Identification of NUB1 as a suppressor of mutant Huntingtin toxicity via enhanced protein clearance
Huntington's disease is caused by expanded CAG repeats in HTT,conferring toxic gain of function on mutant HTT (mHTT) protein. Reducing mHTT amounts is postulated as a strategy for therapeutic intervention. We conducted genome-wide RNA interference screens for genes modifying mHTT abundance and identified 13 hits. We tested 10 in vivo in a Drosophila melanogaster Huntington's disease model,and 6 exhibited activity consistent with the in vitro screening results. Among these,negative regulator of ubiquitin-like protein 1 (NUB1) overexpression lowered mHTT in neuronal models and rescued mHTT-induced death. NUB1 reduces mHTT amounts by enhancing polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of mHTT protein. The process requires CUL3 and the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 necessary for CUL3 activation. As a potential approach to modulating NUB1 for treatment,interferon-β lowered mHTT and rescued neuronal toxicity through induction of NUB1. Thus,we have identified genes modifying endogenous mHTT using high-throughput screening and demonstrate NUB1 as an exemplar entry point for therapeutic intervention of Huntington's disease.

Potential of Herpesvirus Saimiri-Based Vectors To Reprogram a Somatic Ewing's Sarcoma Family Tumor Cell Line
Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS) infects a range of human cell types with high efficiency. Upon infection,the viral genome can persist as high-copy-number,circular,nonintegrated episomes that segregate to progeny cells upon division. This allows HVS-based vectors to stably transduce a dividing cell population and provide sustained transgene expression in vitro and in vivo. Moreover,the HVS episome is able to persist and provide prolonged transgene expression during in vitro differentiation of mouse and human hemopoietic progenitor cells. Together,these properties are advantageous for induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology,whereby stem cell-like cells are generated from adult somatic cells by exogenous expression of specific reprogramming factors. Here we assess the potential of HVS-based vectors for the generation of induced pluripotent cancer stem-like cells (iPCs). We demonstrate that HVS-based exogenous delivery of Oct4,Nanog,and Lin28 can reprogram the Ewing's sarcoma family tumor cell line A673 to produce stem cell-like colonies that can grow under feeder-free stem cell culture conditions. Further analysis of the HVS-derived putative iPCs showed some degree of reprogramming into a stem cell-like state. Specifically,the putative iPCs had a number of embryonic stem cell characteristics,staining positive for alkaline phosphatase and SSEA4,in addition to expressing elevated levels of pluripotent marker genes involved in proliferation and self-renewal. However,differentiation trials suggest that although the HVS-derived putative iPCs are capable of differentiation toward the ectodermal lineage,they do not exhibit pluripotency. Therefore,they are hereby termed induced multipotent cancer cells.

A human embryonic stem cell line adapted for high throughput screening
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be differentiated into multiple cell types with great therapeutic potential. However,optimizing the often multi-week cultures to obtain sufficient differentiated cell yields has been in part limited by the high variability of even parallel hESC differentiation cultures. We describe the isolation and features of a subline of CA1 hESCs (CA1S) that display a very high 25% cloning efficiency while retaining many properties of the parental hESCs,including being karyotypically normal and their ability to generate teratomas containing all three germ layers. Although more detailed analysis revealed that CA1S cells have a 3.8 Mb genomic duplication on chromosome 20,they remain highly useful. In particular,CA1S cells are readily expanded at high yields in culture and possess greatly reduced well-to-well variation even when seeded at 100 cells/well. Thus,108 CA1S cells can be generated within one week from 106 cells to seed 106 wells. We determined that CA1S cells have the capacity to follow established in vitro differentiation protocols to pancreatic progenitors and subsequent hormone-positive cell types and used CA1S cells to explore definitive endoderm induction in a high performance screen (Z-factor = 0.97). This system revealed that CA1S cells do not require WNT3A to efficiently form definitive endoderm,a finding that was confirmed with H1 hESCs,although H1 cells did show modest benefits of high WNT3A doses. Proliferative index measurements of CA1S cells were shown to rapidly reflect their differentiation status in a high throughput system. Though results obtained with CA1S cells will need to be confirmed using conventional hESC lines,these cells should ease the development of optimized hESC growth and differentiation protocols. In particular,they should limit the more arduous secondary screens using hESCs to a smaller number of variables and doses. Biotechnol.

The role of SIRT6 protein in aging and reprogramming of human induced pluripotent stem cells
Aging is known to be the single most important risk factor for multiple diseases. Sirtuin 6,or SIRT6,has recently been identified as a critical regulator of transcription,genome stability,telomere integrity,DNA repair,and metabolic homeostasis. A knockout mouse model of SIRT6 has displayed dramatic phenotypes of accelerated aging. In keeping with its role in aging,we demonstrated that human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) from older human subjects were more resistant to reprogramming by classic Yamanaka factors than those from younger human subjects,but the addition of SIRT6 during reprogramming improved such efficiency in older HDFs substantially. Despite the importance of SIRT6,little is known about the molecular mechanism of its regulation. We show,for the first,time posttranscriptional regulation of SIRT6 by miR-766 and inverse correlation in the expression of this microRNA in HDFs from different age groups. Our results suggest that SIRT6 regulates miR-766 transcription via a feedback regulatory loop,which has implications for the modulation of SIRT6 expression in reprogramming of aging cells.

Transcriptional and epigenetic dynamics during specification of human embryonic stem cells
Differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) provides a unique opportunity to study the regulatory mechanisms that facilitate cellular transitions in a human context. To that end,we performed comprehensive transcriptional and epigenetic profiling of populations derived through directed differentiation of hESCs representing each of the three embryonic germ layers. Integration of whole-genome bisulfite sequencing,chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing,and RNA sequencing reveals unique events associated with specification toward each lineage. Lineage-specific dynamic alterations in DNA methylation and H3K4me1 are evident at putative distal regulatory elements that are frequently bound by pluripotency factors in the undifferentiated hESCs. In addition,we identified germ-layer-specific H3K27me3 enrichment at sites exhibiting high DNA methylation in the undifferentiated state. A better understanding of these initial specification events will facilitate identification of deficiencies in current approaches,leading to more faithful differentiation strategies as well as providing insights into the rewiring of human regulatory programs during cellular transitions. ?? 2013 Elsevier Inc.

Improved cell therapy protocols for Parkinson's disease based on differentiation efficiency and safety of hESC-, hiPSC-, and non-human primate iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons
The main motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease are due to the loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the ventral midbrain (VM). For the future treatment of Parkinson's disease with cell transplantation it is important to develop efficient differentiation methods for production of human iPSCs and hESCs-derived midbrain-type DA neurons. Here we describe an efficient differentiation and sorting strategy for DA neurons from both human ES/iPS cells and non-human primate iPSCs. The use of non-human primate iPSCs for neuronal differentiation and autologous transplantation is important for preclinical evaluation of safety and efficacy of stem cell-derived DA neurons. The aim of this study was to improve the safety of human- and non-human primate iPSC (PiPSC)-derived DA neurons. According to our results,NCAM(+) /CD29(low) sorting enriched VM DA neurons from pluripotent stem cell-derived neural cell populations. NCAM(+) /CD29(low) DA neurons were positive for FOXA2/TH and EN1/TH and this cell population had increased expression levels of FOXA2,LMX1A,TH,GIRK2,PITX3,EN1,NURR1 mRNA compared to unsorted neural cell populations. PiPSC-derived NCAM(+) /CD29(low) DA neurons were able to restore motor function of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesioned rats 16 weeks after transplantation. The transplanted sorted cells also integrated in the rodent brain tissue,with robust TH+/hNCAM+ neuritic innervation of the host striatum. One year after autologous transplantation,the primate iPSC-derived neural cells survived in the striatum of one primate without any immunosuppression. These neural cell grafts contained FOXA2/TH-positive neurons in the graft site. This is an important proof of concept for the feasibility and safety of iPSC-derived cell transplantation therapies in the future.

Simple suspension culture system of human iPS cells maintaining their pluripotency for cardiac cell sheet engineering.
In this study,a simple three-dimensional (3D) suspension culture method for the expansion and cardiac differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) is reported. The culture methods were easily adapted from two-dimensional (2D) to 3D culture without any additional manipulations. When hiPSCs were directly applied to 3D culture from 2D in a single-cell suspension,only a few aggregated cells were observed. However,after 3 days,culture of the small hiPSC aggregates in a spinner flask at the optimal agitation rate created aggregates which were capable of cell passages from the single-cell suspension. Cell numbers increased to approximately 10-fold after 12 days of culture. The undifferentiated state of expanded hiPSCs was confirmed by flow cytometry,immunocytochemistry and quantitative RT-PCR,and the hiPSCs differentiated into three germ layers. When the hiPSCs were subsequently cultured in a flask using cardiac differentiation medium,expression of cardiac cell-specific genes and beating cardiomyocytes were observed. Furthermore,the culture of hiPSCs on Matrigel-coated dishes with serum-free medium containing activin A,BMP4 and FGF-2 enabled it to generate robust spontaneous beating cardiomyocytes and these cells expressed several cardiac cell-related genes,including HCN4,MLC-2a and MLC-2v. This suggests that the expanded hiPSCs might maintain the potential to differentiate into several types of cardiomyocytes,including pacemakers. Moreover,when cardiac cell sheets were fabricated using differentiated cardiomyocytes,they beat spontaneously and synchronously,indicating electrically communicative tissue. This simple culture system might enable the generation of sufficient amounts of beating cardiomyocytes for use in cardiac regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

Large-scale production of mature neurons from human pluripotent stem cells in a three-dimensional suspension culture system
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) offer a renewable source of cells that can be expanded indefinitely and differentiated into virtually any type of cell in the human body,including neurons. This opens up unprecedented possibilities to study neuronal cell and developmental biology and cellular pathology of the nervous system,provides a platform for the screening of chemical libraries that affect these processes,and offers a potential source of transplantable cells for regenerative approaches to neurological disease. However,defining protocols that permit a large number and high yield of neurons has proved difficult. We present differentiation protocols for the generation of distinct subtypes of neurons in a highly reproducible manner,with minimal experiment-to-experiment variation. These neurons form synapses with neighboring cells,exhibit spontaneous electrical activity,and respond appropriately to depolarization. hPSC-derived neurons exhibit a high degree of maturation and survive in culture for up to 4-5 months,even without astrocyte feeder layers.

N-Acetyl Cysteine May Support Dopamine Neurons in Parkinson's Disease: Preliminary Clinical and Cell Line Data.
BACKGOUND The purpose of this study was to assess the biological and clinical effects of n-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) in Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS The overarching goal of this pilot study was to generate additional data about potentially protective properties of NAC in PD,using an in vitro and in vivo approach. In preparation for the clinical study we performed a cell tissue culture study with human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived midbrain dopamine (mDA) neurons that were treated with rotenone as a model for PD. The primary outcome in the cell tissue cultures was the number of cells that survived the insult with the neurotoxin rotenone. In the clinical study,patients continued their standard of care and were randomized to receive either daily NAC or were a waitlist control. Patients were evaluated before and after 3 months of receiving the NAC with DaTscan to measure dopamine transporter (DAT) binding and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) to measure clinical symptoms. RESULTS The cell line study showed that NAC exposure resulted in significantly more mDA neurons surviving after exposure to rotenone compared to no NAC,consistent with the protective effects of NAC previously observed. The clinical study showed significantly increased DAT binding in the caudate and putamen (mean increase ranging from 4.4% to 7.8%; ptextless0.05 for all values) in the PD group treated with NAC,and no measurable changes in the control group. UPDRS scores were also significantly improved in the NAC group (mean improvement of 12.9%,p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The results of this preliminary study demonstrate for the first time a potential direct effect of NAC on the dopamine system in PD patients,and this observation may be associated with positive clinical effects. A large-scale clinical trial to test the therapeutic efficacy of NAC in this population and to better elucidate the mechanism of action is warranted.

Dimethyloxaloylglycine promotes the angiogenic activity of mesenchymal stem cells derived from iPSCs via activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway for bone regeneration
The vascularization of tissue-engineered bone is a prerequisite step for the successful repair of bone defects. Hypoxia inducible factor-1$$ (HIF-1$$) plays an essential role in angiogenesis-osteogenesis coupling during bone regeneration and can activate the expression of angiogenic factors in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Dimethyloxaloylglycine (DMOG) is an angiogenic small molecule that can inhibit prolyl hydroxylase (PHD) enzymes and thus regulate the stability of HIF-1$$ in cells at normal oxygen tension. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived MSCs (hiPSC-MSCs) are promising alternatives for stem cell therapy. In this study,we evaluated the effect of DMOG on promoting hiPSC-MSCs angiogenesis in tissue-engineered bone and simultaneously explored the underlying mechanisms in vitro. The effectiveness of DMOG in improving the expression of HIF-1$$ and its downstream angiogenic genes in hiPSC-MSCs demonstrated that DMOG significantly enhanced the gene and protein expression profiles of angiogenic-related factors in hiPSC-MSCs by sustaining the expression of HIF-1$$. Further analysis showed that DMOG-stimulated hiPSC-MSCs angiogenesis was associated with the phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt) and with an increase in VEGF production. The effects could be blocked by the addition of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002. In a critical-sized calvarial defect model in rats,DMOG-treated hiPSC-MSCs showed markedly improved angiogenic capacity in the tissue-engineered bone,leading to bone regeneration. Collectively,the results indicate that DMOG,via activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway,promotes the angiogenesis of hiPSC-MSCs in tissue-engineered bone for bone defect repair and that DMOG-treated hiPSC-MSCs can be exploited as a potential therapeutic tool in bone regeneration.
