Zusammenfassung:Hygienic management is more important in the manufacturing of cell products than in the production of chemical agents, because cell material and final product cannot be decontaminated. On the other hand, especially in the selection of hygienic agent, the adverse effects on the cells must be considered as well as the decontamination effect. ClO2 is a potent disinfectant, which is now expected as a safe and effective hygienic agent in the field of cell production. In this study, we investigated the effects of low dose ClO2 gas in the atmosphere of CO2 incubator on the characteristics of MSCs cultured in it. First, we installed a ClO2 generator to a CO2 incubator for cell culture in which a constant level of ClO2 can be maintained. After culturing human cord derived MSCs in the CO2 incubator, the characteristics of cells were analyzed. Continuous exposure to 0.05 ppmv of ClO2 gas did not affect cell proliferation until at least 8th passage. In the FACS analysis, antigens usually expressed on MSCs, CD105, CD90, CD44, CD73 and CD29, were positively observed, but differentiation markers, CD11b and CD34, were little expressed on the MSCs exposed to 0.05 ppmv or 0.1 ppmv of ClO2 gas just as on the control cells. Also in the investigation for cell death, 0.05 ppmv and 0.1 ppmv of ClO2 gas little affected the viability, apoptosis or necrosis of MSCs. Furthermore, we assessed senescence using SA-β-gal staining. Although the frequency of stained cells cultured in 0.1 ppmv of ClO2 gas was significantly increased than that of not exposed cells, the stained cells in 0.05 ppmv were rare and their frequency was almost the same as that in control. All these results indicate that, although excessive concentration of ClO2 gas induces senescence but neither apoptosis nor cell differentiation, exposure to 0.05 ppmv of ClO2 gas little affected the characteristics of MSCs. In this study we demonstrate that continuous exposure to appropriate dose of ClO2 gas can be safely used as decontamination agent in cell processing facilities. •Continuous exposure to low concentration of ClO2 gas little affected to of MSCs.•Higher concentration of ClO2 gas induced senescence to MSCs.•The most suitable concentration for the continuous of ClO2 gas exposure during the culture of MSCs was identified.
