Where have we beenhellip where are we
going
bull As development proceeds from a
ldquototipotentrdquo zygote cells proliferate and
segregate by lineage-progression resulting
in formation of differentiated phenotypes
bull Processes begin with a totipotent zygote
and continues throughout life
bull As development proceeds from totipotent
zygote cells proliferate and segregated by
lineage-commitment into two pluripotent
layers
ndash TROPHBLAST Extra-embryonic
membranes of placenta and the inner
cell mass which becomes embryo
ndash INNER CELL MASS
bull Hypoblast
bull Epiblast
Hypoblast amp Epiblast
bull Hypoblast and Epiblast
ndash Segregates into pluripotent primary germ layers
bull Ectodermal
bull Mesoderm
bull Endoderm
bull Further segregation through lineage-commitment
-- Multipotent -- Tripotent
-- Bipotent
bull Eventually Unipotent lineages further defines
differentiation pathways to become quiescent reserve
stem cells
bull Fxn maintenance and repair of tissues of postnatal
organism
Precursor Cells in Adults Totipotent SCs Embryo placenta Gamates (sperm amp ovum)
Pluripotent SCs form ectodermal lineage cells mesoderm lineage cells and endoderm lineage cells All cells of the embryo but not the placeta and gamates
Ultra-small nucleated plasma particle (u-NP2)
Small-nucleated plasma particle (s-NP2)
Intermediate-nucleated plasma particle (i-NP2)
Large-nucleated plasma particle (l-NP2)
Germ Layer GL-EctoSCs GL-MesoSCs GL-EndoSCs
Lineage SCs
Progenitor Multipotent PCs hematopoietic
Cells Tripotent PCs chondral-osteo--adipogenic
Bipotent PCs adipo-fibrogenic
Unipotent PCs myoblast fibroblast adipoblast etc
Embryonic Stem Cell Matching
bull Embyronics HLA mismatch
ndash Donor cells are rejected with mismatch
bull Some have got around this with
therapuetic cloning
ndash Cell from recipient nucleus into donor cell and
thus recognized as self
ndash Very expensive
ndash Cells have limited life span and do not have
same plasticity
ndash Can not transplant male to female cells
Holy grail
Unipotent Reserve Stem Cells
bull Examples
ndash Unipotent myosatellite myoblasts of muscle (Mauro
1961 Campion 1984 Grounds et al 1992)
ndash Unipotent adipoblast cells of adipose tissue (Allhaud
et al 1992)
ndash Unipotent chondorgenic cells and osteogeic cells of
perichondrium and periosteum Cruess 1982 Young
et al 1995)
ndash Bipotent reserve mesenchymal stem cells
adipofibroblasts (Vierck et al 1996 Beresford 1989
Caplan et al 1997) and others
Multipotent cells
bull Multipotent stem cells of marrow
ndash Owen 1988 Beresford 1989 Rickard et al
1994 Caplan et al 1997 Prockop 1997)
bull Tripotent preserved mesenchymal stem cells
ndash Cardiogenicosteogenicadipogenic stem cells
of marrow (Pittenger et al 1999)
bull Multipotent hematopoietic stem cells of marrow
(Palis and Segel 1989 Maguire 1998
Ratajczak et al 1998)
Adult pleuripotent cells
bull Pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells initially found in
connective tissues of prenatal avians mice and rats
(Grigoriadis et al 1988 Young et al 1993 1998
Rogers et al 1995)
bull Pluripotent stem cells are not committed to any particular
tissue lineage
ndash Can generate into multiple lineage-committed progenitor
cells from a single clone thus forming any tissue within a
particular germ layer lineage
ndash Isolated from postnatal animals-capable of extended self
renewal as long as they remain uncommitted to a particular
lineage
bull Example PP mesenchymal stem cell clone Myotubes fat cartilage
nodules and bone after 690 cell doublings
Adult pleuripotent cells
bull Unlike progenitor stem cells pluripotent stem cells are
not affected by progression factors such as insulin
IGF-1 IGF-II
bull Differentiation factors such as dexamethasone BMP
muscle morphogenic protein (MMP) does induce lineage
commitment in these cells
bull Once PPSCs commit to a particular lineage they assume
the characteristics of lineage-committed progenitor cells
ndash Their ability to replicate reduces from 600 x to 60 x before
becoming senescent
Adult pleuripotent cells
bull Really Can we do this
bull Studies and postnatal rats rabbits and humans suggest
that resident stem cells consistent both lineage-rdquo
committed cells and lineage non-comitted pluri-
potent stem cells ndash (Pate et al 1993 Lucas et al 1995 1996 Young et al 1999)
bull In addition there are established populations of lineage-
committed progenitor stem cells ndash (Mauro 1961 Cruess 1982 Campion 1984 Owen 1988 Beresford
1989 Ailhaud et al 1992 Grounds et al 1992 Rickard et al 1994
Young et al 1995 Vierck et al 1996 Caplan et al 1997 Prockop

Adult pleuripotent cells bull 2001 Clonogenic Analysis of Reserve Stem Cells in
Postnatal Mamals Isolation from muscle discection
Once isolated and incubated with insulin less than 1 of
the cells displayed phenotypic markers for differentiated
cells of various mesodermal clinic ages
bull Thus the majority of progenitor stem cells were removed
from the population by propagating the cells for more
than 50 cell doublings some prior to cloning
ndash 50 cell doublings causes lineage ndash committed stem cells to
undergo programmed cell senescence and death ( Hayflick
1963 Young et al 1999 Young 2000)
ndash 2001 the larger cells with low ratios of nucleus to cytoplasm
were observed to undergo apoptosis between 40-50 cell
doublings
ndash The remainder of cells that continued to divide were smaller
with low CP Nuc ratio
Totipotent amp pluripotent cultures

bull Toti and Pluri
form layers and
not inhibited by
contact inibition
Precursor cells formed during
embryogensis
bull Remarkably while the vast majority of developing
blastomeres transition through the sequence of
developmental and differentiation for embryogenesis
bull a few cells become reserve precursor cells that provide
for continual maintenance (progenitor cells)and repair
(stem cells)of the organism
bull The totipotent and pluripotent
stem cells can be seen as early
as the morula stage in human
embryonic development
Precursor Cells ESCs
bull Totipotent stem cells equivalent in
differentiation potential to the blastomeres of the
morula and blastocyst
bull Pluripotent stem cells are equivalent in
differentiation potential to the cells of the epiblast
bull Germ layer lineage stem cells
ndash ENDODERM Stem cells gastrointestinal epithelium
hepatocytes and pancreatic cells (α-cells β-cells δ-
cells and ductal cells)
ndash ECTODERM Stem Cells neurons neuroglia
epidermis hair teeth and nails
ndash MESODERM Stem Cells muscle fat cartilage bone
connective tissues endothelial cells and blood cells
Embryonic stem cell amp
Teratomas bull When ESCs were placed into an animal they can form a
mass of tissue that contained a variety of cell types in a
non-spatially arranged jumbled fashion
bull This configuration is reminiscent of the sacrococcygeal
teratoma that can form during embryogenesis if residual
primitive streak cells remain after gastrulation at the
caudal end of the developing embryo located caudal to
the notochord (the primary inducer of the embryo)
Teratoma in APPSC ATPSC
bull Adult PPSC and TPSC cells once placed in
environment commit to a particular tissuecell
lineage lose the telomerase enzyme
bull Thus assume all attributes of tissue-committed
progenitor cells including a defined biological
lifespan of 8ndash10 population doublings for rodents
and 50ndash70 population doublings for humans
bull Thushellip No Teratomas

Teleomerase
bull Telomerase was discovered by Carol W Greider and Elizabeth
Blackburn in 1984 in the ciliate Tetrahymena[3] Together with Jack
W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation
The preprogrammed biological clock for endogenous stem
cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather
when the stem cells commit to a particular progenitor
tissuecell lineage

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated
bull Along the stem cell developmental continuum from totipotent stem
cells (which grow in suspension culture to adherent culture) to
unipotent progenitor cells (which grow as adherent cultures)
MAPCs grow as adherent cultures
Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Very small three to five micron cells were originally isolated from
adult murine bone marrow (Sca1+Lin- CD45-) and human cord
blood (CD133+Lin-CD45-)
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such
as cell surface SSEA and nuclear Oct4 and Nanog transcription
factors
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio and
demonstrate a preponderance of euchromatin rather than
heterochromatin
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in
bull skeletal muscle
bull gonads

Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size embryonic markers and
ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very
small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs)
bull Very low numbers of VSELs circulate throughout the
vasculature under steady-state conditions
bull Additional VSELs can be mobilized in patients during
myocardial infarction stroke acute burns active
inflammatory bowel disease and cancer and with the
use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor

bull Originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal
muscle of newborn and adult
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental
markers such as cell surface SSEA (stage specific
embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription
factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2 CXCR4 Oct4 and
telomerase

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2
CXCR4 Oct4 and telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display
a normal karyotype after population doublings well in excess Hayflickrsquos limit
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

3) Stem cells have unlimited proliferation potential
4) Stem cells maintain a biological ldquoclockrdquo of zero
until differentiation begins
1) Progenitor cells are NOT ldquoplasticrdquo ndash have a defined
differentiation potential
2) Progenitor cells ARE committed to a specific cell
tissue type
3) Progenitor cells have a limited life span ie
humans 50-70 population doublings before
senescence and death
4) Progenitor cellsrsquo Biological ldquoclockrdquo starts at birth

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Blackburn in 1984 in the ciliate Tetrahymena[3] Together with Jack
W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation
The preprogrammed biological clock for endogenous stem
cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather
when the stem cells commit to a particular progenitor

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated

cells (which grow in suspension culture to adherent culture) to
unipotent progenitor cells (which grow as adherent cultures)

ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2

bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display
a normal karyotype after population doublings well in excess Hayflickrsquos limit
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts

peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the

bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

bull Lindvall proposed that four different cellular sources
could be used to form dopaminergic neurons for neural
transplantation for Parkinson disease
ndash (a) embryonic stem cells from a fertilized egg
ndash (b) neural stem cells from an embryonic brain
ndash (c) neural stem cells from an adult brain or
ndash (d) stem cells from other tissues
bull The crucial issue is whether the transplanted cells would
form functional dopaminergic neurons regardless of the
source of the stem cells

bull Pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells initially found in
connective tissues of prenatal avians mice and rats
(Grigoriadis et al 1988 Young et al 1993 1998
Rogers et al 1995)
bull Pluripotent stem cells are not committed to any particular
tissue lineage
ndash Can generate into multiple lineage-committed progenitor
cells from a single clone thus forming any tissue within a
particular germ layer lineage
ndash Isolated from postnatal animals-capable of extended self
renewal as long as they remain uncommitted to a particular
lineage
bull Example PP mesenchymal stem cell clone Myotubes fat cartilage
nodules and bone after 690 cell doublings
Adult pleuripotent cells
bull Unlike progenitor stem cells pluripotent stem cells are
not affected by progression factors such as insulin
IGF-1 IGF-II
bull Differentiation factors such as dexamethasone BMP
muscle morphogenic protein (MMP) does induce lineage
commitment in these cells
bull Once PPSCs commit to a particular lineage they assume
the characteristics of lineage-committed progenitor cells
ndash Their ability to replicate reduces from 600 x to 60 x before
becoming senescent
Adult pleuripotent cells

bull Thus the majority of progenitor stem cells were removed
from the population by propagating the cells for more

Teratomas bull When ESCs were placed into an animal they can form a
mass of tissue that contained a variety of cell types in a

bull This configuration is reminiscent of the sacrococcygeal

Enzyme
Critical for lineage uncommitted

Teleomerase
bull Telomerase was discovered by Carol W Greider and Elizabeth
Blackburn in 1984 in the ciliate Tetrahymena[3] Together with Jack
W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation
The preprogrammed biological clock for endogenous stem
cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather
when the stem cells commit to a particular progenitor
tissuecell lineage

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated
bull Along the stem cell developmental continuum from totipotent stem
cells (which grow in suspension culture to adherent culture) to
unipotent progenitor cells (which grow as adherent cultures)
MAPCs grow as adherent cultures
Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Very small three to five micron cells were originally isolated from
adult murine bone marrow (Sca1+Lin- CD45-) and human cord
blood (CD133+Lin-CD45-)
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such
as cell surface SSEA and nuclear Oct4 and Nanog transcription
factors
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio and
demonstrate a preponderance of euchromatin rather than
heterochromatin
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in
bull skeletal muscle

Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size embryonic markers and
ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very
small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs)
bull Very low numbers of VSELs circulate throughout the
vasculature under steady-state conditions
bull Additional VSELs can be mobilized in patients during
myocardial infarction stroke acute burns active
inflammatory bowel disease and cancer and with the

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2
CXCR4 Oct4 and telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display
a normal karyotype after population doublings well in excess Hayflickrsquos limit
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

bull Pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells initially found in
connective tissues of prenatal avians mice and rats
(Grigoriadis et al 1988 Young et al 1993 1998
Rogers et al 1995)
bull Pluripotent stem cells are not committed to any particular
tissue lineage
ndash Can generate into multiple lineage-committed progenitor
cells from a single clone thus forming any tissue within a
particular germ layer lineage
ndash Isolated from postnatal animals-capable of extended self
renewal as long as they remain uncommitted to a particular
lineage
bull Example PP mesenchymal stem cell clone Myotubes fat cartilage
nodules and bone after 690 cell doublings
Adult pleuripotent cells
bull Unlike progenitor stem cells pluripotent stem cells are
not affected by progression factors such as insulin
IGF-1 IGF-II
bull Differentiation factors such as dexamethasone BMP
muscle morphogenic protein (MMP) does induce lineage
commitment in these cells
bull Once PPSCs commit to a particular lineage they assume
the characteristics of lineage-committed progenitor cells
ndash Their ability to replicate reduces from 600 x to 60 x before
becoming senescent
Adult pleuripotent cells
bull Really Can we do this

that resident stem cells consistent both lineage-rdquo
committed cells and lineage non-comitted pluri-
potent stem cells ndash (Pate et al 1993 Lucas et al 1995 1996 Young et al 1999)

Adult pleuripotent cells bull 2001 Clonogenic Analysis of Reserve Stem Cells in
Postnatal Mamals Isolation from muscle discection
Once isolated and incubated with insulin less than 1 of
the cells displayed phenotypic markers for differentiated
cells of various mesodermal clinic ages
bull Thus the majority of progenitor stem cells were removed
from the population by propagating the cells for more
than 50 cell doublings some prior to cloning
ndash 50 cell doublings causes lineage ndash committed stem cells to
undergo programmed cell senescence and death ( Hayflick
1963 Young et al 1999 Young 2000)
ndash 2001 the larger cells with low ratios of nucleus to cytoplasm
were observed to undergo apoptosis between 40-50 cell
doublings

Teratomas bull When ESCs were placed into an animal they can form a
mass of tissue that contained a variety of cell types in a

bull This configuration is reminiscent of the sacrococcygeal
teratoma that can form during embryogenesis if residual
primitive streak cells remain after gastrulation at the
caudal end of the developing embryo located caudal to
the notochord (the primary inducer of the embryo)
Teratoma in APPSC ATPSC

bull Telomerase was discovered by Carol W Greider and Elizabeth
Blackburn in 1984 in the ciliate Tetrahymena[3] Together with Jack
W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation
The preprogrammed biological clock for endogenous stem
cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather
when the stem cells commit to a particular progenitor

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated
bull Along the stem cell developmental continuum from totipotent stem
cells (which grow in suspension culture to adherent culture) to
unipotent progenitor cells (which grow as adherent cultures)
MAPCs grow as adherent cultures
Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Very small three to five micron cells were originally isolated from
adult murine bone marrow (Sca1+Lin- CD45-) and human cord
blood (CD133+Lin-CD45-)
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such
as cell surface SSEA and nuclear Oct4 and Nanog transcription
factors
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio and
demonstrate a preponderance of euchromatin rather than
heterochromatin
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in
bull skeletal muscle
bull gonads
bull heart
bull brain

Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size embryonic markers and
ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very
small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs)
bull Very low numbers of VSELs circulate throughout the
vasculature under steady-state conditions
bull Additional VSELs can be mobilized in patients during
myocardial infarction stroke acute burns active
inflammatory bowel disease and cancer and with the
use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal
muscle of newborn and adult
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental
markers such as cell surface SSEA (stage specific
embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription
factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2 CXCR4 Oct4 and
telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2
CXCR4 Oct4 and telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display
a normal karyotype after population doublings well in excess Hayflickrsquos limit
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Neuronal Repair
Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation
The preprogrammed biological clock for endogenous stem
cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather
when the stem cells commit to a particular progenitor

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated

cells (which grow in suspension culture to adherent culture) to
unipotent progenitor cells (which grow as adherent cultures)

ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2

bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display

bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts

peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Stem cells for PD
bull Lindvall proposed that four different cellular sources
could be used to form dopaminergic neurons for neural
transplantation for Parkinson disease
ndash (a) embryonic stem cells from a fertilized egg
ndash (b) neural stem cells from an embryonic brain
ndash (c) neural stem cells from an adult brain or
ndash (d) stem cells from other tissues
bull The crucial issue is whether the transplanted cells would
form functional dopaminergic neurons regardless of the
source of the stem cells

Stem Cells for PD
bull Young et al 1 reported the isolation and single cell
cloning of adult-derived pluripotent stem cells from the
connective tissue stroma of multiple organs in animals

derived pluripotent cells was capable of objectively
forming 63 of the 220+ possible cells of the body

Endogenous Stem Cells
bull Totipotent stem cells ndash will replicate themselves as well as forming similar downstream
cell types similar to embryonic blastomeres of the morula
stage of development
ndash Will form all somatic tissues within the embryo proper including
spermatogonia
ndash Equivalent in differentiation potential to the blastomeres of the
morula and blastocyst
bull Pluripotent stem cells ndash Will replicate themselves and form similar downstream cell types
as embryonic epiblast cells (all somatic cells of the embryo but
not the gametes)
ndash Equivalent in differentiation potential to the cells of the epiblast
Endogenous Stem Cells
bull Germ layer lineage stem cells (ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal stem cells) will replicate
themselves as well as form downstream cell types
belonging to their respective germ layer lineages
bull They are thus equivalent in differentiation potential to the
cells comprising the ectodermal mesodermal and
endodermal germ layer lineages respectively
bull Precursor cells that are ldquotruerdquo stem cells and not
misnamed progenitor cells (lineage-uncommitted cells
rather than lineage-committed cells) contain the

The Telomere
amp Teleomerase
Enzyme
Critical for lineage uncommitted
stem cell replication
Teleomerase
bull Telomerase was discovered by Carol W Greider and Elizabeth
Blackburn in 1984 in the ciliate Tetrahymena[3] Together with Jack
W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation
The preprogrammed biological clock for endogenous stem
cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather
when the stem cells commit to a particular progenitor
tissuecell lineage

Amniotic Fluid-Derived
Pluripotent Stem Cells bull The amniotic fluid contains a mixture of predominantly
epithelial cells It is thought that they are sloughed off
from the epidermis gastrointestinal and urinary
epithelia They range from six to fifty microns in size and
express cell surface markers from all three primary germ
layer lineages
bull Small percentage of cells that display the c-kit cell
surface marker by FACS analysis This c-kit-positive
population of cells were expanded to sub-confluence
every 48-72 hours
bull These c-kit-positive cells derived from the amniotic fluid
demonstrate greater than 300 population doublings
which is far greater than Hayflickrsquos limit

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated
bull Along the stem cell developmental continuum from totipotent stem
cells (which grow in suspension culture to adherent culture) to
unipotent progenitor cells (which grow as adherent cultures)
MAPCs grow as adherent cultures
Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Very small three to five micron cells were originally isolated from
adult murine bone marrow (Sca1+Lin- CD45-) and human cord
blood (CD133+Lin-CD45-)
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such
as cell surface SSEA and nuclear Oct4 and Nanog transcription
factors
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio and
demonstrate a preponderance of euchromatin rather than
heterochromatin
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in
bull skeletal muscle

Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size embryonic markers and
ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very
small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs)
bull Very low numbers of VSELs circulate throughout the
vasculature under steady-state conditions
bull Additional VSELs can be mobilized in patients during
myocardial infarction stroke acute burns active
inflammatory bowel disease and cancer and with the
use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal
muscle of newborn and adult
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental
markers such as cell surface SSEA (stage specific
embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2
CXCR4 Oct4 and telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display
a normal karyotype after population doublings well in excess Hayflickrsquos limit
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Teratomas bull When ESCs were placed into an animal they can form a
mass of tissue that contained a variety of cell types in a
non-spatially arranged jumbled fashion
bull This configuration is reminiscent of the sacrococcygeal
teratoma that can form during embryogenesis if residual
primitive streak cells remain after gastrulation at the
caudal end of the developing embryo located caudal to
the notochord (the primary inducer of the embryo)

and 50ndash70 population doublings for humans

Blackburn in 1984 in the ciliate Tetrahymena[3] Together with Jack
W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation
The preprogrammed biological clock for endogenous stem
cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather
when the stem cells commit to a particular progenitor

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated

cells (which grow in suspension culture to adherent culture) to
unipotent progenitor cells (which grow as adherent cultures)

ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2

bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display

bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Cells
Progenitor
Cells
1) Stem cells ARE ldquoPlasticrdquo ndash can form any
downstream cell type (unidirectional only)
2) Stem cells are NOT committed to any specific cell
tissue type
3) Stem cells have unlimited proliferation potential
4) Stem cells maintain a biological ldquoclockrdquo of zero
until differentiation begins
1) Progenitor cells are NOT ldquoplasticrdquo ndash have a defined
differentiation potential
2) Progenitor cells ARE committed to a specific cell
tissue type
3) Progenitor cells have a limited life span ie
humans 50-70 population doublings before
senescence and death
4) Progenitor cellsrsquo Biological ldquoclockrdquo starts at birth

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

ParkinsonrsquosDisease
Neuronal Repair
Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Stem cells for PD
bull Lindvall proposed that four different cellular sources
could be used to form dopaminergic neurons for neural
transplantation for Parkinson disease
ndash (a) embryonic stem cells from a fertilized egg
ndash (b) neural stem cells from an embryonic brain
ndash (c) neural stem cells from an adult brain or
ndash (d) stem cells from other tissues
bull The crucial issue is whether the transplanted cells would
form functional dopaminergic neurons regardless of the
source of the stem cells
Lindvall O Stem cells for cell therapy in Parkinsonrsquos disease Pharmacol Res 200347279ndash287
Stem Cells for PD
bull Young et al 1 reported the isolation and single cell
cloning of adult-derived pluripotent stem cells from the
connective tissue stroma of multiple organs in animals
and humans
bull They demonstrated that a clonal population of adult-
derived pluripotent cells was capable of objectively
forming 63 of the 220+ possible cells of the body
including multiple types of neurons oligodendrocytes

Endogenous Stem Cells
bull Totipotent stem cells ndash will replicate themselves as well as forming similar downstream
cell types similar to embryonic blastomeres of the morula
stage of development
ndash Will form all somatic tissues within the embryo proper including
spermatogonia
ndash Equivalent in differentiation potential to the blastomeres of the
morula and blastocyst
bull Pluripotent stem cells ndash Will replicate themselves and form similar downstream cell types
as embryonic epiblast cells (all somatic cells of the embryo but
not the gametes)
ndash Equivalent in differentiation potential to the cells of the epiblast
Endogenous Stem Cells
bull Germ layer lineage stem cells (ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal stem cells) will replicate
themselves as well as form downstream cell types
belonging to their respective germ layer lineages
bull They are thus equivalent in differentiation potential to the
cells comprising the ectodermal mesodermal and
endodermal germ layer lineages respectively
bull Precursor cells that are ldquotruerdquo stem cells and not
misnamed progenitor cells (lineage-uncommitted cells
rather than lineage-committed cells) contain the
telomerase enzyme as long as the cells remain

The Telomere
amp Teleomerase
Enzyme
Critical for lineage uncommitted
stem cell replication
Teleomerase
bull Telomerase was discovered by Carol W Greider and Elizabeth
Blackburn in 1984 in the ciliate Tetrahymena[3] Together with Jack
W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation
The preprogrammed biological clock for endogenous stem
cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather
when the stem cells commit to a particular progenitor
tissuecell lineage

Amniotic Fluid-Derived
Pluripotent Stem Cells bull The amniotic fluid contains a mixture of predominantly
epithelial cells It is thought that they are sloughed off
from the epidermis gastrointestinal and urinary
epithelia They range from six to fifty microns in size and
express cell surface markers from all three primary germ
layer lineages
bull Small percentage of cells that display the c-kit cell
surface marker by FACS analysis This c-kit-positive
population of cells were expanded to sub-confluence
every 48-72 hours
bull These c-kit-positive cells derived from the amniotic fluid
demonstrate greater than 300 population doublings
which is far greater than Hayflickrsquos limit

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated
bull Along the stem cell developmental continuum from totipotent stem
cells (which grow in suspension culture to adherent culture) to
unipotent progenitor cells (which grow as adherent cultures)
MAPCs grow as adherent cultures
Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Very small three to five micron cells were originally isolated from
adult murine bone marrow (Sca1+Lin- CD45-) and human cord
blood (CD133+Lin-CD45-)
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such
as cell surface SSEA and nuclear Oct4 and Nanog transcription
factors
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio and
demonstrate a preponderance of euchromatin rather than
heterochromatin
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in
bull skeletal muscle

Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size embryonic markers and
ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very
small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs)
bull Very low numbers of VSELs circulate throughout the
vasculature under steady-state conditions
bull Additional VSELs can be mobilized in patients during
myocardial infarction stroke acute burns active
inflammatory bowel disease and cancer and with the
use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal
muscle of newborn and adult
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental
markers such as cell surface SSEA (stage specific
embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription
factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2 CXCR4 Oct4 and

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2
CXCR4 Oct4 and telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display
a normal karyotype after population doublings well in excess Hayflickrsquos limit
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Teleomerase
bull Telomerase was discovered by Carol W Greider and Elizabeth
Blackburn in 1984 in the ciliate Tetrahymena[3] Together with Jack
W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation
The preprogrammed biological clock for endogenous stem
cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather
when the stem cells commit to a particular progenitor

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated
bull Along the stem cell developmental continuum from totipotent stem
cells (which grow in suspension culture to adherent culture) to
unipotent progenitor cells (which grow as adherent cultures)
MAPCs grow as adherent cultures
Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Very small three to five micron cells were originally isolated from
adult murine bone marrow (Sca1+Lin- CD45-) and human cord
blood (CD133+Lin-CD45-)
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such
as cell surface SSEA and nuclear Oct4 and Nanog transcription
factors

ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very
small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs)
bull Very low numbers of VSELs circulate throughout the
vasculature under steady-state conditions
bull Additional VSELs can be mobilized in patients during

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2
CXCR4 Oct4 and telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display
a normal karyotype after population doublings well in excess Hayflickrsquos limit
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Induction of Specific Cell Types
Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

The Telomere
amp Teleomerase
Enzyme
Critical for lineage uncommitted
stem cell replication
Teleomerase
bull Telomerase was discovered by Carol W Greider and Elizabeth
Blackburn in 1984 in the ciliate Tetrahymena[3] Together with Jack
W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation
The preprogrammed biological clock for endogenous stem
cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather
when the stem cells commit to a particular progenitor
tissuecell lineage

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated
bull Along the stem cell developmental continuum from totipotent stem
cells (which grow in suspension culture to adherent culture) to
unipotent progenitor cells (which grow as adherent cultures)
MAPCs grow as adherent cultures

as cell surface SSEA and nuclear Oct4 and Nanog transcription
factors

bull Because of their small size embryonic markers and
ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very
small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs)
bull Very low numbers of VSELs circulate throughout the
vasculature under steady-state conditions
bull Additional VSELs can be mobilized in patients during
myocardial infarction stroke acute burns active
inflammatory bowel disease and cancer and with the
use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal
muscle of newborn and adult
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental
markers such as cell surface SSEA (stage specific
embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription
factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2 CXCR4 Oct4 and
telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic
ratio

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2
CXCR4 Oct4 and telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display
a normal karyotype after population doublings well in excess Hayflickrsquos limit
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Neuronal Repair
Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

mesodermal and endodermal stem cells) will replicate
themselves as well as form downstream cell types
belonging to their respective germ layer lineages
bull They are thus equivalent in differentiation potential to the
cells comprising the ectodermal mesodermal and
endodermal germ layer lineages respectively

Teleomerase
bull Telomerase was discovered by Carol W Greider and Elizabeth
Blackburn in 1984 in the ciliate Tetrahymena[3] Together with Jack
W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation
The preprogrammed biological clock for endogenous stem
cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather
when the stem cells commit to a particular progenitor
tissuecell lineage

Amniotic Fluid-Derived
Pluripotent Stem Cells bull The amniotic fluid contains a mixture of predominantly
epithelial cells It is thought that they are sloughed off
from the epidermis gastrointestinal and urinary
epithelia They range from six to fifty microns in size and
express cell surface markers from all three primary germ
layer lineages
bull Small percentage of cells that display the c-kit cell
surface marker by FACS analysis This c-kit-positive
population of cells were expanded to sub-confluence

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated
bull Along the stem cell developmental continuum from totipotent stem
cells (which grow in suspension culture to adherent culture) to
unipotent progenitor cells (which grow as adherent cultures)
MAPCs grow as adherent cultures
Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Very small three to five micron cells were originally isolated from
adult murine bone marrow (Sca1+Lin- CD45-) and human cord
blood (CD133+Lin-CD45-)
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such
as cell surface SSEA and nuclear Oct4 and Nanog transcription
factors
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio and
demonstrate a preponderance of euchromatin rather than
heterochromatin
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in
bull skeletal muscle

Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size embryonic markers and
ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very
small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs)
bull Very low numbers of VSELs circulate throughout the
vasculature under steady-state conditions
bull Additional VSELs can be mobilized in patients during
myocardial infarction stroke acute burns active
inflammatory bowel disease and cancer and with the

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2
CXCR4 Oct4 and telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display
a normal karyotype after population doublings well in excess Hayflickrsquos limit
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts

peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Teleomerase
bull Telomerase was discovered by Carol W Greider and Elizabeth
Blackburn in 1984 in the ciliate Tetrahymena[3] Together with Jack
W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation
The preprogrammed biological clock for endogenous stem
cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather
when the stem cells commit to a particular progenitor
tissuecell lineage

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated
bull Along the stem cell developmental continuum from totipotent stem
cells (which grow in suspension culture to adherent culture) to
unipotent progenitor cells (which grow as adherent cultures)
MAPCs grow as adherent cultures
Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Very small three to five micron cells were originally isolated from
adult murine bone marrow (Sca1+Lin- CD45-) and human cord
blood (CD133+Lin-CD45-)
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such
as cell surface SSEA and nuclear Oct4 and Nanog transcription
factors

Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size embryonic markers and
ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very
small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs)
bull Very low numbers of VSELs circulate throughout the
vasculature under steady-state conditions
bull Additional VSELs can be mobilized in patients during
myocardial infarction stroke acute burns active

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2
CXCR4 Oct4 and telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display
a normal karyotype after population doublings well in excess Hayflickrsquos limit
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts

peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Blackburn in 1984 in the ciliate Tetrahymena[3] Together with Jack
W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation

cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather
when the stem cells commit to a particular progenitor

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated

cells (which grow in suspension culture to adherent culture) to
unipotent progenitor cells (which grow as adherent cultures)

ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very
small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs)
bull Very low numbers of VSELs circulate throughout the
vasculature under steady-state conditions
bull Additional VSELs can be mobilized in patients during

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2
CXCR4 Oct4 and telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display
a normal karyotype after population doublings well in excess Hayflickrsquos limit
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Cells
1) Stem cells ARE ldquoPlasticrdquo ndash can form any
downstream cell type (unidirectional only)
2) Stem cells are NOT committed to any specific cell
tissue type
3) Stem cells have unlimited proliferation potential
4) Stem cells maintain a biological ldquoclockrdquo of zero
until differentiation begins
1) Progenitor cells are NOT ldquoplasticrdquo ndash have a defined
differentiation potential
2) Progenitor cells ARE committed to a specific cell
tissue type
3) Progenitor cells have a limited life span ie
humans 50-70 population doublings before
senescence and death
4) Progenitor cellsrsquo Biological ldquoclockrdquo starts at birth

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Neuronal Repair
Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Stem cells for PD
bull Lindvall proposed that four different cellular sources
could be used to form dopaminergic neurons for neural
transplantation for Parkinson disease
ndash (a) embryonic stem cells from a fertilized egg
ndash (b) neural stem cells from an embryonic brain
ndash (c) neural stem cells from an adult brain or
ndash (d) stem cells from other tissues
bull The crucial issue is whether the transplanted cells would
form functional dopaminergic neurons regardless of the
source of the stem cells

mesodermal and endodermal stem cells) will replicate
themselves as well as form downstream cell types
belonging to their respective germ layer lineages
bull They are thus equivalent in differentiation potential to the
cells comprising the ectodermal mesodermal and
endodermal germ layer lineages respectively

Teleomerase
bull Telomerase was discovered by Carol W Greider and Elizabeth
Blackburn in 1984 in the ciliate Tetrahymena[3] Together with Jack
W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation

cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather
when the stem cells commit to a particular progenitor

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated

markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

2) Stem cells are NOT committed to any specific cell
tissue type
3) Stem cells have unlimited proliferation potential
4) Stem cells maintain a biological ldquoclockrdquo of zero
until differentiation begins
1) Progenitor cells are NOT ldquoplasticrdquo ndash have a defined
differentiation potential
2) Progenitor cells ARE committed to a specific cell
tissue type
3) Progenitor cells have a limited life span ie
humans 50-70 population doublings before
senescence and death
4) Progenitor cellsrsquo Biological ldquoclockrdquo starts at birth

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

form functional dopaminergic neurons regardless of the
source of the stem cells

Blackburn in 1984 in the ciliate Tetrahymena[3] Together with Jack
W Szostak Greider and Blackburn were awarded the 2009 Nobel
Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery
bull Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) telomerase RNA (TR or
TERC)
bull TERT has a mitten structure that allows it to wrap around the
chromosome to add single-stranded telomere repeats
bull In normal circumstances without the presence of telomerase if a
cell divides recursively at some point all the progeny will reach their
Hayflick limit
bull With the presence of telomerase each dividing cell can replace the
lost bit of DNA and any single cell can then divide unbounded
Endogenous Stem Cells
The telomerase enzyme adds telomeres to the ends of the
chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation

cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than

somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

2) Stem cells are NOT committed to any specific cell
tissue type
3) Stem cells have unlimited proliferation potential
4) Stem cells maintain a biological ldquoclockrdquo of zero
until differentiation begins
1) Progenitor cells are NOT ldquoplasticrdquo ndash have a defined
differentiation potential
2) Progenitor cells ARE committed to a specific cell
tissue type
3) Progenitor cells have a limited life span ie
humans 50-70 population doublings before
senescence and death
4) Progenitor cellsrsquo Biological ldquoclockrdquo starts at birth

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Neuronal Repair
Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

transplantation for Parkinson disease
ndash (a) embryonic stem cells from a fertilized egg
ndash (b) neural stem cells from an embryonic brain
ndash (c) neural stem cells from an adult brain or

form functional dopaminergic neurons regardless of the
source of the stem cells

chromosomes protecting the chromosomes from
degradation due to increased mitotic divisions
Protection from chromosomal degradation gives these
postnatal stem cells the capability for extensive
proliferation

cells does not begin at birth of the individual but rather

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated

ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-

bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Progenitor
Cells
1) Stem cells ARE ldquoPlasticrdquo ndash can form any
downstream cell type (unidirectional only)
2) Stem cells are NOT committed to any specific cell
tissue type
3) Stem cells have unlimited proliferation potential
4) Stem cells maintain a biological ldquoclockrdquo of zero
until differentiation begins
1) Progenitor cells are NOT ldquoplasticrdquo ndash have a defined
differentiation potential
2) Progenitor cells ARE committed to a specific cell
tissue type
3) Progenitor cells have a limited life span ie
humans 50-70 population doublings before
senescence and death
4) Progenitor cellsrsquo Biological ldquoclockrdquo starts at birth

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Stem cells for PD
bull Lindvall proposed that four different cellular sources
could be used to form dopaminergic neurons for neural
transplantation for Parkinson disease
ndash (a) embryonic stem cells from a fertilized egg
ndash (b) neural stem cells from an embryonic brain
ndash (c) neural stem cells from an adult brain or
ndash (d) stem cells from other tissues
bull The crucial issue is whether the transplanted cells would
form functional dopaminergic neurons regardless of the
source of the stem cells

Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells
(MAPCs) bull Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs) were isolated from the
bone marrow muscle and brain of mice by Reyes M and colleagues
bull Originally these stem cells were designated as mesenchymal
because they appeared to resemble those described by Caplan
bull MAPCs were later demonstrated to form neurons (ectodermal
germ layer lineage) and hepatocytes (endodermal germ layer
lineage) Thus MAPCs can differentiate into cell types from all three
primary germ layer lineages
bull Thus MAPCs appear to be pluripotent stem cells rather than
mesenchymal stem cells as they were first designated
bull Along the stem cell developmental continuum from totipotent stem
cells (which grow in suspension culture to adherent culture) to
unipotent progenitor cells (which grow as adherent cultures)
MAPCs grow as adherent cultures
Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Very small three to five micron cells were originally isolated from
adult murine bone marrow (Sca1+Lin- CD45-) and human cord
blood (CD133+Lin-CD45-)
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such
as cell surface SSEA and nuclear Oct4 and Nanog transcription
factors
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio and
demonstrate a preponderance of euchromatin rather than
heterochromatin
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in
bull skeletal muscle
bull gonads
bull heart

Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size embryonic markers and
ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very
small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs)
bull Very low numbers of VSELs circulate throughout the
vasculature under steady-state conditions
bull Additional VSELs can be mobilized in patients during
myocardial infarction stroke acute burns active
inflammatory bowel disease and cancer and with the
use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal
muscle of newborn and adult
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental
markers such as cell surface SSEA (stage specific
embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2
CXCR4 Oct4 and telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display
a normal karyotype after population doublings well in excess Hayflickrsquos limit
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts

peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those

bull Lindvall proposed that four different cellular sources
could be used to form dopaminergic neurons for neural
transplantation for Parkinson disease
ndash (a) embryonic stem cells from a fertilized egg
ndash (b) neural stem cells from an embryonic brain
ndash (c) neural stem cells from an adult brain or
ndash (d) stem cells from other tissues
bull The crucial issue is whether the transplanted cells would
form functional dopaminergic neurons regardless of the
source of the stem cells

bull Because of their small size embryonic markers and
ability to form multiple primitive cell layers of the
conceptus these cells have been designated as very
small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs)

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2
CXCR4 Oct4 and telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display
a normal karyotype after population doublings well in excess Hayflickrsquos limit
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts

peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Six to eight micron cells (SSEA+ CD10+) and 02 to 20 micron cells (CEA-CAM-
1+ CD66e+) were originally isolated from mouse rat and human skeletal muscle of
newborn adolescent sexually mature and geriatric-aged individuals
bull These cells were detectable with early developmental markers such as cell surface
SSEA (stage specific embryonic antigen) and CEA-CAM-1 (carcinoembryonic
antigen-cell adhesion molecule-1) nuclear transcription factors Nanog Nanos Bcl-2
CXCR4 Oct4 and telomerase
bull These particular cells have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio These cells display
a normal karyotype after population doublings well in excess Hayflickrsquos limit
bull Cells with these same characteristics have been found in 37 different tissues and
organs thus far including blood bone marrow brain adipose tissue and skeletal
muscle
bull In the appropriate in vivo and in vitro model systems these cells have been shown
to differentiate and demonstrate phenotypic expression markers for 63 (6-8 microm cells)
and 66 (02-20 microm cells) distinct cell types including neurons glial cells
keratinocytes muscle fat cartilage bone connective tissues hematopoietic cells GI
epithelium liver cells pancreatic cells and spermatogonia
Adult Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Because of their small size presence of embryonic
markers and their ability to form cells from the three
primary germ layer lineages as well as spermatogonia
these cells were named according to parallel
structures found within the developing zygote ie
epiblast-like stem cells (PPSC 6-8 microm cells) and
blastomere-like stem cells (TPSC 02-20 microm cells)
bull Moderate numbers of these cells circulate throughout the
peripheral vasculature under steady state conditions
bull Additional PPSC and TPSC can be mobilized and
harvested following exercise severe trauma and after
ingestion of a nutraceutical
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Following an isolation and propagation protocol similar to
that used for the MAPCs a cell termed ldquounrestricted
somatic stem cell (USSC)rdquo was isolated from bone
marrow in 1-3 weeks but with only three cell passages
bull The cells showed the capability to form ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
bull Marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI)
cells were also derived in a manner similar to MAPCs
bull Their derivation is based on seeding densities at either
clonal or sparse dilutions
bull MIAMI cells demonstrated differentiation into ectodermal
mesodermal and endodermal phenotypes
Additional Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull Human bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells
(hBMSCs) have been reported
bull As the name implies these cells were isolated from
human bone marrow and selected from adherent
cultures
bull Differentiation studies showed that these cells form
phenotypes belonging to all three germ layer lineages
Fetal somatic stem cells (FSSCs) have been reported
bull The cells derived from fetal soma demonstrate a wide
range of differentiation potentials
Reprogrammed Pluripotent Stem Cells
bull The idea of cloning animals utilizing nuclear transfer was
first proposed by Spemann
bull The first demonstration that Spemannrsquos proposal was
even possible for cloning adult animals was shown by
Gurdon
bull Indeed the concept of reprogramming a patientrsquos
somatic cells into totipotent pluripotent stem cells was
conceived based on four independent breakthroughs in
the field of developmental embryology in the late 1900rsquos
ie somatic cell nuclear transfer in amphibians success
of cloning of sheep (Dolly) by somatic cell nuclear
transfer assisted reproductive technologies for live
human births (Mary Louise Brown) and derivation of
human embryonic stem cells
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Cells
1) Stem cells ARE ldquoPlasticrdquo ndash can form any
downstream cell type (unidirectional only)
2) Stem cells are NOT committed to any specific cell
tissue type
3) Stem cells have unlimited proliferation potential
4) Stem cells maintain a biological ldquoclockrdquo of zero
until differentiation begins
1) Progenitor cells are NOT ldquoplasticrdquo ndash have a defined
differentiation potential
2) Progenitor cells ARE committed to a specific cell
tissue type
3) Progenitor cells have a limited life span ie
humans 50-70 population doublings before
senescence and death
4) Progenitor cellsrsquo Biological ldquoclockrdquo starts at birth

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull The process of somatic cell nuclear transfer ie reprogramming of
somatic cell nuclei into a totipotent embryonic stem cell capable of
forming an organism was first proposed by Hans Spemann when he
referred to a ldquofantastical experimentrdquo in his book Embryonic
Development and Induction
bull However Spemannrsquos process was first demonstrated by Gurdon
bull He utilized the nuclei from the intestinal epithelial cells of Xenopus
laevistad poles and transferred the nuclei into the cytoplasm of
enucleated eggs to demonstrate the development of an adult frog
bull His work demonstrated that the ova contained maternal factors
within its cytoplasm with the inherent ability to reprogram gene
expression of a differentiated somatic cell nucleus and that that
nucleus had the capability of forming a new organism of the same
genetic makeup as the host organism
bull His experiment represented the first reported example of a somatic
cell being reprogrammed back to a totipotent state by an enucleated
egg and developing into a live viable offspring
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT)
bull Therapeutic cloning or SCNT begins with the same process used
to create Dolly
bull A diploid donor somatic cell from a body tissue such as a fibroblast
from skin is stripped of its plasma membrane and cytoplasm and
fused with an enucleated unfertilized ovum The cytoplasm within
the ovum reprograms the DNA within the diploid donor nucleus to an
embryonic state
bull The fused cell (modified blastomere) is allowed to rest for a defined
length of time and then induced to proliferate until it reaches the
early blastocyst stage composed of the inner cell mass and
trophoblast The inner cell mass cells are harvested and cultured to
create a stable cell line that is genetically matched to the donor
cells The cells are pluripotent in that they
i Have a capacity for unlimited cellular proliferation
ii Will form cells from all three primary germ layer lineages and
iii Will form teratomas These are the hallmarks of embryonic
pluripotent stem cells
Is it the wave
of the future
Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Induction of Specific Cell Types
Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Induced Pluripotent Stem
Cells (iPSCs) bull The most widely accepted method to generate induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is the retroviral vector
introduction of four genes (Oct4 Sox2 Klf4and c-Myc
aka the Yamanaka factors) into more differentiated
cell types such as fibroblasts
bull Following the initial landmark work for which Yamanaka
received the 2013 Nobel prize iPSCs have since been
generated from differentiated fetal and adult fibroblasts
hepatocytes stomach cells Keratinocytes cord blood
peripheral blood fully differentiated B- and T-
lymphocytes dental pulp cells and kidney cells

Cells
1) Stem cells ARE ldquoPlasticrdquo ndash can form any

2) Stem cells are NOT committed to any specific cell
tissue type
3) Stem cells have unlimited proliferation potential
4) Stem cells maintain a biological ldquoclockrdquo of zero
until differentiation begins
1) Progenitor cells are NOT ldquoplasticrdquo ndash have a defined
differentiation potential
2) Progenitor cells ARE committed to a specific cell
tissue type
3) Progenitor cells have a limited life span ie
humans 50-70 population doublings before
senescence and death

Induction of Specific Cell Types
Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Neuronal Repair
Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Induction of Specific Cell Types
Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Induction of Specific Cell Types
Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Neuronal Repair
Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Neuronal Repair
Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Study Rationale bull NucP2 stem cell isolation and deployment technology
bull NucP2 may offer significant advantage over techniques
currently being utilized in regenerative medicine practice
bull NucP2 may be able to overcome some of the significant
limitations in using these types of cellular interventions
bull Another limitation of utilizing autologous bone marrow
and adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell
preparations is that there are few multipotent stem cells
available within the cellular preparation
Study Rationale
bull The majority of the cells that we are currently using in
common orthopedic procedures today are
predominantly composed of progenitor cells which
are lineage committed and having limited capacity for
replication and plasticity
bull What is desired is a regenerative medicine technique
that can utilize autologous cells in order to remain
compliant with FDA regulation and also fall within the
guidelines of minimal manipulation also a requirement of
FDA regulation
Deployment technique experts
Physicians with a foundation in basic
regenerative medicine techniques
such as prolotherapy have an
advantage
Deployment techniques are highly
specialized skills
Physicians highly skilled interventional
pain technology may have better
outcomes

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

1) Individuals with COPD and having a FEV1 of greater than
50 showed benefit with ingestion of mobilizing agent only in
some instances increasing their FEV1 to greater than 85
2) However for those individuals with an FEV1 of less than
50 no increase in FEV1 was noted after long term
ingestion of mobilizing agent only
3) Individuals with FEV1s less than 50 noted improvement
ie increase in FEV1 after treatment with MA + autologous

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Neuronal Repair
Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

could be used to form dopaminergic neurons for neural
transplantation for Parkinson disease
ndash (a) embryonic stem cells from a fertilized egg
ndash (b) neural stem cells from an embryonic brain
ndash (c) neural stem cells from an adult brain or
ndash (d) stem cells from other tissues
bull The crucial issue is whether the transplanted cells would
form functional dopaminergic neurons regardless of the
source of the stem cells

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Neuronal Repair
Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Proinflammatory licensing of
MSCs
bull MSCs have been dubbed as smart immune modulators since their
suppressive effects require a previous licensing step that occurs in the
presence of an inflammatory environment and is mediated by the secretion
of specific cytokines (Jones et al 2007 Jorgensen 2010) Thus IFN-γ
alone or together with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α IL-1α or IL-1β are
required to trigger the expression by MSCs of high levels of soluble factors
involved in immunosuppression such as IDO HGF TGF-β and NO
(Aggarwal and Pittenger 2005 Ryan et al 2007 Krampera et al 2006
Ren et al 2008)
bull The need for this activation step has been confirmed in a model of GVHD
since recipients of IFNγ-- T cells did not respond to MSC treatment
evolving into fatal GVHD (Polchert et al 2008)
bull Others have attributed the immunomodulatory function of MSCs mainly to
IL-6-dependent secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Boufii et al 2010)

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus

corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Neuronal Repair
Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Neuronal Repair
Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

ndash (a) embryonic stem cells from a fertilized egg
ndash (b) neural stem cells from an embryonic brain
ndash (c) neural stem cells from an adult brain or
ndash (d) stem cells from other tissues

form functional dopaminergic neurons regardless of the
source of the stem cells

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of
Parkinson disease in humans

Domapinergic neurons
bull Dopaminergic neurons which have their
cell bodies located in the substantia nigra
pars compacta (SNpc)
Domapinergic neurons bull These neurons send axons to the caudate and putamen
(collectively known as the corpus striatum)
bull The progressive loss of these cells results in the gradual
decrease over time of striatal dopamine levels which in
turn produces a decrease in striatal output to the
thalamus
bull selective dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
into the corpus striatum middle forebrain bundle or
substantia nigra pars compacta
bull 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a selective dopamine
neurotoxin which is taken up by transporter proteins at
the nerve terminals within the corpus striatum and
transported in a retrograde manner to the cell bodies in
the substantia nigra29
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Bilateral 6-OHDA lesions of the adult rat brain
result in a partial progressive loss of
dopaminergic terminals within the corpus
striatum ipsilateral to the injection site and the
subsequent death of the dopaminergic neurons
projecting from the substantia nigra to the
corpus striatum25
Dopaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
bull Because of the similarities between the
neurochemical and neuropathological changes
elicited by the local injection of 6-OHDA to those
found in Parkinsonrsquos disease this particular
experimental animal model has often been used
to anticipate the relevance of a given treatment
in the clinical management of the symptoms of

Respiratory Diseases
1) Individuals with COPD and having a FEV1 of greater than
50 showed benefit with ingestion of mobilizing agent only in
some instances increasing their FEV1 to greater than 85
2) However for those individuals with an FEV1 of less than
50 no increase in FEV1 was noted after long term
ingestion of mobilizing agent only
3) Individuals with FEV1s less than 50 noted improvement
ie increase in FEV1 after treatment with MA + autologous

Musculoskeletal
1) Acceleration (2x) of the normal healing process occurred in an individual
with a torsion fracture of the fibula with ingestion of mobilizing agent only and
simple casting of the lower extremity
2) Individuals with rotator cuff injuries necessitating surgery demonstrated
healing of their rotator cuff injuries after long term ingestion of mobilizing
agent
3) Other individuals reported less painful osteoarthritic joints after long term
ingestion of mobilizing agent
Other Conditions
1) Type-I diabetic with brown recluse spider bite completely healed in 2 weeks with
MA + single autologous NP2 transplant
2) Individual with SLE Celiac disease and multiple allergies MA + multiple
autologous amp allogeneic NP2 transplants reverted from SLE-Type-IV to SLE-Type-

Respiratory Diseases
1) Individuals with COPD and having a FEV1 of greater than
50 showed benefit with ingestion of mobilizing agent only in
some instances increasing their FEV1 to greater than 85
2) However for those individuals with an FEV1 of less than
50 no increase in FEV1 was noted after long term
ingestion of mobilizing agent only
3) Individuals with FEV1s less than 50 noted improvement
ie increase in FEV1 after treatment with MA + autologous
NP2
Musculoskeletal
1) Acceleration (2x) of the normal healing process occurred in an individual
with a torsion fracture of the fibula with ingestion of mobilizing agent only and
simple casting of the lower extremity
2) Individuals with rotator cuff injuries necessitating surgery demonstrated
healing of their rotator cuff injuries after long term ingestion of mobilizing
agent
3) Other individuals reported less painful osteoarthritic joints after long term
ingestion of mobilizing agent
Other Conditions
1) Type-I diabetic with brown recluse spider bite completely healed in 2 weeks with
MA + single autologous NP2 transplant
2) Individual with SLE Celiac disease and multiple allergies MA + multiple
autologous amp allogeneic NP2 transplants reverted from SLE-Type-IV to SLE-Type-
II and lost allergies to gluten eggs fowl tree nuts
