Project description:Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population, hence are neither present after bith and nor are they readily accesible for analysis. Therefore, little is known about the genetic networks that regulate NC especification, delamitation and migration from the dorsal neural tube to their final destination along the embryo. Here we have developed a novel resource for lineage tracing and for the isolation of neural crest cells in the chick embryo, enabling us to perform a genome-wide expression screen in neural crest progenitors versus neuroepithelial cells.

Project description:Human bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are key elements of the hematopoietic environment and they play a central role in bone and bone marrow physiology. However, how key BMSC functions are regulated is largely unknown. We analyzed the role of the immediate early response transcription factor EGR1 as key BMSC regulator and found that EGR1 was highly expressed in prospectively-isolated primary BMSCs, downregulated upon culture, and lower in non-CFU-F-containing CD45neg BM cells. Furthermore, EGR1 expression was lower in proliferative regenerating adult and fetal primary cells compared to adult steady-state BMSCs. Accordingly, EGR1 overexpression markedly decreased BMSC proliferation but considerably improved hematopoietic stroma support function as indicated by an increased production of transplantable CD34+CD90+ hematopoietic stem cells in expansion co-cultures. The improvement of BMSC stroma support function was mediated by increased expression of hematopoietic supporting genes, such as VCAM1 and CCL28. On the other hand, EGR1 knockdown increased ROS-mediated BMSC proliferation, and clearly reduced BMSC hematopoietic stroma support potential. These findings thus show that EGR1 is a key BMSC transcription factor with a dual role in regulating proliferation and hematopoietic stroma support function that is controlling a genetic program to coordinate the specific functions of BMSC in their different biological contexts.

Project description:Conflicting reports exist on whether endothelial cells (ECs) serve as a source of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). In studies concerning the endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT), ECs expressing mesenchymal markers, as well as BMSCs expressing endothelial markers, are typically considered intermediates of EndoMT. To understand the lineage relationship between ECs and BMSCs in postnatal mouse bone marrow, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on ECs and BMSCs obtained from 5-week-old wild-type C57BL/6J mice, and analyzed the potential intermediates of EndoMT. Subsequently, BMSC and EC lineage tracing models, flow cytometry, and immunostaining techniques were used to validate the findings from scRNA-seq analysis.

Project description:Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) provide hematopoietic support, immunoregulation and contain a stem cell fraction capable of skeletogenic differentiation. A heterogeneous population of primary bone marrow BMSCs were isolated from a single human donor (FH181), and a lentiviral expression system was used to overexpress human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and generate single cell-derived immortalised BMSC lines for multi-level analysis of functional markers for BMSC subsets. All clones expressed typical BMSC cell surface antigens, however clones Y101 and Y201 displayed typical BMSC tri-lineage differentiation capacity where clones Y102 and Y202 lacked significant tri-lineage differentiation potential. High quality RNA samples were isolated from all lines, and global gene expression analysis was performed in triplicate arrays (using Agilent SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression 8x60K v2 Microarrays) in order to identify distinguishing characteristics of these lines, compared to the parental primary BMSCs from which they were derived.

Project description:Ex vivo expansion of Bone Marrow Stromal Cells (BMSC) is required to obtain clinical dose for cellular therapy, and different labs use different confluence in their practice, however, the impacts of 100% confluence on the biological properties of BMSC remain controversial. In this study, we detected the changes occurred to BMSCs when they reached 100% confluence, including viability, population doubling time (PDT), apoptosis, colony formation, immunosuppression, proteins in the culture supernatant, and surface markers; we also performed gene expression profiling and microRNA profiling on 50%, 80% and 100% confluent BMSCs. Our results showed that 100% confluent BMSCs had similar level of immunosuppression to 80% confluent BMSCs; they increased the expression of CD10, CD54, CD106, CD200, TLR4, but decreased CD49f and PODXL; we detected of 39 proteins in the culture supernatant, which displayed different patterns and an increase on the PEDF/VEGF ratio was observed with higher confluence. We identified 26 differentially expressed microRNAs, which were reported to be involved in the proliferation and differentiation of BMSC; and 2708 genes that were involved in extracellular matrix, cell adhesion, immune response and inflammatory response; particularly, angiogenesis inhibitor PEDF, and Wnt Singling inhibitors DKK1, DKK2, and DKK3 were up-regulated by 100% confluent BMSCs. These data suggest that 100% confluent BMSC may retain immunosuppressive activities but have comprised pro-angiogenesis effects. Gene expression profiling on BMSCs of 3 confluences (50%, 80% and 100%) from 5 healthy donors: 09FC37 (n=3), 09FC43 (n=3), 09FC44 (n=3), 09FC45 (n=3), 09FC49 (n=3) as biological repeats.

Project description:Background: Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) have classically been cultured in media supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS). As an alternative to FBS, pooled solvent detergent apheresis platelets, HPGF-C18, was evaluated for BMSC culture. Methods: A comparison of passage 2 BMSC growth revealed that 10% HPGF-C18 produced similar cell numbers as 20% FBS. Marrow aspirates from 5 healthy subjects were cultured for 4 passages in 10% HPGF-C18 or 20% FBS and were analyzed for proliferation, colony formation efficiency (CFE), surface marker expression, suppression of mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLRs), global gene and microRNA expression analysis. BMSC supernatant cytokine and growth factor concentrations were also compared. Results: Primary cultures of marrow aspirates in 10% HPGF-C18 and 20% FBS yielded similar numbers and CFE. After 4 passages, 10% HPGF-C18 and 20% FBS yielded similar numbers of BMSCs, surface marker expression patterns and immunosuppression effects. Gene and microRNA expression analysis revealed that BMSCs cultured under the two conditions had distinct expression profiles. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) revealed HPGF-C18-cultured BMSCs were enriched in metabolic processing and biosynthetic pathways; cell proliferation and cell cycle pathways; and immune response pathways. FBS-cultured BMSCs were enriched in MAPK signaling, TGF-beta signaling, cell adhesion and extracellular matrix pathways. Differently expressed microRNAs were related to the osteogenesis of BMSCs. Supernatant analysis found that HPGF-C18 BMSCs displayed higher levels of PEDF and TGFB1 and lower levels of IL6, VEGF, SDF1 and PLGF. Conclusions: Traditional measures; expansion, surface marker expression and inhibition of MLRs suggest that BMSC cultured in HPGF-C18 and FBS were similar, but analysis at the molecular level revealed many differences. BMSCs cultured in HPGF-C18 should be assessed in specific functional assays that reflect application-specific potency before substituting FBS with HPGF-C18.

Project description:Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) are nerve-associated progenitors that not only can generate myelinating and non-myelinating Schwann cells but also are multipotent like the neural crest cells from which they originate. SCPs are omnipresent along outgrowing peripheral nerves throughout the body of vertebrate embryos. By using single-cell transcriptomics to generate the atlas of the entire neural crest lineage, we show that early SCPs and late migratory crest have similar transcriptional profiles characterized by a multipotent “hub” state containing cells biased towards traditional neural crest fates. SCPs keep diverging from the neural crest after being primed towards terminal Schwann cell and other fates, with different subtypes residing in distinct anatomical locations. Functional experiments using CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function further show that knock-out of the hub gene Sox8 causes defects in neural crest-derived cells along peripheral nerves by facilitating differentiation of SCPs towards sympathoadrenal fates. Finally, specific tumour populations found in melanoma, neurofibroma and neuroblastoma map to different stages of SCP/Schwann cell development. Overall, SCPs resemble migrating neural crest cells that maintain multipotency and become transcriptionally primed toward distinct lineages.

Project description:Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are multipotent stem cells that preferentially differentiate into mesenchymal cells. If they can be dedifferentiated into embryonic stem cell-like cells, they will be a highly attractive source for cell therapy. Cell and egg extracts have been used in a few studies to evaluate nuclear reprogramming, but these have not examined cell pluripotency in any detail. In this study, we used a cell reversible permeabilization method to treat BMSC with Xenopus laevis mitotic egg extract. We observed an upregulation of the pluripotent protein Oct3/4 in BMSCs treated by this extract. We also further evaluated transcriptional changes with a focused stem cell oligonucleotide array. A number of genes involved in the Notch or Wnt signaling pathways were upregulated in BMSC exposed to Xenopus egg extract. In conclusion, our microarray data from BMSCs exposure to egg extracts may provide interesting clues regarding factors involved in nuclear reprogramming. Our approach is an alternative method towards dedifferentiation of cells without genetic modification, which is preferable in the clinical situation.

Project description:Neural crest cells are embryonic progenitors that generate numerous cell types in vertebrates. With single cell analysis, we show that mouse trunk neural crest cells become biased toward neuronal lineages when they delaminate from the neural tube, whereas cranial neural crest cells acquire ectomesenchyme potential dependent on activation of the transcription factor Twist1. The choices that neural crest cells make to become sensory, glial, autonomic, or mesenchymal cells can be formalized as a series of sequential binary decisions. Each branch of the decision tree involves initial co-activation of bipotential properties followed by gradual shifts towards commitment. Competing fate programs are co-activated before cells acquire fate-specific phenotypic traits. Determination of a specific fate is achieved by increased synchronization of relevant programs and concurrent repression of competing fate programs.

Project description:Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) can be expanded by serial passage, but expansion is limited by cell senescence. The nature of changes associated with BMSC serial passages was assessed. Transcriptome analysis of 10 early and 15 late passage samples from 5 subjects revealed 2193 differentially expressed genes; those highly expressed in early passage cells were overrepresented in skeletal system development, embryonic morphogenesis, tube morphogenesis, etc, while those highly expressed in the late passage BMSCs were overrepresented in nucleosome assembly; chromatin assembly, DNA packaging, etc. 57 BMSC samples from 7 donors were further analyzed for the transition from an early to late passage; 155 genes were highly correlated with BMSC senescence and a set of 24 genes was predictive of BMSCs lifespan. The change from an early to a late passage molecular signature occurred between passage 3 and 5. In contrast, senescence associated beta-galactosidase staining began to increase after passage 6 or 7 and colony formation efficiency began to fall after passage 7. These data indicated that the onset of molecular changes associated with BMSC passage varied among individuals and preceded changes in commonly used indicators of BMSC senescence. The set of 24 BMSC lifespan predictive genes will be useful in assessing the quality of clinical BMSC products.
