Long-term culture of skin biopsies: Maintenance of fibroblast production and competency of reprogramming

ABSTRACT: Primary fibroblasts are a commonly used cell type used in a variety of experimental and therapeutic studies. Patient-derived skin biopsies are an accessible way to generate fibroblasts for use in various assays as well as reprogramming to iPSCs. To understand the potential of long-term skin biopsy culture, we cultured biopsy samples for 6 to 16 months and analyzed subsequent generation of fibroblasts. We found maintenance of morphology and physiology over time. Proliferation assays showed that older generations remained proliferative but at a decreased rate. mRNA analyses revealed transcriptional changes with long-term skin culture. Deep DNA sequencing did not reveal any large deletions or amplifications. Spontaneous DNA mutations seemed to be random and not enriched for any specific signaling pathways. Older fibroblasts generated after 16 months in culture retained competency for reprogramming into iPSCs. Our results support long term culture of skin to generate very large numbers of primary fibroblasts. These cells maintain their identity and integrity enabling the study of human disorders, particularly rare ones.

Long-term expansion and differentiation of adult murine epidermal stem cells in three-dimensional organoid cultures

Project description:Mammalian epidermal stem cells maintain homeostasis of skin epidermis and contribute to its regeneration throughout adult life. While two-dimensional mouse epidermal stem cell cultures have been established decades ago, a long-term, feeder cell- and serum-free culture system recapitulating murine epidermal architecture has not been available. Here we describe an epidermal organoid culture system that allows long-term, genetically stable expansion of adult epidermal stem cells. Our epidermal expansion media combines atypically high calcium concentrations, activation of cyclic AMP, FGF and R-spondin signaling with inhibition of BMP signaling. Organoids are established robustly from adult mouse skin and expand over at least 6 months, while maintaining the basal-apical organization of the mouse interfollicular epidermis. The system represents a powerful tool to study epidermal homeostasis and disease in vitro.

Gene expression profiles of fibroblasts and fibroblast-reprogrammed induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy patients and healthy controls

Project description:Although not an affected cell type, skin fibroblasts from individuals with CC-ALD, an early onset X-linked neurological disorder, show defects in very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) metabolism that provide the basis for clinical diagnostic tests. Skin fibroblasts from CC-ALD patients can be reprogrammed into iPS cells with all the hallmark properties of pluripotency. The iPS cell phenotypes may reflect the tissue-specificity of the lipid metabolic defects found in CC-ALD patients. We report the gene expression profiles of fibroblasts and fibroblast-reprogrammed iPSCs from childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy patients and healthy controls Dermal fibroblast cultures from 2 CCALD patients and 3 healthy controls were reprogrammed into iPSCs by transfection with retroviruses desinged to express the human OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC cDNA. Fibroblasts and iPSCs were cultured in 1:1 ratio of DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with 20% KSR at 37°C with 5% CO2 until confluence for RNA extraction. The overall goal was to identify genes that are differentially expressed between CCALD patients and healthy controls.

Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of 88 microRNAs involved in human cell differentiation and development in systemic sclerosis (SSc) dermal fibroblasts

Project description:Normal fibroblasts and SSc fibroblasts between the third and six subpassages were used for experiments. Total RNA was extracted from culture cells with ISOGEN (Nippon Gene, Tokyo, Japan). MicroRNA isolation from total RNA was performed using RT2 qPCR-Grade miRNA Isolation Kit (SA Bioscience). For RT2 Profiler PCR Array (SABioscience), microRNAs were reverse-transcribed into first strand cDNA using RT2 miRNA First Strand Kit (SABiosciences). A mixture of equal amounts of cDNAs from 5 normal fibroblasts or 5 SSc fibroblasts was prepared. The cDNA was mixed with RT2 SYBR Green/ROX qPCR Master Mix and the mixture was added into a 96-well RT2 miRNA PCR Array (SABiosciences) that included primer pairs for 88 human microRNAs. Human dermal fibroblasts were obtained by skin biopsy from the affected areas (dorsal forearm) of 5 patients with diffuse cutaneous SSc and <2 years of skin thickening. Control fibroblasts were obtained by skin biopsies from 5 healthy donors. Control donors were each matched with a SSc patient for age, sex, and biopsy site.

Gene expression profiles of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and skin fibroblasts from orangutans

Project description:Orangutans are an endangered species whose natural habitats are restricted to the Southeast Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra. For potential species conservation and functional genomics studies, we derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from cryopreserved skin fibroblasts obtained from captive orangutans. We report the gene expression profiles of iPSCs and skin fibroblasts derived from orangtuans. The overall goal was to evaluate gene expression biomarkers of pluripotency in iPSCs and skin fibroblasts derived from PBD-ZSD patients and healthy controls. Dermal fibroblast cultures from 2 orangutans were reprogrammed into iPSCs by transfection with retroviruses designed to express the human OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC cDNA. Fibroblasts and iPSCs were cultured in 1:1 ratio of DMEM:F12 medium supplemented with 20% KOSR (knock-out serum replacement) at 37°C with 5% CO2 until confluence for RNA extraction. The overall goal was to evaluate gene expression biomarkers of pluripotency in iPSCs and original fibroblast cultures.

Transcription profiling of human skeletal muscle transcript from trained or sedentary young and old subjects

Project description:Aging is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance. We conducted a study to determine the role of long-term vigorous endurance exercise on age-related changes in insulin sensitivity and various indices of mitochondrial functions. Experiment Overall Design: Skeletal muscle transcript profiling was done using Vastus Lateralis muscle biopsy samples from 10 young sedentary (YS), 10 older sedentary (OS), 10 young trained (YT) and 10 older trained (OT) men and women. Note that YT2, YS1, and OT1 didn't pass the Quality Control Step of dChip (high array/single outliers). Sedentary subjects exercised less than 30 min/day, twice per week. Trained subjects performed â¥ 1 hour cycling or running 6 days/week over the past 4 years.

Connective tissue regeneration dynamics persistently alter epithelial dynein DNAH10 expression - DNAH10 overexpression in psoriatic lesional epidermis

Project description:The objective of this study was to investigate how active dermal connective tissue composition dynamics affect long term protein expression in the epidermis. After surgically removing damaged skin to its full thickness at the site of a deep burn in ten patients, we randomized three adjacent test areas within the wounds to receive either: 1) no dermal component as control, 2) a permanent artificial dermal matrix or 3) a temporary dressing to induce formation of granulation tissue. Each area was then covered with an autologous superficial healty skin transplant as the epidermal indicator. One year later, biopsy samples were taken from each site. The epidermis and dermis were selectively microdissected by laser-capture from cut tissue biopsy sections, and analyzed using untargeted non-labelled quantitative proteomics.

Expression data from Werner syndrome iPSCs

Project description:Werner syndrome (WS) is a premature aging disorder characterized by chromosomal instability and cancer predisposition. Mutations in WRN are responsible for the disease and cause telomere dysfunction, resulting in accelerated aging. In the present study, we describe the effects of long-term culture on WS iPSCs, which acquired and maintained infinite proliferative potential for self-renewal over 2 years. After long-term cultures, WS iPSCs exhibited stable undifferentiated states and differentiation capacity, and premature upregulation of senescence-associated genes in WS cells was completely suppressed in WS iPSCs despite WRN deficiency. We used microarrays to examine whether global gene expression profile of WS iPSCs is similar to that of normal iPSCs and human ESCs, as well as premature senescence phenotype is suppressed by reprogramming.

Expression data from primary Glioblastoma in adults

Project description:Gene expression profiling revealed over-representation of a distinct (proneural-like) expression signature in long-term survivors that was linked to IDH1/2 mutation. However, among the IDH1/2-wildtype patients, tumors from long-term survivors did not show distinct gene expression profiles and included proneural, classical and mesenchymal glioblastoma subtypes. We performed genome- and/or transcriptome-wide molecular profiling of primary tumor samples from 70 glioblastoma patients of the German Glioma Network, including 23 longterm survivors with >36 months overall survival (OS), 16 short-term survivors with <12 months OS, and 31 patients with intermediate OS
