In order to provide a sufficient number of cells for clinical use, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) must be cultured for long-term expansion, which inevitably triggers cellular senescence. Although the small size of MSCs is known as a critical determinant of their fate, the main regulators of stem cell senescence and the underlying signaling have not been addressed. Umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs (UCB-MSCs) were obtained using size-isolation methods and then cultured with control or small cells to investigate the major factors that modulate MSC senescence. Cytokine array data suggested that the secretion of interukin-8 (IL-8) or growth-regulated oncogene-alpha (GROa) by senescent cells was markedly inhibited during incubation of small cells along with suppression of cognate receptor (C-X-C motif chemokine receptor2, CXCR2) via blockade of the autocrine/paracrine positive loop. Moreover, signaling via toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and TLR5, both pattern recognition receptors, drove cellular senescence of MSCs, but was inhibited in small cells. The activation of TLRs (2 and 5) through ligand treatment induced a senescent phenotype in small cells. Collectively, our data suggest that small cell from UCB-MSCs exhibit delayed cellular senescence by inhibiting the process of TLR signaling-mediated senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) activation.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising cells for regenerative medicine therapies because they can differentiate towards multiple cell lineages. However, the occurrence of cellular senescence and the acquiring of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) limit their clinical use. Since the transcription factor TWIST1 influences expansion of MSCs, its role in regulating cellular senescence was investigated. The present study demonstrated that silencing of TWIST1 in MSCs increased the occurrence of senescence, characterised by a SASP profile different from irradiation-induced senescent MSCs. Knowing that senescence alters cellular metabolism, cellular bioenergetics was monitored by using the Seahorse XF apparatus. Both TWIST1-silencing-induced and irradiation-induced senescent MSCs had a higher oxygen consumption rate compared to control MSCs, while TWIST1-silencing-induced senescent MSCs had a low extracellular acidification rate compared to irradiation-induced senescent MSCs. Overall, data indicated how TWIST1 regulation influenced senescence in MSCs and that TWIST1 silencing-induced senescence was characterised by a specific SASP profile and metabolic state.

Purpose: Iron oxide based magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) are versatile tools in biology and medicine. Adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC) and Wharton Jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSC) are currently tested in different strategies for regenerative regenerative medicine (RM) purposes. Their superiority compared to other mesenchymal stem cell consists in larger availability, and superior proliferative and differentiation potential. Magnetic field (MF) exposure of MNP-loaded ADSC has been proposed as a method to deliver mechanical stimulation for increasing conversion to musculoskeletal lineages. In this study, we investigated comparatively chondrogenic conversion of ADSC-MNP and WJMSC with or without MF exposure in order to identify the most appropriate cell source and differentiation protocol for future cartilage engineering strategies.Methods: Human primary ADSC and WJMSC from various donors were loaded with proprietary uncoated MNP. The in vitro effect on proliferation and cellular senescence (beta galactosidase assay) in long term culture was assessed. In vitro chondrogenic differentiation in pellet culture system, with or without MF exposure, was assessed using pellet histology (Safranin O staining) as well as quantitative evaluation of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) deposition per cell.Results: ADSC-MNP complexes displayed superior proliferative capability and decreased senescence after long term (28 days) culture in vitro compared to non-loaded ADSC and to WJMSC-MNP. Significant increase in chondrogenesis conversion in terms of GAG/cell ratio could be observed in ADSC-MNP. MF exposure increased glycosaminoglycan deposition in MNP-loaded ADSC, but not in WJMSC.Conclusion: ADSC-MNP display decreased cellular senescence and superior chondrogenic capability in vitro compared to non-loaded cells as well as to WJMSC-MNP. MF exposure further increases ADSC-MNP chondrogenesis in ADSC, but not in WJMSC. Loading ADSC with MNP can derive a successful procedure for obtaining improved chondrogenesis in ADSC. Further in vivo studies are needed to confirm the utility of ADSC-MNP complexes for cartilage engineering.

AbstractMesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are promising cells for regenerative medicine therapies, because they can differentiate towards multiple cell lineages. However, heterogeneity in differentiation capacity is one of the main drawbacks that limit their use clinically. Differences in the occurrence of cellular senescence and in the expression of the senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in MSC populations contribute to their heterogeneity. Here, we show the involvement of TWIST1 expression in the regulation of MSC senescence, demonstrating that silencing of TWIST1 in MSCs increased the occurrence of senescence. These senescent MSCs had a SASP that was different from irradiation-induced senescent MSCs. In addition, metabolic evaluation performed by the Seahorse XF apparatus showed that both TWIST1 silencing-induced and irradiation-induced senescent MSCs had a higher oxygen consumption compared to control MSCs, while TWIST1 silencing-induced senescent MSCs had a low extracellular acidification rate compared to the irradiation-induced senescent MSCs. Overall, our data indicate how TWIST1 regulation influences senescence in human MSCs and that TWIST1 silencing-induced senescence is characterized by a specific expression of the SASP and the metabolic state.

A fundamental understanding of senescence in human amnion mesenchymal stem cells (HAMCs) is crucial for its application in cellular therapy. Previous findings strongly support that HAMCs undergoes cellular senescence after long term in-vitro culture, with evidence of significant morphological changes and the presence of the senescent associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) marker. The telomere length and the telomerase activity have been linked with cellular aging and they are important in regulating cell proliferation. In addition, p53 gene has been associated with cell senescence. The aim of this study was to investigate the telomerase activity, telomere length in senescent HAMCs, and to detect p53 mutations in these cells. Samples were obtained from amnion placenta and then cultured for long term. Prolong-cultured HAMCs was isolated at passages 5, 10 and 15 and then analysed via telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP), telomere length assay and p53 mutation detection assay. The results showed that after long term culture of HAMCs, there was a decrease in telomere length and telomerase activity from passages 5, 10 to 15. Telomerase controls the telomere’s length which maintains the cells proliferation. The decrease of telomere length and telomerase activity may suggest that the proliferation of HAMCs has slowed down due to HAMCs entering senescence after long term culture. P53 mutation detection study indicated that HAMCs at all passage did not have altered sequences. Thus, the cells did not undergo uncontrollable replication due to the effect of long-term culture. Further studies on senescence in HAMCs will be assessed by investigating the expression level of p53, p21, p16, pRB and GADD45 genes in long term culture of HAMCs via RT-qPCR. The findings will help us understand the associations between gene expressions and the process of senescence

Abstract Background Although the immunomodulatory properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been highlighted as a new therapy for autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the disease-specific characteristics of MSCs derived from elderly RA patients are not well understood. Methods We established MSCs derived from synovial fluid (SF) from age-matched early (average duration of the disease: 1.7 years) and long-standing (average duration of the disease: 13.8 years) RA patients (E-/L-SF-MSCs) and then analyzed the MSC characteristics such as stemness, proliferation, cellular senescence, in vitro differentiation, and in vivo immunomodulatory properties. Results The presence of MSC populations in the SF from RA patients was identified. We found that L-SF-MSCs exhibited impaired proliferation, intensified cellular senescence, reduced immunomodulatory properties, and attenuated anti-arthritic capacity in an RA animal model. In particular, E-SF-MSCs demonstrated cellular senescence progression and attenuated immunomodulatory properties similar to those of L-SF-MSC in an RA joint-mimetic milieu due to hypoxia and pro-inflammatory cytokine exposure. Due to a long-term exposure to the chronic inflammatory milieu, cellular senescence, attenuated immunomodulatory properties, and the loss of anti-arthritic potentials were more often identified in SF-MSCs in a long-term RA than early RA. Conclusion We conclude that a chronic RA inflammatory milieu affects the MSC potential. Therefore, this work addresses the importance of understanding MSC characteristics during disease states prior to their application in patients. Graphical abstract
