Efficient derivation of functional floor plate tissue from human embryonic stem cells.


ABSTRACT: The floor plate (FP) is a critical signaling center during neural development located along the ventral midline of the embryo. Little is known about human FP development because of the lack of tissue accessibility. Here we report the efficient derivation of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived FP tissue capable of secreting Netrin-1 and SHH and patterning primary and hESC derived tissues. FP induction in hESCs is dependent on early SHH exposure and occurs at the expense of anterior neurectoderm (AN). Global gene expression and functional studies identify SHH-mediated inhibition of Dkk-1 as key factor in FP versus AN specification. hESC-derived FP tissue is shown to be of anterior SIX6+ character but is responsive to caudalizing factors suppressing SIX6 expression and inducing a shift in usage of region-specific SHH enhancers. These data define the early signals that drive human FP versus AN specification and determine regional identity in hESC-derived FP.

<h4>Background</h4>Glioblastoma (GBM) severely disrupts the quality of life of patients. Anoikis represents a significant mechanism in cancer invasion and metastasis. Our study focused on the prognostic relationship between the anoikis-associated gene and GBM and its effect on GBM cell progression.<h4>Methods</h4>We downloaded 656 and 979 GBM sample data from TCGA and CGGA cohort datasets, respectively. Fifteen anoikis-associated genes were obtained from the GeneCards database and were subsequen  ...[more]
