Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold great promise for the treatment of numerous diseases. A major problem for MSC therapeutic use is represented by the very low amount of MSCs which can be isolated from different tissues; thusex vivoexpansion is indispensable. Long-term culture, however, is associated with extensive morphological and functional changes of MSCs. In addition, the concern that they may accumulate stochastic mutations which lead the risk of malignant transformation still remains. Overall, the genome of human MSCs (hMSCs) appears to be apparently stable throughout culture, though transient clonal aneuploidies have been detected. Particular attention should be given to the use of low-oxygen environment in order to increase the proliferative capacity of hMSCs, since data on the effect of hypoxic culture conditions on genomic stability are few and contradictory. Furthermore, specific and reproducible epigenetic changes were acquired by hMSCs duringex vivoexpansion, which may be connected and trigger all the biological changes observed. In this review we address current issues on long-term culture of hMSCs with a 360-degree view, starting from the genomic profiles and back, looking for an epigenetic interpretation of their genetic stability.

The therapeutic efficiency of Human Amnion Mesenchymal stem cells (HAMCs) is significantly promising. However, its sustainability in long term sub-cultivation has yet to be identified, especially post-cryopreservation. There are concerns whether stem cells which are cryopreserved will be able to retain its functions and differentiation potential efficiently. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of cryopreservation on the serial passaging, morphology and differentiation potential of HAMCs culture post-cryopreservation compared to fresh HAMCs culture. HAMCs was isolated through serial enzymatic digestion of the amnion membrane of human term placenta after delivery. Fresh HAMCs cultures were sub-cultivated until passage 15 while cryopreserved HAMCs samples was preserved at passage 2 of the cell culture and revived after 3 months of cryopreservation period. Through microscopic observation, the cryopreserved HAMCs started to flatten and become larger in size, losing it fibroblastic feature as early as passage 6. The enlarged and flatten morphological features of the HAMCs indicate that the cells began to lose its proliferative activity at this point. In comparison, the HAMCs normally began to enlarge when reaching passage 15 in non-cryopreserved HAMCs cultures. Fresh HAMCs cultures were able to be sustained up to 15 passages while cryopreserved HAMCs were not able to survive pass 10 passages of cell culture. Furthermore, it was observed that both fresh and cryopreserved HAMCs were able to retain its differentiation potential through osteogenesis and adipogenesis medium induction. This was experimentally visualized through positive staining of the calcium composite and lipid droplet in the induced HAMCs culture using Von Kossa stain solution and Oil Red-O stain solution, respectively. Despite retaining it differentiation potential, cryopreserved HAMCs were only able to survive a few passages after being revived. The result suggests that fresh HAMCs is a more suitable candidate to be used in cellular therapy and various clinical application as it were able to retain all its function in long term culture.
