  • Bone marrow stromal cells reduce axonal loss in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mice. 16773650

    We investigated the ability of human bone marrow stromal cell (hBMSC) treatment to reduce axonal loss in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice. EAE was induced in SJL/J mice by injection with proteolipid protein (PLP). Mice were injected intravenously with hBMSCs or PBS on the day of clinical onset, and neurological function was measured daily (score 0-5) until 45 weeks after onset. Mice were sacrificed at week 1, 10, 20, 34, and 45 after clinical onset. Bielshowsky silver was used to identify axons. Immunohistochemistry was performed to measure the expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) and MAB1281, a marker of hBMSCs. hBMSC treatment significantly reduced the mortality, the disease severity, and the number of relapses in EAE mice compared with PBS treatment. Axonal density and NGF(+) cells in the EAE brain were significantly increased in the hBMSC group compared with the PBS group at 1, 10, 20, 34, and 45 weeks. Disease severity was significantly correlated with decreased axonal density and decreased NGF, and increased axonal density was significantly correlated with reduced loss of NGF expression after hBMSC treatment. Most of the NGF(+) cells are brain parenchymal cells. Under 5% of MAB1281(+) cells colocalized with NG2(+), a marker of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. Nearly 10% of MAB1281(+) cells colocalized with GFAP, a marker of astrocytes, and MAP-2, a marker of neurons. Our findings indicate that hBMSCs improve functional recovery and may provide a potential therapy aimed at axonal protection in EAE mice, in which NGF may play a vital role.

  • CD163, a marker of perivascular macrophages, is up-regulated by microglia in simian immunodeficiency virus encephalitis after haptoglobin-hemoglobin complex stimulation a ... 18276779

    Macrophages and microglia are the major cell types infected by human immunodeficiency virus and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) in the central nervous system. Microglia are likely infected in vivo, but evidence of widespread productive infection (ie, presence of viral RNA and protein) is lacking. This conclusion is controversial because, unlike lymphocytes, macrophages and microglia cannot be discreetly immunophenotyped. Of particular interest in the search for additional monocyte/macrophage-lineage cell markers is CD163; this receptor for haptoglobin-hemoglobin (Hp-Hb) complex, which forms in plasma following erythrolysis, is expressed exclusively on cells of monocyte/macrophage lineage. We examined CD163 expression in vitro and in vivo by multiple techniques and at varying times after SIV infection in macaques with or without encephalitis. In normal and acutely SIV-infected animals, and in SIV-infected animals without encephalitis, CD163 expression was detected in cells of monocyte/macrophage lineage, including perivascular macrophages, but not in parenchymal microglia. However, in chronically infected animals with encephalitis, CD163 expression was detected in activated microglia surrounding SIV encephalitis lesions in the presence of Hp-Hb complex, suggesting leakage of the blood-brain barrier. CD163 expression was also induced on microglia in vitro after stimulation with Hp-Hb complex. We conclude that CD163 is a selective marker of perivascular macrophages in normal macaques and during the early phases of SIV infection; however, later in infection in animals with encephalitis, CD163 is also expressed by microglia, which are probably activated as a result of vascular compromise.

  • Human stem/progenitor cells from bone marrow enhance glial differentiation of rat neural stem cells: a role for transforming growth factor β and Notch signaling. 20575640

    Multipotent stem/progenitor cells from bone marrow stroma (mesenchymal stromal cells or MSCs) were previously shown to enhance proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) in vivo, but the molecular basis of the effect was not defined. Here coculturing human MSCs (hMSCs) with rat NSCs (rNSCs) was found to stimulate astrocyte and oligodendrocyte differentiation of the rNSCs. To survey the signaling pathways involved, RNA from the cocultures was analyzed by species-specific microarrays. In the hMSCs, there was an upregulation of transcripts for several secreted factors linked to differentiation: bone morphogenetic protein 1 (BMP1), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and transforming growth factor isoforms (TGFβ1 and TGFβ3). In both the hMSCs and the rNSCs, there was an upregulation of transcripts for Notch signaling. The role of TGFβ1 was verified by the demonstration that hMSCs in coculture increased secretion of TGFβ1, the rNSCs expressed the receptor, and an inhibitor of TGFβ signaling blocked differentiation. The role of Notch signaling was verified by the demonstration that in the cocultures hMSCs expressed a Notch ligand at sites of cell contact with rNSCs, and the rNSCs expressed the receptor, Notch 1. Increased Notch signaling in both cell types was then demonstrated by assays of transcript expression and by a reporter construct for downstream targets of Notch signaling. The results demonstrated that glial differentiation of the rNSCs in the cocultures was driven by increased secretion of soluble factors such as TGFβ1 by the hMSCs and probably through increased cell contact signaling between the hMSCs and rNSCs through the Notch pathway.

  • Human oligodendrocytes from embryonic stem cells: conserved SHH signaling networks and divergent FGF effects. 19363151

    Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) offer a platform to bridge what we have learned from animal studies to human biology. Using oligodendrocyte differentiation as a model system, we show that sonic hedgehog (SHH)-dependent sequential activation of the transcription factors OLIG2, NKX2.2 and SOX10 is required for sequential specification of ventral spinal OLIG2-expressing progenitors, pre-oligodendrocyte precursor cells (pre-OPCs) and OPCs from hESC-derived neuroepithelia, indicating that a conserved transcriptional network underlies OPC specification in human as in other vertebrates. However, the transition from pre-OPCs to OPCs is protracted. FGF2, which promotes mouse OPC generation, inhibits the transition of pre-OPCs to OPCs by repressing SHH-dependent co-expression of OLIG2 and NKX2.2. Thus, despite the conservation of a similar transcriptional network across vertebrates, human stem/progenitor cells may respond differently to those of other vertebrates to certain extrinsic factors.

  • Transplantation of undifferentiated and induced human exfoliated deciduous teeth-derived stem cells promote functional recovery of rat spinal cord contusion injury model. 21970342

    Regarding both the neural crest origin and neuronal potential of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED), here, we assessed their potential in addition to neural induced SHED (iSHED) for functional recovery when transplanted in a rat model for acute contused spinal cord injury (SCI). Following transplantation, a significant functional recovery was observed in both groups relative to the vehicle and control groups as determined by the open field locomotor functional test. We also observed that animals that received iSHED were in a better state as compared with the SHED group. Immunohistofluorescence evaluation 5 weeks after transplantation showed neuronal and glial differentiation and limited proliferation in both groups. However, myelin basic protein and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan NG2-oligodendrocyte markers-were increased and glial fibrillary acidic protein-astrocyte marker-was decreased in the iSHED group in comparison with the SHED group. These findings have demonstrated that transplantation of SHED or its derivatives could be a suitable candidate for the treatment of SCI as well as other neuronal degenerative diseases.
