Study Design: Laboratory study.
Objective: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from whole bone marrow aspirate (BMA) and MSCs derived from density-gradient centrifugation were isolated from vertebral bodies and cultured under either hypoxic or normoxic conditions to evaluate their biological characteristics and HOX and TALE signature able to improve spinal surgery procedures.
Summary Of Background Data: The use of spinal fusion procedures has increased over the last decades; however, failed fusion still remains an important problem. Clinician and researchers focused their attention on the therapeutic potential of bone marrow MSCs and several methods for their isolation and cultivation have been developed. However, the best source and techniques are still debated.
Methods: MSCs morphology, surface markers, colony-forming-units, and three lineage differentiation through quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) were evaluated. Additionally, gene expression analysis of HOX and TALE signatures during osteogenic differentiation were analyzed.
Results: Our study showed that MSCs derived from whole BMA were successfully isolated and when cultured under hypoxic condition presented greater proliferation, larger colonies, and differentiated onto osteogenic and chondrogenic lineage with greater ability, while adipogenic differentiation was less efficient. Results also revealed that MSCs, differently isolated and cultured, expressed different level of HOX and TALE signatures and that HOXB8 were up-regulated with greater efficiency in MSCs derived from whole BMA under hypoxia.
Conclusion: Our data indicated that hypoxic preconditioning of MSCs derived from whole BMA exhibited more suitable biological characteristics and different level of HOX and TALE gene activation. We, therefore, concluded that vertebral body MSCs derived from whole BMA may provide alternative sources of MSCs for tissue engineering applications for spine surgery.

To assess the impact of a single intra-articular (IA) injection of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted. The study included 24 patients with knee OA who were randomly assigned to receive either a single IA injection of BM-MSCs or normal saline. Changes in the visual analog scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) after IA injection were assessed at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent stem cells with self-renewal. They play a critical role in cell therapy due to their powerful immunomodulatory and regenerative effects. Recent studies suggest that one of the key therapeutic mechanisms of MSCs seems to derive from their paracrine product, called extracellular vesicles (EVs).

Background: Exogenous Cushing's syndrome, which results from prolonged glucocorticoid treatment, is associated with metabolic abnormalities. Previously, we reported the inhibitory effect of tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium (T-MSC CM) on glucocorticoid signal transduction. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic efficacy of T-MSCs in a mouse model of exogenous Cushing's syndrome.

Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of ischemic cardiovascular disease worldwide. Recent studies indicated that vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play an indispensable role in the progression of atherosclerosis. Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated promising clinical applications in the treatment of atherosclerosis.
