    Abstract Transamniotic stem cell therapy (TRASCET) is an emerging strategy for prenatal stem cell therapy involving the least invasive method described to date of delivering select stem cells to virtually any anatomical site in the fetus, including the blood and bone marrow, as well as to fetal annexes, including the placenta. Such broad therapeutic potential derives, to a large extent, from unique routing patterns following stem cell delivery into the amniotic fluid, which have commonalities with naturally occurring fetal cell kinetics. First reported experimentally only less than a decade ago, TRASCET has yet to be attempted clinically, though a first clinical trial appears imminent. Despite significant experimental advances, much promise and perhaps excessive publicity, most cell-based therapies have yet to deliver meaningful large-scale impact to patient care. The few exceptions typically consist of therapies based on the amplification of the normal biological role played by the given cells in their natural environment. Therein lays much of the appeal of TRASCET, in that it, too, is in essence a magnification of naturally occurring processes in the distinctive environment of the maternal-fetal unit. As much as fetal stem cells possess unique characteristics compared with other stem cells, so does the fetus when compared with any other age group, converging into a scenario that enables therapeutic paradigms exclusive to prenatal life. This review summarizes the diversity of applications and biological responses associated with the TRASCET principle.

    Abstract Regenerative medicine as it applies to spina bifida is a multi-pronged endeavor involving spinal cord repair, tissue engineering and fetal regeneration, all of which can mutually overlap to variable extents. The efforts involving spinal cord repair, whether they be cell-based or not, are virtually indistinguishable from the enormous body of work related to spinal cord recovery after traumatic injury. Tissue engineering, on the other hand, can involve a variety of structures besides constructs used for covering the spina bifida defect, for example the urinary bladder, bone, muscle and skin. This brief review will not delve into any of these two main areas, which actually can also involve fetal interventions within their respective realms, but rather be devoted to a very recent development making use of the uniquely enhanced ability of the fetus to repair, or regenerate areas of tissue damage, coined transamniotic stem cell therapy, or TRASCET. TRASCET is a still experimental therapeutic paradigm for the treatment of not only spina bifida, but also other birth defects, based on the principle of harnessing/enhancing the normal biological role of a select population of stem cells that naturally occur in the amniotic fluid, specifically amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cells (afMSCs), for therapeutic benefit.

    Abstract Transamniotic stem cell therapy, or TRASCET, is an emerging therapeutic concept for the management of congenital anomalies based on the augmentation of the biological role of select populations of stem cells that already occur in the amniotic fluid, for targeted therapeutic benefit. Amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cells (afMSCs) have a central role in the enhanced ability of the fetus to repair tissue damage. This germane recent finding constitutes the biological foundation for the use of afMSCs in TRASCET. It has been shown experimentally that simple intra-amniotic delivery of afMSCs in large numbers can either elicit the repair, or significantly mitigate the effects associated with major congenital anomalies by boosting the activity that these cells normally have. For example, TRASCET can induce partial or complete coverage of experimental spina bifida by promoting the local formation of host-derived skin, thus protecting the spinal cord from further damage. In another example, it can significantly alleviate the bowel damage associated with gastroschisis, one of the most common major abdominal wall defects. Other applications involving different congenital anomalies and/or other stem cells present in the amniotic fluid in diseased pregnancies are currently under investigation in this freshly evolving facet of fetal stem cell therapy.

    Abstract Introduction: Therapies based on exogenous messenger RNA (mRNA) administration have emerged as a powerful novel strategy for the actual or potential treatment of an assortment of diseases, including congenital surgical pathologies. We sought to determine whether the minimally invasive transamniotic route could be an alternative for prenatal mRNA delivery.
    Methods: Pregnant Sprague-Dawley dams underwent laparotomy followed by volume-matched intra-amniotic injections in all their fetuses (n = 120) of either a suspension of a custom firefly luciferase mRNA encapsulated by a lipid- and synthetic cationic polymer-based composite, or of a suspension of the same encapsulation components without mRNA, on gestational day 17 (E17; term = E21-22). On E18, E19, E20, and E21, samples from 14 fetal anatomical sites and maternal serum were procured for the screening of mRNA incorporation by host cells by measurement of luciferase activity via microplate luminometry. Statistical analysis was by Mann-Whitney U-test, including Bonferroni-adjustment.
    Results: Overall survival was 87.5% (105/120). Controlled by the encapsulating composite without mRNA, luciferase activity was detected in the animals that received encapsulated mRNA in the following fetal annexes: amniotic fluid, amnion, chorion, umbilical cord, and placenta (P = 0.033 to <0.001), as well as in the following fetal sites: liver, stomach, intestines, and lungs (P = 0.043-0.002).
    Conclusions: Packaged exogenous mRNA can be incorporated by the fetus at least at select anatomical sites after simple intra-amniotic administration in a rodent model. The pattern and chronology of mRNA incorporation are compatible with transplacental hematogenous routing, as well as with fetal swallowing/aspiration. Further study of transamniotic mRNA administration is warranted.

    Abstract Transamniotic stem cell therapy (TRASCET) is a novel prenatal therapeutic alternative for the treatment of congenital anomalies. It is based upon the principle of augmenting the pre-existing biological role of select populations of fetal stem cells for targeted therapeutic benefit. For example, amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cells (afMSCs) play an integral role in fetal tissue repair, validating the use of afMSCs in regenerative strategies. The simple intra-amniotic delivery of these cells in expanded numbers via TRASCET has been shown to promote the repair of and/or significantly ameliorate the effects associated with major congenital anomalies such as neural tube and abdominal wall defects. For example, TRASCET can induce partial or complete coverage of experimental spina bifida through the formation of a host-derived rudimentary neoskin, thus protecting the spinal cord from further damage secondary to amniotic fluid exposure. Furthermore, TRASCET can significantly reduce the bowel inflammation associated with gastroschisis, a common major abdominal wall defect. After intra-amniotic injection, donor stem cells home to the placenta and the fetal bone marrow in the spina bifida model, suggesting a role for hematogenous cell routing rather than direct defect seeding. Therefore, the expansion of TRASCET to congenital diseases without amniotic fluid exposure, such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia, as well as to maternal diseases, is currently under investigation in this emerging and evolving field of fetal stem cell therapy.

    Abstract Purpose: We compared transamniotic stem cell therapy (TRASCET) using either mesenchymal (MSCs) or hematopoietic (HSCs) stem cells on fetal hematopoiesis in a syngeneic model of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
    Methods: Lewis dams exposed to cycling hypoxia (10.5% O
    Results: Overall survival from hypoxia was 41% (34/83). Red blood count (RBC), hematocrit (Hct) and hemoglobin levels (Hb) were all significantly decreased from normal in all hypoxia groups. TRASCET with primed-MSC had significantly higher RBC, Hct, and Hb levels than sham (p = 0.01-0.03, pairwise), though not than untreated (which had no surgical blood loss). The HSC group had only significantly higher Hb levels than sham (p = 0.005). TRASCET with primed-MSC had significantly lower levels of placental TNF-α than sham (p = 0.04), but not untreated.
    Conclusions: MCSs seem more effective than HSCs in enhancing hematopoiesis when used as donor cells for TRASCET in a syngeneic model of IUGR.
    Level of evidence: N/A (animal and laboratory study).
