The characterization of hepatic progenitor cells is of great scientific and clinical interest. Here we report that intravenous injection of adult bone marrow cells in the FAH(-/-) mouse, an animal model of tyrosinemia type I, rescued the mouse and restored the biochemical function of its liver. Moreover, within bone marrow, only rigorously purified hematopoietic stem cells gave rise to donor-derived hematopoietic and hepatic regeneration. This result seems to contradict the conventional assumptions of the germ layer origins of tissues such as the liver, and raises the question of whether the cells of the hematopoietic stem cell phenotype are pluripotent hematopoietic cells that retain the ability to transdifferentiate, or whether they are more primitive multipotent cells.

Imatinib is a new promising therapeutic option for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with efficacy even in the blast phase of the disease. However, most patients treated with imatinib in the blast phase develop progressive disease rapidly. Thus, treatment with imatinib has to be followed by other treatment strategies. The normally mild to moderate side effects of imatinib including skin rashes might therefore be aggravated. Here, we describe a patient with severe epidermal necrolysis after treatment with imatinib and consecutive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Prolonged inhibition of platelet-derived growth factor by imatinib may be an explanation for this observed skin toxicity.

Activation of the SRC family of protein tyrosine kinases is an important component of intracellular signaling in hematopoiesis, but their critical substrates are less well understood. In this report, we describe the cloning and functional characterization of murine SKAP55R (mSKAP55R), an SRC family kinase substrate.Expression of mSKAP55R was examined by Northern blot. Phosphorylation of mSKAP55R was examined by transient transfection of COS cells. For overexpression studies, mSKAP55R was cloned into a bicistronic murine stem cell virus-based retrovirus. Transduced cells (FDC-P1 cell line and murine bone marrow) were FACS isolated by expression of the selectable marker green fluorescent protein.mSKAP55R showed 90% amino acid identity to the recently published human SKAP55R. mSKAP55R contained a central pleckstrin homology domain, a C-terminal SH3 domain, and a putative SRC kinase consensus substrate DEIY(260). mSKAP55R was expressed in all hematopoietic lineages, with relative mRNA levels greatest in cells of the myeloid and erythroid lineages. Induced myeloid differentiation of M1 and HL-60 cell lines was associated with an eight-fold increase in mSKAP55R mRNA. Transient expression of mSKAP55R in COS cells demonstrated that tyrosine 260 was the predominant site of phosphorylation by FYN kinase. Furthermore, this phosphotyrosine was essential for coimmunoprecipitation of FYN with mSKAP55R. Enforced expression of mSKAP55R inhibited in vitro growth of the myeloid FDC-P1 cell line and primary hematopoietic progenitors. In contrast, a tyrosine 260 mutant mSKAP55R had no effect on in vitro growth. These studies implicate mSKAP55R in the processes of myeloid differentiation and growth arrest.

Transient complete remission of metastasized Merkel cell carcinoma by high-dose polychemotherapy and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare cutaneous tumour with neuroendocrine differentiation. Metastasis occurs preferentially to regional lymph nodes but distant and multiple visceral metastases may occur. Chemotherapy has been performed with a variety of protocols based largely on agents active in small-cell lung cancer. Owing to the rarity of MCC, there is no standard protocol for the treatment of metastatic disease. We report a 59-year-old patient with systemic metastatic MCC. After diagnosis of distant metastases, first-line polychemotherapy (cisplatin 80 mg m(-2), doxorubicin 50 mg m(-2), etoposide 300 mg m(-2) and bleomycin 30 mg) was administered four times at 3-weekly intervals and resulted in partial remission of metastases. Subsequently, high-dose chemotherapy according to the PEI regimen (ifosfamide 12 g m(-2), carboplatin 900 mg m(-2) and etoposide 1500 mg m(-2)) was applied, followed by autologous blood stem cell transplantation (ABSCT). This protocol resulted in a complete remission that lasted for 6 months. This is the first report on a complete remission of metastatic MCC after high-dose polychemotherapy and ABSCT. High-dose chemotherapy might be a therapeutic option in chemosensitive metastatic MCC, and further evaluation is warranted.

Cytokeratins 8 and 19 in the mouse placental development.

To investigate the expression and biological roles of cytokeratin 19 (K19) in development and in adult tissues, we inactivated the mouse K19 gene (Krt1-19) by inserting a bacterial beta-galactosidase gene (lacZ) by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells, and established germ line mutant mice. Both heterozygous and homozygous mutant mice were viable, fertile, and appeared normal. By 7.5-8.0 days post coitum (dpc), heterozygous mutant embryos expressed lacZ in the notochordal plate and hindgut diverticulum, reflecting the fact that the notochord and the gut endoderm are derived from the axial mesoderm-originated cells. In the adult mutant, lacZ was expressed mainly in epithelial tissues. To investigate the possible functional cooperation and synergy between K19 and K8, we then constructed compound homozygous mutants, whose embryos died approximately 10 dpc. The lethality resulted from defects in the placenta where both K19 and K8 are normally expressed. As early as 9. 5 dpc, the compound mutant placenta had an excessive number of giant trophoblasts, but lacked proper labyrinthine trophoblast or spongiotrophoblast development, which apparently caused flooding of the maternal blood into the embryonic placenta. These results indicate that K19 and K8 cooperate in ensuring the normal development of placental tissues.

Hair growth is a sophisticated biological process, which is still not thoroughly understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been made available, and used. However, due to the diversity of the problems underlying hair loss, there is no single solution 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 cope with hair loss problems. Anecdotally, it shows prositive results and improvement especially 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.
DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands.
DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
