Committing embryonic stem cells to early endocrine pancreas in vitro

A panel of genetic markers was used to assess the in vitro commitment of murine embryonic stem (ES) cells toward the endoderm-derived pancreas and to distinguish insulin-expressing cells of this lineage from other lineages such as neuron, liver, and yolk sac. There are two nonallelic insulin genes in mice. Neuronal cells express only insulin II, whereas the pancreas expresses both insulin I and II. Yolk sac and fetal liver express predominately insulin II, small amounts of insulin I, and no glucagon. We found that ES-derived embryoid bodies cultured in the presence of stage-specific concentrations of monothio-glycerol and 15% fetal calf serum, followed by serum-free conditions, give rise to a population that expresses insulin I, insulin II, pdx-1 (a pancreas marker), and Sox17 (an endoderm marker). Immunohistochemical staining shows intracellular insulin particles, and its de novo production was confirmed by staining for C-peptide. Most, but not all, of the insulin+ or C-peptide+ cells coexpress glucagon, demonstrating a differentiation pathway to pancreas rather than yolk sac or fetal liver. Addition of beta-cell specification and differentiation factors activin beta B, nicotinamide, and exendin-4 to later-stage culture increased insulin-positive cells to 2.73% of the total population, compared with the control culture, which gave rise to less than 1% insulin-staining cells. These findings suggest that stepwise culture manipulations can direct ES cells to become early endocrine pancreas.

Analysis of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate (8-OH-dGMP) as a reliable marker of cellular oxidative DNA damage after gamma-irradiation

In order to improve 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua) detection in DNA, we digested isolated DNA with nuclease P1 and analyzed for 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate (8-OH-dGMP) using a high-performance liquid chromatography system equipped with an electrochemical detector (HPLC-ECD). The amount of 8-OH-Gua in the DNA was expressed as the ratio of 8-OH-dGMP to deoxycytidine monophosphate (dCMP). Using this analysis, the background level of 8-OH-Gua in DNA from human lung carcinoma cells (A549) was several-fold lower than that obtained by a previous method. A549 cells were exposed to 20-60 Gy of gamma-radiation and an increase in 8-OH-Gua concentration was observed with increasing gamma-ray dose (0.3 residues per 10(7) dCMP per Gy). Moreover, by an immunohistochemical procedure using a commercial FITC-kit, 8-OH-Gua was clearly detected in A549 cells and the fluorescence intensity of cells with oxidative DNA damage increased with the doses of gamma-irradiation. Using an endonuclease nicking assay, we also found that gamma-rays decreased 8-OH-Gua repair activity. The results indicate that 8-OH-dGMP is a useful and sensitive marker for estimating oxidative damage in DNA.     

Osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis: Highly variable expression within a family including cleft palate in two neonatal cases

Cranial sclerosis with osteopathia striata was diagnosed in four members of a family in three generations. The expression of the gene varied from mild cranial enlargement to cranial abnormality associated with severe Pierre-Robin triad. The disorder was diagnosed prenatally in the most severely affected member of the family from the finding of an increased biparietal diameter of the fetal head on ultrasound examination.
