Satellite cells from adult rat muscle coexpress proliferating cell nuclear antigen and MyoD upon entry into the cell cycle, suggesting that MyoD plays a role during the recruitment of satellite cells. Moreover, the finding that muscle regeneration is compromised in MyoD-/- mice, has provided evidence for the role of MyoD during myogenesis in adult muscle. In order to gain further insight into the role of MyoD during myogenesis in the adult, we compared satellite cells from MyoD-/- and wildtype mice as they progress through myogenesis in single-myofiber cultures and in tissue-dissociated cell cultures (primary cultures). Satellite cells undergoing proliferation and differentiation were traced immunohistochemically using antibodies against various regulatory proteins. In addition, an antibody against the mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1 and ERK2 was used to localize the cytoplasm of the fiber-associated satellite cells regardless of their ability to express specific myogenic regulatory factor proteins. We show that during the initial days in culture the myofibers isolated from both the MyoD-/- and the wildtype mice contain the same number of proliferating, ERK+ satellite cells. However, the MyoD-/- satellite cells continue to proliferate and only a very small number of cells transit into the myogenin+ state, whereas the wildtype cells exit the proliferative compartment and enter the myogenin+ stage. Analyzing tissue-dissociated cultures of MyoD-/- satellite cells, we identified numerous cells whose nuclei were positive for the Myf5 protein. In contrast, quantification of Myf5 + cells in the wildtype cultures was difficult due to the low level of Myf5 protein present. The Myf5 + cells in the MyoD-/- cultures were often positive for desmin, similar to the MyoD+ cells in the wildtype cultures. Myogenin+ cells were identified in the MyoD-/- primary cultures, but their appearance was delayed compared to the wildtype cells. These 'delayed' myogenin+ cells can express other differentiation markers such as MEF2A and cyclin D3 and fuse into myotubes. Taken together, our studies suggest that the presence of MyoD is critical for the normal progression of satellite cells into the myogenin+, differentiative state. It is further proposed that the Myf5+/MyoD- phenotype may represent the myogenic stem cell compartment which is capable of maintaining the myogenic precursor pool in the adult muscle.

- Abstract
Summary: This research was part of a Health Canada funded initiative developed to provide evidence about the effectiveness of interprofessional education (IPE) interventions to promote collaborative patient-centred care. Health professional students'' ratings of health professions and the effect of IPE on those ratings were examined. Participants were divided into three groups (N=51); control, education, and practice site immersion. Utilizing the Student Stereotypes Rating Questionnaire (SSRQ) which consists of a five point Likert-type scale each group rated health professionals on nine characteristics: academic ability, interpersonal skills, professional competence, leadership, practical skills, independence, confidence, decision-making, and being a team player (Hean, Macleod-Clark, Adams, and Humphris, 2006). Data were collected at four time points; prior to an IPE classroom intervention, following an IPE classroom intervention, following the IPE immersion experience, and four months post IPE immersion experience. Overall, perceptions of other health professions were more positive following the 2.5day interprofessional education session and immersion experience. Student ratings of the seven professions among the nine characteristics will be presented, highlighting similarities and differences across professional groups. Findings support the incorporation of IPE curricula that address the role and functions of other health care professions to facilitate the development collaborative patient-centred care health care teams.

Abstract: Age-related muscle atrophy or sarcopenia results in progressive loss of muscle function and satellite cells in aging muscle are increasingly refractory to activation that could mitigate atrophy. We know that nitric oxide release triggered by mechanical stretch of skeletal muscle, initiates satellite cell activation in vitro in single fiber, single cell and whole-muscle cultures, and in vivo in animals. This study examined muscle cell activation using tritiated-thymidine incorporation into the DNA of muscle cells in cultured muscles from female mice between 6 weeks and 18 months-of-age. Experiments examined age-related changes in activation by mechanical stretch and/or NO treatments (with the substrate of nitric oxide synthase (l-arginine), a nitric oxide donor (isosorbide dinitrate) and/or nitric oxide synthase inhibition). Activation without stretch was highest at 8 months. Stretching muscles by 10% more than doubled activation in muscles at 6 weeks of age and only a 20% stretch similarly activated cells in cultured 6-month-old muscles. Only treatment with ISDN in combination with a 20% stretch activated cell proliferation in muscles from 8-month-old mice. A nitric-oxide donor drug rescued muscle satellite cells in adult, 8-month-old mice from being refractory to mechanical stretch, apparently by overcoming an ineffective release of nitric oxide during stretch. Results suggest that treatment with nitric oxide has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of exercise in preventing the onset of age-related muscle atrophy in adult muscle.

Abstract: The rapid development of new diagnostic procedures, the mapping of the human genome, progress in mapping genetic polymorphisms, and recent advances in nucleic acid- and protein chip technologies are driving the development of personalized therapies. This breakthrough in medicine is expected to be achieved largely due to the implementation of “lab-on-the-chip” technology capable of performing hundreds, even thousands of biochemical, cellular and genetic tests on a single sample of blood or other body fluid. Focusing on a few disease-specific examples, this review discusses selected technologies and their combinations likely to be incorporated in the “lab-on-the-chip” and to provide rapid and versatile information about specific diseases entities. Focusing on breast cancer and after an overview of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-screening methodologies, we discuss the diagnostic and prognostic importance of SNPs. Next, using Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) as an example, we provide a brief overview of powerful and innovative integration of traditional immuno-histochemistry techniques with advanced biophysical methods such as NMR-spectroscopy or Fourier-transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. A brief overview of the challenges and opportunities provided by protein and aptamer microarrays follows. We conclude by highlighting novel and promising biochemical markers for the development of personalized treatment of cancer and other diseases: serum cytochrome c, cytokeratin-18 and -19 and their proteolytic fragments for the detection and quantitation of malignant tumor mass, tumor cell turn-over, inflammatory processes during hepatitis and Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-induced hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and apoptotic/necrotic cancer cell death.

MUSCULAR dystrophy , *SATELLITE cells - Abstract
Satellite cells, muscle precursor cells in skeletal muscle, are normally quiescent and become activated by disease or injury. A lack of dystrophin and changes in the expression or activity of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS-I) affect the timing of activation in vivo. Nitric oxide synthase inhibition delays muscle repair in normal mice, and worsens muscular dystrophy in the mdx mouse, a genetic homologue of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, the potential role of activation and repair events mediated by nitric oxide in determining the outcome of steroid or other treatments for muscular dystrophy is not clear. We tested the hypothesis that the extent of repair in dystrophic muscles of mdx mice is partly dependent on NOS-Iμ expression and activity. Myotube formation in regenerating muscle was promoted by deflazacort treatment of mdx dystrophic mice (
P<0.05 ), and improved by combination with the nitric oxide synthase substrate, l-arginine, especially in the diaphragm. NOS-Iμ mRNA expression and activity were present in satellite cells and very new myotubes of regenerating and dystrophic muscle. Deflazacort treatment resulted in increased NOS-Iμ expression in regenerating muscles in a strong and specific correlation with myf5 expression (r=0.95 ,P<0.01 ), a marker for muscle repair. Nitric oxide synthase inhibition prevented the deflazacort-induced rise in NOS-Iμ and myf5 expression in the diaphragm without affecting the diameter of non-regenerating fibres. These in vivo studies suggest that gains in NOS-Iμ expression and nitric oxide synthase activity in satellite cells can increase the extent and speed of repair, even in the absence of dystrophin in muscle fibres. NOS-Iμ may be a useful therapeutic target to augment the effects of steroidal or other treatments of muscular dystrophy. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]- Published

ACCREDITATION , *CELLULAR therapy , *GRAND strategy (Political science) , *QUALITY standards , *ORGANIZATIONAL change - Abstract
• The Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) requires accredited programs to assess patient outcomes, which should meet expected ranges. • Continued 1-year survival that is lower than expected can affect FACT accreditation. • Programs that do not meet expected survival must implement corrective actions. • FACT provides assurance that programs review and improve patient outcomes. The rapid evolution of blood and marrow transplantation (BMT), coupled with diverse outcomes associated with heterogeneous groups of patients, led to the formation of 2 important organizations early in the development of the field: the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) and the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT). These organizations have addressed 2 of the 9 elements identified by the National Quality Strategy (NQS) for achieving better health care, more affordable care, and healthy people and communities: a registry that promotes improvement of care and accreditation based on quality standards. More recently, a federally mandated database in the United States addresses the third element of the NQS: public reporting of treatment results. Here we describe the current process by which FACT incorporates patient outcomes reported by the CIBMTR into standards for accreditation, the requirements for accredited programs with performance below expected outcomes to maintain accreditation, and preliminary findings of an assessment of corrective action plans intended to improve outcomes.

ANTI-inflammatory agents , *MACROPHAGES , *MYOBLASTS , *CELL migration , *SEMAPHORINS , *MUSCLE injuries , *GENE expression - Abstract
Regenerative mechanisms that regulate intramuscular motor innervation are thought to reside in the spatiotemporal expression of axon-guidance molecules. Our previous studies proposed a heretofore unexplored role of resident myogenic stem cell (satellite cell)-derived myoblasts as a key presenter of a secreted neural chemorepellent semaphorin 3A (Sema3A); hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) triggered its expression exclusively at the early-differentiation phase. In order to verify this concept, the present study was designed to clarify a paracrine source of HGF release. In vitro experiments demonstrated that activated anti-inflammatory macrophages (CD206-positive M2) produce HGF and thereby promote myoblast chemoattraction and Sema3A expression. Media from pro-inflammatory macrophage cultures (M1) did not show any significant effect. M2 also enhanced the expression of myoblast-differentiation markers in culture, and infiltrated predominantly at the early-differentiation phase (3–5 days post-injury); M2 were confirmed to produce HGF as monitored by in vivo/ex vivo immunocytochemistry of CD11b/CD206/HGF-positive cells and by HGF in situ hybridization of cardiotoxin- or crush-injured tibialis anterior muscle, respectively. These studies advance our understanding of the stage-specific activation of Sema3A expression signaling. Findings, therefore, encourage the idea that M2 contribute to spatiotemporal up-regulation of extracellular Sema3A concentrations by producing HGF that, in turn, stimulates a burst of Sema3A secretion by myoblasts that are recruited to site of injury. This model may ensure a coordinated delay in re-attachment of motoneuron terminals onto damaged fibers early in muscle regeneration, and thus synchronize the recovery of muscle-fiber integrity and the early resolution of inflammation after injury.

COMPARATIVE studies , *SEMAPHORINS , *SOLEUS muscle , *SATELLITE cells , *IN vitro studies , *MYOGENIN , *GENE expression - Abstract
Abstract: Resident myogenic stem cells, satellite cells, up-regulate a secreted multi-functional modulator, semaphorin 3A (Sema3A), exclusively at the early-differentiation phase in response to muscle-crush injury and treatment with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) or basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2). Here, we add evidence that the Sema3A expression and secretion induced by the growth factors is significantly higher in primary cultures from adult rat soleus than from the fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle. The higher Sema3A response, revealed by quantitative PCR and Western blotting of cell lysates and conditioned media, may account for the higher myogenin expression of soleus muscle satellite cells early in differentiation since addition of recombinant Sema3A stimulates myogenin expression in cultures. These experiments also showed that mRNA expression of plexin A2, which together with neuropilins, constitutes Sema3A composite-receptors, was higher in satellite cells from soleus than EDL with no difference in plexin A1 and A3 and neuropilin-1 and 2 levels. These comparative studies, therefore, highlight a possible Sema3A-plexin A2-myogenin signaling axis that may ensure promoting early differentiation by soleus muscle satellite cells.

HYALURONIC acid , *EXTRACELLULAR matrix , *GENES , *MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDOSIS - Abstract
Abstract: Hyaluronidases are endoglycosidases that initiate the breakdown of hyaluronan (HA), an abundant component of the vertebrate extracellular matrix. In humans, six paralogous genes encoding hyaluronidase-like sequences have been identified on human chromosomes 3p21.3 (HYAL2–HYAL1–HYAL3) and 7q31.3 (SPAM1–HYAL4–HYALP1). Mutations in one of these genes, HYAL1, were reported in a patient with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) IX. Despite the broad distribution of HA, the HYAL1-deficient patient exhibited a mild phenotype, suggesting other hyaluronidase family members contribute to constitutive HA degradation. Hyal3 knockout (Hyal3 −/−) mice were generated to determine if HYAL3 had a role in constitutive HA degradation. Hyal3 −/− mice were viable, fertile, and exhibited no gross phenotypic changes. X-ray analysis, histological studies of joints, whole-body weights, organ weights and the serum HA levels of Hyal3 −/− mice were normal. No evidence of glycosaminoglycan accumulation, including vacuolization, was identified in the Hyal3 −/− tissues analyzed. Remarkably, the only difference identified in Hyal3 − /− mice was a subtle change in the alveolar structure and extracellular matrix thickness in lung-tissue sections at 12–14 months-of-age. We conclude that HYAL3 does not play a major role in constitutive HA degradation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

SEROTONIN , *NEUROTRANSMITTERS , *RADIOLIGAND assay , *LIGAND binding (Biochemistry) - Abstract
Abstract: The structural requirements for high affinity at the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) have been investigated through the preparation of rigid paroxetine analogs. Tropane-derived analogs (4a–i) of paroxetine (2) were designed and synthesized as potential inhibitors of serotonin reuptake based on the structural and biological similarity between the two compound classes. Overall, the affinity of tropane-derived analogs at the 5-HTT was found to be at least an order of magnitude lower than that of paroxetine and ranged from 2–400nM. The reduced affinity at the 5-HTT may be attributed to the inability of the rigid tropane-derived analogs to adopt conformations favored by the 5-HTT. Within the series of tropane analogs, the 2β,3β- and 2β,3α-isomers, 4a and 4d, were the most potent at the DAT and NET and are also significantly more potent than paroxetine (2) suggesting that their reduced conformational flexibility maximizes residence time in conformations favored by these transporters. Examination of the previously published preparation and structural assignment of 4a by additional NMR and X-ray crystallographic data has established that nucleophilic addition to the intermediate 2β-methanesulfonyloxymethyl-3β-(4-fluorophenyl)tropane unexpectedly provided the aza-bicyclo[3.2.2]nonane derivative 10a.
