Summary: | Significant progress has been witnessed in the last decade documenting the use of human
mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (hMSCs) as an alternative resource for cell replacement
therapy owing to their intrinsic features of self-renewal and differentiation capacity into
therapeutically valuable cell types. However, the yield of isolated hMSCs from donor tissues is
usually inadequate, suggesting the need for the expansion of hMSCs in culture to meet the
clinical need. However, hMSCs undergo cellular ageing, thus limiting their proliferation and
differentiation potential in long term-culture. Cellular ageing is the manifestation of a complex
interplay of molecular pathways between the gene expression and microniche which is govern
by many processes including miRNA dysregulation. In this study, we aimed to determine
molecular signatures of primary hMSCs isolated from deciduous pulp (SHED) and Wharton’s
Jelly (WJSCs) associated with cellular ageing during in vitro passaging. We found phenotypic
changes of primary hMSCs isolated from SHED and WJSCs by passaging in culture.
Subsequently, molecular profiling showed a set of diverse miRNA and mRNAs that were
deregulated in SHED and WJSCs. With this platform, an overlap of up-regulated and downregulated miRNAs between SHED and WJSCs was observed. Notably, the hsa-miR-22, hsamiR-485-5p and hsa-miR-let-7a have been identified as the cellular senescence inducers were
show highly up-regulation. Whereas, hsa-miR-302a, hsa-miR-373 and hsa-miR-520e were
found commonly down-regulation in both cell types. These miRNAs are known as signature
miRNAs in stem cells involved in maintaining stemness biological process. Moreover, the
predicted miRNA targets of both samples that captured in this study are show involved in
modulate cellular activity by regulating many cellular processes including cell cycle,
senescence, proliferative pathways, cell death and survival as well as metabolism related
functions. Importantly, the integration analysis of miRNA/mRNA revealed that differentially
expressed genes were associated with inflammatory signalling and cell cycle G2/M DNA
damage regulation. The data presented here is in agreement with the basic characteristic studies
iv
which demonstrate the physiological changes of SHED and WJSCs during in vitro passaging.
Taken together, it is intended that our study will contribute to the understanding of these
miRNA/mRNA driving the biological process of cellular ageing in hMSCs. These will not only
improve our fundamental knowledge of the ageing process but will also advance the
development of a more effective and affordable targeted intervention approach for generating
therapeutically valuable cell resources for treating many degenerative diseases.
