Title Rejuvenation of human mesenchymal stem cells using a nonintegrative and conditionally removable Sendai virus vector.
Journal Sci Rep
Abstract Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) with extended lifespan and differentiation potential that can recapitulate in vivo characteristics could significantly contribute to basic research, drug development, and cell therapy. Specifically, they could ensure a stable supply of specific cellular resources, and possibly extracellular vesicles. Here, we established a technology for extending the lifespan while maintaining differentiation potential, termed "rejuvenation," of hMSCs (rej-hMSCs) using nonintegrative and conditionally removable temperature-sensitive Sendai virus (SeV) vectors. Various immortalizing factors (i.e., Bmi-1, hTERT, SV40T, and/or HPV E6/E7) were first introduced by the SeV vector into the cells. A combination of three SeVs with Bmi-1, hTERT, or SV40T conferred markedly improved cell proliferation and cloning ability while maintaining differentiation potential and a normal karyotype. An extended lifespan was also demonstrated in other cell types. The rejuvenation of long-passaged or aged hMSCs was also confirmed. SeV vectors were rapidly removed as a function of cell doubling by increasing the temperature from 35 °C to 37 °C or higher, while proliferative ability was maintained. Following FACS sorting, the complete removal of SeV vectors was confirmed by qPCR analyses. Therefore, our cell rejuvenation technology could contribute to research and clinical applications by enabling the supply of modified cells without damaging host chromosomes.
