ABSTRACT
Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious neurological disorder, with the consequent disabilities conferred by this disorder typically persisting for life. Multilineage-differentiating stress-enduring (Muse) cells are endogenous stem cells that can be collected from various tissues as well as from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs); additionally, these Muse cells are currently being used in clinical trials. The anti-inflammatory effect of stem cell transplantation prevents secondary injuries of SCI; however, its effect on Muse cells remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to compare the anti-inflammatory effects of adipose (AD)- and bone marrow (BM)-Muse cells that were isolated from mice (6-week-old C57BL/6J) following intralesional administration during the acute phase of SCI. Flow cytometry was used to isolate Muse cells from AD and BM MSCs. The percentage of Muse cells was 3.9 and 2.7% for AD and BM MSCs, respectively. To examine cell viability, Muse cells were incubated under H2O2-induced oxidative stress conditions. Overall, AD-Muse cells exhibited higher viability than BM-Muse cells (p = 0.032). In enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis, AD-Muse cells displayed greater secretion of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF; p = 0.008), vascular endothelial growth factor (p = 0.032), and hepatocyte growth factor (p = 0.016). DNA microarray analysis revealed higher expression of Bdnf, neurotrophin-3 (Ntf3), nerve growth factor (Ngf), pleiotrophin (Ptn), and midkine (Mdk) in AD-Muse cells than in BM-Muse cells. To assess their anti-inflammatory effects in vitro, Muse cells and macrophages were co-cultured, and the levels of cytokines (tumor necrosis factor [TNF] α and interleukin [IL] 10) were measured in the medium. Consequently, we found that TNFα levels were lower in AD-Muse cells than in BM-Muse cells (p = 0.009), and IL10 levels were higher in AD-Muse cells than in BM-Muse cells (p = 0.008). Further, we induced moderate injuries via contusion of the spinal cord at the T10 level; Muse cells were transplanted intralesionally 7 days post-SCI. The number of surviving cells, alongside the number of CD86+ (M1 inflammatory effect), and CD206+ (M2 anti-inflammatory effect) macrophages in the spinal cord were measured 7 days post-transplantation. The number of surviving AD-Muse cells was higher than the number of surviving BM-Muse cells (ratio of AD-Muse/BM-Muse = 2.5, p > 0.05). The M1/M2 ratio in the AD-Muse cell-group (0.37) was lower than that in the control (phosphate-buffered saline) group (3.60, p = 0.008). The lesion area in the AD-Muse cell group was smaller than that in the BM-non-Muse (p = 0.049) and control groups (p = 0.012). As AD-Muse cells conferred a higher cell survival and neurotrophic factor secretion ability in vitro, AD-Muse cells demonstrated reduced inflammation after SCI. Overall, intralesional AD-Muse cell therapy is a potential therapeutic candidate that is expected to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects following acute SCI.
