Expansion of CD34 + Human Cord Blood Cells in StemSpan™ Media Containing CC100 Cytokine Cocktail

Figure 1. Expansion of CD34+ Human Cord Blood Cells in StemSpanâ„¢ Media Containing CC100 Cytokine Cocktail

Purified CD34+ human cord blood (CB) cells were suspended at a concentration of 10,000 per mL in StemSpanâ„¢ SFEM (dark gray bars), SFEM II (blue bars) and AOF (orange bars) media containing CC100 Cytokine Cocktail (Catalog #02690). Cultures were maintained for 7 days, after which the cells were counted and examined for CD34 and CD45 expression by flow cytometry. Shown are the fold expansion of total nucleated cells (TNC) (A) and CD34+ cells (B) per input CD34+ cell, and the percent CD34+ cells (C). Results represent the average of 32 different CB samples. Vertical lines indicate 95% confidence limits, the range within which 95% of results fall. The numbers of cells produced in StemSpanâ„¢ SFEM II were significantly higher than in StemSpanâ„¢ SFEM and StemSpanâ„¢-AOF (*P<0.001, paired t-test, n=32).

Note: Data for StemSpanâ„¢-AOF shown were generated with the original phenol red-containing version StemSpanâ„¢-ACF (Catalog #09855). However internal testing showed that the performance of the new phenol red-free, cGMP-manufactured version, StemSpanâ„¢-AOF (Catalog #100-0130) was comparable.

Expansion of CD34+ cells, normalized relative to the values obtained in StemSpanâ„¢ SFEM medium (dark gray bars) after culturing purified CD34+ CB (A, n=6) or bone marrow (BM) (B, n=3) cells for 7 days in StemSpanâ„¢ SFEM, SFEM II (blue bars) and AOF (orange bars), and six media from other commercial suppliers (light gray bars, Commercial Alternative 1-6, which included, in random order, StemPro34 (Life Technologies), X-Vivo-15 and HPGM (both from Lonza), SCGM (Cellgenix), StemLine II (Sigma) and HP01 (Macopharma)). All media were supplemented with StemSpanâ„¢ CC100 Cytokine Cocktail (Catalog #02690). Vertical lines indicate 95% confidence limits, the range within which 95% of results fall. The numbers of CB and BM cells produced in StemSpanâ„¢ SFEM II were significantly higher than in all other media, except the numbers of CB cells produced in StemSpanâ„¢-AOF (*p<0.05, paired t-test).

Note: Data for StemSpanâ„¢-AOF shown were generated with the original phenol red-containing version StemSpanâ„¢-ACF (Catalog #09855). However internal testing showed that the performance of the new phenol red-free, cGMP-manufactured version, StemSpanâ„¢-AOF (Catalog #100-0130) was comparable.

Loss of function of Adducin 3 (ADD3) causes abnormal development and impaired barrier function of human and mouse bile duct cells resulting in increased incidence and severity of Biliary Atresia J. L. H. Ha et al. eBioMedicine 2025 Nov

Abstract

Background: Biliary atresia (BA) is the most prevalent serious neonatal biliary obstructive disorder and is a complex multifactorial liver disorder. Genome-wide association studies have identified Adducin 3 (ADD3) as a BA susceptibility gene but the mechanisms involved in disease causation and progression remain unclear. Methods: ADD3 knockout human pluripotent stem cells were differentiated into cholangiocyte organoids to assess the effect of ADD3 deletion on biliary development in vitro. Add3 deletion in rhesus rotavirus (RRV)-induced experimental BA mice were employed as the in vivo model to address the impact of reduced Add3 expression on BA pathogenesis. Findings: ADD3 knockout organoids displayed defective cholangiocyte differentiation, failure in the recruitment of βII-spectrin to the cell membrane, abnormal primary cilia development, reduced expression of tight junction proteins, lower transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and increased paracellular permeability. Statistical significantly reduced tight junction (TJ) proteins expression and lower TEER in Add3+/− and Add3−/− liver tissue-derived cholangiocytes were observed. Reduced number of TJs and enlarged paracellular spaces without any detectable TJ were detected in the intra-hepatic bile ducts of Add3+/− and Add3−/− livers. A statistical significantly higher incidence and a more advanced form of BA with statistical significantly higher serum bilirubin, liver necrosis and fibrosis, and accumulation of macrophages and activated hepatic stellate cells were observed in Add3 knockout BA mice as compared to wild-type BA mice. Interpretation: Dysregulated ADD3 expression caused an abnormal development and impaired barrier function of cholangiocytes, and the resultant increase in bile duct permeability rendered the foetus/neonate susceptible to a more severe injury response to an external insult. The findings support the hypothetical pathogenic model of genetic susceptibility genes being involved in hepatobiliary development/structure, and the perturbed embryogenesis of the biliary tree and its disrupt integrity increase the host susceptibility to biliary injury and BA.
NOTCH3 Variant Position Affects the Phenotype at the Pluripotent Stem Cell Level in CADASIL Neuromolecular Medicine 2025 Feb

Abstract

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most common genetic form of stroke. It is caused by a cysteine-altering variant in one of the 34 epidermal growth factor-like repeat (EGFr) domains of Notch3. NOTCH3 pathogenic variants in EGFr 1–6 are associated with high disease severity, whereas those in EGFr 7–34 are associated with late stroke onset and increased survival. However, whether and how the position of the NOTCH3 variant directly affects the disease severity remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to generate human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from patients with CADASIL with EGFr 1–6 and 7–34 pathogenic variants to evaluate whether the NOTCH3 position affects the cell phenotype and protein profile of the generated hiPSCs lines. Six hiPSCs lines were generated: two from patients with CADASIL with EGFr 1–6 pathogenic variants, two from patients with EGFr 7–34 variants, and two from controls. Notch3 aggregation and protein profiles were tested in the established six hiPSCs lines. Cell analysis revealed that the NOTCH3 variants did not limit the cell reprogramming efficiency. However, EGFr 1–6 variant position was associated with increased accumulation of Notch3 protein in pluripotent stem cells and proteomic changes related with cytoplasmic reorganization mechanisms. In conclusion, our analysis of hiPSCs derived from patients with CADASIL support the clinical association between the NOTCH3 variant position and severity of CADASIL.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12017-025-08840-6.
Small molecule BLVRB redox inhibitor promotes megakaryocytopoiesis and stress thrombopoiesis in vivo N. M. Nesbitt et al. Nature Communications 2025 Apr

Abstract

Biliverdin IXβ reductase (BLVRB) is an NADPH-dependent enzyme previously implicated in a redox-regulated mechanism of thrombopoiesis distinct from the thrombopoietin (TPO)/c-MPL axis. Here, we apply computational modeling to inform molecule design, followed by de novo syntheses and screening of unique small molecules retaining the capacity for selective BLVRB inhibition as a novel platelet-enhancing strategy. Two distinct classes of molecules are identified, and NMR spectroscopy and co-crystallization studies confirm binding modes within the BLVRB active site and ring stacking between the nicotinamide moiety of the NADP + cofactor. A diazabicyclo derivative displaying minimal off-target promiscuity and excellent bioavailability characteristics promotes megakaryocyte speciation in biphenotypic (erythro/megakaryocyte) cellular models and synergizes with TPO-dependent megakaryocyte formation in hematopoietic stem cells. Upon oral delivery into mice, this inhibitor expands platelet recovery in stress thrombopoietic models with no adverse effects. In this work, we identify and validate a cellular redox inhibitor retaining the potential to selectively promote megakaryocytopoiesis and enhance stress-associated platelet formation in vivo distinct from TPO receptor agonists.
