Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells can transdifferentiate into neural cells through dedifferentiation, involving nuclear movement and the formation of binucleated cells without cell fusion.

The preprint investigates whether human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) can transdifferentiate into neural-like cells, addressing prior interpretations that such observations might instead reflect cytotoxic changes or cell fusion. Using culture-based observations, the authors report that BM-MSC neural transdifferentiation proceeds via formation of dedifferentiated cells that can redifferentiate into neural-like cells, revert to mesenchymal fate, or switch lineages repeatedly without cell division, and they describe nuclei in dedifferentiated cells undergoing nuclear movement with altered morphologies, including the formation of binucleated cells; they also note dedifferentiated cells place their nucleus at the cell front during migration. A major caveat stated by the authors’ framing is that earlier studies could have misinterpreted cytotoxicity or fusion events, and this work argues against those alternatives but is presented as a preprint rather than peer-reviewed. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Although it has been reported that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) can transdifferentiate into neural cells, the findings is considered unlikely. Cytotoxic-induced cell changes and cell fusion events are alternative explanations for these observations in culture and transplantation studies, respectively.Here, we show that BM-MSCs neural transdifferentiation involves a formation of dedifferentiated cells that can then redifferentiate into neural-like cells, redifferentiate back to mesenchymal fate, or even switch lineages repeatedly without cell division. Futhermore, we have discovered that nuclei from dedifferentiated cells move within the cell adopting different morphologies and even forming binucleated cells. In addition, we noted that dedifferentiated cells position their nucleus at the forefront of the cell during cell migration.Our result show that human BM-MSCs can rapidly adopt a neural-like morphology and binuclear human BM-MSCs can be formed without being related to cell fusion events. We provide additional evidences that BM-MSCs can transdifferentiate into neural cells.
