Methods

Neurosphere culture

  • Neurospheres were generated from cells isolated from the subventricular zone of 6–8 week old C57BL/6 mice and cultured in proliferation media consisting of DMEM/F12 (GibcoBRL/Invitrogen) containing 0.6% glucose, 3 mM NaHCO3, 5 mM HEPES, 2 mM L-glutamine, 0.1 mg/ml apo-transferrin, 25 µg/ml insulin, 60 µM putrescene, 30 mM sodium selenite, 20 nM progesterone and 1% BSA (all from), supplemented with EGF (20 ng/ml) and FGF2 (10 ng/ml), as previously described

Cell culture

  • The whole hearts extracted from male C57BL6 mice (12 weeks old) were perfused and washed several times with ice-cold PBS to remove the blood cells.
  • Aorta, pulmonary artery, and pericardium were removed carefully.
  • The hearts were minced and digested for 20-minutes at 37°C with 0.1% type-II collagenase and 0.01% DNAse-I .
  • The cells were passed through 40 µm filter, fractionated with 70%Percoll and cultured in maintenance medium containing serum-free DMEM/F12 supplemented with B27 , 20 ng/ml epidermal growth factor (EGF), and 40 ng/ml basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF).
  • The cells were collected 1-week later and re-seeded on new culture dishes with medium'>serum-free medium'>maintenance medium at a low density (100cells/cm2) to initiate colony formation.
  • Sixteen days later, the colonies thus obtained were transferred into 24-well dish and cultured individually in expansion medium containing DMEM/F12 supplemented with 2%FBS, B27-Supplement , 20 ng/ml EGF , 40…

Soluble amyloid precursor protein alpha (sAPPα) enhances proliferation in an EGF/bFGF-independent manner.

  • (b) A neurosphere formation assay was performed without growth factors (EGF and bFGF), and NPCs were treated with an inactive inhibitor , GM6001 , or GM6001 + recombinant sAPPα (GM+rec sAPPα).

Differentiation of radial glia-like cells

  • The development of oligodendrocytes was reached by a 4+4-day protocol, according to Glaser et al., 2007.
  • Briefly, the cells were cultured in basal RGl-medium supplemented with FGF2 (10ng/ml), PDGF (10ng/ml) and forskolin (10 µM), for 4 days.
  • The medium was then replaced with DMEM/F12 (1/1) containing 3,3,5-triiodothyronine (T3; 30 ng/ml) and ascorbic acid (200 µM) as only supplements.
  • At the end of the 8th day, the presence of oligodendrocytes was checked by immunocytochemical staining.

Flow cytometry

  • Differentiated celltype'>hESC cell derived neural induction cultures were rinsed with PBS, dissociated with a 1∶1 mixture of accutase and accumax, filtered through 100 um mesh to remove cell clumps and an aliquot counted on a hemocytometer.
  • Antibodies (BD) were added to a final cell concentration of 1–5×107cells/ml.
  • Labeled cells were sorted at 2.5–5.0×106 cells/ml in neural precursor sort media ( media - DMEM/F12, , , penicillin/streptomycin (all from) and 20 ng/ml bFGF - supplemented with 10% FBS and 0.5 mM EDTA).
  • To estimate the fraction of dead cells, separate aliquots of cells were stained with 750 nM propidium iodide, a membrane impermeable DNA binding dye, and analyzed by flow cytometry.
  • Two to three percent of the cells were propidium iodide positive regardless of the cell line or neural induction method employed.

Primary SV cells

  • Adipose SV cells were isolated from pooled interscapular, inguinal, and epididymal WATs of 5-week-old (P36 or P37) male mice as previously reported

iPSC generation

  • The four mouse reprogramming factors inserted into the pMXs vector backbone were obtained from Addgene (pMXs-cMyc #13375, pMXs-Klf4 #13370, pMXs-Oct4 #13366, pMXs-Sox2 #13367)−1 polybrene (Millipore #Tr-1003-G) twice on consecutive days, then lifted with Accutase (Invitrogen) a day later and replated on irradiated SNL feeders (available from European Collection of Cell Cultures, ECACC).
  • The day after replating, media was switched to hESC medium (KO-DMEM, 20% KSR, 2 mM −1 −1 FGF2 containing 0.5 mM valproate −1 FGF2.

Monolayer neuronal differentiation

  • iPSC cultures were dissociated with Accutase to generate single-cell suspensions, then differentially plated on gelatin-coated plasticware for 1 h in medium'>hESC medium in the presence of ROCK inhibitor (Y27632, Ascent) to remove SNL feeders.
  • The nonattached cells were resuspended in MEF-CM (&systems) with 10 ng ml−1 FGF2 and plated on growth-factor reduced Matrigel (B) at a density of 25,000 cells cm−2 and allowed to propagate in self-renewal conditions for 72 h or until 70–90% confluent, whereupon media was changed to KS medium containing 50 ng ml−1 Noggin , 10 μM −1 SHH C24II and 50 ng ml−1 Wnt1 for the second day onwards.
  • kk1 blocking antibody (100 ng ml−1& ) was also added for the second day only.
  • After 5 days, medium'>medium'>KSR medium'>medium containing these ligands was cross-tapered with medium'>N2B27 medium'>medium (Cells) containing…
