Mice lacking p63 exhibit severe developmental defects such as limb truncations, abnormal skin, and absence of hair follicles, teeth, and mammary glands. Germline missense mutations of p63 have been shown to be responsible for several human developmental syndromes including SHFM, EEC and ADULT syndromes and are associated with anomalies in the development of organs of epithelial origin.

Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in

  • An NKX2-1/ERK/WNT Feedback Loop Modulates Gastric Identity And
    RESEARCH ARTICLE An NKX2-1/ERK/WNT feedback loop modulates gastric identity and response to targeted therapy in lung adenocarcinoma Rediet Zewdu1,2, Elnaz Mirzaei Mehrabad1,3, Kelley Ingram1,4, Pengshu Fang1,4, Katherine L Gillis1,4, Soledad A Camolotto1,2, Grace Orstad1,4, Alex Jones1,2, Michelle C Mendoza1,4, Benjamin T Spike1,4, Eric L Snyder1,2,4* 1Huntsman Cancer Institute, Salt Lake City, United States; 2Department of Pathology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, United States; 3School of Computing, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, United States; 4Department of Oncological Sciences, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, United States Abstract Cancer cells undergo lineage switching during natural progression and in response to therapy. NKX2-1 loss in human and murine lung adenocarcinoma leads to invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA), a lung cancer subtype that exhibits gastric differentiation and harbors a distinct spectrum of driver oncogenes. In murine BRAFV600E-driven lung adenocarcinoma, NKX2-1 is required for early tumorigenesis, but dispensable for established tumor growth. NKX2-1-deficient, BRAFV600E-driven tumors resemble human IMA and exhibit a distinct response to BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Whereas BRAF/MEK inhibitors drive NKX2-1-positive tumor cells into quiescence, NKX2- 1-negative cells fail to exit the cell cycle after the same therapy. BRAF/MEK inhibitors induce cell identity switching in NKX2-1-negative lung tumors within the gastric lineage, which is driven in part by WNT signaling and FoxA1/2. These data elucidate a complex, reciprocal relationship between lineage specifiers and oncogenic signaling pathways in the regulation of lung adenocarcinoma identity that is likely to impact lineage-specific therapeutic strategies.

  • Deoxyribonuclease I
    Catalog Number: 100574, 100575, 190062 Deoxyribonuclease I CAS #: 9003-98-9 Description: Deoxyribonuclease from beef pancreas, DNase I, was first crystallized by Kunitz.10,11 It is an endonuclease which splits phosphodiester linkages, preferentially adjacent to a pyrimidine nucleotide yielding 5'-phosphate terminated polynucleotides with a free hydroxyl group on position 3'. The average chain of limit digest is a tetranucleotide.19 DNase I acts upon single chain DNA29, and upon double-stranded DNA and chromatin. In the latter case, although histones restrict susceptibility to nuclease action, over a period of time nearly all chromatin DNA is acted upon. According to Mirsky and Silverman20, this could result from the looseness of histone attachment to DNA. They found that lysine-rich histones more effectively block DNase access to DNA than arginine-rich histones. Billing and Bonner2 suggest that DNase attacks the histone-free strand of chromatin DNA. Schmidt, et. al.28 indicate that hydrolysis of the histone-free region of DNA strands accounts for the initial rapid action of the enzyme on chromatin. Bollum3 reports degradation of synthetic homopolymer complexes by DNase I. The intracellular functions of the enzyme are probably controlled by a DNase inhibitor17, which according to Lazarides and Lindberg13 is actin. Molecular weight: 31,000.18 Composition: There are four deoxyribonucleases of beef pancreas: A, B, C, and D.14, 25, 27 Five have been reported by Junowicz and Spencer.7 They are glycoproteins differing from each other either in carbohydrate side-chain or polypeptide component.14, 25 DNase A is the predominant form26; its amino acid sequence has been reported.16 Optimum pH: 7.8.

This study investigates whether skeletal stem/progenitor cells are resident in the cranial sutures. Prospective isolation by FACS identifies this population with a significant difference in spatio-temporal representation between fusing versus patent sutures. Transcriptomic analysis highlights a distinct signature in cells derived from the physiological closing PF suture, and scRNA sequencing identifies transcriptional heterogeneity among sutures. Wnt-signaling activation increases skeletal stem/progenitor cells in sutures, whereas its inhibition decreases. Crossing Axin2LacZ/+ mouse, endowing enhanced Wnt activation, to a Twist1+/− mouse model of coronal cra- niosynostosis enriches skeletal stem/progenitor cells in sutures restoring patency. Co- transplantation of these cells with Wnt3a prevents resynostosis following suturectomy in Twist1+/− mice. Our study reveals that decrease and/or imbalance of skeletal stem/pro- genitor cells representation within sutures may underlie craniosynostosis. These findings have translational implications toward therapeutic approaches for craniosynostosis. 1 Hagey Laboratory for Pediatric Regenerative Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, USA. 2 Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, USA.

  • Deoxyribonuclease I, Bovine (D2821)
    Deoxyribonuclease I, bovine recombinant, expressed in Pichia pastoris lyophilized powder Catalog Number D2821 Storage Temperature 2–8 °C CAS RN 9003-98-9 Optimal pH: EC 3.1.21.1 The optimal pH of DNase I activity is dependent on the Synonyms: DNase I, divalent ion present. In the presence of both Mg2+ and Deoxyribonucleate 5¢-Oligonucleotidohydrolase Ca2+, the optimal pH is between 7–8, while in the absence of Ca2+, the optimal pH is between 5.5–6.0.6 Product Description 1% Deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) is found in most cells Extinction Coefficient: E280 = 11.1 and tissues. In mammals, the pancreas is one of the best sources for the enzyme. Pancreatic DNase I was This recombinant bovine DNase I is a glycoprotein, the first isolated DNase. produced without the addition of any animal-derived materials. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder DNase I is an endonuclease that acts on containing a glycine stabilizer. phosphodiester bonds adjacent to pyrimidines to produce polynucleotides with terminal 5¢-phosphates. Molecular mass: ~39 kDa A tetranucleotide is the smallest average digestion product. DNase I hydrolyzes single- and double- Specific activity: ³4,000 units/mg protein stranded DNA. In the presence of Mg2+ ions, DNase I attacks each strand of DNA independently and the Unit definition: One unit will produce a change in A260 of cleavage sites are random.
