Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that are currently being investigated in a wide variety of clinical trials for their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties as well as their osteogenic and chondrogenic capabilities. However, there are considerable interdonor variability and heterogeneity of MSC populations, making it challenging to compare different products. Furthermore, proliferation, differentiation, and immunomodulation of MSCs decrease with aging and ex vivo expansion. The sirtuins have emerged as a class of protein deacylases involved in aging, oxidative stress, and metabolism. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is the major mitochondrial deacetylase involved in reducing oxidative stress while preserving oxidative metabolism, and its levels have been shown to decrease with age. This study investigated the role of SIRT3 in MSC differentiation and aging. As MSCs were expanded ex vivo, SIRT3 levels decreased. In addition, SIRT3 depletion reduced MSC differentiation into adipocytes and osteoblasts. Furthermore, overexpression of SIRT3 in later-passage MSCs reduced aging-related senescence, reduced oxidative stress, and enhanced their ability to differentiate. These data suggest that overexpressing SIRT3 might represent a strategy to increase the quality and quantity of MSCs utilized for clinical applications.

Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells present in most fetal and adult tissues.Ex vivoculture-expanded MSCs are being investigated for tissue repair and immune modulation, but their full clinical potential is far from realization. Here we review the role of oxidative stress in MSC biology, as their longevity and functions are affected by oxidative stress. In general, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibit MSC proliferation, increase senescence, enhance adipogenic but reduce osteogenic differentiation, and inhibit MSC immunomodulation. Furthermore, aging, senescence, and oxidative stress reduce theirex vivoexpansion, which is critical for their clinical applications. Modulation of sirtuin expression and activity may represent a method to reduce oxidative stress in MSCs. These findings have important implications in the clinical utility of MSCs for degenerative and immunological based conditions. Further study of oxidative stress in MSCs is imperative in order to enhance MSCex vivoexpansion andin vivoengraftment, function, and longevity.

Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are considered a great alternative source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Unlike bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs), ASCs can be retrieved in high numbers from lipoaspirate, a by-product of liposuction procedures. Given that ASCs represent an easily accessible and abundant source of multipotent cells, ASCs have garnered attention and curiosity from both scientific and clinical communities for their potential in clinical applications. Furthermore, their unique immunobiology and secretome are attractive therapeutic properties. A decade since the discovery of a stem cell reservoir residing within adipose tissue, ASC-based clinical trials have grown over the years around the world along with assessments made on their safety and efficacy. With the progress of ASCs into clinical applications, the aim towards producing clinical-grade ASCs becomes increasingly important. Several countries have recognised the growing industry of cell therapies and have developed regulatory frameworks to assure their safety. With more research efforts made to understand their effects in both scientific and clinical settings, ASCs hold great promise as a future therapeutic strategy in treating a wide variety of diseases. Therefore, this review seeks to highlight the clinical applicability of ASCs as well as their progress in clinical trials across various medical disciplines.

Vessels cultured ex vivo maintain viability and vasoactivity for weeks and can remodel in response to mechanical cues. When cultured in the presence of 5% CO2/balance air veins develop neointimal hyperplasia (IH) while arteries do not suggesting that exposure to significant increases in pO2 levels might stimulate IH. Neointimal hyperplasia (IH) is a known mechanism by which saphenous veins have a decreased patency compared to arterial conduits when used for coronary artery bypass. We sought to explore the role of oxygen tension and oxidative stress in IH. Test the hypothesis that exposure of human saphenous veins (HSV) to arterial pO2 stimulates IH via ROS-mediated pathways. Almost 40 HSV remnants acquired following CABG were cultured ex vivo with arterial (~95mmHg) pO2 or venous (~40mmHg) pO2 for 14 days. All differences reported have a p<0.05 via Student’s t-test. Results: HSV cultured at arterial pO2 exhibited significant IH as evidenced by disruption of the IEL, invasion of cells from the media, and a 2.8-fold greater intimal area than fresh HSV, a 5.8-fold increase in cell proliferation compared to fresh HSV, increased ROS levels and oxidative stress as evidenced by 4-fold increase in 4-HNE level (a marker of oxidative stress), increased DHE staining (indicative of superoxide generation), and a progressive increase in total ROS levels with time as assessed by DCF fluorescence, and a 3-fold increase in phosphorylated p38-MAPK, which is implicated in SMC proliferation. In stark contrast vessels culture at arterial pO2, HSV cultured with venous pO2 did not develop increased IH and were indistinguishable from fresh vessels with respect to proliferation, markers of oxidative stress, and MAPK expression levels. Supplementing culture medium with antioxidants including Tiron or NAC blocked the pO2-induced changes. These data indicate that exposure to arterial pO2 increases cellular proliferation and stimulates IH, potentially via oxidative stress or ROS signaling and also suggest that exposure to elevated arterial pO2 might stimulate pathological remodeling of veins grafted into the arterial circulation.

More than 500 clinical trials are using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the world to treat some different diseases. The safety of expanded MSC transplantation is the most important thing to ensure that this therapy can become the routine treatment for human diseases. More than five MSCs based stem cell drug products are approved at various countries demonstrated that expanded MSCs are safe in both local injection and transfusion. Moreover, some recent reports for 5 and 10 years followed-up clinical trials using expanded MSCs confirmed that there is not different tumorigenesis between the patients with and without expanded MSC transplantation. This letter aims to provide some evidences about the safety of expanded MSCs in clinical applications. However, the MSC quality should be stritcly controlled during the in vitro MSC expansion.

Abstract Background: Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSC) have been widely used for their therapeutic properties in many clinical applications including myocardial infarction. Despite promising preclinical results and evidences of safety and efficacy in phases I/ II, inconsistencies in phase III trials have been reported. In a previous study, we have shown using MSC derived from the bone marrow of PPARβ/δ (Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors β/δ) knockout mice that the acute cardioprotective properties of MSC during the first hour of reperfusion are PPARβ/δ-dependent but not related to the anti-inflammatory effect of MSC. However, the role of the modulation of PPARβ/δ expression on MSC cardioprotective and anti-apoptotic properties has never been investigated. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of PPARβ/δ modulation (inhibition or activation) in MSC therapeutic properties in vitro and ex vivo in an experimental model of myocardial infarction.Methods and results: Naïve MSC and MSC pharmacologically activated or inhibited for PPARβ/δ were challenged with H202. Through specific DNA fragmentation quantification and qRT-PCR experiments, we evidenced in vitro an increased resistance to oxidative stress in MSC pre-treated by the PPARβ/δ agonist GW0742 versus naïve MSC. In addition, PPARβ/δ-priming allowed to reveal the anti-apoptotic effect of MSC on co-cultured cardiomyocytes. When injected during reperfusion in an ex vivo heart model of myocardial infarction, PPARβ/δ-primed MSC at a dose of 3.75x105 MSC/heart provided the same cardioprotective efficiency than 7.5x105 naïve MSC, identified as the optimal dose in our model. These enhanced short-term cardioprotective effects were associated with an increase in both anti-apoptotic effects and the number of MSC detected in the left ventricular wall at 1 hour of reperfusion. By contrast, inhibition of PPARβ/δ before their administration in post-ischemic hearts during reperfusion decreased their cardioprotective effects. Conclusion: Altogether these results revealed that PPARβ/δ-primed MSC exhibit an increased resistance to oxidative stress and enhanced anti-apoptotic properties on cardiac cells in vitro. PPARβ/δ-priming appears as an innovative strategy to enhance the cardioprotective effects of MSC and to decrease the injected doses. These results could be of major interest to improve MSC efficacy for the cardioprotection of injured myocardium in AMI patients.

Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is a deacetylase involved in the development of many inflammation-related diseases including liver fibrosis. Withaferin A (WFA) is a bioactive constituent derived from the Withania somnifera plant, which has extensive pharmacological activities; however, little is known about the regulatory role of SIRT3 in the WFA-induced antifibrogenic effect. The current study is aimed at investigating the role of SIRT3 in WFA-induced antioxidant effects in liver fibrosis. Our study verified that WFA attenuated platelet-derived growth factor BB- (PDGF-BB-) induced liver fibrosis and promoted PDGF-BB-induced SIRT3 activity and expression in JS1 cells. SIRT3 silencing attenuated the antifibrogenic and antioxidant effects of WFA in activated JS1 cells. Moreover, WFA inhibited carbon tetrachloride- (CCl4-) induced liver injury, collagen deposition, and fibrosis; increased the SIRT3 expression; and suppressed the CCl4-induced oxidative stress in fibrotic livers of C57/BL6 mice. Furthermore, the antifibrogenic and antioxidant effects of WFA could be available in CCl4-induced WT (129S1/SvImJ) mice but were unavailable in CCl4-induced SIRT3 knockout (KO) mice. Our study suggested that WFA inhibited liver fibrosis through the inhibition of oxidative stress in a SIRT3-dependent manner. WFA could be a potential compound for the treatment of liver fibrosis.
