[Abstract]  

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and their progeny displaying tissue-specific characteristics have paved the way for regenerative medicine and research in various fields such as the elucidation of the pathological mechanism of diseases and the discovery of drug candidates. iPSC-derived neurons are particularly valuable as it is difficult to analyze neural cells obtained from the central nervous system in humans. For neuronal induction with iPSCs, one of the commonly used approaches is the isolation and expansion of neural rosettes, following the formation of embryonic bodies (EBs). However, this process is laborious, inefficient, and requires further purification of the cells. To overcome these limitations, we have developed an efficient neural induction method that allows for

[摘要]  [摘要]人类诱导的多能干细胞(iPSC)及其后代具有组织特异性,为再生医学的研究铺平了道路,并在疾病的病理机制阐明和候选药物的发现等领域进行了研究。iPSC集-来源的神经元是特别有价值的,因为它是难以分析神经细胞获自人类的中枢神经系统。对于用iPSC诱导神经元,最常用的方法之一是在形成胚体(EB)之后分离和扩展神经玫瑰花结。然而,该过程费力,效率低下,并且需要进一步纯化细胞。为了克服这些限制,我们已经开发出一种高效神经诱导方法,该方法允许来自于7天内的iPSC神经干/祖细胞(NSCs / NPC的)的产生和功能的成熟神经元的。我们的方法产生一个PAX6 -阳性同质细胞群中,皮质神经干细胞/ NPC的,和t他所得的NSCs / NPC的可冷冻保存,膨胀,并分化在功能性成熟神经元。此外,我们的协议将比其他方法便宜,因为该协议在神经诱导期间需要较少的神经补充。本文还介绍了FM1 - 43成像测定法中,其是用于所述的iPSC衍生的突触前评估中有用的人类神经元。该协议为生成NSC / NPC和神经元提供了一种快速且简化的方法,使研究人员能够建立体外细胞模型来研究脑部疾病的病理学。

[Abstract]  Human centromeres are composed of large tandem arrays of repetitive alpha satellite DNA, which are often sites of aberrant rearrangement in cancers (Mitelman et al., 1997; Padilla-Nash et al., 2001). To date, annotation of the human centromere repetitive sequences remains incomplete, greatly hindering in-depth functional studies of these regions essential for chromosome segregation. In order to monitor sister chromatid exchange happening at the centromere (C-SCE) due to recombination and mutagenic events, I have applied the Chromosome-Orientation Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (CO-FISH) technique to centromeres (Cen-CO-FISH) in human cells. This hybridization-based method involves (1) the incorporation of nucleotide analogs through a single round of ... [摘要]  人类着丝粒由重复的α卫星DNA的大串联阵列组成,这些细胞通常是癌症中异常重排的位点(Mitelman等人,1997; Padilla-Nash等人 >,2001)。迄今为止,对人类着丝粒重复序列的注释仍然不完整,极大地妨碍了这些区域对染色体分离至关重要的深入功能研究。为了监测由于重组和诱变事件而在着丝粒(C-SCE)上发生姊妹染色单体交换,我将染色体定位荧光原位杂交(CO-FISH)技术应用于着丝粒( Cen-CO-FISH)在人类细胞中的表达。这种基于杂交的方法包括(1)通过单轮复制掺入核苷酸类似物,(2)新合成的DNA链的酶消化和(3)单链探针的后续杂交,在不存在变性步骤的情况下。所产生的信号允许基于DNA的5'-3'方向性差异地标记每个姊妹染色单体,并评估指示C-SCE的异常染色模式。应用于人类着丝粒的Cen-CO-FISH方法揭示,人类着丝粒确实在循环细胞中发生重组,导致C-SCE,并且在经历衰老的癌细胞系和原代细胞中着丝粒不稳定性增强(Giunta和Funabiki,2017)。在这里,我介绍了人类细胞中Cen-CO-FISH方法的制备,实验程序和数据采集的详细方案。它还包括该技术的概念性概述,以及代表性图像和评分准则的示例。 Cen-CO-FISH是促进着丝粒重复探索的有用工具。

Evaluation of Angiogenesis Inhibitors Using the HUVEC Fibrin Bead Sprouting Assay

[Abstract]  Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels, is a critical process that occurs during normal development and tumor formation. Targeting tumor angiogenesis by blocking the activity of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has demonstrated some clinical benefit; nevertheless there is a great need to target additional angiogenic pathways. We have found that the human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) fibrin bead sprouting assay (FBA) is a robust and predictive in vitro assay to evaluate the activity of angiogenesis inhibitors. Here, we describe an optimized FBA protocol for the assessment of biological inhibitors of angiogenesis and the automated quantification of key endpoints. [摘要]  血管发生,来自预先存在的血管的新血管的生长是在正常发育和肿瘤形成期间发生的关键过程。通过阻断血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)的活性靶向肿瘤血管生成已经证明了一些临床益处;然而,非常需要靶向额外的血管生成途径。我们已经发现,人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)纤维蛋白珠发芽测定(FBA)是评估血管生成抑制剂的活性的稳健的和预测性的体外测定。在这里,我们描述了用于评估血管生成的生物抑制剂和关键终点的自动定量的优化的FBA方案。

[背景] 血管发生,新血管的生长从先前存在的血管,是在伤口愈合和正常发育期间发生的生理过程。血管生成是一个复杂和高度调节的过程,涉及内皮细胞增殖,分化,迁移,基质粘附和细胞间的信号的紧密协调。血管发生也严重参与肿瘤发展和转移。事实上,通过阻断血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)的活性靶向肿瘤血管生成已经证明了临床益处。由于肿瘤最终对VEGF靶向治疗产生抗性,因此非常需要靶向额外的血管生成途径。我们已经发现人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)纤维蛋白珠发芽测定(FBA)(Nakatsu等人,2007; Nakatsu和Hughes,2008; ...
