Totipotent cells are cells that can develop into all cell types in the human body and can also form extra embryonic and placental cells Pluripotent cells are cells that can develop into cells of all the three germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm or ectoderm). Multipotent cells are cells that can develop into more than one but not all germ layers E.g. adult stem cells and cord blood cells
Type of stem cells Embryonic (also called pluripotent ) stem cells are capable of developing into all the cell types of the body. Adult stem cells are less versatile and more difficult to identify, isolate, and purify.
SOURCE OF STEM CELLS Stem cells can be derived from the following sources: Allogenous Autogenous Xenogenic
Stem cells can be obtained from: Bone marrow Adipose tissue Placenta Blood Umbilical cord Human amniotic fluid Dental pulp Synovial fluid Skin Skeletal muscle
STEM CELLS Undeveloped biological cells capable of: Proliferation Self-renewal Conversion to differentiated cells Regenerating tissues
Isolation of stem cells Stem cells can be unselected cells obtained from bone marrow after centrifugation or selected and enhanced in culture utilising their affinity to tissue plastics
Mechanism of action Differentiate into bone, muscle, cartilage, ligament or tendon cells Paracrine effects: secrete growth factors and cytokines e.g. BMPs, TGF beta and VEGF Result in angiogenesis, repair, cell survival and proliferation

Mesenchymal stem cells in arthritic diseases MSCs possess potent immunosuppression and anti-inflammation effects through secretion of various soluble factors, MSCs can influence the local tissue environment and exert protective effects with an end result of effectively stimulating regeneration in situ. Can be used for therapeutic application in degenerative joint diseases such as RA and OA. Faye H Chen and Rocky S Tuan Arthritis Research & Therapy 2008,10:223 (doi:10.1186/ar2514)
Osteochondral Lesions of the Knee Mesenchymal stem cells represent 2% to 3% of the total mononuclear cells in bone marrow and have the ability to differentiate into various lineages, including osteoblasts and chondroblasts. The rationale of the ''one-step technique'' is based on the idea of transplanting the entire bone-marrow cellular pool instead of isolated and expanded mesenchymal stem Cells. Osteochondral Lesions of the Knee: A New One-Step Repair Technique with Bone-Marrow-Derived Cells. By Roberto Buda, MD, Francesca Vannini, MD, PhD, Marco Cavallo, MD, Brunella Grigolo, PhD, Annarita Cenacchi, MD, and Sandro Giannini, MD J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2010;92Suppl 2:2-11 d doi:10.2106/jbjsj.00813
Stem cells in cartilage repair & arthritis Buda et al. (2010) used MSCs for the treatment of osteochondral lesions of femur and talus. They reported satisfactory clinical results and integration of cells in defects in both types of osteochondral lesions. Thus, use of MSCs in cartilaginous lesions has come to the clinical stages from experimental stages and the results have been encouraging.
Cartilage & arthritis Abrasion chondroplasty in which drill holes are made into the cartilage to allow for the subchondral bone marrow to come out and layer the cartilage defects have shown good results. Such a procedure is followed by formation of fibro-cartilage at the cartilage defect site.

Mscs as progenitor cells to engineer cartilage implants that can be used to repair chondral and osteochondral lesions, or as trophic producers of bioactive factors to initiate endogenous regenerative activities in the OA joint. Targeted gene therapy might further enhance these activities of mscs.

2 ND GENERATION CELL THERAPIES Autogenous cells Seeded scaffold or liquid gel Minimizes periosteal related complications Allows arthroscopic implant
Autogenous Allogeneic Time =O decision making May use scaffold/ staple May implant in fibrin glue MINCED CARTILAGE Fragments + Scaffold
3 RD GENERATION CELL BASED Autogenous Allogeneic 3-D cartilage graft Technical ease might allow arthroscopic insertion with Bioadhesive
OTHER SYNOVIAL FLUID FACTORS: Growth factors: -IGF-1, FGF, tg-beta super family Can we stimulate these to increase GAG synthesis after cartilage injury Catabolic factors: cytokines: - IL-1, TNF, IL-6,7,8 Can we inhibit these to avoid matrix breakdown after cartilage injury

Conclusion Stem cell therapy is as an attractive option for the treatment of intractable diseases. Its use is based on sound biological principles. Many of these studies have shown good results but at the same time many have shown failures. This might also be linked to the patient selection, the type of cells used, the concentration of cells used, the method of application, duration of follow up and evaluation tools among others.
