“…ANGPTL1 and ANGPTL2 were upregulated in the ovary after MSC injection ( Santulli, 2014 ; Sasaki et al, 2015 ), whereas both genes had lower expression levels in cryo cells than in native cells in our study. PDGFB improved follicular survival as well as oocyte survival ( Da Silva et al, 2018 ). PDGFB and PDGFD decreased in the follicular fluid of PCOS patients, while ovarian administration restored follicular development and angiogenesis in a rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome ( Di Pietro et al, 2016 ).…”

Cryopreservation of placenta tissue for long-term storage provides the opportunity in the future to isolate mesenchymal stromal cells that could be used for cell therapy and regenerative medicine. Despite being widely used, the established cryopreservation protocols for freezing and thawing still raise concerns about their impact on molecular characteristics, such as epigenetic regulation. In our study, we compared the characteristics of human placental mesenchymal stromal cells (hPMSCs) isolated from fresh (native) and cryopreserved (cryo) placenta tissue. We assessed and compared the characteristics of native and cryo hPMSCs such as morphology, metabolic and differentiation potential, expression of cell surface markers, and transcriptome. No significant changes in immunophenotype and differentiation capacity between native and cryo cells were observed. Furthermore, we investigated the epigenetic changes and demonstrated that both native and cryo hPMSCs express only slight variations in the epigenetic profile, including miRNA levels, DNA methylation, and histone modifications. Nevertheless, transcriptome analysis defined the upregulation of early-senescence state-associated genes in hPMSCs after cryopreservation. We also evaluated the ability of hPMSCs to improve pregnancy outcomes in mouse models. Improved pregnancy outcomes in a mouse model confirmed that isolated placental cells both from native and cryo tissue have a positive effect on the restoration of the reproductive system. Still, the native hPMSCs possess better capacity (up to 66%) in comparison with cryo hPMSCs (up to 33%) to restore fertility in mice with premature ovarian failure. Our study demonstrates that placental tissue can be cryopreserved for long-term storage with the possibility to isolate mesenchymal stromal cells that retain characteristics suitable for therapeutic use.
