In recent years, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown promise as a therapy in treating musculoskeletal diseases, and it is currently believed that their therapeutic effect is mainly related to the release of proteins and extracellular vesicles (EVs), known as secretome. In this work, three batches of canine MSC-secretome were prepared by standardized processes according to the current standard ISO9001 and formulated as a freeze-dried powder named Lyosecretome. The final products were characterized in protein and lipid content, EV size distribution and tested to ensure the microbiological safety required for intraarticular injection. Lyosecretome induced the proliferation of adipose tissue-derived canine MSCs, tenocytes, and chondrocytes in a dose-dependent manner and showed anti-elastase activity, reaching 85% of inhibitory activity at a 20 mg/mL concentration. Finally, to evaluate the safety of the preparation, three patients affected by bilateral knee or elbow osteoarthritis were treated with two intra-articular injections (t = 0 and t = 40 days) of the allogeneic Lyosecretome (20 mg corresponding 2 × 10 cell equivalents) resuspended in hyaluronic acid in one joint and placebo (mannitol resuspended in hyaluronic acid) in the other joint. To establish the safety of the treatment, the follow-up included a questionnaire addressed to the owner and orthopaedic examinations to assess lameness grade, pain score, functional disability score and range of motion up to day 80 post-treatment. Overall, the collected data suggest that intra-articular injection of allogeneic Lyosecretome is safe and does not induce a clinically significant local or systemic adverse response.
近年来,间充质基质细胞(MSCs)在治疗肌肉骨骼疾病方面显示出作为一种疗法的潜力,目前认为它们的治疗效果主要与蛋白质和细胞外囊泡(EVs)的释放有关,这些被称为分泌组。在这项工作中,根据现行的ISO9001标准,通过标准化流程制备了三批犬MSC分泌组,并制成名为Lyosecretome的冻干粉。对最终产品进行了蛋白质和脂质含量、EV大小分布的表征,并进行了测试以确保关节内注射所需的微生物安全性。Lyosecretome以剂量依赖的方式诱导脂肪组织来源的犬MSC、肌腱细胞和软骨细胞的增殖,并显示出抗弹性蛋白酶活性,在浓度为20 mg/mL时达到85%的抑制活性。最后,为了评估该制剂的安全性,对三名双侧膝关节或肘关节骨关节炎患者进行了治疗,在一个关节内注射两次同种异体Lyosecretome(20 mg相当于2×10个细胞当量)重悬于透明质酸中(t = 0和t = 40天),在另一个关节内注射安慰剂(甘露醇重悬于透明质酸中)。为了确定治疗的安全性,随访包括向主人发放问卷以及进行骨科检查,以评估跛行等级、疼痛评分、功能障碍评分和治疗后80天内的活动范围。总体而言,收集到的数据表明关节内注射同种异体Lyosecretome是安全的,不会引起临床上显著的局部或全身不良反应。
