Abstract (original English)

Introduction Multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widespread in adult organisms and are implicated in tissue maintenance and repair, regulation of hematopoiesis, and immunologic responses. Human (h)MSCs have applications in tissue engineering, cell-based therapy, and medical devices but it is unclear how they respond to unfavorable conditions such as hypoxia or inflammation after in vivo transplantation. Although endotoxin testing is a requirement for evaluating the quality and safety of transplanted MSCs, there have been no reports on the dose response to endotoxins to establish limits for in vitro MSC culture systems. The present study aimed to accurately quantify the risk of endotoxin contamination in cell culture systems in order to establish the acceptable endotoxin limit for hMSC proliferation. Methods Three types of bone marrow-derived hMSC (hMSC-1: 21 years, M/B; hMSC-2: 36 years, M/B; hMSC-3: 43 years, M/C) and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs; StemPro Human) were cultured in medium from commercial kits containing various concentrations of endotoxin (0.1-1000 ng/ml). The proliferative capacity of cells was estimated by cell counts using a hemocytometer. To clarify the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of endotoxin on hMSCs proliferation, cellular proteins were extracted from cultured cells and subjected to liquid chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometry
