ABSTRACT ' Z* z: w: N3 A( ? 7 L) I( S: J: Y% |+ uCell replacement therapies have focused mainly on the use of human fetal mesencephalic tissue transplantation in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, technical difficulties and ethical considerations have prevented the widespread development of this technique. On the contrary, embryonic stem (ES) cells have many characteristics required for an optimal cell source for cell replacement therapy in PD . However, the molecular mechanisms as well as the signaling pathways implicated in neural generation in the context of stem cells have not been extensively evaluated and need to be further characterized. Indeed, both the growth and the differentiation potential of ES cells need to be controlled, and the risk associated with the growth of non-neural tissues needs to be eliminated.; X$ j/ J' R: U
# y+ \/ Y9 N% jThe differentiation of mammalian ES cells in culture has been reported to follow the hierarchical set of signals that regulate embryonic development in the generation of the germ layers and specification of cell types. Moreover, mechanisms operating during neurogenesis in embryonic development are thought to dictate the neuronal population being generated from ES cells . For instance, dilution of ES cell concentration in vitro facilitates neural differentiation . Interestingly, this effect could be mimicked by bone morphogenetic factor inhibitors such as noggin and Cerberus , as well as by using ES cells with a targeted mutation of Smad4 gene . According to the in vitro observations, the transplantation of low doses of ES cells in a Parkinson rat model resulted in neuronal dopamine(DA)–containing grafts, supporting the notion that establishment of neural identity from uncommitted mammalian ES cells occurs by default. However, these grafting experiments also showed that lack of engraftment due to insufficient cells or tumor formation accounted for 44% of the animals , indicating that the implementation of such strategy in therapeutics remains an obstacle.+ N& c; p" ]* l0 {7 z! a% F! m% q

Recent data have highlighted a key role of the GPI-anchored EGF-CFC Cripto protein in preventing neural differentiation of ES cells . Cripto is the original member of the EGF-CFC family defined by two conserved adjacent motifs: an epidermal growth factor (EGF)–like domain and a unique cysteine-rich domain, the CFC domain . Both genetic evidence and biochemical approaches demonstrate that Cripto acts as a coreceptor for the transforming growth factor ? ligand Nodal . Cripto-dependent Nodal signaling acts through the Activin type I serine/threonine kinase receptor (Alk4) and the type II receptor (ActRII) that, once activated, phosphorylates the downstream transcriptional coactivator Smad2 . Knockout mice for the cripto gene show early embryonic lethality due to gastrulation defects and are mostly constituted by anterior neuroectoderm . Furthermore, embryoid bodies (EBs) derived from Cripto-deficient (Cr–/–) ES cells selectively lose the ability to form beating cardiac myocytes in vitro and show an enhanced neural differentiation ability, thus suggesting that Cripto could represent a key molecule required for both induction of cardiomyocyte differentiation and repression of neural differentiation . 2 y7 s7 N0 H; @5 u# Z) G$ z* R) @- {) \2 L* r$ k4 B
Thus, it remains to be determined whether increased neural induction in Cr–/– ES cells may contribute to the generation of specific neuronal types such as dopaminergic neurons that could be used in therapeutic applications. Of significant concern regarding ES cell replacement therapy is the risk of teratoma formation. Worth noting, Cripto is also overexpressed in a wide range of epithelial cancers, including breast, pancreatic, ovarian, and colon carcinomas, and, more recently, antibody blockade of Cripto has been shown to suppress tumor cell growth . We therefore hypothesize that inhibition of Cripto signaling in Cr–/– ES cells, in addition to directing ES cells to increased neural commitment, may block teratoma formation, thus enhancing the therapeutic potential of ES cells.% S0 k: D6 b6 U2 V0 e% M& P: \

To establish whether Cr–/– cells have increased potential to give rise to dopaminergic cells, we first examined their differentiation potential in vitro in the presence of Shh and FGF-8, two factors important for the generation of ventral midbrain DA neurons. As previously reported , most (>70%) of Cr–/– ES cell–derived EBs showed regions of high Tuj1 labeling, which were also substantially greater than Cr / EBs (Figs. 1C, 1G). Treatment of cultures with Shh and/or FGF-8 dramatically increased the proportion of EBs expressing Tuj1 and increased the proportion of the EBs showing immunoreactivity, particularly in Cr–/– cultures treated with Shh/FGF-8 (Figs. 1C–J). Examination of TH-ir cells within the cultures revealed that in the absence of cripto, cells more frequently differentiate into TH-ir cells (Figs. 1A, 1K). Indeed, Cr–/– showed a 24-fold increase in the number of TH cells compared with Cr / ES cell cultures. In addition, the number of TH-ir cells could be additionally increased (up to 102%) by the addition of Shh or Shh plus FGF-8 (Figs. 1A, 1K–N).: [) L8 }, i) |6 g- H

RT-PCR confirmed the histochemical observations. mRNA levels for TH were greatly increased in Cr–/– cultures, with even greater levels seen in those cells treated with Shh. Furthermore, DA transporter (DAT) levels were increased in Cr–/– cells, with DAT being a marker turned on late in DA cell differentiation. Morphologically, the cells also showed a typical bipolar mature shape (Fig. 1), indicating that not only were these cultures rich in TH and DAT but that in fact the cells develop a mature phenotype. PCR also revealed increased mRNA levels of Wnt1 both in untreated and Shh-treated cultures. We recently showed that Wnt1 increases TH cell number by regulating Nurr1-ir precursor proliferation . These results suggest that suppression of Cripto not only increases the neuronal pool for differentiation into various neural subtypes but also has effects on Wnt1 expression levels, which may result in proliferation and differentiation of DA precursors into neurons. Finally, c-ret, the tyrosine kinase receptor for glial cell–derived neurotrophic factor that regulates DA neuron survival and differentiation, was also expressed at higher levels in Cr–/– ES cells. Thus, our results show that Cr–/– ES cells not only have increased capacity to generate neurons but can also generate increased numbers of TH-ir neurons. 1 M) B: D1 z) `# E9 Y: i2 L% T% E2 F. |# q$ k6 g1 @! `: T
Cripto–/– ES Cell Grafts Do Not Give Rise to Teratoma Formation in Parkinsonian Rats : k* t' p# d$ s/ C5 @8 g( N ; i1 l3 |. V: j$ n& h- l- IOne of the greatest tribulations that exists for ES cell replacement therapy is the development of teratomas from undifferentiated ES cells present within the grafted population. In this regard, Cripto is known to be overexpressed in several tumors . We therefore wished to examine whether Cr–/– ES cell grafts formed teratomas in vivo with the hypothesis that suppression of the Cripto protein may result in reduced tumor formation. We noted that all Cr / ES cell–grafted animals developed teratomas. Some tumors were small and surrounded with dense TH areas (Fig. 2A), whereas other tumors were extensive (Figs. 2B, 2C), invading forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain structures. Surprisingly, none of the animals receiving Cr–/– ES cell grafts showed any tumor-like formations by 7 weeks after grafting (Fig. 2D). 4 H% m" j7 v3 m a1 B$ w+ d% q Y" V! ?4 r0 X& i) H- b0 QFigure 2.

4 c- r, M; |" q1 b% D" P. \Several rodent studies have shown tumor formation after ES cell transplantation . The use of different ES differentiation protocols and cell sorting have reduced the risk of tumor formation after cell replacement therapy in Parkinsonian rodents; however, the use of ES cells for therapy is presently still unfeasible. Finding a gene that regulates proliferation and being able to manipulate cells before or after implantation with a "switch" to prevent tumor formation has become a key quest in the development of ES cell replacement therapies. The results shown here illustrate that gene knockout technology could be used to suppress teratoma formation and to enhance ES cell capacity to differentiate into neurons.. f) e w B7 a

Given the ability for Cripto-deficient ES cells to give rise to increased number of TH cells in vitro, we wished to assess the ability of Cr–/– ES cell transplants to restore function in Parkinsonian rats. " U% d. R: O1 [+ |8 }5 y. G, U$ A6 ?4 r( }/ s
We created an animal model of PD by injecting the neurotoxin 6-OHDA into the right SNpc of rats to produce a complete lesion. The number of SNpc neurons was counted in untreated and 6-OHDA–treated rats to determine lesion size. In total, untreated Sprague-Dawley rats had 12,161 ± 780 SNpc cells. All lesioned animals showed between 87% and 100% loss of SNpc cells, with no significant difference seen between the lesioned groups (Fig. 3A), confirming our behavioral selection of animals for grafting.$ v& R5 t6 s/ l6 ~& h$ H

& m7 w+ o6 c; V. w, FStriatal examination revealed that grafts had survived in 80% of animals, shown by the presence of cells specifically stained with antibodies against mouse glia (M2). As expected, no M2-ir or TH-ir cells were observed within the striatum of sham-operated animals, with only a few remaining TH-ir fibers present (Fig. 3C). Total counts of TH-ir cells in ES cell–grafted animals showed no significant difference, with 9,918 ± 2,968 TH-ir cells found in Cr / ES cell grafts and 8,467 ± 1,056 in Cr–/– grafts (Figs. 3B, 3D, 3E). In some instances, TH-ir cells were seen to be dispersed throughout the striatum (Figs. 3D, 3E), whereas other grafts showed pockets of TH-ir cells (Figs. 3G, 3H). These results showed that the grafts survived and had the ability to differentiate into TH-ir cells, as previously reported . [0 ^+ T$ ^/ R1 @
4 Q9 _- |+ ~0 lWe finally wished to establish the functionality of these TH cells by assessing behavioral improvements in the ES cell–grafted Parkinsonian animals. Behavioral assessment of the animals revealed a nonsignificant improvement (17%) in sham-operated animals (Fig. 3I), which may be explained by modest compensatory mechanisms such as collateral sprouting and hypertrophy of remaining fibers. Conversely, both Cr / and Cr–/– ES cell–grafted animals showed significant increases in behavior by 6 weeks (63% and 67%, respectively), and unlike Cr / -treated rats, Cr–/–-treated rats continued to improve, showing a 74% increase by 7 weeks. (Fig. 3I). It is worth mentioning that Cr / cells, despite generating similar numbers of TH-ir cells as Cr–/– grafts, did not result in the same degree of functional recovery. The slow differentiation of Cr / cells in vitro correlated well with the slow behavioral recovery of Cr / -grafted animals during the first 4 weeks compared with Cr–/– grafted animals. By weeks 5 to 6, the behavior of Cr / was similar to Cr–/– grafted animals, suggesting that a significant number of dopamine-producing cells was generated. However, by week 7, the overgrowth of the tumors in these Cr / -grafted rats resulted in reduced behavioral recovery. Interestingly, those animals having the larger tumors showed the greatest deterioration in behavioral improvement, reflecting the damage caused by inflammation and compression of adjacent structures. We thus conclude that the beneficial effects of the TH cells derived from the tumors are compromised by the growth of the tumor. This was clearly not the case for Cr–/– cells, which showed behavioral recovery in the absence of tumor formation. Overall, our results demonstrate that the striatal TH-ir cells observed within the Cr–/– grafts are functional, able to restore rotational behavior in Parkinsonian rats, and, more important, do not lead to the formation of teratomas.5 w% L& T" X! l: d
