Histological and biological developmental characterization of the human cerebellar cortex

The aim of this study was to investigate the histological and biological features of the human cerebellar cortex development and differentiation. We analyzed 52 brains of fetal and infant death victims, aged from 17 gestational weeks to 12th postnatal month. In particular, in the cerebellar cortex at different ages we evaluated, besides the structural aspects, the expression of several biomarkers implicated in proliferative processes (c-fos, PCNA and apoptosis). We observed morphological patterns progressively evolving every month, from the indefinite structure of the second gestational trimester to the four-layered structure (external granular layer, molecular layer, Purkinje cell layer, internal granular layer) of the late fetal cortex and subsequently to the three-layered postnatal definitive morphology, due to involution of the external granular layer. The evaluation of the biological features of the cerebellar cortex showed high proliferative activity mainly confined to the transient external granular layer in prenatal life, and high apoptotic index after birth. Thus, the histological examination, better with the support of biomarker investigations, allows with accuracy to describe the dynamic sequence of steps that occur in human cerebellar cortex development and to establish in each case the age, namely the pre- or postnatal month of life. Consequently, we can diagnose delayed or altered processes of differentiation during the development of the human cerebellar cortex.     

不同促细胞分裂因子对人神经干细胞定向分化的影响

目的观察不同促细胞分裂因子对人神经干细胞(NSCs)增殖及定向分化的影响。方法对人NSCs用无血清DMEM培养基行原代培养的同时,分别加入表皮生长因子(EGF)、碱性成纤维生长因子(bFGF)、神经生长因子(NGF)、维甲酸(RA)等因子,观察其对NSCs定向分化的作用。结果EGF培养的NSCs,克隆球形成慢且较松散,经血清诱导分化后,主要为星形胶质细胞,仅有少数神经元。而bFGF培养的NSCs则生长良好。在加血清诱导分化后,不同浓度bFGF培养的NSCs分化的细胞不同。bFGF与EGF共同培养的NSCs,其生长及神经球形成良好。在加血清诱导分化后,分化的神经细胞比例更接近脑内神经细胞的组分。NGF对神经球的形成无明显影响,但可促使其向神经元分化。RA使神经克隆球形成,可使NSCs直接分化为神经元细胞的比例明显增加。结论不同促细胞分裂因子对人NSCs的增殖及定向分化均有一定影响。

Particulate endocytosis mediates biological responses of human mesenchymal stem cells to titanium wear debris.

Continual loading and articulation cycles undergone by metallic (e.g., titanium) alloy arthroplasty prostheses lead to liberation of a large number of metallic debris particulates, which have long been implicated as a primary cause of periprosthetic osteolysis and postarthroplasty aseptic implant loosening. Long-term stability of total joint replacement prostheses relies on proper integration between implant biomaterial and osseous tissue, and factors that interfere with this integration are likely to cause osteolysis. Because multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) located adjacent to the implant have an osteoprogenitor function and are critical contributors to osseous tissue integrity, when their functions or activities are compromised, osteolysis will most likely occur. To date, it is not certain or sufficiently confirmed whether MSCs endocytose titanium particles, and if so, whether particulate endocytosis has any effect on cellular responses to wear debris. This study seeks to clarify the phenomenon of titanium endocytosis by human MSCs (hMSCs), and investigates the influence of endocytosis on their activities. hMSCs incubated with commercially pure titanium particles exhibited internalized particles, as observed by scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy, with time-dependent reduction in the number of extracellular particles. Particulate endocytosis was associated with reduced rates of cellular proliferation and cell-substrate adhesion, suppressed osteogenic differentiation, and increased rate of apoptosis. These cellular effects of exposure to titanium particles were reduced when endocytosis was inhibited by treatment with cytochalasin D, and no significant effect was seen when hMSCs were treated only with conditioned medium obtained from particulate-treated cells. These findings strongly suggest that the biological responses of hMSCs to wear debris are triggered primarily by the direct endocytosis of titanium particulates, and not mediated by secreted soluble factors. In this manner, therapeutical approaches that suppress particle endocytosis could reduce the bioreactivity of hMSCs to particulates, and enhance long-term orthopedic implant prognosis by minimizing wear-debris periprosthethic osteolysis.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours: a regular origin in the muscularis propria, but an extremely diverse gross presentation

Background Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are thought to arise from the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs). ICCs form a network surrounding the myenteric plexus and between-muscle fibres of the muscularis propria of the tubular GI tract. The cell of origin of so-called extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumours (EGISTs) is not known.Aim and methods To study the diversity of gross presentation of GISTs and to critically assess the incidence of EGISTs and their relationship to mural GISTs, a total of 200 neoplasms with typical morphologic and immunohistochemical features of GISTs were reviewed, looking for any degree of association with the muscularis propria of the gut wall.Results There were 130 gastric (65%), 9 duodenal (4.5%), 48 small intestinal (24%), 9 colorectal (4.5%), 1 appendiceal (0.5%) and 3 unclassifiable GISTs (1.5%). Fourteen cases (7%) were initially submitted as EGISTs (four mesenteric, four omental, one pararectal/prostatic, one pelvic/Douglas, one perivesical, one located between root of mesentery and tail of pancreas, one involving the mesentery, omentum and abdominal wall extensively and one located between liver and stomach). After critical re-evaluation of surgical reports and remote clinical history and a careful search for residual muscular tissue from the gut wall in the tumour pseudocapsule (in some cases supported by desmin immunoreactivity), it was possible to reclassify most of these cases (11/14) as either GISTs with extensive extramural growth resulting in loss of contact to the external muscle coat of the gut (8/14) or as metastases from an inoperable GIST (2/14) or from a previously resected deceptively benign tumour (1/14).Conclusion EGISTs are probably rarer than previously reported (1.5% or less in this study). We concluded that most so-called EGISTs represent apparent EGISTs that should have arisen from the outermost muscle coat, but have lost their contact to the point of origin due to extensive extramural growth pattern. From a surgical point of view, it is crucial to document and mark any focal attachment or adhesions to the gut wall noticed during surgery for an apparent EGIST. In contrast to most other neoplasms, GISTs should be defined by virtue of any degree of association with the muscularis propria (no matter how minimal), but not by localisation of the bulk of the tumour.
