Recent empirical work has demonstrated the importance of a number of elements of scientific infrastructure that seem to be crucial particularly in fields such as molecular and cellular biology in which the materiality of research renders the process of replication and validation more complex. Scientific infrastructure has many interconnecting elements such as the ability to exchange material used in experiments, the ability to share ideas and information and the ability to share, exchange and promote the mobility of researchers. We focus our investigation on stem cell research in the United States (US). Research in human developmental biology has led to the discovery of human stem cells. The science of stem cell therapies is about to enter a phase of research and development that could lead to unprecedented cures and palliative treatments. However, it is a highly regulated field of research and it raises an important amount of moral, religious and ethical concerns. We seek to examine the boundaries that have emerged in the US in this particular field and we try to understand their impact on the US market of fertilized eggs, embryos and human embryonic stem cells.

Testo completoShould surplus embryos which are destined to be discarded be protected at all cost, to the extent that they cannot contribute to medical knowledge - knowledge which could benefit society at large? Are embryos people or merely items of property? Different moral theories address these questions in different ways. Deontologists argue that the end never justifies the means and that the right not to be killed is more fundamental than the obligation to save. Utilitarians, on the other hand, argue that certain criteria should be met before moral significance can be contributed to an entity. The question of the moral status of the embryo is, as my discussion will show, one of the most widely discussed issues in the history of bioethics. Extensive literature exists on the topic. This study holds that an Ethics of Responsibility (ER) should by applied when answering the questions posed above as it encourages one to accept responsibility for the choices or decisions made and to defend them accordingly. I have endeavoured to answer the question of the personhood and rights of the embryo within the framework of the Ethics of Responsibility. Although these concepts overlap in many ways they remain central to the debate surrounding the sanctioning or prevention of the use of human embryonic stem cells in research. After identifying the micro-issues surrounding the human embryonic stem cell debate and explaining why both the deontologist and utilitarians fail to provide any adequate answers in this respect, I turn my attention to macro-issues such as safety concerns surrounding the usages and storage of stem cells. Commercialization, power issues, accessibility and the allocation of limited resources are also examined. Living in a society such as South Africa one cannot be blind to the inequalities of our health system. On a macro level I cannot but conclude that stem cell research does not seem to be a viable exercise within the South African context. South Africa faces a health care crisis far greater than the benefits stem cell research currently has to offer. However, the need still exists for a policy to guide future lawmakers who might need to address stem cell research and to guide decisions and actions. This brings me to my final chapter, namely proposing a morally justified policy for South Africa. I propose a policy which respects and values the autonomy of the progenitors’ choices (provided they have not been coerced) and which focuses on the beneficence of the greater society. Furthermore, it is paramount that the goal of any stem cell research should be for therapeutic use ONLY. Before commencing with the extraction of the stem cells, scientists should be obligated first to present convincing evidence that they have tried alternative ways to reach the same result. Once this has been proven, a regulatory body could issue the scientist/team with a license to undertake the specific research with a specific therapy as goal in order to prevent abuse. If they are found guilty of any unethical conduct their licenses should be revoked and an investigation launched.

Testo completoÉs probable que l’adquisició de complexitat tant en els òrgans, com en les funcions cel•lulars al llarg de l’evolució hagi portat a la disminució de les capacitats d’autocuració del cor de mamífers adults. Per tal de generar noves plataformes per la generació de cèl•lules cardíaques funcionals, en el treball exposat a continuació, hem explorat la possibilitat de manipular tant el destí com la plasticitat cel•lular fent servir diferents tecnologies. En primer lloc, aprofitant la reprogramació somàtica, hem generat cèl•lules mare pluripotents induïdes (iPSCs) a partir de cèl•lules mare mesenquimals derivades de sang de cordó umbilical (ucMSCs), una font fàcilment accessible de cèl•lules mare en l’entorn clínic. De manera senzilla, hem aconseguit convertir ucMSCs en iPSCs amb quatre (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 i c-MYC) o amb tan sols dos factors de transcripció (OCT4 i SOX2). En segon lloc, mitjançant una estratègia de conversió cel•lular, hem aconseguit produir cèl•lules que expressen marcadors relacionats amb teixit cardíac a nivell proteic a partir de fibroblasts dèrmics post-natals d’origen humà. El nostre protocol indueix en una primera fase la de-diferenciació dels fibroblasts mitjançant la sobre expressió primer dels factors de pluripotència OCT4 i SOX2, i després del factor de transcripció específic per mesoderm cardíac GATA4. Finalment, amb l’objectiu de definir noves condicions per la generació de cèl•lules cardíaques a partir de cèl•lules mare pluripotents o cèl•lules somàtiques hem enginyat una línia cel•lular reportera pel gen cardíac que codifica per la cadena pesant de la miosina (alpha myosin heavy chain o MYH6) mitjançant les tècniques d’edició gènica TALEN i CRISPR/CAS9. D’aquesta manera hem estat capaços d’explorar diferents condicions de cultiu per promoure la diferenciació cardíaca a partir de cèl•lules mare pluripotents d’origen embrionari. El treball aquí exposat, mostra diferents estratègies dissenyades amb la intenció de generar cèl•lules cardíaques amb un cert impacte en la futura Medicina Regenerativa.

The study of cardiac regeneration can have many forms in which it is defined. It can not only be the ability to add new myocardium to dead or dying tissues, but also include the prevention of cardiac tissue degeneration, reversal of tissue remodeling, and the maintenance of systolic and diastolic function in the incidence of tissue damage, which can lead to subsequent heart failure progression. The use of stem cells for cardiac regeneration represents a growing field of new therapies for patients with end stage cardiac disease. Various studies have noted promising results in the recovery and reparation of these tissues. Cumulatively, their goals have become the identification of the most suitable cell type, as well as how to maximize functional efficiency and cost effectiveness for practical application. Many protocols simply do not ensure adequate cell engraftment, viability, and ultimately the return of normal tissue function. Investigators seek to determine how these processes can be enhanced or manipulated to promote cardiac regeneration in hopes of eventually making their clinical use a standard practice.

Testo completoMoral questions arising from advances in science and technology are proliferating exponentially. Much controversy surrounds the ways in which biotechnology is used to eradicate a vast range of diseases and injuries. Stem cell research is one such way. Throughout the world stem cell research has been met with varying responses that range from opposition and criticism to approval and advocacy. As a result, it has attracted significant attention from the news media. The media have been accused of bias by focusing only on the controversial aspects of the research as opposed to reporting fully and fairly on the remarkable scientific advances. In this study I look at the patterns of media attention paid to stem cell research in the international weekly magazine Time between November 1998 and September 2005 inclusive. Contrary to the results expected on the basis of my literature study which pointed out the notion that the media tend to focus on sensational news more than non-controversial issues, I found that Time did a fair job in reporting on the scientific aspects of stem cell research. The percentage content of articles by year, focusing on scientific information of stem cells, dominated other news frames. The two years following the 2000 and 2004 American presidential elections, are however marked by the dominance of policy frames. This study found that Time covered controversial issues like embryonic stem cell research, public funding debates and political policy development in direct relation to their rise and fall on the political agenda in the United States.

Testo completoDisease modelling is an essential tool for the understanding of human disease. Currently, much of the information we have on human diseases is based on animal models. However, animal models differ molecularly and phenotypically from humans, and are not always suitable to reproduce with fidelity human diseases. In the past decades, human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) have emerged as an interesting option in the field of cellular modelling, this development recently having taken up much momentum. In this work, we aimed at characterizing hPSC as models for the study of Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and Huntington’s disease (HD) trinucleotide repeat (TNR) instability and to investigate the status of the X-chromosome inactivation with an eye on using these cells as models for early human development. In the first part of our work, we observed a significant TNR instability for the DM1 locus in hESC, and that differentiation resulted in a stabilization of the repeat. This stabilization was concommitant with a downregulation of the mismatch repair (MMR). Our results were later replicated in hiPSC by other researchers, showing their reproducibility and suggesting they may be extrapolated to other hPSC lines worldwide. Regarding the HD repeat, we found it was very stable in all conditions studied, both in undifferentiated hESC and cells differentiated into osteogenic progenitor-like cells, teratoma cells and neural progenitors. This is in line with other studies showing that hESC show very limited TNR in the HD locus. On the other hand, some groups have now reported some instability of this locus in cells differentiated into the neuronal lineage. The instability seen in neuronal lineage in later studies, not in our study, is probably explained by the use of hPSC derived neurons more similar to the cells showing in vivo instability than the ones we were able to generate at the time of the study. In the second part of the thesis we studied the X-chromosome inactivation in 23 female hPSC lines. We found that hPSC rapidly progress from a XIST-dependent XCI state to a culture-adapted, XIST-independent XCI state with loss of repressive histone modifications and erosion of methylation. We also report a remarkably high incidence of non-random XCI patterns, and that this skewing of the methylation patterns is independent from the transition to the XIST-independent XCI state, the origin of the X chromosome or chromosomal aberrations. These results suggest that XCI skewing is possibly driven by the activation or repression of a specific allele on the X chromosome, conferring a growth or survival advantage to the cells. Overall, hPSC appear to be a good in vitro model for the study of both DM1 and HD TNR instability, as the repeat follows in vitro the same patterns as found in vivo, including its dependency of the MMR machinery, particularly in the case of DM1. However, our results on the study of the X chromosome inactivation (XCI) state suggest caution when using hPSC as early human developmental research models. The eroded state of XCI found in many of the hPSC lines, and the frequency of skewed XCI patterns suggests that these cells are not a good proxy to early embryonic cells, at least what XCI is concerned. Conversely, they may still provide an interesting model to study gene function and mechanisms implicated.
