Gene transfer into human CD34+ haematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) and multi-potent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) is an essential tool for numerous in vitro and in vivo applications including therapeutic strategies, such as tissue engineering and gene therapy. Virus based methods may be efficient, but bear risks like tumorigenesis and activation of immune responses. A safer alternative is non-viral gene transfer, which is considered to be less efficient and accomplished with high cell toxicity. The truncated low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (ALNGFR) is a marker gene approved for human in vivo application. Human CD34+ HPC and human MSC were transfected with in vitro-transcribed mRNA for DeltaLNGFR using the method of nucleofection. Transfection efficiency and cell viability were compared to plasmid-based nucleofection. Protein expression was assessed using flow cytometry over a time period of 10 days. Nucleofection of CD34+ HPC and MSC with mRNA resulted in significantly higher transfection efficiencies compared to plasmid transfection. Cell differentiation assays were performed after selecting DeltaLNGFR positive cells using a fluorescent activating cell sorter. Neither cell differentiation of MSC into chondrocytes, adipocytes and osteoblasts, nor differentiation of HPC into burst forming unit erythroid (BFU-E) colony forming unit-granulocyte, erythrocyte, macrophage and megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM), and CFU-granulocyte-macrophage (GM) was reduced. mRNA based nucleofection is a powerful, highly efficient and non-toxic approach for transient labelling of human progenitor cells or, via transfection of selective proteins, for transient manipulation of stem cell function. It may be useful to transiently manipulate stem cell characteristics and thus combine principles of gene therapy and tissue engineering. 相似文献

Liposome-mediated gene delivery into plant cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Liposomes may offer several advantages as vectors for gene delivery into plant cells: (1) enhanced delivery of encapsulated DNA by membrane fusion, (2) protection of nucleic acids from nuclease activity, (3) targeting to specific cells, (4) delivery into a variety of cell types besides protoplasts by entry through plasmodesmata, (5) delivery of intact small organelles. Realization of these advantages calls for the construction of efficient liposomes, for appropriate fusion conditions and for an understanding of the nature of liposome-cell interactions. Various characteristics and techniques of the liposome-cell system are described (mode of delivery, liposome types and composition, and means of promoting delivery of liposome contents). Data of liposome-mediated delivery of various macromolecules into plant cells, with special reference to protoplasts, calli and pollen are reviewed. This includes data obtained by the use of fluorescent probes, radioactive-labelled DNA, viral nucleic acids and expression of plasmid-DNA. Structure and characteristics of plant surfaces and plasmodesmata are discussed with respect to DNA entry. It is suggested that liposome-mediated gene delivery into plant cells, and not only protoplasts, will be advantageous in certain specific tissues and situations. 相似文献

Lentiviral vectors for gene delivery into cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV) is the etiologic agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or AIDS. Vectors based upon HIV have been in use for over a decade. Beginning in 1996, with the demonstration of improved pseudotyping using vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) G protein along with transduction of resting mammalian cells, a series of improvements have been made in these vectors, making them both safer and more efficacious. Taking a cue from vector development of murine leukemia virus (MLV), split coding and self-inactivating HIV vectors now appear quite suitable for phase I clinical trials. In parallel, a number of pre-clinical efficacy studies in animals have demonstrated the utility of these vectors for various diseases processes, especially neurodegenerative and hematopoietic illnesses. These vectors are also appropriate for the study of other viruses (specifically of viral entry) and investigation of the HIV replicative cycle, along with straightforward transgene delivery to target cells of interest. Vectors based upon other lentiviruses have shown similar abilities and promise. Although concerns remain, particularly with regards to detection and propagation of replication-competent lentivirus, it is almost certain that these vectors will be introduced into the clinic within the next 3-5 years. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Targeted gene transfection remains a crucial issue to permit the real development of genetic therapy. As such, in vivo targeted transfection of specific subsets of hematopoietic stem cells might help to sustain hematopoietic recovery from bone marrow aplasia by providing local production of growth factors. METHODS: Balb/C mice were injected intravenously, with an anti-mouse c-kit (CD117) monoclonal antibody chemically coupled to a human IL-3 gene-containing plasmid DNA. Mice were sacrificed for tissue analyses at various days after injection of the conjugates. RESULTS: By ELISA, the production of human IL-3 was evidenced in the sera of animals 5 days after treatment. Cytofluorometric analysis after in vivo transfection of a reporter gene eGFP demonstrated transfection of CD117+/Sca1+ hematopoietic immature cells. By PCR analysis of genomic DNA and RNA using primer specific pIL3 sequences, presence and expression of the human IL-3-transgene were detected in the bone marrow up to 10 days in transfected mice but not in control animals. CONCLUSIONS: These data clearly indicate that antibody-mediated endocytosis gene transfer allows the expression of the IL-3 transgene into hematopoietic immature cells, in vivo. While availability of marketed recombinant growth factors is restricted, this targeting strategy should permit delivery of therapeutic genes to tissues of interest through systemic delivery. In particular, the ability to specifically target growth factor expression into repopulating hematopoietic stem cells may create new opportunities for the treatment of primary or radiation-induced marrow failures. 相似文献

Osteoprotegerin (OPG), the soluble decoy receptor of RANKL is released by bone marrow osteoblasts and plays an important role in physiological osteoblastogenesis and pathological bone disease. In earlier studies, we have shown that generated stromal cell lines from the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM)-region serving as good supporters of murine and human hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) expansion highly express OPG detected by microarray analysis. Here, we investigated the role of OPG to HPC expansion in vitro. Addition of OPG leads to an enhanced expansion of HPC in liquid culture. In addition, progenitor cell function, measured by colony and cobblestone formation, was increased. The observed effects were partially antagonized by addition of RANKL. In conclusion, these findings suggest an important role of OPG maintaining progenitor cell function in the osteoblastic niche. 相似文献

Circulating hematopoietic progenitor cells in runners. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Because endurance exercise causes release of mediators and growth factors active on the bone marrow, we asked whether it might affect circulating hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) in amateur runners [n = 16, age: 41.8 +/- 13.5 (SD) yr, training: 93.8 +/- 31.8 km/wk] compared with sedentary controls (n = 9, age: 39.4 +/- 10.2 yr). HPCs, plasma cortisol, interleukin (IL)-6, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and the growth factor fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 (flt3)-ligand were measured at rest and after a marathon (M; n = 8) or half-marathon (HM; n = 8). Circulating HPC counts (i.e., CD34(+) cells and their subpopulations) were three- to fourfold higher in runners than in controls at baseline. They were unaffected by HM or M acutely but decreased the morning postrace. Baseline cortisol, flt3-ligand, IL-6, and G-CSF levels were similar in runners and controls. IL-6 and G-CSF increased to higher levels after M compared with HM, whereas cortisol and flt3-ligand increased similarly postrace. Our data suggest that increased HPCs reflect an adaptation response to recurrent, exercise-associated release of neutrophils and stress and inflammatory mediators, indicating modulation of bone marrow activity by habitual running. 相似文献

Methylation damage response in hematopoietic progenitor cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The cellular response to methylation DNA damage was compared in multipotent CD34(+) hematopoietic stem cells and mature CD34(-) cells isolated from cord blood of the same donor. Cytofluorimetric analysis of freshly isolated cord blood cells indicated that both cell types were in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Quantitative RT-PCR identified a general trend towards high expression of several DNA repair genes in CD34(+) cells compared to their terminally differentiated CD34(-) counterparts. The overexpressed genes included members of the mismatch repair (MMR) (MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, PMS2), base excision repair (AAG, APEX), DNA damage reversal (O(6)-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase) (MGMT), and DNA double strand breaks repair pathways. These differences in gene expression were not apparent in CD34(+) and CD34(-) cells obtained following expansion of CD34(+) cells in a medium containing early acting cytokines. Early progenitor CD34(+) and early precursor CD34(-) cells form the two populations isolated under these experimental conditions, and both contain a significant proportion of cycling cells. The methylating agent N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) induced similar levels of apoptosis in these cycling CD34(+) and CD34(-) cells. Cytotoxicity required the presence of the MGMT inhibitor O(6)-benzylguanine and the timing of MNU cell death (48 and 72h) was similar in CD34(+) and CD34(-) cells. These data indicate that cycling CD34(+) and CD34(-) cells are equally sensitive to methylation damage. MGMT provides significant protection against MNU toxicity and MGMT and MMR play the expected roles in the MNU sensitivity of these cells. 相似文献

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) mediated gene therapy research has been conducted predominantly on rodents. Appropriate large animal models may provide additional safety and efficacy information prior to human clinical trials. The objectives of this study were: (a) to optimize adenoviral transduction efficiency of porcine bone marrow MSCs using a commercial polyamine-based transfection reagent (GeneJammer, Stratagene, La Jolla, CA), and (b) to determine whether transduced MSCs retain the ability to differentiate into mesodermal lineages. Porcine MSCs (pMSCs) were infected under varying conditions, with replication-defective adenoviral vectors carrying the GFP gene and GFP expression analyzed. Transduced cells were induced to differentiate in vitro into adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic lineages. We observed a 5.5-fold increase in the percentage of GFP-expressing pMSCs when adenovirus type 5 carrying the adenovirus type 35 fiber (Ad5F35eGFP) was used in conjunction with GeneJammer. Transduction of pMSCs at 10.3-13.8 MOI (1,500-2,000 vp/cell) in the presence of Gene Jammer yielded the highest percentage of GFP-expressing cells ( approximately 90%) without affecting cell viability. A similar positive effect was detected when pMSCs were infected with an Ad5eGFP vector. Presence of fetal bovine serum (FBS) during adenoviral transduction enhanced vector-encoded transgene expression in both GeneJammer-treated and control groups. pMSCs transduced with adenovirus vector in the presence of GeneJammer underwent lipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic differentiation. Addition of GeneJammer during adenoviral infection of pMSCs can revert the poor transduction efficiency of pMSCs while retaining their pluripotent differentiation capacity. GeneJammer-enhanced transduction will facilitate the use of adenoviral vectors in MSC-mediated gene therapy models and therapies. 相似文献

Hyperbaric oxygen enhances apoptosis in hematopoietic cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is 100% oxygen administered at elevated atmospheric pressure. In this study, we examined the effect of HBO on hematopoietic cell apoptosis. Cells exposed to HBO were incubated in a chamber containing 97.9% O2 and 2.1% CO2 at 2.4 atmospheres absolute (ATA). HBO enhanced spontaneous HL-60 cell apoptosis in a time-dependent manner; a 12 h exposure increased apoptosis by 42%. Exposing these cells to hyperoxia at standard atmospheric pressure (95% O2, 5% CO2 at 1 ATA) or increased pressure alone (8.75% O2, 2.1% CO2 at 2.4 ATA) had minimal effect on apoptosis. HBO also enhanced stimulus-induced apoptosis. HL-60 cells stimulated to die using radiation underwent 33% more apoptosis than cells exposed to radiation alone. HBO enhanced melphalan, camptothecin, and chlorambucil-induced apoptosis by 22%, 13%, and 8%, respectively. Jurkat cells stimulated to die with anti-Fas antibody underwent 44% more apoptosis when exposed to HBO. Spontaneous apoptosis was increased by 15% in HBO-exposed murine thymocytes. HBO's effect on apoptosis did not require new protein synthesis. As expected, HBO exposure increased the intracellular concentration of H2O2. Incubating HL-60 cells in the presence of dehydroascorbic acid partially abrogated HBO-induced increases in intracellular H2O2 and apoptosis. In summary, HBO enhances spontaneous and stimulus-induced apoptosis in hematopoietic cells, at least in part, by enhancing the intracellular accumulation of H2O2. 相似文献

L-arginine is shown to protect hematopoietic progenitor (32D cl 3) cells from death due to exposure to γ radiation ((137)Cs). Some of the other intermediates in the urea cycle, namely ornithine and citrulline, plus urea itself, were not found to have any significant impact on cell survival after irradiation. Intriguingly, supplementation of irradiated cells with L-arginine results in decreased production of peroxynitrite, suggesting that suppression of superoxide generation by nitric oxide synthase in one or more microenvironments is an important factor in the observed radioprotection. The absence of any radioprotective effect of L-arginine in cells at 3% oxygen also confirms the involvement of one or more oxygen-derived species. Knockdown experiments with nitric oxide synthase (NOS) siRNAs in cells and NOS knockout animals confirm that the observed radioprotection is associated with nNOS (NOS-1). L-arginine also ameliorates the transient inhibition of the electron-transport chain complex I that occurs within 30 min of completing the dose (10 Gy) and that appears to be a functional marker for postirradiation mitochondrial oxidant production. 相似文献

Hematopoietic stem cells have the potential to develop into multipotent and different lineage-restricted progenitor cells that subsequently generate all mature blood cell types. The classical model of hematopoietic lineage commitment proposes a first restriction point at which all multipotent hematopoietic progenitor cells become committed either to the lymphoid or to the myeloid development, respectively. Recently, this model has been challenged by the identification of murine as well as human hematopoietic progenitor cells with lymphoid differentiation capabilities that give rise to a restricted subset of the myeloid lineages. As the classical model does not include cells with such capacities, these findings suggest the existence of alternative developmental pathways that demand the existence of additional branches in the classical hematopoietic tree. Together with some phenotypic criteria that characterize different subsets of multipotent and lineage-restricted progenitor cells, we summarize these recent findings here. 相似文献

Cryobiophysical characteristics of genetically modified hematopoietic progenitor cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The freezing responses of hematopoietic progenitor cells isolated from normal donors and from donors with mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) were determined using cryomicroscopy and analyzed using theoretical models for water transport and intracellular ice formation. The cells from donors with MPS I used in this investigation were cultured and transduced with a retroviral vector for the alpha-l-iduronidase (IDUA) enzyme in preclinical studies for human gene therapy. The water transport and intracellular ice formation (IIF) characteristics were determined at different time points in the culture and transduction process for hematopoietic progenitor cells expressing CD34 antigen from donors with MPS I and from normal donors. There were statistically significant changes in water transport, osmotically inactive cell volume fraction, and permeability between cells from different sources (normal donors vs donors with MPSI) and different culture conditions (freshly isolated vs cultured and transduced). Specifically, Lpg and Ea increased after ex vivo culture of the cells and the changes in permeability parameters were observed after as little as 3 days in culture. Similarly, the IIF characteristics of hematopoietic progenitor cells can also be influenced by the culture and transduction process. The IIF characteristics of freshly isolated cells from donors with MPS I were statistically distinct from those of cultured and transduced cells from the same donor. The ability to cryopreserve cells which are cultured ex vivo for therapeutic purposes will require an understanding of the biophysical changes resulting from the culture conditions and the manner in which these changes influence viability. 相似文献

Recent studies have demonstrated the usefulness of dendritic cells (DCs) genetically modified by adenovirus vectors (Ad) to immunotherapy, while sufficient gene transduction into DCs is required for high doses of Ad. The RT-PCR analysis revealed that the relative resistance of DCs to Ad-mediated gene transfer is due to the absence of Coxsackie-adenovirus receptor expression, and that DCs expressed adequate alpha(v)-integrins. Therefore, we investigated whether fiber-mutant Ad containing the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence in the fiber knob can efficiently transduce and express high levels of the LacZ gene into DCs. The gene delivery by fiber-mutant Ad was more efficient than that by conventional Ad in both murine DC lines and normal human DCs (NHDC). Furthermore, NHDC transduced with fiber-mutant Ad and conventional Ad at 8000-vector particles/cell resulted in a 70-fold difference in beta-galactosidase activity. We propose that alpha(v)-integrin-targeted Ad is a very powerful tool with which to implement DC-based vaccination strategies. 相似文献

While it is clear that a single hematopoietic stem cell?(HSC) is capable of giving rise to all other hematopoietic cell types, the differentiation paths beyond HSC remain controversial. Contradictory reports on?the lineage potential of progenitor populations have questioned their physiological contribution of progenitor populations to multilineage differentiation. Here, we established a lineage tracing mouse model that enabled direct assessment of differentiation pathways in?vivo. We provide definitive evidence that differentiation into all hematopoietic lineages, including megakaryocyte/erythroid cell types, involves Flk2-expressing non-self-renewing progenitors. A Flk2+ stage was used during steady-state hematopoiesis, after irradiation-induced stress and upon HSC transplantation. In contrast, HSC origin and maintenance do not include a Flk2+ stage. These data demonstrate that HSC specification and maintenance are Flk2 independent, and that hematopoietic lineage separation occurs downstream of Flk2 upregulation. 相似文献

While identification and isolation of adult stem cells have potentially important implications, recent reports regarding dedifferentiation/reprogramming from differentiated cells have provided another clue to gain insight into source of tissue stem/progenitor cells. In this study, we developed a novel culture system to obtain dedifferentiated progenitor cells from normal human thyroid tissues. After enzymatic digestion, primary thyrocytes, expressing thyroglobulin, vimentin and cytokeratin-18, were cultured in a serum-free medium called SAGM. Although the vast majority of cells died, a small proportion (~0.5%) survived and proliferated. During initial cell expansion, thyroglobulin/cytokeratin-18 expression was gradually declined in the proliferating cells. Moreover, sorted cells expressing thyroid peroxidase gave rise to proliferating clones in SAGM. These data suggest that those cells are derived from thyroid follicular cells or at least thyroid-committed cells. The SAGM-grown cells did not express any thyroid-specific genes. However, after four-week incubation with FBS and TSH, cytokeratin-18, thyroglobulin, TSH receptor, PAX8 and TTF1 expressions re-emerged. Moreover, surprisingly, the cells were capable of differentiating into neuronal or adipogenic lineage depending on differentiating conditions. In summary, we have developed a novel system to generate multilineage progenitor cells from normal human thyroid tissues. This seems to be achieved by dedifferentiation of thyroid follicular cells. The presently described culture system may be useful for regenerative medicine, but the primary importance will be as a tool to elucidate the mechanisms of thyroid diseases. 相似文献
