Immune System Boosted By Stem-Cell-Based Strategy In Mouse Model

Raising hopes for cell-based therapies, UC San Francisco researchers have created the first functioning human thymus tissue from embryonic stem cells in the laboratory. The researchers showed that, in mice, the tissue can be used to foster the development of white blood cells the body needs to mount healthy immune responses and to prevent harmful autoimmune reactions.

The scientists who developed the thymus cells - which caused the proliferation and maturation of functioning immune cells when transplanted - said the achievement marks a significant step toward potential new treatments based on stem-cell and organ transplantation, as well as new therapies for type-1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases, and for immunodeficiency diseases.

Starting with human embryonic stem cells, UCSF researchers led by Mark Anderson, MD, PhD, an immunologist, and Matthias Hebrok, PhD, a stem-cell researcher and the director of the UCSF Diabetes Center, used a unique combination of growth factors to shape the developmental trajectory of the cells, and eventually hit upon a formula that yielded functional thymus tissue.

The result, reported in the online edition of the journal Cell Stem Cell, is functioning tissue that nurtures the growth and development of the white blood cells known as T cells. T cells are a central immune cell population that responds to specific disease pathogens and also prevents the immune system from attacking the body's own tissues.

The thymus might be a bit obscure to the layperson - it's a small gland at the top of the chest beneath the breastbone - but it is in no way expendable, as individuals with defective thymus function succumb to infection early in life.

Given the invasive nature of cell therapy, which remains completely experimental, the first treatments using laboratory-derived thymus tissue would likely be studied in patients with fatal diseases for which there are no effective treatments, Anderson said. For example, one early treatment might be for the genetic disease DeGeorge syndrome, in which some newborns are born without a thymus gland and die in infancy.

However, a potentially greater impact may be in the area of tissue transplantation, a goal of the emerging field of stem-cell-based therapies. Stem-cell-based therapies now are limited by the potential for the immune system to reject transplanted stem cells, Anderson said. For transplantation, stem cells might be coaxed down two developmental pathways simultaneously, to form both thymus tissue and a replacement organ. Transplantation of both might overcome the rejection barrier without the need for harmful immunosuppression, according to Anderson.

"The thymus is an environment in which T cells mature, and where they also are instructed on the difference between self and non-self," Anderson said. Some T cells are prepared by the thymus to attack foreign invaders - including transplants, while T cells that would attack our own tissues normally are eliminated in the thymus.

In the same vein, thymus tissue might one day be used to retrain the immune system in autoimmune diseases, in which the immune system abnormally attacks "self," thereby enhancing recognition and protecting from immune destruction.

Researchers have discovered many of the proteins and growth factors that are switched on during the course of embryonic development and that are crucial to organ formation. Hebrok has spent years trying to develop insulin-secreting beta cells, a part of the pancreas that is destroyed during the course of diabetes.

The sequential appearance of specific marker proteins within cells as they develop into the distinct organs of the gastrointestinal tract serves as a series of milestones, which has helped orient Hebrok and others as they seek to guide the formation of distinct tissues.

Hebrok likens the quest for organ specific cells, including thymus cells and the elusive pancreatic beta cell, to an adventurous road trip. The pancreas and the thymus branch off the gastrointestinal tract in different places, but they share certain developmental markers.

To get to thymus cells, the researchers tried dozens of protocols, timing the switching on of the key factors differently each time. "If we used one factor for a day longer or shorter it would not work," Hebrok said. With the milestones misplaced, "It would be like driving down the highway and missing your exit."

The researchers caution that they have not perfectly replicated the thymus, and that only about 15 percent of cells are successfully directed to become thymus tissue with the protocol used in the study.

Even so, Anderson said, "We now have developed a tool that allows us to modulate the immune system in a manner that we never had before."

UGC Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowship (RGNF) Scheme 2013 for SC/ST for MPhil/PhD



UGC - UNIVERSITY GRANTS COMMISSION BAHADURSHAH ZAFAR MARG

NEW DELHI-110 002

Last Date:12th June 2013

The Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowship (RGNF) Scheme for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes is formulated and funded by Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment and Ministry of Tribal Affairs. The scheme is open to candidates who belong to Scheduled Caste & Scheduled Tribe and wish to pursue higher studies such as regular and full time M.Phil. and Ph.D degrees in Sciences, Humanities, Social Sciences and Engineering & Technology. There are 2000 slots for Scheduled Caste and 667 slots for Scheduled Tribe candidates every year for all the subjects.

OBJECTIVE

The scheme has been initiated keeping in view the social background of the candidates for the deprived section of the society and to provide them opportunity to undertake advanced studies and research. The objective of this award is to provide fellowships in the form of financial assistance to students belonging to SC/ST to pursue higher studies leading to M.Phil and Ph.D degrees in Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences and Engineering & Technology.

TARGET GROUP

SC/ST Candidates who have passed the Post Graduate examination in concerned subject and who desire to pursue research without JRF of UGC-NET or UGC-CSIR NET.

ELIGIBILITY:

The candidate should belong to SC/ST and should have passed the Post Graduate examination. The selection will be made on the basis of merit of the candidates. The candidate must get himself/herself registered for M.Phil./Ph.D at the first available opportunity but not later than within a period of two years from the receipt of award letter. This period is not extendable.However, the actual payment of fellowship will be made with effect from the date of approval of fellowship or date of joining whichever is later.

NATURE OF ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE UNDER THE SCHEME:

The tenure of fellowship is initially for two years under the RGNF Scheme. Before expiry of this period, the work of the Fellow will be evaluated by a Committee of three members comprising of Head of the Department, Supervisor and one outside subject expert to be constituted by the concerned Department of the /University/Institution/College. If the research work is found satisfactory, his/her tenure will be extended further for a period of three years under the enhanced emoluments of the Rajiv Gandhi National Senior Research Fellowship (RGNSRF). The recommendation of the Committee shall be submitted to the UGC for upgradation to the level of RGNSRF. The work done and the time spent on scholarships or fellowships of any agency other than the UGC will not be taken into account while considering the proposals for enhancement in the value of fellowship. The fellowship may be withdrawn if the work is not considered satisfactory or the candidate fails in any of the examinations related to Ph.D. In case the work for the first two years is not found satisfactory, an additional year will be given to him/her for improvement. However, during this period he/she will be designated as Rajiv Gandhi National Junior Research Fellow. In such cases work will be evaluated again before third year of the tenure, and if improvement is found, the Fellow will get two more years under the RGNSRF. Thus, the total period of fellowship (RGNJRF and RGNSRF) is for five years, with no further provision of extension.
