We have developed a microfluidics-based in vitro model of the human gut allowing co-culture of human and microbial cells and subsequent multi-omic assessment of the effect of the co-culture on the host transcriptome.

View SamplesComparison of transcriptome between control and Tcf1/Lef1-deficient mature CD8 thymocytes Overall design: Control mice or those are deficient for Tcf1 and Lef1 transcription factors (deleted by CD4-Cre) were used to isolate thymocytes. The thymocytes were surface-stained to identify TCRbeta high, CD69–, CD24– CD8+ subsets. These cells were sorted for RNAseq analysis.
Tcf1 and Lef1 transcription factors establish CD8(+) T cell identity through intrinsic HDAC activity.

View SamplesNasopharyngeal carcinoma is an Epstein-Barr virus-associated epithelial cancer with high prevalence in Southeast Asia. mRNA expression levels were measured for essentially all human genes in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissue samples and normal nasopharyngeal tissues. Data were analyzed for differential gene expression between tumor and normal tissue.
Upregulated long non-coding RNA AFAP1-AS1 expression is associated with progression and poor prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

View SamplesMany neural progenitor cells present in the fetus, but also in adult brain, which play a major role for the reproduction for healingin regeneration of neuronal cells, when differentiated cells are damaged. However, effects of radiation effect on undifferentiated neural progenitor cells remained unclear. The radiation doses of medical exposure, pollution by nuclear power plant accidents, and other exposure of workers; medical workers, airline crews, and astronaut have been focused. In this study, we report the effects of low- to middle- dose doses of radiation on cultured human neural progenitor cells (hNPC) differentiated derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells, which are partially compared with those of human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC).

View SamplesThe human RNA polymerase II-associated factor complex (hPAFc) and its individual subunits have been implicated in human diseases including cancer. However, its involvement in breast cancer cells awaits investigation. Using data mining and human breast cancer tissue microarrays, we found that Ctr9, the key scaffold subunit in hPAFc, is highly expressed in ER+ luminal breast cancer and the high expression of Ctr9 correlates with poor prognosis. Knockdown of Ctr9 in ER+ breast cancer cells almost completely erased estrogen regulated transcriptional response. At the molecular level, Ctr9 enhances ER protein stability, promotes recruitment of ER and RNAPII and stimulates transcription elongation and transcription-coupled histone modifications. Knockdown of Ctr9, but not other hPAFc subunits, alters the morphology, proliferative capacity and tamoxifen-sensitivity of ER+ breast cancer cells. Together, our study reveals that Ctr9, a key subunit of hPAFc, is a central regulator of estrogen signaling that drives ER+ breast tumorigenesis, rendering it a potential target for the treatment of ER+ breast cancer.
Ctr9, a key subunit of PAFc, affects global estrogen signaling and drives ERα-positive breast tumorigenesis.

View SamplesHeart formation requires input from two populations of progenitor cells - the first and second heart fields - that differentiate at distinct times and create different cardiac components. The cardiac outflow tract (OFT) is built through recruitment of late-differentiating, second heart field (SHF) -derived cardiomyocytes to the arterial pole of the heart. Mechanisms responsible for selection of an appropriate number of OFT cells from the SHF remain unclear, although several lines of evidence emphasize the importance of FGF signaling in promoting this process. Here, we examine the impact of inhibition of FGF signaling on cardiac transcription profiles in an effort to identify genes operating downstream of FGF during OFT development.
Cadm4 restricts the production of cardiac outflow tract progenitor cells.
