Codon optimized membrane cofactor protein expression in ? 1, 3 galactosyltransferase knockout pig cells improve protection against cytotoxicity of monkey serum.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we attempted to upgrade GT -MCP/-MCP pig genetically to express MCP at a higher level and additionally thrombomodulin (TBM), which have respective roles as a complement regulatory protein and a coagulation inhibitor. We constructed a dicistronic cassette consisting of codon-optimized MCP (mMCP) and TBM (m-pI2), designed for ubiquitous expression of MCP and endothelium specific expression of TBM. The cassette was confirmed to allow extremely increased MCP expression compared with non-modified MCP, and an endothelial-specific TBM expression. We thus transfected m-pI2 into ear-skin fibroblasts isolated from a GT -MCP/-MCP pig. By twice selection using magnetically activated cell sorting (MACS), and single-cell culture, we were able to obtain clones over 90% expressing MCP. The cells of a clone were provided as a donor for nuclear transfer resulting in the generation of a GT -MCP/-MCP /mMCP/TBM pig, which was confirmed to be carrying cells expressing MCP and functioning as an inhibitor against the cytotoxic effect of normal monkey serum, comparable with donor cells. Collectively, these results demonstrated an effective approach for upgrading transgenic pig, and we assumed that upgraded pig would increase graft survival.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the pancreatic differentiation potential of ?-1,3-galactosyltransferase knockout (GalTKO) pig-derived bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) using epigenetic modifiers with different pancreatic induction media. METHODS:The BM-MSCs have been differentiated into pancreatic ?-like cells by inducing the overexpression of key transcription regulatory factors or by exposure to specific soluble inducers/small molecules. In this study, we evaluated the pancreatic differentiation of GalTKO pig-derived BM-MSCs using epigenetic modifiers, 5-azacytidine (5-Aza) and valproic acid (VPA), and two types of pancreatic induction media - advanced Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (ADMEM)-based and N2B27-based media. GalTKO BM-MSCs were treated with pancreatic induction media and the expression of pancreas-islets-specific markers was evaluated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence. Morphological changes and changes in the 5'-C-phosphate-G-3' (CpG) island methylation patterns were also evaluated. RESULTS:The expression of the pluripotent marker (POU class 5 homeobox 1 [OCT4]) was upregulated upon exposure to 5-Aza and/or VPA. GalTKO BM-MSCs showed increased expression of neurogenic differentiation 1 in the ADMEM-based (5-Aza) media, while the expression of NK6 homeobox 1 was elevated in cells induced with the N2B27-based (5-Aza) media. Moreover, the morphological transition and formation of islets-like cellular clusters were also prominent in the cells induced with the N2B27-based media with 5-Aza. The higher insulin expression revealed the augmented trans-differentiation ability of GalTKO BM-MSCs into pancreatic ?-like cells in the N2B27-based media than in the ADMEM-based media. CONCLUSION:5-Aza treated GalTKO BM-MSCs showed an enhanced demethylation pattern in the second CpG island of the OCT4 promoter region compared to that in the GalTKO BM-MSCs. The exposure of GalTKO pig-derived BM-MSCs to the N2B27-based microenvironment can significantly enhance their trans-differentiation ability into pancreatic ?-like cells.
