Project description:The role of Tfr1 in non-erythroid tissues remains elusive due to the embryonic lethality of the Tfr1 global knockout mouse model. To bypass this problem, we generated a mouse model in which Tfr1 was conditionally deleted in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). These mice developed severe IEC disruption, characterized by blunted villi, edema, loss of proliferative intervillus IECs, accumulation of lipids, and early neonatal lethality. Strikingly, a wide range of genes associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition were highly upregulated in IEC lacking Tfr1. Additionally, candidate vesicular transport and sorting genes implicated in lipid absorption and trafficking were downregulated. Surprisingly, the presence of a mutant allele of Tfr1, which is unable to bind to iron-loaded transferrin, was capable of rescuing the lethality, intestinal epithelial homeostasis, and proliferation in a majority of the Tfr1 conditional knockout mice. 9 samples (3 wildtype, 3 knockout, 3 rescue) were prepared from the intestinal epithelial cells isolated from the small intestine and proximal colon.

Project description:Transient over-expression of defined combinations of master regulator genes can effectively induce cellular reprogramming: the acquisition of an alternative predicted phenotype from a differentiated cell lineage. This can be of particular importance in cardiac regenerative medicine wherein the heart lacks the capacity to heal itself, but simultaneously contains a large pool of fibroblasts. In this study we determined the cardio-inducing capacity of ten transcription factors to actuate cellular reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts into cardiomyocyte-like cells. Over-expression of transcription factors MYOCD and SRF alone or in conjunction with Mesp1 and SMARCD3 significantly enhanced the basal but necessary cardio-inducing effect of the previously reported GATA4, TBX5, and MEF2C. In particular, combinations of five or seven transcription factors significantly enhanced the activation of cardiac reporter vectors, and induced an upregulation of cardiac-specific genes. Global gene expression analysis also demonstrated a significantly greater cardio-inducing effect when the transcription factors MYOCD and SRF were used. Detection of cross-striated cells was highly dependent on the cell culture conditions and was enhanced by the addition of valproic acid and JAK inhibitor. Although we detected Ca2+ transient oscillations in the reprogrammed cells, we did not detect significant changes in resting membrane potential or spontaneously contracting cells. This study further elucidates the cardio-inducing effect of the transcriptional networks involved in cardiac cellular reprogramming, contributing to the ongoing rational design of a robust protocol required for cardiac regenerative therapies. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts were transduced lentiviruses allowing the inducible overexpression of three unique sets of transcription factors and negative control.

Project description:Disruption of local iron homeostasis is a common feature of neurodegenerative diseases. We focused on dopaminergic neurons, asking how iron transport proteins modulate iron homeostasis in vivo. Inactivation of the transmembrane iron exporter ferroportin had no apparent consequences. However, loss of the transferrin receptor 1, involved in iron uptake, caused profound, age-progressive neurodegeneration with features similar to Parkinson’s disease. There was gradual loss of dopaminergic projections in the striatum with subsequent death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. After depletion of 30% of the neurons the mice developed neurobehavioral parkinsonism, with evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired mitochondrial autophagy. Molecular analysis revealed strong signatures indicative of attempted axonal regeneration, a metabolic switch to glycolysis and the unfolded protein response. We speculate that cellular iron deficiency may contribute to neurodegeneration in human patients Using Ribotag technology, from mouse ventral midbrain lysates, we isolated actively translated mRNA species from control and Transferrin receptor 1-null dopaminergic neurons. Two mouse ages were used 3 wks (early neurodegeration) 10 wks (late neurodegeneration)

Project description:DUOC-01 is a macrophage-like cell therapy product manufactured from human umbilical cord blood (CB) mononuclear cells (MNCs) and intended for use in treatment of demyelinating diseases. During the 21-day manufacturing process, most initiating MNCs die in culture, but a highly active, adherent population of cells that resemble hematopoietic lineage macrophage in morphology, phagocytic activity, and antigen expression emerges; this population comprises the final DUOC-01 product [Kurtzberg et al. 2015]. Using the cuprizone-mediated murine demyelination model, we have found that DUOC-01 cells are capable of accelerating the remyelination process. In the same demyelination model, human cord blood-derived CD14+ cells (CBCD14) were less active. In another cellular therapy project, we have found that CBCD14 protects brain cells from oxygen-glucose-deprivation (OGD), but adult peripheral blood-derived CD14+ monocytes (PBCD14) did not. To address the functional differences between these cell types, we have analyzed differential gene expression by these three cell types. We used four cord blood (CB) samples (from Carolinas Cord Blood Bank) that were collected within 24hrs of delivery. Then, highly purified CB CD14+ monocytes were isolated by flow sorting. We collected the peripheral blood (PB) from four healthy volunteers and isolated the purified PB CD14+ monocytes by cell sorting. Three separate batches of cultured DUOC-01 cells were collected from Robertson Cell and Translational Cell Therapy cGMP facility. Total RNAs were isolated at the same time and kept frozen. RNA samples were given to Duke Microarray core facility to analyse the gene expression profile using Affymetrix GeneChip® Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Assay.

Project description:Precise study of HSCs during regeneration has been impeded by the rarity of the HSC population and depletion of phenotypic HSCs early following genotoxic stresses, such as total body irradiation (TBI). We isolated bone marrow (BM) ckit+sca-1+lin- (KSL) cells, which are enriched for HSCs, from adult C57Bl6 mice before and at several time points following TBI, as a means to map the dynamic molecular response of HSC regeneration. We isolated BM KSL cells and myeloid progenitor cells (c-kit+sca-1-lin- cells) at day +14 after irradiation and compared the gene expression profile of regenerating HSCs versus steady state HSCs (non-irradiated) and committed progenitor cells.

Project description:Alpha-synuclein is an abundant protein implicated in synaptic function and plasticity, but the molecular mechanism of its action is not understood. Missense mutations and gene duplication/triplication events result in Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder of old age with impaired movement and emotion control. Here, we systematically investigated the striatal as well as the cerebellar transcriptome profile of alpha-synuclein-deficient mice via a genome-wide microarray survey in order to gain hypothesis-free molecular insights into the physiological function of alpha-synuclein. A genotype-dependent, specific and strong downregulation of forkhead box P1 (Foxp1) transcript levels was observed in all brain regions from postnatal age until old age and could be validated by qPCR. In view of the co-localization and heterodimer formation of FOXP1 with FOXP2, a transcription factor with a well established role for vocalization, and the reported regulation of both alpha-synuclein and FOXP2 expression during avian song learning, we performed a detailed assessment of mouse movements and vocalizations in the postnatal period. While there was no difference in isolation-induced behavioral activity in these animals, the alpha-synuclein-deficient mice exhibited an increased production of isolation-induced ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs). This phenotype might also reflect the reduced expression of the anxiety-related GABA-A receptor subunit gamma 2 (Gabrg2) we observed. Taken together, we identified an early behavioral consequence of alpha-synuclein deficiency and accompanying molecular changes, which supports the notion that the neural connectivity of sound or emotion control systems is affected.

Project description:H-ferritin (HFn) nanocarrier is emerging as a promising theranostic platform for tumor diagnosis and therapy, which can specifically target tumor cells via binding transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1). This led us to investigate the therapeutic function of TfR1 in GC. The clinical significance ofTfR1 was assessed in 178 GC tissues using a magneto-HFn nanoparticle-based immunohistochemistry method. Therapeutic effects of doxorubicin-loaded HFn nanocarriers evaluated on TfR1 positive GC patient-derived xenograft (GC-PDX) models. The biological function of TfR1 was investigated through in vitro and in vivo assays. TfR1 was upregulated (73.03%) in GC tissues and reversely correlated with patient outcome. TfR1 negative sorted cells exhibited tumor-initiating feature, which enhanced tumor formation in vitro and in vivo, migration/invasion, whereas TfR1 positive sorted cells showed significant proliferation ability. Knockout of TfR1 in GC cells also enhanced cell invasion. TfR1 deficient cells displayed immune escape by upregulating PD-L1, CXCL9 and CXCL10, when disposed by IFN-γ. Western blot results demonstrated that knockout of TfR1 in GC cells upregulated Akt and STAT3 signaling. Moreover, in TfR1 positive GC-PDX models, HFn-Dox group significantly inhibited tumor growth and increased mouse survival compared with that of free-Dox group. TfR1 could be a potential prognostic and therapeutic biomarker for GC: (i) TfR1 reversely correlated with patient outcome and its negative cells possess tumor aggressive features; (ii) TfR1 positive cells can be killed by H-ferritin nanocarrier. Given the heterogeneity of GC, HFn nanocarrier combined with other therapies towards TfR1 negative cells (such as: small molecule or immunotherapy etc.) will be new options for GC treatment.
