Expression data from five independent murine BM MSC
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Data collected in our laboratory show that independent murine MSC cultures react in a heterogeneous manner to Toll-like receptors (TLRs) activation. This array aims to investigate the molecular basis for the heterogeneity in the response of MSCs to TLR activation and its origin. For this array, 5 MSC preparation, all from BM of female C57BL/6J 6-8 weeks old, were studied in two replicates.
Project description:Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a pleiotropic anti-inflammatory cytokine produced and sensed by most hematopoietic cells. Genome wide association studies and experimental animal models point at a central role of the IL-10 axis in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. Here we investigated the importance of intestinal macrophage production of IL-10 and their IL-10 exposure, as well as the existence of an IL-10-based autocrine regulatory loop in the gut. Specifically, we generated mice harboring IL-10 or IL-10 receptor (IL-10R?) mutations in intestinal lamina propria-resident chemokine receptor CX3CR1hi-expressingmacrophages. We found macrophage-derived IL-10 dispensable for gut homeostasis and maintenance of colonic T regulatory cells. In contrast, loss of IL-10 receptor expression impaired the critical conditioning of these monocyte-derived macrophages, but resulted in spontaneous development of severe colitis. Collectively, our results highlight IL-10 as a critical homeostatic macrophage-conditioning factor in the colon and define intestinal CX3CR1hi macrophages as a decisive factor that determines gut health or inflammation. Microarray of resident macrophages sorted from colons of Interleukin-10 deficeint mice and macrophage-restricted interleukin-10 receptor deficient mice versus colonic resident macrophages of wild type mice
Project description:Developing CD4+ T-cells in the thymus mature from CD69+Qa2- cells to CD69-Qa2+ T-cells. This maturation is accombanied by increased expression of CD62L and S1PR1 in Qa2+ cells, which allows mature T-cells to emigrate from the thymus to the periphery. However, miR-142-/- mice are characterized by an altered thymocytes homeostasis, characterized by reduced CD62L protein levels on their cell surface. To characterize the underlying molecular mechanisms, which lead to reduced CD62L expression in miR-142-/- CD4+ thymocytes, we investigated the mRNA levels in immature Qa2- as well as mature Qa2+ thymocytes isolated ex vivo from WT and miR-142 deficient Bl6 mice. Thymi were isolated from a pool of 4-5 mice per genotype and cells were isolated by FACS sorting. After sorting, total mRNA was isolated and expression levels were investigated with an Affymetrix microarrage Gene 1.0ST chip.
Project description:The effects of mutant p53 on TNFa stimulated PANC1 cells was tested. PANC1 cell harbor endogenous mutation in p53 (R273H). We knocked down this mutp53 (using sirna for p53) and then treated with low doses of TNFa to detect any differential transcription regulation governed by mutp53. A total of 7 samples, 3 of them were duplicated
Project description:Comparison of expression profile of Ewing's sarcoma with cell of origin, mesenchymal stem cells with the goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets. 3 Ewing's cell lines compared to 2 MSC cell lines
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:To analyze the changes induced in MSC transcriptome by activated T cells, MSC were co-cultured in transwell with anti CD3/CD28 activated T cells for 48 hrs before RNA extraction IFNγ-induced plasticity of mesenchymal stem cells is regulated by STATs through inhibition of mTOR and TGFβ pathways. Vigo T, Procaccini C, Ferrara G, Baranzini S, Oksenberg J, Diaspro A, Kerlero de Rosbo N, Uccella A. The expression of MSC co-cultured with activated T cells ( two replicates) were compared to that of naive MSC (3 replicates)
Project description:Compare the behaviour of two populations of non-hematopoetic stem cells (MSC and MAPC) isolated from human bone marrow. The effect of culture conditions on the behaviour of MSC was also characterised by isolating MSC and then culturing the cells for 96h in MAPC growth conditions
Project description:Administration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has the potential to ameliorate degenerative disorders and to repair damaged tissues. The homing of transplanted MSCs to injured sites is a critical property of engraftment. Our aim was to identify microRNAs involved in controlling MSC proliferation and migration. MSCs can be isolated from bone marrow and umbilical cord Wharton's jelly (BM-MSCs and WJ-MSCs, respectively), and WJ-MSCs show poorer motility yet have a better amplification rate compared to BM-MSCs. One human BM-MSC (pooled sample of 4 independent donors), one human WJ-MSC (pooled sample of 3 independent donors), and differentiated osteocytes and adipocytes derived from BM-MSCs after 2 weeks induction.
Project description:Analysis of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) from bone marrow and the Wharton's jelly of the umbilical cord after manupulating miR-146a-5p expression. miR-146a-5p is involved in controlling the proliferation and migration of MSCs. Results provide miR-146a-5p-regulating genes in MSCs. In this study, BM-MSCs transduced with miR-146a-5p expression vector or pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-copGFP vector only, as well as two WJ-MSCs transfected with short interfering RNAs targeting miR-146a or a GFP control.
Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) harvested from conditioned media of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) suppress acute inflammation in various disease models and promote regeneration of damaged tissues. Following successful treatment of an acute steroid-refractory Graft-versus-Host disease (GvHD) patient with EVs prepared from conditioned media of human bone marrow-derived MSCs, we focus on improving the MSC-EV production for the clinical application. Independent MSC-EV preparations all produced according to a standardized procedure, reveal broad immunomodulatory differences. Only a proportion of our MSC-EV products effectively modulate immune responses in a multi-donor mixed lymphocyte reaction (mdMLR) assay. To explore the relevance of such differences, we have established an optimized mouse GvHD model. The functional testing of selected MSC-EV preparations demonstrate that MSC-EV preparations revealing immunomodulatory capabilities in the mdMLR assay also effectively suppress GvHD symptoms in this model. In contrast, MSC-EV preparations, lacking such in vitro activities, also fail to modulate GvHD symptoms in vivo. Searching for differences of the active and inactive MSC-EV preparations, we failed to identify concrete proteins or miRNAs that could serve as surrogate markers. Thus, standardized MSC-EV production strategies may not be sufficient to warrant manufacturing of MSC-EV products with reproducible qualities. Consequently, given this functional heterogeneity, every individual MSC-EV preparation considered for the clinical application should be evaluated for its therapeutic potency prior to administration to patients. Here, we qualified the mdMLR assay for such analyses.
