Product Advantages


  • This kit induces robust osteogenesis of culture-expanded mouse mesenchymal stem and progenitor cells and embryonic fibroblasts as evidenced by superior expression of key osteogenic transcripts involved in bone differentiation and maturation, and Alizarin Red staining. See Data and Publications tab.

What's Included

• MesenCult™ MSC Basal Medium (Mouse), 200 mL
• MesenCult™ Osteogenic Stimulatory Supplement (Mouse), 50 mL

Overview

MesenCult™ Osteogenic Stimulatory Kit (Mouse) is specifically formulated for the in vitro differentiation of mouse mesenchymal stem and progenitor cells (MSCs) from compact bone and bone marrow, and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) into osteoblasts. This kit induces strong osteogenesis of mouse MSCs and MEFs, as evidenced by qPCR analysis of key transcripts involved in bone differentiation and maturation, and Alizarin Red staining. This kit is recommended for characterizing MSCs and MEFs and studying bone development.

Radiation mitigation of the intestinal acute radiation injury in mice by 1-[(4-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]-4-phenylpiperazine. S. Duhachek-Muggy et al. Stem cells translational medicine 2020 jan

Abstract

The objective of the study was to identify the mechanism of action for a radiation mitigator of the gastrointestinal (GI) acute radiation syndrome (ARS), identified in an unbiased high-throughput screen. We used mice irradiated with a lethal dose of radiation and treated with daily injections of the radiation mitigator 1-[(4-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]-4-phenylpiperazine to study its effects on key pathways involved in intestinal stem cell (ISC) maintenance. RNASeq, quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, and immunohistochemistry were performed to identify pathways engaged after drug treatment. Target validation was performed with competition assays, reporter cells, and in silico docking. 1-[(4-Nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]-4-phenylpiperazine activates Hedgehog signaling by binding to the transmembrane domain of Smoothened, thereby expanding the ISC pool, increasing the number of regenerating crypts and preventing the GI-ARS. We conclude that Smoothened is a target for radiation mitigation in the small intestine that could be explored for use in radiation accidents as well as to mitigate normal tissue toxicity during and after radiotherapy of the abdomen.
Quercetin Exposure Suppresses the Inflammatory Pathway in Intestinal Organoids from Winnie Mice. M. Dicarlo et al. International journal of molecular sciences 2019 nov

Abstract

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic and relapsing immune disorders that result, or possibly originate, from epithelial barrier defects. Intestinal organoids are a new reliable tool to investigate epithelial response in models of chronic inflammation. We produced organoids from the ulcerative colitis murine model Winnie to explore if the chronic inflammatory features observed in the parental intestine were preserved by the organoids. Furthermore, we investigated if quercetin administration to in vitro cultured organoids could suppress LPS-induced inflammation in wild-type organoids (WT-organoids) and spontaneous inflammation in ulcerative colitis organoids (UC-organoids). Our data demonstrate that small intestinal organoids obtained from Winnie mice retain the chronic intestinal inflammatory features characteristic of the parental tissue. Quercetin administration was able to suppress inflammation both in UC-organoids and in LPS-treated WT-organoids. Altogether, our data demonstrate that UC-organoids are a reliable experimental system for investigating chronic intestinal inflammation and pharmacological responses.
The RNA Helicase DDX6 Controls Cellular Plasticity by Modulating P-Body Homeostasis. B. Di Stefano et al. Cell stem cell 2019 nov

Abstract

Post-transcriptional mechanisms have the potential to influence complex changes in gene expression, yet their role in cell fate transitions remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that suppression of the RNA helicase DDX6 endows human and mouse primed embryonic stem cells (ESCs) with a differentiation-resistant, hyper-pluripotent" state which readily reprograms to a naive state resembling the preimplantation embryo. We further demonstrate that DDX6 plays a key role in adult progenitors where it controls the balance between self-renewal and differentiation in a context-dependent manner. Mechanistically DDX6 mediates the translational suppression of target mRNAs in P-bodies. Upon loss of DDX6 activity P-bodies dissolve and release mRNAs encoding fate-instructive transcription and chromatin factors that re-enter the ribosome pool. Increased translation of these targets impacts cell fate by rewiring the enhancer heterochromatin and DNA methylation landscapes of undifferentiated cell types. Collectively our data establish a link between P-body homeostasis chromatin organization and stem cell potency."
