SIRT1+ Adipose Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Stem Cells (ASCs) Suspended in Alginate Hydrogel for the Treatment of Subchondral Bone Cyst in Medial Femoral Condyle in the Horse. Clinical Report.

Abstract: Stem cell based therapy are now commonly applied in human and veterinary medical practice especially in orthopaedics. Mesenchymal stromal stem cells isolated from adipose tissue (ASC) are first choice option due to relatively non-invasive and safe procedure of tissue harvesting. However, ASC therapeutic potential strongly rely on patients general health condition, age and life-style. For that reason, to enhance therapeutic potential of cells, they are modified in vitro using different approaches. Previous studies have shown, that ASC treated with resveratrol, herein called SIRT+, are characterised by decreased senescence, increased proliferation rate and improved clinical outcome in autologous therapies. Herein, SIRT + cells in alginate hydrogel were applied to 5 years old warm breed mare was clinically evaluated due to the left hind lameness due to subchondral bone cyst. The therapeutic effect was assessed by the analysis of lameness score and radiological evaluation. This case report demonstrates the therapeutic potential of SIRT + cells in the treatment of orthopaedics disorders in horses as complete bone remodelling occurred after therapy and horse came back to training.

This research reports on the successful use of a stem cell therapy technique, where stem cells are extracted from fat tissue, enhanced in vitro, and suspended in alginate hydrogel for the treatment of a subchondral bone cyst in a horse’s knee.

Study Overview:

  • Stem cell therapy is increasingly used in medical practice, especially in orthopedics. Among various types of stem cells, Mesenchymal Stromal Stem Cells (ASCs) derived from adipose (fat) tissue are preferred due to the relatively non-invasive and safe process of tissue harvesting.
  • Although the therapeutic efficacy of ASCs depends on factors such as a patient’s overall health, age, and lifestyle, these cells can be enhanced in vitro through various techniques.
  • The subject of this particular case report is a 5-year-old mare suffering from lameness due to a subchondral bone cyst in the left hind knee. The mare was treated with ASCs that had been enhanced with resveratrol (termed SIRT+ cells) and suspended in alginate hydrogel.

Findings:

  • Prior studies have demonstrated that ASCs treated with resveratrol (i.e., SIRT+ cells) exhibit reduced senescence (aging), an increased rate of proliferation, and improved clinical outcomes in autologous therapies (those using a patient’s own cells).
  • In this case report, the therapeutic effect of the treatment was assessed using a lameness score and radiological evaluation.
  • The results indicate that the treatment with SIRT+ cells in alginate hydrogel was successful: the horse showed complete bone remodeling following the therapy, and was able to return to training.

Implications:

  • This study reinforces the therapeutic potential of SIRT+ cells for treating orthopedic disorders in horses, highlighting the use of the alginate hydrogel as a delivery method.
  • The findings open a path for more in-depth exploration and applications of ASCs for healing bone lesions in horses and potentially other animals.
  • While this study is focused on veterinary medicine, the reported success of the stem cell therapy technique could be potentially influential in human orthopedic treatments as well.
