体外化学诱导人骨髓间充质干细胞分化为心肌样细胞

To investigate the potential of adult mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) derived from human bone marrow to undergo cardiomyogenic differentiation after exposure of 5-azacytidine in vitro. A small bone marrow aspirate was taken from the iliac crest of human volunteers, and hMSCs were isolated by 1.073 g/mL Percoll and cultured in the right cell culturing medium as previously described. The phonotypes of hMSCs were identified by flow cytometry. The stem cells were cultured in cell culture medium (as control) and medium mixed with 5-azacytidine (5-aza, 3, 5, 10 micromol/L) (n=5, respectively) for cellular differentiation. We examined respectively with immunohischemistry at 21 days of inducement on desmin, cardiac-specific cardiac troponin I (cTnI), GATA4 & connexin43. The ultrastructures of induced cells were examined by transmission electron microscope. The results indicated that the hMSCs showed a fibroblast-like morphology with vortex distribution in their peak propagation, and express high level of CD44 but negative for CD34 and CD45. 20%-30% cells grown after 5, 10 microl/L 5-aza treatment connected with adjoining cells and coalesced into myotube structures after 14 days. After 21 days of culturing, immunohistochemistry revealed expression of desmin, GATA4, cTnI and connexin43 in 5, 10 micromol/L showed positive, but no cardiac specific protein were found in neither 3 micromol/L nor in control group. The ratio of cTnI positive stained cells in 10 micromol/L group were higher than that in 5 micromol/L group (65.3+/-4.7% vs 48.2+/-5.4%, p<0.05). Electron microscopy revealed myofilaments were formed. The results indicated that purified hMSCs from adult bone marrow can be differentiated into cardiac-like muscle cells with 5-aza inducement in vitro and the differentiation is in line with the 5-aza concentration.     

Shh and Fgf8 act synergistically to drive cartilage outgrowth during cranial development

Much of the skeleton and connective tissue of the vertebrate head is derived from cranial neural crest. During development, cranial neural crest cells migrate from the dorsal neural tube to populate the forming face and pharyngeal arches. Fgf8 and Shh, signaling molecules known to be important for craniofacial development, are expressed in distinct domains in the developing face. Specifically, in chick embryos these molecules are expressed in adjacent but non-overlapping patterns in the epithelium covering crest-derived mesenchyme that will give rise to the skeletal projections of the upper and lower beaks. It has been suggested that these molecules play important roles in patterning the developing face. Here, we directly examine the ability of FGF8 and SHH signaling, singly and in combination, to regulate cranial skeletogenesis, both in vitro and in vivo. We find that SHH and FGF8 have strong synergistic effects on chondrogenesis in vitro and are sufficient to promote outgrowth and chondrogenesis in vivo, suggesting a very specific role for these molecules in producing the elongated beak structures during chick facial development.

Loss of glypican-3 function causes growth factor-dependent defects in cardiac and coronary vascular development

Glypican-3 (Gpc3) is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) expressed widely during vertebrate development. Loss-of-function mutations cause Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS), a rare and complex congenital overgrowth syndrome with a number of associated developmental abnormalities including congenital heart disease. We found that Gpc3-deficient mice display a high incidence of congenital cardiac malformations like ventricular septal defects, common atrioventricular canal and double outlet right ventricle. In addition we observed coronary artery fistulas, which have not been previously reported in SGBS. Coronary artery fistulas are noteworthy because little is known about the molecular basis of this abnormality. Formation of the coronary vascular plexus in Gpc3-deficient embryos was delayed compared to wild-type, and consistent with GPC3 functioning as a co-receptor for fibroblast growth factor-9 (FGF9), we found a reduction in Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) mRNA expression and signaling in embryonic mutant hearts. Interestingly, we found an asymmetric reduction in SHH signaling in cardiac myocytes, as compared with perivascular cells, resulting in excessive coronary artery formation in the Gpc3-deficient animals. We hypothesize that the excessive development of coronary arteries over veins enables the formation of coronary artery fistulas. This work has broad significance to understanding the genetic basis of coronary development and potentially to molecular mechanisms relevant to revascularization following ischemic injury to the heart.

Functional Analysis of Neuron-like Cells Differentiated from Neural Stem Cells Derived from Bone Marrow Stroma Cells in vitro

The transversal differentiation of bone marrow stroma cell (BMSCs) into neural stem cells (NSCs) has attracted much attention in recent years because of their therapeutic potential. However, the problem in therapeutic application of NSCs was how to confirm whether neuron-like cells differentiated from bone marrow stroma cell-derived neural stem cells (BMSCs-D-NSCs) possess corresponding functions of neurochemistry and electrophysiology. In the present study, we tried to affirm the function of neuron-like cells differentiated from BMSCs-D-NSCs in vitro. The BMSCs were harvested by gradient centrifugation in Ficoll-Paque and cultured in “NSCs medium”. Immunocytochemistry was used to detect positive expression of neuron-specific nuclear protein (NeuN) in neuron-like cells derived from the BMSCs-D-NSCs. High-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to identify neuron-like cells by detecting excitable amino acids [aspartic acid (Asp), glutamic acid (Glu)], inhibited amino acids [glycine (Gly), gamma (γ) -aminobutyric acid (GABA), alanine (Ala)] or monoamines [noradrenaline (NE), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), dopamine (DA)]. Electrophysiological properties of the neuron-like cells were also examined using patch clamp analysis to verify their neuron-like functions. It was found that the neuron-like cells differentiated from the BMSCs-D-NSCs could express positive NeuN, synthesize and excrete amino acids, and show some typical electrophysiological properties including the typical Na⁺ and K⁺ ion channel membrane current under the voltage patch clamp condition, the typical static electrical membrane potential under the current patch clamp condition, and the differential membrane capacitance and resistance values in series between undifferentiated BMSCs-D-NSCs and differentiated neuron-like cells under the whole-cell patch clamp condition. The neuron-like cells differentiated from BMSCs-D-NSCs exhibit both neuron-like biochemical function and some corresponding electrophysiological properties.
