Project description:BACKGROUND: Myoblasts undergo major changes in their plasma membrane during the initial steps of skeletal muscle differentiation, including major alterations in the distribution of cholesterol. Cholesterol is involved in crucial membrane functions, such as fluidity, and permeability, and in the organization of specialized membrane microdomains (or lipid rafts). We have previously shown that alterations in cholesterol levels in myoblasts induce changes in proliferation and differentiation, which involves activation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. In this study we used methyl-?-cyclodextrin (MbCD) to extract cholesterol from the membrane of chick skeletal muscle cells grown in culture. Using Ion Torrent-based sequencing, we compared the transcriptome of untreated and MbCD treated cells. Our aim was to define the genes that are expressed in these two conditions and relate their expression to cellular functions. RESULTS: Over 5.7 million sequences were obtained, representing 671.38 Mb of information. mRNA transcriptome profiling of myogenic cells after cholesterol depletion revealed alterations in transcripts involved in the regulation of apoptosis, focal adhesion, phagosome, tight junction, cell cycle, lysosome, adherens junctions, gap junctions, p53 signaling pathway, endocytosis, autophagy and actin cytoskeleton. Lim domain only protein 7 mRNA was found to be the highest up-regulated feature after cholesterol depletion. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study on the effects of membrane cholesterol depletion in mRNA expression in myogenic cells. Our data shows that alterations in the availability of plasma membrane cholesterol lead to transcriptional changes in myogenic cells. The knowledge of the genes involved in the cellular response to cholesterol depletion could contribute to our understanding of skeletal muscle differentiation.

Project description:PC12 cells are a popular model system to study changes driving and accompanying neuronal differentiation. While attention has been paid to changes in transcriptional regulation and protein signaling, much less is known about the changes in organization that accompany PC12 differentiation. Fluorescence microscopy can provide extensive information about these changes, although it is difficult to continuously observe changes over many days of differentiation. We describe a generative model of differentiation-associated changes in cell and nuclear shape and their relationship to mitochondrial distribution constructed from images of different cells at discrete time points. We show that the model accurately represents complex cell and nuclear shapes and learn a regression model that relates cell and nuclear shape to mitochondrial distribution; the predictive accuracy of the model increases during differentiation. Most importantly, we propose a method, based on cell matching and interpolation, to produce realistic simulations of the dynamics of cell differentiation from only static images. We also found that the distribution of cell shapes is hollow: most shapes are very different from the average shape. Finally, we show how the method can be used to model nuclear shape changes of human-induced pluripotent stem cells resulting from drug treatments.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Cancer stem-like cells were isolated from human H460 non-small cell lung cancer cells by limiting dilution assays and by their holoclone morphology, followed by assessment of their self-renewal capacity, tumor growth, vascularity, and tumor blood perfusion. H460 holoclones were used to implant H460 holoclone-derived tumors, which grew slower than parental H460 tumors, but displayed significant increases in microvessel density and tumor blood perfusion. Microarray analysis identified differentially regulated genes in the holoclone-derived tumors, of which many were associated with angiogenesis. The differentially regulated genes include several small leucine-rich proteoglycans that may modulate angiogenesis and serve as novel therapeutic targets for inhibiting cancer stem cell-driven angiogenesis.(Cancer Letters Vol 346, Issue 1, 28 April 2014, Pages 63–73; PMID: 24334139; PMCID: PMC3947657). Implanted tumors derived from H460 parental cells, or from each of four independent H460 holoclones, were implanted subcutaneously in scid immunodeficient mice. Tumors derived from the 4 holoclones (designated H460/2E1, H460/2H3, H460/3F1, and H460/2E7) were used for global transcriptome/microarray analysis in direct comparison to H460 tumors grown from parental H460 cells. For each H460 holoclone-derived tumor line or H460 parental cell-derived tumor, total RNA was prepared from n=7 to n=10 individual tumors and used to prepare two independent pools of tumor RNA (each pool comprised of RNA isolated n=3-5 tumors) for use in a two color microarray analysis. Tumor RNA pools were prepared by combining equal amounts of RNA from each individual tumor to minimize the impasct of inter-tumoral variation on gene expression profiles. All RNAs had an RNA integrity number >8.0, determined using an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 instrument. cDNAs transcribed from pools of RNA for each holoclone-derived tumor line and for each parental H460 cell-derived tumor pool, were labeled with Alexa 647 or Alexa 555 dyes in a fluorescent reverse pair (dye swap) design for competitive hybridization to Agilent Whole Human Genome Microarrays.

Project description:Copper (Cu) is an essential metal required for activity of a number of redox active enzymes that participate in critical cellular pathways such as metabolism and cell signaling. Because it is also a toxic metal, Cu must be tightly controlled by a series of transporters and chaperone proteins that regulate Cu homeostasis. The critical nature of Cu is highlighted by the fact that mutations in Cu homeostasis genes cause pathologic conditions such as Menkes and Wilson diseases. While Cu homeostasis in highly affected tissues like the liver and brain is well understood, no study has probed the role of Cu in development of skeletal muscle, another tissue that often shows pathology in these conditions. Here, we found an increase in whole cell Cu content during differentiation of cultured immortalized or primary myoblasts derived from mouse satellite cells. We demonstrate that Cu is required for both proliferation and differentiation of primary myoblasts. We also show that a key Cu homeostasis gene, Atp7a, undergoes dynamic changes in expression during myogenic differentiation. Alternative polyadenylation and stability of Atp7a mRNA fluctuates with differentiation stage of the myoblasts, indicating post-transcriptional regulation of Atp7a that depends on the differentiation state. This is the first report of a requirement for Cu during myogenic differentiation and provides the basis for understanding the network of Cu transport associated with myogenesis.

Project description:Transcription profile of cancer stem cells isolated from human non-small cells lung cancer (NSCLC) H460 cells. The profile of H460 cells that were made resistant to cisplatin after a single treatment with the drug was also determined. Both profiles were finally compared. Each microarray contained one of these comparative experiments (two-channels): H460C (H460 derived CSCs) vs H460 and H460R (cisplatin-resistant H460 cells) vs H460. Technical replicates were made with dye-swap-based design. Total biological replicates per cell type (H460C and H460R): 2.

Project description:Humans are able to mentally adopt the spatial perspective of others and represent the visual world from their point of view. Here, we present neuropsychological evidence that information inaccessible from an egocentric perspective can be accessed from the perspective of another person. Patients affected by left neglect were asked to describe arrays of objects from their own egocentric perspective, from an opposite perspective (disembodied perspective taking), and from the point of view of another person actually seated in front of them (embodied perspective taking). Although disembodied perspective-taking ameliorated neglect severity, there was an even stronger positive effect of embodied perspective-taking: items presented on the left and neglected when reported from the egocentric perspective were instead recovered when patients assumed the perspective of the other. These findings suggest that perspective-taking entails an altercentric remapping of space, i.e. remapping of objects and locations coded with reference to the other person's body.

Project description:Objective: It has been demonstrated that the transcription factors TAZ (transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif), paired box gene 8 (PAX8), and NK2 homeobox 1 (NKX2-1) are coexpressed in the nucleus of thyroid cells. Furthermore, TAZ is known to enhance the transcriptional activity of PAX8 and NKX2-1 as well as the key thyroid-specific gene, thyroglobulin (TG), suggesting a critical role for TAZ in the control of thyroid cell speciation. We previously reported that the small molecule ethacridine, identified as a TAZ activator, was able to induce thyroid-specific transcription in endodermal cells differentiated from human embryonic stem (hES) cells using activin A. Since transcription factors are epigenetically regulated in cell differentiation, we investigated the epigenetic changes in the promoter regions of these key transcription factors during in vitro differentiation of hES cells into thyrocytes. Methods: We initially profiled chromatin accessibility using the technique of Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq), and then examined DNA methylation and histone acetylation in the promoter regions of the three selected thyroid transcription factors and the thyroid-specific genes during hES cell differentiation. Results: ATAC-seq analysis showed enriched chromatin accessibility of TAZ, NKX2-1, and PAX8 after exposure to activin A and ethacridine. There were no methylation changes found in the NKX2-1, PAX8, and TAZ promoters by bisulfite sequencing. In contrast, acetylation of histone H4, specifically acetylation of lysine 16, was observed in each of the promoters when measured by chromatin immunoprecipitation polymerase chain reaction assays, which correlated with the activity and expression of NKX2-1 and PAX8 as well as sodium/iodide symporter, thyroid stimulating hormone receptor, and TG genes. Conclusions: These results indicate that ethacridine treatment of activin A-derived endodermal hES cells leads to enhanced chromatin accessibility, which, in turn, allows histone H4 acetylation in the regulation of active genes for speciation of thyroid follicular cells from hES cells.
