Angiotensin-(1-7) stimulates hematopoietic progenitor cells in vitro and in vivo.
Effects of angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7),an AngII metabolite,on bone marrow-derived hematopoietic cells were studied. We identified Ang-(1-7) to stimulate proliferation of human CD34(+) and mononuclear cells in vitro. Under in vivo conditions,we monitored proliferation and differentiation of human cord blood mononuclear cells in NOD/SCID mice. Ang-(1-7) stimulated differentially human cells in bone marrow and accumulated them in the spleen. The number of HLA-I(+) and CD34(+) cells in the bone marrow was increased 42-fold and 600-fold,respectively. These results indicate a decisive impact of Ang-(1-7) on hematopoiesis and its promising therapeutic potential in diseases requiring progenitor stimulation.

Protein kinase A inhibitor, H89, enhances survival and clonogenicity of dissociated human embryonic stem cells through Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK) inhibition
H89 inhibits the dissociation-induced phosphorylation of PKA and two substrates of Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK),myosin light chain (MLC2) and myosin phosphatase target subunit 1 (MYPT1),significantly increases cell survival and colony formation,and strongly depresses dissociation-induced cell death and cell blebbing without affecting the pluripotency of hESCs and their differentiation in vitro.

Expansion in vitro of retrovirally marked totipotent hematopoietic stem cells.
A large number of biologic,technological,and clinical studies await the development of procedures that will allow totipotent hematopoietic stem cells to be expanded in vitro. Previous work has suggested that hematopoiesis can be reconstituted using transplants of cells from long-term marrow cultures. We have used retrovirus mediated gene transfer to demonstrate that marked totipotent hematopoietic stem cells are both maintained and can be amplified in such cultures,and then subsequently regenerate and sustain lympho-myeloid hematopoiesis in irradiated recipients. Marrow cells from 5-fluorouracil-treated male mice were infected with a recombinant virus carrying the neomycin resistence gene and seeded onto irradiated adherent layers of pre-established,long-term marrow cultures of female origin. At 4 weeks,cells from individual cultures were transplanted into single or multiple female recipients. Southern blot analysis of hematopoietic tissue 45 days posttransplantation showed retrovirally marked clones common to lymphoid and myeloid tissues in 14 of 23 mice examined. Strikingly,for 3 of 4 long-term cultures,multiple recipients of cells from a single flask showed marrow and thymus repopulation with the same unique retrovirally marked clone. These results establish the feasibility of retroviral-marking techniques to demonstrate the maintenance of totipotent lympho-myeloid stem cells for at least 4 weeks in the long-term marrow culture system and provide the first evidence of their proliferation in vitro. Therefore,such cultures may serve as a starting point for identifying factors that stimulate totipotent hematopoietic stem cell expansion.

Carbon monoxide and nitric oxide mediate cytoskeletal reorganization in microvascular cells via vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein phosphorylation: evidence for blunted responsiveness in diabetes.
OBJECTIVE: We examined the effect of the vasoactive agents carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO) : n the phosphorylation and intracellular redistribution of vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP),a critical actin motor protein required for cell migration that also controls vasodilation and platelet aggregation. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We examined the effect of donor-released CO and NO in endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and platelets from nondiabetic and diabetic subjects and in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMECs) cultured under low (5.5 mmol/l) or high (25 mmol/l) glucose conditions. VASP phosphorylation was evaluated using phosphorylation site-specific antibodies. RESULTS: In control platelets,CO selectively promotes phosphorylation at VASP Ser-157,whereas NO promotes phosphorylation primarily at Ser-157 and also at Ser-239,with maximal responses at 1 min with both agents on Ser-157 and at 15 min on Ser-239 with NO treatment. In diabetic platelets,neither agent resulted in VASP phosphorylation. In nondiabetic EPCs,NO and CO increased phosphorylation at Ser-239 and Ser-157,respectively,but this response was markedly reduced in diabetic EPCs. In endothelial cells cultured under low glucose conditions,both CO and NO induced phosphorylation at Ser-157 and Ser-239; however,this response was completely lost when cells were cultured under high glucose conditions. In control EPCs and in HMECs exposed to low glucose,VASP was redistributed to filopodia-like structures following CO or NO exposure; however,redistribution was dramatically attenuated under high glucose conditions. CONCLUSIONS: Vasoactive gases CO and NO promote cytoskeletal changes through site- and cell type-specific VASP phosphorylation,and in diabetes,blunted responses to these agents may lead to reduced vascular repair and tissue perfusion.

Smad2 Is essential for maintenance of the human and mouse primed pluripotent stem cell state
Human embryonic stem cells and mouse epiblast stem cells represent a primed pluripotent stem cell state that requires TGF-β/activin signaling. TGF-β and/or activin are commonly thought to regulate transcription through both Smad2 and Smad3. However,the different contributions of these two Smads to primed pluripotency and the downstream events that they may regulate remain poorly understood. We addressed the individual roles of Smad2 and Smad3 in the maintenance of primed pluripotency. We found that Smad2,but not Smad3,is required to maintain the undifferentiated pluripotent state. We defined a Smad2 regulatory circuit in human embryonic stem cells and mouse epiblast stem cells,in which Smad2 acts through binding to regulatory promoter sequences to activate Nanog expression while in parallel repressing autocrine bone morphogenetic protein signaling. Increased autocrine bone morphogenetic protein signaling caused by Smad2 down-regulation leads to cell differentiation toward the trophectoderm,mesoderm,and germ cell lineages. Additionally,induction of Cdx2 expression,as a result of decreased Smad2 expression,leads to repression of Oct4 expression,which,together with the decreased Nanog expression,accelerates the loss of pluripotency. These findings reveal that Smad2 is a unique integrator of transcription and signaling events and is essential for the maintenance of the mouse and human primed pluripotent stem cell state.

Mast cells are permissive for rhinovirus replication: potential implications for asthma exacerbations.
BACKGROUND Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) are a major trigger of asthma exacerbations,with the bronchial epithelium being the major site of HRV infection and replication. Mast cells (MCs) play a key role in asthma where their numbers are increased in the bronchial epithelium with increasing disease severity. OBJECTIVE In view of the emerging role of MCs in innate immunity and increased localization to the asthmatic bronchial epithelium,we investigated whether HRV infection of MCs generated innate immune responses which were protective against infection. METHODS The LAD2 MC line or primary human cord blood-derived MCs (CBMCs) were infected with HRV or UV-irradiated HRV at increasing multiplicities of infection (MOI) without or with IFN-β or IFN-λ. After 24 h,innate immune responses were assessed by RT-qPCR and IFN protein release by ELISA. Viral replication was determined by RT-qPCR and virion release by TCID50 assay. RESULTS HRV infection of LAD2 MCs induced expression of IFN-β,IFN-λ and IFN-stimulated genes. However,LAD2 MCs were permissive for HRV replication and release of infectious HRV particles. Similar findings were observed with CBMCs. Neutralization of the type I IFN receptor had minimal effects on viral shedding,suggesting that endogenous type I IFN signalling offered limited protection against HRV. However,augmentation of these responses by exogenous IFN-β,but not IFN-λ,protected MCs against HRV infection. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE MCs are permissive for the replication and release of HRV,which is prevented by exogenous IFN-β treatment. Taken together,these findings suggest a novel mechanism whereby MCs may contribute to HRV-induced asthma exacerbations.
