Abstract
Background
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) hold promise for cell-based therapies due to their ability to stimulate tissue repair and modulate immune responses. Umbilical cord-derived MSCs from Wharton jelly (WJ) offer advantages such as low immunogenicity and potent immune modulatory effects. However, ensuring consistent quality and safety throughout their manufacturing process remains critical. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) emerges as a crucial tool for assessing genetic stability and expression dynamics in cell-based therapeutic products.
Methods
We examined the secretome and transcriptome of WJ-MSC signatures throughout Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) production, focusing on the performance of total RNA or Massive Analysis of cDNA Ends (MACE) sequencing.
Results
Through extensive transcriptomic analysis, we demonstrated consistent stability of WJ-MSC expression signatures across different manufacturing stages. Notably, MACE-seq showed improved identification of key expression patterns related to senescence and immunomodulation.
Conclusions
These findings highlight the potential of MACE-seq as a quality assessment tool for WJ-MSC-based therapies, ensuring their efficacy and safety in clinical applications. Importantly, MACE-seq demonstrated its value in characterizing WJ-MSC-derived products, offering insights that traditional assays cannot provide.
期刊介绍:
The journal brings readers the latest developments in the fast moving field of cellular therapy in man. This includes cell therapy for cancer, immune disorders, inherited diseases, tissue repair and regenerative medicine. The journal covers the science, translational development and treatment with variety of cell types including hematopoietic stem cells, immune cells (dendritic cells, NK, cells, T cells, antigen presenting cells) mesenchymal stromal cells, adipose cells, nerve, muscle, vascular and endothelial cells, and induced pluripotential stem cells. We also welcome manuscripts on subcellular derivatives such as exosomes. A specific focus is on translational research that brings cell therapy to the clinic. Cytotherapy publishes original papers, reviews, position papers editorials, commentaries and letters to the editor. We welcome "Protocols in Cytotherapy" bringing standard operating procedure for production specific cell types for clinical use within the reach of the readership.
