A stroke causes a hypoxic brain microenvironment that alters neural cell metabolism resulting in cell membrane hyperpolarization and intracellular acidosis. We studied how intracellular pH (pHi) is regulated in differentiated mouse neural progenitor cells during hyperpolarizing conditions, induced by prompt reduction of the extracellular K+ concentration. We found that the radial glia-like population in differentiating embryonic neural progenitor cells, but not neuronal cells, was rapidly acidified under these conditions. However, when extracellular calcium was removed, an instant depolarization and recovery of the pHi, back to normal levels, took place. The rapid recovery phase seen in the absence of calcium, was dependent on extracellular bicarbonate and could be inhibited by S0859, a potent Na/HCO3 cotransporter inhibitor. Immunostaining and PCR data, showed that NBCe1 (SLC4A4) and NBCn1 (SLC4A7) were expressed in the cell population and that the pHi recovery in the radial glial-like cells after calcium removal was mediated mainly by the electrogenic sodium bicarbonate transporter NBCe1 (SLC4A4). Our results indicate that extracellular calcium might hamper pHi regulation and Na/HCO3 cotransporter activity in a brain injury microenvironment. Our findings show that the NBC-type transporters are the main pHi regulating systems prevailing in glia-like progenitor cells and that these calcium sensitive transporters are important for neuronal progenitor cell proliferation, survival and neural stem cell differentiation. 相似文献

Neuronal differentiation of embryonic neural progenitor cells is regulated by both intrinsic and extrinsic signals. Since dynamic changes in cell shape typify neuronal differentiation, cell adhesion molecules could be relevant to this process. Although it has been reported that fibronectin-integrin interactions are important for the proliferation of neural progenitor cells, little is known about the contribution of integrins to neuronal differentiation. In order to address this shortfall, we examined integrin expression on cortical progenitor cells by using immunohistochemistry and FACS analysis of cells in which GFP expression was driven by regulatory (promoter) regions of the nestin gene (nestin-GFP(+)). We here report that high levels of nestin promoter activity correlated with high expression levels of alpha(5)beta(1) integrin (alpha(5)beta(1)(high) cells). FACS analysis of nestin-GFP(+) cortical cells revealed an additional subpopulation with reduced expression of alpha(5)beta(1) integrin (alpha(5)beta(1)(low) cells). The size of the alpha(5)beta(1)(low) subpopulation increased during cortical development. To investigate the correlation between integrin and neuronal differentiation, nestin-GFP(+) cortical progenitor cells were sorted into alpha(5)beta(1)(high) or alpha(5)beta(1)(low) populations, and each potential to differentiate was analyzed. We show that the nestin-GFP(+) alpha(5)beta(1)(high) population corresponded to broadly multipotential neural progenitor cells, whereas nestin-GFP(+) alpha(5)beta(1)(low) cells appeared to be committed to a neuronal fate. These findings suggest that alpha(5)beta(1) expression on cortical progenitor cells is developmentally regulated and its downregulation is involved in the process of neuronal differentiation. 相似文献

Growth medium and substrate regulate the proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells in vitro and the expression of cell type-specific histochemical markers. An important question is whether neural progenitor cells exhibit voltage- and ligand-gated currents, features characteristic of neurons, and whether these currents are regulated differentially by growth conditions. Another issue of interest is whether passaged progenitor cells, after expansion with basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2), exhibit the same degree of plasticity as their primary counterparts, or whether they are more committed to a particular phenotype. In primary cultures of embryonic rat hippocampal progenitor cells, growth in proliferative conditions (FGF-2) was associated with low levels of sodium, calcium, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), and kainate currents compared with other growth conditions. After multiple passages in the continued presence of FGF-2, sodium, calcium, and NMDA, responses declined further; interestingly, kainate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) responses remained substantial. Moreover, the expression of functional channels and receptors in primary cultures of progenitor cells is up-regulated strongly by growth factors such as BDNF, and NT-3, whereas sodium and calcium currents in passaged cultures respond to such growth conditions to a lesser extent. Kainate and GABA responses were present to a significant extent in passaged cultures, independent of growth condition. We conclude that environmental cues regulate different channels and receptors in distinct ways in neural progenitor cells. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Neurobiol 32: 95–110, 1997. 相似文献

AIM:To find a safe source for dopaminergic neurons,we generated neural progenitor cell lines from human embryonic stem cells.METHODS:The human embryonic stem(hES)cell line H9 was used to generate human neural progenitor(HNP)cell lines.The resulting HNP cell lines were differentiated into dopaminergic neurons and analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunofluorescence for the expression of neuronal differentiation markers,including beta-III tubulin(TUJ1)and tyrosine hydroxylase(TH).To assess the risk of teratoma or other tumor formation,HNP cell lines and mouse neuronal progenitor(MNP)cell lines were injected subcutaneously into immunodeficient SCID/beige mice.RESULTS:We developed a fairly simple and fast protocol to obtain HNP cell lines from hES cells.These cell lines,which can be stored in liquid nitrogen for several years,have the potential to differentiate in vitro into dopaminergic neurons.Following day 30 of differentiation culture,the majority of the cells analyzed expressed the neuronal marker TUJ1 and a high proportion of these cells were positive for TH,indicating differentiation into dopaminergic neurons.In contrast to H9 ES cells,the HNP cell lines did not form tumors in immunodeficient SCID/beige mice within 6 mo after subcutaneous injection.Similarly,no tumors developed after injection of MNP cells.Notably,mouse ES cells or neuronal cells directly differentiated from mouse ES cells formed teratomas in more than 90%of the recipients.CONCLUSION:Our findings indicate that neural progenitor cell lines can differentiate into dopaminergic neurons and bear no risk of generating teratomas or other tumors in immunodeficient mice. 相似文献

The ability to culture neural progenitor cells from the adult human brain has provided an exciting opportunity to develop and test potential therapies on adult human brain cells. To achieve a reliable and reproducible adult human neural progenitor cell (AhNPC) culture system for this purpose, this study fully characterized the cellular composition of the AhNPC cultures, as well as the possible changes to this in vitro system over prolonged culture periods. We isolated cells from the neurogenic subventricular zone/hippocampus (SVZ/HP) of the adult human brain and found a heterogeneous culture population comprised of several types of post-mitotic brain cells (neurons, astrocytes, and microglia), and more importantly, two distinct mitotic cell populations; the AhNPCs, and the fibroblast-like cells (FbCs). These two populations can easily be mistaken for a single population of AhNPCs, as they both proliferate under AhNPC culture conditions, form spheres and express neural progenitor cell and early neuronal markers, all of which are characteristics of AhNPCs in vitro. However, despite these similarities under proliferating conditions, under neuronal differentiation conditions, only the AhNPCs differentiated into functional neurons and glia. Furthermore, AhNPCs showed limited proliferative capacity that resulted in their depletion from culture by 5-6 passages, while the FbCs, which appear to be from a neurovascular origin, displayed a greater proliferative capacity and dominated the long-term cultures. This gradual change in cellular composition resulted in a progressive decline in neurogenic potential without the apparent loss of self-renewal in our cultures. These results demonstrate that while AhNPCs and FbCs behave similarly under proliferative conditions, they are two different cell populations. This information is vital for the interpretation and reproducibility of AhNPC experiments and suggests an ideal time frame for conducting AhNPC-based experiments. 相似文献

Neuroepithelial cells undergoing differentiation efficiently remodel their cytoskeleton and shape in an energy-consuming process. The capacity of autophagy to recycle cellular components and provide energy could fulfill these requirements, thus supporting differentiation. However, little is known regarding the role of basal autophagy in neural differentiation. Here we report an increase in the expression of the autophagy genes Atg7, Becn1, Ambra1 and LC3 in vivo in the mouse embryonic olfactory bulb (OB) during the initial period of neuronal differentiation at E15.5, along with a parallel increase in neuronal markers. In addition, we observed an increase in LC3 lipidation and autophagic flux during neuronal differentiation in cultured OB-derived stem/progenitor cells. Pharmacological inhibition of autophagy with 3-MA or wortmannin markedly decreased neurogenesis. These observations were supported by similar findings in two autophagy-deficient genetic models. In Ambra1 loss-of-function homozygous mice (gt/gt) the expression of several neural markers was decreased in the OB at E13.5 in vivo. In vitro, Ambra1 haploinsufficient cells developed as small neurospheres with an impaired capacity for neuronal generation. The addition of methylpyruvate during stem/progenitor cell differentiation in culture largely reversed the inhibition of neurogenesis induced by either 3-MA or Ambra1 haploinsufficiency, suggesting that neural stem/progenitor cells activate autophagy to fulfill their high energy demands. Further supporting the role of autophagy for neuronal differentiation Atg5-null OB cells differentiating in culture displayed decreased TuJ1 levels and lower number of cells with neurites. These results reveal new roles for autophagy-related molecules Atg5 and Ambra1 during early neuronal differentiation of stem/progenitor cells. 相似文献

Differentiation of human embryonic stem (ES) cells and embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells provides an in vitro model to study the process of neuronal differentiation. Retinoic acid (RA) is frequently used to promote neural differentiation of pluripotent cells under a wide variety of culture conditions. Through systematic comparison of differentiation conditions we demonstrate that RA induced neuronal differentiation of human ES and EC cells requires prolonged RA exposure and intercellular communication mediated by high cell density. These parameters are necessary for the up-regulation of neural gene expression (SOX2, PAX6 and NeuroD1) and the eventual appearance of neurons. Forced over-expression of neither SOX2 nor NEUROD1 was sufficient to overcome the density dependency of neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, inhibition of GSK3β activity blocked the ability of RA to direct cell differentiation along the neural lineage, suggesting a role for appropriately regulated WNT signalling. These data indicate that RA mediated neuronal differentiation of human EC and ES cell lines is not a cell autonomous program but comprises of a multi-staged program that requires intercellular input. 相似文献

Coordinated proliferation and differentiation of progenitor cells is the base for production of appropriate numbers of neurons and glia during neuronal development in order to establish normal brain functions. We have used murine embryonal carcinoma P19 cells as an in vitro model for early differentiation to study participation of nicotinic (nAChR) and muscarinic acetylcholine (mAChR) receptors in the proliferation of neural progenitor cells and their differentiation to neurons. We have previously shown that functional nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) already expressed in embryonic cells mediate elevations in cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) via calcium influx through nAChR channels whereas intracellular stores contribute to nAChR- and mAChR-mediated calcium fluxes in differentiated cells [Resende et al., Cell Calcium 43 (2008) 107-121]. In the present study, we have demonstrated that nicotine provoked inhibition of proliferation in embryonic cells as determined by BrdU labeling. However, in neural progenitor cells nicotine stimulated proliferation which was reversed in the presence of inhibitors of calcium mobilization from intracellular stores, indicating that liberation of intracellular calcium contributed to this proliferation induction. Muscarine induced proliferation stimulation in progenitor cells by activation of Galphaq/11-coupled M1, M3 and M5 receptors and intracellular calcium stores, whereas Galphai/o-protein coupled M2 receptor activity mediated neuronal differentiation. 相似文献

Generating neural stem cells and neurons from reprogrammed human astrocytes is a potential strategy for neurological repair. Here we show dedifferentiation of human cortical astrocytes into the neural stem/progenitor phenotype to obtain progenitor and mature cells with a neural fate. Ectopic expression of the reprogramming factors OCT4, SOX2, or NANOG into astrocytes in specific cytokine/culture conditions activated the neural stem gene program and induced generation of cells expressing neural stem/precursor markers. Pure CD44+ mature astrocytes also exhibited this lineage commitment change and did not require passing through a pluripotent state. These astrocyte-derived neural stem cells gave rise to neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes and showed in vivo engraftment properties. ASCL1 expression further promoted neuronal phenotype acquisition in vitro and in vivo. Methylation analysis showed that epigenetic modifications underlie this process. The restoration of multipotency from human astrocytes has potential in cellular reprogramming of endogenous central nervous system cells in neurological disorders. 相似文献

Background
Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) provide a unique model to study early events in human development. The hESC-derived cells can potentially be used to replace or restore different tissues including neuronal that have been damaged by disease or injury.Methodology and Principal Findings
The cells of two different hESC lines were converted to neural rosettes using adherent and chemically defined conditions. The progenitor cells were exposed to retinoic acid (RA) or to human recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in the late phase of the rosette formation. Exposing the progenitor cells to RA suppressed differentiation to rostral forebrain dopamine neural lineage and promoted that of spinal neural tissue including motor neurons. The functional characteristics of these differentiated neuronal precursors under both, rostral (bFGF) and caudalizing (RA) signals were confirmed by patch clamp analysis.Conclusions/Significance
These findings suggest that our differentiation protocol has the capacity to generate region-specific and electrophysiologically active neurons under in vitro conditions without embryoid body formation, co-culture with stromal cells and without presence of cells of mesodermal or endodermal lineages. 相似文献13.

Prior to transplantation, preclinical study of safety and efficacy of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) is needed. Therefore, it is important to generate an efficient in vitro platform for neural cell differentiation in large animal models such as pigs. In this study, porcine‐induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were seeded at high cell density to a neural induction medium containing the dual Sma‐ and Mad‐related protein (SMAD) inhibitors, a TGF‐β inhibitor and BMP4 inhibitor. The dSMADi‐derived NPCs showed NPC markers such as PLAG1, NESTIN and VIMENTIN and higher mRNA expression of Sox1 compared to the control. The mRNA expression of HOXB4 was found to significantly increase in the retinoic acid‐treated group. NPCs propagated in vitro and generated neurospheres that are capable of further differentiation in neurons and glial cells. Gliobalstoma‐cultured medium including injury‐related cytokines treated porcine iPSC‐NPCs survive well in vitro and showed more neuronal marker expression compared to standard control medium. Collectively, the present study developed an efficient method for production of neural commitment of porcine iPSCs into NPCs. 相似文献

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Embryonic stem cell (ESC) transplantation offers new therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases and injury. However, the mechanisms underlying integration and differentiation of engrafted ESCs are poorly understood. This study elucidates the influence of exogenous signals on ESC differentiation using in vitro modelling of non-stem/stem cell interactions. METHODS: Murine ESCs were co-cultured with endothelial cells and astrocytes or conditioned medium obtained from endothelial or astrocyte cultures. After 7 days of co-culture isolated RNA was analysed using RT-PCR for the expression of pluripotency marker oct-4, neural progenitor marker nestin, and neurofilament (NFL), an early marker of neuronal lineage commitment. The presence of the glial cell surface marker A2B5 was determined in ESCs by flow cytometry. RESULTS: Neuronal differentiation was inhibited in ESCs when grown in close vicinity to cerebral endothelial or glial cells. Under these conditions, ESC differentiation was predominantly directed towards a glial fate. However, treatment of ESCs with endothelial cell- or astrocyte-conditioned medium promoted neuronal as well as glial differentiation. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that ESC fate is determined by endothelial and glial cells that comprise the environmental niche of these stem cells in vivo. The direction of differentiation processes appears to be dependent on humoral factors secreted by adjacent cell lines. 相似文献

The rat taste cells responded to K-benzoate solutions higher than the threshold concentrations (0.03-0.3 M) with a depolarizing receptor potential, but they responded to K-benzoate lower than the thresholds with a hyperpolarizing receptor potential. In either depolarizing or hyperpolarizing receptor potentials the rise time decreased with increasing amplitude, but the fall time increased with increasing amplitude. During generation of either depolarizing or hyperpolarizing receptor potentials the input resistance of taste cells decreased with increasing amplitude. Application of the mixtures of various concentrations of NaCl and 0.05 M K-benzoate resulted in a reduction of receptor potential amplitude, as compared with that evoked by application of NaCl alone. It is concluded that a depression of gustatory neural impulse frequency by low concentrations of K-benzoate is mainly due to the hyperpolarizing receptor potential of taste cells elicited by the K-benzoate solutions. 相似文献

Isolation and culturing of human neuronal progenitor cells is of significant value for both fundamental research and therapeutic purposes. In this work, human embryonic neuronal cells were characterized as a heterogeneous population of progenitor cells with various differentiation potentials. During in vitro culturing the cells are capable of re-inoculating, proliferating, differentiating and migrating. While differentiating, these cells form neurons and glial cells. The present research demonstrates that depending upon the culturing conditions the embryonic neuronal cells may either form floating aggregates (incubation with embryonic serum), attach (incubation without serum), proliferate, or form neurospheres. Besides, peculiarities of aggregate differentiation during their incubation under various media are described. 相似文献

Cell transplantation to treat retinal degenerative diseases represents an option for the replacement of lost photoreceptor cells. In vitro expandable cells isolated from the developing mammalian retina have been suggested as a potential source for the generation of high numbers of donor photoreceptors. In this study we used standardized culture conditions based on the presence of the mitogens FGF-2 and EGF to generate high numbers of cells in vitro from the developing mouse retina. These presumptive 'retinal stem cells' ('RSCs') can be propagated as monolayer cultures over multiple passages, express markers of undifferentiated neural cells, and generate neuronal and glial cell types upon withdrawal of mitogens in vitro or following transplantation into the adult mouse retina. The proportion of neuronal differentiation can be significantly increased by stepwise removal of mitogens and inhibition of the notch signaling pathway. However, 'RSCs', by contrast to their primary counterparts in vivo, i.e. retinal progenitor cells, loose the expression of retina-specific progenitor markers like Rax and Chx10 after passaging and fail to differentiate into photoreceptors both in vitro or after intraretinal transplantation. Notably, 'RSCs' can be induced to differentiate into myelinating oligodendrocytes, a cell type not generated by primary retinal progenitor cells. Based on these findings we conclude that 'RSCs' expanded in high concentrations of FGF-2 and EGF loose their retinal identity and acquire features of in vitro expandable neural stem-like cells making them an inappropriate cell source for strategies aimed at replacing photoreceptor cells in the degenerated retina. 相似文献

Identification of conditions for guided and specific differentiation of human stem cell and progenitor cells is important for continued development and engineering of in vitro cell culture systems for use in regenerative medicine, drug discovery, and human toxicology. Three-dimensional (3D) and organotypic cell culture models have been used increasingly for in vitro cell culture because they may better model endogenous tissue environments. However, detailed studies of stem cell differentiation within 3D cultures remain limited, particularly with respect to high-throughput screening. Herein, we demonstrate the use of a microarray chip-based platform to screen, in high-throughput, individual and paired effects of 12 soluble factors on the neuronal differentiation of a human neural progenitor cell line (ReNcell VM) encapsulated in microscale 3D Matrigel cultures. Dose–response analysis of selected combinations from the initial combinatorial screen revealed that the combined treatment of all-trans retinoic acid (RA) with the glycogen synthase kinase 3 inhibitor CHIR-99021 (CHIR) enhances neurogenesis while simultaneously decreases astrocyte differentiation, whereas the combined treatment of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and the small azide neuropathiazol enhances the differentiation into neurons and astrocytes. Subtype specification analysis of RA- and CHIR-differentiated cultures revealed that enhanced neurogenesis was not biased toward a specific neuronal subtype. Together, these results demonstrate a high-throughput screening platform for rapid evaluation of differentiation conditions in a 3D environment, which will aid the development and application of 3D stem cell culture models. 相似文献

Wnt3a Promotes Hippocampal Neurogenesis by Shortening Cell Cycle Duration of Neural Progenitor Cells

The effects of Wnt signaling on neural progenitor cells have been controversial. Activation of the canonical Wnt signaling
pathway either promotes neural progenitor cell proliferation or accelerates their differentiation into postmitotic neurons.
This study demonstrates that activation of the Wnt signaling pathway by itself induces neural progenitor cell proliferation
but does not directly affect neuronal differentiation processes. To investigate whether Wnt signaling promotes expansion and/or
differentiation of neural progenitor cells in the developing hippocampus, we prepared primary mouse hippocampal progenitors
and treated them with Wnt3a in a chemically defined culture medium. Wnt3a increased the total number of cells, including the
numbers of Ki67+ proliferating cells and Tuj1+ differentiated neurons. This result verified that Wnt3a promoted neural progenitor cell proliferation. Meanwhile, Wnt3a did
not appear to actively enhance the neuronal differentiation process itself, because (1) the ratio of Tuj1+ cells to the total cells, and (2) the ratio of BrdU+ Tuj1+ cells to the total BrdU+ cells, were both comparable between cultures with or without Wnt3a. Indeed, Wnt3a caused no significant change in either
cell survival or the proportion of symmetric and asymmetric cell divisions that directly affected neuron production. We finally
demonstrated that the Wnt3a treatment simply shortened cell cycle duration of neural progenitor cells by 2.9 h. The accelerated
cell cycle progression without affecting the ratio of symmetric/asymmetric cell divisions explains how Wnt signaling per se
leads to the expansion of both proliferative cell population and differentiated neuronal cell population. 相似文献
