RNAseq Analyses Identify Tumor Necrosis Factor-Mediated Inflammation as a Major Abnormality in ALS Spinal Cord.
ALS is a rapidly progressive,devastating neurodegenerative illness of adults that produces disabling weakness and spasticity arising from death of lower and upper motor neurons. No meaningful therapies exist to slow ALS progression,and molecular insights into pathogenesis and progression are sorely needed. In that context,we used high-depth,next generation RNA sequencing (RNAseq,Illumina) to define gene network abnormalities in RNA samples depleted of rRNA and isolated from cervical spinal cord sections of 7 ALS and 8 CTL samples. We aligned textgreater50 million 2X150 bp paired-end sequences/sample to the hg19 human genome and applied three different algorithms (Cuffdiff2,DEseq2,EdgeR) for identification of differentially expressed genes (DEG's). Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) and Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) identified inflammatory processes as significantly elevated in our ALS samples,with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) found to be a major pathway regulator (IPA) and TNF$$-induced protein 2 (TNFAIP2) as a major network hub" gene (WGCNA).

Functional engineered human cardiac patches prepared from nature's platform improve heart function after acute myocardial infarction.
With the advent of induced pluripotent stem cells and directed differentiation techniques,it is now feasible to derive individual-specific cardiac cells for human heart tissue engineering. Here we report the generation of functional engineered human cardiac patches using human induced pluripotent stem cells-derived cardiac cells and decellularized natural heart ECM as scaffolds. The engineered human cardiac patches can be tailored to any desired size and shape and exhibited normal contractile and electrical physiology in vitro. Further,when patching on the infarct area,these patches improved heart function of rats with acute myocardial infarction in vivo. These engineered human cardiac patches can be of great value for normal and disease-specific heart tissue engineering,drug screening,and meet the demands for individual-specific heart tissues for personalized regenerative therapy of myocardial damages in the future.

Human iPSC-Derived Neuronal Model of Tau-A152T Frontotemporal Dementia Reveals Tau-Mediated Mechanisms of Neuronal Vulnerability.
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and other tauopathies characterized by focal brain neurodegeneration and pathological accumulation of proteins are commonly associated with tau mutations. However,the mechanism of neuronal loss is not fully understood. To identify molecular events associated with tauopathy,we studied induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons from individuals carrying the tau-A152T variant. We highlight the potential of in-depth phenotyping of human neuronal cell models for pre-clinical studies and identification of modulators of endogenous tau toxicity. Through a panel of biochemical and cellular assays,A152T neurons showed accumulation,redistribution,and decreased solubility of tau. Upregulation of tau was coupled to enhanced stress-inducible markers and cell vulnerability to proteotoxic,excitotoxic,and mitochondrial stressors,which was rescued upon CRISPR/Cas9-mediated targeting of tau or by pharmacological activation of autophagy. Our findings unmask tau-mediated perturbations of specific pathways associated with neuronal vulnerability,revealing potential early disease biomarkers and therapeutic targets for FTD and other tauopathies.

31P NMR 2D Mapping of Creatine Kinase Forward Flux Rate in Hearts with Postinfarction Left Ventricular Remodeling in Response to Cell Therapy.
Utilizing a fast 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) 2-dimensional chemical shift imaging (2D-CSI) method,this study examined the heterogeneity of creatine kinase (CK) forward flux rate of hearts with postinfarction left ventricular (LV) remodeling. Immunosuppressed Yorkshire pigs were assigned to 4 groups: 1) A sham-operated normal group (SHAM,n = 6); 2) A 60 minutes distal left anterior descending coronary artery ligation and reperfusion (MI,n = 6); 3) Open patch group; ligation injury plus open fibrin patch over the site of injury (Patch,n = 6); and 4) Cell group,hiPSCs-cardiomyocytes,-endothelial cells,and -smooth muscle cells (2 million,each) were injected into the injured myocardium pass through a fibrin patch (Cell+Patch,n = 5). At 4 weeks,the creatine phosphate (PCr)/ATP ratio,CK forward flux rate (Flux PCr→ATP),and k constant of CK forward flux rate (kPCr→ATP) were severely decreased at border zone myocardium (BZ) adjacent to MI. Cell treatment results in significantly increase of PCr/ATP ratio and improve the value of kPCr→ATP and Flux PCr→ATP in BZ myocardium. Moreover,the BZ myocardial CK total activity and protein expression of CK mitochondria isozyme and CK myocardial isozyme were significantly reduced,but recovered in response to cell treatment. Thus,cell therapy results in improvement of BZ bioenergetic abnormality in hearts with postinfarction LV remodeling,which is accompanied by significantly improvements in BZ CK activity and CK isozyme expression. The fast 2D 31P MR CSI mapping can reliably measure the heterogeneity of bioenergetics in hearts with post infarction LV remodeling.

Cell Line Macroarray: An Alternative High-Throughput Platform to Analyze hiPSC Lines.
In the past decade,tissue microarray (TMA) technology has evolved as an innovative tool for high-throughput proteomics analysis and mainly for biomarker validation. Similarly,enormous amount of data can be obtained from the cell line macroarray (CLMA) technology,which developed from the TMA using formalin-fixed,paraffin-embedded cell pellets. Here,we applied CLMA technology in stem cell research and in particular to identify bona fide neogenerated human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) clones suitable for down the line differentiation. All hiPSC protocols generate tens of clones,which need to be tested to determine genetically stable cell lines suitable for differentiation. Screening methods generally rely on fluorescence-activated cell sorting isolation and coverslip cell growth followed by immunofluorescence; these techniques could be cumbersome. Here,we show the application of CLMA to identify neogenerated pluripotent cell colonies and neuronal differentiated cell products. We also propose the use of the automated image analyzer,TissueQuest,as a reliable tool to quickly select the best clones,based upon the level of expression of multiple pluripotent biomarkers.

Creating a patient carried Men1 gene point mutation on wild type iPSCs locus mediated by CRISPR/Cas9 and ssODN.
A patient specific point mutation (c.1288GtextgreaterT) of Men1 gene was introduced into wide type iPSC line with CRISPR/Cas9 and single-stranded donor oligonucleotides carrying the mutation. The mutated iPSC line has a heterozygous c.1288GtextgreaterT mutation on exon-9 of Men1 that was confirmed by sequencing analysis. The karyotype of this line was normal and the pluripotency was demonstrated by its ability to differentiate into three germ layers. These artificially created Men1 mutation in wild type iPSC line will help to dissect out the molecular basis of two patients carried the same mutation from one family who were differentially represented hypoglycemia.

Serum-free medium allows the optimal growth of human megakaryocyte progenitors compared with human plasma supplemented cultures: role of TGF beta.
The growth of human megakaryocyte progenitors from human bone marrow (BM) cells was compared using a methylcellulose semisolid assay supplemented either by normal human plasma or by a serum-free medium. Far better growth of megakaryocyte colonies from CD34+ BM cells stimulated by interleukin 3 (IL-3) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) was observed in serum-free medium compared with human plasma supplemented cultures. These results were confirmed in liquid cultures using the same serum-free medium composition. The megakaryocytes were identified by using an immunocytochemical procedure after labeling with an anti-GPIIb-IIIa monoclonal antibody. High percentages (15 to 20%) of megakaryocytes were present in serum-free cultures stimulated by IL-3 alone or combined with IL-6. The absolute number of megakaryocytes in serum-free medium exceeds by 3.3 (IL-3 plus IL-6) to 4.4 (IL-3 alone) times the corresponding number of megakaryocytes observed in human plasma supplemented cultures. The optimal concentration of IL-3 alone was 5 ng/ml,and an optimal synergistic effect of IL-6 (5 ng/ml) was obtained when combined with a suboptimal dose of IL-3 (1 ng/ml). The poor growth of megakaryocyte colonies from CD34+ BM cells in human plasma suggested the presence of an inhibitory factor. When a neutralizing monoclonal antibody against transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) is present in human plasma supplemented cultures of CD34+ BM cells,the number of megakaryocyte colonies is increased to the level observed in corresponding serum-free cultures. The high efficiency of this serum-free medium to promote the growth of human megakaryocytes will be useful to study the effects of regulators and platelet agonists acting on human megakaryocytes,without interference from factors in the serum.

I branching formation in erythroid differentiation is regulated by transcription factor C/EBPalpha.
The histo-blood group i and I antigens have been characterized as straight and branched repeats of N-acetyllactosamine,respectively,and the conversion of the straight-chain i to the branched-chain I structure on red cells is regulated to occur after birth. It has been demonstrated that the human I locus expresses 3 IGnT transcripts,IGnTA,IGnTB,and IGnTC,and that the last of these is responsible for the I branching formation on red cells. In the present investigation,the K-562 cell line was used as a model to show that the i-to-I transition in erythroid differentiation is determined by the transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha),which enhances transcription of the IGnTC gene,consequently leading to formation of the I antigen. Further investigation suggested that C/EBPalpha IGnTC-activation activity is modulated at a posttranslational level,and that the phosphorylation status of C/EBPalpha may have a crucial effect. Results from studies using adult and cord erythropoietic cells agreed with those derived using the K-562 cell model,with lentiviral expression of C/EBPalpha in CD34(+) hemopoietic cells demonstrating the determining role of C/EBPalpha in the induction of the IGnTC gene as well as in I antigen expression.

BCL-XL Mediates the Strong Selective Advantage of a 20q11.21 Amplification Commonly Found in Human Embryonic Stem Cell Cultures
Summary Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) regularly acquire nonrandom genomic aberrations during culture,raising concerns about their safe therapeutic application. The International Stem Cell Initiative identified a copy number variant (CNV) amplification of chromosome 20q11.21 in 25% of hESC lines displaying a normal karyotype. By comparing four cell lines paired for the presence or absence of this CNV,we show that those containing this amplicon have higher population doubling rates,attributable to enhanced cell survival through resistance to apoptosis. Of the three genes encoded within the minimal amplicon and expressed in hESCs,only overexpression of BCL2L1 (BCL-XL isoform) provides control cells with growth characteristics similar to those of CNV-containing cells,whereas inhibition of BCL-XL suppresses the growth advantage of CNV cells,establishing BCL2L1 as a driver mutation. Amplification of the 20q11.21 region is also detectable in human embryonal carcinoma cell lines and some teratocarcinomas,linking this mutation with malignant transformation.

OCT4 as a target of miR-34a stimulates p63 but inhibits p53 to promote human cell transformation
Human cell transformation is a key step for oncogenic development,which involves multiple pathways; however,the mechanism remains unclear. To test our hypothesis whether cell oncogenic transformation shares some mechanisms with the process of reprogramming non-stem cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC),we studied the relationship among the key factors for promoting or inhibiting iPSC in radiation-transformed human epithelial cell lines derived from different tissues (lung,breast and colon). We unexpectedly found that p63 and OCT4 were highly expressed (accompanied by low expressed p53 and miR-34a) in all transformed cell lines examined when compared with their non-transformed counterparts. We further elucidated the relationship of these factors: the 3p strand of miR-34a directly targeted OCT4 by binding to the 3′ untranslated region (3′-UTR) of OCT4 and,OCT4,in turn,stimulated p63 but inhibited p53 expression by binding to a specific region of the p63 or p53 promoter. Moreover,we revealed that the effects of OCT4 on promoting cell oncogenic transformation were by affecting p63 and p53. These results support that a positive loop exists in human cells: OCT4 upregulation as a consequence of inhibition of miR-34a,promotes p63 but suppresses p53 expression,which further stimulates OCT4 upregulation by downregulating miR-34a. This functional loop contributes significantly to cell transformation and,most likely,also to the iPSC process.

A KRAS-directed transcriptional silencing pathway that mediates the CpG island methylator phenotype.
Approximately 70% of KRAS-positive colorectal cancers (CRCs) have a CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) characterized by aberrant DNA hypermethylation and transcriptional silencing of many genes. The factors involved in,and the mechanistic basis of,CIMP is not understood. Among the CIMP genes are the tumor suppressors p14(ARF),p15(INK4B),and p16(INK4A),encoded by the INK4-ARF locus. In this study,we perform an RNA interference screen and identify ZNF304,a zinc-finger DNA-binding protein,as the pivotal factor required for INK4-ARF silencing and CIMP in CRCs containing activated KRAS. In KRAS-positive human CRC cell lines and tumors,ZNF304 is bound at the promoters of INK4-ARF and other CIMP genes. Promoter-bound ZNF304 recruits a corepressor complex that includes the DNA methyltransferase DNMT1,resulting in DNA hypermethylation and transcriptional silencing. KRAS promotes silencing through upregulation of ZNF304,which drives DNA binding. Finally,we show that ZNF304 also directs transcriptional silencing of INK4-ARF in human embryonic stem cells.

microRNA-mediated survivin control of pluripotency
Understanding the mechanisms that sustain pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) is an active area of research that may prove useful in regenerative medicine and will provide fundamental information relevant to development and cancer. hESCs and cancer cells share the unique ability to proliferate indefinitely and rapidly. Because the protein survivin is uniquely overexpressed in virtually all human cancers and in hESCs,we sought to investigate its role in supporting the distinctive capabilities of these cell types. Results presented here suggest that survivin contributes to the maintenance of pluripotency and that post-transcriptional control of survivin isoform expression is selectively regulated by microRNAs. miR-203 has been extensively studied in human tumors,but has not been characterized in hESCs. We show that miR-203 expression and activity is consistent with the expression and subcellular localization of survivin isoforms that in turn modulate expression of the Oct4 and Nanog transcription factors to sustain pluripotency. This study contributes to understanding of the complex regulatory mechanisms that govern whether hESCs proliferate or commit to lineages. textcopyright 2014 Wiley Periodicals,Inc.
