Cancer cells consume large amounts of glucose because of their specific metabolic pathway. However, cancer cells exist in tumor tissue where glucose is insufficient. To survive, cancer cells likely have the mechanism to elude their glucose addiction. Here we show that functional mitochondria are essential if cancer cells are to avoid glucose addiction.
Mitochondria regulate the unfolded protein response leading to cancer cell survival under glucose deprivation conditions.

View SamplesWe aimed to identify a reprogramming factor in mammalian oocytes. DJ-1 is one candidate gene of the factor. Inhibition of DJ-1 function in nuclear transfer embryos affected developmental abilities. The downstream effect of this DJ-1 inhibition was examined using microarrays.

View SamplesIntratracheal transfer of isolated lung fibroblasts in bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis recapitulates the activation process of lung fibroblasts after epithelial injury. In order to investigate gene expression signatures of transferred fibroblasts, we purified transferred fibroblasts 2, 4, and 7 days after the transfer and performed transcriptome analysis. We also isolated Acta2 high and low cells by using Acta2-mKO1 reporter mice 4 days after the transfer. Overall design: Lung fibroblasts were isolated from untreated Col-GFP mice after tissue dissociation and negative selection for lineage markers. Isolated lung fibroblasts were intratracheally transferred into wild type mice, which received intratracheal bleomycin treatment 7 days before the transfer. Col-GFP+ cells were purified from the host lungs by FACS sorting on 2, 4, and 7 days after the transfer. Acta2 high and low cells were prepared by transferring lung fibroblasts from Acta2-mKO1 reporter mice. mRNA was isolated from sorted cells, and gene expression profiles were acquired by next generation sequencing.

View SamplesLung fibroblasts play a pivotal role in pulmonary fibrosis, a devastating lung diseases, by producing extracellular matrix. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) suppress a lot of genes posttranscriptionally, but the dynamics and the role of miRNAs in activated lung fibroblasts in fibrotic lung has been poorly understood. We found miR-19a, 19b and 20a subcluster expression increased in activated lung fibroblasts as the fibrosis progression. To elucidate whether fibroblast-specific intervention against miR-19a, 19b and 20a subcluster modulates pathogenic activation of lung fibroblasts in vivo, we intratracheally-transferred the subcluster-overexpressed fibroblasts into bleomycin-treated lungs and performed global transcriptome analysis. Overall design: miR-19a, 19b and 20a subcluster-overexpressed fibroblasts and mock-expressed fibroblasts were intratracheally-transferred to B6 mice at day 7 post-administration of 2 mg/kg of bleomycin. Donor cells were recoverred at day 3 post-transfer by cell sotring. Global transcriptome of transferred fibroblasts was generated by 3'SAGE-seq using Ion Proton sequencer.

View SamplesPulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an intractable disorder with a poor prognosis. Although lung fibroblasts play central roles in PF, their key regulatory molecules remain unclear. We performed transcriptome analysis of lung fibroblasts from bleomycin- and silica-treated murine lungs and identified 55 hub transcription factors highly connected to gene modules differentially expressed in PF. To elucidate whether fibroblast-specific intervention against the hub transcription factor Srebf1 modulates pathogenic activation of lung fibroblasts in vivo, we intratracheally-transferred active form of Srebf1-overexpressed fibroblasts into bleomycin-treated lungs and performed global transcriptome analysis. Overall design: Active form of Srebf1-overexpressed fibroblasts and mock-expressed fibroblasts were intratracheally-transferred to B6 mice at day 5 post-administration of 2 mg/kg of bleomycin. Expression of active form of Srebf1 was induced by doxycycline administration at day 7 post-administration of 2 mg/kg of bleomycin. Donor cells were recovered at day 10 post--administration of 2 mg/kg of bleomycin by cell sorting. Global transcriptome of transferred fibroblasts was generated by 3'SAGE-seq using Ion Proton sequencer.
