A set of genetically engineered isogenic cell lines is developed to express either folate receptor alpha or mesothelin, and a control cell line negative for both antigens. Proteasomal inhibitor These cell lines also express fluorescent and bioluminescent reporter transgenes. The cell lines are used to authenticate specificity and function of a T-cell biofactory, a living vector that is developed to express proportionate amounts of engineered proteins upon engaging with disease cells through their specific antigenic biomarkers. The engineered cell lines are also used to assess the cytolytic function and specificity of primary T cells engineered with chimeric antigen receptors; and the specificity of monoclonal antibodies. The strategy described can be used to generate other cell lines to present different disease-specific biomarkers for use as quality control tools. © 2019 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

A direct coculture model of primary human myofibroblasts (MyoFB) and M-CSF-differentiated macrophages (M-Mɸ) in fibrillar three-dimensional Collagen I (Coll I) matrices is developed to study intercellular interactions. The coculture experiments reveal the number of M-Mɸ regulated MyoFB dedifferentiation in a dose-dependent manner. The amount of MyoFB decreases in dependence of the number of cocultured M-Mɸ, even in the presence of MyoFB-inducing transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1 ). Gene expression analysis of matrix proteins (collagen I, collagen III, ED-A-fibronectin) confirms the results of an altered MyoFB phenotype. Additionally, M-Mɸ is shown to be the main source of secreted cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10), which is suggested to affect MyoFB dedifferentiation. These findings indicate a paracrine impact of IL-10 secretion by M-Mɸ on the MyoFB differentiation status counteracting the TGF-β1 -driven MyoFB activation. Hence, the in vitro coculture model simulates physiological situations during wound resolution and underlines the importance of paracrine IL-10 signals by M-Mɸ. In sum, the 3D Coll I-based matrices with a MyoFB-M-Mɸ coculture form a highly relevant biomimetic model of late stages of wound healing. © 2019 The Authors. Published by WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found significant improvement of OA pain after the intraarticular injection of trans-capsaicin in OA patients. We really appreciate the work which was done by the authors. However, some worthwhile issues need further exploration. This article is protected by copyright.

A dynamic network of interlinking filaments forms the microtubule cytoskeleton, which maintains the structure of cells and is key to various cellular processes including cell division, cell migration, and intracellular transport. Individual microtubules have an identity that depends on the differential integration of specific alpha- and beta-tubulin isotypes and is further specified by a variety of posttranslational modifications (PTMs). It is barely understood to which extent neighboring microtubules differ in their tubulin composition or whether specific tubulin isotypes cluster along the polymer. Furthermore, our knowledge about the spatio-temporal expression patterns of tubulin isotypes is limited, not at least due to the lack of antibodies or antibody cross-reactivities. Here, we asked which alpha- and beta-tubulin mRNAs and proteins are expressed in developing hippocampal neuron cultures and ex vivo brain tissue lysates. Using heterologous expression of GFP-tubulin fusion proteins, we systematically tested antibody-specificities against various tubulin isotypes. Our data provide quantitative information about tubulin expression levels in the mouse brain and classify tubulin isotypes during pre- and postnatal development. © 2020 The Authors.

However, incorporating appendages, such as hair follicles, into RhS still remains a challenge. The hair follicle plays a critical role in thermal regulation, dispersion of sweat and sebum, sensory and tactile functions, skin regeneration and repigmentation. The aim of this study was to determine whether human neopapilla could be incorporated into RhS (differentiated epidermis on fibroblast and endothelial cell populated dermis) and whether the neopapillae maintain their inductive follicular properties in vitro. Neopapillae spheroids, constructed from expanded and self-aggregating dermal papilla cells, synthesized extracellular matrix typically found in follicular papillae. Compared to dermal fibroblasts, neopapillae showed increased expression of multiple genes (Wnt5a, Wnt10b, LEF1) known to regulate hair development and also increased secretion of CXCL1 which is a strong keratinocyte chemoattractant. When neopapillae were incorporated into the dermis of RhS they stimulated epidermal down-growth resulting in engulfment of the neopapillae sphere. Proteasomal inhibitor Similar to the native hair follicle, the differentiated invaginating epidermis inner side was keratin 10 positive and the undifferentiated outer side keratin 10 negative. The outer side was keratin 15 positive confirming the undifferentiated nature of these keratinocytes aligning a newly formed collagen IV, laminin V positive basement membrane within the hydrogel. In conclusion, we describe a RhS model containing neopapillae with hair follicle-inductive properties. Importantly, epidermal invagination occurred to engulf the neopapillae thus demonstrating in vitro the first steps towards hair follicle morphogenesis in RhS. This article is protected by copyright.
