Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are the main cellular components of the bone marrow, providing a supportive cellular microenvironment to maintain healthy hematopoiesis. beta-thalassemia major (beta-TM) is characterized by anemia that is caused by a genetic defect in hemoglobin synthesis and results in ineffective erythropoiesis (IE). The alterations in the microenvironment in thalassemic bone marrow during IE can cause changes in BM-MSCs. This study aimed to investigate global structural and compositional changes in BM-MSCs in beta-TM that may provide a basis in understanding interactions of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs)-MSCs in such a pathological bone marrow microenvironment. Following characterization of morphological, immunophenotypical, and differentiation properties, the changes in healthy and thalassemic BM-MSCs before and after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) were examined by attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR). The significant increase in lipid, protein, glycogen, and nucleic acid contents in thalassemic BM-MSCs with respect to healthy BM-MSCs was attributed to enhanced cell proliferation and BM activity during IE. The significant decreases in the content of mentioned macromolecules in post-transplant group BM-MSCs versus pre-transplant BM-MSCs was interpreted as restoring effect of BMT therapy on IE and defective BM microenvironment. These alterations were also supported by ELISA results of erythropoietin (EPO) and growth differentiation factor (GDF15) in bone marrow plasma samples as a reflection of IE and by MTT proliferation assay on BM-MSCs. Based on these changes, sampling groups were discriminated by cluster analysis. These results provide information for the studies that concentrate on interactions between HSCs-MSCs in bone marrow.

Homing is the process that stem cells move to their own stem cell niches under the influence of chemokines like stromal-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) upon bone marrow transplantation (BMT). There is a need for increasing homing efficiency after BMT since only 10-15% of the transplanted cells can home to their own niches and a limited amount of donor marrow can be transplanted. In this study, we aimed to develop and characterize bone marrow targeted liposomal SDF-1α delivery system prepared by extrusion method....
Characterization and identification of human mesenchymal stem cells at molecular level
Aksoy, Ceren; Severcan, Feride; Çetinkaya, Duygu Uçkan; Department of Biotechnology (2012)
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are pluripotent cells that can differentiate into a variety of non-hematopoietic tissues. They also maintain healthy heamatopoiesis by providing supportive cellular microenvironment into BM. In this thesis, MSCs were characterized in terms of their morphological, immunophenotypical and differentiation properties. Then, they were examined by attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy together with hierarchical clustering, and FT...

Extracellular nanovesicles, particularly exosomes, can deliver their diverse bioactive biomolecular content, including miRNAs, proteins, and lipids, thus providing a context for investigating the capability of exosomes to induce stem cells toward lineage-specific cells and tissue regeneration. In this study, it is demonstrated that rat subventricular zone neural stem cell-derived exosomes (rSVZ-NSCExo) can control neural-lineage specification of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs).

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) present in the bloodstream are strongly linked to the invasive behavior of cancer; therefore, their detection holds great significance for monitoring disease progression. Currently available CTC isolation tools are often based on tumor-specific antigen or cell size approaches. However, these techniques are limited due to the lack of a unique and universal marker for CTCs, and the overlapping size between CTCs and regular blood cells. Dielectrophoresis (DEP), governed by the in...

This animal study evaluated bone healing around titanium implant surfaces biomimetically coated with bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2) and/or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by examining bone matrix proteins and mineralisation. Five different implant surfaces were established: acid-etched surface (AE), biomimetic calcium phosphate surface (CAP), BMP-2 loaded CAP surface, VEGF loaded CAP surface and dual BMP-2 + VEGF loaded CAP surface. The implants were inserted into calvariae of adult domestic p...
