Background aims. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been studied as cell therapy to treat a vast array of diseases. In clinical MSC production, the isolated cells must undergo extensive ex vivo expansion to obtain a sufficient dose of MSCs for the investigational treatment. However, extended tissue culture is fraught with potential hazards, including contamination and most worrisome, malignant transformation. Moreover, changes of gene expression with prolonged culture may alter the therapeutic potential of the cells. Therefore, increasing the recovery of MSCs from the freshly harvested bone marrow allowing for less ex vivo expansion would represent a major advance in MSC therapy. Methods. Human bone marrow cells from 8 healthy donors were processed using a marrow filter device and, in parallel, using buoyant density centrifugation by two independent investigators. The initial nucleated cell recovery as well as the final yield, immunophenotype, and trilineage differentiation potential of passage 2 MSCs were examined. Results. The marrow filter device generated significantly greater initial cell recovery requiring less investigator time and resulted in approximately 2.5-fold more MSCs after passage 2. The immunophenotype and differentiation potential of MSCs isolated using the two methods was equivalent and consistent the defining criteria. The two independent investigators generated comparable results. Conclusions. This novel filter device is a fast, efficient, and reliable system to isolate MSCs and should greatly expedite preclinical and clinical investigations of MSC therapy.

Abstract
Background aims. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been studied as cell therapy to treat a vast array of diseases. In clinical MSC production, the isolated cells must undergo extensive ex vivo expansion to obtain a sufficient dose of MSCs for the investigational treatment. However, extended tissue culture is fraught with potential hazards, including contamination and malignant transformation. Changes of gene expression with prolonged culture may alter the therapeutic potential of the cells. Increasing the recovery of MSCs from the freshly harvested bone marrow allowing for less ex vivo expansion would represent a major advance in MSC therapy. Methods. Human bone marrow cells from eight healthy donors were processed using a marrow filter device and, in parallel, using buoyant density centrifugation by two independent investigators. The initial nucleated cell recovery and the final yield, immunophenotype and trilineage differentiation potential of second-passage MSCs were examined. Results. The marrow filter device generated significantly greater initial cell recovery requiring less investigator time and resulted in approximately 2.5-fold more MSCs after the second passage. The immunophenotype and differentiation potential of MSCs isolated using the two methods were equivalent and consistent with the defining criteria. The two independent investigators generated comparable results. Conclusions. This novel filter device is a fast, efficient and reliable system to isolate MSCs and should greatly expedite pre-clinical and clinical investigations of MSC therapy. © 2013, International Society for Cellular Therapy.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
