Generation of Multipotent Stem Cells from Adult Human Peripheral Blood Following the Treatment with Platelet-Derived Mitochondria

Autologous stem cells are highly preferred for cellular therapy to treat human diseases. Mitochondria are organelles normally located in cytoplasm. Our recent studies demonstrated the differentiation of adult peripheral blood-derived insulin-producing cells (designated PB-IPC) into hematopoietic-like cells after the treatment with platelet-derived mitochondria. To further explore the molecular mechanism and their therapeutic potentials, through confocal and electron microscopy, we found that mitochondria enter cells and directly penetrate the nucleus of PB-IPC after the treatment with platelet-derived mitochondria, where they can produce profound epigenetic changes as demonstrated by RNA-seq and PCR array. Ex vivo functional studies established that mitochondrion-induced PB-IPC (miPB-IPC) can give rise to retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells and neuronal cells in the presence of different inducers. Further colony analysis highlighted the multipotent capability of the differentiation of PB-IPC into three-germ layer-derived cells. Therefore, these data indicate a novel function of mitochondria in cellular reprogramming, leading to the generation of autologous multipotent stem cells for clinical applications.
