Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered a potential tool for cell based regenerative therapy
due to their immunomodulatory property, differentiation potentials, trophic activity as well as
large donor pool. Poor engraftment and short term survival of transplanted MSCs are recognized
as major limitations which were linked to early cellular ageing, loss of chemokine markers during ex
vivo expansion, and hyper-immunogenicity to xeno-contaminated MSCs. These problems can be
minimized by ex vivo expansion of MSCs in hypoxic culture condition using well defined or
xeno-free media i.e., media supplemented with growth factors, human serum or platelet lysate. In
addition to ex vivo expansion in hypoxic culture condition using well defined media, this review
article describes the potentials of transient adaptation of expanded MSCs in autologous serum
supplemented medium prior to transplantation for long term regenerative benefits. Such transient
adaptation in autologous serum supplemented medium may help to increase chemokine receptor
expression and tissue specific differentiation of ex vivo expanded MSCs, thus would provide long
term regenerative benefits.
Key words: Mesenchymal stem cell, hyper-immunogenicity, chemokine receptors, xenogenic, autologous, allogeneic.
Introduction
The lineage committed progenitor cells or
unipotent stem cells maintain cellular homeostasis [1].
Mesenchymal stem cells or mesenchymal stromal cells
(MSCs) originated in bone-marrow, adipose tissue,
dental pulp are involved in such homeostasis [2]. The
number of MSCs increases in the peripheral blood
during skeletal muscle injury [3] and osteoporosis [4].
Higher numbers of circulatory MSCs are also observed immediately after ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction [5, 6]. However, natural regenerative process alone is insufficient to repair a diseased or
injured organ in case of myocardial infarction, stroke
and spinal cord injuries because of the limited indigenous supply of the stem cells [7, 8]. Hence, adjunctive treatment such as stem cell based regenerative
325
ronment have an influential effect on cellular ageing
and chemokine marker expression that may affect
trafficking and engraftment of MSCs following transplantation [17, 18, 37]. In addition, there are safety
concerns regarding hyper-immunogenicity to MSCs
expanded in xenogenic serum [38] that might be a
cause of acute rejection of transplanted MSCs.
To resolve the issue of poor engraftment of
MSCs, this article elaborates the advantages and
drawbacks of different approaches of ex vivo MSCs
culture techniques. Finally a two phase ex vivo MSCs
culture strategy is proposed as a possible way to
produce clinical grade MSCs to enhance engraftment
and regenerative outcomes. In phase 1, MSCs are initially isolated and expanded in human platelet lysate
or pooled allogeneic AB-serum supplemented medium followed by the phase 2 where the expanded
MSCs are cultured in autologus serum (patients own)
supplemented medium mainly to adapt the MSCs
prior to transplantation (Figure 1).

Prior to transplantation, MSCs are generally expanded in ex vivo culture conditions. Oxygen concentration of this culture environment is higher than
MSCs natural niche and the media contains xenoantigen [56, 57]. This culture conditions resulted in telomere shortening, early senescence, loss of chemokine receptors, and xeno-contamination in cultured
MSCs [18, 37, 38]. Use of these ex vivo expanded MSCs
may
exhibit
post-transplantation
hyper-immunogenicity, improper trafficking and poor
engraftment which in turn might result in failure of
long term regenerative benefits.
Post-transplantation hyper-immunogenicity to
MSCs cultured in xenogenic serum
MSCs are able to prevent expression of
co-stimulatory molecules such as CD40, CD80, CD83
and CD86 and induce expression of inhibitory molecules such as B7-H1, B7-H4 and human leukocyte
antigen G (HLA-G). At the same time, MSCs were
reported to secrete soluble factors such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), transforming growth factor
(TGF)-, interleukin 10 (IL-10), nitric oxide (NO),
hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and indolamin-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO). These properties help

Cellular ageing or replicative senescence affects proliferation and differentiation potentials of stem cells
[74-77]. Senescence can be triggered by gradual loss of
telomere repeat sequences, DNA damage and
de-repression of the INK4/ARF locus [78]. Without any
detectable telomere loss, oxidative stress-induced
premature senescence may also take place in cultured
cells [79, 80].
Among the different mechanisms of cellular aging, gradual loss of telomere sequence has been studied the most. Telomere is a guanine-rich DNA repeat
sequence of the chromosomal end [81]. A reverse
transcriptase named telomerase plays key role in
maintaining the telomeric repeats. Usually in rapidly
proliferating germ cells and ES cells telomerase is
highly expressed. After birth, telomerase level within
cells including in MSCs gradually diminishes [81]. As
a result, telomere repeat sequences in MSCs is gradually lost at a similar rate to non-stem cells [82]. Basic
fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was reported to
maintain long telomeres without up-regulation of
telomerase expression [83, 84]. However, the possible
effect of bFGF on reduced differentiation potential
and priming of MSCs should be taken into consideration when used in regenerative therapy [85].
Previous study has also shown that highly confluenced MSCs (100%) aged faster than the cells passaged at lower confluency (60-70%). During in vitro
culture of MSCs, initial dense population showed
prolonged population doubling time, higher expression of senescence associated -galactosidase, and
increased cell cycle arrest along with increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, difference in telomere length and alteration in p53 exAging of MSCs during in vitro or ex vivo expression was not observed [80]. Contrary to this obpansion

with granular cytoplasm and induce higher expression of other senescent markers
namely p53, p21, p16 and lysosomal

also been reported that ambient

cells including MSCs compared to

(2-5%), and ROS is also responsible
for faster telomere shortening and

Culture of MSCs in xeno-free media
From the very beginning of the development of
synthetic cell culture medium by Harry Eagle in 1955,
researchers were looking for suitable supplement to
support cell viability and expansion. Animal serum
especially FBS have been widely using to supplement
media, as it provides almost all the necessary nutrients needed for the survival and proliferation of cells
in culture condition [98, 99]. However, the uncertainty
over the composition and concentration of cytokines
and growth factors of FBS, possibility of disease
transmission,
and
Neu5GC
mediated
hyper-immunogenicity [99, 100] are considered as
drawbacks of FBS when used for isolation and expansion of stem cells for therapeutic purpose [64, 66,
101]. Hence, xeno-free media or well defined serum
free media are being used as alternative [102-104].
Usually xeno-free media require different types of
growth factors as supplement: recombinant human
PDGF-BB, bFGF and TGF-1 [105]. However, MSCs in
both growth factors supplemented serum free media
and FBS supplemented media showed similar growth
kinetics and differentiation potential during in vitro
expansion [105-107]. While, xeno-free media were
found suitable for isolation and expansion of MSCs to
maintain their multipotent differentiation capacity
[102, 103], on the other hand there are also evidence
that xeno-free medium does not support primary
culture or isolation of MSCs. Indeed, after isolation of
MSCs in any serum supplemented medium, MSCs
can be further expanded and differentiated in
xeno-free media [106, 107]. Moreover, xeno-free media does not offer solutions for early senescence, telomere shortening, and loss of chemokine receptors
that are needed for site specific migration, engraftment and long term regeneration benefits.
Human serum and platelet lysate as alternative to growth factors and FBS
In the search for a solution to the problems related
to
severe
immunogenicity
to
xeno-contamination caused by FBS, and limited isolation and expansion of MSCs in serum free media, researchers have proposed to use human serum, plasma
and/or platelet lysate as possible replacement [56,
108-110]. The potential of autologous human serum in
supporting the in vitro isolation and expansion of
MSCs has gained considerable attention [56, 111-113].
Autologous human serum has been reported to have
positive effect on the proliferation [112, 114] and differentiation potential of MSCs [56, 111, 114]. MSCs
cultured in autologous human serum have shown
more stable gene expression [56, 115] and higher motility [114] compared to MSCs cultured in FBS.
Moreover, MSCs cultured in autologous serum suphttp://www.ijbs.com

92]. In recent years researchers have acknowledged
that the regenerative properties of microvesicles have
been overlooked for years [135, 136]. Microvesicles are
small (30-1000 nm) membranous vesicles released
from the activated healthy cells or demaged cells
during membrane blebbing [135, 137-139]. Rozmyslowicz et al. reported the transfer of CXCR4 receptor
from the surface of platelets or megakaryocytes to the
surface of CD4+/CXCR4-null cells through microvesicles [140]. Microvesicles are also able to transfer mRNA and miRNA from the cell of origin to the
receiver cells [135, 141-143]. Induced epigenetic
changes following internalization of microvesicles by
receiver cells have been recognized as a universal
phenomenon [135, 139, 144-146].
Several human and animal studies reported the
increase of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines,
growth factors and microvesicles in blood circulation
following stroke and ischemic heart disease [5, 136,
147-151]. If the expanded MSCs are meant for transplantation in such pathological conditions where inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, growth factors
and circulatory microvesicles are increased, positive
response of the transplanted cells to the host microenvironment is highly important for successful regenerative therapy.
Notably, chemokines and inflammatory cytokines in the patients freshly prepared autologous
serum have the potential to enhance migratory potential of MSCs by inducing the expression of chemokine markers during incubation [5, 90, 92, 148].
Meanwhile, microvesicles present in the patients autologous serum could enhance MSCs migratory
properties by delivering chemokine markers and as
well as potentially cause epigenetic changes of MSCs
by transferring host mRNA or miRNA [135, 137-139,
142-146]. Expression of chemokine markers on MSCs,
transiently incubated in autologus serum, may facilitate tissue specific migration and engraftment. At the
same time, the tissue specific modified cell population
may produce microvesicles similar to that of injured
tissues and organs [144] following engraftment. In
turn, it might facilitate the migration and homing of
circulatory MSCs and prevent apoptosis of cells in
injured tissues or organs [136]. Since the number of
circulatory MSCs and progenitor cells in circulation
was found to be increased within 24 hours following
stroke and myocardial infarction [5, 6, 8], incubation
of MSCs for similar time period, i.e., 24 hours, would
be considered sufficient for the transient ex vivo adaptation of the expanded MSCs.

heterodimer. Then the HIF-1 heterodimer binds to a
hypoxia-response element (HRE) in the target genes,
associated with co-activators such as CBP/p300, and
regulates the transcription of genes involved in metabolism, angiogenesis, cell migration and cell fate.
Besides, through Notch signalling, HIF-1 regulate
the expression of genes (e.g. HES and HEY) that
maintain proliferation of cells [18]. To provide MSCs
natural niche like oxygen concentration isolation, expansion and adaptation of MSCs should be done in
hypoxic (2-5% oxygen) conditions. This culture environment will facilitate proliferation, site specific migration, and prevent early aging of MSCs. Moreover,
hypoxic culture environment may increase biosafety
by reducing aneuploidy [17, 18].
Figure 3: Effect of culture media supplement on in vitro or ex vivo expansion of MSCs, and their suitability for clinical applications. FBS, allogeneic
serum (pooled AB-serum), platelet lysate and autologous serum supplemented media support isolation and expansion of MSCs. Presence of xenoantigen in FBS make
its use controversial. Although xeno-free media do not support isolation, they support further expansion of MSCs isolated in any serum supplemented media. MSCs
expanded in xeno-free media and media supplemented with platelet lysate, pooled allogeneic AB-serum or autologous serum are considered appropriate for
regenerative therapy as they are free from any xeno-contamination. Abbreviations are: MSC, Mesenchymal stem cells; FBS, fetal bovine serum. [= decrease; =

Figure 4: Possible effects of adaptation of expanded MSCs in autologous serum supplemented media on engraftment and regenerative eficiency. A) Cytokines and other soluble factors present in the freshly prepared autologous serum may increase chemokine receptor (CCR) expression on MSCs.
Microvesicles present in the serum may deliver chemokine receptors that might enhance chemotactic properties of incubated MSCs. Expression of chemokine
receptors may facilitate tissue specific migration and further regenerative benefits. B) In addition, mRNA or miRNA packed in microvesicle may be delivered to MSCs
during incubation that could aid in tissue specific differentiation. Upon transplantation, these tissue specific differentiated cells may produce microvesicles similar to
the cells within the injured tissues. This may help tissue specific migration of circulatory progenitors or MSCs and enhance regenerative outcomes.

Conclusion
MSCs have tremendous potential in regenerative
medicine. It is the store house of several cytokines and
paracrine signalling factors that facilitates the process
of regeneration. For successful translation of the use
of MSCs from bench side to bedside, ex vivo expansion
of MSCs prior to transplantation requires appropriate
supplement to minimize the impact of xenogenic serum. This article highlights comparative benefits of
human platelet lysate and pooled human-AB serum
as supplement for expansion of MSCs and subsequent
transient ex vivo adaptation of the expanded MSCs in
autologus serum supplement media prior to transplantation. Hypoxic culture environment must be
maintained both for ex vivo expansion and adaptation.
Collectively, ex vivo expansion using human platelet
lysate and pooled human-AB serum and transient
adaptation in autologus serum in hypoxic condition
might prove useful in enhancing the regenerative potential of MSCs.
