5% reduction in the number of neutrophilic CFUD. In contrast, OHU had no similar effect on precultures from nonirradiated mice. Both the recovery and sensitivity to OHU of eosinophilic CFUD were independent of host irradiation. Similarly, no effect of host irradiation on the recovery or the 3H-thymidine (3HTdR) labeling index of morphologically recognizable granulocytic cells was observed at day 2. The data suggest an effect of humoral host factor(s) on the proliferation of early precursor cells, which are or become committed to differentiate into the neutrophilic pathway in diffusion chambers.
