Abstract
Microvesicle (MVs) are submicron-sized membranous vesicles that are either actively released from cells via secretory compartments or shed from cell surface membranes. MVs are generated by many cell types and serve as vehicles that transfer biological information (e.g., protein, mRNA, and miRNA) to distant cells, thereby affecting their gene expression, proliferation, differentiation, and function. Although their physiological functions are not clearly defined, recent studies have shown their therapeutic potential for tissue repair and regeneration. While MVs can be isolated readily from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and other cell types from various sources, the yield of MVs under conventional culture condition in vitro is one of the limiting factors for both the in vivo functional study as well as in vitro molecular analysis. Here, we provide a protocol to increase the yield of microvesicles by preconditioning MSCs with rat brain extract.
Keywords: Mesenchymal stem cell (间充质干细胞)Background
Generation of neural stem cells or neural cells by direct reprogramming or utilization of mesenchymal stem cells for cell replacement therapy is potential options for neurodegenerative diseases (Adib et al., 2015). Recent studies have demonstrated that microvesicles derived from MSCs represent a novel and safe alternative to other cell replacement approaches to enhance tissue regeneration such as neuronal regeneration, immune modulation, angiogenesis in brain injury (Kim et al., 2013; Porro et al., 2015; Lee et al., 2016). Little is known about how external signals derived from damaged tissues can affect the quantity and composition of microvesicles. The contents and quantities of such functional secretome of MSCs can be significantly changed in response to their microenvironment (Qu et al., 2007). For example, ischemic brain extracts or hypoxia are known to induce the synthesis of a number of cytokines and growth factors that are beneficial to the tissue regeneration process (Chen et al., 2007; Shin et al., 2014). In the present study, normal and ischemic brain extracts as a form of brain injury signal were employed to increase the yields as well as to modulate the molecular composition of MVs from MSCs that can be beneficial for their clinical application. Indeed, the quantity of MVs in conditioned medium of MSCs was greatly increased by the treatment of normal brain extracts or ischemic brain extracts. The current protocol was mainly based on previously described methods (Choi et al., 2007; Kim et al., 2012) with a few modifications including reagents, recipes. The yield and composition of microvesicles can be significantly modulated by preconditioning of producing cells by physical, chemical or biological means. As an example, we utilized brain extract to stimulate MSCs to simulate signal for brain tissue damage and the final products (MVs) can be a potent specific therapy for brain tissue repair and regeneration. This protocol may provide a clue to develop better strategies to obtain higher yields of MVs with stronger therapeutic potential from various cell sources.
