3D Spheroid Culture Enhances the Expression of Antifibrotic Factors in Human Adipose-Derived MSCs and Improves Their Therapeutic Effects on Hepatic Fibrosis

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture has been reported to increase the therapeutic potentials of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, the action mechanisms of 3D MSCs vary greatly and are far from being thoroughly investigated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of 3D spheroids of human adipose-derived MSCs for hepatic fibrosis. Our results showed that 3D culture enhanced the expression of antifibrotic factors by MSCs, including insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6… Show more

“…The MSCs cultured in 3D were found to secrete higher levels of antifibrotic factors like insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), which are helpful in treating fibrosis. (19) Similarly, MSCs cultured in 3D spheroids instead of 2D monolayer cultures were found to survive better and display improved therapeutic effects when injected in sites of acute kidney injury. (20) In addition, Gaedtke et al performed proteome analysis on low-passage colon carcinoma cells cultured as multicellular spheroids versus monolayers, and identifies differences in protein expression levels relevant to tumor cell proliferation, survival, and chemoresistance.…”

“…Several studies, including one in four patients with cirrhosis, have shown that ASC can reduce alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin while increasing albumin and maintaining prothrombin activity (Fig. D) . This may be due to the ability of ASC to reduce liver fibrosis through reduced inflammation, reduced apoptosis, and improved hepatocyte regeneration .…”

“…While 3D culture could restore the expression of these receptors, which were critical for MSCs homing to the injury site 30 , 31 . The 3D MSCs have been reported to be beneficial for liver fibrosis and hepatitis 32 , 33 , but their effect on hepatic IRI remains largely unknown. Different kind of MSCs exhibits different immunobiological properties, among which umbilical cord lining MSCs (UC-MSCs) have especially low immunogenicity compared with other extraembryonic tissueā€“derived MSCs 34 .…”
