Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) disease models have been generated for a number of diseases, and some have shown their potential utilization for pathological and drug toxicological evaluations. We have generated two hiPSC clones from a non-familial Alzheimerâs patient (AD-iPSCs), which expressed typical undifferentiated markers and fulfilled standard pluripotency assays. Genome-wide microarray analysis revealed that AD-iPSCs are highly similar to control hiPSCs and hESCs, albeit with some noticeable differences in several genes: DNAJC15, GRPR, NAIP and SNORD116-18. Several other biomarkers were differentially expressed in AD-iPSC clones, which were implicated in memory impairment and AD. Furthermore, well characterized familial AD-associated genes (APP, PSEN1, PSEN2) and non-familial (A2M, APOE, GAP43, MAOA, MPO, PLAT, PLAU, SORL1, SNCA) exhibited different expression patterns but were largely reset upon reprogramming into a pluripotent state. Overall, hiPSCs can be good candidates for AD modeling and may represent an in vitro alternative to studying disease mechanisms and drug discovery/toxicology studies. Fibroblasts and two hiPSC clones from a non-familial Alzheimerâs patient (AD-iPSCs) were analyzed. For each cell sample, 2-3 biological replicates were obtained.

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been generated from various somatic cells under feeder-layer conditions. These feeder-derived iPSCs generated in different labs exhibit greater variability than between different traditional embryo derived hESC lines. For that reason, it is important to develop a standard and defined system for deriving autologous patient stem cells. We have generated iPSCs under feeder-free conditions using Matrigel coated vessels in chemically defined medium, mTeSR1. These feeder-free derived iPSCs are in many ways similar to feeder-derived iPSCs and also to hESCs, with respect to their pluripotent gene expression (OCT4, NANOG, SOX2), protein expression (OCT4, NANOG, SSEA4, TRA160) and differentiation capabilities. We conducted a whole genomic transcript analysis using Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays to elucidate the important differences between traditional feeder-derived iPSCs and feeder-free derived iPSCs. We reveal that feeder-free iPSCs have over-represented terms belonging to DNA replication and cell cycle genes which are lacking in feeder-derived iPSCs. Feeder-free iPSCs are in many aspects more similar to hESCs including; apoptosis, chromatin modification enzymes and mitochondrial energy metabolism. We have also identified potential biomarkers for fully reprogrammed iPSCs (FRZB) and partially reprogrammed iPSCs (POTEG, MX2) based on their expression trends across all cell types. In conclusion, feeder-free derived iPSCs is transcriptomically more similar to hESCs than feeder derived iPSCs, in many biological functions. For each cell sample, 2 or 3 biological replicates were obtained.

Project description:Cell cycle sensing of oxidative stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by oxidation of a specific cysteine residue in the transcription factor Swi6p. Yeast cells begin to bud and enter S phase when growth conditions are favourable during G1 phase. When subjected to oxidative stress, cells arrest at G1 delaying entry into the cell cycle allowing repair of cellular damage. Hence, oxidative stress sensing is coordinated with the regulation of cell cycle. We identified a redox sensing cysteine residue in the cell-cycle regulator of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Swi6p, at position 404. Mutation of Cys404 to alanine abolished the ability of the cells to arrest at G1 upon treatment by lipid hydroperoxide. By constructing a truncated form of Swi6p, the Cys404 residue was found to be oxidised when cells were subjected to the oxidant. Furthermore, microarray analysis revealed that mutation of Cys404 to alanine led to loss of suppression of G1-cyclins CLN1 and PCL1 when the cells were exposed to lipid hydroperoxide. In conclusion, oxidation of Cys404 serves as a molecular sensor of oxidative stress and inhibits entry into the cell cycle by suppression of G1-cyclin expression. We used a gene expression approach to assess the involvement of Cys404 in oxidative stress by mutating this residue to alanine in order to study whether it contributes to Swi6p, a transcriptional factor, function for redox regulation of the cell cycle. Wild type, swi6-deletant, and swi6 C404A-mutated yeast cells were treated with either linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LoaOOH) or control. Three replicates per group/treatment.

Project description:Development of systems allowing the maintenance of native properties of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) is a critical challenge for studying physiological functions of skeletal progenitors, as well as towards cellular therapy and regenerative medicine applications. Conventional stem cell culture in monolayer on plastic dishes (2D) is associated with progressive loss of functionality, likely due to the absence of a biomimetic microenvironment and the selection of adherent populations. Here we demonstrate that 2D MSC expansion can be entirely bypassed by culturing freshly isolated bone marrow cells within the pores of 3D scaffolds in a perfusion-based bioreactor system, followed by enzymatic digestion for cell retrieval. The 3D-perfusion system supported MSC growth while maintaining cells of the hematopoietic lineage, and thus generated a cellular environment mimicking some features of the bone marrow stroma. As compared to 2D-expansion, sorted CD45- cells derived from 3D-perfusion culture after the same time (3 weeks) or a similar extent of proliferation (7-8 doublings) maintained a 4.3-fold higher clonogenicity and exhibited a superior differentiation capacity towards all typical mesenchymal lineages, with similar immunomodulatory function in vitro. Transcriptomic analysis performed on MSC from 5 donors validated the robustness of the process and indicated a reduced inter-donor variability as well as a significant upregulation of multipotency-related gene clusters following 3D-perfusion as compared to 2D expansion. The described system offers a model to study how factors of a 3D engineered niche may regulate MSC function and, by streamlining conventional labor-intensive processes, is prone to automation and scalability within closed bioreactor systems. Nucleated cells were isolated from 5 fresh human bone marrow aspirates by means of red blood cells lyses buffer and then were seeded into a 3D perfusion bioreactor system using a pure hydroxyapatite 3D scaffold and in conventional Petri dishes (2D). After culture for 19 days, cells from both systems were enzymatically retrieved and sorted using anti-CD45-coated magnetic beads. Total RNA was extracted from CD45- cells, QCed and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Tumor microenvironment plays an important role in regulating cell growth and metastasis. Recently we developed an ex vivo lung cancer model (4D) that forms perfusable tumor nodules on a lung matrix that mimics human lung cancer histopathology and protease secretion pattern. We compared the gene expression profile (Human OneArray v5 chip) of A549 cells, a human lung cancer cell line, grown on petri dish (2D), and of the same cells grown in the matrix of our ex vivo model (4D). Furthermore, we obtained gene expression data of A549 cells grown on petri dish (2D) and matrigel (3D) from a previous study and compared the 3D expression profile with that of 4D. Expression array analysis showed 2954 genes differentially expressed between 2D and 4D. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis showed up-regulation of several genes associated with extracellular matrix, polarity, and cell fate and development. Moreover, expression array analysis of 2D versus 3D showed 269 genes that were most differentially expressed, with only 35 genes (13%) having similar expression patterns as observed between 2D and 4D. Finally, the differential gene expression signature of 4D cells (versus 2D) correlated significantly with poor survival in patients with lung cancer (n=1492), while the expression signature of 3D versus 2D correlated with better survival in lung cancer patients. Since patients with larger tumors tend to have worse survival, the ex vivo 4D model may offer additional features over the 3D model, to better mimic of natural progression of tumor growth in lung cancer patients. We compared the gene expression profile (Human OneArray v5 chip) of A549 cells, human lung cancer cell line, grown on petri dish (2D) and same cells grown in the matrix of our ex vivo model (4D).

Project description:Analysis of 2D (transwell) and 3D (collagen type I) cultured MDCK cells and HGF (a MAPK activator). Traditional 2D cultures are fast and inexpensive but do no mimic natural niche/cell environment as well as the more laborious and costly 3D-cultures. 3D cultures, arguably, are better models for the study of developmental processes, such as tubulogenesis. Epithelial organs (such as kidney) develop via tubulogenesis, a process, at least in part, regulated by MAPK signaling. Therefore, 2D and 3D cells also treated with HGF plus MAPK inhibitors. Results provide insights into differential response to HGF-induced tubulogenesis depending on cell culture conditions (2D vs. 3D). 29 samples total: 2D and 3D control (untreated) in quadruplicate, respectively; 2D and 3D + HGF in quadruplicate, respectively; 2D + HGF + PD-98059 in quadruplicate; 3D + HGF + PD-98059 in triplicate; 2D + HGF + U0126 in triplicate; and 3D + HGF + U0126 in triplicate.
