In vitro differentiation of human adipose-derived adult stromal cells into neuron-like cells in hippocampal astrocyte conditioned medium

BACKGROUND: At present, researches on differentiating from human adipose-derived adult stromal cells (hADASC) to neuron-like cells are focus on inducing by artificial-synthetic compound solution; however, hippocampal astrocyte conditioned medium (HCAM) can induce in vitro differentiation from hADASC to neuron-like cells is still unclear. OBJECTIVE: To observe whether HCAM can induce in vitro differentiation from hADASC to neuron-like cells. DESIGN: Randomized control study. SETTING: Department of Neurology, Taixing People's Hospital; Central Laboratory, North China Coal Medical College. MATERIALS: Donor of adipose tissue was donated by female volunteers suffering from caesarean section in the department of obstetrics & gynecology in our hospital and aged 20－35 years. Adipose tissue was collected from subcutaneous tissue of abdomen during the operation. In addition, 8 male newborn Wistar rats within 24 hours with average body mass of 20 g were provided by Animal Institute of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Rabbit-anti-human Nestin polyclonal antibody, rabbit-anti-human glial fibriliary acidic protein (GFAP) polyclonal antibody, rabbit-anti-human neuro-specific enolase polyclonal antibody and mouse-anti-human microtubal associated protein 2 (MAP-2) polyclonal antibody were provided by Wuhan Boster Company. METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Central Laboratory of North China Coal Medical College from October 2004 to June 2005. hADASC was cultured with HCAM and its growth and morphological changes were observed under inverted phase contrast microscope. Immunocytochemistry, immunofluorescence and Western blotting were used to evaluate the expressions of Nestin, which was a specific sign of nerve precursor, neuro-specific enolase and MAP-2, which was a specific sign of nerve cell, and GFAP, which was a specific sign of neuroglial cells. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Nestin, which was a specific sign of nerve precursor, neuro-specific enolase and MAP-2, which was a specific sign of nerve cell, and GFAP, which was a specific sign of neuroglial cells. RESULTS: On the 3rd day of culture, partial hADASC started deformation from slender shuttle-shape cells to neuron-like cells. It suggested that cells stretched out apophysis, which were mainly double-pole or multiple-pole cells. Five days later, immunohistochemical detection suggested that expression of Nestin (10.5±0.037) was found out in cells; meanwhile, expressions of GFAP (38.4±0.052) and neuro-specific enolase (NSE) (15.7±0.023) were also found out in cells; however, expression of MAP-2 was not observed. Western blot indicated that, 5 days after effect of HCAM, Nestin was found out in hADASC; meanwhile, expressions of GFAP and neuro-specific enolase were also found out; however, expression of MAP-2 was not observed. CONCLUSION: HCAM can induce the differentiation from hADASC to neuron-like cells in vitro.

The effect of protein restriction on the severity and recovery from ischemic renal failure

The effects of chronic dietary protein restriction on ischemic renal failure were evaluated in rats subjected to 90 min of bilateral renal clamping. The rats were kept on either 20% casein (regular) diet or casein-free (protein-free) diet 10 days before and 21 days after renal injury. Rats on regular protein diet showed higher levels of BUN and serum creatinine and had a lower inulin clearance (microliter/min/100 g BW) than animals on protein-free diet (289 +/- 34 vs 582 +/- 103, p less than 0.05) 2 days after ischemia. However, the inulin clearance measured 21 days following ischemia was significantly higher in rats on regular diet (1468 +/- 181) than those maintained on protein-free diet after ischemia (560 +/- 167). When unilateral 90 min ischemia was performed in rats on regular diet, the postischemic kidneys showed an incomplete recovery of the inulin clearance (226 +/- 35) compared to the contralateral kidney (900 +/- 116), 21 days after ischemia; whereas in rats on a protein-free diet the inulin clearance averaged 106 +/- 17 in the postischemic kidney and 345 +/- 41 in the right kidney. When left renal ischemia and contralateral nephrectomy were performed, the inulin clearance was 1149 +/- 74 in rats on regular diet and 534 +/- 60 in rats on protein-free diet, 21 days following renal insult. These results suggest that protein restriction can play a protective role against renal ischemia in an initial phase, but it limits the late recovery from ischemia. The presence of a normal contralateral kidney inhibits the functional recovery of the postischemic kidney and a contralateral nephrectomy produces a compensatory functional hypertrophy of the postischemic kidney, even in rats on a protein-free diet.     

DIURNAL RHYTHM OF SERUM gM-SEMINOPROTEIN IN PATIENTS WITH UNTREATED PROSTATE CANCER: COMPARISON OF THE ORIGINAL AND REVISED ASSAY KITS

To compare levels of y-seminoprotein (gM-Sm) assayed by original and revised assay systems, blood was obtained every 4 h over a 32-h period from 8 untreated prostate cancer patients. Serum levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) were also examined. In 6 patients, the coefficient of variation (CV) of the serum levels assayed by the revised assay was significantly different from that of the intra-assay samples. In contrast, the CV of the gM-Sm serum levels assayed by the original assay differed significantly from that of the intra-assay samples in only 2 patients. The fluctuations in gM-Sm assayed by the revised assay were, at least in part, similar to those of the PSA serum levels in all patients. The mean CV of the gM-Sm serum levels assayed by the revised assay was significantly larger than that for levels measured by the original assay. After treatment, the rate of decrease in gM-Sm serum levels determined by the original assay differed from that in the serum levels of PSA and prostatic acid phosphatase. These results indicate that the original assay for gM-Sm do not detect diurnal differences in serum gM-Sm levels, even at levels below 20 ng/ml. These observations indicate that the analysis of data obtained using the original gM-Sm kit should be interpreted with caution.     

Isolation and preliminary characterization of ACNU-resistant sublines of rat brain tumors in vivo.

Two variant cells lines resistant to the nitrosourea derivative ACNU ((1-4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)-methyl-3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosourea hydrochloride), namely C6/ACNU and 9L/ACNU, were selected in vivo from rat brain tumors. Stable resistance to ACNU proved to be a characteristic of these cell lines, whether they were grown in vivo or in vitro. These cell lines exhibited a different pattern of cross-resistance to a wide range of chemotherapeutic agents with dissimilar chemical structures and mechanisms of action as compared with that of other ACNU-resistant cell lines established in vitro. Distinct cross-resistance was observed in both the C6/ACNU and 9L/ACNU cell lines to chloroethyl-nitrosoureas such as BCNU (carmustine), CCNU (lomustine), and methyl CCNU and, additionally, to vincristine, vinblastine, Adriamycin (doxorubicin), and arabinosylcytosine, but not to bleomycin, methotrexate, cis-platinum, and 5-fluorouracil. This might point to a multifactorial mechanism of drug resistance in ACNU-resistant cell lines derived from rat C6 and 9L brain tumor cells.     

Effect of smoking on fibronectin production by human amnion and placenta.

Fibronectin production from amnion and placental tissues was evaluated in pregnant woman smokers and nonsmokers in order to examine if there were alterations of fibronectin metabolism in intrauterine tissues. In both amnion and placental tissues, cycloheximide inhibited the fibronectin output indicating that it was being synthesized. Mean fibronectin output by amnion in pregnant woman smokers was significantly lower than that in pregnant woman nonsmokers. In contrast, in the placenta from pregnant woman smokers, the output was significantly higher than that in pregnant woman nonsmokers. The present observations indicate that smoking alters an important biochemical constituent in amnion and placenta, possible leading to some complications.
