Histological evaluations of mesenchymal stem cell therapy in a preterm IVH rabbit model. / Histologiska evalueringar av mesenkymal stamcellsterapi i en prematur IVH-kaninmodell.

Tordebrand, Emma January 2022 (has links)
Human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has shown neuroprotective effects and improvement on recovery from neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). This study focused on histological evaluations of human amniotic fluid MSC therapy during early prenatal life in a preterm IVH rabbit model. IVH was diagnosed at 24 h of age with ultrasound and animals were randomized into subgroups with confirmed IVH and an IVH negative control group. Animals with confirmed IVH received vehicle only or MSCs at two different doses via intraperitoneal administration. The animals were sacrificed at 48 h post administration. The severity of IVH was histologically analyzed via staining of endogenous peroxidase activity in cryosections and the distribution of red blood cells and cell-free hemoglobin was scored. Primary antibodies targeting human epitopes were validated in IHC assays of frozen MSC pellet. An anti-human nuclear mitotic apparatus (hNuMA) antibody labeled the majority of cells in the MSC pellet and did not cross-react with rabbit NuMA when tested in the nontreated rabbit brain. Significant levels of red blood cells and cell-free hemoglobin were found in the IVH confirmed group, whereas the control group showed no hemorrhage. The MSC therapy groups showed similar scoring results as the IVH-vehicle group. Anti-hNuMA immunolabeling did not detect any cells in the brain of MSC treated rabbits. However, extracellular (nonnuclear) immunolabeling was detected, located in the midbrain of the animals that received MSCs, indicating the presence of MSC nuclear debris. The preterm rabbit model was proven successful for inducing IVH, whereas MSC treatment did not affect the degree of hemorrhage. To increase the possibility to detect the MSCs post administration, future studies should include prelabeling of the MSCs with a suitable cell tracker and analyses at time points closer to the administration of MSCs. / Human mesenkymal stamcellsterapi har visat neuroprotektiva effekter samt förbättring av återhämtning efter neonatal intraventrikulär blödning (IVH). Denna studie fokuserade på histologiska utvärderingar av stamcellsterapi med humana mesenkymala stamceller (MSC) från fostervatten under tidigt prenatalt liv i en prematur IVH-kaninmodell. IVH diagnostiserades med ultraljud vid 24 tim. ålder och djuren delades slumpmässigt in i undergrupper med konfirmerad IVH och en IVH-negativ kontrollgrupp. Djur med konfirmerad IVH mottog endast bärmedel eller MSC i två olika doser via intraperitoneal administration. Djuren avlivades 48 tim. post administration. Graden av IVH analyserades histologiskt genom färgning av peroxidasaktivitet i kryosnitt av hjärna och distributionen av erytrocyter samt fritt hemoglobin graderades. Primärantikroppar riktade mot humana epitop validerades i immunhistokemiska analyser av fryst MSC-pellet. En anti-human nukleär mitotisk apparat (hNuMA) antikropp märkte majoriteten av cellerna i MSC-pelleten och korsreagerade inte med kanin-NuMA under försök i obehandlad kaninhjärna. Signifikanta nivåer av erytrocyter och fritt hemoglobin påvisades i gruppen med konfirmerad IVH, medan kontrollgruppen inte visade någon blödning. Samtliga IVH-grupper; IVH-vehicle och de som mottog MSC- terapi, visade liknande blödningsgrad. Anti-hNuMA-immuninmärkning kunde inte detektera några celler i de MSC-behandlade kaninhjärnorna. Dock detekterades extracellulär (icke-nukleär) immuninmärkning lokaliserad i mitthjärnan hos de djur som mottog MSC, vilket indikerar närvaro av nukleär MSC-debris. Den prematura kaninmodellen bevisades vara framgångsrik för induktion av IVH, men MSC-terapi påverkade inte blödningsgraden. För att öka sannolikheten att detektera MSC efter administration, borde framtida studier inkludera förmärkning av MSC med en lämplig cellmarkör samt analyser vid tidpunkter närmare administrationen av MSC.
