Detection of Mouse Nestin by Western Blot Cardiolipin is externalized to the mitochondrial surface in alpha -syn mutant hNs and transgenic mice in response to alpha -syn accumulation. a Western analysis of lysates from corrected and A53T cells at DIV 14 and DIV 60 labeled for total alpha -syn, PS129, TH (DA neuronal marker), nestin (NPC marker) or GAPDH show that levels of PS129-modified alpha -syn are elevated in A53T hNs at DIV 14 and remain elevated at DIV 60 relative to corrected cells. b, c Mitochondria were purified from A53T cells and genetically corrected cells at both DIV 14 and DIV 60. Lysates were then separated based on TX-100 solubility (soluble) or urea solubility (insoluble). Western analysis of A53T cells shows elevated soluble alpha -syn at the mitochondria relative to corrected cells at DIV 14 and DIV 60 (denoted by ** and * respectively). Quantification of soluble and insoluble alpha -syn levels in mitochondrial fractions normalized to Coomassie (c). Data represent mean ± s.e.m. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 by ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test, n = 4. d, e Micrographs of corrected and A53T-mutant NPCs expressing the negative charge probe RPRE-RFP and CL-GFP show RPRE-RFP translocation from a primarily plasma membrane localization in isogenic-corrected hNs to a punctate intracellular localization in A53T hNs in tight cellular localization with CL-GFP (d). Quantification of percent total cell number with colocalized RPRE-RFP and CL-GFP (e). Data represent mean ± s.e.m. **P < 0.0001 by t-test, n = 3 coverslips over 2 independent differentiations, DIV: 14; scale bar: 10 μm. f, g Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from CL-GFP to RPRE-RFP in hiPSC-derived A53T and corrected hNs or hESC-derived WT, A53T and E46K hNs was assessed (f) and mean FRET intensity was quantified (g). Data represent mean ± s.e.m. **P < 0.01 by ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test, for hiPSCs, n = 6, for hESCs, n = 8 coverslips over two independent differentiations, DIV: 14. Scale bar: 10 µm. h Mitochondria were isolated from the SNpc of 6-month-old WT and A53T transgenic animals and labeled with Annexin V to measure the abundance of cardiolipin on the mitochondrial surface. Controls were rotenone-exposed WT samples. Animals were not randomized, nor was the analysis blinded. Data represent mean ± s.e.m. **P < 0.01 by ANOVA followed by Dunnett post hoc test, n = 4.

Error bars indicate SEM. (B) U251 derived orthotopic brain tumors from vehicle (CTRL), TMZ or TMZ/metformin (Combo) treated mice were analyzed for Ki67, Nestin and CD133 markers by immunohistochemistry.

In T98G xenograft model already at 7 days, the combined treatment significantly slowed down tumor growth compared to control (p value = 0.005), moreover a transient reduction was observed with MET (p value = 0.03). After 3 weeks, only Combo-treated mice displayed tumor smaller than vehicle (p value = 0.04). Error bars indicate SEM.

Background: Nestin
Nestin is a class VI intermediate filament protein (1, 2) that is expressed in stem cells of the central nervous system (CNS) (3) but not in mature CNS cells (4). Nestin expression is used extensively as a marker for CNS stem cells in the developing nervous system and in vitro cultured cells (5-10). Its transient expression is a critical step in the neural differentiation pathway (2). Nestin is also expressed in non-neural stem cell populations, such as pancreatic islet progenitors (11-13) and hematopoietic progenitors (14).
