Paradoxical activational effects of a corticotropin-releasing factor-binding protein "ligand inhibitor" in rat brain.

The corticotropin-releasing factor-binding protein is distinct from known corticotropin-releasing factor receptors, but can bind the peptide and neutralize its biological actions. Recent interest has centered about the therapeutic potential of "ligand inhibitors" of binding protein action, synthetic corticotropin-releasing factor fragments which are inactive at corticotropin-releasing factor receptors, but can displace the peptide from the binding protein, thereby increasing levels of free corticotropin-releasing factor. To identify sites of action of such ligands, the distribution of Fos expression seen following intracerebroventricular administration of rat/human corticotropin-releasing factor(6-33) (5-50 microg) was charted in relation to corticotropin-releasing factor-binding protein and receptor expression. It was expected that Fos induction would mimic aspects of the distribution of the two known corticotropin-releasing factor receptors, but the far greater correspondence was seen with that of the binding protein itself. This included neurons in the isocortex, the olfactory system, amygdala and a number of discrete brainstem cell groups; many Fos-immunoreactive neurons in each were found to co-express corticotropin-releasing factor-binding protein messenger RNA. Subsets of activated neurons co-expressed Type 1 corticotropin-releasing factor receptor messenger RNA, though these were largely limited to cell groups that also express the corticotropin-releasing factor-binding protein, and where binding protein immunoreactivity and Type 1 receptor transcripts were found to co-exist. Responsive neurons displaying Type 2 corticotropin-releasing factor receptor message were seen reliably only in the lateral septal nucleus.These findings support only a limited capacity of the ligand inhibitor to activate neurons bearing corticotropin-releasing factor receptors. The more pervasive activation seen among neurons that express the corticotropin-releasing factor-binding protein may be indicative of an unexpected role for this protein in signaling by corticotropin-releasing factor-related peptides.

Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent cells that can be isolated from adult bone marrow and can be induced in vitro and in vivo to differentiate into a variety of mesenchymal tissues, including bone, cartilage, tendon, fat, bone marrow stroma, and muscle. Despite their potential clinical utility for cellular and gene therapy, the fate of mesenchymal stem cells after systemic administration is mostly unknown. To address this, we transplanted a well-characterized human mesenchymal stem cell population into fetal sheep early in gestation, before and after the expected development of immunologic competence. In this xenogeneic system, human mesenchymal stem cells engrafted and persisted in multiple tissues for as long as 13 months after transplantation. Transplanted human cells underwent site-specific differentiation into chondrocytes, adipocytes, myocytes and cardiomyocytes, bone marrow stromal cells and thymic stroma. Unexpectedly, there was long-term engraftment even when cells were transplanted after the expected development of immunocompetence. Thus, mesenchymal stem cells maintain their multipotential capacity after transplantation, and seem to have unique immunologic characteristics that allow persistence in a xenogeneic environment. Our data support the possibility of the transplantability of mesenchymal stem cells and their potential utility in tissue engineering, and cellular and gene therapy applications.

This project was designed to investigate the application of bone marrow transplantation to a progressive and ultimately fatal systemic autoimmune disease. Male (NZW x BXSB)F1 (W/BF1) mice develop acute systemic autoimmune disease characterized by degenerative coronary vascular disease (CVD) with myocardial infarctions, hypertension, thrombocytopenia, glomerulonephritis, and persistently elevated levels of circulating immune complexes. After preliminary studies established the onset of disease between 10 and 12 weeks of age, 6- to 8-week-old male W/BF1 mice were targeted for transplantation with either T-cell-depleted bone marrow or purified hematopoietic stem cells from haploidentical B6C3/F1 mice. Posttransplantation flow cytometric analysis of splenocytes demonstrated donor phenotypes in W/BF1 recipient mice that had received T-cell-depleted marrow or hematopoietic stem cell preparations (lineage negative, CD71 negative) from B6C3/F1 donors. Survival of W/BF1 mice transplanted with bone marrow from normal B6C3/F1 donors was very high, and assessment at 100 days after transplantation revealed reduction in onset and severity of disease. Autoantibodies to cardiolipin and double-stranded DNA were markedly reduced to levels present in normal mice. Immunohistochemistry of heart and kidney tissue revealed significant amelioration of degenerative CVD and glomerulonephritis in the majority of W/BF1 recipients of marrow transplants from B6C3/F1 donors. All engrafted W/BF1 mice displayed normal immunologic competence 100 days posttransplantation.

BACKGROUND: Several studies have shown linkage of bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis and total serum IgE concentration to the chromosomal region 12q13-24 in ethnical diverse populations. This region harbours a number of candidate genes for asthma and atopy, including stem cell factor (SCF), leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H), thyroid receptor 2 (TR2), and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6). However, the same region was shown as well to be linked to other diseases with inflammatory character. So far no variants in any of these genes have been published which would allow association studies and confirm the pathogenicity of any of these genes. OBJECTIVE: We wanted to test for linkage of the chromosomal region 12q13-24 with the atopic phenotype without regard to clinical manifestations. Furthermore we screened for common nucleotide polymorphisms in candidate genes to enable association studies. METHODS: We employed sib-pair linkage analysis and transmission disequilibrium testing with regard to four highly polymorphic microsatellite markers in 12q13-24 in atopic nuclear families. In addition, we looked for polymorphisms in the genes coding for SCF, LTA4H, TR2 and STAT6 performing SSCP-analysis and direct genomic sequencing. RESULTS: We found no evidence for linkage of the genomic region 12q13-24 to elevated total serum IgE levels, specific sensitization to common inhalant allergens or atopy. Furthermore we identified three nucleotide polymorphisms including one common variant in the gene coding for SCF. No association of this polymorphism and any of the atopic phenotypes was seen. CONCLUSION: We conclude from our data that genes in the chromosomal region 12q13-24 and in particular SCF are unlikely to exert a major effect on the induction of the atopic phenotype in our Caucasian population. However, we did not focus on the asthmatic and thereby inflammatory aspect of atopy which might explain these results in contradiction to previous studies.

Cultured human mast cells derived from umbilical cord blood cells in the presence of stem cell factor and interleukin-6 cannot be a model of human skin mast cells: fluorescence microscopic analysis of intracellular calcium ion mobilization.

To know whether cultured human mast cells raised from umbilical cord blood cells in the presence of stem cell factor (SCF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) can be a model of human skin mast cells, the cells were stimulated, and intracellular calcium ion ([Ca(2+)](i)) mobilization was analyzed by fluorescence microscopic techniques in parallel with a measurement of histamine released from the cells. When IgE-sensitized mast cells were activated by anti-IgE, [Ca(2+)](i) elevation began at the periphery and subsequently proceeded toward the center of the cells. The increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in calcium ionophore A23187-stimulated mast cells began at the center and spread to the periphery of the cells. Significant histamine release was observed by each stimulation. However, either compound 48/80 or substance P failed to increase [Ca(2+)](i) with no appreciable histamine release. This study shows that there is heterogeneity of [Ca(2+)](i) mobilization in the activated human mast cells, and that cultured human mast cells derived from umbilical cord blood cells in the presence of SCF and IL-6 can not be a model of human skin mast cells.

Hair loss is genetically influenced, but it is always difficult to predict. Overall, more than 50% of US men suffer hair loss by their age of 45. Men are more likely to lose hair than women. Hair Million offers an alternative solution to hair loss problems. Anecdotal evidence and personal experiences indicate the efficacy of this herbal blend in improveming age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a number of people who take it. The mechanism of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth is totally unknown. It is only known 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. Propecia is a clinically tested drug for the purpose of reversing hair loss.
