Membrane vesicles mediate pro-angiogenic activity of equine adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells.

Abstract: Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have attracted a great deal of interest, due to several distinctive features, including the ability to migrate to damaged tissue and to participate in tissue regeneration. There is increasing evidence that membrane vesicles (MVs), comprising exosomes and shedding vesicles, represent a key component, responsible for many of the paracrine effects of MSCs. The aim of the present study was to establish whether equine adipose-derived MSCs (E-AdMSCs) produce MVs that are capable of influencing angiogenesis, a key step in tissue regeneration. A morphological study was performed using MSC monolayers, prepared for transmission and scanning electron microscopy and on ultracentrifuged MSC supernatants, to identify production of MVs. The ability of MVs to influence angiogenesis was evaluated by means of the rat aortic ring and scratch assays. The results demonstrated that MVs, constitutively produced by E-AdMSCs, are involved in intercellular communication with endothelial cells, stimulating angiogenesis. Although many questions remain regarding their formation, delivery, content and mechanism of action, the present study supports the concept that MVs released by MSCs have the potential to be exploited as a therapeutic tool for regenerative medicine.

Summary

This study investigates the production of membrane vesicles (MVs) by equine adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (E-AdMSCs) and their potential role in stimulating angiogenesis, a critical process in tissue regeneration. The results highlight that these MVs could be a potential therapeutic tool in regenerative medicine.

Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

  • The research focuses on Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) derived from equine adipose tissue (E-AdMSCs).
  • These cells have the capabilities to migrate to damaged tissue and participate in tissue regeneration, making them a point of interest in the field of regenerative medicine.

Membrane Vesicles and Their Role

  • MVs, which include exosomes and shedding vesicles, are found to be a crucial element responsible for the paracrine effects of MSCs. These effects involve communication and influence between different cell types.
  • The primary goal of this research was to determine whether E-AdMSCs produce MVs that are able to impact angiogenesis, an essential step in tissue regeneration. Angiogenesis involves the formation of new blood vessels in the body.

Morphological Study and Evaluation of MV Influence

  • A morphological study was carried out using MSC monolayers, a single layer of cells. These were developed for transmission and scanning electron microscopy, for identifying the production of MVs.
  • MVs’ ability to influence angiogenesis was assessed through the rat aortic ring and scratch assays. These assays are experimental models for studying angiogenesis.

Results and Implications

  • The results indicated that MVs, which are constitutively produced by E-AdMSCs, are involved in intercellular communication with endothelial cells, stimulating angiogenesis.
  • While there are still many questions regarding their formation, delivery, content, and mechanism of action, the study supports the idea that MVs released by MSCs show promise to be exploited as a therapeutic tool for regenerative medicine.
