    Abstract We have demonstrated that SAMHD1 (sterile alpha motif and histidine-aspartic domain HD-containing protein 1) is a restriction factor for the HPV16 life cycle. Here we demonstrate that in HPV negative cervical cancer C33a cells and human foreskin keratinocytes immortalized by HPV16 (HFK+HPV16), SAMHD1 is recruited to E1-E2 replicating DNA. Homologous recombination (HR) factors are required for HPV16 replication and viral replication promotes phosphorylation of SAMHD1, which converts it from a dNTPase to an HR factor independent from E6/E7 expression. A SAMHD1 phosphor-mimic (SAMHD1 T592D) reduces E1-E2 mediated DNA replication in C33a cells and has enhanced recruitment to the replicating DNA. In HFK+HPV16 cells SAMHD1 T592D is recruited to the viral DNA and attenuates cellular growth, but does not attenuate growth in isogenic HFK cells immortalized by E6/E7 alone. SAMHD1 T592D also attenuates the development of viral replication foci following keratinocyte differentiation. The results indicated that enhanced SAMHD1 phosphorylation could be therapeutically beneficial in cells with HPV16 replicating genomes. Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) can dephosphorylate SAMHD1 and PP2A function can be inhibited by endothall. We demonstrate that endothall reduces E1-E2 replication and promotes SAMHD1 recruitment to E1-E2 replicating DNA, mimicking the SAMHD1 T592D phenotypes. Finally, we demonstrate that in head and neck cancer cell lines with HPV16 episomal genomes endothall attenuates their growth and promotes recruitment of SAMHD1 to the viral genome. The results suggest that targeting cellular phosphatases has therapeutic potential for the treatment of HPV infections and cancers.
    Importance: Human papillomaviruses are causative agents in around 5% of all human cancers. The development of anti-viral therapeutics depends upon an increased understanding of the viral life cycle. Here we demonstrate that HPV16 replication converts SAMHD1 into an HR factor via phosphorylation. This phosphorylation promotes recruitment of SAMHD1 to viral DNA to assist with replication. A SAMHD1 mutant that mimics phosphorylation is hyper-recruited to viral DNA and attenuates viral replication. Expression of this mutant in HPV16 immortalized cells attenuates the growth of these cells, but not cells immortalized by the viral oncogenes E6/E7 alone. Finally, we demonstrate that the phosphatase inhibitor endothall promotes hyper-recruitment of endogenous SAMHD1 to HPV16 replicating DNA and can attenuate the growth of both HPV16 immortalized human foreskin keratinocytes and HPV16 positive head and neck cancer cell lines. We propose that phosphatase inhibitors represent a novel tool for combating HPV infections and disease.

    Abstract Human embryonic stem (ES) cells provide a unique model and an important resource to analyze early hematopoietic development. Other systems to study mammalian hematopoiesis include mouse ES cells, dissection of timed mouse embryos, or use of human postnatal hematopoietic tissue typically isolated from bone marrow or umbilical cord blood. All these models have particular strengths and weaknesses. The extensive studies on murine hematopoiesis provide a basis for work on the human developmental system. Since there are likely some important species differences, use of human ES cells now provides an optimal means to evaluate basic cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate the beginning stages of human blood development, prior to derivation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Eventually, research on human ES cells may provide an alternative source of HSCs and other blood products for hematopoietic cell transplantation or other cellular therapies.

    Abstract Methods for the rapid identification of defined cell growth conditions are lacking. This deficiency is a major barrier to the investigation and application of human embryonic stem (ES) cells. To address this problem, we developed a method for generating arrays of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in which each element constitutes a defined surface. By screening surface arrays, we identified peptidic surfaces that support ES cell growth and self-renewal. The ability of the active surface array elements to support ES cell growth depends on their composition: both the density of the peptide presented and its sequence are critical. These findings support a role for specific surface-cell interactions. Moreover, the data from the surface arrays are portable. They can be used to design an effective 3D synthetic scaffold that supports the growth of undifferentiated human ES cells. Our results demonstrate that synthetic substrates for promoting and probing human ES cell self-renewal can be discovered through SAM surface arrays.

    Abstract A new method for the fabrication of arrays of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkane thiols (ATs) on gold to combinatorially assay surfaces for cell adhesion is reported. A fluorous SAM, which is both cytophobic and solvophobic, was used as the background between the array features. The resulting solvophobic background permits the application of an assembly after conjugation strategy for fabrication. SAMs containing mixtures of ATs and peptide-terminated ATs were generated. Multiple cell types demonstrated differential and specific binding to these surfaces. Additionally, pluripotent human embryonic stem cells proliferated on surfaces generated by this method.

    Abstract We have used rhesus monkey embryonic stem (ES) cells to study endothelial cell development. Rhesus ES cells (R366.4 cell line) exposed to medium containing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF) assumed a relatively uniform endothelial cell morphology and could be propagated and expanded with a consistent phenotype and normal karyotype. When placed in Matrigel, these rhesus ES cell-derived endothelial cells (RESDECs) formed capillary-like structures characteristic of endothelial cells. Immunohistochemical and flow cytometric analysis of RESDECs showed that they take up acetylated low-density lipoprotein (LDL), express CD146, von Willebrand factor, and the integrin alpha v beta 3, and bind the lectin ulex europaeus agglutinin-1. These cells also express the VEGF receptor Flk-1 and secrete VEGF. When introduced in a Matrigel plug implanted subcutaneously in mice, RESDECs formed intact vessels and recruited new endothelial cell growth. In vivo function was demonstrated by coinjection of RESDECs with murine tumor cells subcutaneously into immunocompromised adult mice. RESDECs injected alone did not form measurable tumors. Tumor cells grew more rapidly and had increased vascularization when coinjected with the RESDECs. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that the RESDECs participated in forming the tumor neovasculature. RESDECs provide a novel means to examine the mechanisms of endothelial cell development, and may open up new therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract Objective: Human embryonic stem (ES) cells provide a unique model for studying the development and function of human tissues and have proven utility in a number of areas. However, results from ES cell-based studies have been limited by the paucity of information available about early human hematopoietic development.
    Methods: To better understand early development of the hematopoietic lineage, we use microarray analysis to examine the temporal patterns of gene expression in embryoid bodies derived from human ES cells, focusing around the time of the emergence of definitive hematopoiesis. We use an empirical Bayes hierarchical modeling approach, called EBarrays, to classify genes into each of the possible temporal patterns of gene expression for five different time points, and correlate those patterns with the emergence of hematopoiesis.
    Results: We find a distinct group of genes previously identified as important in adult hematopoietic self-renewal (such as PIK3R1, ABCB1/MDR-1, RGS18, IRS1, SENP6/SUMO-1, and Wnt5A, etc.) temporally correlates with the emergence of the definitive hematopoiesis. Microarray-based results are further supported via flow cytometry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction studies.
    Conclusion: The novel genes demonstrating the same expression pattern as this group could further facilitate the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of embryonic hematopoiesis.

    Abstract The human/sheep xenograft model has proven valuable in assessing the in vivo hematopoietic activity of stem cells from a variety of fetal and postnatal human sources. CD34+/lineage- or CD34+/CD38- cells isolated from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) differentiated on S17 feeder layer were transplanted by intraperitoneal injections into fetal sheep. Chimerism in primary transplants was established with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and flow cytometry of bone marrow and peripheral blood samples. Whole bone marrow cells harvested from a primary recipient were transplanted into a secondary recipient. Chimerism was established as described before. This animal was stimulated with human GM-CSF, and an increase in human hematopoietic activity was noted by flow cytometry. Bone marrow aspirations cultured in methylcellulose generated colonies identified by PCR to be of human origin. We therefore conclude that hESCs are capable of generating hematopoietic cells that engraft primary recipients. These cells also fulfill the criteria for long-term engrafting hematopoietic stem cells as demonstrated by engraftment and differentiation in the secondary recipient.
