mitochondrial transfer via tunneling nanotubes between mesenchymal stem cells and retinal pigment epithelium in vitro

Mitochondria serve as the primary energy source for most cell types, with mitochondrial dysfunction particularly impacting high-energy-demanding tissues like the retina1. Metabolic alterations in the retina can trigger a bioenergetic crisis, ultimately resulting in the death of photoreceptors and/or RPE cells2. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies have demonstrated efficacy in treating ocular degeneration, and one of the precise mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of MSCs on retinal tissues may be attributed to functional mitochondrial transfer3,4,5,6. In 2004, Rustom et al. first reported the phenomenon of mitochondrial transfer through a novel cell-to-cell interaction facilitated by tunneling nanotubes (TNTs)7.
In 2D culture, tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are identified by their thin (20-700 nm) membrane protrusions ranging from tens to hundreds of nanometers in length, which are suspended over the substrate and can directly establish connections between two or more homotypic and heterotypic cells. These structures are notably enriched in F-actin and facilitate the transport of cargo, such as mitochondria, between cells. Additionally, TNTs possess openings at both ends, enabling the continuity of cytoplasmic content between interconnected cells8.
It is difficult to detect TNT-mediated mitochondrial transfer in vivo due to the dense cellular arrangement and challenges in tracking mitochondria. In vitro experimentation, utilizing cell co-culture and mitochondrial tracing techniques, allows for the observation of TNT formation and mitochondrial transfer8,9. We also observed the phenomenon of TNT-mediated mitochondrial transfer by co-culturing MSCs and retinal pigment epithelial cells in vitro10.
Many previous studies have only observed unidirectional mitochondrial transfer from MSCs to other cells3,4,5,6. Previously, we also tried to analyze the bidirectional mitochondrial transfer using two kinds of cells labeled with mito-tracker green and mito-tracker red, respectively, but the crosstalk of the dyes interfered with the experimental results. To study mitochondrial bidirectional transfer more precisely, here, we constructed two cell lines with different mitochondrial fluorescence using the lentiviral transfection technique, and subsequently, observed and analyzed the phenomena of TNT formation and mitochondrial bidirectional transfer by direct co-culture in vitro.
In brief, a step-by-step and actionable protocol is described here as to how to trace mitochondria, co-culture MSCs with ARPE19 cells, and analyze TNT formation and mitochondrial transfer. The results of this experiment demonstrated TNT-mediated bidirectional mitochondrial transfer, which not only proved that mitochondrial transport is a common physiological phenomenon but also showed the potential therapeutic ability of MSCs on retinal cells.

Trasferimento mitocondriale tramite nanotubi di tunneling tra cellule staminali mesenchimali ed epitelio pigmentato retinico in vitro

Our study focused on bi-direction mitochondrial transfer between MSC and the retinal pigment epithelial cells. We are investigating the transfer of mitochondria between cells and determining the ratio of mitochondrial transfer in two different directions. It is difficult to detect TNT-mediated mitochondrial transfer in vivo due to the dense senior arrangement and challenges to in and tracking mitochondria.It is also difficult to label the mitochondria of two different cells with different colors. Our previous study observed the phenomena of TNT-mediated mitochondrial transfer by co-capturing MSC in retinal cells, including corneal endothelial cells, photoreceptors, and retinal pigment signal cells in vitro. Functional mitochondrial transfer from MSC can rescue damaged and retinal cells.

Mitochondrial transfer is a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs widely among various types of cells. In the study to date, the most important ...

Mitochondrial Transfer Via Tunneling Nanotubes Between Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Retinal Pigment Epithelium In Vitro

394 Views.  Capital Medical University. Il nostro studio si è concentrato sul trasferimento mitocondriale bidirezionale tra le MSC e le cellule epiteliali pigmentate retiniche. Stiamo studiando il trasferimento dei mitocondri tra le cellule e determinando il rapporto di trasferimento mitocondriale in due direzioni diverse. È difficile rilevare il trasferimento mitocondriale mediato da TNT in vivo a causa della densa disposizione senior e delle sfide per l'inserimento e il tracciamento dei mitocon...
