Isolation of human and mouse myeloid-derived suppressor cells for metabolic analysis.
Metabolic reprogramming is associated with myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) immunosuppressive function. Here,we outline the process for acquiring MDSCs from human and murine sources for subsequent analysis of fatty acid oxidation,oxidative phosphorylation,and glycolysis using the Seahorse XFe 96 Analyzer. Murine MDSCs can be isolated directly from tumor-bearing mice or derived through IL-6 and GM-CSF culture of bone marrow cells from non-tumor-bearing mice. To generate human MDSCs,peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) can be cultured with IL-6 and GM-CSF. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol,please refer to Mohammadpour et al. (2021).

Chemically defined serum-free and xeno-free media for multiple cell lineages.
Cell culture is one of the most common methods used to recapitulate a human disease environment in a laboratory setting. Cell culture techniques are used to grow and maintain cells of various types including those derived from primary tissues,such as stem cells and cancer tumors. However,a major confounding factor with cell culture is the use of serum and animal (xeno) products in the media. The addition of animal products introduces batch and lot variations that lead to experimental variability,confounds studies with therapeutic outcomes for cultured cells,and represents a major cost associated with cell culture. Here we report a commercially available serum-free,albumin-free,and xeno free (XF) media (Neuro-Pure(TM)) that is more cost-effective than other commercial medias. Neuro-Pure was used to maintain and differentiate various cells of neuronal lineages,fibroblasts,as well as specific cancer cell lines; without the use of contaminants such serum,albumin,and animal products. Neuro-Pure allows for a controlled and reproducible cell culture environment that is applicable to translational medicine and general tissue culture.

Characterization of mouse lymphohematopoietic stem cells lacking spleen colony-forming activity.
The classical definition of lymphohematopoietic stem cells (LHSC),the most primitive progenitors of all blood cells,requires that they have the capacity for self-renewal and for the long-term production of all blood cell lineages. However,other characteristics of LHSC have been debated. Our previous data suggested that mouse LHSC are very slowly proliferating cells that generate delayed multilineage engraftment,while radioprotection" (rapid engraftment that will prevent early death from radiation-induced marrow aplasia) results from more committed progenitors.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1a1 is dispensable for stem cell function in the mouse hematopoietic and nervous systems.
High levels of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity have been proposed to be a common feature of stem cells. Adult hematopoietic,neural,and cancer stem cells have all been reported to have high ALDH activity,detected using Aldefluor,a fluorogenic substrate for ALDH. This activity has been attributed to Aldh1a1,an enzyme that is expressed at high levels in stem cells and that has been suggested to regulate stem cell function. Nonetheless,Aldh1a1 function in stem cells has never been tested genetically. We observed that Aldh1a1 was preferentially expressed in mouse hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and expression increased with age. Hematopoietic cells from Aldh1a1-deficient mice exhibited increased sensitivity to cyclophosphamide in a non-cell-autonomous manner,consistent with its role in cyclophosphamide metabolism in the liver. However,Aldh1a1 deficiency did not affect hematopoiesis,HSC function,or the capacity to reconstitute irradiated recipients in young or old adult mice. Aldh1a1 deficiency also did not affect Aldefluor staining of hematopoietic cells. Finally,Aldh1a1 deficiency did not affect the function of stem cells from the adult central or peripheral nervous systems. Aldh1a1 is not a critical regulator of adult stem cell function or Aldefluor staining in mice.

Three-dimensional culture for expansion and differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells.
Differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells typically requires cell-cell aggregation in the form of embryoid bodies (EBs). This process is not very well controlled and final cell numbers can be limited by EB agglomeration and the inability to drive differentiation towards a desired cell type. This study compares three-dimensional (3D) fibrin culture to conventional two-dimensional (2D) suspension culture and to culture in a semisolid methylcellulose medium solution. Two types of fibrin culture were evaluated,including a PEGylated fibrin gel. PEGylation with a difunctional PEG derivative retarded fibrinogen migration during through sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) as a result of crosslinking,similarly,degradation was slowed in the PEGylated gel. ES cell proliferation was higher in both the fibrin and PEGylated fibrin gels versus 2D and methylcellulose controls. FACS analysis and real-time-PCR revealed differences in patterns of differentiation for the various culture systems. Culture in PEGylated fibrin or methylcellulose culture demonstrated features characteristic of less extensive differentiation relative to fibrin and 2D culture as evidenced by the transcription factor Oct-4. Fibrin gels showed gene and protein expression similar to that in 2D culture. Both fibrin and 2D cultures demonstrated statistically greater cell numbers positive for the vascular mesoderm marker,VE-cadherin.

Lentiviral vectors containing an enhancer-less ubiquitously acting chromatin opening element (UCOE) provide highly reproducible and stable transgene expression in hematopoietic cells.
Ubiquitously acting chromatin opening elements (UCOEs) consist of methylation-free CpG islands encompassing dual divergently transcribed promoters of housekeeping genes that have been shown to confer resistance to transcriptional silencing and to produce consistent and stable transgene expression in tissue culture systems. To develop improved strategies for hematopoietic cell gene therapy,we have assessed the potential of the novel human HNRPA2B1-CBX3 UCOE (A2UCOE) within the context of a self-inactivating (SIN) lentiviral vector. Unlike viral promoters,the enhancer-less A2UCOE gave rise to populations of cells that expressed a reporter transgene at a highly reproducible level. The efficiency of expression per vector genome was also markedly increased in vivo compared with vectors incorporating either spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV) or cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoters,suggesting a relative resistance to silencing. Furthermore,an A2UCOE-IL2RG vector fully restored the IL-2 signaling pathway within IL2RG-deficient human cells in vitro and successfully rescued the X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1) phenotype in a mouse model of this disease. These data indicate that the A2UCOE displays highly reliable transcriptional activity within a lentiviral vector,largely overcoming insertion-site position effects and giving rise to therapeutically relevant levels of gene expression. These properties are achieved in the absence of classic enhancer activity and therefore may confer a high safety profile.
