  abstract  = {1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3) was reported to induce premature organismal aging in fibroblast growth factor-23 (Fgf23) and klotho deficient mice, which is of main interest as 1,25D3 supplementation of its precursor cholecalciferol is used in basic osteoporosis treatment. We wanted to know if 1,25D3 is able to modulate aging processes on a cellular level in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC). Effects of 100 nM 1,25D3 on hMSC were analyzed by cell proliferation and apoptosis assay, beta-galactosidase staining, VDR and surface marker immunocytochemistry, RT-PCR of 1,25D3-responsive, quiescence-and replicative senescence-associated genes. 1,25D3 treatment significantly inhibited hMSC proliferation and apoptosis after 72 h and delayed the development of replicative senescence in long-term cultures according to beta-galactosidase staining and P16 expression. Cell morphology changed from a fibroblast like appearance to broad and rounded shapes. Long term treatment did not induce lineage commitment in terms of osteogenic pathways but maintained their clonogenic capacity, their surface marker characteristics (expression of CD73, CD90, CD105) and their multipotency to develop towards the chondrogenic, adipogenic and osteogenic pathways. In conclusion, 1,25D3 delays replicative senescence in primary hMSC while the pro-aging effects seen in mouse models might mainly be due to elevated systemic phosphate levels, which propagate organismal aging.},

  abstract  = {Pentacyclic triterpenes are a large family of plant metabolites that exhibit a wide array of biological activities. The genus Cecropia, which encompasses many plant species, has been used as traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and is known to produce many active pentacyclic triterpenes. In this study we investigated the chemical composition of a pentacyclic triterpene fraction from the roots of Cecropia telenitida Cuatrec., Urticaceae. A novel compound, which we termed yarumic acid, and four known molecules (serjanic acid, spergulagenic acid A, 20-hydroxy-ursolic acid and goreishic acid I) were isolated and characterised. In a dendritic cell (DC)-based assay, we demonstrated that non-toxic doses of these pentacyclic triterpenes inhibited the secretion of at least one of the proinflammatory cytokines tested (IL-1 beta, IL-12p40, IL-12p70, TNF-alpha). Spergulagenic acid A also inhibited nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated dendritic cell. Serjanic acid and spergulagenic acid A, which were the most potent abundant compounds in the pentacyclic triterpene fraction, showed the most activity in the dendritic cell-based assay. These results show that all pentacyclic triterpenes might contribute to the anti-inflammatory activities of C. telenitida. Moreover, yarumic acid as well as the four known pentacyclic triterpenes, can be exploited as potential immunomodulatory/anti-inflammatory agents.},

  abstract  = {In mammals, megakaryocytes (MKs) in the bone marrow (BM) produce blood platelets, required for hemostasis and thrombosis. MKs originate from hematopoietic stem cells and are thought to migrate from an endosteal niche towards the vascular sinusoids during their maturation. Through imaging of MKs in the intact BM, here we show that MKs can be found within the entire BM, without a bias towards bone-distant regions. By combining in vivo two-photon microscopy and in situ light-sheet fluorescence microscopy with computational simulations, we reveal surprisingly slow MK migration, limited intervascular space, and a vessel-biased MK pool. These data challenge the current thrombopoiesis model of MK migration and support a modified model, where MKs at sinusoids are replenished by sinusoidal precursors rather than cells from a distant periostic niche. As MKs do not need to migrate to reach the vessel, therapies to increase MK numbers might be sufficient to raise platelet counts.},

  abstract  = {Since systematic hematological studies on blood and bone marrow changes after treatment with 15-Deoxyspergualin (DOS) are lacking, a quantitative assessment was performed fourteen or twenty eight days after intraperitoneal application of DOS to rats. Further observations done 7 and 14 days after discontinuation of DOS administration allowed analysis of banc marrow regeneration. DOS induced lymphocytopenia, granUlocytopenia and anemia with a decrease of bone marrow cellularity due to suppression of cell maturation. The effect was dose-dependent and bone marrow as well as blood changes were observed in animals treated with doses from 0.5 to 10.0 mg/kg DOS. Within 14 days after termination of the treatment, rapid recovery with normalization of all hematological parameters was observed. In the light of our data, these hematological side effects may not be a major disadvantage, if DOS is used in doses below 2.5 mg/kg, and for a course of therapy which is limited to 7 to 14 days.},
