ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: One of the obstacles to autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is obtaining a large quantity of chondrocytes without depletion of their properties. The conditioned medium (CM) from different subpopulations of stem cells (mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)) could be a gamechanger. MSCs' potential is related to the donor's health and age, which could be omitted when, as a source, iPSCs are used. There is a lack of data regarding their use in the chondrocyte culture expansion. Thus, we wanted to verify whether iPSC-CM could be beneficial for the cell culture of primary chondrocyte cells. METHODS: We added the iPSC-CMs from GPCCi001-A and ND 41658*H cells to the culture of primary chondrocyte cell lines isolated from OA patients (n = 6) for other two passages. The composition of the CM was evaluated using Luminex technology. Then, we analysed the senescence, proliferation rate and using flow cytometry: viability, distribution of cell cycle phases, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and double-strand breaks. The cartilage-related markers were evaluated using Western blot and immunofluorescence. Additionally, a three-dimensional cell culture was used to determine the potential to form cartilage particles. RESULTS: iPSC-CM increased proliferation and diminished cell ROS production and senescence. CM influenced the cartilage-related protein expression and promoted the growth of cartilage particles. The cell exposed to CM did not lose the ECM proteins, suggesting the chondroprotective effect for prolonged culture time. CONCLUSION: Our preliminary results suggest a beneficial effect on maintaining chondrocyte biology during in vitro expansion.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The approaches currently used in osteoarthritis (OA) are mainly short-term solutions with unsatisfactory outcomes. Cell-based therapies are still controversial (in terms of the sources of cells and the results) and require strict culture protocol, quality control, and may have side-effects. A distinct population of stromal cells has an interesting secretome composition that is underrated and commonly ends up as biological waste. Their unique properties could be used to improve the existing techniques due to protective and anti-ageing properties. SCOPE OF REVIEW: In this review, we seek to outline the advantages of the use of conditioned media (CM) and exosomes, which render them superior to other cell-based methods, and to summarise current information on the composition of CM and their effect on chondrocytes. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS: CM are obtainable from a variety of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) sources, such as adipose tissue, bone marrow and umbilical cord, which is significant to their composition. The components present in CMs include proteins, cytokines, growth factors, chemokines, lipids and ncRNA with a variety of functions. In most in vitro and in vivo studies CM from MSCs had a beneficial effect in enhance processes associated with chondrocyte OA pathomechanism. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: This review summarises the information available in the literature on the function of components most commonly detected in MSC-conditioned media, as well as the effect of CM on OA chondrocytes in in vitro culture. It also highlights the need to standardise protocols for obtaining CM, and to conduct clinical trials to transfer the effects obtained in vitro to human subjects.

ABSTRACT

The development of induced pluripotent stem cells has brought unlimited possibilities to the field of regenerative medicine. This could be ideal for treating osteoarthritis and other skeletal diseases, because the current procedures tend to be short-term solutions. The usage of induced pluripotent stem cells in the cell-based regeneration of cartilage damages could replace or improve on the current techniques. The patient's specific non-invasive collection of tissue for reprogramming purposes could also create a platform for drug screening and disease modelling for an overview of distinct skeletal abnormalities. In this review, we seek to summarise the latest achievements in the chondrogenic differentiation of pluripotent stem cells for regenerative purposes and disease modelling.
