Rejuvenation of mesenchymal stem cell osteogenic potency via the combined effects of substrate stiffness and Cuscuta japonica Choisy.
2023.05~2024.06, 代表者:Kuboki Thasaneeya, Kyushu University, JSPS (Japan)
This study aims to investigate the combined effects of substrate stiffness and Cuscuta japonica extract on osteogenic differentiation potency of the aged MSCs preconditioning on surface elasticity tunable hydrogels. The effect C. japonica extract on MSC senescence progression will be investigated by SA beta-GAL staining and real time PCR of cell cycle inhibitors and senescence markers. To evaluate the impact on osteogenic differentiation, the late passage MSCs will be passaging on tissue culture dish (TC) and gels Then, the osteogenic differentiation will be performed by culturing the cells that collected from TC and gels in the culture medium supply with various concentration of the seed extracts. The osteogenic differentiation potency will be investigated by staining of calcium deposition with Alizarin Red S, measurement of alkaline phosphatase activity and real time PCR of osteogenic differentiation markers. The substrate stiffness in combination with soluble factor C. japonica extract is expected to rescue therapeutic properties and promote the osteogenesis of the aged MSCs..

Understanding the effects of substrate stiffness on rejuvenation of aging MSC s via single cell analysis.
2019.07~2024.06, 代表者:Thasaneeya Kuboki, Kyushu University, Japan
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from bone marrow are widely used in clinical applications due to their therapeutic properties. However, in vitro expansion of MSCs on tissue culture dish (TC) induce aging, which reduce their quantity and qualities with undefined mechanism. This research aims to delineate the role substrate stiffness as potential modulator to delay the MSC aging process. The rejuvenation of the MSCs serially passaging on the engineered stiffness tunable gelatinous hydrogels will be evaluated. The innovative approach, single cell expression profiling, will be performed to gain a better understanding of mechano-regulation of MSC aging in single cell level for future development of biomaterials for MSC maintenance..

Elucidation of mechanical stimuli induced MSCs fate control via the expression of APC.
2017.06~2020.06, 代表者:Thasaneeya Kuboki, Kyushu University, Japan
Wnt signaling is one of the key players that control lineage specification in vertebrate embryo & pluripotency in embryonic stem cells (ES). In MSCs, various level of Wnt activity resulted in both inhibitory and stimulatory effects on MSC self-renewal and differentiation. A major effector of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway is the transcription factor β-catenin. Upon activation, β-catenin translocate into the nucleus and promote the expression of various genes. In absence of Wnt signal the destruction complex, formed by Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC), the scaffold Axin, and GSK3 β, which responsible for phosphorylation, ubiquitination and degradation of β-catenin via proteasome. APC is multifunctional protein that play pivotal role both in regulating canonical Wnt signaling pathway and cytoskeleton (CSK). APC proteins are essential negative regulators of Wnt signaling, however, the molecular connections between Wnt signaling, CSK dynamics and stem cell fate remain unclear. In our study, the expression of APC, was the highest and specifically up-regulated only on the patterned gels. Increased expression of APC in the frustration differentiation MSCs indicated the strong impact of mechanical stimuli that tightly regulate Wnt signaling. To gain insight into the precise role of APC in mechanotransduction of the MSCs, the expression level of APC in the MSCs that undergo differentiation and on the homogeneous or patterned gels will be analyzed in correlation with the stem cell differentiation/ stemness markers and effectors of Wnt signaling. .

Interplay between mechanotransduction and redox regulation of stem cells
2015.06~2018.06, 代表者:Thasaneeya Kuboki, Kyushu University, Japan
The cells are constantly exposed to several intracellular stresses such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by oxidative metabolism and oxidative stress. ROS such as superoxide, hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide that mainly generated from NADPH oxidase from mitochondria could function as a second messenger in redox signaling. Some cells that localize in particular area also experience low oxygen condition (hypoxia) and develop an antioxidant defense system to maintain the oxidative/reductive (redox) homeostasis. For stem cells, the balance between ROS and antioxidants could regulate their fate, function and survival. Our previous proteomic analysis of MSCs on different elasticity gels revealed the differential expression of intracellular signaling molecules including the antioxidant enzymes. However, direct correlation between mechanotransduction and redox signaling has never been reported. Here, I investigate the interrelationships between these two distinct pathways. I observed the changes in expression of neurogenic markers in stem cells on the soft gels that mimic the brain (1 kPa) and osteogenic markers on the stiffer gels that mimic bone cells (80 kPa), together with differential expression of antioxidant genes. The mitochondria superoxide production of the cells was increased on the soft gels but suppressed on the stiff gels. These data indicated that the mechanical stimuli could modulate the cellular redox balance, ROS production and differentiation markers of the stem cells, reflecting the crosstalk between mechanotransduction and redox signaling..

Stem cell fate regulation on the mechanical engineered gelatinous gels.
2015.06~2020.06, 代表者:Thasaneeya Kuboki, Kyushu University, Japan
Evidences suggested that the stem cells have the imprint of the mechanical microenvironment that could interfere the cell plasticity and fate, indicating that the traditional rigid tissue culture dishes could bias the MSCs behaviors. In this study, the microelasticity-patterned gels (soft domain 3 kPa/stiff domain 30 kPa) were designed to induced the cells to move between the soft and stiffer regions with approximately equal residence time to reduce the mechanical memory and maintain the stemness. This MSCs defined as “frustration differentiation stem cells”. We cultured the MSCs on the control culture dishes, homogeneous soft (3 kPa), stiff (30 kPa) and the patterned gels for microarray analysis. The data suggested that the micropatterned gels could induced cellular movement, proliferation, inhibition of cell death and activation of signaling pathways related to stem cell pluripotency, indicating that the patterned gels provided the appropriate mechanical microenvironments for maintenance and expansion of stem cell. To gain deeper insight into the underlying mechanism, I’m investigating the dynamic of early event of mechanotransduction that regulate the cells behaviors. The nuclear translocation of key signaling components such as transcription factors (TFs) is an early and essential step in the control of gene expression by numerous extracellular signals. Many studies highlighted the important of cytoplasmic to nuclear shuttling of TFs as essential regulator of gene expression. YAP/TAZ are key signaling intermediates that link mechanical cues to MSC differentiation. I’m now studying the mechanism of how forces influence nuclear events by real time observation of YAP/TAZ nucleocytoplasmic shuttling in stem cells on mechanical substrate. .

Polarity generation in durotactic crawling cells just crossing an elasticity boundary
2015.08~2018.06, 代表者:Thasaneeya Kuboki, Kyushu University, Japan
To elucidate the mechanism of the generation of polarity to direct cell movement, the correlation between the macro- and microscopic aspects of cell polarization in durotaxis were investigated via a quantitative analysis of cell polarity and dynamics of the FA in durotactic motile cells on the patterned gels with a sharp transition between the soft (35 kPa) and stiff regions (300 kPa). By using the “persistence random deformation (PRD)” model that we recently established to explain the relationship of the cell movement and shape fluctuations, the analysis revealed that polarity is promptly generated as the cell approaches to the elasticity boundary. A Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching analysis showed the stiffness- and spatiotemporal-dependent dynamics of paxillin upon crossing the boundary. The mobile fractions of paxillin increased in the extended anterior part on the stiff region, corresponding with the enhancement of asymmetric shape fluctuation, magnitude of polarity and contraction-retraction movement during the first few hours. The results indicated that a gradual transition of dynamics in FAs found in the adhered interface of a single cell is potentially a prerequisite for the emergence of cell polarity and symmetry-breaking..

Durotaxis induced collective migration of neural crest cells
2015.06~2018.06, 代表者:Sei Kuriyama, Akita University, Japan
Collective cell migration is a fundamental process that enables the coordinated movement of groups of cells that remain connected via cell–cell junctions. Collective cell movements support the formation and morphological reshaping of larger tissue structures during the morphogenesis of ducts, glands, and vessels, as well as epithelial homeostasis and regeneration. In this study, durotaxis induced collective migration of the neural crest cells is being studied. We observed an interesting phenomenon that the microelasticity patterned gels could induce a pure durotactic collective migration of the NCs. We are now investigating the pathways responsible for this migration behaviors..

Fluorescence live cell imaging on nanosheets
2017.06~2018.06, 代表者:Kaoru Tamada, Kyushu University, Japan
In this collaborative research, high resolution imaging of the cells on the silver and gold nanosheets are being investigated. The nanosheets were fabricated using localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) technique. The LSPR of the silver/gold-nanoparticle sheet provides high-contrast interfacial images due to the confined light within a region a few tens of nanometers from the particles and the enhancement of fluorescence. The genetic engineered cell lines that stably expressed focal adhesion protein paxillin were cultured on the nanosheet and live cell imaging showed high spatiotemporal resolution image. The construction of other fluorescence fusions/biosensor is now being performed for future application on dynamic observation of the proteins on the nanosheets. .

Time-dependent migratory behaviors in the long-term studies of fibroblast durotaxis on a hydrogel substrate fabricated with a soft band
2011.09~2014.01, 代表者:Kuboki Thasaneeya, Kyushu University, Kyushu University (Japan)
Long-term durotaxis of 3T3 fibroblasts was investigated on soft band gelatinous substrates. Most of the cell strongly repelled from the soft band on the first day of observation. Time-dependent migratory behaviors of the cells were observed during a time period of three days.Immunofluorescence analysis indicated preferential collagen deposition onto the soft band, which is derived from secretion by fibroblast cells, resulting in the increasing contribution of haptotaxis toward the soft band over time. .
