Abstract (original English)

The ability of mesenchymal stromal (stem) cells (MSCs) to be mobilised from their local depot towards sites of injury and to participate in tissue repair makes these cells promising candidates for cell therapy. Physiological O 2 tension in an MSC niche in vivo is about 4-7%. However, most in vitro studies of MSC functional activity are performed at 20% O 2 . Therefore, this study focused on the effects of short-term hypoxic stress (0.1% O 2 , 24 h) on adipose tissue-derived MSC motility at tissue-related O 2 level. No significant changes in integrin expression were detected after short-term hypoxic stress. However, O 2 deprivation provoked vimentin disassembly and actin polymerisation and increased cell stiffness. In addition, hypoxic stress induced the downregulation of ACTR3, DSTN, MACF1, MID1, MYPT1, NCK1, ROCK1, TIAM1 , and WASF1 expression, the products of which are known to be involved in leading edge formation and cell translocation. These changes were accompanied by the attenuation of targeted and nontargeted migration of MSCs after short-term hypoxic exposure, as demonstrated in scratch and transwell migration assays. These results indicate that acute hypoxic stress can modulate MSC function in their native milieu, preventing their mobilisation from sites of injury.
