Chronic Brain Ischemia

Alzheimer’s disease, one of the neurodegenerative diseases, shows the progressive senescence of neural progenitor/stem cells. N-Stearoyl-L-tyrosine (NsTyr) showed neuroprotective effect against chronic brain ischemia in previous reports. In the present study, we find the antisenescent effects of NsTyr-2K in NSPCs induced by Aβ1–42in vitro. Cell viability of NSPCs was evaluated by CCK8 assay; SA-β-gal staining was used to evaluate senescence of NSPCs. CB receptors were detected by immunohistochemistry in NSPCs. AM251 or AM630 was used to offset the anti-senescence effects afforded by NsTyr-2K. The positive rate of SA-β-gal staining was significantly increased in NSPCs after incubation with Aβ1–42for 9 days. CB receptors were found on the surface of NSPCs. The expression level of CB1 receptors was significantly decreased in NSPCs after incubation with Aβ1–42. This phenomenon was reversed dose-dependently by NsTyr-2K. NsTyr-2K attenuated Aβ1–42induced NSPCs senescence dose-dependently, and its antisenescence effect was completely abolished by AM630. Aβ1–42dose-dependently increased the prosenescence molecules p16 and Rb. Their expression was inhibited by NsTyr-2K dose-dependently and blocked by AM630 in NSPCs. These results suggest that NsTyr-2K can alleviate the senescence of NSPCs induced by Aβ1–42via CB2 receptor.

SummaryThe division potential of individual stem cells and the molecular consequences of successive rounds of proliferation remain largely unknown. We developed an inducible cell division counter (iCOUNT) that reports cell division events in human and mouse tissues in vitro and in vivo. Analysing cell division histories of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) in the developing and adult brain, we show that iCOUNT allows for novel insights into stem cell behaviour. Further, we used single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) of iCOUNT-labelled NSPCs and their progenies from the developing mouse cortex and forebrain-regionalized human organoids to identify molecular pathways that are commonly regulated between mouse and human cells, depending on individual cell division histories. Thus, we developed a novel tool to characterize the molecular consequences of repeated cell divisions of stem cells that allows an analysis of the cellular principles underlying tissue formation, homeostasis, and repair.HighlightsiCOUNT reports previous cell divisions in mouse and human cells in vitroiCOUNT detects cell division biographies in complex mouse tissues in vivoiCOUNT allows for the analysis of human neural stem/progenitor cells in human forebrain organoidsSingle cell RNA-sequencing of iCOUNT cells derived from the mouse developing cortex and human forebrain organoids identifies molecular consequences of previous rounds of cell divisionsGraphical abstract

A scheme is presented whereby pluripotent hemopoietic stem cells (PHSC) from rat bone marrow can be enriched 320-fold with the aid of the fluorescence- activated cell sorter. This scheme is based on the observations that PHSC are strongly positive for Thy-1 antigen (upper 10th percentile); have light- scattering properties (size distribution) between those of bone marrow lymphocytes and myeloid progenitor cells; and are relatively resistant to cortisone. It is estimated that PHSC may constitute 80 percent of the cells isolated according to these parameters. Candidate PHSC are described at the light and electron microscopic levels. At least two populations of accessory cells appear to influence the number and/or the nature of the hemopoietic colonies that form in the in vivo spleen colony-forming unit assay. Putative amplifier cells are strongly Thy-1(+) and cortisone sensitive; putative suppressor cells are weakly Thy-1(+) and cortisone resistant. Three subsets of granulocyte (G) -macrophage (M) progenitor cells (in vitro colony-forming cells [CFC]) are identified on the basis of relative fluorescence intensity for Thy-1 antigen: G-CFC are strongly Thy-l(+); M-CFC are weakly Thy-l(+); and cells that produce mixed G and M CFC have intermediate levels of Thy-1. GM-cluster-forming cells and mature G and M are Thy-1(-). The results suggest that G-CFC are bipotential cells that give rise to G and M-CFC; and that the latter produce mature M through a cluster- forming cell intermediate. Thy-1 antigen is also demonstrated on members of the eosinophil, megakaryocyte, erythrocyte, and lymphocyte cell series in rat bone marrow. In each instance, the relative concentration of Thy-1 antigen is inversely related to the state of cellular differentiation.

AbstractDiallyl sulphide (DAS), the pungent component of garlic, is known to have several medicinal properties and has recently been shown to have radiomitigative properties. The present study was performed to better understand its mode of action in rendering radiomitigation. Evaluation of the colonogenic ability of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) on methocult media, proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and transplantation of stem cells were performed. The supporting tissue of HSCs was also evaluated by examining the histology of bone marrow and in vitro colony-forming unit–fibroblast (CFU-F) count. Alterations in the levels of IL-5, IL-6 and COX-2 were studied as a function of radiation or DAS treatment. It was observed that an increase in proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells occurred by postirradiation DAS administration. It also resulted in increased circulating and bone marrow homing of transplanted stem cells. Enhancement in bone marrow cellularity, CFU-F count, and cytokine IL-5 level were also evident. All those actions of DAS that could possibly add to its radiomitigative potential and can be attributed to its HDAC inhibitory properties, as was observed by the reversal radiation induced increase in histone acetylation.

Cd34 Antigen

The CD34 antigen is expressed on most, if not all, human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and hematopoietic progenitor cells, and its use for the enrichment of HSCs with repopulating potential is well established. However, despite homology between human and murine CD34, its expression on subsets of primitive murine hematopoietic cells has not been examined in full detail. To address this issue, we used a novel monoclonal antibody against murine CD34 (RAM34) to fractionate bone marrow (BM) cells that were then assayed in vitro and in vivo with respect to differing functional properties. A total of 4% to 17% of murine BM cells expressed CD34 at intermediate to high levels, representing a marked improvement over the resolution obtained with previously described polyclonal anti-CD34 antibodies. Sixty percent of CD34+ BM cells lacked lineage (Lin) markers expressed on mature lymphoid or myeloid cells. Eighty-five percent of Sca-1+Thy-1(10)Lin- /10 cells that are highly enriched in HSCs expressed intermediate, but not high, levels of CD34 antigen. The remainder of these phenotypically defined stem cells were CD34-. In vitro colony-forming cells, day-8 and -12 spleen colony-forming units (CFU-S), primitive progenitors able to differentiate into B lymphocytes in vitro or into T lymphocytes in SCID mice, and stem cells with radioprotective and competitive long-term repopulating activity were all markedly enriched in the CD34+ fraction after single-parameter cell sorting. In contrast, CD34-BM cells were depleted of such activities at the cell doses tested and were capable of only short-term B-cell production in vitro. The results indicate that a significant proportion of murine HSCs and multilineage progenitor cells express detectable levels of CD34, and that the RAM34 monoclonal antibody is a useful tool to subset primitive murine hematopoietic cells. These findings should facilitate more direct comparisons of the biology of CD34+ murine and human stem and progenitor cells.

ABSTRACTMild replication stress enhances appearance of dozens of robust recurrent genomic break clusters, termed RDCs, in cultured primary mouse neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs). Robust RDCs occur within genes (“RDC-genes”) that are long and have roles in neural cell communications and/or have been implicated in neuropsychiatric diseases or cancer. We sought to develop an in vitro approach to determine whether specific RDC formation is associated with neural development. For this purpose, we adapted a system to induce neural progenitor cell (NPC) development from mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) lines deficient for XRCC4 plus p53, a genotype that enhances DNA double-strand break (DSB) persistence to enhance detection. We tested for RDCs by our genome wide DSB identification approach that captures DSBs genome-wide via their ability to join to specific genomic Cas9/sgRNA-generated bait DSBs. In XRCC4/p53-deficient ES cells, we detected 7 RDCs, which were in genes, with two RDCs being robust. In contrast, in NPCs derived from these ES cell lines, we detected 29 RDCs, a large fraction of which were robust and associated with long, transcribed neural genes that were also robust RDC-genes in primary NSPCs. These studies suggest that many RDCs present in NSPCs are developmentally influenced to occur in this cell type and indicate that induced development of NPCs from ES cells provides an approach to rapidly elucidate mechanistic aspects of NPC RDC formation.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTWe previously discovered a set of long neural genes susceptible to frequent DNA breaks in primary mouse brain progenitor cells. We termed these genes RDC-genes. RDC-gene breakage during brain development might alter neural gene function and contribute to neurological diseases and brain cancer. To provide an approach to characterize the unknown mechanism of neural RDC-gene breakage, we asked whether RDC-genes appear in neural progenitors differentiated from embryonic stem cells in culture. Indeed, robust RDC-genes appeared in neural progenitors differentiated in culture and many overlapped with robust RDC-genes in primary brain progenitors. These studies indicate that in vitro development of neural progenitors provides a model system for elucidating how RDC-genes are formed.
