Previous research has indicated that increased levels of P53 protein during key murine developmental stages cause defects in multiple embryonic tissues, including the heart. These findings were confirmed in several different mouse models of congenital heart defects, but P53 activation in a human system of cardiovascular development is not available. Utilizing human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), we characterized the normal levels of P53 during cardiac differentiation and showed that levels of P53 are high in hiPSCs and decrease upon cardiac lineage commitment. We also observed P53 localization changed from mainly cytoplasmic in iPS colonies to the nucleus in the Nkx2-5 + cardiac progenitor stage. Pharmacological-mediated increase of P53 protein levels with the Mdm2 inhibitor Nutlin-3a during early (mesoderm to cardiac mesoderm) stages of cardiogenesis resulted in a sizeable loss of cardiomyocytes due to increased apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Interestingly, increasing P53 levels did not result in apoptosis at later (cardiac progenitor to beating cardiomyocytes) stages of the cardiac differentiation. These results illustrate the temporal sensitivity to increased P53 levels during cardiogenesis. We conducted RNA-Seq on these cells with or without Nutlin-3a to ascertain transcriptional differences due to increased P53 at the different stages during the differentiation. Our results from the RNA-Seq revealed up-regulation of Sestrins after Nutlin-3a treatment suggesting a new role for P53 in the metabolism of cardiac regeneration.</p>","PeriodicalId":93322,"journal":{"name":"Journal of stem cell reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8415805/pdf/nihms-1732780.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39382286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein we present two protocols for the initial magnetic sorting of ASCs and the subsequent size selective assembly of ASC spheroids; as the critical quality attribute of ASC identity has been shown previously, only spheroid morphology will be studied. Paramagnetic microbeads (Pro-tein G ligand Dynabeads®, Thermo Fisher Scientific) were used to create single-core paramagnetic immunobeads (scPIBs) and dual core paramagnetic immunobeads (dcPIBs). The scPIBs were created by conjugating the paramagnetic microbeads to ASC-selective primary antibodies (mouse antihuman CD 44, CD73, CD90, CD105, BD Biosciences). The dcPIBs were created by initially conjugating the paramagnetic microbeads to secondary antibodies (mouse IgG) and then conjugating the secondary antibodies to the same ASC-selective primary antibodies. The scPIBs and dcPIBs were then admixed within 15 ml of fresh lipoaspirate respectively. The ASC-scPIBs and ASC-dcPIBs were then magnetically precipitated and subsequently cultured in low adherent conditions for five days. Within twenty minutes, scPIBs isolated an average of 1.2 million putative ASCs (8 x 104 cells per ml of lipoaspirate processed) and dcPIBs isolated an average of 1.3 million putative ASCs (8.7 x 104 cells per ml of lipoaspirate processed). Spheroids comprised of ASC-scPIBs were 19.3 µm (average, +/- 5 µm) and spheroids of the ASC-dcPIBs were 216.7 µm (average, +/- 25 µm). ASCs were magnetically precipitated from fresh lipoaspirate in twenty minutes and subsequently underwent self-assembly of small (approximately 20 µm) or large (approximately 220 µm) ASC spheroids over five days. These protocols may be useful in the rapid development of size-selectable ASC spheroids, which may be particularly useful for autologous toxicology, pharmacology, disease modeling, and tissue regeneration.","PeriodicalId":93322,"journal":{"name":"Journal of stem cell reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49385589","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 purpose of this study is to validate a novel method for the enrichment of primary ASCs using paramagnetic beads. Primary rabbit anti-mouse antibodies were bound to paramagnetic microbeads. Secondary antibodies, selective for ASCs, were then bound to the primary antibodies to construct so-called paramagnetic immunobeads (PIBs). PIBs were then added to fresh human lipoaspirate to create ASC-PIB conjugates (aPIBS) over 10 minutes. A hand-held magnet was then placed adjacent to the lipoaspirate-aPIBs mixture, and over the next 10 minutes, the aPIBs were precipitated. Live cell count per mL of lipoaspirate was 9.6 x 104. Scanning electron microscopy revealed precipitates consistent with aPIBs. Flow cytometry identified cell-bound markers for CD90 and CD105 while culture confirmed tri-lineage differentiation, all attributes diagnostic of ASCs. This study validates that functional ASCs may be isolated from lipoaspirate by magnetic enrichment in 20 minutes. As both the harvest of adipose tissue by liposuction and this ASC enrichment technique do not require electricity, fresh primary therapeutic ASCs may be isolated in any point-of-care setting, even in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":93322,"journal":{"name":"Journal of stem cell reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47790238","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}
