Bid is a positive regulator for donor-derived lymphoid cell regeneration in ?-irradiated recipients.

ABSTRACT: Hematopoietic regeneration is regulated by cell survival proteins, such as the Bcl-2 family. Bid, a BH3-only protein of the Bcl-2 family, has multiple cellular functions and is involved in a variety of physiological or pathological conditions. We attempted to define its role in hematopoietic cell repopulation under the stress condition of bone marrow transplantation.We performed conventional or competitive bone marrow transplantation with donor hematopoietic cells from Bid(-/-) or Bid(+/+) mice. Flow cytometry was used for quantification of hematopoietic stem cells, hematopoietic progenitor cells, and differentiated cells in different lineages (T, B, and myeloid cells). Single cell culture and homing assays were performed to further evaluate hematopoietic stem cell functions. Hematopoietic progenitor cells were also measured by the colony-forming cell culture.Contrary to the widely recognized role of Bid as a pro-apoptotic protein, the absence of Bid significantly reduced the reconstitution of donor hematopoietic cells in ?-irradiated recipients. Interestingly, however, numbers of hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells and their functions were not overtly altered. Instead, the regeneration of donor T and B cells was significantly impaired in the absence of Bid. Further analysis indicated an accumulation of the triple-negative T-cell population in the thymus, and pro-B cells in the bone marrow.Our current study demonstrates a positive impact of Bid on hematopoietic regeneration mainly due to its unique effects on donor lymphopoiesis in the transplant recipients.

Project description:BackgroundSkin squamous-cell-carcinoma (SCC), is the main complication in long-term kidney-transplant recipients, and it can include donor-derived cells. Preclinical models demonstrated the involvement of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) in the progression of skin SCC, and the role of Snail, an EMT transcription factor, in cancer stem-cell survival and expansion.Here, we studied stem-cells and EMT expression in SCCs and concomitant actinic keratoses (AK) in kidney-transplant recipients.MethodsIn SCC and AK in 3 female recipients of male kidney-transplants, donor-derived Y chromosome in epidermal stem cells was assessed using combined XY-FISH/CD133 immunostaining, and digital-droplet-PCR on laser-microdissected CD133 expressing epidermal cells.For EMT study, double immunostainings of CD133 with vimentin or snail and slug, electron microscopy and immunostainings of keratinocytes junctions were performed. Digital droplet PCR was used to check CDH1 (E-cadherin) expression level in laser-microdissected cells co-expressing CD133 and vimentin or snail and slug.The numbers of Y-chromosome were assessed using digital droplet PCR in laser-microdissected cells co-expressing CD133 and vimentin, or snail and slug, and in CD133 positive cells not expressing any EMT maker.ResultsWe identified donor-derived stem-cells in basal layers and invasive areas in all skin SCCs and in concomitant AKs, but not in surrounding normal skin.The donor-derived stem-cells expressed the EMT markers, vimentin, snail and slug in SCCs but not in AKs. The expression of the EMT transcription factor, SNAI1, was higher in stem-cells when they expressed vimentin. They were located in invasive areas of SCCs. In these areas, the expressions of claudin-1 and desmoglein 1 were reduced or absent, and within the basal layer there were features of basal membrane disappearance.Donor-derived stem cells were in larger numbers in stem cells co-expressing vimentin or snail and slug than in stem cells not expressing any EMT marker.ConclusionsWe identified here donor-derived stem cells within skin SCC in kidney-transplant recipients. They were located in invasive areas of SCC and had EMT characteristics.

Project description:Mandibular osteoradionecrosis is a severe side effect of radiotherapy after the treatment of squamous cell carcinomas of the upper aerodigestive tract. As an alternative to its treatment by micro-anastomosed free-flaps, preclinical tissular engineering studies have been developed. Total bone marrow (TBM) associated with biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) significantly enhanced bone formation in irradiated bone. One mechanism, explaining how bone marrow cells can help regenerate tissues like this, is the paracrine effect. The bone marrow cell extract (BMCE) makes use of this paracrine mechanism by keeping only the soluble factors such as growth factors and cytokines. It has provided significant results in repairing various tissues, but has not yet been studied in irradiated bone reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of BMCE via an intraosseous or intravenous delivery, with a calcium phosphate scaffold, in irradiated bone reconstruction. Twenty rats were irradiated on their hind limbs with a single 80-Gy dose. Three weeks later, surgery was performed to create osseous defects. The intraosseous group (n = 12) studied the effect of BMCE in situ, with six combinations (empty defect, BCP, TBM, BCP-TBM, lysate only, BCP-lysate). After four different combinations of implantation (empty defect, BCP, TBM, BCP-TBM), the intravenous group (n = 8) received four intravenous injections of BMCE for 2 weeks. Five weeks after implantation, samples were explanted for histological and scanning electron microscopy analysis. Lysate immunogenicity was studied with various mixed lymphocyte reactions. Intravenous injections of BMCE led to a significant new bone formation compared to the intraosseous group. The BCP-TBM mixture remained the most effective in the intraosseous group. However, intravenous injections were more effective, with TBM placed in the defect, with or without biomaterials. Histologically, highly cellularized bone marrow was observed in the defects after intravenous injections, and not after an in situ use of the lysate. The mixed lymphocyte reactions did not show any proliferation after 3, 5, or 7 days of lysate incubation with lymphocytes from another species. This study evaluated the role of BMCE in irradiated bone reconstruction. There were significant results arguing in favor of BMCE intravenous injections. This could open new perspectives to irradiated bone reconstruction.

Project description:BackgroundHuman muscle-derived stem cells (hMDSCs) have been shown to regenerate bone efficiently when they were transduced with Lenti-viral bone morphogenetic protein 2 (LBMP2). However, whether the age of hMDSCs and the animal host affect the bone regeneration capacity of hMDSCs and mechanism are unknown which prompted the current study.MethodsWe isolated three gender-matched young and old populations of skeletal muscle stem cells, and tested the influence of cells' age on in vitro osteogenic differentiation using pellet culture before and after Lenti-BMP2/green fluorescent protein (GFP) transduction. We further investigated effects of the age of hMDSCs and animal host on hMDSC-mediated bone regeneration in a critical-size calvarial bone defect model in vivo. Micro-computer tomography (CT), histology, and immunohistochemistry were used to evaluate osteogenic differentiation and mineralization in vitro and bone regeneration in vivo. Western blot, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and oxidative stress assay were performed to detect the effects of age of hMDSCs on cell survival and osteogenic-related genes. Serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) were measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).ResultsWe found LBMP2/GFP transduction significantly enhanced osteogenic differentiation of hMDSCs in vitro, regardless of donor age. We also found old were as efficient as young LBMP2/GFP-transduced hMDSCs for regenerating functional bone in young and old mice. These findings correlated with lower phosphorylated p38MAPK expression and similar expression levels of cell survival genes and osteogenic-related genes in old hMDSCs relative to young hMDSCs. Old cells exhibited equivalent resistance to oxidative stress. However, both young and old donor cells regenerated less bone in old than young hosts. Impaired bone regeneration in older hosts was associated with high bone remodeling due to higher serum levels of RANKL and lower level of IGF-1.ConclusionhMDSC-mediated bone regeneration was not impaired by donor age when hMDSCs were transduced with LBMP2/GFP, but the age of the host adversely affected hMDSC-mediated bone regeneration. Regardless of donor and host age, hMDSCs formed functional bone, suggesting a promising cell resource for bone regeneration.
