Product Information Product information NANOG 1-154aa Human, His-tagged, Recombinant, E.coli Cat. No. IBATGP1124 Full name: Homeobox protein NANOG NCBI Accession No.: NP_079141 Synonyms: Homeobox transcription factor Nanog, homeobox transcription factor Nanog-delta 48 Description: NANOG, also known as nanog homeobox, is a member of the homeobox family of DNA binding transcription factors that has been shown to maintain pluripotency of embryonic stem cells. Nanog expression counteracts the differentiation-promoting signals induced by the extrinsic factors LIF, Stat3 and BMP. Once NANOG expression is down-regulated, cell differentiation can proceed. Recombinant human NANOG protein, fused to His- tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography.

The architecture of mitoribosomes is mainly composed of mitochondrial ribosomal proteins (MRPs), which are encoded by nuclear genomic DNA. Emerging experimental evidences reveal that several MRPs are multifunctional and they exhibit important extra-mitochondrial functions, such as involvement in apoptosis, protein biosynthesis and signal transduction. Dysregulations of the MRPs are associated with severe pathological conditions, including cancer.

In the past years, several human cell types have been utilized for these goals, including heterologous systems, cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular primary cells, and embryonic stem cells. The introduction of induced pluripotent stem cells and their differentiation potential brought new prospects for large-scale cardiovascular experiments, bypassing ethical concerns of embryonic stem cells and providing an advanced tool for disease modeling, diagnosis, and therapy. Each model has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of accessibility, maintenance, throughput, physiological relevance, recapitulation of the disease. A higher level of complexity in diseases modeling has been achieved with multicellular co-cultures. Furthermore, the important progresses reached by bioengineering during the last years, together with the opportunities given by pluripotent stem cells, have allowed the generation of increasingly advanced in vitro three-dimensional tissue-like constructs mimicking in vivo physiology.

  • Gene Expression Profiling in Peripheral Blood Nuclear Cells in Patients with Refractory Ischaemic End-Stage Heart Failure

Functional analysis of up- and down-regulated genes might reveal whether peripheral blood cells may be considered as a material of diagnostic or prognostic value in patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). The aim of the present study was to compare the transcriptomic profile of peripheral blood nuclear cells from 6 male patients with ischaemic end-stage HF with those of 6 male patients with asymptomatic cardiac dysfunction. The expression of genes in peripheral blood nuclear cells in both groups of patients was measured using whole-genome oligonucleotide microarrays utilizing 35 035 oligonucleotide probes. Microarray analyses re- vealed 130 down-regulated genes and 15 up-regulated genes in the patients with end-stage HF. Some of the down-regulated genes belonged to the pathways that other studies have shown to be down-regulated in cardiomyopathy. We also identified up-regulated genes that have been correlated with HF severity (CXCL16) and genes involved in the regulation of expression of platelet activation factor receptor (PTAFR, RBPSUH, MCC, and PSMA7).

  • The Role of the Cytoskeleton in Pluripotent Stem Cell Differentiation
    THE ROLE OF THE CYTOSKELETON IN PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL DIFFERENTIATION AN ABSTRACT SUBMITTED ON THE 21ST DAY OF AUGUST, 2013 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING OF THE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING AT TULANE UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY ___________________________ EMMA T. PINEDA FORTIN APPROVED: ___________________________ TABASSUM AHSAN, Ph.D. (COMMITTEE CHAIR) __________________________ WALTER LEE MURFEE, Ph.D. __________________________ DAMIR KHISMATULLIN, Ph.D. ABSTRACT An understanding of the pathways responsible for differentiation in pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) would accelerate their translation to medical therapies. Specifically, studies that identify criteria for the better design of experiments targeting certain phenotypes would allow for the generation of cell sources adequate for transplantation. In this dissertation, we aimed at elucidating the role of the cytoskeleton in the spontaneous differentiation of PSCs in two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) microenvironments. First, we quantified the expression of the cytoskeleton in ESCs, iPSCs, and the iPSC source phenotype, showing that there were indeed differences in the expression of microfilaments and certain intermediate filaments among all three phenotypes. Next, we found that there were inherent differences in ESC differentiation when cultured in 2D and 3D microenvironments. Lastly, alterations in the cytoskeleton were found to decrease mesodermal differentiation in 3D culture, while

ABSTRACT Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is endemic in Southern China and South East Asia, causally linked to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, and frequently shows dysregulation in a number of stem cell maintenance signalling pathways. This thesis has endeavoured to investigate the status of one of these pathways; the Hedgehog (HH) signalling pathway, in NPC tumours, and reveals the novel finding that EBV is able to active the HH signalling pathway through autocrine induction of the SHH ligand in the C666.1 authentic EBV-positive NPC-derived cell line and latently infected epithelial carcinoma cell lines. This study demonstrates that constitutive engagement of the HH pathway in EBV-infected epithelial cells in vitro induces the expression of a number of stemness-associated genes and imposes stem-like characteristics.
