AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to evaluate how well CM-Dil and GFP label human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) for tracking purposes after transplantation into guinea pigs with nasal mucosa radiation injury.
  • Both labeling methods showed high efficiency in vitro, with CM-Dil achieving a 95% labeling success rate and GFP reaching 90% at the first cell passage.
  • While both labels did not affect the cells' ability to differentiate into multiple lineages, GFP labeling negatively impacted hUC-MSC proliferation due to virus toxicity.

Article Abstract

To investigate the effectiveness of chloromethyl-dialkylcarbocyanine (CM-Dil) and green florescent protein (GFP) for tracking transplanted stem human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs), hUC-MSCs were labeled with CM-Dil or GFP and transplanted into guinea pigs with nasal mucosa radiation injury. In vitro and in vivo labeling efficiency was investigated by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. Proliferation and multi-lineage differentiation potential of labeled hUC-MSCs were assessed via cell quantification and specific staining. In vitro CM-Dil and GFP labeling efficiency was 95 ± 12.2 and 90 ± 8 % at first passage, respectively. Labeled hUC-MSCs were detected by fluorescence microscopy 10 days (CM-Dil) or 20 days (GFP) after transplantation. Neither type of cell labeling affected the multi-differentiation potential but GFP labeling inhibited hUC-MSC proliferation due to virus toxicity. hUC-MSCs can be labeled with either CM-Dil or GFP with high efficiency without impacting multi-differentiation potential.

Changes in the muscular tissue after subcutaneous injection of autologous bone marrow multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells transfected with GFP gene and additionally stained with cell membrane dye Vybrant CM-Dil in the projection of ligated femoral vein were studied by light microscopy with luminescence. Stromal cells injected through the skin can appear not only in the damaged tissue where acceleration of regeneration processes is required, but also in intact structures located in superficial or deeper layers. In intact muscular tissue, stromal cells spreading in the perivascular tissue initiate inflammation and migration of macrophages, activate and even trigger sclerotic processes due to differentiation into connective tissue cells (fibroblasts) and stimulation of proliferation and collagen synthesis by host fibroblasts.

The peculiarities of tissue sclerosis after injection of autologous bone marrow multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells transfected with GFP gene and stained with Vybrant CM-Dil cell membrane dye were studied by light microscopy with luminescence. The surgical intervention consisting in ligation of the great vein was followed by tissue sclerotic transformation caused by direct damage and chronic inflammation caused by the presence of slowly resorbed ligature. Injection of stromal cells after this intervention led to formation of more extensive scar.

The idea of multiple differentiation capacity of glioma stem cells and progentior cells (GSCPs) has been accepted by most of the researchers, but the effect of local environment on the differentiation of GSCPs is unclear. GSCPs SU2 and CM-Dil-stained C6 cells (C6-Dil) were injected into the brain of GFP transgenic nude mice. The xenografts were sectioned.
