A specific need for CRKL in p210BCR-ABL-induced transformation of mouse hematopoietic progenitors.
CRKL (CRK-like) is an adapter protein predominantly phosphorylated in cells that express the tyrosine kinase p210(BCR-ABL),the fusion product of a (9;22) chromosomal translocation causative for chronic myeloid leukemia. It has been unclear,however,whether CRKL plays a functional role in p210(BCR-ABL) transformation. Here,we show that CRKL is required for p210(BCR-ABL) to support interleukin-3-independent growth of myeloid progenitor cells and long-term outgrowth of B-lymphoid cells from fetal liver-derived hematopoietic progenitor cells. Furthermore,a synthetic phosphotyrosyl peptide that binds to the CRKL SH2 domain with high affinity blocks association of endogenous CRKL with the p210(BCR-ABL) complex and reduces c-MYC levels in K562 human leukemic cells as well as in mouse hematopoietic cells transformed by p210(BCR-ABL) or the imatinib-resistant mutant T315I. These results indicate that the function of CRKL as an adapter protein is essential for p210(BCR-ABL)-induced transformation.

Cells with hematopoietic activity in the mouse placenta reside in side population.
The discovery of a major hematopoietic stem cell pool in midgestation mouse embryo has defined the placenta as an important hematopoietic anatomical site. In this study,we examined the flow cytometric pattern of mouse placenta cells on embryonic days (E) 10.5 to E15.5,in view of CD45 and c-Kit expression. We also determined which population of these cells shows differentiation potential toward multiple hematopoietic lineages by performing coculture with OP9 stromal cells and colony-forming assay in methylcellulose. Only CD45(+)c-Kit(+) population showed the ability to form hematopoietic colonies including multiple lineages. To distinguish which fraction of placenta cells have the hematopoietic activity,we used GFP transgenic mice in which the fetal part of the placenta is GFP positive and the maternal part is GFP negative. E11.5 and E13.5 CD45(+)c-Kit(+) placental cells that have ability to form hematopoietic colonies are the fetal GFP positive placental cells. E11.5 and E13.5 CD45(+)c-Kit(+) placental cells that have an ability to form hematopoietic colonies mainly reside in Hoechst dye-effluxing side population area (SP). Taken together,in the placenta of mouse embryo,we conclude that SP cells in the CD45(+)c-Kit(+) fetal placental cells have the ability to form hematopoietic colonies.

Serum Inter-$\$-inhibitor activates the Yes tyrosine kinase and YAP/TEAD transcriptional complex in mouse embryonic stem cells.
We have previously demonstrated that the Src family kinase Yes,the Yes-associated protein (YAP) and TEA domain TEAD2 transcription factor pathway are activated by leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and contribute to mouse embryonic stem (mES) cell maintenance of pluripotency and self-renewal. In addition,we have shown that fetal bovine serum (FBS) induces Yes auto-phosphorylation and activation. In the present study we confirm that serum also activates TEAD-dependent transcription in a time- and dose-dependent manner and we identify Inter-α-inhibitor (IαI) as a component in serum capable of activating the Yes/YAP/TEAD pathway by inducing Yes auto-phosphorylation,YAP nuclear localization and TEAD-dependent transcription. The cleaved heavy chain 2 (HC2) sub-component of IαI,is demonstrated to be responsible for this effect. Moreover,IαI is also shown to efficiently increase expression of TEAD-downstream target genes including well-known stem cell factors Nanog and Oct 3/4. IαI is not produced by the ES cells per se but is added to the cells via the cell culture medium containing serum or serum-derived components such as bovine serum albumin (BSA). In conclusion,we describe a novel function of IαI in activating key pluripotency pathways associated with ES cell maintenance and self-renewal.

Use of limiting-dilution type long-term marrow cultures in frequency analysis of marrow-repopulating and spleen colony-forming hematopoietic stem cells in the mouse.
We have developed an in vitro clonal assay of murine hematopoietic precursor cells that form spleen colonies (CFU-S day 12) or produce in vitro clonable progenitors in the marrow (MRA cells) of lethally irradiated mice. The assay is essentially a long-term bone marrow culture in microtiter wells containing marrow-derived stromal feeders" depleted for hematopoietic activity by irradiation. To test the validity of the assay as a quantitative in vitro stem cell assay�

Single-gene transgenic mouse strains for reprogramming adult somatic cells.
We report transgenic mouse models in which three or four reprogramming factors are expressed from a single genomic locus using a drug-inducible transgene. Multiple somatic cell types can be directly reprogrammed to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by culture in doxycycline. Because reprogramming factors are carried on a single polycistronic construct,the mice can be easily maintained,and the transgene can be easily transferred into other genetic backgrounds.

Methods for culturing mouse and human embryonic stem cells
Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) were first derived and cultured almost 30 years ago and ever since have been valuable tools for creating knockout mice and for studying early mammalian development. More recently (1998),human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have been derived from blastocysts,and numerous methods have evolved to culture hESCs in vitro in both complex and defined media. hESCs are especially important at this time as they could potentially be used to treat degenerative diseases and to access the toxicity of new drugs and environmental chemicals. For both human and mouse ESCs,fibroblast feeder layers are often used at some phase in the culturing protocol. The feeders - often mouse embryonic fibroblasts (mEFs) - provide a substrate that increases plating efficiency,helps maintain pluripotency,and facilitates survival and growth of the stem cells. Various protocols for culturing embryonic stem cells from both species are available with newer trends moving toward feeder-free and serum-free culture. The purpose of this chapter is to provide basic protocol information on the isolation of mouse embryonic fibroblasts and establishment of feeder layers,the culture of mESCs on both mEFs and on gelatin in serum-containing medium,and the culture of hESCs in defined media on both mEFs (hESC culture medium) and Matrigel (mTeSR). These basic protocols are intended for researchers wanting to develop stem cell research in their labs. These protocols have been tested in our laboratory and work well. They can be modified and adapted for any relevant user's particular purpose.

Development of humanized culture medium with plant-derived serum replacement for human pluripotent stem cells.
For human embryonic stem cells (ESC) to be used in cell replacement therapies,they must be grown under good manufacturing conditions in a chemically defined medium that lacks animal proteins. This study examined the ability of a newly designed medium containing the plant-derived serum replacement VegetaCell and other reagents of human origin to support undifferentiated growth and pluripotency of human ESC. This medium was tested in several culture systems,using human fibroblasts as a feeder layer or Matrigel in a feeder-free culture. Even under the most stringent feeder-free conditions without conditioned medium,human ESC exhibited an undifferentiated morphology,expressed markers of undifferentiated cells,demonstrated high alkaline phosphatase activity and multilineage differentiation and retained a normal karyotype. Compared with human ESC grown in standard culture conditions,human ESC maintained in humanized VegetaCell medium show longer cell cycles and decreased cell death. The availability of an animal protein-free medium supplemented with the low-cost VegetaCell reagent expands the repertoire of media for culturing human ESC as well as induced pluripotent stem cells for drug testing and cell replacement therapy.
