ASCs have stimulated the interest of both the scientific and medical communities due to their therapeutic potential and applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. ASCs are leveraged for their multipotency and their paracrine function. ASC behavior is highly variable and donor dependent. Donor age, body mass index, disease status, sex, and ethnicity can lead to differential overall function and quality. The impact of donor age and passage on ASC behavior has been well documented, impacting cell proliferation and differentiation potential and thus must be taken into careful consideration when conducting in vitro studies. Pooling of ASCs from different donors reduces heterogeneity among individual donors and produces ASCs with a consistent differentiation and paracrine profiles, an advantage for studies in biological aging. This chapter provides a detailed overview for studies related to quality control for ASC pools considering biological and chronological aging in ASCs. There are hallmarks of biological aging and specific assays associated with the evaluation of each hallmark. Nevertheless, here we present the assays that provide a standardized characterization and qualification of donor pools for their regenerative potential, considering chronological and biological age of the pool. The assays included in this chapter are considered quality control standards to evaluate cell proliferation, differentiation, colony-forming units, and cellular senescence from different donor age and cell passage cohorts.","PeriodicalId":18490,"journal":{"name":"Methods in molecular biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141600546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is an essential mechanism for maintaining cellular homeostasis removing toxic substances and providing energy during times of stress or nutrient deprivation. When autophagy is dysregulated or impaired, it can have detrimental effects on cell function and overall health. Studying autophagy in skin exposed to pollutants can provide valuable insights into the cellular mechanisms underlying pollutant-induced skin damage. Proteomic methods, which involve the large-scale analysis of proteins, can be employed to investigate the changes in protein expression associated with biological processes including autophagy. Here, we thus describe a method where LC-MS/MS was applied to identify the deregulated proteins in pollutant exposed-skin. Using bioinformatics and statistical analysis, we extracted the qualitative and quantitative information for proteins involved in autophagy. These deregulated proteins were then validated by immunohistochemistry (IHC). These methods help to understand how the pollutants affect the autophagy process.","PeriodicalId":18490,"journal":{"name":"Methods in molecular biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141600545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, conventional organoid protocols often overlook the role of microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system. Microglia dysfunction is implicated in various neurological disorders, highlighting the need for their inclusion in organoid models. Here, we present a novel method for generating neuroimmune assembloids using human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cortical organoids and microglia. Building upon our previous work generating myelinating cortical organoids, we extend our methodology to include the integration of microglia, ensuring their long-term survival and maturation within the organoids. We describe two integration methods: one involving direct addition of microglia progenitors to the organoids and an alternative approach where microglia and dissociated neuronal progenitors are aggregated together in a defined ratio. To facilitate downstream analysis, we also describe a dissociation protocol for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and provide guidance on fixation, cryosectioning, and immunostaining of assembloid structures. Overall, our protocol provides a comprehensive framework for generating neuroimmune assembloids, offering researchers a valuable tool for studying the interactions between neural cell types and immune cells in the context of neurological diseases.","PeriodicalId":18490,"journal":{"name":"Methods in molecular biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141555217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The balance between quiescent and proliferating states is vital for maintenance of stem cells over the lifespan, and its disturbance may lead to premature depletion of the stem cell pool and loss of the tissue regenerative or renewal capacity at later stages of life. The question on how this balance is regulated is of critical importance in stem cell research and biology of aging. Assessment of the balance between quiescent and proliferating states has remained challenged until recently due to the lack of approaches for robust determination of the rate at which stem cells exit reversible cell cycle arrest. Here, we propose a simple method for detection of those stem cells that have entered the division cycle after a prolonged period of quiescence.The method combines cumulative and pulse labeling with thymidine analogues 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU). In the discussed labeling scheme, cells that have incorporated only the second label, EdU, are de novo dividing cells. The suggested double labeling method provides quantitative assessment of the rate at which stem cells exit the quiescent state and allows the fates of de novo dividing stem cells to be traced.","PeriodicalId":18490,"journal":{"name":"Methods in molecular biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141534800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This balance is maintained by self-renewing hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and various progenitor cells. Under typical circumstances, HSCs are not abundantly found in peripheral blood; hence, their mobilization from the bone marrow is vital. Hematopoietic growth factors achieve this effectively, enabling mobilization and thus allowing blood sample and thus HSC collection via apheresis. Securing a sufficient supply of HSCs is vital for successful hematopoietic reconstitution and the rapid integration of committed cells. Thus, isolation and expansion of HSCs are crucial for convenient extraction, production of transplantable quantities, genetic modifications for enhanced therapeutic efficacy, and as a source of increased/expanded/synthesized blood cells in vitro. In conclusion, the isolation and expansion of HSCs play pivotal roles in both regenerative medicine and hematology. This protocol describes the isolation of human HSCs by providing an overview of the primary method for isolating human hematopoietic stem cells from apheresis blood samples and sheds light on human HSC studies and developments in research and medicine.","PeriodicalId":18490,"journal":{"name":"Methods in molecular biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141534801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
