Effects of basic fibroblast growth factor on biological characteristics of osteoblasts

Objective: To elucidate the effects of exogenous basic fibroblast growth factor ( bFGF ) on biological characteristics of rat osteoblasts cultured in vitro. Methods: The osteoblasts isolated from a Sprague-Dawley rat and cultured in vitro were treated with different concentrations of bFGF ( 5-50 ng/ml) respectively. At 24 hours after treatment, the proliferating cell nuclear antigen was measured with immunocytochemistry, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was determined and the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 ( TGF-β1 )was detected to observe the effects of bFGF on growth and differentiation of osteoblasts. Resu/ts: bFGF ( 5-50 ng/ml ) could obviously promote the growth of osteoblasts. The intracellular expression of TGF-β1 mRNA increased significantly, but the intracellular ALP content decreased. Conclusions: bFGF can obviously stimulate the proliferation of osteoblasts and promote the synthesis of TGF-β1, but cannot promote the differentiation of osteoblasts.

Various V-J rearrangement efficiencies shape the mouse λ B cell repertoire

The diversity of the B cell repertoire of C_x knockout mice is limited by the expression of four λ light chain types. Among the spleen B cells, λ1 is expressed by the majority (58%) of cells, and λ3 by the minority (8%), while λ2(V2) and λ2(Vx) are expressed in intermediate quantities (18% and 16%, respectively). To assess the influence of mechanistic pressures on the λ subtype distribution, the proportions of the different λ rearrangements were determined in various B cell subpopulations divided on the basis of the λ subtype expressed, and the VλJλ junction sequences were studied at different steps of B cell differentiation (pre-B, immature and mature B cells). The data show that (1) the ratio of productive/non-productive VJ junctions is determined by the nature of the λ segments that are rearranged as can be observed in the pre-B cells, (2) V1-J1 non-productive rearrangements are often found in the λ1-negative B cells in the periphery, and (3) V1J3 junctions are often non-productive regardless of the nature of the cells analyzed. Our results, therefore, suggest that a strong probability of initiating a V1-J1 rearrangement and a weak probability of giving a productive V1J3 junction are responsible for the λ1 dominance and the λ3 under-expression, respectively. The intermediate proportion of λ2(V2) subtype is most likely due to a probability of obtaining a productive joint that is better than that for V1J3 and a probability of initiating a rearrangement that is lower than that for V1J1. However, the λ2(Vx) cell proportion cannot be determined only by these parameters.

GALC transduction leads to morphological improvement of the twitcher oligodendrocytes in vivo

Globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD, Krabbe disease) is a severe demyelinating disease caused by a genetic defect of beta-galactocerebrosidase (GALC). To date treatment to GLD is limited to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Experimental approaches by means of gene therapy in twitcher mouse, an authentic murine model of human GLD, showed significant but only marginal improvements of the disease. To clarify whether the introduction of GALC could provide beneficial effects on the oligodendrocytes in GLD, we transduced twitcher oligodendrocytes by stereotactically injecting recombinant retrovirus encoding GALC-myc-tag fusion gene into the forebrain subventricular zone of neonatal twitcher mouse. In vivo effects of exogenous GALC on twitcher oligodendrocytes were studied histologically by combined immunostaining for the myc-epitope and the oligodendroglial specific marker, pi form of glutathione-S-transferase, at around 40 days of age. We show here that GALC transduction led to dramatic morphological improvement of the twitcher oligodendrocytes comparing with those in untreated twitcher controls. This study provided direct in vivo evidence that GALC transduction could prevent or correct aberrant morphology of oligodendrocytes in GLD which may be closely related to the dysfunction and/or degeneration of oligodendrocytes and the demyelination in this disease.     

Short-term enzyme replacement in the murine model of Sanfilippo syndrome type B

The Sanfilippo syndrome type B (MPS III B) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by deficiency of alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase (EC 3. 2.1.50), one of the lysosomal enzymes required for the degradation of heparan sulfate. The disease is characterized by profound neurodegeneration but relatively mild somatic manifestations, and is usually fatal in the second decade. A mouse model had been generated by disruption of the Naglu gene in order to facilitate the study of pathogenesis and the development of therapy for this currently untreatable disease. Recombinant human alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase (rhNAGLU) was prepared from secretions of Lec1 mutant Chinese hamster ovary cells. The enzyme, which has only unphosphorylated high-mannose carbohydrate chains, was endocytosed by mouse peritoneal macrophages via mannose receptors, with half-maximal uptake at ca. 10(-7) M. When administered intravenously to 3 month-old mice, rhNAGLU was taken up avidly by liver and spleen but marginally if at all by thymus, lung, kidney, heart, and brain (in order of diminishing uptake). The half-life of the enzyme was 2.5 days in liver and spleen. Immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy showed that only macrophages were involved in enzyme uptake and correction in these two organs, yet the storage of glycosaminoglycan was reduced to almost normal levels. The results show that the macrophage-targeted rhNAGLU can substantially reduce the body burden of glycosaminoglycan storage in the mouse model of Sanfilippo syndrome III B.
