Periosteum-derived progenitor cells (PDPCs) could be differentiated into cartilage using atelocollagen as a carrier and in
the presence of transforming growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3). Chondrogenesis was verified by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Expression
of the type II collagen mRNA was found from the differentiated PDPCs in atelocollagen 3 weeks after chondrogenic induction.
The chondrogenic potential of the PDPCs was also verified by histochemical staining for type II collagen protein. Increased
production of glycosaminoglycan shows that the PDPCs in atelocollagen could differentiate into chondrocytes under a chondrogenic
environment. PDPCs can therefore be used as a cell source for cell-based therapies targeted toward the articular cartilage
of the knee. 相似文献

Periosteum-derived progenitor cells (PDPCs) were isolated by characteristic surface markers. Reproducibility of immunophenotypes of the PDPCs was characterized by flow cytometric analysis using fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS). SH2+, SH3+, SH4+, CD9+, CD90+ and CD105+ were important eternal characteristic cell surface markers for the PDPCs. The characterized PDPCs maintained their chondrogenic potential in pellet cultures until the 15th passage from primary cell culture. 相似文献

Islet-like cell clusters (ILCCs) were derived from murine embryonic stem cells using a slightly modified version of the protocol originally described by Lumelsky et al. in 2001. Analysis with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) that distinguish human from murine insulin demonstrated that insulin released from these ILCCs, upon initial in vitro glucose challenge, was of non-murine origin and in fact corresponded to the species of insulin, human or bovine, that had been added to the culture media used to derive ILCCs. This finding convincingly supports the hypothesis that ILCCs are not synthesizing insulin de novo, but rather simply regurgitating insulin taken up during tissue culture. In further experiments, ILCCs were derived in media in which insulin had been replaced by IGF-I with which it shares a common signaling pathway. These ILCCs failed to release any detectable insulin. In contrast, ILCCs produced by various protocols stained positive (dithizone and immunoselective antibodies) for intracellular insulin and, in some cases, C-peptide. Despite the presence of at least some level of de novo, synthesized insulin in ILCCs, the majority of insulin released by ILCCs was sequestered from the exogenous medium. 相似文献

Increasing evidence suggests that islet cell transplantation for patients with type I diabetes holds great promise for achieving insulin independence. However, the extreme shortage of matched organ donors and the necessity for chronic immunosuppression has made it impossible for this treatment to be used for the general diabetic population. Recent success in generating insulin-secreting islet-like cells from human embryonic stem (ES) cells, in combination with the success in deriving human ES cell-like induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from human fibroblasts by defined factors, have raised the possibility that patient-specific insulin-secreting islet-like cells might be derived from somatic cells through cell fate reprogramming using defined factors. Here we confirm that human ES-like iPS cells can be derived from human skin cells by retroviral expression of OCT4, SOX2, c-MYC, and KLF4. Importantly, using a serum-free protocol, we successfully generated insulin-producing islet-like clusters (ILCs) from the iPS cells under feeder-free conditions. We demonstrate that, like human ES cells, skin fibroblast-derived iPS cells have the potential to be differentiated into islet-like clusters through definitive and pancreatic endoderm. The iPS-derived ILCs not only contain C-peptide-positive and glucagon-positive cells but also release C-peptide upon glucose stimulation. Thus, our study provides evidence that insulin-secreting ILCs can be generated from skin fibroblasts, raising the possibility that patient-specific iPS cells could potentially provide a treatment for diabetes in the future. 相似文献

Background aimsThe success of islet transplantation for diabetes depends on the availability of an adequate number of allogeneic or autologous islets. Postnatal stem cells are now considered for the generation of physiologically competent, insulin-producing cells. Our group showed earlier that it is possible to generate functional islets from human dental pulp stem cells by using a serum-free cocktail in a three-step protocol.MethodsWe compared the yield of generated islet-like cell clusters (ICCs) from stem cells from pulps of human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) and dental pulp stem cells from permanent teeth (DPSCs). ICCs derived from SHED were packed in immuno-isolatory biocompatible macro-capsules and transplanted into streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Non-diabetic and diabetic controls were transplanted with macro-capsules with or without islets.ResultsSHED were superior to DPSCs. STZ diabetic mice alone and mice transplanted with empty macro-capsules exhibited hyperglycemia throughout the experiment, whereas mice transplanted with macro-capsules containing ICCs were restored to normoglycemia within 3–4 weeks, which persisted for >60 days.ConclusionsOur results demonstrate for the first time that ICCs derived from SHED reverse STZ diabetes in mice without immunosuppression and offer an autologous and non-controversial source of human tissue that could be used for stem cell therapy in diabetes. 相似文献

The mesengenic multipotency of cryopreserved periosteum-derived progenitor cells (PDPCs) for chondrogenesis, osteogenesis
and adipogenesis was investigated. Differentiation was verified using RT-PCR and histological analysis. For characterization,
FACS analysis was performed with specific surface markers of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Among PDPCs, unsorted periosteum-derived
cells (PDCs) and dermal fibroblasts, the most distinct characteristics were found to be CD9, CD105, and CD166. In addition,
these markers in PDPCs were continuously maintained until passage 15. We developed a rapid method for the isolation of PDPCs
that can differentiate into mesodermal lineages and provide enough cells in a short period of time for allogeneic cell therapy.

Although stem cells are present in various adult tissues and body fluids, bone marrow has been the most popular source of stem cells for treatment of a wide range of diseases. Recent results for stem cells from adipose tissue have put it in a position to compete for being the leading therapeutic source. The major advantage of these stem cells over their counterparts is their amazing proliferative and differentiation potency. However, their pancreatic lineage transdifferentiation competence was not compared to that for bone marrow-derived stem cells. This study aims to identify an efficient source for transdifferentiation into pancreatic islet-like clusters, which would increase potential application in curative diabetic therapy. The results reveal that mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) derived from bone marrow and subcutaneous adipose tissue can differentiate into pancreatic islet-like clusters, as evidenced by their islet-like morphology, positive dithizone staining and expression of genes such as Nestin, PDX1, Isl 1, Ngn 3, Pax 4 and Insulin. The pancreatic lineage differentiation was further corroborated by positive results in the glucose challenge assay. However, the results indicate that bone marrow-derived MSCs are superior to those from subcutaneous adipose tissue in terms of differentiation into pancreatic islet-like clusters. In conclusion, bone marrow-derived MSC might serve as a better alternative in the treatment of diabetes mellitus than those from adipose tissue. 相似文献

Background
We have previously obtained a clonal population of cells from human foreskin that is able to differentiate into mesodermal, ectodermal and endodermal progenies. It is of great interest to know whether these cells could be further differentiated into functional insulin-producing cells. 相似文献11.

Periosteum-derived progenitor cells (PDPCs) were isolated using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter and their chondrogenic
potential in biomaterials was investigated for the treatment of defective articular cartilage as a cell therapy. The chondrogenesis
of PDPCs was conducted in a thermoreversible gelation polymer (TGP), which is a block copolymer composed of temperature-responsive
polymer blocks such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and of hydrophilic polymer blocks such as polyethylene oxide, and a defined medium that contained transforming
growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3). The PDPCs exhibited chondrogenic potential when cultured in TGP. As the PDPCs-TGP is an acceptable
biocompatible complex appropriate for injection into humans, this product might be readily applied to minimize invasion in
a defected knee. 相似文献

Clustered DNA damages-multiple oxidized bases, abasic sites, or strand breaks within a few helical turns-are potentially mutagenic and lethal alterations induced by ionizing radiation. Endogenous clusters are found at low frequencies in unirradiated normal human cells and tissues. Radiation-sensitive hematopoietic cells with low glycosylase levels (TK6 and WI-L2-NS) accumulate oxidized base clusters but not abasic clusters, indicating that cellular repair genotype affects endogenous cluster levels. We asked whether other factors, i.e., in the cellular microenvironment, affect endogenous cluster levels and composition in hematopoietic cells. TK6 and WI-L2-NS cells were grown in standard medium (RPMI 1640) alone or supplemented with folate and/or selenium; oxidized base cluster levels were highest in RPMI 1640 and reduced in selenium-supplemented medium. Abasic clusters were low under all conditions. In primary hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from four non-tobacco-using donors, cluster levels were low. However, in cells from tobacco users, we observed high oxidized base clusters and also abasic clusters, previously observed only in irradiated cells. Protein levels and activity of the abasic endonuclease Ape1 were similar in the tobacco users and nonusers. These data suggest that in highly damaging environments, even normal DNA repair capacity can be overwhelmed, leaving highly repair-resistant clustered damages. 相似文献

There is increasing evidence that breast and other cancers originate from and are maintained by a small fraction of stem/progenitor cells with self-renewal properties. Recent molecular profiling has identified six major subtypes of breast cancer: basal-like, ErbB2-overexpressing, normal breast epithelial-like, luminal A and B, and claudin-low subtypes. To help understand the relationship among mammary stem/progenitor cells and breast cancer subtypes, we have recently derived distinct hTERT-immortalized human mammary stem/progenitor cell lines: a K5(+)/K19(-) type, and a K5(+)/K19(+) type. Under specific culture conditions, bipotent K5(+)/K19(-) stem/progenitor cells differentiated into stable clonal populations that were K5(-)/K19(-) and exhibit self-renewal and unipotent myoepithelial differentiation potential in contrast to the parental K5(+)/K19(-) cells which are bipotent. These K5(-)/K19(-) cells function as myoepithelial progenitor cells and constitutively express markers of an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and show high invasive and migratory abilities. In addition, these cells express a microarray signature of claudin-low breast cancers. The EMT characteristics of an un-transformed unipotent mammary myoepithelial progenitor cells together with claudin-low signature suggests that the claudin-low breast cancer subtype may arise from myoepithelial lineage committed progenitors. Availability of immortal MPCs should allow a more definitive analysis of their potential to give rise to claudin-low breast cancer subtype and facilitate biological and molecular/biochemical studies of this disease. 相似文献

Characterization of human islet-like structures generated from pancreatic precursor cells in culture 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

This study addresses the characterization of human islet-like structures generated from a newly discovered sparse population of precursor cells (Petropavlovskaia and Rosenberg, 2002) in the human pancreas. These cells may be progenitor cells capable of producing pancreatic cells suitable for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. The cells were cultured successfully in non-adherent stationary cultures and yielded, as an important first step, a 1.9-fold expansion in a serum-free medium developed specifically for this cell type. This expanded population grew as pancreatic cell aggregates, which were analyzed for islet-like characteristics. Specifically, through RT-PCR analyses and functionality assays, we show that cells within the population expressed all four of the endocrine hormone genes and proteins (insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide). As well, the expanded pancreatic precursor cell population exhibited glucose responsiveness although the produced cells appeared to be still primitive in nature. 相似文献

BackgroundSuccess in islet-transplantation-based therapies for type 1 diabetes, coupled with a worldwide shortage of transplant-ready islets, has motivated efforts to develop renewable sources of islet-replacement tissue. Islets and neurons share features, including common developmental programs, and in some species brain neurons are the principal source of systemic insulin.Methods and FindingsHere we show that brain-derived human neural progenitor cells, exposed to a series of signals that regulate in vivo pancreatic islet development, form clusters of glucose-responsive insulin-producing cells (IPCs). During in vitro differentiation of neural progenitor cells with this novel method, genes encoding essential known in vivo regulators of pancreatic islet development were expressed. Following transplantation into immunocompromised mice, IPCs released insulin C-peptide upon glucose challenge, remained differentiated, and did not form detectable tumors.ConclusionProduction of IPCs solely through extracellular factor modulation in the absence of genetic manipulations may promote strategies to derive transplantable islet-replacement tissues from human neural progenitor cells and other types of multipotent human stem cells. 相似文献

This study aimed to investigate the significance of cytokine expression in supernatant from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSCs/HPCs) co-cultured with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). Mononuclear cells (MNCs) were isolated from normal human umbilical cord blood and then cultured solely or co-cultured with MSCs or EPCs. Changes in the number of MNCs and HSCs/HPCs were observed, and MNC proliferation was tested by carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester. The cultured supernatants of the treated MSCs and EPCs were collected at 24 h after co-culture and used to determine the concentrations of IL-3, IL-6, stem cell factor (SCF), TPO, Flt3l, and VEGF. The total number and proliferation of MNCs increased significantly when co-cultured with MSCs or EPCs than when cultured alone, particularly when MNCs were co-cultured with EPCs. The differences in IL-3 and Flt3l concentrations between groups were not significant. However, IL-6 in the MSC group was significantly higher than that in the two other groups. The SCF and TPO concentrations were highly expressed in the EPC group. The VEGF concentrations in the MSC group and the EPC group were higher than those in the control group. These results indicated that MSCs and EPCs possibly favor the proliferation of MNCs and HSCs/HPCs. IL-6 and VEGF may be related to hematopoietic reconstitution and homing ability of HSCs/HPCs. TPO may have a specific relationship with the promotion of HSCs/HPCs differentiation. 相似文献

We have developed a simplified approach for the isolation of metaphase chromosomes from HeLa cells. In this method, all the chromosomes from a cell remain together in a bundle which we call a metaphase chromosome cluster. Cells are arrested to 90–95% in metaphase, collected by centrifugation, extracted with non-ionic detergent in a low ionic strength buffer at neutral pH, and homogenised to strip away the cytoskeleton. The chromosome clusters which are released can then be isolated in a crude state by pelleting or they can be purified away from nearly all the interphase nuclei and cytoplasmic debris by banding in a PercollTM density gradient. — This procedure has the advantages that it is quick and easy, metaphase chromatin is recovered in high yield, and Ca++ is not needed to stabilise the chromosomes. Although the method does not yield individual chromosomes, it is nevertheless very useful for both structural and biochemical studies of mitotic chromatin. The chromosome clusters also make possible biochemical and structural studies of what holds the different chromosomes together. Such information could be useful in improving chromosome isolation procedures and for understanding suprachromosomal organisation of the nucleus. 相似文献
