Low-intensity electric fields can induce changes in cell differentiation and cytoskeletal stresses that facilitate manipulation of osteoblasts and mesenchymal stem cells; however, the application times (tens of minutes) are of the order of physiological mechanisms, which can complicate treatment consistency. Intense nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs) can overcome these challenges by inducing similar stresses on shorter timescales while additionally inducing plasma membrane nanoporation, ion transport and intracellular structure manipulation. This paper shows that treating myoblasts and osteoblasts with five 300 ns PEFs with intensities from 1.5 to 25 kV cm −1 increased proliferation and differentiation. While nsPEFs above 5 kV cm −1 decreased myoblast population growth, 10 and 20 kV cm −1 trains increased myoblast population by approximately fivefold 48 h after exposure when all cell densities were set to the same level after exposure. Three trials of the PEF-treated osteoblasts showed that PEF trains between 2.5 and 10 kV cm −1 induced the greatest population growth compared to the control 48 h after treatment. Trains of nsPEFs between 1.5 and 5 kV cm −1 induced the most nodule formation in osteoblasts, indicating bone formation. These results demonstrate the potential utility for nsPEFs to rapidly modulate stem cells for proliferation and differentiation and motivate future experiments to optimize PEF parameters for in vivo applications.

This study is to explore the osteogenesis potential of the human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) induced by naringin in vitro and in vitro. The results confirmed that 1 μM naringin performs the best effect and a collection of bone-related genes (RUNX2,COL1A2, OPN, and OCN) had significantly higher expression levels compared to the control group. Furthermore, a typical trabecular structure was observed in vivo, surrounded by a large amount of osteoblasts. These results demonstrated that naringin, at a concentration of 1 μM, can efficiently promote the proliferation and differentiation of hPDLSCs both in vitro and in vivo.

Stromal Stem Cells

Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as important therapeutic agents, owing to their easy isolation and culture, and their remarkable immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. However, MSCs constitute a heterogeneous cell population which does not express specific cell markers and has important problems for in vivo homing, and factors regulating their survival, proliferation, and differentiation are largely unknown. Accordingly, in the present article, we review the current evidence on the relationships between Eph kinase receptors, their ephrin ligands, and MSCs. These molecules are involved in the adult homeostasis of numerous tissues, and we and other authors have demonstrated their expression in human and murine MSCs derived from both bone marrow and adipose tissue, as well as their involvement in the MSC biology. We extend these studies providing new results on the effects of Eph/ephrins in the differentiation and immunomodulatory properties of MSCs.

Bone Marrow Chimeras

A culture system is described in which bone marrow-derived adherent cells can support prolonged proliferation and differentiation of genetically incompatible stem cells and precursor cells. The results suggest that the reactive cells responsible in vivo for host transplantation resistance and for graft-versus-host disease are selectively lost or inhibited in such cultures, which may provide a vehicle for studying some of the cellular mechanisms involved in transplantation resistance.

Differentiation And Proliferation

Pancreatic progenitor cells (PPCs) are the primary source for all pancreatic cells, including beta-cells, and thus the proliferation and differentiation of PPCs into islet-like cell clusters (ICCs) opens an avenue to providing transplantable islets for diabetic patients. Meanwhile, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can enhance the development and function of different cell types of interest, but their role on PPCs remains unknown. We aimed to explore the mechanism-of-action whereby MSCs induce the in vitro and in vivo PPC/ICC development by means of our established co-culture system of human PPCs with human fetal bone marrow-derived MSCs. We examined the effect of MSC-conditioned medium on PPC proliferation and survival. Meanwhile, we studied the effect of MSC co-culture enhanced PPC/ICC function in vitro and in vivo co-/transplantation. Furthermore, we identified IGF1 as a critical factor responsible for the MSC effects on PPC differentiation and proliferation via IGF1-PI3K/Akt and IGF1-MEK/ERK1/2, respectively. In conclusion, our data indicate that MSCs stimulated the differentiation and proliferation of human PPCs via IGF1 signaling, and more importantly, promoted the in vivo engraftment function of ICCs. Taken together, our protocol may provide a mechanism-driven basis for the proliferation and differentiation of PPCs into clinically transplantable islets.

The determinants of normal and leukemic stem cell self-renewal remain poorly characterized. We report that expression of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPx3) positively correlates with the frequency of leukemia stem cells (LSCs) in Hoxa9+Meis1-induced leukemias. Compared with a leukemia with a low frequency of LSCs, a leukemia with a high frequency of LSCs showed hypomethylation of the Gpx3 promoter region, and expressed high levels of Gpx3 and low levels of ROS. LSCs and normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) engineered to express Gpx3 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) were much less competitive in vivo than control cells. However, progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation was not affected by Gpx3 shRNA. Consistent with this, HSCs overexpressing Gpx3 were significantly more competitive than control cells in long-term repopulation experiments, and overexpression of the self-renewal genes Prdm16 or Hoxb4 boosted Gpx3 expression. In human primary acute myeloid leukemia samples, GPX3 expression level directly correlated with adverse prognostic outcome, revealing a potential novel target for the eradication of LSCs.

Abstract N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of RNA is deposited by the methyltransferase complex consisting of Mettl3 and Mettl14 and erased by demethylase Fto and Alkbh5 and is involved in diverse biological processes. However, it remains largely unknown the specific function and mechanism of Fto in regulating adult neural stem cells (aNSCs). In the present study, utilizing a conditional knockout (cKO) mouse model, we show that the specific ablation of Fto in aNSCs transiently increases the proliferation of aNSCs and promotes neuronal differentiation both in vitro and in vivo, but in a long term, the specific ablation of Fto inhibits adult neurogenesis and neuronal development. Mechanistically, Fto deficiency results in a significant increase in m6A modification in Pdgfra and Socs5. The increased expression of Pdgfra and decreased expression of Socs5 synergistically promote the phosphorylation of Stat3. The modulation of Pdgfra and Socs5 can rescue the neurogenic deficits induced by Fto depletion. Our results together reveal an important function of Fto in regulating aNSCs through modulating Pdgfra/Socs5-Stat3 pathway.
