Characterization and angiogenic potential of CD146+ endometrial stem cells
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
The human endometrium, lining the inner uterus, regenerates over 400 times uniquely during a woman’s reproductive life. Endometrial stem cells (eSCs) enrich the tissue, resulting in a dense vascular network, significant angiogenic potential, and effective regeneration power. Being of natural angiogenic properties and proven effective in the treatment of vascular disorders, eSCs can be considered safe, reliable, and superior to other post-natal stem cells. Cluster of Differentiation 146 (CD146) has emerged as a pivotal marker associated with pericytes and endothelial cells for promoting angiogenesis. Endometrial cells with high CD146 expression could proliferate and differentiate into multiple lineages. This study will explore the role of CD146 in eSCs, focusing on the potential to boost the angiogenic and regenerative functions of the cells. The novelty of this study lies in the investigation of CD146 on eSC function, which may open new possibilities for eSC-based therapy in regenerative medicine and vascular disorders. The study involved obtaining endometrial biopsies from active reproducing women to isolate and cultivate eSCs. eSCs were assessed for growth factor secretion pattern, characterized for their mesenchymal properties. Finally, eSCs were tested for their angiogenic potential by angiogenic gene expression profile and in-ovo chick embryo model. As aimed, to check the role of CD146 in eSC angiogenesis, CD146 + cells were magnetically sorted and cultured. The sorted cells underwent various analyses, including flowcytometry to identify mesenchymal markers and human growth factor panel to analyze growth factor secretion profiles The study evaluated the angiogenic potential of CD146 + cells using functional assays, including ring formation, endothelial differentiation, and wound scratch assays, to evaluate cell migration and healing capabilities. Molecular insights were obtained through chemokine and cytokine investigations In-ovo Chick model assay was conducted to check the angiogenic potential and evaluated through macroscopic as well as through immunohistochemistry. Endometrial stem cells (eSCs) were successfully isolated using a combination of mechanical and enzymatic digestion, followed by culturing in complete DMEM media. The secretion profile of eSCs revealed significant production of various angiogenic growth factors, including Granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Fibroblast growth factors (FGF), and Platelet derived growth factor AA (PDGF-AA). The angiogenic gene profile indicated upregulation of several angiogenic genes in eSCs. The mesenchymal nature of eSCs was demonstrated through surface marker analysis (Cluster of differentiation 73, Cluster of differentiation 90, Cluster of differentiation 105) and trilineage differentiation. The in-ovo chick model confirmed the angiogenic potential of eSCs. CD146 + cells, isolated via magnetic sorting, exhibited enhanced angiogenic potential. These cells secreted significant levels of angiogenic growth factors such as VEGF. In Matrigel assays, CD146 + cells formed endothelial ring structures more rapidly and persistently than unsorted eSCs. Semi-quantitative PCR confirmed their endothelial differentiation. CD146 + cells express various angiogenic chemokines such as CXCL5, CXCL8, CCL3, and CCL20 and cytokines such as GM-CSF, Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), PDGF AA/BB, Epidermal growth factor (EGF), Endothelin 1, Angiopoietin. In-ovo chick model assay showed that CD146 + cells had superior angiogenesis, with more nodes, junctions, and segments compared to eSCs and controls. Immunohistochemistry confirmed increased expression of endothelial markers (Cluster of differentiation 31, VEGF, Vascular associated protein (VAP), Von Willebrand factor (vWF) in CD146 + cells. The study highlights the angiogenic potential of endometrial stem cells, particularly the CD146 + cell population. These cells promote angiogenesis, secreting growth factors and forming stable blood vessel structures. CD146 + cells have higher expression levels of VEGF and TGF-α, key factors in angiogenesis. This suggests CD146 + eSCs may be promising for therapeutic applications in vascular diseases requiring angiogenesis. Further research is needed.
