Project description:To investigate loss-of-function of the C/EBP family members, we used A-CEBP which exerts a dominant-negative effect against all CEBPs. DOX-inducible overexpression of A-CEBP into mouse chondrocyte cell line ATDC5 increased expressions of early differentiation markers, decreased those of late differentiation markers. In addition, A-CEBP altered many genes related with skeletal development, cartilage, cell cycle, inflammation and apoptosis.

Project description:To investigate target molecules of HES1, we transduced GFP or HES1 into mouse chondrocyte cell line ATDC5, and performed the microarray analysis. HES1 overexpression increased inflammation-related genes including Il6 and Il1rl1. We established stable ATDC5 cells overexpressing GFP or HES1 by lentiviral transduction. We harvested mRNA from these cells, and performed microarray analysis.

Project description:Specific neuronal types derived from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can facilitate mechanistic studies and potentially aid in regenerative medicine. Existing induction methods, however, mostly rely on the effects of growth factors, which generally tend to result in mixed populations of neurons. Here we report that over-expression of specific transcription factors (TFs) in ESCs can rather guide the differentiation of ESCs towards specific neuron types. Analysis of published data on gene expression changes early (two days) after induction of each of 185 induced TFs implicated candidate TFs for further ESC differentiation studies. After induction for 6 days four of them (Ascl1, Smad7, Nr2f1, and Ascl2) generated a high proportion (>35%) of cells with neural progenitor marker PSA-NCAM and clear neural morphology on day 14. The capacity of these TFs to induce neural differentiation is inferred to be most likely linked to early activation of the Notch signaling pathway. Among the neuron-like cells, GABA-positive cells were most abundant (32-97% for 4 top TFs), whereas Isl1-positive cells and TH-positive cells were less abundant (<12% and <5%, respectively). Enrichment of cells obtained with the induction of Ascl1, Smad7, and Nr2f1 using beads with anti-PSA-NCAM antibody resulted in essentially pure population of neuron-like cells with expression profiles similar to neural tissues and highly expressed markers of GABAergic neurons. A time-course experiment with induction of Ascl1 showed early upregulation of most neural-specific and GABAergic-specific mRNA and miRNAs. We identified mRNA and miRNAs, whose expression depended on the induction of Ascl1, and showed that they were enriched in Ascl1 target genes. In summary, this study indicates that induction of transcription factors is a promising approach to generate candidate specific neural cell types from ESCs. Transcription factor Ascl1 was induced in mouse ESCs to facilitate neural differentiation. Expression of transgenic Ascl1 was repressed by doxycycline (Dox); thus, it were induced in Dox- conditions, whereas Dox+ conditions represent control cells with no expression of Ascl1 transgene. For neural differentiation, cells were cultured 3 days in alpha-MEM medium and then - in NeuroCult neural differentiation medium for 2-11 days (total up to 14 days). RNA was extracted with mirVana kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Project description:Functional-assay limitations are an emerging issue in characterizing human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). With rodent PSCs, chimera formation, using pre-implantation embryos, is the gold-standard assay of pluripotency. In hPSCs, this can only be monitored via teratoma formation or in vitro differentiation, as ethical concerns preclude generation of human-animal chimera. To circumvent this issue, we established a functional assay utilizing interspecific blastocyst injection and in vitro culture (interspecies in vitro chimera assay). The assay uses mouse pre-implantation embryos and human PSCs to make interspecies chimeras cultured in vitro to the early egg cylinder stage. When hiPSCs, both conventional and naive type, which called M-bM-^@M-^\reset cellM-bM-^@M-^], were injected into mouse embryos and cultured. The cells were never integrated into the epiblast of egg cylinder stage-embryo. These results suggest that hPSCs, including naM-CM-/ve type, are unable to form chimera with mouse embryo. Reset cells were converted from conventional human iPSC line PB004, and then compared their gene expression profile with or without transgene overexpression induced by doxycyclin treatment.

Project description:The effect of the GSK3 inhibitor Azakenpaullone (Azak) and the differentiation agent retinoic acid (RA) was studied in low and high MYCN levels in the MYCN inducible neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y/6TR(EU)/pTrex-Dest-30/MYCN (SY5Y-MYCN). Azak was dissolved in DMSO in order to apply it to the cells. Therefore a vehicle control consisting of SY5Y-MYCN cells treated with 24h 1 ul/ml DMSO only was used in duplicates. Doxycycline (Sigma) dissolved in water was used at a final concentration of 1ug/ml to induce MYCN expression in SY5Y-MYCN. A co-treatment study with Dox and Azak was conducted. SY5Y-MYCN cells were treated with 24h Azak, 24h Azak & 48h Dox and 48h Dox, with biological duplicates. 1 uM RA (dissolved in DMSO) and 1 ug/mL Doxycycline were given individually and in combination. SY5Y-MYCN cells were treated with 24h RA, 24h RA & 48h Dox, and 48h Dox and RNA was extracted in biological duplicates. For the 24h RA & 48h Dox co-treatment cells were treated with Dox for 24h and then with RA and fresh Dox for a further 24h.

Expression of transgenic TFs was repressed by doxycycline (Dox); thus, TFs were induced in Dox- conditions, whereas Dox+ conditions represent control cells with no expression of a transgene. For neural differentiation, cells were cultured 3 days in alpha-MEM medium and then in NeuroCult neural differentiation medium. Cells marked as PSANCAM+ were enriched by magnetic microbeads with anty-PSA-NCAM antibody (Miltenyi Biotec) on day 6 of culturing, whereas remaining cells are marked as PSANCAM-. Both PSANCAM+ and PSANCAM- cells were then cultured for another 8 days (total 14 days in differentiation). A time course experiment with Ascl1 induction did not include cell enrichment procedure. RNA was extracted with either Trizol (invitrogen) or mirVana kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are known to be involved in progression, angiogenesis and motility of various cancers. We have previously reported the association between increased number of infiltrating TAMs with tumor progression and poor prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCs). To study roles of TAMs in ESCC, we first exposed peripheral blood monocytes (PBMo) derived macrophages from healthy volunteers to conditioned media of TE series human ESCC cell line (TECM) and confirmed the induction of expression of M2 macrophage marker, CD204, and protumorigenic factors, interleukin (IL)-10, VEGFA and MMPs. Next, we compared gene expression profile between PBMo-derived macrophages and PBMo-derived macrophages stimulated with TECM by cDNA microarray. Based on the result, we focused on growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) among highly expressed genes including IL-6, IL-8 and CXCL1. Immunohistochemical study on 70 cases of surgically resected ESCCs revealed that GDF15 was detected not only in macrophages but also in cancer cells. High expression of GDF15 in ESCCs was significantly correlated with more malignant phenotypes including lymph and blood vessel invasion, lymph node metastasis as well as clinical stages. Patients with high expression of GDF15 showed poor disease-free survival (p = 0.011) and overall survival (p = 0.041). Furthermore, we found that recombinant human GDF15 promote cell proliferation and phosphorylation of both Akt and Erk1/2 in ESCC cell lines in vitro. These results indicate that GDF15 is secreted by both TAMs and cancer cells in tumor microenvironment and is associated with aberrant growth and poor prognosis of human ESCC. We exposed PBMo-derived macrophages from healthy volunteers to TECM and observed their acquisition of TAM-like characters in this study. We further investigated specific cancer-associated gene expression profile in TECM induced TAM-like macrophages by cDNA microarray analysis.

Project description:In order to understand the molecular mechanisms of changes seen in the adult mouse intestine in response to Sox2 overexpression, gene expression was analyzed in the ileum upon 2-day Doxycycline (DOX) treatment of mice containing Dox-inducible Sox2 transgene. Repression of Cdx2 and of its intestinal targets was observed and confirmed by Western blotting and immunostaining. This effect of Sox2 was distinct from the effect of overexpression of Oct4. 6-8 week old TetON-Sox2, rtTA controls (no TetOP-Sox2 transgene), TetON-Oct4, and TetON-Sox2 X TetON-Oct4 mice (2 replicates) were treated for 2 days with 2 mg/ml DOX or were left untreated. Intestines (ileum part) were collected and total mRNA was extracted.
