Hemophilia A (HA) is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations

Hemophilia A (HA) is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the factor VIII (gene. for the purpose of cell transduction. B-domain-deleted FVIII (BDD-FVIII) is usually a shorter form of FVIII where the heavily glycosylated B domain name is usually deleted and has been shown to be as functionally active as the full-length FVIII33. In this study, we test the feasibility of isolating PMSCs from first trimester chorionic villus tissue LDN193189 enzyme inhibitor and successfully transducing them with the gene to express functional FVIII. We then evaluated the potential of the BDD-FVIII expressing PMSCs for IUT in wild-type mice. Materials and Methods Isolation and Growth of PMSCs from Human Early Gestation Placenta Discarded deidentified first trimester gestation placental tissue (11 to 12 wk) was collected at the University of California, Davis (UCD) Medical Center. The study was submitted to the UCD Institutional Review Board (IRB) and decided to be exempt from review. PMSCs were isolated from dissected chorionic villus tissue by using our well-established explant culture method developed in our laboratory32,34. Isolated cells were cultured in complete culture media for PMSCs consisting of high-glucose Dulbeccos altered Eagles medium (DMEM) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Hyclone, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Logan, UT, USA) and 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 g/mL streptomycin. Passages 4 to 7 Akt2 were used in all our studies presented here. Lentiviral Vector Transduction of PMSCs All lentiviral constructs were synthesized at the UCD Institute for Regenerative Cures (IRC) vector core. For creating BDD-FVIII-expressing lentiviral vector, plasmid containing BDD-FVIII complementary DNA (cDNA) was purchased from Addgene (plasmid #46775), and cDNA LDN193189 enzyme inhibitor was inserted into the lentiviral vector pCCLc (Takara Bio USA Inc, Mountain View, CA, USA) that confers neomycin resistance: pCCLc-MNDU3-BDD-FVIII-PGK-NEO-WPRE. The control vector did not have the BDD-FVIII sequence: pCCLc-MNDU3-PGK-NEO-WPRE. Luciferase (LUC) and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) made up of lentiviral vector (pCCLc-MNDU3-LUC-PGK-EGFP-WPRE) was created for tracking analysis. For transduction of lentiviral vectors, 1 106 cells were seeded in T150 flasks and allowed to adhere overnight. Cells were double transduced with either the BDD-FVIII vector or the control vector and the LUC/GFP vector in transduction media consisting of high-glucose DMEM, 10% FBS, and 8 g/mL protamine sulfate (MP Biomedicals, LLC, USA). All vectors were transduced at a multiplicity of contamination of 10 for 6 h. Cells were then washed twice with 1 phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and cultured in complete media for 72 h. After 72 h, media made up of 200 g/mL of G418 (EMD, Billerica, MA, USA) was added to the cells and screened for neomycin resistance for 7 d. This screening will eliminate cells that were transduced with LUC/GFP vector only and retain the cells that had either gene only or both and LDN193189 enzyme inhibitor genes. Cells were then cultured and expanded in complete medium. PMSC Characterization by Flow Cytometry and Trilineage Differentiation Cells were analyzed by flow cytometry as previously described32,34. They were stained with FITC-CD44 (560977), PE-CD44 (51-9007656), PE-CD73 (561014), APC-CD45 (560973), PE-CD31 (560983), APC-CD29 (561794), PE-CD90 (561970), PE-CD34 (550761), APC-CD105 (562408), AF647-HLA-DR (563591), and FITC-HLA-DR (555560), all from BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA and APC-HLA-G (BioLegend #335909) or appropriate isotype controls (BioLegend #400221, B.D. #51-9007655, 556650, 550854, and 556655). BD? anti-mouse Ig, CompBeads were used to generate compensation controls. Transduction efficiency was assessed by GFP flow cytometry analysis. Flow cytometry was performed using FACSCanto cytometer (BD.
