In vitro differentiation of embryonic stem cells.
Under appropriate conditions in culture,embryonic stem cells will differentiate and form embryoid bodies that have been shown to contain cells of the hematopoietic,endothelial,muscle and neuronal lineages. Many aspects of the lineage-specific differentiation programs observed within the embryoid bodies reflect those found in the embryo,indicating that this model system provides access to early cell populations that develop in a normal fashion. Recent studies involving the differentiation of genetically altered embryonic stem cells highlight the potential of this in vitro differentiation system for defining the function of genes in early development.

High-titer retroviral vectors containing the enhanced green fluorescent protein gene for efficient expression in hematopoietic cells.
Retroviral vectors constitute the most efficient system to deliver and integrate foreign genes into mammalian cells. We have developed a producer cell line that yields high titers of amphotropic retroviral vectors carrying the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene,a codon humanized,red-shifted variant of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene,which can be used as a selectable marker. We have used a hybrid vector that has been shown to efficiently drive gene expression in hematopoietic cells. Virtually all murine and human cell lines and primary human hematopoietic cells tested were transduced with varying efficiency after incubation with vector-containing supernatants. Human CD34(+) cells obtained from cord blood or aphereses products were transduced using a protocol that involves daily addition of vector-containing supernatants for 6 consecutive days. At day 6,up to 16% of the cells expressed EGFP,as assessed by flow cytometry. Sorted EGFP-expressing cells were able to produce fluorescent hematopoietic colonies. EGFP's main advantages are its fast flow cytometry determination and the possibility of cell sorting and simultaneous evaluation of the transduction efficiency along with other phenotypic markers.

Cell death and differentiation
Necroptotic signaling is primed in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected macrophages, but its pathophysiological consequence in disease is restricted.
Mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL)-dependent necroptosis is thought to be implicated in the death of mycobacteria-infected macrophages,reportedly allowing escape and dissemination of the microorganism. Given the consequent interest in developing inhibitors of necroptosis to treat Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection,we used human pharmacologic and murine genetic models to definitively establish the pathophysiological role of necroptosis in Mtb infection. We observed that Mtb infection of macrophages remodeled the intracellular signaling landscape by upregulating MLKL,TNFR1,and ZBP1,whilst downregulating cIAP1,thereby establishing a strong pro-necroptotic milieu. However,blocking necroptosis either by deleting Mlkl or inhibiting RIPK1 had no effect on the survival of infected human or murine macrophages. Consistent with this,MLKL-deficiency or treatment of humanized mice with the RIPK1 inhibitor Nec-1s did not impact on disease outcomes in vivo,with mice displaying lung histopathology and bacterial burdens indistinguishable from controls. Therefore,although the necroptotic pathway is primed by Mtb infection,macrophage necroptosis is ultimately restricted to mitigate disease pathogenesis. We identified cFLIP upregulation that may promote caspase 8-mediated degradation of CYLD,and other necrosome components,as a possible mechanism abrogating Mtb's capacity to coopt necroptotic signaling. Variability in the capacity of these mechanisms to interfere with necroptosis may influence disease severity and could explain the heterogeneity of Mtb infection and disease.

Differentiation stage determines potential of hematopoietic cells for reprogramming into induced pluripotent stem cells.
The reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells upon overexpression of the transcription factors Oct4,Sox2,Klf4 and cMyc is inefficient. It has been assumed that the somatic differentiation state provides a barrier for efficient reprogramming; however,direct evidence for this notion is lacking. Here,we tested the potential of mouse hematopoietic cells at different stages of differentiation to be reprogrammed into iPS cells. We show that hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells give rise to iPS cells up to 300 times more efficiently than terminally differentiated B and T cells do,yielding reprogramming efficiencies of up to 28%. Our data provide evidence that the differentiation stage of the starting cell has a critical influence on the efficiency of reprogramming into iPS cells. Moreover,we identify hematopoietic progenitors as an attractive cell type for applications of iPS cell technology in research and therapy.

Chromatin architecture and transcription factor binding regulate expression of erythrocyte membrane protein genes.
Erythrocyte membrane protein genes serve as excellent models of complex gene locus structure and function,but their study has been complicated by both their large size and their complexity. To begin to understand the intricate interplay of transcription,dynamic chromatin architecture,transcription factor binding,and genomic organization in regulation of erythrocyte membrane protein genes,we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) coupled with microarray analysis and ChIP coupled with massively parallel DNA sequencing in both erythroid and nonerythroid cells. Unexpectedly,most regions of GATA-1 and NF-E2 binding were remote from gene promoters and transcriptional start sites,located primarily in introns. Cooccupancy with FOG-1,SCL,and MTA-2 was found at all regions of GATA-1 binding,with cooccupancy of SCL and MTA-2 also found at regions of NF-E2 binding. Cooccupancy of GATA-1 and NF-E2 was found frequently. A common signature of histone H3 trimethylation at lysine 4,GATA-1,NF-E2,FOG-1,SCL,and MTA-2 binding and consensus GATA-1-E-box binding motifs located 34 to 90 bp away from NF-E2 binding motifs was found frequently in erythroid cell-expressed genes. These results provide insights into our understanding of membrane protein gene regulation in erythropoiesis and the regulation of complex genetic loci in erythroid and nonerythroid cells and identify numerous candidate regions for mutations associated with membrane-linked hemolytic anemia.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase activity identifies a population of human skeletal muscle cells with high myogenic capacities.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH) activity is one hallmark of human bone marrow (BM),umbilical cord blood (UCB),and peripheral blood (PB) primitive progenitors presenting high reconstitution capacities in vivo. In this study,we have identified ALDH(+) cells within human skeletal muscles,and have analyzed their phenotypical and functional characteristics. Immunohistofluorescence analysis of human muscle tissue sections revealed rare endomysial cells. Flow cytometry analysis using the fluorescent substrate of ALDH,Aldefluor,identified brightly stained (ALDH(br)) cells with low side scatter (SSC(lo)),in enzymatically dissociated muscle biopsies,thereafter abbreviated as SMALD(+) (for skeletal muscle ALDH(+)) cells. Phenotypical analysis discriminated two sub-populations according to CD34 expression: SMALD(+)/CD34(-) and SMALD(+)/CD34(+) cells. These sub-populations did not initially express endothelial (CD31),hematopoietic (CD45),and myogenic (CD56) markers. Upon sorting,however,whereas SMALD(+)/CD34(+) cells developed in vitro as a heterogeneous population of CD56(-) cells able to differentiate in adipoblasts,the SMALD(+)/CD34(-) fraction developed in vitro as a highly enriched population of CD56(+) myoblasts able to form myotubes. Moreover,only the SMALD(+)/CD34(-) population maintained a strong myogenic potential in vivo upon intramuscular transplantation. Our results suggest that ALDH activity is a novel marker for a population of new human skeletal muscle progenitors presenting a potential for cell biology and cell therapy.

Bioreactor expansion of human adult bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
Supplementation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) during hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation alleviates complications such as graft-versus-host disease,leading to a speedy recovery of hematopoiesis. To meet this clinical demand,a fast MSC expansion method is required. In the present study,we examined the feasibility of using a rotary bioreactor system to expand MSCs from isolated bone marrow mononuclear cells. The cells were cultured in a rotary bioreactor with Myelocult medium containing a combination of supplementary factors,including stem cell factor and interleukin-3 and -6. After 8 days of culture,total cell numbers,Stro-1(+)CD44(+)CD34(-) MSCs,and CD34(+)CD44(+)Stro-1(-) HSCs were increased 9-,29-,and 8-fold,respectively. Colony-forming efficiency-fibroblast per day of the bioreactor-treated cells was 1.44-fold higher than that of the cells without bioreactor treatment. The bioreactor-expanded MSCs showed expression of primitive MSC markers endoglin (SH2) and vimentin,whereas markers associated with lineage differentiation,including osteocalcin (osteogenesis),type II collagen (chondrogenesis),and C/EBP-alpha (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-alpha) (adipogenesis),were not detected. Upon induction,the bioreactor-expanded MSCs were able to differentiate into osteoblasts,chondrocytes,and adipocytes. We conclude that the rotary bioreactor with the modified Myelocult medium reported in this study may be used to rapidly expand MSCs.

Leukemogenesis induced by wild-type and STI571-resistant BCR/ABL is potently suppressed by C/EBPalpha.
Chronic phase-to-blast crisis transition in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is associated with differentiation arrest and down-regulation of C/EBPalpha,a transcription factor essential for granulocyte differentiation. Patients with CML in blast crisis (CML-BC) became rapidly resistant to therapy with the breakpoint cluster region-Abelson murine leukemia (BCR/ABL) kinase inhibitor imatinib (STI571) because of mutations in the kinase domain that interfere with drug binding. We show here that the restoration of C/EBPalpha activity in STI571-sensitive or -resistant 32D-BCR/ABL cells induced granulocyte differentiation,inhibited proliferation in vitro and in mice,and suppressed leukemogenesis. Moreover,activation of C/EBPalpha eradicated leukemia in 4 of 10 and in 6 of 7 mice injected with STI571-sensitive or -resistant 32D-BCR/ABL cells,respectively. Differentiation induction and proliferation inhibition were required for optimal suppression of leukemogenesis,as indicated by the effects of p42 C/EBPalpha,which were more potent than those of K298E C/EBPalpha,a mutant defective in DNA binding and transcription activation that failed to induce granulocyte differentiation. Activation of C/EBPalpha in blast cells from 4 patients with CML-BC,including one resistant to STI571 and BMS-354825 and carrying the T315I Abl kinase domain mutation,also induced granulocyte differentiation. Thus,these data indicate that C/EBPalpha has potent antileukemia effects even in cells resistant to ATP-binding competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitors,and they portend the development of anti-leukemia therapies that rely on C/EBPalpha activation.

Osteoclastogenesis during infective exacerbations in patients with cystic fibrosis.
RATIONALE: Adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at increased risk of developing osteoporosis. During infective exacerbations,increased production of proinflammatory cytokines and markers of bone resorption have been reported. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to investigate the growth and proliferation of potential osteoclast precursor cells before,during,and after intravenous antibiotic treatment of infective exacerbations in patients with CF. METHODS: Hematopoietic precursor cell growth was examined using colony formation assays using Methocult culture medium. Circulating potential osteoclast precursors were identified using four-color flow cytometry by CD14,CD33,CD34,and CD45 expression. RESULTS: At the start of an infective exacerbation increases in hematopoietic precursor colony formation (15.42 colonies/10(5) cells plated,p = 0.025),proliferation (28.5%,p textless 0.001),and the numbers of circulating potential osteoclast precursors (6.5%,p textless 0.001) were seen in comparison with baseline levels. These increases declined after treatment with intravenous antibiotics to a level close to baseline. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate an increase in the production of potential osteoclast precursors in the peripheral blood during CF infective exacerbations. This may result in increased bone resorption and contribute to bone loss in patients with CF.

High-resolution video monitoring of hematopoietic stem cells cultured in single-cell arrays identifies new features of self-renewal.
To search for new indicators of self-renewing hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs),highly purified populations were isolated from adult mouse marrow,micromanipulated into a specially designed microscopic array,and cultured for 4 days in 300 ng/ml Steel factor,20 ng/ml IL-11,and 1 ng/ml flt3-ligand. During this period,each cell and its progeny were imaged at 3-min intervals by using digital time-lapse photography. Individual clones were then harvested and assayed for HSCs in mice by using a 4-month multilineage repopulation endpoint (textgreater1% contribution to lymphoid and myeloid lineages). In a first experiment,6 of 14 initial cells (43%) and 17 of 61 clones (28%) had HSC activity,demonstrating that HSC self-renewal divisions had occurred in vitro. Characteristics associated with HSC activity included longer cell-cycle times and the absence of uropodia on a majority of cells within the clone during the final 12 h of culture. Combining these criteria maximized the distinction of clones with HSC activity from those without and identified a subset of 27 of the 61 clones. These 27 clones included all 17 clones that had HSC activity; a detection efficiency of 63% (2.26 times more frequently than in the original group). The utility of these characteristics for discriminating HSC-containing clones was confirmed in two independent experiments where all HSC-containing clones were identified at a similar 2- to 3-fold-greater efficiency. These studies illustrate the potential of this monitoring system to detect new features of proliferating HSCs that are predictive of self-renewal divisions.

Sustained exposure to nicotine leads to extramedullary hematopoiesis in the spleen.
The effect of sustained exposure to nicotine,a major constituent of cigarette smoke,on hematopoiesis in the bone marrow (BM) and spleen was evaluated in a murine model. BALB/c mice were exposed to nicotine subcutaneously using 21-day slow-release pellets. Exposure to nicotine had no effect on the proliferation of long-term BM cultures or on their ability to form colonies. However,there was a significant decrease in the generation of lineage-specific progenitor cells,specifically eosinophil (colony-forming unit [CFU]-Eos) progenitors,in the BM of nicotine-exposed mice compared with control mice. Surprisingly,sustained exposure of mice to nicotine was found to induce significant hematopoiesis in the spleen. There was a significant increase in total colony formation as well as eosinophil-,granulocyte-macrophage-,and B-lymphocyte-specific progenitors (CFU-Eos,CFU-GM,and CFU-B,respectively) in nicotine-exposed mice but not in control mice. Sustained exposure to nicotine was associated with significant inhibition of rolling and migration of enriched hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) across BM endothelial cells (BMECs) in vitro as well as decreased expression of beta2 integrin on the surface of these cells. Although sustained exposure to nicotine has only a modest effect on BM hematopoiesis,our studies indicate that it significantly induces extramedullary hematopoiesis in the spleen. Decreased interaction of nicotine-exposed HSPCs with BMECs (i.e.,rolling and migration) may result in altered BM homing of these cells,leading to their seeding and proliferation at extramedullary sites such as the spleen.
