Senescent cells may promote tumour progression through the activation of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), whether these cells are capable of initiating tumourigenesis in vivo is not known. Expression of oncogenic β-catenin in Sox2+ young adult pituitary stem cells leads to formation of clusters of stem cells and induction of tumours resembling human adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP), derived from Sox2- cells in a paracrine manner. Here, we uncover the mechanisms underly ...[more]

Project description:Background: The carpel margin meristem is a vital multi-potent structure located in the medial domain of the Arabidopsis thaliana gynoecium, the female floral reproductive organ. The carpel margin meristem generates ovules that upon fertilization become seeds. The molecular mechanisms that specify this meristematic region and regulate its organogenic potential are poorly understood. Here, we present an analysis of the transcriptional profile of the medial domain of the Arabidopsis gynoecium highlighting the developmental stages that immediately proceed ovule initiation, the earliest stages of seed development. Results: Using a floral synchronization system and a SHATTERPROOF2 domain-specific reporter construct, paired with fluorescence-activated cell sorting, we assayed the transcriptome of the gynoecial medial domain with temporal and spatial precision. Our analysis reveals a set of genes that are differentially-expressed within the SHATTERPROOF2 expression domain that marks portions of the developing medial domain. Many members of this gene set have been shown previously to function during the development of medial domain-derived structures, including the ovules, thus validating our approach. Other uncharacterized members of this gene set, including a set of differentially-expressed cis-natural antisense transcripts, are potential novel regulators of medial domain development and candidates for future functional studies. Several members of the REM family of transcriptional regulators were enriched in the SHP2-expressing cell population including a previously unrecognized REM family member (At5g60142). Analysis of the abundance of specific transcriptional isoforms identified genes that may exhibit âisoform switchingâ behavior during gynoecial development. Conclusions: This data set provides genome-wide transcriptional insight into the development of the gynoecial medial domain that contains the carpel margin meristem, an important reproductive structure that gives rise to the ovules in Arabidopsis thaliana. Four samples (YFP-positive, YFP-negative, all-sorted, and non-sorted). Four biological replicates of each sample (except YFP-positive, collected in triplicated). Strand-specific libraries were sequenced (single-end) in two lanes of a HiSeq 2500 Illumina flow cell (each lane was later analyzed as a technical replicate).

Project description:We previously showed that severe liver diseases are characterized by expansion of liver progenitor cells (LPC), which correlates with disease severity. However, the origin and role of LPC in liver physiology and in the hepatic response to injury remains a contentious topic. We have now used genetic lineage tracing of Hnf1Î²-expressing biliary duct cells to assess their contribution to LPC expansion and hepatocyte generation during normal liver homeostasis, and following different types of liver injury. We found that ductular reaction cells in human cirrhotic livers express HNF1Î². However, HNF1Î² expression was not present in newly generated EpCAM-positive hepatocytes. Using a tamoxifen-inducible Hnf1Î²CreER/R26RYFP/LacZ mouse, we show that there is no contribution of the biliary epithelium to hepatocyte turnover during liver homeostasis in healthy mice. Moreover, after loss of liver mass, Hnf1Î²+ LPC did not contribute to hepatocyte regeneration. We also assessed the contribution of Hnf1Î²+ cells following acute and repeated liver injury. All animal models showed expansion of LPC, as assessed by immunostaining and gene expression profile of sorted YFP-positive cells. A contribution of Hnf1Î²+ LPC to hepatocyte generation was not detected in animal models of liver injury with preserved hepatocyte regenerative potential such as acute acetaminophen, carbon tetrachloride injury, or chronic diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydro-collidin (DDC)-diet. However, in mice fed with choline-deficient ethionine-supplemented (CDE)-diet, which causes profound hepatocyte damage and arrest, a small number of hepatocytes were derived from Hnf1Î²+ cells. Conclusion: Hnf1Î²+ cells do not participate in hepatocyte turnover in the healthy liver or during liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. After liver injury, LPC arise from the biliary duct epithelium, which gives rise to a limited number of hepatocytes only when hepatocyte regeneration is compromised.
