Sorting live stem cells based on sox2 mRNA expression.

While cell sorting usually relies on cell-surface protein markers, molecular beacons (MBs) offer the potential to sort cells based on the presence of any expressed mRNA and in principle could be extremely useful to sort rare cell populations from primary isolates. We show here how stem cells can be purified from mixed cell populations by sorting based on MBs. Specifically, we designed molecular beacons targeting Sox2, a well-known stem cell marker for murine embryonic (mES) and neural stem cells (NSC). One of our designed molecular beacons displayed an increase in fluorescence compared to a nonspecific molecular beacon both in vitro and in vivo when tested in mES and NSCs. We sorted Sox2-MB(+)SSEA1(+) cells from a mixed population of 4-day retinoic acid-treated mES cells and effectively isolated live undifferentiated stem cells. Additionally, Sox2-MB(+) cells isolated from primary mouse brains were sorted and generated neurospheres with higher efficiency than Sox2-MB(-) cells. These results demonstrate the utility of MBs for stem cell sorting in an mRNA-specific manner.

Allergies alimentaires rares [Rare food allergies]

A limited number of foods explain the majority of food allergies. These allergies can be due to a weak allergenicity (garlic, onion, potato), or a weak (or increasing) exposure to emergent food allergens which can be imported (exotic fruits), or recently introduced (lupin, buckwheat, sesame, inulin) or modified by the industry (lysats, lecithins, traces of antibiotics, caseinates, molds, dust mite). Others are in relation with rarer cross-reactivity food allergy syndrome (Apiaceae-Compositae-mugwort syndrome, egg-bird syndrome, cat epithelium-pork meat syndrome). Others are rarely identified, because the food is masked (pepper, basilic). We illustrate rare cases of food allergy and discuss the diagnostic management which is based on a meticulous patient history. Un nombre restreint d'aliments explique la majorité des allergies alimentaires. Les allergies alimentaires rares sont dues à une faible allergénicité (ail, oignon, pomme de terre) ou à une exposition faible ou croissante à des aliments émergents, importés (fruits exotiques), introduits (lupin, sarrasin, sésame, inuline), ou modifiés par l'industrie (lysats, lécithines, traces d'antibiotiques, caséinates, moisissures, acariens). D'autres sont en relation avec des croisements d'allergènes rares (syndrome croisé ombellifères-composées-armoise, syndrome oeuf-oiseau, syndrome épithélium de chat-viande de porc). D'autres enfin sont rarement identifiées, car l'allergène est masqué (poivre, basilic). Nous décrivons des cas rares illustratifs et rappelons la démarche diagnostique qui s'appuie sur une anamnèse minutieuse.
