Project description:Here, control human pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and SOX10 knockout (SOX10 KO) hiPSCs were induced to differentiate to neural crest stem cells (NCSCs). We sequenced mRNA samples of differentiated cells at day 7 during NCSC differentiation to generate the gene expression profiles of these cells.

Project description:Pericytes(PCs) are mural cells embedded in the capillary basal lamina. Some PC populations exhibit multipotency, similar to mesenchymal stem cells. Here, the the process of adaptation was investigated by determining changes in transcript profiles when NG2 positive PCs were deleted. PC-deletion was induced by using NG2CreER(+/-)/diphtheria toxin flagment A(DTA) transgenic mice. Cre recombinase was induced by tamoxifen(Tam) treatment(intraperitoneally, 100mg/kg body weight per day) for 5days. Samples were collected at 1month after Tam treatment.

Project description:The generation of neuronal cells from stem cells obtained from adult bone marrow is of significant clinical interest in order to design new cell therapy protocols for several neurological disorders. The recent identification in adult bone marrow of stem cells derived from the neural crests (NCSCs) might explain the neuronal phenotypic plasticity shown by bone marrow cells. However, little information is available about the nature of these cells compared to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), their similarities and differences. In this paper, using transcriptomic as well as proteomic technologies, we have compared NCSC to MSC and stromal nestin-positive cells, all of them isolated from adult bone marrow. We demonstrated that the nestin-positive cell population, which was the first to be described as able to differentiate into functional neurons, was a mixed population of NCSC and MSC. More interestingly, we demonstrated that MSC share with NCSC the same ability to truly differentiate into Tuj1-positive cells when co-cultivated with paraformaldehyde-fixed cerebellar granule neurons. Altogether, those results suggest that both NCSCs and MSCs can be considered as important tools for cellular therapies in order to replace neurons in various neurological diseases. Two sets of samples (NCSC and MSC), three biological replicates. This submission represents the gene expression component of the study.

Project description:Pericytes (PCs) are a subset of perivascular cells that can give rise to mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) when culture-expanded, and are postulated to give rise to MSC-like cells during tissue repair in vivo. PCs have been suggested to behave as stem cells (SCs) in situ in animal models, although evidence for this role in humans is lacking. Here, we analyzed the transcriptomes of highly purified, non-cultured adipose tissue (AT)-derived PCs (ATPCs) to detect gene expression changes that occur as they acquire MSC characteristics in vitro, and evaluated the hypothesis that human ATPCs exhibit a gene expression profile compatible with an AT SC phenotype. The results showed ATPCs are non-proliferative and express genes characteristic not only of PCs (e.g., PDGFRB, NGFR, CSPG4, ACTA2, ALPL, NESTIN, LEPR, CXCL12, SEPT4, and GLI1), but also of AT stem/progenitor cells previously described in mice (BHLHE22, ZNF423, CYP7B1, FABP4, PPARG, and CD34). Additional analyses defined a gene expression signature for AT PCs, and revealed putative novel AT PC markers (e.g., APOD, ARC, SPARCL1, OMD, IGF1, EDNRB, and TNMD). Various transcripts, including NGFR, LEPR, and almost all AT stem/progenitor cell genes differentially expressed by ATPCs were not expressed by ATMSCs or culture-expanded PCs. Genes expressed by ATMSCs but not by ATPCs (e.g., CDH2, SSTR1, and FGF1) were also identified. These findings strengthen the hypothesis that PCs are SCs in vascularized tissues, highlight gene expression changes they undergo as they assume an MSC phenotype, and provide new insights into PC biology.

Project description:Pericytes (PCs) are multipotent contractile cells that wrap around the endothelial cells to maintain the blood vessel's functionality and integrity. The hyperglycemia associated with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was shown to impair the function of PCs and increase the risk of diabetes complications. In this study, we aimed to investigate the deleterious effect of the diabetic microenvironment on the regenerative capacities of human PCs. PCs isolated from human adipose tissue were cultured in the presence or absence of serum collected from diabetic patients (DS). The functionality of PCs was analysed after 6, 14, and 30 days. Microscopic examination of PCs cultured in DS (DS-PCs) showed increased aggregate formation and altered surface topography with hyperbolic invaginations. Compared to PCs cultured in normal serum (NS-PCs), DS-PCs showed more fragmented mitochondria and thicker nuclear membrane. DS caused impaired angiogenic differentiation of PCs as confirmed by tube formation, decreased VEGF-A and IGF-1 gene expression, upregulated TSP1, PF4, actin related protein 2/3 complex and downregulated COL21A1 protein expression. These cells suffered higher apoptotis and showed higher expression of Clic4, apoptosis facilitator BCl-2-like protein serine/threonine protein phosphatase, and Caspase-7 proteins. DS-PCs showed dysregulated DNA repair genes CDKN1A, SIRT1, XRCC5 and TERF2 and up-regulation of the pro-inflammatory genes ICAM1, IL-6, and TNF-α. DS treated cells also showed disruption in the expression of the focal adhesion and binding proeins TSP1, TGF- β, fibronectin and PCDH7. DS-PCs showed resistance mechanisms upon exposure to diabetic microenvironment by maitining the intracellular ROS level and upregulation of ECM organizing proteins vinculin, IQGAP1, and tubulin beta chain.These data show that the diabetic microenvironment exert a deleterious effect on the regenerative capacities of human adipose tissue-derived PCs, and may thus have possible implications on the vascular complications of type-2 diabetes mellitus. Nevertheless, their protective mechanisms when initially exposed to DS could provide a promising cellular therapy for T2DM.

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are cultured cells that can give rise to mature mesenchymal cells under appropriate conditions, and secrete a number of biologically relevant molecules that may play an important role in regenerative medicine. Evidence indicates that pericytes (PCs) correspond to mesenchymal stem cells in vivo and can give rise to MSCs when cultured, but a comparison between the gene expression profiles of cultured PCs (cPCs) and MSCs is lacking. We have devised a novel methodology to isolate PCs from human adipose tissue, and compared cPCs to MSCs obtained through traditional methods. Freshly isolated PCs expressed CD34, CD140b, and CD271 on their surface, but not CD146. Both MSCs and cPCs were able to differentiate along mesenchymal pathways in vitro, displayed an essentially identical surface immunophenotype, and exhibited the ability to suppress CD3+ lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. Microarray expression data of cPCs and MSCs formed a single cluster among other cell types. Further analyses showed that the gene expression profiles of cPCs and MSCs are extremely similar, although MSCs differentially expressed endothelial cell-specific transcripts. These results confirm, using the power of transcriptomic analysis, that PCs give rise to MSCs, and suggest that low levels of endothelial cells may persist in MSC cultures established using traditional protocols. Highly purified human adipose-tissue pericytes (AT3G5Cs) were isolated based on the expression of the antigen detected by the 3G5 antibody, lack of expression of CD31, and ability to adhere to tissue-cultured plastic whithin a short time. The in vitro properties of cultured AT3G5Cs were compared to those of adipose tissue mesenchymal stromal cells (ATMSCs) obtained through traditional methods. Gene expression profiles of cultured AT3G5Cs (n = 3 different biological samples) and ATMSCs (n = 3 different biological samples) were compared to each other by statistical analyses. Gene expression profiles of cultured AT3G5Cs and ATMSCs were compared to those of other cell types by clustering analyses.
