Cytology ,QH573-671 - Abstract
Abstract Background Complex carbohydrate structures, glycans, are essential components of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans. While individual glycan structures including the SSEA and Tra antigens are already used to define undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells (hESC), the whole spectrum of stem cell glycans has remained unknown. We undertook a global study of the asparagine-linked glycoprotein glycans (N-glycans) of hESC and their differentiated progeny using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometric and NMR spectroscopic profiling. Structural analyses were performed by specific glycosidase enzymes and mass spectrometric fragmentation analyses. Results The data demonstrated that hESC have a characteristic N-glycome which consists of both a constant part and a variable part that changes during hESC differentiation. hESC-associated N-glycans were downregulated and new structures emerged in the differentiated cells. Previously mouse embryonic stem cells have been associated with complex fucosylation by use of SSEA-1 antibody. In the present study we found that complex fucosylation was the most characteristic glycosylation feature also in undifferentiated hESC. The most abundant complex fucosylated structures were Lex and H type 2 antennae in sialylated complex-type N-glycans. Conclusion The N-glycan phenotype of hESC was shown to reflect their differentiation stage. During differentiation, hESC-associated N-glycan features were replaced by differentiated cell-associated structures. The results indicated that hESC differentiation stage can be determined by direct analysis of the N-glycan profile. These results provide the first overview of the N-glycan profile of hESC and form the basis for future strategies to target stem cell glycans.

Cytology ,QH573-671 - Abstract
Abstract Background There is a growing interest in cord blood as a source of primitive stem cells with the capacity for multilineage differentiation. Pure cell fractions are needed for the characterization and in vitro expansion of stem cells as well as for their use in preclinical research. However, enrichment of stem cells is challenging due to the lack of stem cell-specific markers and gentle protocols for the isolation of highly pure stem cell fractions. Protocols developed for the enrichment of peripheral blood-derived stem cells have been found to be suboptimal for cord blood. Results In this study, immunomagnetic cell sorting protocols to purify CD34+, CD133+ and Lin- cells from fresh and cryopreserved cord blood were optimized. Reproducible purities of up to 97% were reached. The selected cells were highly viable having substantial colony-forming potential. Conclusion The optimized protocols enable rapid enrichment of highly pure hematopoietic stem cells from both fresh and cryopreserved cord blood.

- Abstract
In this review, we present for the first time an integrated version of the Gene[rate] computer tools which have been developed during the last 5 years to analyse human leukocyte antigen (HLA) data in human populations, as well as the results of their application to a large dataset of 145 HLA-typed population samples from Europe and its two neighbouring areas, North Africa and West Asia, now forming part of the Gene[va] database. All these computer tools and genetic data are, from now, publicly available through a newly designed bioinformatics platform, HLA-net, here presented as a main achievement of the HLA-NET scientific programme. The Gene[rate] pipeline offers user-friendly computer tools to estimate allele and haplotype frequencies, to test Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE), selective neutrality and linkage disequilibrium, to recode HLA data, to convert file formats, to display population frequencies of chosen alleles and haplotypes in selected geographic regions, and to perform genetic comparisons among chosen sets of population samples, including new data provided by the user. Both numerical and graphical outputs are generated, the latter being highly explicit and of publication quality. All these analyses can be performed on the pipeline after scrupulous validation of the population sample's characterisation and HLA typing reporting according to HLA-NET recommendations. The Gene[va] database offers direct access to the HLA-A, -B, -C, -DQA1, -DQB1, -DRB1 and -DPB1 frequencies and summary statistics of 145 population samples having successfully passed these HLA-NET 'filters', and representing three European subregions (South-East, North-East and Central-West Europe) and two neighbouring areas (North Africa, as far as Sudan, and West Asia, as far as South India). The analysis of these data, summarized in this review, shows a substantial genetic variation at the regional level in this continental area. These results have main implications for population genetics, SCOPUS: re.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

- Abstract
Deficiencies of the early components of the classical complement pathway impair the actions of innate and humoral immunity and may lead to increased susceptibility to infections. We have studied the genetic basis of total C4B deficiency in a Finnish patient with recurrent meningitis, chronic fistulas and abscesses. The maternal chromosome carried a four-gene deletion including the C4B gene, and a conversion from C4B to C4A gene was found on the paternal chromosome resulting in complete deficiency of C4B. In the converted C4A gene, mutation screening did not reveal any amino acid changes or prominent mutations, yet a large number of nucleotide variations were found. Further, the patient was heterozygous for structural deficiency of mannan binding lectin (MBL) associating with medium levels of serum MBL. Our data provides new information on the genetic instability of the C4 gene region, and on the association of homozygous C4B deficiency and variant MBL genotype with increased susceptibility to recurrent and chronic infections. Importantly, plasma therapy induced a prompt clinical cure with long-term effects.

Human stem cells contain substantial amounts of the xenoantigen N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), although the levels of Neu5Gc are low or undetectable in human body fluids and most other human tissues. The lack of Neu5Gc in human tissues has been previously explained by the loss of hydroxylase activity of the human CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH) protein caused by a genetic error in the human Cmah gene. We thus wanted to investigate whether the human redundant Cmah gene could still function in stem cell-specific processes. In this study, we show that CMAH gene expression is significantly upregulated in the adult stem cell populations studied, both of hematopoietic and mesenchymal origin, and identify CMAH as a novel stem cell marker. The CMAH content co-occurs with higher levels of Neu5Gc within stem cells as measured by mass spectrometric profiling. It seems that despite being enzymatically inactive, human CMAH may upregulate the Neu5Gc content of cells by enhancing Neu5Gc uptake from exogenous sources. Furthermore, exposure to exogenous Neu5Gc caused rapid phosphorylation of b-catenin in both CMAH overexpressing cells and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, thereby inactivating Wnt/b-catenin signaling. The data demonstrate the first molecular evidence for xenoantigen Neu5Gc-induced alteration of crucial stem cell-specific signaling systems for the maintenance of self renewal. These results add further emphasis to the crucial need for completely xenofree culturing conditions for human stem cells. STEM CELLS 2010;28:258-267 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Somatic stem cell transplantation holds great promise in regenerative medicine. The best-characterized adult stem cells are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), neural stem cells (NSCs), and CD133
+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The applications of HSCs are hampered since these cells are difficult to maintain in an undifferentiated state in vitro. understanding genes responsible for stem cell properties and their interactions will help on this issue. The construction of stem cell genetic networks will also help to develop rational strategies to revert somatic cells back to a stem-like state. We performed a systemic study on human CD133+ HSCs, NSCs, MSCs, and embryonic stem cells and two different progenies of CD133+ HSCs, microvascular endothelial cells (MVECs) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Genes abundant in each or in all three somatic stem cells were identified. We also observed complex genetic networks functioning in postnatal stem cells, in which several genes, such as PTPN11 and DHFR, acted as hubs to maintain the stability and connectivity of the whole genetic network. Eighty-seven HSC genes, including ANGPT1 and GATA2, were independently identified by comparing CD34+ CD33- CD38- hematopoietic stem cells with CD34+ precursors and various matured progenies. Introducing GATA2 into MVECs resulted in dedifferentiation-like transcriptome reprogramming, with HSC genes (such as ANGPT1) being up and endothelial genes (such as EPHB2) being down. This study provides a foundation for a more detailed understanding of human somatic stem cells. Expressing the newly discovered stem cell genes in matured cells might lead to a global reversion of somatic transcriptome to a stem-like status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
CD34 and CD133 are the most commonly used markers to enrich hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Positively selected HSCs are increasingly used for autologous and allogeneic transplantation, yet the biological properties of CD34+ and CD133+ cells are largely unknown. In the present study, a genome-wide gene expression analysis of human cord blood (CB)-derived CD34+ cells was performed. The CD34+ gene expression profile was compared to an identically constructed CD133+ gene expression profile to reveal the specific expression patterns and major differences of CD34+ and CD133+ cells. As expected, many genes were similarly expressed in the two cell populations, but cell-type-specific gene expression was also demonstrated. Self-organizing map analysis was used to identify transcripts having similar expression patterns, and the results were compared between CD34+ and CD133+ cells. Also, a prioritization algorithm was used to rank the genes best separating CD34+ and CD133+ cells from their CD34− and CD133− counterparts in CB. Our results show that CD133+ cells have higher numbers of up-regulated genes than CD34+ cells. Furthermore, the uniquely expressed genes in CD34+ or CD133+ cell populations were associated with different biological processes. CD34+ cells overexpressed many transcripts associated with development and response to stress or external stimuli. In CD133+ cells, the most significantly represented biological processes were establishment and maintenance of chromatin architecture, DNA metabolism, and cell cycle. The differences between the gene expression profiles of CD34+ and CD133+ cells indicate the more primitive nature of CD133+ cells. These profiles suggest that CD34+ and CD133+ cells may have different roles in hematopoietic regeneration.

- Abstract
Renal transplantation is a preferred choice of treatment for patients who have lost their kidney function due to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Transplantations in Finland have been centralized to Helsinki University Hospital for both paediatric and adult patients. The results of the kidney transplantation program in Finland have improved over the years and are now excellent, with a one-year graft survival of over 90 %. The major improvements concern short-term problems, and the main challenge today is chronic rejection and long-term survival. The key to further improvements is prevention of chronic rejection and the adequate level of immunosuppression. This thesis was designed to study the prevalence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies and to evaluate the relevance of identified donor-specific antibodies (DSA) in the graft outcome. The focus was on graft function, as assessed by the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and occurrence of delayed graft function (DGF). Another goal for this study was to evaluate various techniques for measuring the immunisation status of a patient and the sensitivity and specificity of different crossmatch techniques with the aim of developing practices in histocompatibility testing. Several cohorts were used in this study. HLA allele frequency, haplotype and panel reactive antibody (PRA) calculations included the data provided by the Finnish Bone Marrow Donor Registry (19807 individuals) and the Finnish Cord Blood Bank (2699 individuals). In addition, 30 immunised patients were included. A total of 235 patients waiting for kidney transplant and 40 deceased donors were used in the prediction of crossmatch outcome. Retrospective clinical studies included 123 pediatric and 771 adult kidney transplant patients. In our study of the Finnish population, a limited amount of allelic diversity was found. For many HLA antigens, practically only one allele is identified. For example, it is extremely unlikely that A3, A11 and A24 are found to be alleles other than A*03:01, A*11:01 or A*24:02, respectively. Also, the most common Finnish HLA haplotypes have very high frequencies when compared to other populations and some haplotypes are unique to the Finnish population. In virtual PRA, HLA antibodies identified against all potential donors were assessed and reported as a PRA% value. This value describes the percentage of donors that present antigens that the patient is immunised against. Due to the uniqueness of the Finnish HLA composition, the use of a calculated population-specific PRA provides a more accurate and reliable estimate of the level of immunisation against available donors Three different crossmatch methods were compared against virtual crossmatch (VXM) results. The flow cytometric crossmatch (FCXM) and Luminex crossmatch (LXM) proved to be the most accurate methods according to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, with area under curve (AUC) values of 0.861 and 0.805, respectively. The performance of the complement-mediated lymphocytotoxicity crossmatch (CDCXM) was not as good (AUC: 0.724). There was no clear correlation between the serum samples providing false positive and negative results in each crossmatch technique, which indicates that the main reason for the differences is that each method identifies a different type of antibodies. In the pediatric cohort, HLA antibodies were detected in half of the samples. During the follow-up, one third of the patients presented antibodies against the transplanted kidney. We did not find any association between DSA and poor GFR at the time of sampling or later during the follow-up. In the adult cohort one third (265/771) of the patients were immunised. DSA was detected in 13% (103/771) of the patients at the time of transplantation, even with a negative CDCXM. DGF was more common in patients with DSA than in non-immunised patients (48% and 26%, respectively). DSA against all loci contributed a risk for DGF, but DRB1 seemed to provide the highest relative risk (RR) individually (RR 2.4). Also, the number of DSA and the strength of DSA as measured by cumulative mean fluorescence intensity were significant factors. Munuaisensiirto on hoitomuoto potilaille, joiden omat munuaiset ovat menettäneet toimintakykynsä. Sekä aikuispotilaiden että lapsipotilaiden elinsiirtotoiminta on suomessa keskitetty Helsinkiin. Munuaisensiirtojen tulokset ovat parantuneet ja siirrännäisistä yli 90 % toimii edelleen vuoden kuluttua siirrosta. Etenkin varhaisvaiheen ongelmien hoito on kehittynyt ja tämän päivän haasteet liittyvät erityisesti krooniseen hyljintään ja siirrännäisen pitkäaikaisennusteen parantamiseen. Jotta munuaisensiirtojen tulokset voisivat parantua entisestään, tulisi kiinnittää huomiota kroonisen rejektion varhaiseen tunnistamiseen ja riittävän immunosupression ylläpitämiseen. Tämän väitöskirjatutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tutkia siirrännäiseen kohdistuvien HLA vasta-aineiden (DSA) vaikutusta munuaisensiirron ennusteeseen. Tutkimuksessa munuaisen toimintaa mitattiin munuaissuodoksella ja siirrännäisen viivästyneellä käynnistymisellä. Työssä vertailtiin myös useita potilaan immunisaatiotason mittaamiseen käytettäviä tutkimusmenetelmiä ja pyrittiin määrittämään DSA:lle raja-arvot, jotka ennustavat valkosolujen sopivuuskokeiden tuloksia. Tavoitteena oli kehittää elinsiirtoihin liittyvien kudossopeutuvuustutkimusten käytäntöjä. Kussakin väitöskirjatutkimuksen osatyössä käytettiin omaa tutkimusaineistoaan. Suomen Kantasolurekisterin (19807 liittyjää) ja Istukkaveripalvelun rekisterin (2699) luovuttajien HLA tietoja käytettiin HLA alleelifrekvenssien ja haplotyyppien määrittämiseen. 30 immunisoituneen potilaan vasta-ainetietoja käytettiin laskennallisen PRA:n määrittämiseen. Laboratoriotekniikoita vertailevassa osatyössä oli mukana 235 elinsiirtoa odottavaa potilasta ja 40 luovuttajaehdokasta. Munuaissiirteen ennusteeseen liittyvissä osatöissä oli mukana 123 lapsipotilasta ja 771 aikuispotilasta. Suomalaisessa väestössä havaittiin rajallinen määrä HLA-alleeleita. Yleisimmillä Suomalaisilla HLA-yhdistelmillä eli haplotyypeillä on hyvin korkea esiintyvyys verrattuna muihin väestöihin ja monet haplotyypeistä ovat väestöllemme omaleimaisia. Väestön HLA-jakauman perusteella voidaan määrittää laskennallinen PRA, joka kuvaa potilaan immunisaation tasoa suhteutettuna Suomalaiseen luovuttajajoukkoon. Elinsiirtoa odottavalle potilaalle pyritään löytämään kudostyypiltään sopiva luovuttaja, jota vastaan potilas ei ole immunisoitunut. Todennäköisyys sopivan siirrännäisen löytymiseen voidaan määrittää vertaamalla potilaan HLA-vasta-aineita luovuttajajoukon HLA-tekijöihin. Menetelmävertailussa havaittiin, että virtaussytometrinen- (FCXM) ja Luminex- (LXM) sopivuuskoe korreloivat parhaiten DSA-tulosten kanssa. Sytotoksinen sopivuuskoe yhdistettynä virtuaaliseen sopivuuskokeeseen kuitenkin antaa mahdollisuuden riskiarviointiin ja merkittävästi vähentää siirtoon liittyviä komplikaatioita. Lapsipotilailla tehdyssä tutkimuksessa puolessa tutkituista näytteistä todettiin HLA-vasta-aineita. Siirron jälkeisenä seuranta-aikana kolmanneksella potilaista todettiin HLA-vasta-aineita siirrännäistä kohtaan. Löydökset eivät kuitenkaan ennustaneet munuaissuodoksella mitattua munuaisen toimintakykyä. Aikuispotilailla tehdyssä tutkimuksessa havaittiin, että kolmannes potilaista oli immunisoitunut ennen munuaisensiirtoa ja 13 %:lla vasta-aineet kohdistuivat siirrännäiseen. Näillä potilailla siirrännäisen käynnistymisen viivästyminen onkin kaksi kertaa todennäköisempää.

New blood cells are continuously provided by self-renewing multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). The capacity of HSCs to regenerate the hematopoietic system is utilized in the treatment of patients with hematological malignancies. HSCs can be enriched using an antibody-based recognition of CD34 or CD133 glycoproteins on the cell surface. The CD133+ and CD34+ cells may have partly different roles in hematopoiesis. Furthermore, each cell has a glycome typical for that cell type. Knowledge of HSC glycobiology can be used to design therapeutic cells with improved cell proliferation or homing properties. The present studies characterize the global gene expression profile of human cord blood-derived CD133+ and CD34+ cells, and demonstrate the differences between CD133+ and CD34+ cell populations that may have an impact in transplantation when CD133+ and CD34+ selected cells are used. In addition, these studies unravel the glycome profile of primitive hematopoietic cells and reveal the transcriptional regulation of N-glycan biosynthesis in CD133+ and CD34+ cells. The gene expression profile of CD133+ cells represents 690 differentially expressed transcripts between CD133+ cells and CD133- cells. CD34+ cells have 620 transcripts differentially expressed when compared to CD34- cells. The integrated CD133+/CD34+ cell gene expression profiles proffer novel transcripts to specify HSCs. Furthermore, the differences between the gene expression profiles of CD133+ and CD34+ cells indicate differences in the transcriptional regulation of CD133+ and CD34+ cells. CD133+ cells express a lower number of hematopoietic lineage differentiation marker genes than CD34+ cells. The expression profiles suggest a more primitive nature of CD133+ cells. Moreover, CD133+ cells have characteristic glycome that differ from the glycome of CD133- cells. High mannose-type and biantennary complex-type N-glycans are enriched in CD133+ cells. N-glycosylation-related gene expression pattern of CD133+ cells identify the key genes regulating the CD133+ cell-specific glycosylation including the overexpression of MGAT2 and underexpression of MGAT4. The putative role of MAN1C1 in the increase of unprocessed high mannose-type N-glycans in CD133+ cells is also discussed. These studies provide new information on the characteristics of HSCs. Improved understanding of HSC biology can be used to design therapeutic cells with improved cell proliferation and homing properties. As a result, HSC engineering could further their clinical use. Veren kantasolut ja niistä muodostuvat esisolut vastaavat miljoonien uusien veri- ja immuunisolujen tuotosta päivittäin. Luuytimestä ja istukkaverestä saatavia kantasoluja käytetään pahalaatuisten veritautien hoidossa. Istukkaverisiirre on hyvä vaihtoehto potilaalle, jolle ei ole kudostyypiltään sopivaa luuydinluovuttajaa tarjolla. Siirteen kannalta tärkeiden solujen biologian tunteminen auttaa kehittämään menetelmiä, joilla voidaan parantaa siirrettyjen solujen hakeutumista potilaan luuytimeen ja nopeuttaa veren uudelleen muodostusta. Tällä tavoin voidaan parantaa nykyisiä hoitotuloksia ja löytää veren kantasoluille uusia terapeuttisia käyttösovelluksia. Tässä väitöskirjatyössä tutkittiin veren kantasoluja runsaasti sisältäviä CD133+ ja CD34+ solupopulaatioita. Geeniekspressioprofiloinnin avulla määritettiin, mitkä geneettiset säätelytekijät ovat ominaisia CD133+ ja CD34+ soluille verrattuna muihin verisoluihin, sekä miten CD133+ ja CD34+ solujen geneettinen säätely eroaa toisistaan. Lisäksi työssä selvitettiin solun pintaproteiineihin liittyneitä sokerirakenteita CD133+ solujen ja kypsien verisolujen välillä. Sokerirakenteilla on merkittävä rooli niin solujen keskinäisessä kuin solun ja sen ympäristön välisessä vuorovaikutuksessa. Tutkimuksessa saatiin merkittävää uutta tietoa istukkaveren CD133+ ja CD34+ soluista. Solujen geeniekspressioprofiilit olivat erilaisia ja soluille ominainen geeniekspressio liittyi erilaisten biologisten prosessien ylläpitoon. Tällä saattaa olla merkitystä käytettäessä näitä soluja potilaiden hoidossa. Eroa nähtiin erityisesti solujen tarttumisominaisuuksia, erilaistumista ja solujen jakautumista säätelevien geenien ekspressiossa. Lisäksi CD133+ solujen geeniekspressioprofiili antoi viitteitä siitä, että CD133+ solut ovat CD34+ soluja primitiivisempiä, ja niillä saattaa siten olla parempi kyky muodostaa erilaisia verisoluja. Tässä tutkimuksessa kuvattiin CD133+ soluille tyypillinen sokerirakenneprofiili. CD133+ soluissa nähtiin enemmän muokkaamattomia ja kaksihaaraisia sokerirakenteita, kun taas monihaaraiset sokerirakenteet olivat yleisempiä CD133- soluissa. Sokerirakenne- ja geeniekspressioprofiilin vertailu mahdollisti CD133+ soluille ominaisia sokerirakenteita säätelevien geenien tunnistamisen. CD133+ soluille ominaiset sokerirakenteet saattavat tarjota uusia mahdollisuuksia varhaisten veren solujen tunnistamiseen ja eristämiseen. Lisäksi sokerirakenteiden muokkauksella voidaan pyrkiä parantamaan veren kantasolujen kulkeutumista ja asettumista potilaan luuytimeen tai hakeutumista muuhun kohdekudokseen.

- Abstract
Human cord blood (CB)-derived CD133+ cells carry characteristics of primitive hematopoietic cells and proffer an alternative for CD34+ cells in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation. To characterize the CD133+ cell population on a genetic level, a global expression analysis of CD133+ cells was performed using oligonucleotide microarrays. CD133+ cells were purified from four fresh CB units by immunomagnetic selection. All four CD133+ samples showed significant similarity in their gene expression pattern, whereas they differed clearly from the CD133- control samples. In all, 690 transcripts were differentially expressed between CD133+ and CD133- cells. Of these, 393 were increased and 297 were decreased in CD133+ cells. The highest overexpression was noted in genes associated with metabolism, cellular physiological processes, cell communication, and development. A set of 257 transcripts expressed solely in the CD133+ cell population was identified. Colony-forming unit (CFU) assay was used to detect the clonal progeny of precursors present in the studied cell populations. The results demonstrate that CD133+ cells express primitive markers and possess clonogenic progenitor capacity. This study provides a gene expression profile for human CD133+ cells. It presents a set of genes that may be used to unravel the properties of the CD133+ cell population, assumed to be highly enriched in HSCs.

- Abstract
Deficiencies of the early components of the classical complement pathway impair the actions of innate and humoral immunity and may lead to increased susceptibility to infections. We have studied the genetic basis of total C4B deficiency in a Finnish patient with recurrent meningitis, chronic fistulas and abscesses. The maternal chromosome carried a four-gene deletion including the C4B gene, and a conversion from C4B to C4A gene was found on the paternal chromosome resulting in complete deficiency of C4B. In the converted C4A gene, mutation screening did not reveal any amino acid changes or prominent mutations, yet a large number of nucleotide variations were found. Further, the patient was heterozygous for structural deficiency of mannan binding lectin (MBL) associating with medium levels of serum MBL. Our data provides new information on the genetic instability of the C4 gene region, and on the association of homozygous C4B deficiency and variant MBL genotype with increased susceptibility to recurrent and chronic infections. Importantly, plasma therapy induced a prompt clinical cure with long-term effects.
