Embryonnaires humaines études de cellules souches dans le laboratoire Teitell sont actuellement pris en charge par une California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) Subvention de démarrage RS1-00313. Nous remercions le Dr Carla Koehler (UCLA) et des membres du laboratoire Koehler de fournir des conseils et des idées dans ces domaines et des études supplémentaires.

Haute Résolution électrophorèse sur gel natif Effacer (hrCNE) pour le complexe mitochondrial tests d&#39;activité dans le gel Cellules souches embryonnaires humaines (CSEh) ont été maintenus sur une monocouche de ˠ-irradiés ou la mitomycine C fibroblastes de souris traitées embryonnaires (MEF), puis passer à la croissance sur Matrigel pendant 5 jours dans MEF milieu conditionné utilisant des conditions standard. Pour enlever la contamination FAE, CSEh ont été re-plaquées sur Matrigel et cultivées en milieu conditionné MEF pour les 3 jours supplémentaires. Immunofluorescence pour les marqueurs de pluripotence Oct-4, SSEA-4 a été utilisé pour confirmer l&#39;absence de différenciation des CSEh. <ol><li> Laver les cellules avec des chaudes 1x PBS, pH 7,4, suivis par trypsinisation (1ml de la trypsine 1x par puits dans une plaque à 6 puits) pendant 5 min. </li><li> Ajouter un volume égal d&#39;inhibiteur de trypsine frais (1mg/ml dans du PBS 1X, pH 7,4). Récolte des cellules et centrifuger à 200 g, 5 min, la température ambiante. </li><li> Jeter le surnageant et remettre les cellules granulées de 0,8 - 1.7ml (basée sur la taille du culot cellulaire) de glace isolée tampon froid mitochondries (83mm saccharose; 6.6mm imidazole / HCl, pH 7,0) avec 1 fraîchement préparés &quot;cocktail inhibiteur de protéase. Incuber sur la glace pendant 10 min. </li><li> Dounce cellules avec un homogénéisateur (~ 40 - 50 coups). Stain une aliquote de cellules dounced bleu trypan pour vérifier l&#39;exhaustivité de l&#39;homogénéisation à l&#39;aide d&#39;un microscope optique. </li><li> Centrifuger à 20000 g pendant 10 min à 4 ° C pour obtenir un brut mitochondrial granulés qui contient également des noyaux et des fragments de cellules plus grandes. Décanter et jeter le surnageant et peser le précipité brut mitochondrial granulés. Le culot peut être conservé à -80 ° C après la congélation instantanée dans l&#39;azote liquide, si ce n&#39;est un point d&#39;arrêt. REMARQUE: centrifugation différentielle ou d&#39;autres basées sur les gradients procédures peuvent être utilisées pour isoler et de percevoir une fraction de membrane mitochondriale pures. Voir réf. 4 pour les détails. Cette approche alternative sera le rendement de l&#39;activité mitochondriale complexes par mg de protéine mitochondriale lieu d&#39;activité complexe par mg de poids cellulaire ou un numéro de cellulaire. La concentration de protéines mitochondriales devra être déterminé après la purification de faire cette comparaison. En outre, un tampon d&#39;isolement différent peut être requis pour cette approche. Pour la solubilisation de la fraction de la membrane mitochondriale pur, voir la note suivante étape 6 ci-dessous. </li><li> Solubiliser le brut mitochondrial granulés sur la glace au vortex avec un tampon de solubilisation de la glace froide (50 mM NaCl, 50 mM imidazole / HCl pH 7,0, 1 mM EDTA, 2 mM d&#39;acide 6-aminohexanoïque). L&#39;acide 6-aminohexanoïque peut être remplacé par le cocktail d&#39;inhibiteur de protéase 1x. Utilisez 35μl de tampon de solubilisation par 20mg de poids à granulés. Ajouter 20 pi de 10% p / v digitonine par 20mg de poids granulés et mélanger en feuilletant le tube. Incuber 5-10 min sur la glace. Dodécyl-bD-maltoside ou le Triton X-100 peut être substitué à la digitonine pour solubiliser les protéines. Le choix du détergent et de sa quantité peuvent affecter la formation de formes multimériques supercomplexes ou des complexes mitochondriaux. Pour plus d&#39;informations, consultez ref.1. REMARQUE: La quantité de détergent nécessaire pour solubiliser une fraction membranaire mitochondrial pur correspond à un ratio poids du détergent / protéine allant de 2 à 6g / g. Le rapport optimal pour solubiliser les membranes mitochondriales est 2.5g / g pour dodécyl-bD-maltoside, 3g / g pour le triton X-100, et 6g / g pour la digitonine. </li><li> Centrifuger le culot solubilisé à 100.000 g pendant 15 min à 4 ° C. Recueillir le surnageant clair. </li><li> Ajouter un tampon de charge à une finale de 5% p / v de glycérol et 0,01% p / v Ponceau S (utilisation de 50% p / v de glycérol, 0,1% w / v de solution de chargement Ponceau S stock tampon). </li><li> Charger des puits du gel avec un volume qui contient 20-40mg du brut culot de mitochondries par voie. Utilisez un gel à gradient d&#39;acrylamide (4 -13%) avec un empilage de 3,5% de gel. REMARQUE: préparation de gel et les conditions de l&#39;électrophorèse: Pour la préparation du gel, utiliser un acrylamide / bis-acrylamide (AA / bisAA) 3 mélanger comme suit: 48g d&#39;acrylamide et 1,5 g de bisacrylamide (49,5% T, 3% C. Si T est la concentration totale d&#39;AA et bisAA et C est le pourcentage de réticulant (bisAA) au total des monomères).

probing for mitochondrial complex activity in human embryonic stem cells

Les mitochondries sont des organites cytoplasmiques qui ont un rôle primordial dans le métabolisme cellulaire et l&#39;homéostasie, la régulation du réseau de signalisation cellulaire, et la mort cellulaire programmée. Les mitochondries produisent l&#39;ATP, de réglementer l&#39;état redox cytoplasmique et Ca2 + bilan, cataboliser acides gras, de synthétiser l&#39;hème, nucléotides, hormones stéroïdes, acides aminés, et aider à assembler fer-soufre dans les protéines. Les mitochondries jouent également un rôle essentiel dans la production de chaleur. Les mutations du génome mitochondrial entraîner plusieurs types de trouble humain. L&#39;accumulation de mutations de l&#39;ADNmt est en corrélation avec le vieillissement et est soupçonné d&#39;avoir un rôle important dans le développement du cancer. En raison de leur rôle d&#39;une importance vitale dans tous les types de cellules, la fonction des mitochondries doit aussi être critique pour les cellules souches. Avancées majeures ont été faites dans notre compréhension de la viabilité des cellules souches, la prolifération, et la capacité de différenciation. Mais l&#39;activité fonctionnelle des cellules souches, en particulier de leur état énergétique, ne fut pas encore été étudiés en détail. Presque rien n&#39;est connu sur les propriétés des mitochondries des cellules souches embryonnaires humaines (CSEh) et leur descendance différenciée précurseur. Une façon de comprendre et d&#39;évaluer le rôle des mitochondries dans la fonction de CSEh et le potentiel de développement est de mesurer directement l&#39;activité des complexes respiratoires mitochondriaux. Ici, nous décrivons haute résolution électrophorèse sur gel natif claires et les suivants dans la visualisation de l&#39;activité de gel comme une méthode pour analyser les cinq complexes de la chaîne respiratoire des CSEh.

Propagation of Human Embryonic Stem (ES) Cells

Propagation of Human Embryonic Stem ES Cells

Yeah, so I'm Lauren Deon. I'm in charge of the Human Amgen stem cell co facility at MGH. Yeah, so I'm Lauren, I'm in charge of the Human AM stem cell co facility at MGH.So I've been working with human Amgen stem cells for years now since I was a postdoc in George De Lab before, from four, four years. And so right now we have two cell lines, H one and H nine, which are both from Y cell. And so the way we are expanding or maintaining these cells in culture is by, at least the way we are splitting these cells is by using collagenous.So what I usually do is for the first few passage after throwing the cells, I use a technical, the picking colonies. So in this case, I can check under the microscope which colonies are good and differentiate and nice shape, and I will collect only these colonies and I will cut them in few pieces and put them back in, in a fresh flat. And the, the colonies that look kind of differentiate it are just left them alone.The other way to pass the cells is by using trypsin. So I don't use this technique here. I think collagenase is a little bit safer because human being stem cells don't like to be individualized or they don't like to be alone.So if you do trypsin, if you use trypsin for a little bit too long, if you use it for like three to four minutes, which is the way we use strips in for other type of cells, human stem cells will be individualized and most of them will die or just differentiate or will not attach to the myth. So the idea is you have to keep the cells as clumps. You don't want them to be alone in the in, in the flask.So using collagenase, the advantage is to keep cells as plants. Using chipsy, you just select for cells that will survive this very, very harsh process of g opsonization. So these cells are usually very highly proliferative.So you get, you can adapt your cells to this tripsin process. The problem is that you have cells that they behave differently, they go much faster. And one risk is that you can get some commercial abnormality to, to this, to this very high division process.So you say that ization can cause selection of cells in culture for most proliferative cells.Right. More ative and probably also higher survival rates than other cells. So after proliferation, basically culture after proliferation in tripsin, after several passages become a different culture, these different properties.So it's, it's hard to figure out if they are exactly identical. If you do the test, the usual test, let's say you check markers, regular markers of end differentiated cells like OC four, nano one 60 SC four C, C3, all this molecule might still be expressed. If you do TER formation, this cells might still differentiate and be formed like al like normal cells.If you look at the karyotype, you might have some abnormality, but you might still have a normal karyotype. The, the, the selective advantage might be due to just a mutation that you cannot see by doing a karyotype. So the fact that they grow much faster is by itself I think a little bit worser.And if we want to use these cells for transplantation at some point, I would definitely not use this type of cells.Okay. So would you like to tell me what are the main technical problems with using this technique for, for passages of cells? So using S, yes.It's just a little bit longer and also it's, since the cells are not going as fast, it's just much longer to get a high number of cells to do some experiment. So it's just less convenient I would say. Would you like to tell me about few words about the goals of your experiment?How do you use CS cells? Okay, so my main project here is to get endothelial cells from human AB stem cells. And the idea is to be able to make blood.And we are working a lot with tissue bioengineering labs and one of their goal is to make tissue in vitro. But one of the limitation to this is the lack of blood vessels going through this tissues. So if we can bring endothelial cells or put endothelial cells in this tissue, we would have better growth of this tissue.So the idea few sources of cells are known for endothelial cells like cold blood or pressure blood, but it would be interesting to have another source of cells like human years. And the advantage is since human years can be expanded and most infinitely, you could modify these cells, make some inducible system and be able to use it. Then in your final product, your material cells, in this case.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation from Human Embryonic Stem Cells

The functional and structural complexity of the myriad of cells in metazoan organisms arises from a small number of stem cells. Stem cells are characterized by two fundamental properties: self-renewal and multipotency that allows a stem cell to differentiate into virtually any cell type 1. The progression stem cell to differentiated cell is characterized by loss of multipotency, structural and morphological changes and the hierarchic activity of transcription factors and signaling molecules, whose activities establish and maintain cell-type specific gene expression patterns. At the molecular level, cell differentiation involves dynamic changes of the structure and composition of chromatin and the detection of those dynamic changes can provide valuable insights into the functional features of stem cells and the cell differentiation process 2,3. Chromatin is a highly compacted DNA-protein complex that forms when cells package chromosomal DNA with proteins, mainly histones 4. Stemcellness and cell differentiation has been correlated with the presence of specific arrays of regulatory proteins such as epigenetic factors, histone variants, and transcription factors 2,3,5.
 Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) provides a valuable method to monitor the presence of RNA, proteins, and protein modifications in chromatin 6,7. The comparison of chromatin from different cell types can elucidate dynamic changes in protein-chromatin associations that occur during cell differentiation.
Chromatin immunoprecipitation involves the purification of in vivo cross-linked chromatin. The isolated chromatin is reduced to smaller fragments by enzymatic digestion or mechanical force. Chromatin fragments are precipitated using specific antibodies to target proteins or protein and DNA modifications. The precipitated DNA or RNA is purified and used as a template for PCR or DNA microarray based assays. Prerequisites for a successful ChIP are high quality antibodies to the desired antigen and the availability of chromatin from control cells that do not express the target molecule. ChIP can correlate the presence of proteins, protein and RNA modifications, and RNA with specific target DNA, and depending on the choice of outread tool, detects the association of target molecules at specific target genes or in the context of an entire genome. The comparison of the distribution of proteins in the chromatin of differentiating cells can elucidate the dynamic changes of chromatin composition that coincide with the progression of cells along a cell lineage.

The differentiation of ESC coincides with cell-type specific changes in the structure and composition of chromatin. The detection of those changes provides valuable insights into the mechanisms that define stemcellness and cell differentiation.

In vitro Labeling of Human Embryonic Stem Cells for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) have demonstrated the ability to restore the injured myocardium. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as one of the predominant imaging modalities to assess the restoration of the injured myocardium. Furthermore, ex-vivo labeling agents, such as iron-oxide nanoparticles, have been employed to track and localize the transplanted stem cells. However, this method does not monitor a fundamental cellular biology property regarding the viability of transplanted cells. It has been known that manganese chloride (MnCl2) enters the cells via voltage-gated calcium (Ca2+) channels when the cells are biologically active, and accumulates intracellularly to generate T1 shortening effect. Therefore, we suggest that manganese-guided MRI can be useful to monitor cell viability after the transplantation of hESC into the myocardium.
In this video, we will show how to label hESC with MnCl2 and how those cells can be clearly seen by using MRI in vitro. At the same time, biological activity of Ca2+-channels will be modulated utilizing both Ca2+-channel agonist and antagonist to evaluate concomitant signal changes.

In this video, we are showing how to label human embryonic stem cells (hESC) with manganese chloride (MnCl2) which can enter cells via voltage-gated calcium channels when the cells are biologically active. Additionally, we show the use of MnCl2 as cellular MRI contrast agent to determine the in vitro viability of hESC.

Culture and Maintenance of Human Embryonic Stem Cells  

Human embryonic stem (hES) cells must be monitored and cared for in order to maintain healthy, undifferentiated cultures. At minimum, the cultures must be  fed  every day by performing a complete medium change to replenish lost nutrients and to keep the cultures free of unwanted differentiation factors. Although a small amount of differentiation is normal and expected in stem cell cultures, the culture should be routinely cleaned up by manually removing, or "picking" differentiated areas. Identifying and removing excess differentiation from hES cell cultures are essential techniques in the maintenance of a healthy population of cells.

Chromosomal Spread Preparation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells for Karyotyping

Although human embryonic stem cells (hESC) have been shown to present a stable diploid karyotype 1, many studies have reported that depending on culture conditions they become prone to acquire chromosomal anomalies such as addition of whole or parts of chromosomes. Indeed, during long-term culture, karyotypic alterations are observed when enzymatic or chemical dissociation are used 2,3,4, while manual dissection of colonies for passaging retains a stable karyotype 5. Besides, changes in the environment such as the removal of feeder cells also seem to compromise the genetic integrity of hESC 3,6. Once chromosomal alterations could affect cellular physiology, the characterization of the genetic integrity of hESC in vitro is crucial considering hESC as an essential tool in embryogenesis studies and drug testing. Furthermore, for future therapeutic purposes chromosomal changes are a real concern as it is frequently associated to carcinogenesis.
Here we show a simple and useful method to obtain high quality chromosome spreads for subsequent analysis of chromosome set by G-banding, FISH, SKY or CGH techniques 7,8. We recommend checking the chromosomal status routinely with intervals of 5 passages in order to monitor the appearance of translocations and aneuploidies
Priscila Britto and Rafaela Sartore contributed equally to the paper.

Karyotyping is a simple and useful technique widely used for detecting genetic alterations. Here we describe a step by step protocol for chromosome spread preparation of human embryonic stem cells for monitoring the chromosomal status of these cells maintained in culture.

Freezing and Thawing Human Embryonic Stem Cells

Since James Thomson et al developed a technique in 1998 to isolate and grow hES in culture, freezing cells for later use and thawing and expanding cells from a frozen stock have become important procedures performed in routine hES cell culture. Since hES cells are very sensitive to the stresses of freezing and thawing, special care must taken. Here we demonstrate the proper technique for rapidly thawing hES cells from liquid nitrogen stocks, plating them on mouse embryonic feeder cells, and slowly freezing them for long-term storage.

Video Bioinformatics Analysis of Human Embryonic Stem Cell Colony Growth

Because video data are complex and are comprised of many images, mining information from video material is difficult to do without the aid of computer software.  Video bioinformatics is a powerful quantitative approach for extracting spatio-temporal data from video images using computer software to perform dating mining and analysis. In this article, we introduce a video bioinformatics method for quantifying the growth of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) by analyzing time-lapse videos collected in a Nikon BioStation CT incubator equipped with a camera for video imaging. In our experiments, hESC colonies that were attached to Matrigel were filmed for 48 hours in the BioStation CT.  To determine the rate of growth of these colonies, recipes were developed using CL-Quant software which enables users to extract various types of data from video images.  To accurately evaluate colony growth, three recipes were created. The first segmented the image into the colony and background, the second enhanced the image to define colonies throughout the video sequence accurately, and the third measured the number of pixels in the colony over time.  The three recipes were run in sequence on video data collected in a BioStation CT to analyze the rate of growth of individual hESC colonies over 48 hours. To verify the truthfulness of the CL-Quant recipes, the same data were analyzed manually using Adobe Photoshop software. When the data obtained using the CL-Quant recipes and Photoshop were compared, results were virtually identical, indicating the CL-Quant recipes were truthful. The method described here could be applied to any video data to measure growth rates of hESC or other cells that grow in colonies. In addition, other video bioinformatics recipes can be developed in the future for other cell processes such as migration, apoptosis, and cell adhesion.  

Video bioinformatics is the automated processing, analysis, understanding, and data mining of biological spatio-temporal data extracted from microscopic videos. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate a method for measuring human embryonic stem cell colony growth using a video bioinformatics method.

Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells into Oligodendrocyte Precursors

Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating cells of the central nervous system. For regenerative cell therapy in demyelinating diseases, there is significant interest in deriving a pure population of lineage-committed oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) for transplantation. OPCs are characterized by the activity of the transcription factor Olig2 and surface expression of a proteoglycan NG2. Using the GFP-Olig2 (G-Olig2) mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) reporter line, we optimized conditions for the differentiation of mESCs into GFP+Olig2+NG2+ OPCs. In our protocol, we first describe the generation of embryoid bodies (EBs) from mESCs. Second, we describe treatment of mESC-derived EBs with small molecules: (1) retinoic acid (RA) and (2) a sonic hedgehog (Shh) agonist purmorphamine (Pur) under defined culture conditions to direct EB differentiation into the oligodendroglial lineage. By this approach, OPCs can be obtained with high efficiency (&gt;80%) in a time period of 30 days. Cells derived from mESCs in this protocol are phenotypically similar to OPCs derived from primary tissue culture. The mESC-derived OPCs do not show the spiking property described for a subpopulation of brain OPCs in situ. To study this electrophysiological property, we describe the generation of spiking mESC-derived OPCs by ectopically expressing NaV1.2 subunit. The spiking and nonspiking cells obtained from this protocol will help advance functional studies on the two subpopulations of OPCs.

We describe a small molecule-based protocol for differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). This protocol generates Olig2+NG2+ OPCs with high efficiency by 30 days of differentiation. We also describe a method to generate "spiking" OPCs that can fire action potentials.

Fate Mapping of Human Embryonic Stem Cells by Teratoma Formation 

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have an unlimited capacity for self-renewal, and the ability to differentiate into cells derived from all three embryonic germ layers (1). Directed differentiation of hESCs into specific cell types has generated much interest in the field of regenerative medicine (e.g., (2-5)), and methods for determining the in vivo fate of selected or manipulated hESCs are essential to this endeavor. We have adapted a highly efficient teratoma formation assay for this purpose. A small number of specifically selected hESCs is mixed with undifferentiated wild type hESCs and Phaseolus vulgaris lectin to form a cell pellet. This is grafted beneath the kidney capsule in an immunodeficient mouse. As few as 2.5 x 105 hESCs are needed to form a 16 cm3 teratoma within 8-12 weeks. The fate of the originally selected hESCs can then be determined by immunohistochemistry. This method provides a valuable tool for characterizing tissue-specific reagents for cell-based therapy.
