ABSTRACT

Stem and progenitor cells are characterized by peculiar mechanisms of hormonal regulation. Here we describe a protocol of analysis of hormonal cross-talk in adipose tissue derived multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Specifically, cells were treated by a "sensitizing" hormone/neuromediator followed by the measurement of cellular Ca2+ response to the "readout" hormone after various time intervals. This protocol was successfully used in studies demonstrating a permissive effect of noradrenaline and 5-HT on MSCs sensitivity to noradrenaline, which is a predictive marker of the development of obesity-associated arterial hypertension.

ABSTRACT

Adipose tissue is one of the tissues in the human body that is renewed during the whole life. Dysregulation of this process leads to conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. The key role in maintaining the healthy state of adipose tissue is played by a specific group of postnatal stem cells called multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). They are both precursors for new adipocytes and key paracrine regulators of adipose tissue homeostasis. The activity of MSCs is tightly adjusted to the needs of the organism. To ensure such coordination, MSCs are put under strict regulation which is realized through a wide variety of signaling mechanisms. They control aspects of MSC activity such as proliferation, differentiation, and production of signal molecules via alteration of MSC sensitivity to hormonal stimuli. In this regard, MSCs use all the main mechanisms of hormonal sensitivity regulation observed in differentiated cells, but at the same time, several unique regulatory mechanisms have been found in MSCs. In the presented review, we will cover these unique mechanisms as well as specifics of common mechanisms of regulation of hormonal sensitivity in stem cells.

ABSTRACT

The potential rapid advance of regenerative medicine was obstructed by findings that stimulation of human body regeneration is a much tougher mission than expected after the first cultures of stem and progenitor cells were established. In this mini review, we focus on the ambiguous role of growth factors in regeneration, discuss their evolutionary importance, and highlight them as the "cure and the cause" for successful or failed attempts to drive human body regeneration. We draw the reader's attention to evolutionary changes that occurred in growth factors and their receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and how they established and shaped response to injury in metazoans. Discussing the well-known pleiotropy of growth factors, we propose an evolutionary rationale for their functioning in this specific way and focus on growth factors and RTKs as an amazing system that defines the multicellular nature of animals and highlight their participation in regeneration. We pinpoint potential bottlenecks in their application for human tissue regeneration and show their role in fibrosis/regeneration balance. This communication invites the reader to re-evaluate the functions of growth factors as keepers of natively existing communications between elements of tissue, which makes them a fundamental component of a successful regenerative strategy. Finally, we draw attention to the epigenetic landscape that may facilitate or block regeneration and give a brief insight into how it may define the outcome of injury.

ABSTRACT

Multipotent stromal cells (MSC) demonstrate remarkable functional heterogeneity; however, its molecular mechanisms remain largely obscure. In this study, we explored MSC response to hormones, which activate Gs-protein / cyclic AMP (cAMP) / protein kinase A (PKA) dependent signaling, at the single cell level using genetically encoded biosensor PKA-Spark. For the first time, we demonstrated that about half of cultured MSCs are not able to activate the cAMP/PKA pathway, possibly due to the limited availability of adenylyl cyclases. Using this approach, we showed that MSC subpopulations responding to various hormones largely overlapped, and the share of responding cells did not exceed 40%. Using clonal analysis, we showed that signaling heterogeneity of MSC could be formed de novo within 2 weeks.
