This study compares the differences in neuro-regenerative properties of MSC-derived EVs generated in 2D and 3D culture systems. The findings show that 3D culture system produces EVs with higher concentration, more heterogeneous phenotype, and enhanced ability to promote neurite growth and elongation. This has important implications for the scalable production of MSC-derived EVs and their therapeutic applications.
Purpose: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated to possess great potential in preclinical models. An efficient biomanufacturing platform is necessary for scale up production for clinical therapeutic applications. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential differences in neuro-regenerative properties of MSC-derived EVs generated in 2D versus 3D culture systems. Method: Human bone marrow MSCs (BM-MSCs) were cultured in 2D monolayer and 3D bioreactor systems. EVs were isolated using ultracentrifugation followed by size and concentration measurements utilizing dynamic light scattering (NanoSight) and by fluorescence staining (ExoView). Mouse trigeminal ganglia (TG) neurons were isolated from BALB/c mice and cultured in the presence or absence of EVs derived from 2D or 3D culture systems. Neuronal growth and morphology were monitored over 5 days followed by immunostaining for beta 3 tubulin. Confocal images were analyzed by Neurolucida software to obtain the density and length of the neurites. Results: The NanoSight tracking analysis revealed a remarkable increase (24-fold change) in the concentration of EVs obtained from the 3D versus 2D culture condition. ExoView analysis showed a significantly higher concentration of CD63, CD81, and CD9 markers in the EVs derived from 3D versus 2D conditions. Furthermore, a notable shift toward a more heterogeneous phenotype was observed in the 3D-derived EVs compared to those from 2D culture systems. EVs derived from both culture conditions remarkably induced neurite growth and elongation after 5 days in culture compared to untreated control. Neurolucida analysis of the immunostaining images (beta 3 tubulin) showed a significant increase in neurite length in TG neurons treated with 3D- versus 2D-derived EVs (3301.5 mu m vs. 1860.5 mu m, P < 0.05). Finally, Sholl analysis demonstrated a significant increase in complexity of the neuronal growth in neurons treated with 3D- versus 2D-derived EVs (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This study highlights considerable differences in EVs obtained from different culture microenvironments, which could have implications for their therapeutic effects and potency. The 3D culture system seems to provide a preferred environment that modulates the paracrine function of the cells and the release of a higher number of EVs with enhanced biophysical properties and functions in the context of neurite elongation and growth. Highlights Extracellular vesicles (EV) derived from 2D and 3D bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) demonstrate different characterization phenotype. Heterogeneity and concentration of BM-MSCs-derived extracellular vesicles are highly impacted by the culture conditions. 3D-derived EVs can significantly enhance trigeminal nerves elongation and complexity compared to 2D-derived EVs. 3D culture conditions are highly efficient environment for upscale production of MSC-derived EVs with enhanced neuro-regeneration properties for corneal nerve regeneration.
