Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are well known in cell therapy due to their secretion of trophic factors, multipotent differentiation potential, and ability for self-renewal. As a result, the number of clinical trials has been steadily increasing over the last decade highlighting the need for in vitro systems capable of producing large quantities of cells to meet growing demands. However, hMSCs are highly sensitive to microenvironment conditions, including shear stress caused by dynamic bioreactor systems, and can lead to alteration of cellular homeostasis. In this study, hMSCs were expanded on microcarriers within a 125 mL spinner flask bioreactor system. Our results demonstrate a three-fold expansion over seven days. Furthermore, our results show that culturing hMSCs in the microcarrier-based suspension bioreactor (compared to static planar culture) results in smaller cell size and higher levels of reactive oxidative species (ROS) and ROS regulator Sirtuin-3, which have implications on the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide metabolic pathway and metabolic homeostasis. In addition, hMSCs in the bioreactor showed the increased Prostaglandin E-2 secretion as well as reduced the Indoleamine-pyrrole 2,3-dioxygenase secretion upon stimulus with interferon gamma. The results of this study provide understanding of potential hMSC physiology alterations impacted by bioreactor microenvironment during scalable production of hMSCs for biomanufacturing and clinical trials.
