    BACKGROUND & AIMS: PROBLEM:Lymphocyte immunotherapy (LIT) is applied in infertility treatment. Moreover, it has been suggested for prevention of rhesus D-hemolytic disease and as a vaccine for reduction of human immunodeficiency virus-1 susceptibility. Although transfusion-related problems have been rarely reported they were a matter of debate. Here we discuss extensive single-center experience with intradermal LIT for implantation failure and recurrent miscarriages. METHOD OF STUDY:Retrospective 2- to 3-year follow-up of in vitro fertilization couples treated during 1996-2002 (feedback 2,848/3,041 = 93%), registering 930 deliveries. Prospective survey for acute reactions for 2000-2003 (feedback 2,687/3,246 = 83%). Review of the literature. RESULTS:Infections of the patient and transplant rejection later in life are minor residual risks. Post-transfusion purpura was suspected once but not verified. Anaphylaxis or malignancy were not promoted. Fetal/newborn alloimmune disease (severe hemolytic disease, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia) were not observed. CONCLUSION:Based on microbiological, immunological, and hematological testing the risks of intradermal LIT are low.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Thyroid hormone (TH) regulates such crucial biological functions as normal growth, development and metabolism of nearly all vertebrate tissues. In skeletal muscle, TH plays a critical role in regulating the function of satellite cells, the bona fide skeletal muscle stem cells. Deiodinases (D2 and D3) have been found to modulate the expression of various TH target genes in satellite cells. Regulation of the expression and activity of the deiodinases constitutes a cell-autonomous, pre-receptor mechanism that controls crucial steps during the various phases of myogenesis. Here, we review the roles of deiodinases in skeletal muscle stem cells, particularly in muscle homeostasis and upon regeneration. We focus on the role of T3 in stem cell functions and in commitment towards lineage progression. We also discuss how deiodinases might be therapeutically exploited to improve satellite-cell-mediated muscle repair in skeletal muscle disorders or injury.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: AIM:During development, boundary cap neural crest stem cells (bNCSCs) assist sensory axon growth into the spinal cord. Here we repositioned them to test if they assist regeneration of sensory axons in adult mice after dorsal root avulsion injury. MATERIALS & METHODS:Avulsed mice received bNCSC or human neural progenitor (hNP) cell transplants and their contributions to glial scar formation and sensory axon regeneration were analyzed with immunohistochemistry and transganglionic tracing. RESULTS:hNPs and bNCSCs form similar gaps in the glial scar, but unlike hNPs, bNCSCs contribute Mts1/S100A4 (calcium-binding protein) expression to the scar and do not assist sensory axon regeneration. CONCLUSION:bNCSC transplants contribute nonpermissive Mts1/S100A4-expressing cells to the glial scar after dorsal root avulsion.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The unmet need for therapies capable of repairing the central nervous system (CNS) damage occurring in many diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS) has sparked the interest of the neurological community for stem cell-based therapies. An exhaustive amount of preclinical data has shown that the intravenous administration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), a subset of progenitor cells isolated from many mesodermal tissues, effectively ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model of MS, through the release of anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective molecules. Based on these results, several small pilot clinical trials in subjects with advanced MS have demonstrated that MSC administration is safe and provided an early signal of clinical effectiveness. The current aim of clinicians and scientists interested in the development of MSC-based strategies for the treatment of MS is to have the ultimate demonstration in large clinical trials that MSC can inhibit CNS inflammation and foster tissue repair as realized clinically, with functional recovery, or visualized by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Upregulation of lipogenesis is a hallmark of cancer and blocking the lipogenic pathway is known to cause tumor cell death by apoptosis. However, the exact role of lipogenesis in tumor initiation is as yet poorly understood. We examined the expression profile of key lipogenic genes in clinical samples of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of breast cancer and found that these genes were significantly upregulated in DCIS. We also isolated cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) from DCIS.com cell line using cell surface markers (CS24(-)CD44(+)ESA(+)) and found that this cell population has significantly higher tumor-initiating ability to generate DCIS compared with the non-stem-like population. Furthermore, the CSCs showed significantly higher level of expression of all lipogenic genes than the counterpart population from non-tumorigenic breast cancer cell line, MCF10A. Importantly, ectopic expression of SREBP1, the master regulator of lipogenic genes, in MCF10A significantly enhanced lipogenesis in stem-like cells and promoted cell growth as well as mammosphere formation. Moreover, SREBP1 expression significantly increased the ability of cell survival of CSCs from MCF10AT, another cell line that is capable of generating DCIS, in mouse and in cell culture. These results indicate that upregulation of lipogenesis is a pre-requisite for DCIS formation by endowing the ability of cell survival. We have also shown that resveratrol was capable of blocking the lipogenic gene expression in CSCs and significantly suppressed their ability to generate DCIS in animals, which provides us with a strong rationale to use this agent for chemoprevention against DCIS.
    背景与目标: : 脂肪生成的上调是癌症的标志,已知阻断脂肪生成途径会通过凋亡导致肿瘤细胞死亡。然而,脂肪生成在肿瘤起始中的确切作用尚不清楚。我们检查了乳腺癌导管原位癌 (DCIS) 临床样本中关键脂原基因的表达谱,发现这些基因在DCIS中显着上调。我们还使用细胞表面标记 (CS24(-)CD44(+)ESA(+)) 从DCIS.com细胞系中分离出癌症干细胞样细胞 (CSCs),发现该细胞群与非干细胞样群体相比,产生DCIS的肿瘤起始能力明显更高。此外,与来自非致瘤性乳腺癌细胞系MCF10A的对应群体相比,CSCs显示出所有脂质基因的表达水平显着更高。重要的是,MCF10A中脂肪生成基因的主要调节剂SREBP1的异位表达显着增强了干细胞样细胞的脂肪生成,并促进了细胞生长和mammohere形成。此外,SREBP1的表达显着提高了MCF10AT (另一种能够产生DCIS的细胞系) 在小鼠和细胞培养中的CSCs的细胞存活能力。这些结果表明,通过赋予细胞存活能力,脂肪生成的上调是DCIS形成的先决条件。我们还表明,白藜芦醇能够阻断CSCs中的脂肪基因表达,并显着抑制其在动物中产生DCIS的能力,这为我们提供了使用该药物对DCIS进行化学预防的有力依据。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Satellite cells, localized within muscles in vivo, are Pax7+ muscle stem cells supporting skeletal muscle growth and regeneration. Unfortunately, their amplification in vitro, required for their therapeutic use, is associated with reduced regenerative potential. In the present study, we investigated if human myogenic reserve cells (MRC) obtained in vitro, represented a reliable cell source for muscle repair. For this purpose, primary human myoblasts were freshly isolated and expanded. After 2 days of differentiation, 62 ± 2.9% of the nuclei were localized in myotubes and 38 ± 2.9% in the mononucleated non-fusing MRC. Eighty percent of freshly isolated human MRC expressed a phenotype similar to human quiescent satellite cells (CD56+/Pax7+/MyoD-/Ki67- cells). Fourteen days and 21 days after cell transplantation in immunodeficient mice, live human cells were significantly more numerous and the percentage of Pax7+/human lamin A/C+ cells was 2 fold higher in muscles of animals injected with MRC compared to those injected with human myoblasts, despite that percentage of spectrin+ and lamin A/C+ human fibers in both groups MRC were similar. Taken together, these data provide evidence that MRC generated in vitro represent a promising source of cells for improving regeneration of injured skeletal muscles.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The expression of PD-L1 in breast cancer is associated with estrogen receptor negativity, chemoresistance and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), all of which are common features of a highly tumorigenic subpopulation of cancer cells termed cancer stem cells (CSCs). Hitherto, the expression and intrinsic role of PD-L1 in the dynamics of breast CSCs has not been investigated. To address this issue, we used transcriptomic datasets, proteomics and several in vitro and in vivo assays. Expression profiling of a large breast cancer dataset (530 patients) showed statistically significant correlation (p < 0.0001, r = 0.36) between PD-L1 expression and stemness score of breast cancer. Specific knockdown of PD-L1 using ShRNA revealed its critical role in the expression of the embryonic stem cell transcriptional factors: OCT-4A, Nanog and the stemness factor, BMI1. Conversely, these factors could be induced upon PD-L1 ectopic expression in cells that are normally PD-L1 negative. Global proteomic analysis hinted for the central role of AKT in the biology of PD-L1 expressing cells. Indeed, PD-L1 positive effect on OCT-4A and Nanog was dependent on AKT activation. Most importantly, downregulation of PD-L1 compromised the self-renewal capability of breast CSCs in vitro and in vivo as shown by tumorsphere formation assay and extreme limiting dilution assay, respectively. This study demonstrates a novel role for PD-L1 in sustaining stemness of breast cancer cells and identifies the subpopulation and its associated molecular pathways that would be targeted upon anti-PD-L1 therapy.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :In Drosophila, the replacement of spent enterocytes (ECs) relies on division of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) and differentiation of their progeny, the enteroblasts (EBs). Recent studies have revealed a role for JAK/STAT signaling in the modulation of the rate of ISC division in response to environmental challenge. Here, we demonstrate the critical role of the UPD3 cytokine in the JAK/STAT-dependent response to enteric infection. We show that upd3 expression is activated in ECs and in EBs that massively differentiate in response to challenge. We show that the UPD3 cytokine, which is secreted basally and accumulates at the basement membrane, is required for stimulation of JAK/STAT signaling in EBs and visceral muscles (VMs). We further show that stimulation of ISC division requires active JAK/STAT signaling in EBs and VMs, but apparently not in ISCs. Our results suggest that EBs and VMs modulate the rate of the EGFR-dependent ISC division through upd3-dependent production of the EGF ligands Spitz and Vein, respectively. This study therefore supports the notion that the production of the UPD3 cytokine in stem cell progeny (ECs and EBs) stimulates intestinal stem cell division through modulation of JAK/STAT signaling in the stem cell microenvironment (EBs and VMs).

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :This prospective study validates the finding from retrospective research that having an inpatient lay care-partner (CP) is associated with better survival following allogeneic BMT. Compared with patients without a CP (n=76), patients with a CP (n=88) have significantly better OS (P=0.017) and relapse-free survival (RFS) (P=0.020). Four-year and median survivals were 42% and 36 months among patients with CPs, compared with 26% and 10 months among those without CPs. Four-year survival and median RFS were 39% and 25 months among those with CPs, compared with 23% and 7 months among those without CPs. Further, better survival and RFS were associated with CP visit duration of >3 h per day (P=0.005 and P=0.007, respectively) and with CP frequency of visits >75% of inpatient days (P=0.004 and P=0.010, respectively). A CP support program should encourage not only presence of a CP but also duration and frequency of CP visits associated with better patient survival.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: OBJECTIVE:The intracellular signals that contribute to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor induced stem cell mobilization are poorly characterized. METHODS:We show enhanced G-CSF induced mobilization of stem cells in mice deficient in expression of Src family kinases (SFK-/-), which is associated with hypersensitivity of SFK-/- bone marrow cells to G-CSF as well as sustained activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3. RESULTS:A proteome map of the bone marrow fluid derived from wild-type and SFK-/- mice revealed a significant global reduction in the number of proteins in SFK-/- mice compared to controls, which was associated with elevated matrix metalloproteinase-9 levels, reduced stromal-derived factor-1 expression, and enhanced breakdown of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1. Transplantation of wild-type or SFK-/- stem cells into wild-type mice and treatment with G-CSF recapitulated the G-CSF-induced increase in stem cell mobilization noted in SFK-/- nontransplanted mice; however, the increase was significantly less. G-CSF treatment of SFK-/- mice engrafted with wild-type stem cells also demonstrated a modest increase in stem cell mobilization compared to controls, however, the observed increase was greatest in mice completely devoid of SFKs. CONCLUSIONS:These data suggest an involvement of both hematopoietic intrinsic and microenvironmental factors in Src kinase-mediated mobilization of stem cells and identify Src kinases as potential targets for modulating stem cell mobilization.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Stem cells have been widely assumed to be capable of replacing lost or damaged cells in a number of diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD), in which neurons of the substantia nigra (SN) die and fail to provide the neurotransmitter, dopamine (DA), to the striatum. We report that undifferentiated human neural stem cells (hNSCs) implanted into 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-treated Parkinsonian primates survived, migrated, and had a functional impact as assessed quantitatively by behavioral improvement in this DA-deficit model, in which Parkinsonian signs directly correlate to reduced DA levels. A small number of hNSC progeny differentiated into tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and/or dopamine transporter (DAT) immunopositive cells, suggesting that the microenvironment within and around the lesioned adult host SN still permits development of a DA phenotype by responsive progenitor cells. A much larger number of hNSC-derived cells that did not express neuronal or DA markers was found arrayed along the persisting nigrostriatal path, juxtaposed with host cells. These hNSCs, which express DA-protective factors, were therefore well positioned to influence host TH+ cells and mediate other homeostatic adjustments, as reflected in a return to baseline endogenous neuronal number-to-size ratios, preservation of extant host nigrostriatal circuitry, and a normalizing effect on alpha-synuclein aggregation. We propose that multiple modes of reciprocal interaction between exogenous hNSCs and the pathological host milieu underlie the functional improvement observed in this model of PD.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Control of self-renewal and differentiation of human ES cells (hESCs) remains a challenge. This is largely due to the use of culture systems that involve poorly defined animal products and do not mimic the normal developmental milieu. Routine protocols involve the propagation of hESCs on mouse fibroblast or human feeder layers, enzymatic cell removal, and spontaneous differentiation in cultures of embryoid bodies, and each of these steps involves significant variability of culture conditions. We report that a completely synthetic hydrogel matrix can support (i) long-term self-renewal of hESCs in the presence of conditioned medium from mouse embryonic fibroblast feeder layers, and (ii) direct cell differentiation. Hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels were selected because of the role of HA in early development and feeder layer cultures of hESCs and the controllability of hydrogel architecture, mechanics, and degradation. When encapsulated in 3D HA hydrogels (but not within other hydrogels or in monolayer cultures on HA), hESCs maintained their undifferentiated state, preserved their normal karyotype, and maintained their full differentiation capacity as indicated by embryoid body formation. Differentiation could be induced within the same hydrogel by simply altering soluble factors. We therefore propose that HA hydrogels, with their developmentally relevant composition and tunable physical properties, provide a unique microenvironment for the self-renewal and differentiation of hESCs.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The steadily increasing availability of human embryonic stem (hES) cell lines has created strong interest in applying available tools for gene transfer in murine cells to human systems. Here we present a method for the transduction of hES cells with ecotropic retroviral vectors. hES cells were transiently transfected with a construct carrying the murine retrovirus receptor mCAT1. Subsequently, the cells were exposed to replication-deficient Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMuLV) derivatives or pseudotyped lentiviral vectors. With oncoretroviral vectors, this procedure yields overall transduction efficiencies of up to 20% and permits selection of permanently transduced clones with high frequency. Selected clones maintained expression of pluripotency-associated markers and exhibited multi-germ layer differentiation both in vitro and in vivo. HES cell-derived somatic cells including neural progeny maintained high levels of transgene expression. Lentiviral vectors pseudotyped with the MoMuLV envelope could be introduced in the same manner with efficiencies of up to 33%. Transgene expression of lentivirally transduced hES cells remained permanent after differentiation even without selection pressure. Bypassing the regulatory issues associated with the use of amphotropic retroviral systems and exploiting the large pool of existing murine vectors, this method provides a safe and versatile tool for gene transfer and lineage analysis in hES cells and their progeny.
    背景与目标: : 人类胚胎干 (hES) 细胞系的可用性稳步增长,引起了人们对将鼠细胞中的基因转移工具应用于人类系统的浓厚兴趣。在这里,我们提出了一种用生态逆转录病毒载体转导hES细胞的方法。用携带鼠逆转录病毒受体mcat1的构建体瞬时转染hES细胞。随后,将细胞暴露于复制缺陷型莫洛尼鼠白血病病毒 (momoulv) 衍生物或假型慢病毒载体。对于oncoretrovirus载体,该程序产生高达20% 的总体转导效率,并允许选择具有高频率的永久转导克隆。选定的克隆保持了多能性相关标记的表达,并在体外和体内均表现出多胚层分化。HES细胞衍生的体细胞 (包括神经后代) 保持高水平的转基因表达。用moulv包膜假型的慢病毒载体可以以相同的方式引入,效率高达33%。即使没有选择压力,慢病毒转导的hES细胞的转基因表达在分化后仍保持永久性。该方法绕过了与使用两性逆转录病毒系统相关的调节问题,并利用了现有的大量鼠载体,为hES细胞及其后代中的基因转移和谱系分析提供了一种安全且通用的工具。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Deregulated epigenetic mechanisms are likely involved in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs). Which genes are silenced by aberrant promotor methylation during MDS hematopoiesis has not been equivalently investigated. Using an in vitro differentiation model of human hematopoiesis, we generated defined differentiation stages (day 0, day 4, day 7, day 11) of erythro-, thrombo- and granulopoiesis from 13 MDS patients and seven healthy donors. Promotor methylation analysis of key regulatory genes involved in cell cycle control (p14, p15, p16, CHK2), DNA repair (hMLH1), apoptosis (p73, survivin, DAPK), and differentiation (RARb, WT1) was performed by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction. Corresponding gene expression was analyzed by microarray (Affymetrix, HG-U133A). We provide evidence that p16, survivin, CHK2, and WT1 are affected by promotor hypermethylation in MDSs displaying a selective International Prognostic Scoring System risk association. A methylation-associated mRNA downregulation for specific hematopoietic lineages and differentiation stages is demonstrated for survivin, CHK2, and WT1. We identified a suppressed survivin mRNA expression in methylated samples during erythropoiesis, whereas WT1 and CHK2 methylation-related reduction of mRNA expression was found during granulopoiesis in all MDS risk types. Our data suggest that lineage-specific methylation-associated gene silencing of survivin, CHK2, and WT1 in MDS hematopoietic precursor cells may contribute to the MDS-specific phenotype
    背景与目标: : 失调的表观遗传机制可能与骨髓增生异常综合征 (MDSs) 的发病机理有关。尚未对MDS造血过程中异常启动子甲基化使哪些基因沉默。使用人造血的体外分化模型,我们从13名MDS患者和7名健康供体中生成了明确的分化阶段 (第0天,第4天,第7天,第11天) 的红细胞生成,血栓生成和颗粒生成。通过甲基化特异性聚合酶链反应对参与细胞周期控制 (p14,p15,p16,CHK2),DNA修复 (hMLH1),凋亡 (p73,survivin,DAPK) 和分化 (RARb,WT1) 的关键调控基因进行启动子甲基化分析。通过微阵列 (Affymetrix,HG-U133A) 分析相应的基因表达。我们提供的证据表明,在显示选择性国际预后评分系统风险关联的MDSs中,p16,survivin,CHK2和WT1受到启动子高甲基化的影响。survivin,CHK2和wt1证明了特定造血谱系和分化阶段的甲基化相关mRNA下调。我们在红细胞生成过程中发现甲基化样品中survivin mRNA表达受到抑制,而在所有MDS风险类型中,在颗粒生成过程中发现WT1和CHK2甲基化相关的mRNA表达降低。我们的数据表明,MDS造血前体细胞中survivin,CHK2和WT1的谱系特异性甲基化相关基因沉默可能有助于MDS特异性表型

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :We studied 45 patients aged 14-66 years who had undergone stem cell transplantation for a variety of malignant conditions at least 12 months previously. Compared to normal controls, they had significantly reduced absolute numbers of CD4+, CD4+ CD45RA+ and CD4+ CD45RO+ T cells and a reduced CD4+ CD45RA+:CD4+ CD45RO+ ratio. In all subsets T-cell numbers were significantly greater 24 months, compared to 12-24 months, after transplantation and there was a nonsignificant trend towards lower T-cell numbers with increasing age. We conclude that the thymus, or putative thymic-equivalent tissue, remains functional in older adults.
    背景与目标: : 我们研究了45名年龄在14-66岁之间的患者,这些患者至少在12个月前接受过各种恶性疾病的干细胞移植。与正常对照组相比,他们的CD4,CD4 CD45RA和CD4 CD45RO T细胞的绝对数量显着降低,并且CD4 CD45RA: CD4 CD45RO比率降低。移植后,与12-24个月相比,所有亚群中的T细胞数量显着增加了24个月,并且随着年龄的增长,T细胞数量降低的趋势不明显。我们得出的结论是,胸腺或假定的胸腺等效组织在老年人中仍然有效。
