ABSTRACT: Comparative RNA seq analysis of WT and global p73KO Mouse Tracheal Epithelial Cell (MTECs) during the course of their differentiation (Air-Liquid Interface ALI D0, D4, D7, D14) aimed to determine the role of p73 in motile multiciliogenesis.
Project description:Comparative small RNA seq analysis of WT and global p73KO Mouse Tracheal Epithelial Cell (MTECs) during the course of their differentiation (Air-Liquid Interface ALI D0, D4, D7, D14) aimed to determine the role of p73 in motile multiciliogenesis.
Project description:Although being essential to respiratory and reproductive tracts multiciliogenesis, TAp73 is dispensable for multiciliogenesis in the ventricles. TAp73 KO is accompanied by dramatic changes in ciliogenic microRNAs miR34bc and miR449 family members, suggestin TAp73 functions partially thorugh posttranscriptional nodes in brain ciliogenesis.
Project description:Human CD34+ progenitors can be in vitro differentiated into proplatelet-producing megakaryocytes (MKs) within 17 days. During this course, 4 cell populations emerge, phenotypically defined as CD34+CD41+ at day 7 (D7) and CD34+CD41+CD9- at D10 and D14 —qualified as “productive” because they can differentiate into proplatelet-forming cells during the D14-D17 period— and CD34-CD41+ or CD34+CD41+CD9+ at day 10 —qualified as “unproductive”, because unable to form proplatelets later. The productive pathway is boosted by the addition of SR1 at D0 and D7. To clarify the features of the productive and unproductive pathways, as well as the effect of SR1, the transcriptomes of the cell populations present at D0, 7, 10 and 14, generated in the presence of the absence of SR1 were determined by RNA-Seq.
Project description:Differentiation of bone marrow derived hMSC with beta-glycerphosphate, ascorbicacidphosphate and dexamethasone for 21 days;evaluated time points d4, d7, d14 and d21 after induction; reference d-1 (one day before induction; preconfluent 70-80%)
Project description:Multiciliated cells possess multiple motile cilia on the cell surface and are widely distributed throughout the vertebrate body to perform important physiological functions by regulating fluid movement in the intercellular space. However the molecular mechanisms underlying multiciliogenesis are not well understood. Although dysregulation of members of the miR-34 family plays a critical role in the progression of various cancers, the physiological function of miR-34b, especially in regulating multiciliogenesis, is largely unknown. Here we focus on the multiciliated cells in the zebrafish kidney to study whether and how miR-34b regulate multiciliogenesis. We performed genome-wide gene expression profiling of zebrafish kidney multiciliated cells in the absence (miR-34b morpholino) or presence of miR-34b (control morpholino). RNA samples for microarray gene expression profiling were collected at 3 days post fertilization.
Project description:The regeneration of the airway mucociliary epithelium involves several sequential events including migration, proliferation, polarization and final differentiation (i.e ciliogenesis). The airway mucociliary epithelium is consituted of three main cell types : ciliated cells, secretory cells and basal cells. We used microRNA microrrays to investigate the signature of microRNA during the four step of regeneration of the airway epithelium. Four time points (ALI-D0, ALI-D7, ALI-D14, ALI-D21) of regeneration of the airway epithelium for 3 donors.

Project description:Motile multiciliated cells (MCCs) have critical roles in respiratory health and disease and are essential for cleaning inhaled pollutants and pathogens from airways. Despite their significance for human disease, the transcriptional control that governs multiciliogenesis remains poorly understood. Here we identify TP73, a p53 homolog, as governing the program for airway multiciliogenesis. Mice with TP73 deficiency suffer from chronic respiratory tract infections due to profound defects in ciliogenesis and complete loss of mucociliary clearance. Organotypic airway cultures pinpoint TAp73 as necessary and sufficient for basal body docking, axonemal extension, and motility during the differentiation of MCC progenitors. Mechanistically, cross-species genomic analyses and complete ciliary rescue of knockout MCCs identify TAp73 as the conserved central transcriptional integrator of multiciliogenesis. TAp73 directly activates the key regulators FoxJ1, Rfx2, Rfx3, and miR34bc plus nearly 50 structural and functional ciliary genes, some of which are associated with human ciliopathies. Our results position TAp73 as a novel central regulator of MCC differentiation.
