  • A preclinical model for predicting drug response in soft-tissue sarcoma with targeted AAVP molecular imaging. 18337507

    Human sarcomas are rare but diverse malignant tumors derived from mesenchymal tissue. Clinical response to therapy is currently determined by the modified World Health Organization (WHO) criteria or the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), but these standards correlate poorly with sarcoma patient outcome. We introduced ligand-directed particles with elements of AAV and phage (AAVP) to enable integration of tumor targeting to molecular imaging. We report drug-response monitoring and prediction in a nude rat model of human sarcoma by AAVP imaging. As a proof-of-concept, we imaged Herpes simplex thymidine kinase in a clinic-ready setting with PET to show that one can a priori predict tumor response to a systemic cytotoxic. Given the target expression in patient-derived sarcomas, this platform may be translated in clinical applications. Sarcoma-specific ligands and promoters may ultimately lead to an imaging transcriptome.

  • Detection of toxin translocation into the host cytosol by surface plasmon resonance. 22231143

    AB toxins consist of an enzymatic A subunit and a cell-binding B subunit(1). These toxins are secreted into the extracellular milieu, but they act upon targets within the eukaryotic cytosol. Some AB toxins travel by vesicle carriers from the cell surface to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) before entering the cytosol(2-4). In the ER, the catalytic A chain dissociates from the rest of the toxin and moves through a protein-conducting channel to reach its cytosolic target(5). The translocated, cytosolic A chain is difficult to detect because toxin trafficking to the ER is an extremely inefficient process: most internalized toxin is routed to the lysosomes for degradation, so only a small fraction of surface-bound toxin reaches the Golgi apparatus and ER(6-12). To monitor toxin translocation from the ER to the cytosol in cultured cells, we combined a subcellular fractionation protocol with the highly sensitive detection method of surface plasmon resonance (SPR)(13-15). The plasma membrane of toxin-treated cells is selectively permeabilized with digitonin, allowing collection of a cytosolic fraction which is subsequently perfused over an SPR sensor coated with an anti-toxin A chain antibody. The antibody-coated sensor can capture and detect pg/mL quantities of cytosolic toxin. With this protocol, it is possible to follow the kinetics of toxin entry into the cytosol and to characterize inhibitory effects on the translocation event. The concentration of cytosolic toxin can also be calculated from a standard curve generated with known quantities of A chain standards that have been perfused over the sensor. Our method represents a rapid, sensitive, and quantitative detection system that does not require radiolabeling or other modifications to the target toxin.

  • Toxicity and genotoxicity of nano-SiO2 on human epithelial intestinal HT-29 cell line. 22378843

    Silica mesoporous nanoparticles have been recently selected for a wide range of applications from electronics to medicine due to their intrinsic properties. Among medical applications, drug delivery using SiO(2) nanoparticles by oral route is under study. Major benefits are expected including higher specificity and sensitivity together with side effect reduction. Since literature shows that very complex and unexpected interactions could occur between nanomaterials and biological systems, one critical issue is to control the nanoparticle cytotoxicity/genotoxicity for normal tissues and specially stomach and intestine when oral route is considered. The aim of the work is to study the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of SiO(2) nanoparticles on HT29 human intestine cell line, using conventional and innovative methodologies, for measuring cell viability and proliferation, global metabolism, genotoxicity, and nanoparticles uptake. Core-dye doped SiO(2) nanoparticles of 25 and 100 nm were specifically synthesized to track nanoparticles incorporation by confocal and video microscopy. Besides conventional approaches (sulforhodamine B, flow cytometry, and γ-H2Ax foci), we have performed a real-time monitoring of cell proliferation using an impedance-based system which ensure no interference between measures and nanoparticles physicochemical characteristics. Overall, our results showed that SiO(2)-25nm and SiO(2)-100nm induced a rather limited cytotoxic and genotoxic effects on HT-29 cells after a 24 h exposure. However, regarding cell viability and genotoxicity, inverse dose-dependent relationships were observed for SiO(2)-100nm nanoparticles. In conclusion, it seems that the higher the dose of SiO(2)-100nm, the lower the cytotoxic/genotoxic effects, data that well illustrate the complexity in identifying and understanding the hazards of nanoparticles for human health.

  • Increased expression of cyclo-oxygenase 2 and vascular endothelial growth factor in lesioned spinal cord by transplanted olfactory ensheathing cells. 15319002

    Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) were transplanted in adult rats after photochemical injury of the spinal cord. Rats received either 180,000 OECs suspended in DMEM or DMEM alone. Locomotor ability scored by the BBB-scale, pain sensibility, and motor and somatosensory evoked potentials were evaluated during the first 14 days post-surgery. At 3, 7, and 14 days, 5 rats per day of both groups were perfused and transverse sections from proximal, lesioned and distal spinal cord blocks were stained for COX-2, VEGF, GFAP and lectin. The BBB-score and the amplitude of motor and somatosensory evoked potentials were significantly higher in OEC- than in DMEM-injected animals throughout follow-up, whereas the withdrawal latency to heat noxious stimulus was lower in OEC- than in DMEM-injected rats. The area of preserved spinal cord and the levels of COX-2 and VEGF staining were significantly higher in OEC- than in DMEM-injected rats. GFAP- but no LEC-positive cells expressed COX-2 staining in OEC-transplanted rats. The density of blood vessels was also significantly increased in OEC- with respect to DMEM-injected rats. Our results show that OECs promote functional and morphological preservation of the spinal cord after photochemical injury, increasing neoangiogenesis and up-regulation of COX-2 and VEGF expression in astrocytes.

  • Novel functional hepatocyte cell line derived from spontaneous dwarf rat: model of growth hormone function in vitro. 21166888

    Currently there is no good hepatocyte model for studying growth hormone (GH) function that reflects its normal physiological roles. Here we report the establishment of a functional hepatocyte cell line, SDRL-1, from the liver of young male spontaneous dwarf rats (SDR), with isolated GH deficiency. This line has been maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM)/F12 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) with retention of a near diploid karyotype for extended periods of time. When grown as a monolayer sheet, it displayed a pavement-like appearance and contact inhibition. These cells have a poorly developed rough endoplasmic reticulum (r-ER), few mitochondria and glycogen granules, and produce a small amount of albumin and α-fetoprotein, that is enhanced when grown on a collagen gel sponge. Human recombinant GH stimulated JAK2 and STAT5b tyrosine phosphorylation and IGF-I production in a concentration-dependent manner. When the cells were cultured with GH-supplemented medium, the number of mitochondria and glycogen granules increased together with the r-ER and Golgi apparatus. A number of microvilli were observed on the surface of the cultured cells, further suggesting that this cell line is composed of normally functioning hepatocytes. In summary, we established a novel hepatocyte cell line (SDRL-1), that appears to display normal function, which we propose can serve as a good in vitro model for studying GH-target organ interactions.

  • Matrix metalloproteinase inhibition causes luminal narrowing and ring thickening in the cricoid cartilage. 20304269

    Luminal expansion of the cricoid cartilage appears to be stunted by loss of luminal epithelium (LE) and can be enhanced by transforming growth factor-beta3 (TGF-beta3). When both the LE and perichondrium are disrupted, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) levels within adjacent chondrocytes are diminished but can be restored by exogenous TGF-beta3. Cricoid growth stunting and luminal expansion that occur in the absence and presence of MMP activity, respectively, suggest that MMPs play an important role in normal subglottal development. The study objective was to determine if MMP inhibition affects cricoid expansion and by what mechanism, which will in turn help to define the mechanism of action of TGF-beta3-induced luminal expansion.

  • An in vitro culture system for long-term expansion of epithelial and mesenchymal salivary gland cells: role of TGF-β1 in salivary gland epithelial and mesenchymal differe ... 23841093

    Despite a pivotal role in salivary gland development, homeostasis, and disease, the role of salivary gland mesenchyme is not well understood. In this study, we used the Col1a1-GFP mouse model to characterize the salivary gland mesenchyme in vitro and in vivo. The Col1a1-GFP transgene was exclusively expressed in the salivary gland mesenchyme. Ex vivo culture of mixed salivary gland cells in DMEM plus serum medium allowed long-term expansion of salivary gland epithelial and mesenchymal cells. The role of TGF-β1 in salivary gland development and disease is complex. Therefore, we used this in vitro culture system to study the effects of TGF-β1 on salivary gland cell differentiation. TGF-β1 induced the expression of collagen, and inhibited the formation of acini-like structures in close proximity to mesenchymal cells, which adapted a fibroblastic phenotype. In contrast, TGF-βR1 inhibition increased acini genes and fibroblast growth factors (Fgf-7 and Fgf-10), decreased collagen and induced formation of larger, mature acini-like structures. Thus, inhibition of TGF-β signaling may be beneficial for salivary gland differentiation; however, due to differential effects of TGF-β1 in salivary gland epithelial versus mesenchymal cells, selective inhibition is desirable. In conclusion, this mixed salivary gland cell culture system can be used to study epithelial-mesenchymal interactions and the effects of differentiating inducers and inhibitors.

  • Strategies for repair of white matter: influence of osmolarity and microglia on proliferation and apoptosis of oligodendrocyte precursor cells in different basal culture ... 24421756

    The aim of the present study has been to obtain high yields of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) in culture. This is a first step in facilitation of myelin repair. We show that, in addition to factors, known to promote proliferation, such as basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) the choice of the basal medium exerts a significant influence on the yield of OPCs in cultures from newborn rats. During a culture period of up to 9 days we observed larger numbers of surviving cells in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), and Roswell Park Memorial Institute Medium (RPMI) compared with Neurobasal Medium (NB). A larger number of A2B5-positive OPCs was found after 6 days in RPMI based media compared with NB. The percentage of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-positive cells was largest in cultures maintained in DMEM and RPMI. The percentage of caspase-3 positive cells was largest in NB, suggesting that this medium inhibits OPC proliferation and favors apoptosis. A difference between NB and DMEM as well as RPMI is the reduced Na(+)-content. The addition of equiosmolar supplements of mannitol or NaCl to NB medium rescued the BrdU-incorporation rate. This suggested that the osmolarity influences the proliferation of OPCs. Plating density as well as residual microglia influence OPC survival, BrdU incorporation, and caspase-3 expression. We found, that high density cultures secrete factors that inhibit BrdU incorporation whereas the presence of additional microglia induces an increase in caspase-3 positive cells, indicative of enhanced apoptosis. An enhanced number of microglia could thus also explain the stronger inhibition of OPC differentiation observed in high density cultures in response to treatment with the cytokines TNF-α and IFN-γ. We conclude that a maximal yield of OPCs is obtained in a medium of an osmolarity higher than 280 mOsm plated at a relatively low density in the presence of as little microglia as technically achievable.
