    Abstract The number of mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (MSC) therapeutics and types of clinical applications have greatly diversified during the past decade, including rapid growth of poorly regulated "Stem Cell Clinics" offering diverse "Unproven Stem Cell Interventions." This product diversification necessitates a critical evaluation of the reliance on the 2006 MSC minimal criteria to not only define MSC identity but characterize MSC suitability for intravascular administration. While high-quality MSC therapeutics have been safely administered intravascularly in well-controlled clinical trials, repeated case reports of mild-to-more-severe adverse events have been reported. These are most commonly related to thromboembolic complications upon infusion of highly procoagulant tissue factor (TF/CD142)-expressing MSC products. As TF/CD142 expression varies widely depending on the source and manufacturing process of the MSC product, additional clinical cell product characterization and guidelines are needed to ensure the safe use of MSC products. To minimize risk to patients receiving MSC therapy, we here propose to supplement the minimal criteria used for characterization of MSCs, to include criteria that assess the suitability of MSC products for intravascular use. If cell products are intended for intravascular delivery, which is true for half of all clinical applications involving MSCs, the effects of MSC on coagulation and hemocompatibility should be assessed and expression of TF/CD142 should be included as a phenotypic safety marker. This adjunct criterion will ensure both the identity of the MSCs as well as the safety of the MSCs has been vetted prior to intravascular delivery of MSC products.

    Abstract Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were used extensively in building materials, including those used in schools. PCBs accumulate in fat, and exposure to PCBs is associated with the development of cancer, neurodevelopmental disorders, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes. The non-dioxin-like PCB congener, PCB52 (2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl), is found at one of the highest levels of any congener in school air. PCB52 is oxidized in the liver to hydroxylated forms, mainly 4-OH-PCB52 (2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl-4-ol). In a previous study, we reported on RNAseq data generated from exposure of human preadipocytes to the dioxin-like PCB congener, PCB126. In this new dataset, we used identical techniques to examine alterations in gene transcript levels in human preadipocytes exposed to PCB52 or 4-OH-PCB52 over a time course. This updated set of data provides a comprehensive transcriptional profile of changes that occur in preadipocytes exposed to PCB52 or 4-OH-PCB52 over time and allows for comparison of these changes between the parent compound and its hydroxy metabolite. The datasets will allow others to explore how PCB52 and 4-OH-PCB52 impact biological pathways in preadipocytes. Further studies can be performed to determine how these changes might lead to disease.

    Abstract Context: Obesity is a disease with deleterious effects on the female reproductive tract, including the endometrium.
    Objective: We sought to understand the effects of excess adipose on the benign endometrium.
    Design: A physiologic in vitro coculture system was developed, consisting of multicellular human endometrial organoids, adipose spheroids, and menstrual cycle hormones. Native human endometrial tissue samples women with and without obesity were also analyzed.
    Setting: Academic institution.
    Patients: Benign endometrial tissues from premenopausal women were obtained following written consent.
    Main outcome measures: Gene expression, protein expression, chromatin binding, and expression of DNA damage and oxidative damage markers were measured.
    Results: Under high-adiposity conditions, endometrial organoids downregulated endometrial secretory phase genes, suggestive of an altered progesterone response. Progesterone specifically upregulated the metallothionein (MT) gene family in the epithelial cells of endometrial organoids, while high adiposity significantly downregulated the MT genes. Silencing MT genes in endometrial epithelial cells resulted in increased DNA damage, illustrating the protective role of MTs. Native endometrium from women with obesity displayed increased MT expression and oxidative damage in the stroma and not in the epithelium, indicating the cell-specific impact of obesity on MT genes.
    Conclusions: Taken together, the in vitro and in vivo systems used here revealed that high adiposity or obesity can alter MT expression by decreasing progesterone response in the epithelial cells and increasing oxidative stress in the stroma.

    Abstract Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) accumulate in adipose tissue and are linked to obesity and diabetes. The congener, PCB52 (2,2',5,5'-tetrachorobiphenyl), is found at high levels in school air. Hydroxylation of PCB52 to 4-OH-PCB52 (4-hydroxy-2,2',5,5'-tetrachorobiphenyl) may increase its toxicity. To understand PCB52's role in causing adipose dysfunction, we exposed human preadipocytes to PCB52 or 4-OH-PCB52 across a time course and assessed transcript changes using RNAseq. 4-OH-PCB52 caused considerably more changes in the number of differentially expressed genes as compared to PCB52. Both PCB52 and 4-OH-PCB52 upregulated transcript levels of the sulfotransferase SULT1E1 at early time points, but cytochrome P450 genes were generally not affected. A set of genes known to be transcriptionally regulated by PPARα were consistently downregulated by PCB52 at all time points. In contrast, 4-OH-PCB52 affected a variety of pathways, including those involving cytokine responses, hormone responses, focal adhesion, Hippo, and Wnt signaling. Sets of genes known to be transcriptionally regulated by IL17A or parathyroid hormone (PTH) were found to be consistently downregulated by 4-OH-PCB52. Most of the genes affected by PCB52 and 4-OH-PCB52 were different and, of those that were the same, many were changed in an opposite direction. These studies provide insight into how PCB52 or its metabolites may cause adipose dysfunction to cause disease.

    Abstract Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy has seen increased attention as a possible option to treat a number of inflammatory conditions including COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). As rates of obesity and metabolic disease continue to rise worldwide, increasing proportions of patients treated with MSC therapy will be living with obesity. The obese environment poses critical challenges for immunomodulatory therapies that should be accounted for during development and testing of MSCs. In this review, we look to cancer immunotherapy as a model for the challenges MSCs may face in obese environments. We then outline current evidence that obesity alters MSC immunomodulatory function, drastically modifies the host immune system, and therefore reshapes interactions between MSCs and immune cells. Finally, we argue that obese environments may alter essential features of allogeneic MSCs and offer potential strategies for licensing of MSCs to enhance their efficacy in the obese microenvironment. Our aim is to combine insights from basic research in MSC biology and clinical trials to inform new strategies to ensure MSC therapy is effective for a broad range of patients.

    Abstract Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) accumulates in adipose where it may impact the growth and function of cells within the tissue. This is particularly concerning during adolescence when adipocytes expand rapidly. Herein, we sought to understand how exposure to PCB mixtures found in U.S. schools affects human adipose mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) health and function. We investigated how exposure to Aroclor 1016 and Aroclor 1254, as well as a newly characterized non-Aroclor mixture that resembles the PCB profile found in cabinets, Cabinet Mixture, affects adipose MSC growth, viability, and function in vitro. We found that exposure to all three mixtures resulted in two distinct types of toxicity. At PCB concentrations >20 μM, the majority of MSCs die, while at 1-10 μM, MSCs remained viable but display numerous alterations to their phenotype. At these sublethal concentrations, the MSC rate of expansion slowed and morphology changed. Further assessment revealed that PCB-exposed MSCs had impaired adipogenesis and a modest decrease in immunosuppressive capabilities. Thus, exposure to PCB mixtures found in schools negatively impacts the health and function of adipose MSCs. This work has implications for human health due to MSCs' role in supporting the growth and maintenance of adipose tissue.
