Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been known as useful donor cells for somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). It has been suggested that the culture condition of donor cells causes different results on preimplantation development of SCNT embryos. In this study, we investigated the patterns of gene expression of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ad-MSC) in different culture media (DMEM and RKME), and examined the effect of ad-MSC, with the gene expression changed, used as donor cells on the preimplantation development of cloned embryos. Canine ad-MSC were isolated from fat tissue of 3-year-old female beagle and were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (MSC-DMEM) and RKME (MSC-MSC) provided from RNL Bio Corp. (Seoul, Korea). Total RNA was extracted from ad-MSC cultured in each culture medium. After synthesising cDNA of each sample, quantitative RT-PCR was done according to the Takara Bio Inc. guidelines and using the 7300 Real Time PCR Cycler System (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The level of all tested gene transcription was normalized to β-actin expression levels. The relative quantification of gene expression was analysed by the 2–ΔΔCt method. The data from all experiments were analysed by Student’s t-test using a statistical analysis GraphPad Prism 4.02 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). Significance was determined at P < 0.05. The stemness, the reprogramming-related gene expression level of donor cells of MSC-DMEM and MSC-MSC were compared. In order to confirm the effect of MSC cultured in 2 different culture media on somatic cell nuclear transfer, we performed interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT). The enucleated bovine oocytes were injected, respectively, with donor cells of MSC-DMEM and MSC-MSC, and were fused by electrofusion. The iSCNT embryos were cultured in modified SOF at 38.5°C for 7 days in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 5% O2, and the developmental ability of iSCNT embryos was observed under the microscope. The MSC-MSC contained a significantly higher amount of Sox2, Nanog, Oct4, Stella, HDAC1, DNMT1, and MeCP2 than the MSC-DMEM, whereas the amount of Rex1 was not different in either MSC-MSC or MSC-DMEM. In the development ability of iSCNT embryos, MSC-DMEM embryos resulted in a 16-cell embryo formation rate that was higher than that of MSC-MSC embryos (9.09 and 5.30%, respectively; P < 0.05). However, the blastocyst formation rate was not different between MSC-DMEM embryos and MSC-MSC embryos (4.5 and 3.2%, respectively; P > 0.05). These results demonstrate that the gene expression of ad-MSC can be modified, by culture media, into a state where reprogramming is easily done. Even so, ad-MSC with gene expression changed by culture medium did not influence the developmental ability of blastocysts. In conclusion, the alteration of gene-related stemness and reprogramming in canine ad-MSC would not be able to effectively control reprogramming in SCNT.

Abstract Background The global health emergency of COVID-19 has necessitated the development of multiple therapeutic modalities including vaccinations, antivirals, anti-inflammatory, and cytoimmunotherapies, etc. COVID-19 patients suffer from damage to various organs and vascular structures, so they present multiple health crises. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are of interest to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Main body Stem cell-based therapies have been verified for prospective benefits in copious preclinical and clinical studies. MSCs confer potential benefits to develop various cell types and organoids for studying virus-human interaction, drug testing, regenerative medicine, and immunomodulatory effects in COVID-19 patients. Apart from paving the ways to augment stem cell research and therapies, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) holds unique ability for a wide range of health applications such as patient-specific or isogenic cells for regenerative medicine and breeding transgenic animals for biomedical applications. Being a potent cell genome-reprogramming tool, the SCNT has increased prominence of recombinant therapeutics and cellular medicine in the current era of COVID-19. As SCNT is used to generate patient-specific stem cells, it avoids dependence on embryos to obtain stem cells. Conclusions The nuclear transfer cloning, being an ideal tool to generate cloned embryos, and the embryonic stem cells will boost drug testing and cellular medicine in COVID-19.

Abnormal gene expression is frequently observed in nuclear transfer (NT) embryos and is one of the suggested causes of the low success rates of this approach. Recent study has suggested that adult stem cells may be better donor cells for NT, as their less differentiated state may ease epigenetic reprogramming by the oocyte (Kato et al. 2004 Biol. Reprod. 70, 415-418). In the present study, we investigated the expression profile of some selected genes involved in the development of the pre-implantation embryos of in vivo- and NT-derived origin using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and porcine fetal fibroblasts (pFF) as donors. Isolated population of MSCs from porcine bone marrow were characterized by cell-surface antigen profile (CD13pos, CD105pos, CD45neg, and CD133neg) and by their extensive consistent differentiation to multiple mesenchymal lineages (adipocytic, osteocytic and chondrocytic) under controlled in vitro conditions (Pittenger et al. 1999 Science 284, 143-147). Primary cultures of pFF from a female fetus at <30 days of gestation were established. for NT, donor cells at 3-4 passages were employed. Embryos cloned from MSCs showed enhanced developmental potential compared to pFF cloned embryos, indicated by higher rates of blastocyst formation (15.3% � 4.8 and 9.0% � 3.9, respectively) and total cell number (31.5 � 7.2 and 20.5 � 5.4, respectively) in Day 7 blastocysts. Total RNA was extracted from pools (triplicates) of 10 embryos each of 8-cell, morula, and blastocyst stages of in vivo and NT origin using Dynabeads� mRNA DIRECT" kit (Dynal, Oslo, Norway). Reverse transcription was performed with a Superscript" III cDNA synthesis kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Real-time PCR was performed on a Light cycler� using FastStart DNA Master SYBR Green I (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). The expression profiles of genes involved in transcription (Oct-4, Stat3), DNA methylation (Dnmt1), de novo methylation (Dnmt3a), histone deacetylation (Hdac2), anti-apoptosis (Bcl-xL), and embryonic growth (Igf2r) were determined. The mRNA of H2a was employed to normalize the levels. Significant differences (P < 0.05) in the relative abundance of Stat3, Dnmt1, Dnmt3a, Bcl2, and Igf2r were observed in pFF NT embryos compared with in vivo-produced embryos, whereas embryos derived from MSCs showed expression patterns similar to those of in vivo-produced embryos. However, Oct-4 and Hdac2 revealed similar expression profiles in NT- and in vivo-produced embryos. These results indicate that MSC-derived NT embryos had enhanced embryonic development and their gene expression pattern more closely resembled that of in vivo-produced embryos. Hence, less differentiated MSCs may have a more flexible potential in improving the efficiency of the porcine NT technique.
