Skin-derived precursor cells (SKPs) are neural crest stem cells that persist in certain adult tissues, particularly in the skin. They can generate a large type of cell in vitro, including neurons. SKPs were induced to differentiate into sensory neurons (SNs) by molecules that were previously shown to be important for the generation of SNs: purmorphamine, CHIR99021, BMP4, GDNF, BDNF, and NGF. We showed that the differentiation of SKPs induced the upregulation of neurogenins. At the end of the differentiation protocol, transcriptional analysis was performed on BRN3A and a marker of pain-sensing nerve cell PRDM12 genes: 1000 times higher for PRDM12 and 2500 times higher for BRN3A in differentiated cells than they were in undifferentiated SKPs. Using immunostaining, we showed that 65% and 80% of cells expressed peripheral neuron markers BRN3A and PERIPHERIN, respectively. Furthermore, differentiated cells expressed TRPV1, PAR2, TRPA1, substance P, CGRP, HR1. Using calcium imaging, we observed that a proportion of cells responded to histamine, SLIGKV (a specific agonist of PAR2), polygodial (a specific agonist of TRPA1), and capsaicin (a specific agonist of TRPV1). In conclusion, SKPs are able to differentiate directly into functional SNs. These differentiated cells will be very useful for further in vitro studies.

AbstractSpermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), which were isolated from chicken (Gallus gallus) embryo testes 16 days after laying, were cultured, subcultured, and induced into adipocytes in vitro. The differentiated cells were identified by oil red-O staining. Dexamethasone, insulin and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) were tested for their induction potential. About 7–21 days after induction, SSCs differentiated into adipocytes, and the resulting adipocytes strongly expressed peroxisome proliferation activation receptor-γ (PPAR-γ). The assay outcome showed that an optimal treatment consisted of dexamethasone, insulin and IBMX application for 3 days and insulin for 1 day (3 cycles), then insulin for 21 days. The differentiation ratio was 85%, better than the combined use of dexamethasone, insulin and IBMX (P<0.01). However, the combination of the three derivatives triggered a stronger induction than any of them used alone (P<0.01). This study has demonstrated the potential of chicken embryonic SSCs to differentiate in vitro into adipocytes.

The present study was carried out for isolation of goat (Capra hircus) adipose-tissue-derived stem cells (gADSCs) from adipose tissue, their characterization, and in vitro differentiation of gADSCs into pancreatic islets-like cells by giving conditioned medium. Goat ADSCs were isolated from goat adipose tissue by the enzymatic digestion method and were enriched by filtering through a 41-μm filter. Thus, filtered cells resuspended in a cell culture flask containing growth enriching medium and cultured in 5% CO2 in air at 38.5°C. Goat ADSCs were characterised by amplification of mesenchymal stem cell specific markers i.e. CD29, CD34, CD44, CD90, and CD166 as positive markers and CD41 and CD71 as negative markers. Immunocytochemistry of mesenchymal stem cell was also carried out with specific markers CD44 and CD90. Goat ADSCs were further characterised by in vitro differentiating them into osteocytes, chondrocytes, and adipocytes. For in vitro differentiation of gADSCs into osteocytes gADSCs were supplemented with conditioned medium i.e. DMEM containing fetal bovine serum (FBS), dexamethazone, B-glycerol phosphate and L-ascorbic acid. Osteogenic differentiation was confirmed by positive Alizarin red S staining and amplification of Osteopontin and Collagen I genes. For differentiation into chondrocytes cells, gADSCs were incubated in DMEM/F12 containing dexamethazone, ITX, BMP-4, and FBS for 21 days. Differentiated cells were confirmed by positive Safranin O staining and expression of chondrocytes specific Collagen III and Aggrecan genes. For adipogenesis, gADSCs were incubated with DMEM/F12 containing FBS, dexamethasone, and ITX and differentiated cells were confirmed by positive Oil Red O staining and amplification of adipocytes specific genes i.e. LPL, PPRγ and PPRα. For in-vitro differentiation gADSCs into pancreatic islets-like cells on the third or fourth passage gADSCs were incubated in conditioned medium containing serum-free DMEM/F12 medium with glucose (17.5 mM) in the presence of nicotinamide (10 mM), activin-A (2 nM), exendin-4 (10 nM), pentagastrin (10 nM), retinoic acid (10 μM) and mercaptoethanol (20 μM). The in vitro differentiation gADSCs into pancreatic islets-like cells was confirmed by amplification of pancreatic endoderm specific genes i.e. igf-1, sst, ngn3, pdx-1, isl-1, c-kit, thy-1, and Glut-2, and no expression was detected for above endoderm specific genes in undifferentiated gADSCs. Pancreatic islets-like cells were further characterised by immunostaining and Western blotting of Pdx-1, insulin, and Islets-1 specific protein. It could be concluded that gADSCs was differentiated into different lineages and secretory insulin was produced from pancreatic islets-like cells.

AbstractOxysterols play vital roles in the human body, ranging from cell cycle regulation and progression to dopaminergic neurogenesis. While naïve human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have been explored to have neurogenic effect, there is still a grey area to explore their regenerative potential after in vitro differentiation. Hence, in the current study, we have investigated the neurogenic effect of 22(R)-hydroxycholesterol (22-HC) on hMSCs obtained from bone marrow, adipose tissue and dental pulp. Morphological and morphometric analysis revealed physical differentiation of stem cells into neuronal cells. Detailed characterization of differentiated cells affirmed generation of neuronal cells in culture. The percentage of generation of non-DA cells in the culture confirmed selective neurogenic potential of 22-HC. We substantiated the efficacy of these cells in neuro-regeneration by transplanting them into Parkinson’s disease Wistar rat model. MSCs from dental pulp had maximal regenerative effect (with 80.20 ± 1.5% in vitro differentiation efficiency) upon transplantation, as shown by various behavioural examinations and immunohistochemical tests. Subsequential analysis revealed that 22-HC yields a higher percentage of functional DA neurons and has differential effect on various tissue-specific primary human MSCs. 22-HC may be used for treating Parkinson’s disease in future with stem cells.
