DURHAM, N.C., June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A study released today in STEM CELLS demonstrates how extracellular vesicles derived from human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EV) are able to incorporate into human CD34+ cells, modifying their gene expression and increasing their viability and cloning ability.

Key Points: 
  • DURHAM, N.C., June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A study released today in STEM CELLS demonstrates how extracellular vesicles derived from human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EV) are able to incorporate into human CD34+ cells, modifying their gene expression and increasing their viability and cloning ability.
  • In a test on mice, MSC-EVs also increased the cells' ability to lodge into bone marrow.
  • "In the current work, we wanted to evaluate the changes induced in CD34+ cells after the incorporation of MSC-derived EV.
  • Moreover, we have assessed if this incorporation has functional implications, evaluating their clonogenic ability in vitro and the in vivo engraftment in a mouse model."

Such cells are thought to influence whether early stem cells mature into different types of other cells, such as red or white blood cells.

Key Points: 
  • Such cells are thought to influence whether early stem cells mature into different types of other cells, such as red or white blood cells.
  • Reporting in the journal Nature online in April, the study authors describe how they used a combined imaging-mapping tool to track the genetic function one by one of 17,374 mouse bone marrow cells.
  • Most were identified as cells that line blood vessels (i.e., vascular endothelial cells) or stem cells (mesenchymal cells) that make up bone (osteoblasts).
  • Among the stress-induced changes was that one set of stem cells (also mesenchymal), which typically develop into osteoblasts or muscle cells, in this instance only turned into fat cells (adipocytes).

  • Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are adult stem cells that are capable of rapid proliferation and differentiation into multiple types of cells.BMSCs are also less immunogenic and tumorogenic than some other types of stem cells.
  • Nonetheless, the use of BMSCs in tissue engineering is jeopardized by their tendency to spontaneously differentiate when cultured in vitro.
  • Thus, identifying strategies that prevent differentiation and maintain BMSC stemness is a high priority for tissue engineering.
