Yazarların açıklayacak bir şeyi yok.

Burada sunulan protokol, herhangi bir putatif faydalı genle transkârlaşmış hücrelere uygulanabilen transfected hücreler tarafından üretilen PEDF ve GM-CSF'nin anti-oksidatif ve koruyucu işlevini analiz etmek için bir yaklaşım sunmaktadır. Genetiği değiştirilmiş hücreleri naklederek proteinleri dokuya ulaştırma amacına sahip gen terapötik stratejilerinde, protein ekspresyon seviyesi, ifadenin uzun ömürlülüğü ve hastalığın bir modelinde ifade edilen proteinin etkinliği hakkında bilgi edinm...

Burada açıklanan model, hücrelerdeki oksidatif stresi azaltmak içinbiyofarmasötik ajanların verimliliğini değerlendirmek için yararlı bir yaklaşım sunar. Modeli, PEDF ve GM-CSF'nin yüksek düzeyde O 2 ve görünür ışığa maruz kalan retina pigment epitel hücreleri üzerindeki H2O2aracılı oksidatif stres üzerindeki koruyucu etkilerini ve fotoreceptör dış segment membranlarının fagositozunu araştırmak için kullandık, önemli düzeyde reaktif oksijen türü (ROS)1, 2. Avasküler yaşa bağlı makula dejenerasyonu (aAMD) 3 , 4 , 5 ,6,7,8patogenezine önemli bir katkıda bulunurlar. Ayrıca, RPE sentezlenmiş nöroprotektif faktörlerde bir azalma vardır, özellikle pigment epitel türevi faktör (PEDF), insülin benzeri büyüme faktörleri (IGF'ler) ve granülosit makrofaj-koloni uyarıcı faktör (GM-CSF) RPE hücrelerinin işlev bozukluğuna ve kaybına yol yorar, ardından fotoreceptör ve retinal ganglion hücre (RGC) ölümü3,4,5 . AMD metabolik, fonksiyonel, genetik ve çevresel faktörler arasındaki etkileşimden kaynaklanan karmaşık bir hastalıktır4. AAMD için tedavi eksikliği, sanayileşmiş ülkelerde 60 yaşından büyük hastalarda körlüğün başlıca nedenidir9,10. PEDF ve GM-CSF'yi aşırı ifade eden genetiği değiştirilmiş RPE hücrelerinin subretinal nakli ile nöroprotektif ve nörojenik retina ortamının yeniden birleşmesi, oksidatif stresin etkilerini azaltarak, iltihabı inhibe ederek ve hücre sağkalımını destekleyerek retina dejenerasyonunu önleme potansiyeline sahiptir11,12,13,14,15,16 . Genleri hücrelere ulaştırmak için çeşitli metodolojiler olsa da, pedf ve GM-CSF genlerini RPE hücrelerine ulaştırmak için viral olmayan hiperaktif Uyuyan Güzel transposon sistemini seçtik, çünkü güvenlik profili, genlerin konak hücrelerin genomuna entegrasyonu ve teslim edilen genleri transkripsiyonel olmayan aktif bölgelere entegre etme eğilimi nedeniyle17. 18,19.
Hücresel oksidatif stres, hidrojen peroksit (H 2O2),4-hidroinonenal (HNE), tertbutilhidroksit (tBH), yüksek oksijen gerginlikleri ve görünür ışık (tam spektrum veya UV ışınlama)20,21dahil olmak üzere çeşitli oksidatif ajanlar tarafından in vitro kültürlenen hücrelerde indüklenebilir. Yüksek oksijen gerilimleri ve ışık, diğer sistemlere aktarilebilirliği sınırlayan özel ekipman ve koşullar gerektirir. H 2 O2,HNE ve tBH gibi ajanlar üst üste binen oksidatif stres moleküler ve hücresel değişikliklere neden olarak. PEDF ve GM-CSF'nin antioksidan aktivitesini test etmek içinH2 O2'yi seçtik, çünkü RPE hücreleri tarafından fotoreceptör dış segment fagositoz22 sırasında reaktif oksijen ara olarak üretildiği ve in vivo23oküler dokularda bulunduğu için uygun ve biyolojik olarak alakalıdır. Glutatyonun oksidasyonu gözdeki H 2 O2üretiminden kısmen sorumlu olabileceğinden, çalışmalarımızda H 2 O2 kaynaklı oksidatif stres ve 21,22hücrelerinin rejeneratifkapasitesi ile bağlantılı GSH / glutatyon seviyelerini analizettik. Glutatyon seviyelerinin analizi özellikle gözdeki anti-oksidatif koruyucu mekanizmalara katıldığı içinönemlidir 24. H 2 O2'yemaruz kalma, RPE hücrelerinin 1 , 25 ,26,27 , 28, 29,30oksidatifstres duyarlılığını ve antioksidan aktivitesini incelemek için bir model olarak sıklıkla kullanılır ve ayrıca, "fizyolojik" bir oksidatif stres kaynağı olan ışık kaynaklı oksidatif stres hasarı ile benzerlikler gösterir21.
Nöroprotektif faktörlerin işlevselliğini ve etkinliğini değerlendirmek için, analizin PEDF ve GM-CSF'yi aşırı ifade etmek için genetiği değiştirilmiş hücreler tarafından ifade edilen büyüme faktörlerinin anti-oksidatif etkisini ölçmesini sağlayan bir in vitro model geliştirdik. Burada, PEDF ve GM-CSF genleri ile transfected RPE hücrelerinin H 2 O2'ninzararlı etkilerine transfected olmayan kontrol hücrelerinden daha dirençli olduğunu gösteriyoruz, hücre morfolojisi, yoğunluğu, canlılığı, hücre içi glutatyon seviyesi ve reaktif oksijen türlerini azalttığı gösterilen mitokondriyal ayrıştırma proteini 2'yi kodlayan UCP2 geninin ekspresyonu ile kanıtlandı (ROS)31.

induction and analysis of oxidative stress in sleeping beauty transposon-transfected human retinal pigment epithelial cells

Oksidatif stres, dünya çapında ~30 milyon hastayı etkileyen bir patoloji olan yaşa bağlı makula dejenerasyonu (AMD) da dahil olmak üzere çeşitli dejeneratif hastalıklarda kritik bir rol oynamaktadır. Retina pigment epitelinde (RPE)- sentezlenmiş nöroprotektif faktörlerde, örneğin pigment epitel türevi faktör (PEDF) ve granülosit-makrofaj koloni uyarıcı faktöründe (GM-CSF) azalmaya, ardından RPE hücrelerinin kaybına ve sonunda fotoreceptör ve retina ganglion hücre (RGC) ölümüne yol açar. PeDF ve GM-CSF'yi aşırı ifade eden transkreinal RPE hücrelerinin subretinal nakli ile nöroprotektif ve nörojenik retina ortamının yeniden kavrunun, oksidatif stresin etkilerini azaltarak, iltihabı inhibe ederek ve hücre sağkalımını destekleyerek retina dejenerasyonunu önleme potansiyeline sahip olduğunu hipotez ediyoruz. Uyuyan Güzel transposon sistemi (SB100X) insan RPE hücreleri PEDF ve GM-CSF genleri ile transfekte edilmiştir ve qPCR, batı lekesi, ELISA ve immünofluoresans kullanılarak kararlı gen entegrasyonu, uzun süreli gen ekspresyonu ve protein salgılanması gösterilmiştir. Transfected RPE hücreleri tarafından salgılanan PEDF ve GM-CSF'nin işlevselliğini ve gücünü doğrulamak için, kültürdeki RPE hücreleri üzerinde H2O2kaynaklı oksidatif stresin azaltılmasını ölçmek için bir in vitro test geliştirdik. Hücre koruması hücre morfolojisi, yoğunluğu, hücre içi glutatyon düzeyi, UCP2 gen ekspresyonu ve hücre canlılığı analiz ederek değerlendirildi. Her ikisi de, PEDF ve/veya GM-CSF'yi aşırı ifade eden transfected RPE hücreleri ve transknakte olmayan ancak PEDF ve/veya GM-CSF ile önceden tedavi edilen hücreler (ticari olarak mevcut veya transfected hücrelerden arındırılmış) tedavi edilmeyen kontrollere kıyasla önemli antioksidan hücre koruması göstermiştir. Mevcut H2O2-modeli, AMD veya benzeri nörodejeneratif hastalıkları tedavi etmek için etkili olabilecek faktörlerin antioksidan etkisini değerlendirmek için basit ve etkili bir yaklaşımdır.

Identification of Sleeping Beauty Transposon Insertions in Solid Tumors using Linker-mediated PCR

Genomic, proteomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic analyses of human tumors indicate that there are thousands of anomalies within each cancer genome compared to matched normal tissue. Based on these analyses it is evident that there are many undiscovered genetic drivers of cancer1. Unfortunately these drivers are hidden within a much larger number of passenger anomalies in the genome that do not directly contribute to tumor formation. Another aspect of the cancer genome is that there is considerable genetic heterogeneity within similar tumor types. Each tumor can harbor different mutations that provide a selective advantage for tumor formation2. Performing an unbiased forward genetic screen in mice provides the tools to generate tumors and analyze their genetic composition, while reducing the background of passenger mutations. The Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system is one such method3. The SB system utilizes mobile vectors (transposons) that can be inserted throughout the genome by the transposase enzyme. Mutations are limited to a specific cell type through the use of a conditional transposase allele that is activated by Cre Recombinase. Many mouse lines exist that express Cre Recombinase in specific tissues. By crossing one of these lines to the conditional transposase allele (e.g. Lox-stop-Lox-SB11), the SB system is activated only in cells that express Cre Recombinase. The Cre Recombinase will excise a stop cassette that blocks expression of the transposase allele, thereby activating transposon mutagenesis within the designated cell type. An SB screen is initiated by breeding three strains of transgenic mice so that the experimental mice carry a conditional transposase allele, a concatamer of transposons, and a tissue-specific Cre Recombinase allele. These mice are allowed to age until tumors form and they become moribund. The mice are then necropsied and genomic DNA is isolated from the tumors. Next, the genomic DNA is subjected to linker-mediated-PCR (LM-PCR) that results in amplification of genomic loci containing an SB transposon. LM-PCR performed on a single tumor will result in hundreds of distinct amplicons representing the hundreds of genomic loci containing transposon insertions in a single tumor4. The transposon insertions in all tumors are analyzed and common insertion sites (CISs) are identified using an appropriate statistical method5. Genes within the CIS are highly likely to be oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes, and are considered candidate cancer genes. The advantages of using the SB system to identify candidate cancer genes are: 1) the transposon can easily be located in the genome because its sequence is known, 2) transposition can be directed to almost any cell type and 3) the transposon is capable of introducing both gain- and loss-of-function mutations6. The following protocol describes how to devise and execute a forward genetic screen using the SB transposon system to identify candidate cancer genes (Figure 1).

Transcriptomic Analysis of Human Retinal Surgical Specimens Using jouRNAl

Retinal detachment (RD) describes a separation of the neurosensory retina from the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE). The RPE is essential for normal function of the light sensitive neurons, the photoreceptors. Detachment of the retina from the RPE creates a physical gap that is filled with extracellular fluid. RD initiates cellular and molecular adverse events that affect both the neurosensory retina and the RPE since the physiological exchange of ions and metabolites is severely perturbed. The consequence for vision is related to the duration of the detachment since a rapid reapposition of the two tissues results in the restoration of vision 1. The treatment of RD is exclusively surgical. Removal of vitreous gel (vitrectomy) is followed by the removal non essential part of the retina around the detached area to favor retinal detachment. The removed retinal specimens are res nullius (nothing) and consequently normally discarded. To recover RNA from these surgical specimens, we developed the procedure jouRNAl that allows RNA conservation during the transfer from the surgical block to the laboratory. We also standardized a protocol to purify RNA by cesium chloride ultracentrifugation to assure that the purified RNAs are suitable for global gene expression analysis. The quality of the RNA was validated both by RT-PCR and microarray analysis. Analysis of the data shows a simultaneous involvement of inflammation and photoreceptor degeneration during RD.

Isolation, Cryopreservation and Culture of Human Amnion Epithelial Cells for Clinical Applications

Human amnion epithelial cells (hAECs) derived from term or pre-term amnion membranes have attracted attention from researchers and clinicians as a potential source of cells for regenerative medicine. The reason for this interest is evidence that these cells have highly multipotent differentiation ability, low immunogenicity, and anti-inflammatory functions. These properties have prompted researchers to investigate the potential of hAECs to be used to treat a variety of diseases and disorders in pre-clinical animal studies with much success.
hAECs have found widespread application for the treatment of a range of diseases and disorders. Potential clinical applications of hAECs include the treatment of stroke, multiple sclerosis, liver disease, diabetes and chronic and acute lung diseases. Progressing from pre-clinical animal studies into clinical trials requires a higher standard of quality control and safety for cell therapy products. For safety and quality control considerations, it is preferred that cell isolation protocols use animal product-free reagents. 
We have developed protocols to allow researchers to isolate, cryopreserve and culture hAECs using animal product-free reagents. The advantage of this method is that these cells can be isolated, characterized, cryopreserved and cultured without the risk of delivering potentially harmful animal pathogens to humans, while maintaining suitable cell yields, viabilities and growth potential. For researchers moving from pre-clinical animal studies to clinical trials, these methodologies will greatly accelerate regulatory approval, decrease risks and improve the quality of their therapeutic cell population.

We describe a protocol to isolate and culture human amnion epithelial cells (hAECs) using animal product-free reagents in accordance with current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) guidelines.

Performing Subretinal Injections in Rodents to Deliver Retinal Pigment Epithelium Cells in Suspension

The conversion of light into electrical impulses occurs in the outer retina and is accomplished largely by rod and cone photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. RPE provide critical support for photoreceptors and death or dysfunction of RPE cells is characteristic of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of permanent vision loss in people age 55 and older. While no cure for AMD has been identified, implantation of healthy RPE in diseased eyes may prove to be an effective treatment, and large numbers of RPE cells can be readily generated from pluripotent stem cells. Several interesting questions regarding the safety and efficacy of RPE cell delivery can still be examined in animal models, and well-accepted protocols used to inject RPE have been developed. The technique described here has been used by multiple groups in various studies and involves first creating a hole in the eye with a sharp needle. Then a syringe with a blunt needle loaded with cells is inserted through the hole and passed through the vitreous until it gently touches the RPE. Using this injection method, which is relatively simple and requires minimal equipment, we achieve consistent and efficient integration of stem cell-derived RPE cells in between the host RPE that prevents significant amount of photoreceptor degeneration in animal models. While not part of the actual protocol, we also describe how to determine the extent of the trauma induced by the injection, and how to verify that the cells were injected into the subretinal space using in vivo imaging modalities. Finally, the use of this protocol is not limited to RPE cells; it may be used to inject any compound or cell into the subretinal space.

Here we present a community accepted protocol in multimedia format for subretinally injecting a bolus of RPE cells in rats and mice. This approach can be used for determining rescue potentials, safety profiles, and survival capacities of grafted RPE cells upon implantation in animal models of retinal degeneration.

Studying Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cell Characteristics for Developing New Treatment Strategies

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) contains a subset of exclusively tumorigenic cancer stem cells (CSCs) which have been shown to drive tumor initiation, metastasis and resistance to radio- and chemotherapy. Here we describe a specific methodology for culturing primary human pancreatic CSCs as tumor spheres in anchorage-independent conditions. Cells are grown in serum-free, non-adherent conditions in order to enrich for CSCs while their more differentiated progenies do not survive and proliferate during the initial phase following seeding of single cells. This assay can be used to estimate the percentage of CSCs present in a population of tumor cells. Both size (which can range from 35 to 250 micrometers) and number of tumor spheres formed represents CSC activity harbored in either bulk populations of cultured cancer cells or freshly harvested and digested tumors 1,2. Using this assay, we recently found that metformin selectively ablates pancreatic CSCs; a finding that was subsequently further corroborated by demonstrating diminished expression of pluripotency-associated genes/surface markers and reduced in vivo tumorigenicity of metformin-treated cells. As the final step for preclinical development we treated mice bearing established tumors with metformin and found significantly prolonged survival. Clinical studies testing the use of metformin in patients with PDAC are currently underway (e.g., NCT01210911, NCT01167738, and NCT01488552). Mechanistically, we found that metformin induces a fatal energy crisis in CSCs by enhancing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and reducing mitochondrial transmembrane potential. In contrast, non-CSCs were not eliminated by metformin treatment, but rather underwent reversible cell cycle arrest. Therefore, our study serves as a successful example for the potential of in vitro sphere formation as a screening tool to identify compounds that potentially target CSCs, but this technique will require further in vitro and in vivo validation to eliminate false discoveries.

Pancreatic cancer stem cells (CSCs) can be expanded in vitro using the anchorage-independent sphere culture technique, which represents a powerful tool to study CSC biology and can serve as the first step to develop novel CSC-targeting therapies. Here the methodology for expanding, analyzing and targeting of pancreatic CSCs is provided.

A Step by Step Protocol for Subretinal Surgery in Rabbits

Age related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa, and other RPE related diseases are the most common causes for irreversible loss of vision in adults in industrially developed countries. RPE transplantation appears to be a promising therapy, as it may replace dysfunctional RPE, restore its function, and thereby vision.
Here we describe a method for transplanting a cultured RPE monolayer on a scaffold into the subretinal space (SRS) of rabbits. After vitrectomy xenotransplants were delivered into the SRS using a custom made shooter consisting of a 20-gauge metallic nozzle with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coated plunger. The current technique evolved in over 150 rabbit surgeries over 6 years. Post-operative follow-up can be obtained using non-invasive and repetitive in vivo imaging such as spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) followed by perfusion-fixed histology.
The method has well-defined steps for easy learning and high success rate. Rabbits are considered a large eye animal model useful in preclinical studies for clinical translation. In this context rabbits are a cost-efficient and perhaps convenient alternative to other large eye animal models.

Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) replacement strategies and gene-based therapy are considered for several retinal degenerative conditions. For clinical translation, large eye animal models are required to study surgical techniques applicable in patients. Here we present a rabbit model for subretinal surgery geared towards RPE transplantation, which is versatile and cost-efficient.

Depletion of Mouse Cells from Human Tumor Xenografts Significantly Improves Downstream Analysis of Target Cells

The use of in vitro cell line models for cancer research has been a useful tool. However, it has been shown that these models fail to reliably mimic patient tumors in different assays1. Human tumor xenografts represent the gold standard with respect to tumor biology, drug discovery, and metastasis research 2-4. Tumor xenografts can be derived from different types of material like tumor cell lines, tumor tissue from primary patient tumors4 or serially transplanted tumors. When propagated in vivo, xenografted tissue is infiltrated and vascularized by cells of mouse origin. Multiple factors such as the tumor entity, the origin of xenografted material, growth rate and region of transplantation influence the composition and the amount of mouse cells present in tumor xenografts. However, even when these factors are kept constant, the degree of mouse cell contamination is highly variable.
Contaminating mouse cells significantly impair downstream analyses of human tumor xenografts. As mouse fibroblasts show high plating efficacies and proliferation rates, they tend to overgrow cultures of human tumor cells, especially slowly proliferating subpopulations. Mouse cell derived DNA, mRNA, and protein components can bias downstream gene expression analysis, next-generation sequencing, as well as proteome analysis 5. To overcome these limitations, we have developed a fast and easy method to isolate untouched human tumor cells from xenografted tumor tissue. This procedure is based on the comprehensive depletion of cells of mouse origin by combining automated tissue dissociation with the benchtop tissue dissociator and magnetic cell sorting. Here, we demonstrate that human target cells can be can be obtained with purities higher than 96% within less than 20 min independent of the tumor type.

Human tumor xenografts are vascularized and infiltrated by cells of mouse origin during the growth phase in vivo. To circumvent the bias caused by these contaminating cells during downstream analysis, we developed a method allowing for comprehensive depletion of all mouse cells by magnetic cell sorting.

Induction of Accelerated Atherosclerosis in Mice: The "Wire-Injury" Model

Atherosclerosis is a proliferative fibro-inflammatory disease developing in the arterial wall, inducing a deficient blood flow or a lack of blood flow. Moreover, by rupture of the defective vascular wall, atherosclerosis induces occlusive thrombus formation, which represents the main cause of myocardial infarction or stroke and the most frequent cause of death. Despite the advances in the cardiovascular field, many questions remain unanswered, and additional basic research is essential to improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms during atherosclerosis and its effects. Due to limited clinical studies, there is a need for representative animal models recreating atherosclerotic conditions such as neointima formation after stent implantation, balloon angioplasty, or endarterectomy. Since the mouse presents many advantages and is the most frequently used model for studying molecular processes, the current study proposes an invasive procedure of endothelial denudation, also known as the wire-injury model, which is representative of the human condition of neointima formation in arteries after revascularization procedures.

This study describes an invasive procedure for the induction of accelerated atherosclerosis in mice. In comparison to other methods using electric- or cryo-induced injury, mechanical-induced injury mimics the human condition of restenosis after revascularization therapies and is ideal for the study of the molecular mechanisms involved.

Phosphorus-31 Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: A Tool for Measuring In Vivo Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation Capacity in Human Skeletal Muscle

Skeletal muscle mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) capacity, which is critically important in health and disease, can be measured in vivo and noninvasively in humans via phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31PMRS). However, the approach has not been widely adopted in translational and clinical research, with variations in methodology and limited guidance from the literature. Increased optimization, standardization, and dissemination of methods for in vivo 31PMRS would facilitate the development of targeted therapies to improve OXPHOS capacity and could ultimately favorably impact cardiovascular health. 31PMRS produces a noninvasive, in vivo measure of OXPHOS capacity in human skeletal muscle, as opposed to alternative measures obtained from explanted and potentially altered mitochondria via muscle biopsy. It relies upon only modest additional instrumentation beyond what is already in place on magnetic resonance scanners available for clinical and translational research at most institutions. In this work, we outline a method to measure in vivo skeletal muscle OXPHOS. The technique is demonstrated using a 1.5 Tesla whole-body MR scanner equipped with the suitable hardware and software for 31PMRS, and we explain a simple and robust protocol for in-magnet resistive exercise to rapidly fatigue the quadriceps muscle. Reproducibility and feasibility are demonstrated in volunteers as well as subjects over a wide range of functional capacities.

Electroporation-Based Genetic Modification of Primary Human Pigment Epithelial Cells Using the Sleeping Beauty Transposon System

Our increasingly aging society leads to a growing incidence of neurodegenerative diseases. So far, the pathological mechanisms are inadequately understood, thus impeding the establishment of defined treatments. Cell-based additive gene therapies for the increased expression of a protective factor are considered as a promising option to medicate neurodegenerative diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We have developed a method for the stable expression of the gene encoding pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), which is characterized as a neuroprotective and anti-angiogenic protein in the nervous system, into the genome of primary human pigment epithelial (PE) cells using the Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system. Primary PE cells were isolated from human donor eyes and maintained in culture. After reaching confluence, 1 x 104 cells were suspended in 11 &#181;L of resuspension buffer and combined with 2 &#181;L of a purified solution containing 30 ng of hyperactive SB (SB100X) transposase plasmid and 470 ng of PEDF transposon plasmid. Genetic modification was carried out with a capillary electroporation system using the following parameters: two pulses with a voltage of 1,100 V and a width of 20 ms. Transfected cells were transferred into culture plates containing medium supplemented with fetal bovine serum; antibiotics and antimycotics were added with the first medium exchange. Successful transfection was demonstrated in independently performed experiments. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) showed the increased expression of the PEDF transgene. PEDF secretion was significantly elevated and remained stable, as evaluated by immunoblotting, and quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). SB100X-mediated transfer allowed for a stable PEDF gene integration into the genome of PE cells and ensured the continuous secretion of PEDF, which is critical for the development of a cell-based gene addition therapy to treat AMD or other retinal degenerative diseases. Moreover, analysis of the integration profile of the PEDF transposon into human PE cells indicated an almost random genomic distribution.
