Project description:Adult neural progenitor cells (aNPCs) are a potential autologous cell source for cell replacement in neurologic diseases such as Parkinsonâs disease or stroke or for cell-based gene therapy for neurometabolic diseases. Easy accessibility, long-term expandability and detailed characterization of NPC properties are important requisites for their future translational/clinical applications. aNPC can be isolated from different regions of the adult human brain including the accessible subcortical white matter (aNPCWM), but systematic studies comparing long-term expanded aNPCWM with aNPC from neurogenic brain regions to check for their NPC characteristics and performance are not available. Freshly isolated cells from subcortical white matter and hippocampus (aNPCHIP) expressed oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) markers such as A2B5, NG2 and OLIG2 in ~20% of cells but no neural stem cell (NSC) markers such CD133 (Prominin1), NESTIN, SOX2 or PAX6. The EGF receptor (EGFR) protein was expressed in 18% of aNPCWM and 7% of aNPCHIP, but only a small fraction of 1 cell out 694 cells from white matter and only 1 out of 1,331 hippocampal cells were able to generate neurospheres. Studies comparing subcortical aNPCWM with their hippocampal counterparts showed that both NPC types expressed mainly markers of glial origin such as NG2, A2B5 and OLIG2, and the NSC/NPC marker Nestin, but no pericyte markers. Both NPC types were able to produce fully mature neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in comparable amounts to fetal NSC. Whole transcriptome analyses finally confirmed the strong similarity of aNPCWM with aNPCHIP. Our data show that aNPCWM are multipotent NPC with long-term expandability capacity similar to NPC from hippocampus making them an easily accessible source for possible autologous NPC-based treatment strategies. Isolation and propagation of multipotent NPCs. Adult human hippocampal (hip) and subcortical white matter (wm) tissue was obtained from routine epilepsy surgery procedures following informed consent of the subjects. All procedures were in accordance with the Helsinki convention and approved by the Ethical Committee of the University of Dresden (No. 47032006). All subjects underwent high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging excluding tumors and were screened for the presence of infectious disease. In all cases the neuropathological examinations did not reveal evidences for tumor formation. Gene expression Single-channel oligonucleotide microarray analysis. For the gene expression microarray analysis we used the Affimetrix U133A chips containing 22.215 probe sets representing at least 12.905 individual genes. The whole procedure was performed following the manufacturerâs standard protocol (Affimetrix, Santa Clara, CA). For the data processing, normalization was calculated with the GCRMA (GC content corrected Robust Multi-array Analysis) algorithm. fNSC: Human fetal neural stem cells, 2 biological rep aNPChip: Human adult neural progenitor cells isolated from hippocampus, 3 biological rep aNPCwm: Human adult neural progenitor cells isolated from white matter, 2 biological rep

Project description:Multipotent adult resident cardiac stem cells (CSCs) originally were identified by the expression of c-kit, the stem cell factor receptor. However, in the adult myocardium c-kit alone distinguish CSCs from other c-kit-expressing cardiac cells because the adult heart contains a heterogeneous mixture of c-kitpos cells, mainly composed of mast and endothelial/progenitor cells. This heterogeneity of cardiac c-kitpos cells has not been considered in recent c-kit-expressing cell fate mapping publications, which have equated the contribution of the whole heterogeneous c-kitpos population to cardiomyocyte generation in adulthood, which is minimal, to that of the CSCs, a result at odds with previous publications. To shed light on this issue, we have assessed the identity, abundancy and myogenic potential of true multipotent CSCs within the total c-kitpos cardiac cell cohort. Blood lineage-committed c-kitpos cells were removed by CD45 negative sorting to obtain a CD45negc-kitpos cell population (<10% of the total c-kitpos cells), which is enriched for cells that express c-kit at low levels and possess all properties of multipotent stem/progenitor cells in vitro. These characteristics are absent from the c-kitneg and the lineage-committed c-kitpos cardiac cells. Single Linnegc-kitpos cell-derived CSC clones, representing 1-2% of total c-kitpos cells, when instructed by TGF-b/Wnt molecules, acquire full transcriptome expression, sarcomere organization, spontaneous contraction and electrophysiological properties of differentiated cardiomyocytes. Significantly, clonogenic CSCs have a potent cardio-regenerative/repair capacity in vivo after acute myocardial infarction. CSC myogenic regenerative capacity is dependent on cardiomyocyte commitment through activation of the SMAD2 pathway. Such regeneration was not apparent when freshly-isolated total c-kitpos cardiac cells were administered. In conclusion, only a very small fraction of cardiac c-kitpos cells (~1-2%) have the characteristics of multipotent CSCs but these exhibit robust myogenic properties.
