Project description:The recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector is one of the most utilized viral vectors in gene therapy due to its robust, long-term in vivo transgene expression and low toxicity. One major hurdle for clinical AAV applications is large-scale manufacturing. In this regard, the baculovirus-based AAV production system is highly attractive due to its scalability and predictable biosafety. Here, we describe a simple method to improve the baculovirus-based AAV production using the ExpiSf Baculovirus Expression System with a chemically defined medium for suspension culture of high-density ExpiSf9 cells. Baculovirus-infected ExpiSf9 cells produced up to 5 × 1011 genome copies of highly purified AAV vectors per 1 mL of suspension culture, which is up to a 19-fold higher yield than the titers we obtained from the conventional Sf9 cell-based system. When mice were administered the same dose of AAV vectors, we saw comparable transduction efficiency and biodistributions between the vectors made in ExpiSf9 and Sf9 cells. Thus, the ExpiSf Baculovirus Expression System would support facile and scalable AAV manufacturing amenable for preclinical and clinical applications.

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells can be manipulated ex-vivo to recapitulate the process of erythropoiesis, whereby multipotential haematopoietic stem cells undergo lineage specification, differentiation and maturation to produce functional erythroid cells. Although very useful for identifying specific progenitors and precursors, this cell system has not been fully exploited as a source of cells to analyse erythropoiesis, compared with primary erythroid cells or immortalised cell lines. Here we have established a protocol in which erythroid cells can be isolated in a scalable manner from differentiated embryoid bodies (EBs). Using transcriptional and epigenetic analysis, we show that all purified erythroid cells in this system are derived from the primitive haematopoietic lineage. Finally, we show that this system faithfully recapitulates normal erythropoiesis in the embryonic mouse and fully mimics the effects of natural and engineered mutations seen in full mouse models. Data deposited here comprises chromatin profiling of the EB derived CD71+ erythroid cells; chromatin accessibility (ATAC-Seq), characterisation of the open chromatin by associated histone modifications (ChIP-Seq), chromatin structure (CTCF ChIP-Seq and Capture C interaction data). WT CD71+ cells were compared to either mutant CD71+ cells or other erythroid tissues (mouse adult spleen, E13.5 fetal liver, early embryonic circulating blood) representing both definitve and primitive erythroid lineages.

Project description:RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription has been proposed to occur at transcription factories; nuclear focal accumulations of the active, phosphorylated forms of RNAPII. The low ratio of transcription factories to active genes and transcription units suggests that genes must share factories. Our previous analyses using light microscopy have indicated that multiple genes could share the same factory. Furthermore, we found that a small number of specialized transcription factories containing high levels of the erythroid-specific transcription factor KLF1 preferentially transcribed a network of KLF1-regulated genes. Here we used correlative light microscopy in combination with energy filtering transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) and electron microscopy in situ hybridization (EMISH) to analyse transcription factories, transcribing genes, and their nuclear environments at the ultrastructural level in ex vivo mouse foetal liver erythroblasts. We show that transcription factories in this tissue can be recognized as large nitrogen-rich structures with a mean diameter of 130 nm, which is considerably larger than that previously seen in transformed cultured cell lines. We show that KLF1-specialized factories are significantly larger, with the majority of measured factories occupying the upper 25th percentile of this distribution with an average diameter of 174 nm. In addition, we show that very highly transcribed genes associated with erythroid differentiation tend to occupy and share the largest factories with an average diameter of 198 nm. Our results suggest that individual factories are dynamically organized and able to respond to the increased transcriptional load imposed by multiple highly transcribed genes by significantly increasing in size.

Project description:For the production and bio-banking of differentiated derivatives from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in large quantities for drug screening and cellular therapies, well-defined and robust procedures for differentiation and cryopreservation are required. Definitive endoderm (DE) gives rise to respiratory and digestive epithelium, as well as thyroid, thymus, liver, and pancreas. Here, we present a scalable, universal process for the generation of DE from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Optimal control during the differentiation process was attained in chemically-defined and xeno-free suspension culture, and high flexibility of the workflow was achieved by the introduction of an efficient cryopreservation step at the end of DE differentiation. DE aggregates were capable of differentiating into hepatic-like, pancreatic, intestinal, and lung progenitor cells. Scale-up of the differentiation process using stirred-tank bioreactors enabled production of large quantities of DE aggregates. This process provides a useful advance for versatile applications of DE lineages, in particular for cell therapies and drug screening.

Project description:Papillomavirus capsids can package a wide variety of nonviral DNA plasmids and deliver the packaged genetic material to cells, making them attractive candidates for targeted gene delivery vehicles. However, the papillomavirus vectors generated by current methods are unlikely to be suitable for clinical applications. We have developed a chemically defined, cell-free, papillomavirus-based vector production system that allows the incorporation of purified plasmid DNA (pseudogenome) into high-titer papillomavirus L1/L2 capsids. We investigated the incorporation of several DNA forms into a variety of different papillomavirus types, including human and animal types. Our results show that papillomavirus capsids can package and transduce linear or circular DNA under defined conditions. Packaging and transduction efficiencies were surprisingly variable across capsid types, DNA forms, and assembly reaction conditions. The pseudoviruses produced by these methods are sensitive to the same entry inhibitors as cell-derived pseudovirions, including neutralizing antibodies and heparin. The papillomavirus vector production systems developed in this study generated as high as 1011 infectious units/mg of L1. The pseudoviruses were infectious both in vitro and in vivo and should be compatible with good manufacturing practice (GMP) requirements.

Project description:Plasmodium vivax is the most widely distributed human malaria parasite. Despite its importance, both clinical research and basic research have been hampered by lack of a convenient in vitro culture system, in part due to the parasite's infection preference of reticulocytes rather than mature erythrocytes. The use of reticulocyte-producing hematopoietic stem cell culture has been proposed for the maintenance of the parasite, but good numbers of reticulocytes and P. vivax parasites sufficient for practical use in research have been difficult to produce from this system. Here, we report an improved method of hematopoietic stem cell culture for P. vivax infection, which requires less time and produces higher or equivalent percentage of reticulocytes than previously reported systems. Reticulocytes were cultured from cryopreserved erythroblasts that were frozen after 8day-cultivation of purified CD34+ cells from human umbilical cord blood. This method of production allowed the recovery of reticulocytes in a shorter time than with continuous stem cell culture. We obtained a relatively high percentage of peak reticulocyte production by using co-cultivation with a mouse stromal cell line. Using P. vivax mature stage parasites obtained from infected Aotus monkeys, we observed substantial numbers (up to 0.8% of the total number of the cells) of newly invaded reticulocytes 24h after initial cultivation. The addition of fresh reticulocytes after 48h culture, however, did not result in significant increase of second cycle reticulocyte invasion. Assays of invasion inhibition with specific antibodies were successful with this system, demonstrating potential for study of biological processes as well as the conditions necessary for long-term maintenance of P. vivax in vitro.

Project description:We previously reported the successful induction and completion of mouse spermatogenesis by culturing neonatal testis tissues. The culture medium consisted of ?-minimum essential medium (?-MEM), supplemented with Knockout serum replacement (KSR) or AlbuMAX, neither of which were defined chemically. In this study, we formulated a chemically defined medium (CDM) that can induce mouse spermatogenesis under organ culture conditions. It was found that bovine serum albumin (BSA) purified through three different procedures had different effects on spermatogenesis. We also confirmed that retinoic acid (RA) played crucial roles in the onset of spermatogonial differentiation and meiotic initiation. The added lipids exhibited weak promoting effects on spermatogenesis. Lastly, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), triiodothyronine (T3), and testosterone (T) combined together promoted spermatogenesis until round spermatid production. The CDM, however, was not able to produce elongated spermatids. It was also unable to induce spermatogenesis from the very early neonatal period, before 2 days postpartum, leaving certain factors necessary for spermatogenic induction in mice unidentified. Nonetheless, the present study provided important basic information on testis organ culture and spermatogenesis in vitro.
