Human Umbilical Cord Tissue-Derived Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Exhibit Maximum Secretory Activity in the Presence of Umbilical Cord Blood Serum

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2020 Aug;169(4):544-548. doi: 10.1007/s10517-020-04926-2. Epub 2020 Sep 10.

Abstract

Using multiplex analysis, we performed a comparative study of cytokine and growth factor production by human umbilical cord tissue-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSC) cultured under standard conditions and in the presence of human umbilical cord blood serum (UCBS). It was found that the secretion of most studied molecules, including well-known inductors of regeneration HGF, G-CSF, GM-CSF, and VEGF by UCMSC considerably increased in the presence of 5% UCBS. The use of UCBS allows not only obtaining xenogenic-free cellular and cell-free therapeutic products, but also increasing the secretion of most biologically active molecules capable of stimulating repair processes.

Keywords: cord blood serum; cytokines; growth factors; multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells; umbilical cord.
