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.

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.

Interleukin-1 regulates hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells in the midgestation mouse fetal liver.
BACKGROUND: Hematopoietic progenitors are generated in the yolk sac and aorta-gonad-mesonephros region during early mouse development. At embryonic day 10.5 the first hematopoietic stem cells emerge in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros. Subsequently,hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors are found in the fetal liver. The fetal liver is a potent hematopoietic site,playing an important role in the expansion and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitors and hematopoietic stem cells. However,little is known concerning the regulation of fetal liver hematopoietic stem cells. In particular,the role of cytokines such as interleukin-1 in the regulation of hematopoietic stem cells in the embryo has been largely unexplored. Recently,we observed that the adult pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 is involved in regulating aorta-gonad-mesonephros hematopoietic progenitor and hematopoietic stem cell activity. Therefore,we set out to investigate whether interleukin-1 also plays a role in regulating fetal liver progenitor cells and hematopoietic stem cells. DESIGN AND METHODS: We examined the interleukin-1 ligand and receptor expression pattern in the fetal liver. The effects of interleukin-1 on hematopoietic progenitor cells and hematopoietic stem cells were studied by FACS and transplantation analyses of fetal liver explants,and in vivo effects on hematopoietic stem cell and progenitors were studied in Il1r1(-/-) embryos. RESULTS: We show that fetal liver hematopoietic progenitor cells express the IL-1RI and that interleukin-1 increases fetal liver hematopoiesis,progenitor cell activity and promotes hematopoietic cell survival. Moreover,we show that in Il1r1(-/-) embryos,hematopoietic stem cell activity is impaired and myeloid progenitor activity is increased. CONCLUSIONS: The IL-1 ligand and receptor are expressed in the midgestation liver and act in the physiological regulation of fetal liver hematopoietic progenitor cells and hematopoietic stem cells.

MOZ-Mediated Repression of p16 INK 4 a Is Critical for the Self-Renewal of Neural and Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Although inhibition of p16(INK4a) expression is critical to preserve the proliferative capacity of stem cells,the molecular mechanisms responsible for silencing p16(INK4a) expression remain poorly characterized. Here,we show that the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) monocytic leukemia zinc finger protein (MOZ) controls the proliferation of both hematopoietic and neural stem cells by modulating the transcriptional repression of p16(INK4a) . In the absence of the HAT activity of MOZ,expression of p16(INK4a) is upregulated in progenitor and stem cells,inducing an early entrance into replicative senescence. Genetic deletion of p16(INK4a) reverses the proliferative defect in both Moz(HAT) (-) (/) (-) hematopoietic and neural progenitors. Our results suggest a critical requirement for MOZ HAT activity to silence p16(INK4a) expression and to protect stem cells from early entrance into replicative senescence.

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.

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.
