Chemokines direct endothelial progenitors into tumor neovessels.
Tumor neovasculature substantially derives from sprouting of existing vessels, whereas the functional contribution of bone marrow-derived progenitors to neovessels remains controversial. We used transgenic mouse models of multistep carcinogenesis to monitor incorporation of bone marrow-derived cells into the neovasculature and to elucidate mechanisms of endothelial precursor cell (EPC) recruitment into the tumor microenvironment. We unequivocally demonstrate integration of bone marrow cells into the tumor vasculature as a late event in carcinogenesis that temporally correlates with VEGF release by the tumor and mobilization of circulating EPC in the periphery. Moreover, we demonstrate a chemokine-dependent mechanism of EPC homing into tumor, whereby neovessels of late-stage tumors release a battery of CC chemokines, which direct CCR2(+) and CCR5(+) progenitors into the vasculature. Thus, we show that tumor vessels promote their own growth and development in a self-amplifying fashion.Coksaygan T et al. (FEB 2006) Experimental neurology 197 2 475--85Neurogenesis in Talpha-1 tubulin transgenic mice during development and after injury.
Talpha-1 tubulin promoter-driven EYFP expression is seen in murine neurons born as early as E9.5. Double labeling with markers for stem cells (Sox 1, Sox 2, nestin), glial progenitors (S100beta, NG2, Olig2), and neuronal progenitors (doublecortin, betaIII-tubulin, PSA-NCAM) show that Talpha-1 tubulin expression is limited to early born neurons. BrdU uptake and double labeling with neuronal progenitor markers in vivo and in vitro show that EYFP-expressing cells are postmitotic and Talpha-1 tubulin EYFP precedes the expression of MAP-2 and NeuN, and follows the expression of PSA-NCAM, doublecortin (Dcx), and betaIII-tubulin. Talpha-1 tubulin promoter-driven EYFP expression is transient and disappears in most neurons by P0. Persistent EYFP expression is mainly limited to scattered cells in the subventricular zone (SVZ), rostral migratory stream, and hippocampus. However, there are some areas that continue to express Talpha-1 tubulin in the adult without apparent neurogenesis. The number of EYFP-expressing cells declines with age indicating that Talpha-1 tubulin accurately identifies early born postmitotic neurons throughout development but less clearly in the adult. Assessment of neurogenesis after stab wound injuries in the cortex, cerebellum and spinal cord of adult animals shows no neurogenesis in most areas with an increase in BrdU incorporation in glial and other non neuronal populations. An up-regulation of Talpha-1 tubulin can be seen in certain areas unaccompanied by new neurogenesis. Our results suggest that even if stem cells proliferate their ability to generate neurons is limited and caution is warranted in attributing increased BrdU incorporation to stem cells or cells fated to be neurons even in neurogenic areas.Catalog #: Product Name: 05700 NeuroCultâ„¢ Basal Medium (Mouse & Rat) 05701 NeuroCultâ„¢ Proliferation Supplement (Mouse & Rat) 05702 NeuroCultâ„¢ Proliferation Kit (Mouse & Rat) Catalog #: 05700 Product Name: NeuroCultâ„¢ Basal Medium (Mouse & Rat) Catalog #: 05701 Product Name: NeuroCultâ„¢ Proliferation Supplement (Mouse & Rat) Catalog #: 05702 Product Name: NeuroCultâ„¢ Proliferation Kit (Mouse & Rat) Corti S et al. (JAN 2006) Human molecular genetics 15 2 167--87Transplanted ALDHhiSSClo neural stem cells generate motor neurons and delay disease progression of nmd mice, an animal model of SMARD1.
Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD1) is an infantile autosomal-recessive motor neuron disease caused by mutations in the immunoglobulin micro-binding protein 2. We investigated the potential of a spinal cord neural stem cell population isolated on the basis of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity to modify disease progression of nmd mice, an animal model of SMARD1. ALDH(hi)SSC(lo) stem cells are self-renewing and multipotent and when intrathecally transplanted in nmd mice generate motor neurons properly localized in the spinal cord ventral horns. Transplanted nmd animals presented delayed disease progression, sparing of motor neurons and ventral root axons and increased lifespan. To further investigate the molecular events responsible for these differences, microarray and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analyses of wild-type, mutated and transplanted nmd spinal cord were undertaken. We demonstrated a down-regulation of genes involved in excitatory amino acid toxicity and oxidative stress handling, as well as an up-regulation of genes related to the chromatin organization in nmd compared with wild-type mice, suggesting that they may play a role in SMARD1 pathogenesis. Spinal cord of nmd-transplanted mice expressed high transcript levels for genes related to neurogenesis such as doublecortin (DCX), LIS1 and drebrin. The presence of DCX-expressing cells in adult nmd spinal cord suggests that both exogenous and endogenous neurogeneses may contribute to the observed nmd phenotype amelioration.Catalog #: Product Name: 01701 ALDEFLUORâ„¢ Assay Buffer 01700 ALDEFLUORâ„¢ Kit 01705 ALDEFLUORâ„¢ DEAB Reagent Catalog #: 01701 Product Name: ALDEFLUORâ„¢ Assay Buffer Catalog #: 01700 Product Name: ALDEFLUORâ„¢ Kit Catalog #: 01705 Product Name: ALDEFLUORâ„¢ DEAB Reagent Kishigami S et al. (FEB 2006) Biochemical and biophysical research communications 340 1 183--9Significant improvement of mouse cloning technique by treatment with trichostatin A after somatic nuclear transfer.
The low success rate of animal cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is believed to be associated with epigenetic errors including abnormal DNA hypermethylation. Recently, we elucidated by using round spermatids that, after nuclear transfer, treatment of zygotes with trichostatin A (TSA), an inhibitor of histone deacetylase, can remarkably reduce abnormal DNA hypermethylation depending on the origins of transferred nuclei and their genomic regions [S. Kishigami, N. Van Thuan, T. Hikichi, H. Ohta, S. Wakayama. E. Mizutani, T. Wakayama, Epigenetic abnormalities of the mouse paternal zygotic genome associated with microinsemination of round spermatids, Dev. Biol. (2005) in press]. Here, we found that 5-50 nM TSA-treatment for 10 h following oocyte activation resulted in more efficient in vitro development of somatic cloned embryos to the blastocyst stage from 2- to 5-fold depending on the donor cells including tail tip cells, spleen cells, neural stem cells, and cumulus cells. This TSA-treatment also led to more than 5-fold increase in success rate of mouse cloning from cumulus cells without obvious abnormality but failed to improve ES cloning success. Further, we succeeded in establishment of nuclear transfer-embryonic stem (NT-ES) cells from TSA-treated cloned blastocyst at a rate three times higher than those from untreated cloned blastocysts. Thus, our data indicate that TSA-treatment after SCNT in mice can dramatically improve the practical application of current cloning techniques.Catalog #: Product Name: 72282 Trichostatin A 05700 NeuroCultâ„¢ Basal Medium (Mouse & Rat) 05701 NeuroCultâ„¢ Proliferation Supplement (Mouse & Rat) 05702 NeuroCultâ„¢ Proliferation Kit (Mouse & Rat) Catalog #: 72282 Product Name: Trichostatin A Catalog #: 05700 Product Name: NeuroCultâ„¢ Basal Medium (Mouse & Rat) Catalog #: 05701 Product Name: NeuroCultâ„¢ Proliferation Supplement (Mouse & Rat) Catalog #: 05702 Product Name: NeuroCultâ„¢ Proliferation Kit (Mouse & Rat) Campard D et al.

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and its soluble receptor (sIL-6R) are major factors for maintenance and expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Sensitivity of HSCs to IL-6 has been previously studied, in part by measuring the expression of IL-6R on the membrane (mIL-6R). Several studies have described the regulation of cell surface expression of IL-6R by several cytokines, but the role of glycoprotein 130 activation has not yet been investigated. In this study, CD133(+) cells were purified from adult peripheral blood and were precultured in the absence or presence of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) for selection of quiescent HSCs. Cells were cultured with continuous or pulsed stimulations of an IL-6-sIL-6R fusion protein (hyperinterleukin-6 [HIL-6]) to 1) detect mIL-6R by flow cytometry, 2) assess mIL-6R and sIL-6R RNAs by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, 3) measure sIL-6R in supernatants by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, 4) analyze cell-cycle status, and 5) perform long-term culture-initiating cell assays. The level of mIL-6R(-) cells was preserved by 5-FU incubation. HIL-6 increased steady-state mIL-6R RNA and expression rate on HSCs, independently of treatment with 5-FU. Enhanced production of sIL-6R was observed with short pulses of HIL-6 on CD133(+) 5-FU-pretreated cells. This overproduction of sIL-6R was abrogated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha protease inhibitor-1, an inhibitor of a disintegrin and metalloprotease proteases, suggesting the shedding of mIL-6R. This phenomenon was mediated through the phosphatidylinositol-3'-kinase pathway and was involved in the maintenance of primitive HSCs. In conclusion, expression and production of IL-6R are tightly regulated and stage specific. We assume that sIL-6R produced by shedding should be involved in autocrine and paracrine loops in the HSC microenvironment.Catalog #: Product Name: 09600 StemSpanâ„¢ SFEM 04970 MegaCultâ„¢-C Complete Kit Without Cytokines 04971 MegaCultâ„¢-C Complete Kit with Cytokines 04900 MegaCultâ„¢-C Medium Without Cytokines 04901 MegaCultâ„¢-C Medium with Cytokines 04960 MegaCultâ„¢-C Collagen and Medium Without Cytokines 04961 MegaCultâ„¢-C Collagen and Medium with Cytokines Catalog #: 09600 Product Name: StemSpanâ„¢ SFEM Catalog #: 04970 Product Name: MegaCultâ„¢-C Complete Kit Without Cytokines Catalog #: 04971 Product Name: MegaCultâ„¢-C Complete Kit with Cytokines Catalog #: 04900 Product Name: MegaCultâ„¢-C Medium Without Cytokines Catalog #: 04901 Product Name: MegaCultâ„¢-C Medium with Cytokines Catalog #: 04960 Product Name: MegaCultâ„¢-C Collagen and Medium Without Cytokines Catalog #: 04961 Product Name: MegaCultâ„¢-C Collagen and Medium with Cytokines Zhang Z et al. (JAN 2006) Human molecular genetics 15 2 337--46Palmitoyl-protein thioesterase-1 deficiency mediates the activation of the unfolded protein response and neuronal apoptosis in INCL.
Numerous proteins undergo modification by palmitic acid (S-acylation) for their biological functions including signal transduction, vesicular transport and maintenance of cellular architecture. Although palmitoylation is an essential modification, these proteins must also undergo depalmitoylation for their degradation by lysosomal proteases. Palmitoyl-protein thioesterase-1 (PPT1), a lysosomal enzyme, cleaves thioester linkages in S-acylated proteins and removes palmitate residues facilitating the degradation of these proteins. Thus, inactivating mutations in the PPT1 gene cause infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL), a devastating neurodegenerative storage disorder of childhood. Although rapidly progressing brain atrophy is the most dramatic pathological manifestation of INCL, the molecular mechanism(s) remains unclear. Using PPT1-knockout (PPT1-KO) mice that mimic human INCL, we report here that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the brain cells of these mice is structurally abnormal. Further, we demonstrate that the level of growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43), a palmitoylated neuronal protein, is elevated in the brains of PPT1-KO mice. Moreover, forced expression of GAP-43 in PPT1-deficient cells results in the abnormal accumulation of this protein in the ER. Consistent with these results, we found evidence for the activation of unfolded protein response (UPR) marked by elevated levels of phosphorylated translation initiation factor, eIF2alpha, increased expression of chaperone proteins such as glucose-regulated protein-78 and activation of caspase-12, a cysteine proteinase in the ER, mediating caspase-3 activation and apoptosis. Our results, for the first time, link PPT1 deficiency with the activation of UPR, apoptosis and neurodegeneration in INCL and identify potential targets for therapeutic intervention in this uniformly fatal disease.Catalog #: Product Name: 05700 NeuroCultâ„¢ Basal Medium (Mouse & Rat) 05701 NeuroCultâ„¢ Proliferation Supplement (Mouse & Rat) 05702 NeuroCultâ„¢ Proliferation Kit (Mouse & Rat) Catalog #: 05700 Product Name: NeuroCultâ„¢ Basal Medium (Mouse & Rat) Catalog #: 05701 Product Name: NeuroCultâ„¢ Proliferation Supplement (Mouse & Rat) Catalog #: 05702 Product Name: NeuroCultâ„¢ Proliferation Kit (Mouse & Rat) Jin C et al. (APR 2006) Glycobiology 16 4 349--57Immunoglobulin G specifically binding plant N-glycans with high affinity could be generated in rabbits but not in mice.
Xylosylated and core alpha1,3-fucosylated N-glycans from plants are immunogenic, and they play a still obscure role in allergy and in the field of plant-made protein pharmaceuticals. We immunized mice to generate monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) binding plant N-glycans specifically via the epitope containing either the xylose or the core alpha1,3-fucose residue. Splenocytes expressing N-glycan-specific antibodies derived from C57BL/6 mice previously immunized with plant glycoproteins were preselected by cell sorting to generate hybridoma lines producing specific antibodies. However, we obtained only mAbs unable to distinguish fucosylated from xylosylated N-glycans and reactive even with the pentasaccharide core Man3GlcNAc2. In contrast, immunization of rabbits yielded polyclonal sera selectively reactive with either fucosylated or xylosylated N-glycans. Purification of these sera using glyco-modified neoglycoproteins coupled to a chromatography matrix provided polyclonal sera suitable for affinity determination. Surface plasmon resonance measurements using sensor chips with immobilized glyco-modified transferrins revealed dissociation constants of around 10(-9) M. This unexpectedly high affinity of IgG antibodies toward carbohydrate epitopes has repercussions on our conception of the binding strength and significance of antiglycan IgE antibodies in allergy.Catalog #: Product Name: 03831 ClonaCellâ„¢-HY Liquid HAT Selection Medium 03800 ClonaCellâ„¢-HY Hybridoma Kit Catalog #: 03831 Product Name: ClonaCellâ„¢-HY Liquid HAT Selection Medium Catalog #: 03800 Product Name: ClonaCellâ„¢-HY Hybridoma Kit Laird DJ et al. (DEC 2005) Cell 123 7 1351--60Stem cells are units of natural selection in a colonial ascidian.
Stem cells are highly conserved biological units of development and regeneration. Here we formally demonstrate that stem cell lineages are also legitimate units of natural selection. In a colonial ascidian, Botryllus schlosseri, vascular fusion between genetically distinct individuals results in cellular parasitism of somatic tissues, gametes, or both. We show that genetic hierarchies of somatic and gametic parasitism following fusion can be replicated by transplanting cells between colonies. We prospectively isolate a population of multipotent, self-renewing stem cells that retain their competitive phenotype upon transplantation. Their single-cell contribution to either somatic or germline fates, but not to both, is consistent with separate lineages of somatic and germline stem cells or pluripotent stem cells that differentiate according to the niche in which they land. Since fusion is restricted to individuals that share a fusion/histocompatibility allele, these data suggest that histocompatibility genes in Botryllus evolved to protect the body from parasitic stem cells usurping asexual or sexual inheritance.Catalog #: Product Name: 01701 ALDEFLUORâ„¢ Assay Buffer 01700 ALDEFLUORâ„¢ Kit 01705 ALDEFLUORâ„¢ DEAB Reagent Catalog #: 01701 Product Name: ALDEFLUORâ„¢ Assay Buffer Catalog #: 01700 Product Name: ALDEFLUORâ„¢ Kit Catalog #: 01705 Product Name: ALDEFLUORâ„¢ DEAB Reagent Segal MS et al. (JAN 2006) Diabetes 55 1 102--9Nitric oxide cytoskeletal-induced alterations reverse the endothelial progenitor cell migratory defect associated with diabetes.
Stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is a critical chemokine for endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) recruitment to areas of ischemia, allowing these cells to participate in compensatory angiogenesis. The SDF-1 receptor, CXCR4, is expressed in developing blood vessels as well as on CD34+ EPCs. We describe that picomolar and nanomolar concentrations of SDF-1 differentially influence neovascularization, inducing CD34+ cell migration and EPC tube formation. CD34+ cells isolated from diabetic patients demonstrate a marked defect in migration to SDF-1. This defect is associated, in some but not all patients, with a cell surface activity of CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase IV, an enzyme that inactivates SDF-1. Diabetic CD34+ cells also do not migrate in response to vascular endothelial growth factor and are structurally rigid. However, incubating CD34+ cells with a nitric oxide (NO) donor corrects this migration defect and corrects the cell deformability. In addition, exogenous NO alters vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein and mammalian-enabled distribution in EPCs. These data support a common downstream cytoskeletal alteration in diabetic CD34+ cells that is independent of growth factor receptor activation and is correctable with exogenous NO. This inability of diabetic EPCs to respond to SDF-1 may contribute to aberrant tissue vascularization and endothelial repair in diabetic patients.T. E. Ludwig et al. (feb 2006) Nature biotechnology 24 2 185--7Derivation of human embryonic stem cells in defined conditions.
We have previously reported that high concentrations of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) support feeder-independent growth of human embryonic stem (ES) cells, but those conditions included poorly defined serum and matrix components. Here we report feeder-independent human ES cell culture that includes protein components solely derived from recombinant sources or purified from human material. We describe the derivation of two new human ES cell lines in these defined culture conditions.Catalog #: Product Name: 85850 ³¾°Õ±ð³§¸éâ„¢1 Catalog #: 85850 Product Name: ³¾°Õ±ð³§¸éâ„¢1 Kuang S et al. (JAN 2006) The Journal of cell biology 172 1 103--13Distinct roles for Pax7 and Pax3 in adult regenerative myogenesis.
We assessed viable Pax7(-/-) mice in 129Sv/J background and observed reduced growth and marked muscle wasting together with a complete absence of functional satellite cells. Acute injury resulted in an extreme deficit in muscle regeneration. However, a small number of regenerated myofibers were detected, suggesting the presence of residual myogenic cells in Pax7-deficient muscle. Rare Pax3(+)/MyoD+ myoblasts were recovered from Pax7(-/-) muscle homogenates and cultures of myofiber bundles but not from single myofibers free of interstitial tissues. Finally, we identified Pax3+ cells in the muscle interstitial environment and demonstrated that they coexpressed MyoD during regeneration. Sublaminar satellite cells in hind limb muscle did not express detectable levels of Pax3 protein or messenger RNA. Therefore, we conclude that interstitial Pax3+ cells represent a novel myogenic population that is distinct from the sublaminar satellite cell lineage and that Pax7 is essential for the formation of functional myogenic progenitors from sublaminar satellite cells.Catalog #: Product Name: 03434 MethoCultâ„¢ GF M3434 Catalog #: 03434 Product Name: MethoCultâ„¢ GF M3434 Cron RQ et al. (JAN 2006) Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950) 176 2 811--8Early growth response-1 is required for CD154 transcription.
CD154 (CD40 ligand) expression on CD4 T cells is normally tightly controlled, but abnormal or dysregulated expression of CD154 has been well documented in autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus. Beyond regulation by NFAT proteins, little is known about the transcriptional activation of the CD154 promoter. We identified a species-conserved purine-rich sequence located adjacent to the CD154 transcriptional promoter proximal NFAT site, which binds early growth response (Egr) transcription factors. Gel shift assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays reveal that Egr-1, Egr-3, and NFAT1 present in primary human CD4 T cells are capable of binding this combinatorial site in vitro and in vivo, respectively. Multimerization of this NFAT/Egr sequence in the context of a reporter gene demonstrates this sequence is transcriptionally active upon T cell activation in primary human CD4 T cells. Overexpression of Egr-1, but not Egr-3, is capable of augmenting transcription of this reporter gene as well as that of an intact CD154 promoter. Conversely, overexpression of small interfering RNA specific for Egr-1 in primary human CD4 T cells inhibits CD154 expression. Similarly, upon activation, CD154 message is notably decreased in splenic CD4 T cells from Egr-1-deficient mice compared with wild-type controls. Our data demonstrate that Egr-1 is required for CD154 transcription in primary CD4 T cells. This has implications for selective targeting of Egr family members to control abnormal expression of CD154 in autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus.Catalog #: Product Name: 15022 RosetteSepâ„¢ Human CD4+ T Cell Enrichment Cocktail Catalog #: 15022 Product Name: RosetteSepâ„¢ Human CD4+ T Cell Enrichment Cocktail Items 673 to 684 of 7990 total
