View SamplesLIN28 is an RNA-binding protein expressed in many developing tissues. It can block let-7 microRNA processing and help promote pluripotency. We observe LIN28 expression in the developing neural tube, colocalizing with SOX2, suggesting a role in neural development. To better understand its normal developmental function, we investigated LIN28 activity during neurogliogenesis in vitro where the succession of neuronal to glial cell fates occurs as it does in vivo. LIN28 expression was high in undifferentiated cells, and was down-regulated rapidly upon differentiation. Constitutive LIN28 expression caused a complete block of gliogenesis and an increase in neurogenesis. LIN28 expression was compatible with neuronal differentiation and did not increase proliferation. LIN28 caused significant changes in gene expression prior to any effect on let-7, notably on Igf2. Furthermore, a mutant LIN28 that permitted let-7 accumulation was still able to completely block gliogenesis. Thus, at least two biological activities of LIN28 are genetically separable and may involve distinct mechanisms. LIN28 can differentially promote and inhibit specific fates and does not function exclusively by blocking let-7 family miRNAs. Importantly, LIN28s role in cell fate succession in vertebrate cells is analogous to its activity as a developmental timing regulator in C. elegans.
LIN28 alters cell fate succession and acts independently of the let-7 microRNA during neurogliogenesis in vitro.

View SamplesWe performed RNA-Seq and compared expression levels of genes of reactivated LCMV.GP66-77 specific CD4 T cells isolated from bone marrow (BM) and spleen of LCMV.GP61-80 primed C57BL/6 mice. Cells were isolated 3 days after antigenic re-challenge Overall design: C57BL/6 mice were primed at day 0 with LCMV.GP61-80-NP-MSA + poly(I:C) and immunized again at day 14 with LCMV.GP61-80 + poly(I:C). 60 days later, C57BL/6 mice were boosted with LCMV.GP61-80-NP-MSA + poly(I:C) and 3 days after the boost, LCMV specific CD4 T cells were isolated from BM and spleen

View SamplesInsults to the cerebral cortex, such as trauma, ischemia or infections, may result in the development of epilepsy, one of the most common neurological disorders. Previous studies have suggested that perturbations in neurovascular integrity and breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) lead to neuronal hypersynchronization and epileptiform activity, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. As with BBB opening, treatment with albumin or with TGF-1 results in the development of hypersynchronized epileptiform activity. Given the latent period before the appearance of epileptiform activity, we hypothesized the underlying mechanism is a transcriptional response which would be similar for BBB breakdown and exposure to albumin or TGF-1. In search of a common pathway and transcriptional activation pattern we performed a genome wide analysis. Genomic expression analyses demonstrated similar expression patterns for BBB opening, albumin and TGF-1 exposure. Most importantly, TGF- pathway blockers suppressed most albumin-induced transcriptional changes.
