Therefore, it is essential to eliminate tumorigenic cells selectively. In this study, a mixed culture of normal human fetal hepatocytes (Hc cells) and human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HuH-7 cells) was used as a cell population model to be used as regenerative medicine products, and the selective elimination of HuH-7 cells by hybrid liposomes (HL) was analyzed. HL tended to fuse and accumulate more in HuH-7 cells due to larger fluidity of plasma membrane for HuH-7 cells than that for Hc cells. In a mixed culture of Hc and HuH-7 cells, HL selectively eliminated HuH-7 cells while allowing Hc cells to remain viable. In addition, HL treatment for the mixed culture of Hc and HuH-7 cells suppressed the tumorigenicity of HuH-7 cells. Therefore, HL selectively fused and accumulated in tumorigenic cells in a mixed cell culture of normal and tumorigenic cells, and eliminated tumorigenic cells while allowing normal cells to remain viable. The results of this study suggest the potential of HL in eliminating tumorigenic cells during the manufacturing of regenerative medicine products.

Moreover, elevation of GLRX2 reversed the inhibition of cell viability in LPS-treated HUVECs and decreased LPS-induced increases in cell apoptosis and caspase-3 activity. Additionally, enhancement of GLRX2 expression antagonized oxidative stress in HUVECs under LPS exposure by inhibiting ROS, lactate dehydrogenase and malondialdehyde production and increased activity of anti-oxidative stress superoxide dismutase. Notably, GLRX2 abrogated LPS-evoked transcripts and releases of pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β), chemokine MCP-1 and adhesion molecule ICAM-1 expression. Furthermore, the activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling was demonstrated in LPS-stimulated HUVECs.

Aspects that impact the delivery of CPPs are typically characterized using tissue culture models. One problem of using cell culture is that cell culture protocols have the potential to contribute to endosomal uptake and endosomal release of CPPs. Hence, a systematic study to identify which aspects of cell culturing techniques impact the endocytic uptake of a typical CPP, the TMR-TAT peptide (peptide sequence derived from HIV1-TAT with the N-terminus labeled with tetramethylrhodamine), was conducted. Aspects of cell culturing protocols previously found to generally modulate endocytosis, such as cell density, washing steps, and cell aging, did not affect TMR-TAT endocytosis. In contrast, cell dissociation methods, media, temperature, serum starvation, and media composition all contributed to changes in uptake. To establish a range of endocytosis achievable by different cell culture protocols, TMR-TAT uptake was compared among protocols. These protocols led to changes in uptake of more than 13-fold, indicating that differences in cell culturing techniques have a cumulative effect on CPP uptake. Taken together this study highlights how different protocols can influence the amount of endocytic uptake of TMR-TAT. Additionally, parameters that can be exploited to improve CPP accumulation in endosomes were identified. The protocols identified herein have the potential to be paired with other delivery enhancing strategies to improve overall delivery efficiency of CPPs.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10616-023-00591-1.</p>","PeriodicalId":10890,"journal":{"name":"Cytotechnology","volume":"75 6","pages":"473-490"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10575844/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41233116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pre-treatment with a high concentration of trehalose allows Pv11 cells to enter anhydrobiosis. In the dry state, Pv11 cells preserve transgenic luciferase while retaining its activity. Thus, these cells could be utilized for dry-preserving antibodies, enzymes, signaling proteins or other valuable biological materials without denaturation. However, Pv11 cells grow in suspension, which limits their applicability; for instance, they cannot be integrated into microfluidic devices or used in devices such as sensor chips. Therefore, in this paper, we developed an effective immobilization system for Pv11 cells that, crucially, allows them to maintain their anhydrobiotic potential even when immobilized. Pv11 cells exhibited a very high adhesion rate with both biocompatible anchor for membrane (BAM) and Cell-Tak coatings, which have been reported to be effective on other cultured cells. We also found that Pv11 cells immobilized well to uncoated glass if handled in serum-free medium. Interestingly, Pv11 cells showed desiccation tolerance when trehalose treatment was done prior to immobilization of the cells. In contrast, trehalose treatment after immobilization of Pv11 cells resulted in a significant decrease in desiccation tolerance. Thus, it is important to induce anhydrobiosis before immobilization.
