Abstract Dianthus chinensis L. is an edible, ornamental herb used to prepare the Dianthi Herba, a Chinese traditional rejuvenating medicine. Owing to the rapid proliferation of callus tissues, in vitro production of flavonoids has their own specific importance. Callus cultures raised followed by auxin directed biosynthesis of flavonoid through related transcript profile were carried out. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium fortified with 2,4- Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4- D) or picloram induced formation of friable callus from internode derived cultures of D. chinensis. Culture medium containing 2,4- D (10 µM) produced the highest flavonoid content, 4.44 mg quercetin equivalent per gram (QE g− 1) under incubation in continuous dark condition, while maximum dry weight yield (0.38 g/ culture) was obtained from 10 µM 2,4- D under 16 h light / 8 h dark condition (50 µmol m− 2 s− 1 irradiance) at 60 days of incubation. The callus raised in light condition in 10 µM 2,4- D selected to analyze flavonoid related gene expression profile viz., chalcone synthase (CHS), chalcone isomerase (CHI), flavanone-3-hydroxylase (F3H), and flavonol synthase (FLS) at specific time intervals. The transcript abundance of CHS, F3H, or FLS gene was higher at 60 days old callus cultures and reaching 11.59, 48.31, and 114.63-fold relative expression than that of initial callus tissues respectively. These understandings are critical for the regulation of targeted phytochemicals as well as their wide exploitation in the field of biological research.

The aim of this study was to elucidate the molecular status of single human adult germ stem cells (haGSCs) and haGSC colonies, which spontaneously developed from the CD49f MACS and matrix- (collagen−/laminin+ binding-) selected fraction of enriched spermatogonia. Single-cell transcriptional profiling by Fluidigm BioMark system of a long-term cultured haGSCs cluster in comparison to human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human fibroblasts (hFibs) revealed that haGSCs showed a characteristic germ- and pluripotency-associated gene expression profile with some similarities to hESCs and with a significant distinction from somatic hFibs. Genome-wide comparisons with microarray analysis confirmed that different haGSC colonies exhibited gene expression heterogeneity with more or less pluripotency. The results of this study confirm that haGSCs are adult stem cells with a specific molecular gene expression profilein vitro, related but not identical to true pluripotent stem cells. Under ES-cell conditions haGSC colonies could be selected and maintained in a partial pluripotent state at the molecular level, which may be related to their cell plasticity and potential to differentiate into cells of all germ layers.

Abstract Interaction between multiple myeloma (MM) cells and the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment plays a critical role in promoting MM cell growth, survival, migration and development of drug resistance. This interaction within the bone marrow milieu is unique and its understanding is important in evaluating effects of novel agents in vitro and in vivo. We here describe a novel murine model that allows us to study the expression changes in vivo in MM cells within the human BM milieu. In this model, the green fluorescent protein (INA-6 GFP+) transduced IL-6-dependent human MM cell line, INA-6, was injected in human bone chip implanted into SCID mice. At different time points the bone chip was retrieved, cells flushed out and GFP+ MM cells were purified by CD138 MACS microbeads. Similar isolation process was used on INA-6 GFP+ cells cultured in vitro and used as control. Total RNA was isolated from these cells and gene expression profile analyzed using the HG-U133 array chip (Affymetrix) and DChip analyzer program. We have identified significant changes in expression of several genes following in vivo interaction between INA-6 and the BM microenvironment. Specifically, we observed up-regulation of genes associated with cytokines (IL-4, IL-8, IGFB 2–5) and chemokines (CCL2, 5, 6, 18, 24, CCR1, 2, 4), implicated in cell-cell signalling. Moreover genes implicated in DNA transcription (V-Fos, V-Jun, V-kit), adhesion (Integrin alpha 2b, 7, cadherin 1 and 11) and cell growth (CDC14, Cyclin G2, ADRA1A) were also up-regulated and genes involved in apoptosis and cell death (p-57, BCL2, TNF1a) were down-regulated. Using the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis the most relevant pathways modulated by the in vivo interaction between MM cells and BMSCs were IL-6, IGF1, TGF-beta and ERK/MAPK-mediated pathways as well as cell-cycle regulation and chemokine signalling. These results are consistent with previously observed in vitro cell signalling studies. Taken together these results highlight the ability of BM microenvironment to modulate the gene expression profile of the MM cells and our ability to in vivo monitor the changes. This model thus provides us with an ability to study in vivo effects of novel agents on expression profile of MM cells in BM milieu, to pre-clinically characterize their activity.

Abstract Abstract 3810 Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are a non-hematopoietic BM cell population considered to be not only the osteoblastic progenitors, but also a key component of the hematopoietic microenvironment. Raaijmakers et al (Nature, 2010) have recently shown that deletion of Dicer1 in MSC-derived osteoprogenitors as well as its target gene SBDS resulted in myelodysplasia (MDS) in a murine model. We have previously confirmed these results in human MSC from MDS patients (ASH 2010, # 397). In a previous paper (Leukemia, 2009) we showed that MSC from 5q- syndrome patients were different from MSC from other types of MDS and could be involved in their development. We have hypothesized that lenalidomide, the standard treatment of 5q- patients could act not only on hematopoietic progenitors but also on the BM microenvironment. For this purpose BM-MSC from healthy donors (HD) (n=7) and 5q- syndrome patients (n=5) were expanded in vitro and treated with 50 uM lenalidomide or its solvent (DMSO) as control. RNA was obtained from MSC and DICER1, DROSHA and SBDS relative gene expression was assessed by real-time PCR using TaqMan® assay as well as several microRNAs with known role in hematopoiesis and immune system regulation. In addition, MSC gene expression profile was studied. Labeled samples were hybridized to affymetrix of oligonucleotide HU 1.OST arrays in 5q- patients (n=4) and compared with MSCs from HD (n=3). For this purpose the ratio lenalidomide-treated sample and its paired DMSO control was calculated and markers with a fold change >1.5 were selected for hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA). MSCs from 5q-syndrome showed lower expression of DICER1 when compared with those from HD (.35 x10−3 vs.20 x10−3 p=0.03) but this expression was recovered when 5q-MSCs were treated with Lenalidomide (0.32 x10−3 p= 0.34). By contrast, no differences in DROSHA expression were observed. In addition, 5q-MSC showed SBDS lower expression than HD-MSC and in both groups the expression increased when they were treated with lenalidomide fig1). When microRNAs were analyzed, we observed a lower microRNA expression in lenalidomide-treated MSC from healthy donors when was compared to paired non-treated cells, especially for miRNA-155 (p=0.028), miRNA-222 (p=0.028),and miRNA-181a (p=0.075; Table 1). By contrast, lenalidomide-treated MSC from MDS showed a trend towards higher microRNA expression in comparison to paired non-treated MSC.Table 1.HD-MSC DMSO vs LENA5q-MSC DMSO vs LENAmiRNA 1460.50 vs 0.30p=0.2490.07 vs 0.10p=0.7miRNA 1500.004 vs 0.0065p=0.60.001 vs 0.006p=0.07miRNA 1550.90 vs 0.58p=0.0280.80 vs 0.96p=0.7miRNA 181a2.47 vs 1,83p=0.0751.66 vs 2.32p=0.07miRNA 22286.2 vs 68.0p=0.02843.2 vs 56.2p=0.07 When the gene expression profile was carried out based in 421 selected probes including 306 known genes, MSC-treated cells from 5q- were separated from HD MSC by HCA (Fig2). We can conclude that Lenalidomide not only acts on HPC from 5q- patients but also on microenvironment by modifying the expression of DICER-1 and SBDS as well as the expression of some microRNAs and genes.
