Single-Cell Transcriptome Decoding Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Heterogeneity Reveals a Unique IL1R1PDGFRA Ultroser-G-MSC With Osteogenesis and Chondrogenesis Signatures.

The heterogeneity of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) is culturing-dependent, resulting in functional non-uniformness. To achieve the best clinical benefit, a comprehensive understanding of the origin of the heterogeneity in different culture systems can identify functional subgroups to direct the precise application of hUC-MSCs. Here, we create a single-cell transcriptome atlas of hUC-MSC in different culture systems for the identification of a subgroup of Ultroser-G-MSCs with high osteogenic and chondrogenic potentials featured by high expressions of IL1R1 and PDGFRA.

Background: Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapies have achieved remarkable success in the treatment of hematological tumors. However, given the distinct features of solid tumors, particularly heterogeneity, metabolic aggressiveness, and fewer immune cells in tumor microenvironment (TME), the practical utility of CAR-T cells for solid tumors remains as a challenging issue. Meanwhile, although anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) has shown clinical efficacy, most mAbs also show limited clinical benefits for solid tumors due mainly to the issues associated with the lack of immune cells in TME.
