For example, they are used in screening potential insecticides, in making certain proteins for biomedical applications, and in basic research into insect biology. So far, there are no cell lines derived from the black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (BSF). This may become an issue because BSFs are employed in a range of industrial and household processes. BSFs are used in producing biodiesel, in developing cosmetics and skin creams, and in the production of some medicines and animal feeds. BSF larvae process waste streams from a variety of sources into food for some animals and are also used in household composting. Our BSF cell line, designated BCIRL-HiE0122021-SGS, was developed from eggs using the medium CLG#2 (50% L-15 + 50% EX-CELL 420, with 9% FBS and antibiotics), with many other media being tested. This cell line consists of attached cells with a variety of morphologies and its identity was authenticated using CO1 barcoding. A growth curve was generated and the resulting doubling time was 118 h. We quantified the fatty acid methyl esters (FAMES) and recorded the expected range of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated FAMEs, with only trace levels of lauric acid being noted. The BSF cell line is available free of charge by request.","PeriodicalId":13340,"journal":{"name":"In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology.

From these reports, Sema3A is considered to be involved in chondrogenic differentiation and skeletal formation, but there are many unclear points about its function and mechanism in chondrogenic differentiation. This study investigated the pharmacological effects of Sema3A in chondrogenic differentiation. The amount of Sema3A secreted into the culture supernatant was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of chondrogenic differentiation-related factors, such as Type II collagen (COL2A1), Aggrecan (ACAN), hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2), SRY-box transcription factor 9 (Sox9), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and Type X collagen (COL10A1) in ATDC5 cells treated with Sema3A (1,10 and 100 ng/mL) was examined using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Further, to assess the deposition of total glycosaminoglycans during chondrogenic differentiation, ATDC5 cells were stained with Alcian Blue. Moreover, the amount of hyaluronan in the culture supernatant was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The addition of Sema3A to cultured ATDC5 cells increased the expression of Sox9, Runx2, COL2A1, ACAN, HAS2, and COL10A1 during chondrogenic differentiation. Moreover, it enhanced total proteoglycan and hyaluronan synthesis. Further, Sema3A was upregulated in the early stages of chondrogenic differentiation, and its secretion decreased later. Sema3A increases extracellular matrix production and promotes chondrogenic differentiation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate the role of Sema3A on chondrogenic differentiation.","PeriodicalId":13340,"journal":{"name":"In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology.

Testicular extract liquid, which simulates the microenvironment in vivo, induced the third passage BMSCs differentiated into Leydig-like cells. Changes in cell morphology were observed by microscopy, the formation of lipid droplets of androgen precursor was identified by Oil Red Staining, and the expression of testicular specific genes 3β-HSD and SF-1 in testicular stromal cells was detected by RT-qPCR. BMSCs isolated from the bone marrow of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were cultured for 3 generations and identified as qualified BMSCs in terms of morphology and cell surface markers. After 14 days of induction with testicular tissue lysate, lipid droplets appeared in the cytoplasm of P3 BMSCs by Oil Red O staining. RT-qPCR detection was performed on BMSCs on the 3rd, 7th, 14th, and 21st day after induction. Relative expression levels of 3β-HSD mRNA significantly increased after 14 days of induction, while the relative expression of SF-1 mRNA increased after 14 days of induction but was not significant. BMSCs can differentiate into testicular interstitial cells with reserve androgen precursor lipid droplets after induction by testicular tissue lysate. The differentiation ability of BMSCs provides the potential to reconstruct the testicular microenvironment and is expected to fundamentally improve testicular function and provide new treatment options for abnormal spermatogenesis diseases.","PeriodicalId":13340,"journal":{"name":"In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology.

Using 3D powder printing, we created cross-shaped biphasic calcium phosphate scaffolds with a gelatin layer.

The assessment included analyzing cellular proliferation, differentiation, and alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), and concluded with a detailed histological evaluation of bone regeneration. Our study revealed a highly favorable scenario, displaying not only desirable cellular attachment and proliferation on the scaffolds but also a notable enhancement in the ALP activity of hDPSCs, underscoring their pivotal role in bone regeneration. However, the histological examination of calvarial defects at the 12-wk mark yielded a rather modest level of bone regeneration across all experimental groups. The test and cell group exhibited significant bone formation compared to all other groups except the control and cell group. This underscores the complexity of the regenerative process and paves the way for further in-depth investigations aimed at improving the potential of the composite scaffolds.","PeriodicalId":13340,"journal":{"name":"In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology.

Macrophages are important immune cells in inflammation regulation and immune response. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of BP001 on RAW264.7 macrophage activation stimulated by a high glucose environment. Our findings revealed that treatment with BP001 significantly inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in RAW264.7 macrophages exposed to high glucose conditions. Furthermore, we observed that BP001 treatment also down-regulated the expression of BTK in these activated macrophages. To elucidate the underlying mechanism behind these observations, we investigated the phosphorylation level of NF-κB. Our results demonstrated that BP001 treatment led to decreased phosphorylation levels of NF-κB, thereby inhibiting the level of inflammation. In addition, we also found that BP001 could restore RAW264.7 macrophages from the pro-inflammatory state to the normal phenotype and reduce the occurrence of inflammation. The regulatory function of BP001 in autoimmunity is mediated through the degradation of BTK protein, thereby attenuating macrophage activation. Additionally, BTK plays a pivotal role in transcriptional regulation by inducing NF-κB activity. Consequently, it is not difficult to understand that BP001 effectively inhibits inflammation. In conclusion, the present study provides evidence that BP001, a BTK degrader, can serve as a novel immunomodulator of inflammation induced by high glucose, making it an attractive candidate for further investigation.","PeriodicalId":13340,"journal":{"name":"In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology.

Our laboratory has investigated and reported several studies to elucidate the function of HBp17/FGFBP-1 in SCC cells and its potential as a molecular therapeutic target. HBp17/FGFBP-1 transgene exoression in A431-4 cells, a clonal subline of A431 that lacks tumorigenicity and does not express HBp17/FGFBP-1, demonstrated a significantly enhanced proliferation in vitro compared with A431-4 cells, and it acquired tumorigenicity in the subcutis of nude mice. Knockout (KO) of the HBp17/FGFBP-1 by genome editing significantly suppressed tumor growth, cell motility, and tumorigenicity compared with control cells. A comprehensive analysis of expressed molecules in both cell types revealed that molecules that promote epithelial cell differentiation were highly expressed in HBp17/FGFBP-1 KO cells.

Therefore, manufacturers of personal lubricants and medical devices are required to show biocompatibility and safety assessment data to support regulatory decision-making within a specified context of use. Furthermore, due to ethical concerns and the introduction of the 7th amendment of the European Council Directive which bans animal testing for cosmetic ingredients and products coupled with the Food and Drug Administration modernization Act 2.0 guidelines, there is a wave of drive to develop alternative test methods to predict human responses to chemical or formulation exposure. In this framework, there is a potential to use three-dimensional organotypic human vaginal-ectocervical tissue models as a screening tool to predict the vaginal irritation potential of personal lubricants and medicaments. To be physiologically relevant, the in vitro tissue models need to be reconstructed using primary epithelial cells of the specific organ or tissue and produce organ-like structure and functionality that recapitulate the in vivo-like responses. Through the years, progress has been made and vaginal tissue models are manufactured under controlled conditions with a specified performance criterion, which leads to a high level of reproducibility and reliability.

To understand extracellular behavior of Wnt ligands, quantitative analyses such as fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) are highly informative because Wnt dispersal involves physical and biochemical processes, such as diffusion and binding to or dissociation from cell surface molecules, including heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). Here, I briefly discuss representative methods to quantify morphogen dynamics. In addition, I discuss molecular manipulations of morphogens, mainly focusing on use of protein binders, and synthetic biology of morphogens as indicators of current and future directions in this field.","PeriodicalId":13340,"journal":{"name":"In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology.
