Cyclophosphamide (CPA) is widely used for peripheral blood stem cell mobilization, and a dose adjustment of CPA in the presence of renal failure has not been suggested. However, we describe a myeloma patient with renal failure (serum creatinine 4.2 mg/dl, creatinine clearance 11.2 ml/min) receiving CPA 2 g/m2 for 2 days, who developed unexpectedly severe toxicity, including myopericarditis and prolonged myelosuppression. The serial serum concentrations of CPA metabolites were persistently much higher than those in a myeloma patient with normal renal function. We consider, therefore, that the dose of CPA should be reduced in the presence of severe renal failure when used as high-dose therapy or to mobilize peripheral blood stem cells.

We examined the distribution of hippocampus-derived neural stem cells on the spinal cord surface for up to 3 weeks following injection through the fourth ventricle. The injected cells were disseminated as tiny spots on the pia mater of the spinal cord and proliferated into large cell-clusters. On both the dorsal and ventral side, cell clusters increased in number rapidly up to 5 days after injection and thereafter decreased gradually due to the coalition of neighbouring clusters. Concomitantly, individual cell clusters continuously increased in size, occupying almost 50% of the spinal cord surface. Cell attachment was usually found around blood vessels, along which cells invaded into the spinal cord. In the injured site, cells migrated into the lesion and were integrated into the spinal cord tissue, some of which had differentiated into astrocytes 1-2 weeks after injection. BrdU-uptake experiments demonstrated that the transplanted cells proliferated within the host cerebrospinal fluid. These results indicate that application of neural stem cells through the ventricle is an effective method to disseminate cells all over the spinal cord and that they can migrate and be integrated into the injured spinal cord.

The identification of rare stromal cells that support high levels of stem cells has opened avenues to identify molecules that contribute to the maintenance of these cells. We show that the maintenance of long-term culture initiating cells (LTC-IC) in stromal cell-supported cultures can be modulated via mAbs specific for CD44. mAb IM7.8.1 suppressed while mAb RAMBM44 enhanced LTC-IC levels in culture. Genetic polymorphisms in CD44 were used to show that the stromal cell compartment is targeted by mAb RAMBM44 and the hematopoietic compartment by mAb IM7.8. Neither of the CD44-specific mAbs inhibited adhesion of LTC-IC to the stroma, suggesting alternative mechanisms of action. In support of this interpretation, we show that mAb RAMBM44 directly induces signal transduction in the stromal cell line S17 but not in hematopoietic cells. Conversely, mAb IM7.8 elicited the appearance of phosphorylated bands in hematopoietic cells, but not in stromal cells. Collectively, the data indicate that the opposing effects of CD44-mediated regulation can be explained by different cellular programs that are elicited in distinct cell compartments. The binding of the enhancing mAb RAMBM44 to CD44 is specifically inhibited by collagen IV, while binding of the suppressive mAb IM7.8.1 is inhibited by a substance contained in the supernatant of the stromal cell line AC3.U. Thus, the CD44 epitopes defined by the mAbs bind distinct ligands and the ligands provide a potential physiological counterpart for the regulatory actions of the mAbs. 2000 Academic Press.

Adult hematopoietic differentiation is a developmental process that employs many of the same molecular mechanisms as embryogenesis. To explore the possibility that hedgehog signaling is involved in the control of hematopoietic differentiation, we screened a panel of human leukemia cell lines for the expression of Patched1 and Smoothened, the receptor and coreceptor for hedgehog ligands. Expression was found in multiple cell lines, and Patched1 expression was detected in normal marrow. Induction of myeloid differentiation in cell lines downregulated expression of both genes. When normal marrow mononuclear cells were grown in semisolid medium in the presence of 10 microM cyclopamine, development of colonies of granulocytic/monocytic lineage was unaffected in terms of both number and morphology. The number of erythroid colonies, however, was significantly reduced (P < 0.01). Furthermore, hemoglobinization was substantially delayed relative to controls in those erythroid colonies that did form. Incubation of hematopoietic progenitors with Shh-N and GM-CSF resulted in increased granulocyte/monocyte colonies (P < 0.01); the increase was blocked by cyclopamine. Incubation of hematopoietic progenitors with Shh-N and stem cell factor resulted in larger erythroid colonies. These results suggest that elements of the hedgehog signaling pathway are involved in the control of hematopoietic differentiation. 2000 Academic Press.

A novel regulator of G-protein signaling (RGS) has been isolated from a highly purified population of mouse long-term hematopoietic stem cells, and designated RGS18. It has 234 amino acids consisting of a central RGS box and short divergent NH(2) and COOH termini. The calculated molecular weight of RGS18 is 27,610 and the isoelectric point is 8.63. Mouse RGS18 is expressed from a single gene and shows tissue specific distribution. It is most highly expressed in bone marrow followed by fetal liver, spleen, and then lung. In bone marrow, RGS18 level is highest in long-term and short-term hematopoietic stem cells, and is decreased as they differentiate into more committed multiple progenitors. The human RGS18 ortholog has a tissue-specific expression pattern similar to that of mouse RGS18. Purified RGS18 interacts with the alpha subunit of both G(i) and G(q) subfamilies. The results of in vitro GTPase single-turnover assays using Galpha(i) indicated that RGS18 accelerates the intrinsic GTPase activity of Galpha(i). Transient overexpression of RGS18 attenuated inositol phosphates production via angiotensin receptor and transcriptional activation through cAMP-responsive element via M1 muscarinic receptor. This suggests RGS18 can act on G(q)-mediated signaling pathways in vivo.

Natural Herbal Supplement: Hair Million
Hair Loss, or alopecia is a concern
for increasing number of folks in aging society. Loss of hair is a visible problem, and affects the appearance and changes identity of a person.
The phenomenon of hair thinning and hair loss is most commonly associated with natural aging, although there are many other causes of hair loss, which include inherited or genetic conditions, illnesses, malnutrition, stress, hormonal problems, chemotherapy, and use of some drugs.
Hair growth is a sophisticated biological process, which has not yet been completely understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been made available, and used. However, due to the heterogeneity in the underlying cause, there is no perfect cure for all hair loss cases. Most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are not free from varying degrees of undesirable side effects on health.
Hair Million is an alternative solution to hair loss problems. Anecdotally, it shows prositive results and improvement for age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a fraction of people who take it. We do not know the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth. We only know by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth. However, there are two merits in this hair restoration herbal formula:
Firstly, Hair Million is rather inexpensive, and secondly, it is made of well known herbs that are safe when consumed in regular quantities.
