This book focuses on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) of animal origin, including their isolation, characterization, and clinical applications. After briefly discussing the historical development of the field of stem cell research, it describes the basic properties and nature of stem cells particularly in relation to MSCs. In turn, it reviews materials and methods used to isolate MSCs from various sources, culture expansion, characterization and long-term storage. It also explores the therapeutic efficacy, immunomodulation and anti-inflammatory, and differentiation properties of MSCs. Importantly, the book discusses the applications of genetic engineering to enhance the efficacy and potential of MSCs in regenerative medicine. The book largely addresses the potential applications of mesenchymal stem cells in therapies for important species of domesticated animals including sheep, goats, cattle, buffalo, cats, dogs and horses. Finally, the book presents an abridgement of challenges and future prospects of stem cell research and application in medicine, in general and veterinary sciences, in particular.

Procedures: Characterization of MSCs was based on their plastic adherence and morphology, immunofluorescence of MSC-associated cell surface markers, and expression of pluripotency-associated transcription factors. Morphological and histochemical methods were used to evaluate differentiation of MSCs cultured in adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic media. Passage one MSCs, cultured in triplicate, were counted at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours to determine tissue specific-MSC proliferative capacity. Mesenchymal stem cell yield/gram of tissue was calculated for confluent passage one MSCs.

Objective: To evaluate feasibility of stem cell isolation from falciform fat harvested via laparoscopic morcellation. Study Design: Pilot study. Animals: 11 client-owned dogs. Methods: Falciform was harvested traditionally via laparotomy, and laparoscopically via tissue morcellation. Harvested tissue was processed to obtain a stromal vascular fraction (SVF) using a commercially available adipose tissue dissociation kit. Cells were subsequently labelled for CD90, CD45, and CD44 cell surface antigens using magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) and fluorescence-activate cell sorting (FACS) flow cytometry. CD90 positive cells were quantified and their viability assessed using a hemocytometer and trypan blue exclusion test of cell viability. Results: No peri-operative complications occurred in patients undergoing laparoscopic morcellation. Laparoscopically and traditionally harvested samples yielded an average of 0.39 (+/- 0.1) x 106 and 0.33 (+/- 0.1) x 106 CD90+ cells per 10 million SVF cells, respectively. CD90+ cell viability following MACS was 89% (+/- 11%) for morcellated and 86% (+/- 7%) for traditionally harvested samples. Neither CD90+ cell quantity nor viability was significantly different between samples obtained via traditional laparotomy versus laparoscopic morcellation (p = 0.38 and p = 0.63, respectively). Populations of CD90+ cells isolated using each harvest technique had similar CD44 and CD45 expression profiles. Conclusion: Viable populations of CD90+ cells with similar CD44/CD45 expression profiles could be isolated from laparoscopically morcellated and traditionally harvested falciform tissue. No appreciable morbidity was associated with laparoscopic falciform morcellation. Clinical Significance: Laparoscopic morcellation is a safe and effective minimally invasive means of falciform tissue harvest for AD-MSC isolation.

ABSTRACT The stem cells in adult tissues often referred as mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and they can be isolated from multiple tissues sources. Adipose tissue sources are attractive because of various advantages than other sources. Besides the increasing demand in research and clinical medicine for adipose derived MSCs, the current techniques employed for storage and the differentiation environment used for some lineages was not faultless and requires effort of optimization. As a result, this research aims on the optimization of the differentiation capacity of canine MSC from adipogenic source towards adipogenic, chondrogenic and osteogenic lineage. The chondrogenic differentiation ability was although tested in normoxic and hypoxic conditions. In addition, differentiation potential was evaluated after freezing with different technique. It was shown that the surface markers expression for canine stem cells differed according to freezing methods (p= 0.0001). CD90 increased while, the proportion of CD44 and CD29 positive cells decreased with marked differences between the different freezing methods. Stem cells, which had been frozen with a programmable freezer, showed higher cell viability and neither an increase in cell proliferation (p= 0.0741) nor cell doubling time (p= 0.7663). Differently frozen cells did not show any clear difference neither on the histological examination after staining nor after analysis of the gene expression. The investigation of oxygen concentration on the chondrogenic differentiation showed that an incubation under hypoxia (5% oxygen) was preferable to chondrogenic differentiation than normoxia (21% oxygen). Despite the successful optimization of the chondrogenic differentiation by hypoxia, it was necessary to further optimize the freezing methods and the cultivation conditions through improvements in the medium additives used.

Over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to develop stem cell-based therapies for difficult to treat diseases. Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells, also referred to as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), appear to hold great promise in regards to a regenerative cell-based therapy for the treatment of these diseases. Currently, more than 200 clinical trials are underway worldwide exploring the use of MSCs for the treatment of a wide range of disorders including bone, cartilage and tendon damage, myocardial infarction, graft-versus-host disease, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, critical limb ischemia and many others. MSCs were first identified by Friendenstein and colleagues as an adherent stromal cell population within the bone marrow with the ability to form clonogenic colonies in vitro. In regards to the basic biology associated with MSCs, there has been tremendous progress towards understanding this cell population’s phenotype and function from a range of tissue sources. Despite enormous progress and an overall increased understanding of MSCs at the molecular and cellular level, several critical questions remain to be answered in regards to the use of these cells in therapeutic applications. Clinically, both autologous and allogenic approaches for the transplantation of MSCs are being explored. Several of the processing steps needed for the clinical application of MSCs, including isolation from various tissues, scalable in vitro expansion, cell banking, dose preparation, quality control parameters, delivery methods and numerous others are being extensively studied. Despite a significant number of ongoing clinical trials, none of the current therapeutic approaches have, at this point, become a standard of care treatment. Although exceptionally promising, the clinical translation of MSC-based therapies is still a work in progress. The extensive number of ongoing clinical trials is expected to provide a clearer path forward for the realization and implementation of MSCs in regenerative medicine. Towards this end, reviews of current clinical trial results and discussions of relevant topics association with the clinical application of MSCs are compiled in this book from some of the leading researchers in this exciting and rapidly advancing field. Although not absolutely all-inclusive, we hope the chapters within this book can promote and enable a better understanding of the translation of MSCs from bench-to-bedside and inspire researchers to further explore this promising and quickly evolving field.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are multipotent precursors to many mesodermal cell lineages in vertebrate animals and are most often obtained from bone marrow. Certain attributes of MSCs, including migration toward sites of inflammation, ease of transduction, and lack of immunogenicity, suggest these cells may be potentially useful for regenerative medicine. Putative therapeutic uses include regeneration of damaged tissue, acting as a vessel for delivering a therapeutic transgene, support of other cell types for tissue repair, and modulating the immune reaction to co-transplanted cells or tissues. However, MSCs lack distinctive surface markers and conventional MSC culture has been shown to be heterogeneous. A thorough characterization of MSC culture at a single cell level has not been adequately demonstrated. These conditions lead to the question of whether there are true mesenchymal "stem" cells, or simply a mixed population of committed mesenchymal progenitors. In addition to being an important question in MSC biology, this may prove to be an important distinction in certain therapeutic settings. In this study, the methods used to identify hematopoietic high proliferative potential-colony forming cells (HPP-CFCs) and high proliferative potential- endothelial colony forming cells (HPP-ECFCs), were adapted to investigate the existence of high proliferative potential-mesenchymal colony forming cells (HPP-MCFCs), and the differentiation potential of these cells toward adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic lineages at a single cell level. This study demonstrates for the first time that a hierarchy of mesenchymal cells within conventional MSC culture can be described, and single HPP-MCFCs can differentiate toward adipogenic, chondrogenic and osteogenic lineages as well as form secondary colonies.
