  • Derivation of human embryonic stem cells in xeno-free conditions. 18453244

    Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) have the potential to treat a wide range of diseases. Currently, the use of existing hESC lines in human clinical applications is limited, as they are derived from blastocysts subjected to immunosurgery with animal derived antibodies, and are maintained on mouse embryonic feeder (MEF) cells, in the presence of either fetal calf serum (FCS) or on Matrigel or with conditioned media from MEFs. Successful derivation of hESCs in xeno-free conditions is crucial in advancing stem cell therapy applications. Two hESC lines, one from chromosomally abnormal embryos and another cell line from normal embryos from the inner cell mass of human blastocysts are derived using a culture media that had 20% serum replacement (SR) and human FGF2 on human foreskin fibroblasts as feeder cells. Derivation and characterization of such xenofree hESCs suitable for clinical studies is described in this chapter.

  • Derivation and maintenance of human embryonic stem cells from poor-quality in vitro fertilization embryos. 18451800

    Human embryonic stem (hES) cells are self-renewing, pluripotent cells that are valuable research tools and hold promise for use in regenerative medicine. Most hES cell lines are derived from cryopreserved human embryos that were created during in vitro fertilization (IVF) and are in excess of clinical need. Embryos that are discarded during the IVF procedure because of poor morphology and a low likelihood for generating viable pregnancies or surviving the cryopreservation process are also a viable source of hES cells. In this protocol, we describe how to derive novel hES cells from discarded poor-quality embryos and how to maintain the hES cell lines.

  • Biochemical characterization and analysis of the transforming potential of the FLT3/FLK2 receptor tyrosine kinase. 8384358

    We recently cloned an additional member of the receptor type tyrosine kinase class III. This new gene, called Flt3 by our group [Rosnet, O., Matteï, M.G., Marchetto, S. & Birnbaum, D. (1991). Genomics, 9, 380-385; Rosnet, O., Marchetto, S., deLapeyriere, O. & Birnbaum, D. (1991). Oncogene, 6, 1641-1650] and Flk2 by others [Matthews, W., Jordan, C.T., Wieg, G.W., Pardoll, D. & Lemischka, I.R. (1991). Cell, 65, 1143-1152] is strongly related to the important developmental genes Kit, Fms and Pdgfr. The murine 3.2-kb full-length cDNA, when introduced into COS-1 cells, shows the expression of two polypeptides with apparent molecular weights of 155 kDa and 132 kDa. Treatment of cells with N-linked glycosylation inhibitors results in the expression of a 110-kDa protein. We have shown that FLT3 contains an intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. A point mutation in a highly conserved residue within the phosphoryltransferase domain inactivates the catalytic function of this receptor, whereas activation by way of a chimeric molecule between the ligand-binding domain of colony-stimulating factor type 1 (CSF-1) receptor (CSF-1R) and the kinase domain of FLT3 results, in the presence of CSF-1, in the development of the transforming activity of this receptor as shown by anchorage-independent cell growth. Finally, expression analysis of the FLT3 protein shows that, in addition to the hematopoietic system, FLT3 is strongly expressed in neural, gonadal, hepatic and placental tissues in the mouse.

  • Alterations in lung mast cell populations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 19926870

    Rationale: Mast cells have important roles in innate immunity and tissue remodeling but have remained poorly studied in inflammatory airway diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Objectives: To perform a detailed histological characterization of human lung mast cell populations at different severities of COPD, comparing with smoking and never-smoking control subjects. Methods: Mast cells were analyzed in lung tissues from patients with mild to very severe COPD, GOLD I-IV (n = 25, 10 of whom were treated with corticosteroids). Never-smokers and smokers served as controls. The density, morphology, and molecular characteristics of mucosal and connective tissue mast cells (MC(T) and MC(TC), respectively) were analyzed in several lung regions. Measurements and Main Results: In all compartments of COPD lungs, especially at severe stages, the MC(TC) population increased in density, whereas the MC(T) population decreased. The net result was a reduction in total mast cell density. This phenomenon was paralleled by increased numbers of luminal mast cells, whereas the numbers of terminal transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)(+) apoptotic mast cells remained unchanged. In COPD lungs, the MC(T) and MC(TC) populations showed alterations in morphology and expression of CD88 (C5a-R), transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, and renin. Statistically significant correlations were found between several COPD-related mast cell alterations and lung function parameters. Conclusions: As COPD progresses to its severe stages, the mast cell populations in the lung undergo changes in density, distribution, and molecular expression. In COPD lungs, these novel histopathological features were found to be correlated to lung function and they may thus have clinical consequences.

  • Differentiation and regenerative capacities of human odontoma-derived mesenchymal cells. 19281762

    Regenerating human tooth ex vivo and biological repair of dental caries are hampered by non-viable odontogenic stem cells that can regenerate different tooth components. Odontoma is a developmental dental anomaly that may contain putative post-natal stem cells with the ability to differentiate and regenerate in vivo new dental structures that may include enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp tissues. We evaluated odontoma tissues from 14 patients and further isolated and characterized human odontoma-derived mesenchymal cells (HODCs) with neural stem cell and hard tissue regenerative properties from a group of complex odontoma tissues from 1 of 14 patients. Complex odontoma was more common (9 of 14) than compound type and females (9 of 14) were more affected than males in our set of patients. HODCs were highly proliferative like dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) but demonstrated stronger neural immunophenotype than both DPSCs and mandible bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) by expressing higher levels of nestin, Sox 2 and betaIII-tubulin. When transplanted with hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate into immunocompromised mice, HODCs differentiated and regenerated calcified hard tissues in vivo that were morphologically and quantitatively comparable to those generated by DPSCs and BMSCs. When transplanted with polycaprolactone (biodegradable carrier), HODCs differentiated to form new predentin on the surface of a dentin platform. Newly formed predentin contained numerous distinct dentinal tubules and an apparent dentin-pulp arrangement. HODCs represent unique odontogenic progenitors that readily commit to formation of dental hard tissues.

  • Isolation and characterization of a putative liver progenitor population after treatment of fetal rat hepatocytes with TGF-beta. 18286537

    The in vitro establishment of a physiological model of bipotential liver progenitors would be useful for analyzing the molecular mechanisms involved in regulating growth and differentiation, as well as studying their potential role/s in liver physiology and pathology. The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) induces de-differentiation of fetal rat hepatocytes (FH), concomitant with changes in morphology. The aim of this work was to isolate and characterize this population of TGF-beta-treated fetal hepatocytes (TbetaT-FH) and test whether they can behave as liver progenitors. The TbetaT-FH isolated cell lines show high expression of Thy-1 and low expression of c-Kit. They express liver-specific proteins, such as albumin and alpha-fetoprotein, and mesenchymal markers, such as vimentin. TbetaT-FH maintain expression of the hnf3beta gene, but lose expression of hnf1beta, hnf4, and hnf6. They express c-met and show an increase in proliferation in response to HGF. Interestingly, the transdifferentiation process is coincident with changes in the expression of genes related to the oxidative metabolism. TbetaT-FH cultured in the presence of EGF + DMSO change morphology, towards epithelial cells, gaining expression of CK19 and c-Kit, markers found in hepatoblasts and bile duct cells. Furthermore, TbetaT-FH form duct-like structures when cultured on Matrigel. TbetaT-FH show also potential to revert to an hepatocyte phenotype when submitted to a long-term in vitro differentiation protocol towards hepatocytic lineage. In summary, our results support the hypothesis that hepatocytes can function as facultative liver stem cells and demonstrate that TGF-beta might play an essential role in the transdifferentiation process.
