Abstract

The secretome-mediated responses over cellular physiology are well documented. Stem cells have been ruling the field of secretomics and its role in regenerative medicine since the past few years. However, the mechanistic aspects of secretome-mediated responses and the role of other cells in this area remain somewhat elusive. Here, we investigate the effects of secretome-enriched conditioned medium (CM) of neuronally differentiated PC12 cells on the neuronal differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). The exposure to CM at a ratio of 1:1 (CM: conditioned medium of PC12 cells) led to neuronal induction in hMSCs. This neuronal induction was compared with a parallel group of cells exposed to nerve growth factor (NGF). There was a marked increase in neurite length and expression of neuronal markers (β-III tubulin, neurofilament-M (NF-M), synaptophysin, NeuN in exposed hMSCs). Experimental group co-exposed to NGF and CM showed an additive response via MAPK signaling and directed the cells particularly towards cholinergic lineage. The ability of CM to enhance the neuronal properties of stem cells could aid in their rapid differentiation into neuronal subtypes in case of stem cell transplantation for neuronal injuries, thus broadening the scope of non-stem cell-based applications in the area of secretomics.
