Overview

MesenCult™ Mesenchymal Stem Cell Stimulatory Supplement (Human) is a standardized, serum-containing supplement for the culture of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MesenCult™ Mesenchymal Stem Cell Stimulatory Supplement (Human) is optimized for the expansion of human mesenchymal stem cells in vitro as well as their enumeration using the colony-forming unit - fibroblast (CFU-F) assay when combined with MesenCult™ MSC Basal Medium (Human). Components are pre-screened to minimize lot-to-lot variability. This supplement is also a component of MesenCult™ Proliferation Kit (Human; Catalog #05411).

Tissue Engineered Esophageal Patch by Mesenchymal Stromal Cells: Optimization of Electrospun Patch Engineering. S. Pisani et al. International journal of molecular sciences 2020 mar

Abstract

Aim of work was to locate a simple, reproducible protocol for uniform seeding and optimal cellularization of biodegradable patch minimizing the risk of structural damages of patch and its contamination in long-term culture. Two seeding procedures are exploited, namely static seeding procedures on biodegradable and biocompatible patches incubated as free floating (floating conditions) or supported by CellCrownTM insert (fixed conditions) and engineered by porcine bone marrow MSCs (p-MSCs). Scaffold prototypes having specific structural features with regard to pore size, pore orientation, porosity, and pore distribution were produced using two different techniques, such as temperature-induced precipitation method and electrospinning technology. The investigation on different prototypes allowed achieving several implementations in terms of cell distribution uniformity, seeding efficiency, and cellularization timing. The cell seeding protocol in stating conditions demonstrated to be the most suitable method, as these conditions successfully improved the cellularization of polymeric patches. Furthermore, the investigation provided interesting information on patches' stability in physiological simulating experimental conditions. Considering the in vitro results, it can be stated that the in vitro protocol proposed for patches cellularization is suitable to achieve homogeneous and complete cellularizations of patch. Moreover, the protocol turned out to be simple, repeatable, and reproducible.
Molecular mechanism underlying the difference in proliferation between placenta-derived and umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells. X. Feng et al. Journal of cellular physiology 2020 jan

Abstract

The placenta and umbilical cord are pre-eminent candidate sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, placenta-derived MSCs (P-MSCs) showed greater proliferation capacity than umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) in our study. We investigated the drivers of this proliferation difference and elucidated the mechanisms of proliferation regulation. Proteomic profiling and Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment were conducted to identify candidate proteins that may influence proliferation. Using lentiviral or small interfering RNA infection, we established overexpression and knockdown models and observed changes in cell proliferation to examine whether a relationship exists between the candidate proteins and proliferation capacity. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blot analysis, and immunofluorescence assays were conducted to elucidate the mechanisms underlying proliferation. Six candidate proteins were selected based on the results of proteomic profiling and GO functional enrichment. Through further validation, yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) and $\beta$-catenin were confirmed to affect MSCs proliferation rates. YAP1 and $\beta$-catenin showed increased nuclear colocalization during cell expansion. YAP1 overexpression significantly enhanced proliferation capacity and upregulated the expression of both $\beta$-catenin and the transcriptional targets of Wnt signaling, CCND1, and c-MYC, whereas silencing $\beta$-catenin attenuated this influence. We found that YAP1 directly interacts with $\beta$-catenin in the nucleus to form a transcriptional YAP/$\beta$-catenin/TCF4 complex. Our study revealed that YAP1 and $\beta$-catenin caused the different proliferation capacities of P-MSCs and UC-MSCs. Mechanism analysis showed that YAP1 stabilized the nuclear $\beta$-catenin protein, and also triggered the Wnt/$\beta$-catenin pathway, promoting proliferation.
EBF1-deficient bone marrow stroma elicits persistent changes in HSC potential. M. Derecka et al. Nature immunology 2020

Abstract

Crosstalk between mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is essential for hematopoietic homeostasis and lineage output. Here, we investigate how transcriptional changes in bone marrow (BM) MSCs result in long-lasting effects on HSCs. Single-cell analysis of Cxcl12-abundant reticular (CAR) cells and PDGFR$\alpha$+Sca1+ (P$\alpha$S) cells revealed an extensive cellular heterogeneity but uniform expression of the transcription factor gene Ebf1. Conditional deletion of Ebf1 in these MSCs altered their cellular composition, chromatin structure and gene expression profiles, including the reduced expression of adhesion-related genes. Functionally, the stromal-specific Ebf1 inactivation results in impaired adhesion of HSCs, leading to reduced quiescence and diminished myeloid output. Most notably, HSCs residing in the Ebf1-deficient niche underwent changes in their cellular composition and chromatin structure that persist in serial transplantations. Thus, genetic alterations in the BM niche lead to long-term functional changes of HSCs.
