Stem cells hold the key to a number of cellular processes from development, tissue regeneration, and aging. They also hold the promise of cures for many diseases and injuries as well as offer an opportunity to bridge the ‘animal to human gap’ in ADMET and drug efficacy studies, a necessary step in provid-ing therapeutic products for human use. The potential of stem cells is certain, however bringing this potential to fruitition is contingent upon several key factors, not the least of them being the highly motivated and inteligent global research

community. These scientists have and continue to contribute key incremental discoveries on nearly a daily basis and these discoveries move the entire science closer and closer to becom-ing the numerous miracle therapies that we have always been predicted. The stem cell biology platform, as presented in this brochure, highlights the most common general use media, supplements, reagents, and tools for stem cell discovery culture and analysis. Additional products can be found throughout the Sigma-Aldrich® catalog and website.

General Stem

Cell Biology

In lineage tree 1, the development of stem cells occurs after the formation of germ layers. These stem cells are thus restricted by germ layer commitment to their respective lineage (e.g., mesoderm is formed, giving rise to hematopoietic progenitors that become hematopoietic stem cells). Lineage tree 2 illustrates

the area that stem cells might develop similarly to PGCs, in that they avoid the lineage commitments during gastrulation and subsequently migrate to specific tissue and organ niches.

Product ListIn some instances scientific milestones appear as serendipitous, nearly accidental discoveries. But for most of us discovery is a process and series of small steps that are the result of a long and wide pathway of techniques, methods, and in-depth analysis. In order to serve you better we have listed our the relevant products in the following pages by ‘work flow’ which is essentially addressing all of the steps in your discovery process. For every area of study, including regenerative medicine, there is a step-wise and systematic ap-proach in gathering data. The proceeding products have been listed to appear in order of process: Isolation – products for enzymatic or gradient cell separation as well as storage/cryopreservation Characterization – product for cell identification Expansion – product to increase cell populations Differentiation – products to move cells forward along a given lineage and confirm lineage markers Functional profiling – products to assist in converting or diverting the intercellular processes, mechanisms, and pathways In vitro/in vivo analysis – products for tagging/marking cells in vitro and in vivo

All of these glycosphingolipid antigens are synthesized by extension from a common precursor, lactosylceramide. The likely parts of these structures comprising the epitopes recognized by the different antibodies are highlighted. The enzymes responsible for the addi-tion of the third sugar residues (galactosyl-, glucosaminyl-, and sialyltransferase) appear to regulate the rate-limiting step that controls which synthetic pathway predominates. Human EC and ES cells are characterized by expression of the glycolipid antigens SSEA3 and SSEA4, and not the lactoseries antigen SSEAl (Lex). By contrast, mouse EC and ES cells are typically characterized by their expression of SSEAl. Mouse cells also express the globoseries Forssman antigen, which is not synthesized by human cells. Thus, despite the ap-parent distinction between mouse and human EC and ES cells in terms of their terminal sugars that comprise the different epitopes, the undifferentiated cells of both species do seem to share in common the expression of globoseries core structures.

Unraveling and exploring the mysteries of life have been driving forces behind scientific studies since Aristotle first attempted to understand the origins of life. Through the eyes of the microscope, cellular processes have been observed, investigated, understood, and manipulated. This quest has intensified with the discovery of embryonic and adult stem cells. In recent years the genetic modification of stems cells, and the latest discovery, the transformation of somatic cells into stem cells have emerged as primary areas of therapeutic biomedical research. Potentially, stem cells can be transformed into any of the over 200 specialized cells in the body. Their use in cell-based therapies, drug development, and new disease models is still in its infancy. The future potential in basic and applied clinical research is fueled by over 2,000 articles published yearly.

Since the 1950s, adult stem cells have been used in bone marrow transplants and to develop a variety of treatments for diseases. Bone marrow transplants are used to treat malignant diseases such as acute and chronic leukemias, Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, myelodysplasia, multiple myeloma, myelofibrosis, and renal cell carcinoma. Increasingly, success has been seen in the treatment other diseases including aplastic anemia, sickle cell anemia, immune deficiency disorders, and autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma and multiple sclerosis. It was not until 1963 that the first qualitative description of bone marrow cell’s self-renewing activities by Ernest McCulloch and James Till, Ontario Cancer Institute, established the concept of stem cells.1 The first embryonic stem cells derived directly from the blastocyst in culture was reported by Martin Evans and Matthew Kaufman, University of Cambridge, in 1981.2 During the 1980s and 1990s, techniques for targeting and altering genetic material and in growing human cells in the laboratory flourished and laid the groundwork for human stem cell research. It was observed that telomerase activity is expressed in unspecialized stem cells and progenitor cells, but suppressed in somatic cells, and specific cell surface antigens SSEA-3, SSEA-4, Tra-1-60 and Tra-1-81 can be used to identify stem cells.

The first cloning of a mammal by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) in 1997 by Ian Wilmut, Roslin Institute, demonstrated mammalian differentiated cells can be transformed to an undifferentiated state by trans-acting factors present in the oocyte. This was followed by the search for factors that could mediate similar reprogramming of somatic cells.3 The following year, James Thomson, University of Wisconsin – Madison, used trans-acting factors to reprogram isolated cells from the inner cell mass of early embryos, leading to the development of the first human stem cell lines and John Gearhart, Johns Hopkins University, derived human embryonic germ cells from primordial germ cells.4,5 Pluripotent stem cell lines were then prepared from both. Subsequent research has yielded a better understanding of the characteristics, growth, and differentiating properties of adult and embryonic stem cells. Researchers are now beginning to identify the transcription factors necessary to reprogram human somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells.

The reprogramming and induction of human somatic cells to stem cells that exhibit the characteristics of embryonic stem cells have been pursued by many laboratories and was reported in separate papers by Shinya Yamanaka, Kyoto University, and James Thomson, University of Wisconsin – Madison, in 2007. Their findings were based on the similarity to human embryonic stem cells in morphology, proliferation mechanisms, surface antigens, pluripotent cell-specific gene epigenetic status, and telomerase activity. Yamanaka utilized Oct3/4, Sox2, Kif4, and c-Myc transcription factors to reprogram human dermal fibroblast cells. In this method, c-Myc and Klf4 may be involved in modifying chromatin structures so that Oct3/4 and Sox2 bind to their targets. Thomson transduced IMR90 fibroblast and postnatal fibroblast cells with a combination of Oct4, Sox2, Lin28, and NANOG. Lin28 and NANOG have been shown to improve cloning efficiency and recovery. The induced pluripotent human stem cells by both methods maintained their ability to differentiate into all three germ layers in vitro.

One potential limitation of the Yamanaka method using the c-Myc factor would be mutation through viral integration. The altered or forced expression of c-Myc may result in unwanted differentiation of the induced pluripotent stem cells. By using different transcription factors to reprogram and generate cells having the same characteristics as stem cells, the viability of this technology has been validated as a method to induce somatic cells. The induction process and how to harness it is now under further investigation.

Paralleling this achievement, research groups have continued to make progress in developing methods to improve the efficiency of human therapeutic cloning via SCNT. Advances have been made in the preparation of recipient cytoplasts, preparation and transfer of donor DNA, and parthenogenic activation of embryonic development. Recently, Andrew French, Stemagen Corporation, has been able to clone blastocysts from somatic cells.8 The ability to prepare nuclear transfer stem cells by this method is promising to regenerative medicine and cell-based drug discovery.

The preparation of human induced pluripontent stem cells is a milestone in stem cell biotechnology as is its impact on medical applications. This opens up the possibility of using them as well as embryonic stems cells in treating medical conditions such as cancer and birth defects, along with generating tissue for arthritis, burns, diabetes, heart disease, strokes, spinal cord injury, and disabilities like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Currently hematopoietic stem cells are the only stem cells being used in the treatment. Human induced pluripotent stem cells may have a role in drug development for efficacy or toxicity screening; thus, eliminating the need for animal testing and shortening the time to commercialization. They open the window for personalized medical treatment with cell-based therapies based on stem cells that contain the genetic makeup or genetically engineered DNA of the patient.

Cell Biology

The study of embryonic stem cells will continue to further our understanding of how they transform. Both private and government funding of embryonic stem cell research will be critical to reach this goal to provide a platform for the future. Human induced stems cells eliminate the need to use human embryos; thus, minimizing or even eliminating cultural, political, religious, and ethical concerns. The commercial and social impact to be gained by stem cell research coming to fruition is immeasurable. The ability to use stem cells instead of scalpels will affect how we practice medicine and approach personalized healthcare. As our understanding of genomics and proteomics has enriched our appreciation of the complexities of life, our exploration of stem cells will solve even more of its mysteries.

Expansion and irradiation of MEF feeder cells n Plate one vial primary MEF cells in one T75 flask with 20 ml

MEF media. n Expand 1x T75 flask of cells into 1x T175 flasks. n Split 1x T175 flask of cells into 3 T175 flasks. n Split 3x T175 to 6xT175 flasks if more feeders are needed. n Trypsinize and pool all cells, spin down and resuspend cells in

50 ml MEF media. n Irradiate cells (gamma irradiation at 3000 rads). n Spin down and resuspend cells in MEF media. n Add an equal volume of 2x Freeze media. n Mix well and freeze for overnight in 0.5 ml aliquots at

-80 degrees C. n Store in liquid nitrogen.

Each T175 flasks of cells can be aliquoted into 6 vials. Each vial can then be plated onto 1x T25 flask. You may need to adjust these numbers according to plating efficiency.

Routine maintenance of ES cells To maintain a healthy and undifferentiated culture, cells need to grow at high density (above 106 to 107/ 8cm2 or one well of a 6-well plate) and they should be passaged frequently. As a general rule, the media should be changed daily and cells should be passed every other day with a 5 fold split. Cells are oftens ‘shocked’ when coming out of freeze and may show a lag time from initial culture set up to the first passage, perhaps 3 to 4 days.

Tips: Do a visual check of ES cultures. Observe for nesting (cells are in contact with each other). Undifferentiated ES cells should appear as compact colonies with prominent nucleoli.

When cells are colonial or ‘nested’ individual cell borders should not be distinguishable but the colony should have a well de-fined boundary and may appear a little refractile under a phase microscope.

To separate ES cells from MEF’s plate co-cultures on non-coated plates for 30 minutes at 37 degrees C. Feeder cells will attached leaving a relatively pure ES cell population in suspension.

To pass ES cells: n Aspirate media off the plate and rinse once with PBS. n Trypsinize cells with 0.05% trypsin (T3924) at 37 degrees C

for 3 to 5 minutes. n Add 5 ml of ES media and pipet vigorously to get single cell

suspension. n Spin at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. n Plate cells out onto irradiated feeder cells.

Freezing ES cells on 96-well plates Aspirate media and wash once with PBS.

Freeze down the 3 x gelatinized only plate at -20 degrees C for DNA prep.

For the 2 x plates with feeder cells, add 25 ul trypsin STV and incubate at 37 degrees C for 5 minutes.

Disaggregate cells with 100 ul ES media and spin cells at 1K for 5 minutes.

Take off supernatant. Be careful not to suck cells from bottom.

Resuspend cells in 75 ul ES media.

Add 75 ul 2x freezing media.

General Stem

Cell Biology

Freezing hES CellsMany of the established hES cells have low recovery upon thawing, as low as 0.1 to 1%. This may be because of the method of passaging the cells. Mechanical picking or using collagenase dispersion usually results in large cell aggregates, which presumably do not get cryopreserved as efficiently as smaller clumps. Trypsinized cells in our lab have a recovery rate of about 10 to 20% or higher and do not require more compli-cated procedures such as vitrification (Figure 38-9).

Freezing MediumThe best recovery rate was observed in freezing medium con-sisting of 90% FBS-10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). However, Oct-4 expression in the thawed cells was lower than in cells fro-zen in hES cell growth medium with 10% DMSO. Nevertheless, by the next passage, the expression and distribution of Oct-4 and other markers of undifferentiated cells were indistinguish-able between these two freezing conditions. We routinely use the 90% FBS-10% DMSO medium.

Freezing ProtocolSelect a high-quality confluent culture with good morphology for freezing. We also recommend taking a picture of a sample field and staining for molecular markers characteristic of undif-ferentiated hES cells for future reference.

Materials needed:n Chilled freezing medium: 90% FBS, 10% DMSOn Cryovials, labeled with the line, passage number, and daten Cryovial rack (rack with ice reservoir by Corning)(Sigma Cat.

No. CLS430525)n Styrofoam rack from packaging for 15 ml centrifuge tubesn -80 °C freezer

1. Trypsinize the cells; centrifuge in PMEF medium (see earlier explanation).

2. Resuspend the pellet in the cold freezing medium. We rec-ommend freezing one confluent 35 mm plate per vial in 0.5 ml of freezing medium. Work quickly and keep the cells on ice after the addition of the freezing medium.

3. Aliquot cell suspension into prechilled freezing vials and sandwich the vials between two Styrofoam racks: tape to prevent the two racks from separating and transfer to a –80 °C freezer overnight. Transfer the cryovials to liquid nitrogen for long-term storage.

Thawing hES CellsThawing hES cells is a relatively simple procedure. The main rule to follow is to do everything quickly.

Preparation1. Prepare mitomycin C-treated PMEFs a day before thawing.2. Make a thawing medium. We use 70% hES cell growth

medium supplemented with 2x hLIF and 8 ng/ml bFGF with

30% hES cell- or PMEF-conditioned medium.3. Change the medium on the PMEF plate to the thawing

medium; equilibrate in the CO2 incubator for one hour. For 35 mm plates, use 1.5 ml medium; for four-well plates, use 0.5 ml medium per well.

4. Prepare a 50 ml conical tube with 10 to 15 ml of warm hES cell growth medium.

Thawing1. Thaw the vial in a 37 °C water bath, constantly agitating

while ensuring that the neck of the vial is above the water level. Check the content of the vial after about 40 seconds and at 10-second intervals until only a small piece of ice remains.

2. Quickly spray the vial with 70% isopropanol, then using a 1 ml pipetteman*, add warm hES cell medium to the contents of the vial dropwise with gentle agitation. Do it quickly but very gently. Immediately transfer the contents into the prepared 50 ml tube with warm hES cell medium; centrifuge at 160 x g for 5 minutes.

3. Remove the medium completely without touching the pellet.4. Add 0.5 ml of hES cell thawing medium, gently resuspend

the cells using a 1 ml pipetteman (2 to 4 repetitions), and transfer to prepared PMEF plates with equilibrated hES cell-thawing medium. Spread the cells evenly throughout the well by moving the plate several times in two directions at 90 degrees to each other; avoid swirling.

5. Check the cells the next day; if there are many dead cells or the medium has changed color, change two-thirds of the medium; otherwise, do not change it for another day.

6. The colonies usually begin to appear in 3 to 4 days and can be ready for splitting in 5 to 10 days (Figure 38-7).

hES Cell Quality ControlAlthough the morphology of hES cells is often used for evaluat-ing the quality of the culture and its readiness for passaging or freezing, this criterion alone cannot be used for an assessment of ES cell pluripotency. Staining for the expression of Oct-4 or alkaline phosphatase even in colonies of "perfect" morphol-ogy can result in one or both of these markers appearing in the cells only at the periphery of the colony. It is important, there-fore, to regularly assess the cells by analyzing the expression of markers of pluripotent cells. We look at Oct-4, SSEA-3, SSEA-4, TRA 1-60, and TRA 1-81 by immunostaining, or we perform an enzyme assay for alkaline phosphatase. The procedures for such assays and available antibodies are described elsewhere.
