“…In line with our findings previous studies have already reported that cryopreservation can rather influence activation status than frequency or function of mononuclear cells. In particular, human T-cells, monocytes or circulating angiogenic cells can be thawed without considerable alteration of their phenotype and function [13] – [15] . Cryopreservation is also routinely used for storage of autologous CD34 + cells suggesting that cryopreserved blood cells usually match fine fresh cells [16] .…”

Characterization of the CD14++CD16+ Monocyte Population in Human Bone Marrow

Numerous studies have divided blood monocytes according to their expression of the surface markers CD14 and CD16 into following subsets: classical CD14++CD16−, intermediate CD14++CD16+ and nonclassical CD14+CD16++ monocytes. These subsets differ in phenotype and function and are further correlated to cardiovascular disease, inflammation and cancer. However, the CD14/CD16 nature of resident monocytes in human bone marrow remains largely unknown. In the present study, we identified a major population of CD14++CD16+ monocytes by using cryopreserved bone marrow mononuclear cells from healthy donors. These cells express essential monocyte-related antigens and chemokine receptors such as CD11a, CD18, CD44, HLA-DR, Ccr2, Ccr5, Cx3cr1, Cxcr2 and Cxcr4. Notably, the expression of Ccr2 was inducible during culture. Furthermore, sorted CD14++CD16+ bone marrow cells show typical macrophage morphology, phagocytic activity, angiogenic features and generation of intracellular oxygen species. Side-by-side comparison of the chemokine receptor profile with unpaired blood samples also demonstrated that these rather premature medullar monocytes mainly match the phenotype of intermediate and partially of (non)classical monocytes. Together, human monocytes obviously acquire their definitive CD14/CD16 signature in the bloodstream and the medullar monocytes probably transform into CD14++CD16− and CD14+CD16++ subsets which appear enriched in the periphery.

“…The low temperatures allow the cells to enter a quiescent state in which cellular functions are suspended without affecting their intrinsic characteristics (1). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are frequently cryopreserved for use in transplants or immunological studies (2,3). However, the cryopreservation process may affect viability, phenotype, and cellular functionality due to factors such as inadequate temperatures, the freezing protocol used, the expertise of the personnel, and freezing time (4,5).…”

bCryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are widely used in studies of dengue. In this disease, elevated frequency of apoptotic PBMCs has been described, and molecules such as soluble tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosisinducing ligands (sTRAIL) are involved. This effect of dengue may affect the efficiency of PBMC cryopreservation. Here, we evaluate the viability (trypan blue dye exclusion and amine-reactive dye staining) and functionality (frequency of gamma interferon [IFN-␥]-producing T cells after polyclonal stimulation) of fresh and cryopreserved PBMCs from children with dengue (in acute and convalescence phases), children with other febrile illnesses, and healthy children as controls. Plasma sTRAIL levels were also evaluated. The frequencies of nonviable PBMCs detected by the two viability assays were positively correlated (r ‫؍‬ 0.74; P < 0.0001). Cryopreservation particularly affected the PBMCs of children with dengue, who had a higher frequency of nonviable cells than healthy children and children with other febrile illnesses (P < 0.02), and PBMC viability levels were restored in the convalescent phase. In the acute phase, an increased frequency of CD3 ؉ CD8 ؉ amine-positive cells was found before cryopreservation (P ‫؍‬ 0.01). Except for B cells in the acute phase, cryopreservation usually did not affect the relative frequencies of viable PBMC subpopulations. Dengue infection reduced the frequency of IFN-␥-producing CD3؉ cells after stimulation compared with healthy controls and convalescent-phase patients (P < 0.003), and plasma sTRAIL correlated with this decreased frequency in dengue (rho ‫؍‬ ؊0.56; P ‫؍‬ 0.01). Natural dengue infection in children can affect the viability and functionality of cryopreserved PBMCs. Cryopreservation is the maintenance of cells and biological tissues at low temperatures and is based on the use of various media or solutions that form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, preventing cellular damage. The low temperatures allow the cells to enter a quiescent state in which cellular functions are suspended without affecting their intrinsic characteristics (1). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are frequently cryopreserved for use in transplants or immunological studies (2, 3). However, the cryopreservation process may affect viability, phenotype, and cellular functionality due to factors such as inadequate temperatures, the freezing protocol used, the expertise of the personnel, and freezing time (4, 5). The disease of the individual from whom the PBMCs come also affects cryopreservation. For example, PBMCs from subjects infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) presented reduced viability after cryopreservation, possibly due to the increased numbers of apoptotic cells circulating during the course of the disease (6). Similar findings have been found in the acute phases of diseases, such as visceral leishmaniasis (7). Particularly for HIV, great efforts have been undertaken to optimize the evaluation and comparability of immune tests...

“…All tissue samples were sectioned and randomly allocated to immediate cell culture (fresh tissue), immediate cryopreservation or delayed cryopreservation after 24 hours of refrigeration (4°C) in cardioplegia solution (lactated ringers, 2% St Thomas solution, 5 mEq NaHCO3 and 10 mEq KCl; Thermo Fisher Scientific). Tissue samples were cryopreserved to -80°C within 5% dimethyl sulfoxide, 6% fetal bovine serum within Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium [ 9 ]. One month later, cryopreserved tissue specimen vials were recovered in a 37°C water bath prior to processing.…”

The value of preserving high quality bio specimens for fundamental research is significant as linking cellular and molecular changes to clinical and epidemiological data has fueled many recent advances in medicine. Unfortunately, storage of traditional biospecimens is limited to fixed samples or isolated genetic material. Here, we report the effect of cryopreservation of routine myocardial biopsies on explant derived cardiac stem cell (EDC) culture outcomes. We demonstrate that immediate cryopreservation or delayed cryopreservation after suspension within cardioplegia for 12 hours did not alter EDC yields, proliferative capacity, antigenic phenotype or paracrine signature. Cryopreservation had negligible effects on the ability of EDCs to adopt a cardiac lineage, stimulate new vessel growth, attract circulating angiogenic cells and repair injured myocardium. Finally, cryopreservation did not influence the ability of EDCs to undergo genetic reprogramming into inducible pluripotent stem cells. This study establishes a means of storing cardiac samples as a retrievable live cell source for cardiac repair or disease modeling.
