Nucleoside diphosphate kinase Nm23-M1 involves in oligodendroglial versus neuronal cell fate decision in vitro

The adult glial progenitor cells were recently shown to be able to produce neurons in central nervous system (CNS) and to become multipotent in vitro. Although the fate decision of glial progenitors was studied extensively, the signals and factors which regulate the timing of neuronal differentiation still remain unknown. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the neuronal differentiation from glial progenitors, we modified the gene expression profile in NG2⁺ glial progenitor cells using enhanced retroviral mutagen (ERM) technique followed by phenotype screening to identify possible gene(s) responsible for glial-neuronal cell fate determination. Among the identified molecules, we found the gene named non-metastatic cell 1 which encodes a nucleoside diphosphate kinase protein A (Nm23-M1 or NME1). So far, the Nm23 members have been shown to be involved in various molecular processes including tumor metastasis, cell proliferation, differentiation and cell fate determination. In the present study, we provide evidence suggesting the role of NME1 in glial-neuronal cell fate determination in vitro. We showed that NME1 is widely expressed in neuronal structures throughout adult mouse CNS. Our immunohistochemical results revealed that NME1 is strongly colocalized with NF200 through white matter of spinal cord and brain. Interestingly, NME1 overexpression in oligodendrocyte progenitor OLN-93 cells potently induced the acquisition of neuronal fate, while its silencing was shown to promote oligodendrocyte differentiation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that dual-functional role of NME1 is achieved through cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Our data therefore suggested that NME1 acts as a switcher or reprogramming factor which involves in oligodentrocyte versus neuron cell fate specification in vitro.

胚胎干细胞起源的探讨

目前胚胎干细胞(ESCs)建系的取材来源包括桑椹胚的卵裂球、囊胚的内细胞团(ICM)、上胚层细胞和原始生殖细胞(PGCs),甚至从新生鼠睾丸细胞也分离得到类ES样细胞系。这就提出了一个问题,什么是ESCs最接近的体内细胞来源。传统观念常常把ESCs等同于ICM细胞,也有学者认为ESCs更象上胚层细胞,而在已知的分子标记基因方面,ESCs所具有的特征更接近体内早期生殖细胞。不清楚ESCs最接近的体内细胞来源,可能是制约许多品系小鼠和大多哺乳类动物建系成功率提高的原因之一。ESCs系与EG细胞系的分离条件不同表明,加强对ESCs多能性维持基因调控研究具有重要意义。本文从ESCs的经典概念及其发展,早期胚胎细胞和生殖细胞发育规律,早期胚胎细胞、早期生殖细胞和ESCs的关系等方面进行综合分析,认为ESCs可能有多种接近的体内细胞来源。进一步应通过对ESCs建系不同的取材细胞和不同品系的ESCs间进行比较研究,以便弄清ESCs的来源和转化机制,为提高不同物种ESCs建系效率提供理论支持。     

Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology of pilomatrixoma

FNA smears from five histologically confirmed cases of pilomatrixoma were reviewed to delineate the cytological features helpful in diagnosis. A combination of basaloid cells, ghost cells and foreign body giant cells appeared to be necessary in FNA smear for a confident cytodiagnosis of pilomatrixoma. Presence of naked nuclei, nucleated squamous cells and calcification were additional features in favour of the diagnosis. Another 10 cases with initial cytodiagnosis of pilomatrixoma or benign skin appendage tumour were reviewed. Using the above criteria, diagnosis of pilomatrixoma was easy in five cases. One case was problematical due to presence of atypical squamous cells. Initially the cytological features were most commonly confused with epidermal inclusion cyst, giant cell lesion or a squamous cell carcinoma. The main reasons for erroneous diagnosis were lack of awareness of cytological features, predominance of one component over the others, and non‐representative FNA smears. Atypia in nucleated squamous cells, and misinterpretation of basaloid cells as malignant can lead to diagnostic dilemma. Adequate clinical data are also necessary.     

Induction of γδT cells from HSC-enriched BMCs co-cultured with iPSC-derived thymic epithelial cells

T cells bearing γδ antigen receptors have been investigated as potential treatments for several diseases, including malignant tumours. However, the clinical application of γδT cells has been hampered by their relatively low abundance in vivo and the technical difficulty of inducing their differentiation from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in vitro. Here, we describe a novel method for generating mouse γδT cells by co-culturing HSC-enriched bone marrow cells (HSC-eBMCs) with induced thymic epithelial cells (iTECs) derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). We used BMCs from CD45.1 congenic C57BL/6 mice to distinguish them from iPSCs, which expressed CD45.2. We showed that HSC-eBMCs and iTECs cultured with IL-2 + IL-7 for up to 21 days induced CD45.1⁺ γδT cells that expressed a broad repertoire of Vγ and Vδ T-cell receptors. Notably, the induced lymphocytes contained few or no αβT cells, NK1.1⁺ natural killer cells, or B220⁺ B cells. Adoptive transfer of the induced γδT cells to leukemia-bearing mice significantly reduced tumour growth and prolonged mouse survival with no obvious side effects, such as tumorigenesis and autoimmune diseases. This new method suggests that it could also be used to produce human γδT cells for clinical applications.

Whole cell biocatalysts stabilization for l-carnitine production

We present how whole cells can be used in different ways to stabilize enzyme catalysts in the cell environment to perform biotransformations. Some of the factors which affect their use in biotransformations, such as the nature of the substrate/product, the reusability of cells, the extension of cell viability by cell activation periods or the addition of energetic substrates and the stabilization in solids supports, are considered. The use of sufficiently active enzymes in the cell environment to perform biotransformations within growing, resting, permeabilized, dried, osmotically stressed, freely suspended and immobilized cells, is discussed in the text. The different cell states of enterobacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Proteus sp., can be used to produce l-carnitine from crotonobetaine or d-carnitine substrate, are analyzed.
