Retinoic acid and neurotrophins collaborate to regulate neurogenesis in adult-derived neural stem cell cultures 总被引:53,自引:0,他引:53
ABSTRACT: The adult rat hippocampus contains fibroblast growth factor 2-responsive stem cells that are self-renewing and have the ability to generate both neurons and glia in vitro, but little is known about the molecular events that regulate stem cell differentiation. Hippocampus-derived stem cell clones were used to examine the effects of retinoic acid (RA) on neuronal differentiation. Exposure to RA caused an immediate up-regulation of NeuroD, increased p21 expression, and concurrent exit from cell cycle. These changes were accompanied by a threefold increase in the number of cells differentiating into immature neurons. An accompanying effect of RA was to sustain or up-regulate trkA, trkB, trkC, and p75NGFR expression. Without RA treatment, cells were minimally responsive to neurotrophins (NTs), whereas the sequential application of RA followed by brain-derived neurotrophic factor or NT-3 led to a significant increase in neurons displaying mature y-a-minobutyric acid, acetylcholinesterase, tyrosine hydroxylase, or calbindin phenotypes. Although NTs promoted maturation, they had little effect on the total number of neurons generated, suggesting that RA and neurotrophins acted at distinct stages in neurogenesis. RA first promoted the acquisition of a neuronal fate, and NTs subsequently enhanced maturation by way of RA-dependent expression of the Trk receptors. In combination, these sequential effects were sufficient to stimulate stem cell-derived progenitors to differentiate into neurons displaying a variety of transmitter phenotypes. 相似文献

The prospect of using embryonic stem cell (ESC)‐derived neural progenitors and neurons to treat neurological disorders has led to great interest in defining the conditions that guide the differentiation of ESCs, and more recently induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), into neural stem cells (NSCs) and a variety of neuronal and glial subtypes. Over the past decade, researchers have looked to the embryo to guide these studies, applying what we know about the signaling events that direct neural specification during development. This has led to the design of a number of protocols that successfully promote ESC neurogenesis, terminating with the production of neurons and glia with diverse regional addresses and functional properties. These protocols demonstrate that ESCs undergo neural specification in two, three, and four dimensions, mimicking the cell–cell interactions, patterning, and timing that characterizes the in vivo process. We therefore propose that these in vitro systems can be used to examine the molecular regulation of neural specification. J. Cell. Biochem. 111: 535–542, 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Adult neurogenesis persists in the hippocampus of most mammal species during postnatal and adult life, including humans, although it declines markedly with age. The mechanisms driving the age‐dependent decline of hippocampal neurogenesis are yet not fully understood. The progressive loss of neural stem cells (NSCs) is a main factor, but the true neurogenic output depends initially on the actual number of activated NSCs in each given time point. Because the fraction of activated NSCs remains constant relative to the total population, the real number of activated NSCs declines in parallel to the total NSC pool. We investigated aging‐associated changes in NSCs and found that there are at least two distinct populations of NSCs. An alpha type, which maintains the classic type‐1 radial morphology and accounts for most of the overall NSC mitotic activity; and an omega type characterized by increased reactive‐like morphological complexity and much lower probability of division even under a pro‐activation challenge. Finally, our results suggest that alpha‐type NSCs are able to transform into omega‐type cells overtime and that this phenotypic and functional change might be facilitated by the chronic inflammation associated with aging. 相似文献

Numerous reagents were employed for differentiating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into male germ cells; however, the induction procedure was ineffective. The aim of this study was to improve the in vitro differentiation of mice iPSCs (miPSCs) into male germ cells with retinoic acid (RA) and progesterone (P). miPSCs were differentiated to embryoid bodies (EBs) in suspension with RA with or without progesterone for 0, 4, and 7 days. Then, the expression of certain genes at different stages of male germ cell development including Ddx4 (pre meiosis), Stra8 (meiosis), AKAP3 (post meiosis), and Mvh protein was examined in RNA and/or protein levels by real-time polymerase chain reaction or flow cytometry, respectively. The Stra8 gene expression increased in the RA groups on all days. But, expression of this gene declined in RA + P groups. In addition, an increased expression of Ddx4 gene was observed on day 0 in the P group. Also, a significant upregulation was observed in the expression of AKAP3 gene in the RA + P group on days 0 and 4. However, gene expression decreased in P and RA groups on day 7. The expression of Mvh protein significantly increased in the RA group on day 7. The Mvh expression was also enhanced in the P group on day 4, but it decreased on day 7, while this protein upregulated on day 0 and 7 in the RA + P group. The miPSCs have the capacity for in vitro differentiation into male germ cells by RA and/or progesterone. However, the effects of these inducers depend on the type of combination and an effective time. 相似文献

In the adult hippocampus, new neurons are continuously generated and incorporated into the local circuitry in a manner dependent on the network activity. Depolarization evoked by neurotransmitters has been assumed to activate L‐type Ca2+ channels (LTCC) which regulate the intracellular Ca2+‐dependent signaling cascades. The process of neurogenesis contains several stages such as proliferation, fate determination, selective death/survival and maturation. Here, we investigated which stage of neurogenesis is under the regulation of LTCC using a clonal line of neural stem/progenitor cells, PZ5, which was derived from adult rat hippocampus. Although undifferentiated PZ5 cells were type 1‐like cells expressing both nestin and glial fibrillary acidic protein, they generated neuronal, astrocytic and oligodendrocytic populations in differentiation medium containing retinoic acid. Proliferation of undifferentiated PZ5 cells was dependent on neither the LTCC antagonist, nimodipine (Nimo) nor the LTCC agonists, Bay K 8644 (BayK) or FPL 64176 (FPL), whereas the fraction of neuronal population that expressed both βIII‐tubulin and MAP2 was reduced by Nimo but increased by BayK or FPL. At an earlier period of differentiation (e.g. day 4), the fraction of PZ5 cells expressing HuC/D, pan‐neuronal marker, was not affected either by the LTCC activation or inhibition. At a later period of differentiation (e.g. day 9), the fraction of dying neurons was decreased by LTCC activation and increased by LTCC inhibition. It is suggested that the LTCC activation facilitates the survival and maturation of immature neurons, and that its inhibition facilitates the neuronal death. 相似文献

To induce neural differentiation of P19 cells, two different treatments, RA (retinoic acid) and cell aggregation, are required. However, there has been no report that RA treatment alone or cell aggregation alone could control alternative splicing regulation in P19 cells. Therefore, we focused on alternative splicing effects by neural induction (RA treatment and/or cell aggregation) in P19 cells. We analysed the splicing patterns of several genes, including 5‐HT3R‐A (5‐hydroxytryptamine receptor), Actn1 (actinin alpha1), CUGBP2 (CUG‐binding protein) and PTB (polypyrimidine track‐binding protein), which showed different responses during the early neural induction of P19 cells. We show here that RA treatment alone changes the alternative splice mechanism of 5‐HT3R‐A. Cell aggregation alone controls alternative splicing regulation of Actn1. Both treatments (RA and cell aggregation) compensate and regulate the alternative splicing mechanism of CUGBP2. However, PTB is independent of RA and cell aggregation. Taken together, our results suggest that RA treatment and cell aggregation independently regulate the alternative splicing mechanism in the early stage of P19 cells during neural differentiation. 相似文献

Throughout life, neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult hippocampus persistently generate new neurons that modify the neural circuitry. Adult NSCs constitute a relatively quiescent cell population but can be activated by extrinsic neurogenic stimuli. However, the molecular mechanism that controls such reversible quiescence and its physiological significance have remained unknown. Here, we show that the cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor p57kip2 (p57) is required for NSC quiescence. In addition, our results suggest that reduction of p57 protein in NSCs contributes to the abrogation of NSC quiescence triggered by extrinsic neurogenic stimuli such as running. Moreover, deletion of p57 in NSCs initially resulted in increased neurogenesis in young adult and aged mice. Long‐term p57 deletion, on the contrary, led to NSC exhaustion and impaired neurogenesis in aged mice. The regulation of NSC quiescence by p57 might thus have important implications for the short‐term (extrinsic stimuli‐dependent) and long‐term (age‐related) modulation of neurogenesis. 相似文献

A remarkable up-regulation of neurogenesis through increased proliferation of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSCs) is a well-known plasticity displayed by the young dentate gyrus (DG) following brain injury. To ascertain whether this plasticity is preserved during aging, we quantified DG neurogenesis in the young adult, middle-aged and aged F344 rats after kainic acid induced hippocampal injury. Measurement of new cells that are added to the dentate granule cell layer (GCL) between post-injury days 4 and 15 using 5'-bromodeoxyuridine labeling revealed an increased addition of new cells in the young DG but not in the middle-aged and aged DG. Quantification of newly born neurons using doublecortin immunostaining also demonstrated a similar trend. Furthermore, the extent of ectopic migration of new neurons into the dentate hilus was dramatically increased in the young DG but was unaltered in the middle-aged and aged DG. However, there was no change in neuronal fate-choice decision of newly born cells following injury in all age groups. Similarly, comparable fractions of new cells that are added to the GCL after injury exhibited 5-month survival and expressed the mature neuronal marker NeuN, regardless of age or injury at the time of their birth. Thus, hippocampal injury does not adequately stimulate NSCs in the middle-aged and aged DG, resulting in no changes in neurogenesis after injury. Interestingly, rates of both neuronal fate-choice decision and long-term survival of newly born cells remain stable with injury in all age groups. These results underscore that the ability of the DG to increase neurogenesis after injury is lost as early as middle age. 相似文献

Human neural progenitor cells derived from embryonic stem cells in feeder-free cultures 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Derivation of human neural progenitors (hNP) from human embryonic stem (hES) cells in culture has been reported with the use of feeder cells or conditioned media. This introduces undefined components into the system, limiting the ability to precisely investigate the requirement for factors that control the process. Also, the use of feeder cells of non-human origin introduces the potential for zoonotic transmission, limiting its clinical usefulness. Here we report a feeder-free system to produce hNP from hES cells and test the effects of various media components involved in the process. Five protocols using defined media components were compared for efficiency of hNP generation. Based on this analysis, we discuss the role of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2), N2 supplement, non-essential amino acids (NEAA), and knock-out serum replacement (KSR) on the process of hNP generation. All protocols led to down-regulation of Oct4/POU5F1 expression (from 90.5% to <3%), and up-regulation of neural progenitor markers to varying degrees. Media with N2 but not KSR and NEAA produced cultures with significantly higher (p<0.05) expression of the neural progenitor marker Musashi 1 (MSI1). Approximately 89% of these cells were Nestin (NES)+ after 3 weeks, but they did not proliferate. In contrast, differentiation media supplemented with KSR and NEAA produced fewer NES+ (75%) cells, but these cells were proliferative, and by five passages the culture consisted of >97% NES+ cells. This suggests that KSR and NEAA supplements did not enhance early differentiation but did promote proliferating of hNP cell cultures. This resulted in an efficient, robust, repeatable differentiation system suitable for generating large populations of hNP cells. This will facilitate further study of molecular and biochemical mechanisms in early human neural differentiation and potentially produce uniform neuronal cells for therapeutic uses without concern of zoonotic transmission from feeder layers. 相似文献

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent cells derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) that are able to self-renew or undergo differentiation depending on a complex interplay of extracellular signals and intracellular factors. However, the feedback regulation of differentiation-dependent ESC self-renewal is poorly understood. Retinoic acid (RA), a derivative of vitamin A, plays a critical role in ESC differentiation and embryogenesis. In the present study, we demonstrate that short-term treatment of murine (m) ESCs with RA during the early differentiation stage prevented spontaneous differentiation of mESCs. The RA-treated cells maintained self-renewal capacity and could differentiate into neuronal cells, cardiomyocytes, and visceral endoderm cells derived from three germ layers. The differentiation-inhibitory effect of RA was mimicked by conditioned medium from RA-treated ESCs and was accompanied with up-regulated expression of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), Wnt3a, Wnt5a, and Wnt6. Such RA-induced prevention of ESC differentiation was attenuated by a neutralizing antibody against LIF or by a specific Wnt antagonist Fz8-Fc and was totally reversed in the presence of both of them. Furthermore, knock-down of beta-catenin, a component of the Wnt signaling pathway, by small interfering RNA counteracted the effect of RA. In addition, RA treatment enhanced expression of endodermal markers GATA4 and AFP but inhibited expression of primitive ectodermal marker Fgf-5 and mesodermal marker Brachyury. These findings reveal a novel role of RA in ESC self-renewal and provide new insight into the regulatory mechanism of differentiation-dependent self-renewal of ESCs, in which Wnt proteins and LIF induced by RA have the synergistic action. The short-term treatment of ESCs with RA also offers a unique model system for study of the regulatory mechanism that controls self-renewal and specific germ-layer differentiation of ESCs. 相似文献

In the adult, neurogenesis occurs where constellations of signaling molecules are correctly orchestrated and where competent cells are present to interpret these signals. As the instruments used to observe adult neurogenesis become more sophisticated, the concept of a discrete competent "stem cell" has become less concrete. Neural progenitor cells once thought committed to a single lineage can be influenced to become multipotent and somatic tissues appear to yield cells capable of tremendous peripheral and central lineage potential. The variety of cell types that appear competent to generate neurons suggests that the "Hilios" of adult neurogenesis may not necessarily be a single cellular entity but rather the sum of signals that dictate, "Make a new neuron here." These signals may not be limited to the recruitment of preexisting neural stem cells but may also, in some subtle way, reprogram local precursors to create "stem-like cells," where needed. 相似文献

Disruption of neurogenesis by amyloid beta-peptide,and perturbed neural progenitor cell homeostasis,in models of Alzheimer's disease 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22

Neurogenesis occurs in the adult mammalian brain and may play roles in learning and memory processes and recovery from injury, suggesting that abnormalities in neural progenitor cells (NPC) might contribute to the pathogenesis of disorders of learning and memory in humans. The objectives of this study were to determine whether NPC proliferation, survival and neuronal differentiation are impaired in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and to determine the effects of the pathogenic form of amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) on the survival and neuronal differentiation of cultured NPC. The proliferation and survival of NPC in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus was reduced in mice transgenic for a mutated form of amyloid precursor protein that causes early onset familial AD. Abeta impaired the proliferation and neuronal differentiation of cultured human and rodent NPC, and promoted apoptosis of neuron-restricted NPC by a mechanism involving dysregulation of cellular calcium homeostasis and the activation of calpains and caspases. Adverse effects of Abeta on NPC may contribute to the depletion of neurons and cognitive impairment in AD. 相似文献

多潜能干细胞具有无限增殖的能力,并能够分化为心肌细胞,因此在心脏再生方面拥有巨大潜力.胚胎发育过程为干细胞定向分化提供了重要线索,在过去的几年中,通过操控心脏发育关键通路,在心肌定向分化方面取得了重要进展,但是现有的分化方法仍不能稳定地诱导心肌细胞,表明现有的通路不能有效解决这些问题.视黄酸(RA)通路在心脏发育过程中发挥重要作用,RA缺失会导致心房变小、心室小梁减少、心肌壁增厚且细胞间连接松散.在体外心肌定向分化过程中,RA多用于促进多潜能干细胞向心房分化.但从RA通路基因敲除小鼠的表型来看,除了调控心肌亚型分化,RA在多个发育阶段发挥重要作用.深入解析RA在心肌分化各阶段的作用机制,将有助于获得高质量的心肌细胞.同时,研究RA在心内膜和心外膜分化中的作用机制也有助于解释RA通路敲除小鼠的心脏异常.总之,从RA在胚胎发育中的作用来看,需要更多的体外研究来揭示RA在心肌谱系分化中的作用.本文综述了RA通路在心脏发育的心肌分化过程中的作用,并探讨了需要解决的问题. 相似文献

Understanding how complex tissues are formed, maintained, and regenerated through local growth, differentiation, and remodeling requires knowledge on how single‐cell behaviors are coordinated on the population level. The self‐renewing hair follicle, maintained by a distinct stem cell population, represents an excellent paradigm to address this question. A major obstacle in mechanistic understanding of hair follicle stem cell (HFSC) regulation has been the lack of a culture system that recapitulates HFSC behavior while allowing their precise monitoring and manipulation. Here, we establish an in vitro culture system based on a 3D extracellular matrix environment and defined soluble factors, which for the first time allows expansion and long‐term maintenance of murine multipotent HFSCs in the absence of heterologous cell types. Strikingly, this scheme promotes de novo generation of HFSCs from non‐HFSCs and vice versa in a dynamic self‐organizing process. This bidirectional interconversion of HFSCs and their progeny drives the system into a population equilibrium state. Our study uncovers regulatory dynamics by which phenotypic plasticity of cells drives population‐level homeostasis within a niche, and provides a discovery tool for studies on adult stem cell fate. 相似文献
