Replenishment of malfunctioning β-cells via islet transplantation has the potential to induce long-term glycemic control in the body. However, this treatment option cannot widely be implemented in clinical due to healthy islet donor shortage. Emerging β-cell replacement with human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) provides high remedial therapy hopes. Thus, tremendous progress has been made in developing β-cell differentiation protocols in vitro; however, most of the differentiated iPSC-derived β-cells showed immature phenotypes associated with low efficiency depending on the iPSC lines used, creating a crucial barrier for their clinical implementation. Multiple mechanisms including differences in genetic, cell cycle patterns, and mitochondrial dysfunction underlie the defective differentiation propensity of iPSC into insulin-producing β-cells. Accumulating evidence recently indicated that, following the reprogramming, epigenetic memory inherited from parental cells substantially affects the differentiation capacity of many iPSC lines. Therefore, differences in epigenetic signature are likely to be essential contributing factors influencing the propensity of iPSC differentiation. In this review, we will document the impact of the epigenome on the reprogramming efficacy and differentiation potential of iPSCs and how targeting the epigenetic residual memory could be an additional strategy to improve the differentiation efficiency of existing protocols to generate fully functional hPSC-derived pancreatic β-cells for diabetes therapy and drug screening.</p>","PeriodicalId":9712,"journal":{"name":"Cell and Tissue Research","volume":" ","pages":"267-276"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11870940/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143063946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study assessed the potential of the recently developed Xenium platform for high-resolution spatial transcriptomic analysis of human skeletal muscle histological sections. Human vastus lateralis muscle samples from two individuals were analysed using the Xenium platform and Human Multi-Tissue and Cancer Panel targeting 377 genes complemented by staining of successive sections for Myosin Heavy Chain isoforms to differentiate between type 1 and type 2 muscle fibres. Manual segmentation of muscle fibres allowed accurate comparisons of transcript densities across fibre types and subcellular regions, overcoming limitations in the platform's automated segmentation. The analysis revealed higher transcript density in type 1 fibres, particularly in nuclear and perinuclear areas, and identified 191 out of 377 genes with differential expression between muscle fibres and perimysium. Genes such as PROX1, S100A1, LGR5, ACTA2, and LPL exhibited higher expression in type 1 fibres, whereas PEBP4, CAVIN1, GATM, and PVALB in type 2 fibres. We demonstrated that the Xenium platform is capable of high-resolution spatial in situ transcriptomic analysis of skeletal muscle histological sections.

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are present in the adult brains of all mammalian species and contribute to the continuous generation of neural cells throughout life. The disruption of glutamate levels during the development of AD could impact NSCs' functionality, influencing their response to the microenvironment. In this work, we isolated adult neural stem cells from both triple transgenic (3xTg)-AD mice and age-matched wild type (WT) mice in order to gather information on any differences between them, particularly concerning the potential mechanisms involved in the internalisation of glutamate and its utilisation for energy production. The 3xTg model offers the ability to recapitulate human pathology with both plaque and tangle hallmarks that are involved in the process of glutamate release. In vitro culture 3xTg NSCs showed a slight morphological difference compared to WT cells and a massive reduction of proliferation and viability. Furthermore, 3xTg NSCs displayed an increase in the expression of glutamate transporters and glutamine synthetase, while glutamate dehydrogenase did not show any reduction, which is typical in AD brains. Data obtained from this basic research study suggest a possible involvement of glutamate in the cellular energy balance, indicating an attempted response of NSCs to the cytotoxic microenvironment in the early stage of AD pathology. This finding is of great interest, as it corroborates the hypothesis that targeting the glutamatergic system could be an extremely promising strategy for new therapeutics in AD.</p>","PeriodicalId":9712,"journal":{"name":"Cell and Tissue Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143440032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first 25 years, before the sequencing of the Drosophila genome, were characterized by efforts to identify novel NPHs by biochemical means, mapping of their distribution in neurons, neurosecretory cells, and endocrine cells of the intestine. Functional studies of NPHs were predominantly dealing with hormonal aspects of peptides and many employed ex vivo assays. With the annotation of the Drosophila genome, and more specifically of the NPHs and their receptors in Drosophila and other insects, a new era followed. This started with matching of NPH ligands to orphan receptors, and studies to localize NPHs with improved detection methods. Important advances were made with introduction of a rich repertoire of innovative molecular genetic approaches to localize and interfere with expression or function of NPHs and their receptors. These methods enabled cell- or circuit-specific interference with NPH signaling for in vivo assays to determine roles in behavior and physiology, imaging of neuronal activity, and analysis of connectivity in peptidergic circuits. Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in reports on the multiple functions of NPHs in development, physiology and behavior.

Aggregated α-syn has been found in brain, in the peripheral nerves of the enteric nervous system (ENS) and in the intestinal neuroendocrine cells during synucleinopathies and inflammatory bowel disorders. In the present study, we evaluated the histomorphological features of murine colon with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis, a common model of colitis. Thereafter, we investigated the expression of α-syn, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and calcitonin-like receptor (CALCR). Finally, we investigated the presence of phosphorylated α-syn (pS129 α-syn) aggregates and their relationship with inflammatory cells. Colon from TNBS mice showed an increase in inflammatory cells infiltrate and significative changes in the architecture of the intestinal mucosa. α-Syn expression was significantly higher in inflamed colon. VIP was increased in both the mucosa and muscularis externa of TNBS mice, while TH, CGRP, and CALCR were significantly reduced in TNBS mice. Amyloid aggregates of pS129 α-syn were detectable in the ENS, as in the macrophages around the glands of the mucosa correlating with the markers of inflammation. This study describes - for the first time - the altered expression of α-syn and the occurrence of amyloid α-syn aggregates in the inflammatory cells under colitis, supporting the critical role of bowel inflammation in synucleinopathies and the involvement of α-syn in IBD.</p>","PeriodicalId":9712,"journal":{"name":"Cell and Tissue Research","volume":" ","pages":"247-265"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11787265/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142799434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
