Abstract (Expand)

Signaling through the AKT and ERK pathways controls cell proliferation. However, the integrated regulation of this multistep process, involving signal processing, cell growth and cell cycle progression, … is poorly understood. Here, we study different hematopoietic cell types, in which AKT and ERK signaling is triggered by erythropoietin (Epo). Although these cell types share the molecular network topology for pro-proliferative Epo signaling, they exhibit distinct proliferative responses. Iterating quantitative experiments and mathematical modeling, we identify two molecular sources for cell type-specific proliferation. First, cell type-specific protein abundance patterns cause differential signal flow along the AKT and ERK pathways. Second, downstream regulators of both pathways have differential effects on proliferation, suggesting that protein synthesis is rate-limiting for faster cycling cells while slower cell cycles are controlled at the G1-S progression. The integrated mathematical model of Epo-driven proliferation explains cell type-specific effects of targeted AKT and ERK inhibitors and faithfully predicts, based on the protein abundance, anti-proliferative effects of inhibitors in primary human erythroid progenitor cells. Our findings suggest that the effectiveness of targeted cancer therapy might become predictable from protein abundance.

Abstract (Expand)

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from human bone marrow serve as a resource for cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine. Clinical applications require standardized protocols according to good … manufacturing practice (GMP) guidelines. Donor variability as well as the intrinsic heterogeneity of MSC populations must be taken into consideration. The composition of the culture medium is a key factor in successful MSC expansion. The aim of this study was to comparatively assess the efficiency of xeno-free human platelet lysate (HPL)-based cell expansion with two commercially available media-StemPro MSC SFM CTS (for human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications) and MSCGM (non-GMP-compliant, for research only)-in an academic setting as the first optimization step toward GMP-compliant manufacturing. We report the feasibility of MSC expansion up to the yielded cell number with all three media. MSCs exhibited the typical fibroblastoid morphology, with distinct differences in cell size depending on the medium. The differentiation capacity and characteristic immunophenotype were confirmed for all MSC populations. Proliferation was highest using StemPro MSC SFM CTS, whereas HPL medium was more cost-effective and its composition could be adjusted individually according to the respective needs. In summary, we present a comprehensive evaluation of GMP-compatible culture media for MSC expansion. Both StemPro and HPL medium proved to be suitable for clinical application and allowed sufficient cell proliferation. Specific differences were observed and should be considered according to the intended use. This study provides a detailed cost analysis and tools that may be helpful for the establishment of GMP-compliant MSC expansion.

Abstract (Expand)

In previous studies human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) maintained the "stemness" of human hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) through direct cell-cell contact in two-dimensional co-culture … systems. We establish a three-dimensional (3D) co-culture system based on a custom-made chip, the 3(D)-KITChip, as an in vitro model system of the human hematopoietic stem cell niche. This array of up to 625 microcavities, with 300 mum size in each orientation, was inserted into a microfluidic bioreactor. The microcavities of the 3(D)-KITChip were inoculated with human bone marrow MSCs together with umbilical cord blood HPCs. MSCs used the microcavities as a scaffold to build a complex 3D mesh. HPCs were distributed three-dimensionally inside this MSC network and formed ss-catenin- and N-cadherin-based intercellular junctions to the surrounding MSCs. Using RT(2)-PCR and western blots, we demonstrate that a proportion of HPCs maintained the expression of CD34 throughout a culture period of 14 days. In colony-forming unit assays, the hematopoietic stem cell plasticity remained similar after 14 days of bioreactor co-culture, whereas monolayer co-cultures showed increasing signs of HPC differentiation and loss of stemness. These data support the notion that the 3D microenvironment created within the microcavity array preserves vital stem cell functions of HPCs more efficiently than conventional co-culture systems.

Mesenchymal stromal cells inhibit proliferation of virus-specific CD8(+) T cells.

SBEpo - Systems Biology of Erythropoietin

Abstract (Expand)

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) possess broad immunomodulatory capacities that are currently investigated for potential clinical application in treating autoimmune disorders. Third-party MSCs suppress … alloantigen-induced proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells providing the rationale for clinical use in graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). We confirmed that MSCs strongly inhibited proliferation of CD8(+) T cells in a mixed lymphocyte reaction. However, MSCs also suppressed proliferation of T cells specifically recognizing cytomegalovirus (CMV) and influenza virus. Inhibition was dose dependent, but independent of the culture medium. MSCs inhibited proliferation of specific CD8(+) T cells and the release of IFN-gamma by specific CD8(+) T cells for immunodominant HLA-A2- and HLA-B7- restricted antigen epitopes derived from CMV phosphoprotein 65 and influenza matrix protein. This is in contrast to a recently reported scenario where MSCs exert differential effects on alloantigen and virus-specific T cells potentially having an impact on surveillance and prophylaxis of patients treated by MSCs.

Abstract (Expand)

BACKGROUND AIMS: Human mesenchymal stem or stromal cells (MSCs) represent a potential resource not only for regenerative medicine but also for immunomodulatory cell therapies. The application of different … MSC culture protocols has significantly hampered the comparability of experimental and clinical data from different laboratories and has posed a major obstacle for multicenter clinical trials. Manufacturing of cell products for clinical application in the European Community must be conducted in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice and requires a manufacturing license. In Germany, the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut as the Federal Authority for Vaccines and Biomedicines is critically involved in the approval process. METHODS: This report summarizes a consensus meeting between researchers, clinicians and regulatory experts on standard quality requirements for MSC production. RESULTS: The strategy for quality control testing depends on the product's cell composition, the manufacturing process and the indication and target patient population. Important quality criteria in this sense are, among others, the immunophenotype of the cells, composition of the culture medium and the risk for malignant transformation, as well as aging and the immunosuppressive potential of the manufactured MSCs. CONCLUSIONS: This position paper intends to provide relevant information to interested parties regarding these criteria to foster the development of scientifically valid and harmonized quality standards and to support approval of MSC-based investigational medicinal products.

Abstract (Expand)

The interaction between the stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1alpha, CXCL12) and its chemokine receptor CXCR4 has been reported to regulate stem cell migration, mobilization and homing. The … CXCR4 antagonist plerixafor is highly efficient in mobilizing hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). However, the precise regulatory mechanisms governing the CXCR4/SDF-1alpha axis between the bone marrow niche and HPCs remain unclear. In this study, we quantify the impact of plerixafor on the interaction between human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and human CD34+ HPCs. An assessment of SDF-1alpha levels in the supernatant of MSC cultures revealed that exposure to plerixafor led to a transient increase but had no long-term effect. In Transwell experiments, we observed that the addition of SDF-1alpha significantly stimulated HPC migration; this stimulation was almost completely antagonized by the addition of plerixafor, confirming the direct impact of the CXCR4/SDF-1alpha interaction on the migration capacity of HPCs. We also developed a new microstructural niche model to determine the chemotactic sensitivity of HPCs. Time-lapse microscopy demonstrated that HPCs migrated actively along an SDF-1alpha gradient within the microchannels and the quantitative assessment of the required minimum gradient initiating this chemotaxis revealed a surprisingly high sensitivity of HPCs. These data demonstrate the fine-tuned balance of the CXCR4/SDF-1alpha axis and the synergistic effects of plerixafor on HPCs and MSCs, which most likely represent the key mechanisms for the consecutive mobilization of HPCs from the bone marrow niche into the circulating blood.

Differences between healthy hematopoietic progenitors and leukemia cells with respect to CD44 mediated rolling versus adherence behavior on hyaluronic acid coated surfaces.

SBEpo - Systems Biology of Erythropoietin

Abstract (Expand)

We previously demonstrated that leukemia cell lines expressing CD44 and hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) from umbilical cord blood (CB) showed rolling on hyaluronic acid (HA)-coated surfaces under … physiological shear stress. In the present study, we quantitatively assessed the interaction of HPC derived from CB, mobilized peripheral blood (mPB) and bone marrow (BM) from healthy donors, as well as primary leukemia blasts from PB and BM of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with HA. We have demonstrated that HPC derived from healthy donors showed relative homogeneous rolling and adhesion to HA. In contrast, highly diverse behavioral patterns were found for leukemia blasts under identical conditions. The monoclonal CD44 antibody (clone BU52) abrogated the shear stress-induced rolling of HPC and leukemia blasts, confirming the significance of CD44 in this context. On the other hand, the immobile adhesion of leukemia blasts to the HA-coated surface was, in some cases, not or incompletely inhibited by BU52. The latter property was associated with non-responsiveness to induction chemotherapy and subsequently poor clinical outcome.

Abstract (Expand)

BACKGROUND AIMS: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) resemble an essential component of the bone marrow niche for maintenance of stemness of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). Perturbation of the C-X-C … chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4)/stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha) axis by plerixafor (AMD3100) mobilizes HPCs from their niche; however, little is known about how plerixafor affects interaction of HPCs and MSCs in vitro. METHODS: We monitored cell division kinetics, surface expression of CD34 and CXCR4, migration behavior and colony-forming frequency of HPCs on co-culture with MSCs either with or without exposure to plerixafor. RESULTS: Co-culture with MSCs significantly accelerated cell division kinetics of HPCs. Despite this, the proportion of CD34(+) cells was significantly increased on co-culture, whereas the expression of CXCR4 was reduced. In addition, co-culture with MSCs led to significantly higher colony-forming capacity and enhanced migration rate of HPCs compared with mono-culture conditions. The composition of MSC sub-populations-and conversely their hematopoiesis supportive functions-may be influenced by culture conditions. We compared the stromal function of MSCs isolated with three different culture media. Overall, the supporting potentials of these MSC preparations were quite similar. Perturbation by the CXCR4-antagonist plerixafor reduced the cell division kinetics of HPCs on co-culture with MSCs. However, the progenitor cell potential of the HPCs as reflected by colony-forming capacity was not affected by plerixafor. CONCLUSIONS: These results support the notion that the CXCR4/SDF-1alpha axis is critical for HPC-MSC interaction with regard to migration, adhesion and regulation of proliferation but not for maintenance of primitive progenitor cells.
