Abstract

Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) are excellent candidates for cell therapy but their expansion to desired clinical quantities can be compromised by ex vivo processing, due to differences between donor material and process variation. The aim of this article is to characterize growth kinetics of healthy baseline “reference” hMSCs using typical manual processing. Bone‐marrow derived hMSCs from ten donors are isolated based on plastic adherence, expanded, and analyzed for their growth kinetics until passage 4. Results indicate that hMSC density decreases with overall time in culture (p < 0.001) but no significant differences are observed between successive passages after passage 1. In addition, fold increase in cell number dropped between passage 1 and 2 for three batches, which correlated to lower performance in total fold increase and expansion potential of these batches, suggesting that proliferative ability of hMSCs can be predicted at an early stage. An indicative bounded operating window is determined between passage 1 and 3 (PDL < 10), despite the high inter‐donor variability present under standardized hMSC expansion conditions used. hMSC growth profile analysis will be of benefit to cell therapy manufacturing as a tool to predict culture performance and attainment of clinically‐relevant yields, therefore stratifying the patient population based on early observation.
