The aim of this study was to show that conditioned medium might induce transdifferentiation of hair follicle stem cells into urothelial‐like cells. Several conditioned media and culture conditions (skeletal muscle cell conditioned medium, smooth muscle cell conditioned medium, fibroblast conditioned medium, transforming growth factor‐conditioned medium, urothelial cell conditioned medium, and co‐culture of hair follicle stem cells and urothelial cells) were used. The hair follicle stem cells phenotype from rat whisker hair follicles was checked by using flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. Cytokeratins 7, 8, 15 and 18 were used as markers. Urothelial cell conditioned medium increased the expression of urothelial markers (cytokeratin 7, cytokeratin 8, cytokeratin 18), whereas it decreased a hair follicle stem cells marker (cytokeratin 15) after 2 weeks of culture. This process depended on the time of cultivation. This medium was able to sustain the epithelial phenotype of the culture. Other media including a co‐culture system failed to induce similar changes. Smooth muscle conditioned medium resulted in a loss of cells in culture. Hair follicle stem cells are capable of differentiating into urothelial‐like cells in vitro when exposed to a bladder‐specific microenvironment.  相似文献

The purpose of this study is to test whether ectopic expression of Sox‐9 can induce adipose tissue‐derived stem cells (ASCs) to function as real nucleus pulposus (NP) cells in vitro. Adenoviral vectors expressing Sox‐9 were reported to infect the chondroblastic and human disc cells, which resulted in increased Sox‐9 and type II collagen production. ASCs were isolated from rat inguinal adipose pad, characterized, and transduced in vitro with a retroviral vector encoding the Sox‐9 gene. Sox‐9‐engineered ASCs (ASCs/Sox‐9) were induced for the chondrocyte‐like cell differentiation by 3D cultured in alginate beads and TGF‐β3 for 2 weeks. Expression of exogenous Sox‐9 protein was detected. Type II collagen and Aggrecan gene expressions of induced ASCs/Sox‐9 were measured using real‐time PCR; proteoglycans expressions were measured by checking the glycosaminoglycan content and type II collagen production by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Isolated ASCs were CD 29+/CD44+/C‐Kit?/Lin?/CD34?/CD45?. ASCs/Sox‐9 expressed marked increase in exogenous Sox‐9 protein. After induction, type II collagen gene expression was sevenfold higher in mRNA levels, with an approximately twofold increase in protein levels of ASCs/Sox‐9 compared to ASCs. Type II collagen and proteoglycan productions were significantly increased in the ASCs/Sox‐9 compared to the ASCs. In addition, co‐culture of induced ASCs/Sox‐9 with matured NP cells resulted in enhanced increase in proteoglycan and type II collagen production. Constitutive retroviral expression of Sox‐9 could efficiently induce ASCs differentiation into chondrocyte‐like cells. This novel approach may provide a practicable system for a simple and rapid differentiation of ASCs into chondrocyte‐like cells which may be potentially used as a stem cell‐based therapeutic tool for the treatment of degenerative disc diseases. © 2011 Orthopaedic Research Society Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

BackgroundIn humans, lower back pain is one of the most common causes of morbidity. Many studies implicate degeneration of intervertebral discs as the cause. In the normal intervertebral disc, the nucleus pulposus exerts a hydrostatic pressure against the constraining annulus fibrosus, which allows the disc to maintain flexibility between adjacent vertebrae, while absorbing necessary compressive forces. The nucleus pulposus performs this role because of its hydrophilic gel-like structure. The extracellular matrix of the nucleus pulposus is up to 80% hydrated, as a result of large amounts of the aggregating proteoglycan, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG). This proteoglycan is enmeshed in a randomly orientated network of fine collagen Type II (CT2) fibers.Study design and purposeA useful adult tissue-derived stem cell is that from the olfactory mucosa, the organ of smell. These cells, accessible in humans from nasal biopsies, are multipotent and are able to make many cell types from all germ layers. They are easily grown in vitro and can be expanded to large numbers and stored frozen. These qualities indicate the potential for autologous transplantation for disc repair. In this article, using a rat model, we explore the hypothesis that olfactory stem cells can differentiate into a nucleus pulposus chondrocyte phenotype in vitro, as well as in vivo after transplantation into the injured intervertebral disc.Patient sampleFemale rats (14 weeks) were anesthetized with xylazine/ketamine. The abdominal wall was shaved and injected with local anesthetic (lidocaine) before incision. The ventral part of the lumbar spine, including two intervertebral discs, was exposed. Disc degeneration was then induced in the two exposed discs by needle aspiration of the nucleus pulposus. The prominent spina iliaca posterior superior was used as an anatomical landmark for identification of the first disc. Two weeks later, one injured intervertebral disc was exposed in a second, similar, surgery and 20,000 olfactory neurosphere-derived cells were transplanted with a 25-G needle.Outcome measuresIn vitro induction of nucleus pulposus chondrocyte phenotype is measured by the percentage of cells expressing CT2 and CSPG. In vivo, a successful outcome is evidence of engraftment of donor-derived cells and their expression of CT2 and CSPG.MethodsIn this article, we tested two hypotheses: the first that progenitor cells within olfactory neurospheres could be induced to express markers distinctive of the nucleus pulposus when placed in vitro in a coculture experiment. The second hypothesis tested the same induction in genetically labeled transplanted cells within damaged vertebral discs in vivo. The two markers measured are those held by current literature to engender the necessary cushioning characteristics of nucleus pulposus, CT2 and CSPG.ResultsOur experiments demonstrated virtually 100% induction of these two markers in vitro. Also, this induction was achieved in donor-derived cells after delivery to the nucleus pulposus region of animals whose discs had previously been lesioned 2 weeks before transplant.ConclusionsThese results provide a rationale for moving toward more extensive larger animal studies for assessment of regeneration before human trials where relief of symptoms can be more easily assessed.  相似文献

An autoimmune response to herniated nucleus pulposus has been proposed to constitute a pathophysiologic mechanism for inducing sciatica based on the fact that nucleus pulposus under normal conditions is excluded from the development of immunological tolerance. The manifestation of an autoimmune response comprises different steps starting with antigen capture, continuing with activation of T helper (TH) cells and ending with production of autoantibodies. Activated TH cells differentiate into either TH1 cells, predominately producing proinflammatory cytokines such as interferon γ (IFNγ) or a TH2 subset mainly producing anti‐inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin‐4 (IL‐4). The aim of the present study was to examine if exposure of autologous nucleus pulposus (NP) to the immune system for 3 weeks is potent enough to prime TH cells to differentiate into TH2 cells. The study was performed in a pig model allowing the exposure of NP to the immune system. To assess the polarization of TH cells the intracellular production of IFNγ and IL‐4 was measured in T cells by using flow cytometry. The revealed predominant production of IL‐4 together with low production of IFNγ in T cells after NP exposure to the immune system indicates that nucleus pulposus may prime TH cells to develop into IL‐4‐producing TH2 cells after being exposed to the immune system, for example, in association with disc herniation. © 2008 Orthopaedic Research Society.

This study was conducted to investigate the possible effects of nanomicelle curcumin (NMC) on spermatogenesis, sperm parameters and in vitro fertilisation potential. For this purpose, 24 mature male Wistar rats were divided into control and test groups. The animals in test groups received 7.5, 15 and 30 mg kg b.w?1 of NMC (NO = 6 rats in each group). Following 48 days, the DNA integrity of testicular tissues, tubular differentiation (TDI) and spermiogenesis (SPI) indices, sperm parameters and DNA integrity were analysed. Finally, the in vitro fertilisation potential was investigated via evaluating pre‐implantation embryo generation. The NMC diminished the TDI and SPI ratios. The animals in NMC‐received groups exhibited a remarkable (p < .05) reduction in percentage of alive and motile spermatozoa. Moreover, the NMC enhanced the percentage of spermatozoa with decondensed chromatin and elevated the sperm DNA damage ratio. The testicles of NMC‐received groups exhibited severe DNA fragmentation. The percentages of zygote, 2‐cell, blastocysts and hatched embryos generation were decreased in NMC‐received groups compared to control animals. In conclusion, the NMC adversely affects the spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis processes, which in turn results in reducing the sperm quality. Ultimately, decreased sperm quality results in lower pre‐implantation embryo development.  相似文献

The aim of this research was to find a way to differentiate germ cells from umbilical cord Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to support in vitro spermatogenesis. A small piece of Wharton's jelly was cultured in high‐glucose Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium in present of 10% foetal calf serum. After the fourth passage, the cells were isolated and cultured in Sertoli cell‐conditioned medium under induction of two different doses of retinoic acid (10?5, 10?6 m ). The differentiation of MSC to germ‐like cells was evaluated by expression of Oct4, Nanog, Plzf, Stra8 and Prm1 genes during different days of culture through qPCR. The results showed that there were downregulation of Oct4 and Nanog and upregulation of pre‐meiotic germ cell marker (stra8) and haploid cell marker (Prm1) when MSCs are differentiated over time. The expression of Bax gene (an apoptotic marker) was significantly observed in high dosage of retinoic acid (RA). As a result, RA has positive effects on proliferation and differentiation of MSCs, but its effects are related to dosage. The success of this method can introduce umbilical cord MSC as a source of germ cells for treatment of infertility in future.  相似文献
