Infarction Volume

Embryonic mesenchymal stem cells (eMSCs) were first derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) overexpressing green fluorescence protein (GFP). They expressed CD29, CD44, CD73, CD105, CD166 and nestin, but not CD34, CD45, CD106 SSEA-4 or Oct3/4. Twenty million eMSCs in 1mL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) were injected into the femoral veins of spontaneously hypertensive rats after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. The migration and differentiation of the eMSCs in the ischemic brain were analyzed. The results revealed that eMSCs migrated to the infarction region and differentiated into neurons, which were positive for β-tubulin III, microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), HuC, neurofilament and human nuclear antibody, and to vascular endothelial cells, which were positive for von Willebrand factor (vWF). The transplanted cells survived in the infarction region for at least 4 weeks. Adhesive removal function significantly improved in the first week after cell transplantation, and rotarod motor function significantly improved starting from the second week. The infarction volume in the eMSC group was significantly smaller than that in the PBS control group at 4 weeks after infusion. The results of this study show that when administered intravenously, eMSCs differentiated into neuronal and endothelial cells, reduced the infarction volume, and improved behavioral functional outcome significantly in transient focal cerebral ischemia.

Abstract Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) could potentially provide a renewable source of different types of cells for cell therapy applications. Recently, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been derived from hESCs either through co-culturing with murine OP9 bone marrow stromal cell line or directly from hESCs without co-culturing with OP9 cells. Although the latter methodology is clinically advantageous over co-culturing with an animal cell layer those mesenchymal cells were reported to be positive for SSEA4. SSEA4 is a marker of undifferentiated hESCs and thus the presence of this marker on hESC-derived cells could potentially be problematic for clinical applications. We have recently achieved a novel and reproducible methodology for deriving a pure population of SSEA4-/CD73+ MSCs from federally approved hESC lines H1 and H9. To initiate the differentiation of hESCs to MSCs, we cultured undifferentiated hESCs on matrigel plates in murine embryonic fibroblast conditioned media with media changes every 3 days. Under these culture conditions a portion of embryonic stem cells differentiated into fibroblast looking cells. Through a multi-step process which involved the use of a culture methodology similar to what is being used to culture bone marrow (BM)-derived MSCs, and passaging cultured cells at defined time points we were able to derive a pure population of cells that were uniformly positive for MSC marker CD73 in about a 4-weeks period. These cells had fibroblast/mesenchymal looking morphology, and expressed cell surface marker antigens similar to what has been reported for adult human BM-derived MSCs: they are positive for CD29, CD44, CD54, CD71, CD90, glycophorin A, CD105, and were negative for hematopoietic markers such as CD34 and CD45. Similar to adult BM-derived MSCs these cells express HLA class-I antigens but not class-II antigens. Using established differentiation protocols we could differentiate the hESC-derived CD73+ MSCs into adipocytes, osteocytes, and chondrocytes as verified by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR assays. So far we have grown these CD73+ MSCs up to passages 15–18. These cells retained their differentiation potential, and were karotypically normal when tested at passage 12. Most importantly, we did not observe any MSCs that were double positive for CD73 and SSEA4 antigen at any time point during our experiments. MSCs from a variety of fetal and adult sources are in various stages of clinical trials with some encouraging preliminary results. Our hESC-derived MSCs that are very similar to adult BM-derived MSCs regarding their growth and morphologic properties, immunophenotypic characteristics, differentiation potential, and importantly are devoid of hESC marker SSEA4 could potentially provide a novel source of MSCs for clinical applications.
