Canonical Wnt

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) provide an important means to effectively study soluble and cell-bound mediators that regulate development of early blood and endothelial cells in a human model system. Here, several complementary methods are used to demonstrate canonical Wnt signaling is important for development of hESC-derived cells with both hematopoietic and endothelial potential. Analyses using both standard flow cy-tometry, as well the more detailed high-throughput image scanning flow cytometry, characterizes sequential development of distinct early developing CD34brightCD31+Flk1+ cells and a later population of CD34dimCD45+ cells. While the CD34brightCD31+Flk1+ have a more complex morphology and can develop into both endothelial cells and hematopoietic cells, the CD34dimCD45+ cells have a simpler morphology and give rise to only hematopoietic cells. Treatment with dickkopf1 to inhibit Wnt signaling results in a dramatic decrease in development of cells with hematoendothelial potential. In addition, activation of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway in hESCs by coculture with stromal cells that express Wnt1, but not use of noncanonical Wnt5-expressing stromal cells, results in an accelerated differentiation and higher percentage of CD34brightCD31+Flk1+ cells at earlier stages of differentiation. These studies effectively demonstrate the importance of canonical Wnt signaling to mediate development of early hematoendothelial progenitors during human development.

Infarction Volume

Embryonic mesenchymal stem cells (eMSCs) were first derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) overexpressing green fluorescence protein (GFP). They expressed CD29, CD44, CD73, CD105, CD166 and nestin, but not CD34, CD45, CD106 SSEA-4 or Oct3/4. Twenty million eMSCs in 1mL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) were injected into the femoral veins of spontaneously hypertensive rats after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. The migration and differentiation of the eMSCs in the ischemic brain were analyzed. The results revealed that eMSCs migrated to the infarction region and differentiated into neurons, which were positive for β-tubulin III, microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), HuC, neurofilament and human nuclear antibody, and to vascular endothelial cells, which were positive for von Willebrand factor (vWF). The transplanted cells survived in the infarction region for at least 4 weeks. Adhesive removal function significantly improved in the first week after cell transplantation, and rotarod motor function significantly improved starting from the second week. The infarction volume in the eMSC group was significantly smaller than that in the PBS control group at 4 weeks after infusion. The results of this study show that when administered intravenously, eMSCs differentiated into neuronal and endothelial cells, reduced the infarction volume, and improved behavioral functional outcome significantly in transient focal cerebral ischemia.
