Project description:Tissue repair using cell transplantation holds popular appeal. This underlines the need to understand stem cells within the target organ. Our laboratory works on the human brain. Using neurosphere methods, we and others have only been able to passage stem/progenitors a very few times with little expansion of numbers. Now we describe an efficient method for the establishment and propagation of human brain stem cells from whatever tissue samples we have tried. We describe virtually unlimited expansion of an authentic stem cell phenotype. Pluripotency markers Sox2 and Oct4 are expressed without artificial induction. For the first time, multipotency of adult human brain-derived stem cells is demonstrated beyond tissue boundaries. We characterize these cells in detail in vitro including microarray and proteomic approaches. Whilst clarification of these cells' behavior is ongoing, results so far portend well for the future repair of tissues by transplantation of an adult patient's own-derived stem cells. Grey matter and white matter: tissue, stem cells and differentiated cells compared. Total RNA from two brain biopsy sources (grey matter, white matter) from one adult human.

Brain stem cells and glioblastoma stem cells: adherent compared to sphere culture. Total RNA from three adult human brain biopsy sources and three brain tumour samples. Derived stem cell lines were grown as spheres and adherently. Comparison of cells under these culture conditions.

Adult human brain stem cells from the subventricular zone were compared to those from hippocampus. Total RNA from three adult human brain biopsy sources: 3 subventricular-derived cell lines and 3 hippocampus-derived cell lines.

Project description:Human neural stem cells (NSCs) hold great promise in reparative therapy for neural diseases and injuries. However, the isolation of NSCs from either fetal or adult tissue and their application remain difficult due to ethical and immune-rejection concerns. One promising solution is to generate patient specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and subsequently differentiate them into NSCs. Alternatively, induced neurons (iN) can be generated directly from fibroblasts by retroviral delivery of neural specific transcription factors or miroRNAs. The later two approaches remain inefficient and with safety concerns. Here, we describe a process to generate, from epithelial-like cells present in human urine, integration free and engraftable NSCs (UiNSC) efficiently. Using an episomal system to deliver reprogramming factors and microRNAs into human urine cells and subsequently culture them in a chemically defined medium supplemented with a cocktail of small molecules, we generated UiNSCs capable of proliferation and without the transgenes upon prolonged expansion. These transgene free UiNSCs express typical neural stem cell markers and are able to differentiate into all neuronal subtypes and glial cells in vitro and more importantly could engraft and differentiate in vivo upon transplantation into the brain of new born rat. Thus, our work provides an efficient and highly practical platform to generate patient specific NSCs for regenerative medicine. This is a general expression microarray design (NimbleGen platform). It includes 6 samples.

Project description:Despite the enormous replication potential of the human liver, there are currently no culture systems available that sustain hepatocyte replication and/or function in vitro. We have shown previously that single mouse Lgr5+ liver stem cells can be expanded as epithelial organoids in vitro and can be differentiated into functional hepatocytes in vitro and in vivo. We now describe conditions allowing long-term expansion of adult bile duct-derived bi-potent progenitor cells from human liver. The expanded cells are highly stable at the chromosome and structural level, while single base changes occur at very low rates. The cells can readily be converted into functional hepatocytes in vitro and upon transplantation in vivo. Organoids from α1-antitrypsin deficiency and Alagille Syndrome patients mirror the in vivo pathology. Clonal long-term expansion of primary adult liver stem cells opens up experimental avenues for disease modeling, toxicology studies, regenerative medicine and gene therapy. We generated arrays from whole human liver tissue, and human liver derived cultures maintained in our defined medium. Genes 4 fold differentially expressed were used for the clustering analsyis (see matrix 1). For the genes enriched in organoid cultures grown in ERFHNic+A compared to ERFHnic we normalized the arrays by substracting the liver tissue 1 array to the culture arrays. Then we calculated the fold difference between the ERFHNic+A and the ERFHNic samples (see matrix 2).
