  • Phos.Phorylation of the V-Erba Protein Is Reqmred for Its Function As an Oncogene
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on October 10, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Phos.phorylation of the v-erbA protein is reqmred for its function as an oncogene Corine Glineur, 1 Martin Zenke, 2 Hartmut Beug, 2,3 and Jacques Ghysdael 1 llnstitut National de la Sant6 et de la Recherche M6dicale U 186/Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique URA 1160, Institut Pasteur, 59019 Lille Cedex, France; 2IMP, A 1030 Vienna, Austria The v-erbA oncogene of avian erythroblastosis virus (AEV) encodes a ligand-independent mutated version of the chicken c-erbAa-encoded thyroid hormone receptor. The v-erbA gene product, a 75-kD gag/v-erbA fusion protein, is phosphorylated on Ser-16/17 of its v-erbA-encoded domain, and phosphorylation at this site is increased in vivo after activation of either the PKA or PKC signal transduction pathways. To test the hypothesis that phosphorylation of Ser-16/17 regulates gag/v-erbA protein function, mutant proteins in which Ser-16/17 had been changed to alanine or threonine residues were analyzed for their ability to inhibit erythroid differentiation of ts v-erbB or ts v-sea-transformed erythroblasts at nonpermissive temperature. Conversion of Ser-16/17 into alanine, although not affecting nuclear localization or DNA binding of the gag/erbA protein, prevented phosphorylation of the v-erbA-encoded domain of the protein both in unstimulated cells or after stimulation by PKA and PKC activators. The nonphosphorylatable AA-gag/v-erbA protein proved unable to inhibit temperature-induced differentiation of ts v-erbB and ts v.sea-transformed erythroblasts and to block expression of the erythrocyte-specific genes band 3 and carbonic anhydrase II.

  • Parthenogenetic Stem Cells for Tissue-Engineered Heart Repair
    Parthenogenetic stem cells for tissue-engineered heart repair Michael Didié, … , Loren J. Field, Wolfram-Hubertus Zimmermann J Clin Invest. 2013;123(3):1285-1298. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI66854. Technical Advance Uniparental parthenotes are considered an unwanted byproduct of in vitro fertilization. In utero parthenote development is severely compromised by defective organogenesis and in particular by defective cardiogenesis. Although developmentally compromised, apparently pluripotent stem cells can be derived from parthenogenetic blastocysts. Here we hypothesized that nonembryonic parthenogenetic stem cells (PSCs) can be directed toward the cardiac lineage and applied to tissue- engineered heart repair. We first confirmed similar fundamental properties in murine PSCs and embryonic stem cells (ESCs), despite notable differences in genetic (allelic variability) and epigenetic (differential imprinting) characteristics. Haploidentity of major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs) in PSCs is particularly attractive for allogeneic cell-based therapies. Accordingly, we confirmed acceptance of PSCs in MHC-matched allotransplantation. Cardiomyocyte derivation from PSCs and ESCs was equally effective. The use of cardiomyocyte-restricted GFP enabled cell sorting and documentation of advanced structural and functional maturation in vitro and in vivo. This included seamless electrical integration of PSC-derived cardiomyocytes into recipient myocardium. Finally, we enriched cardiomyocytes to facilitate engineering of force-generating myocardium and

Luft,* and Ralph Kettritz* *HELIOS Klinikum-Berlin, Franz Volhard Clinic and Max Delbru¨ck Center for Molecular Medicine, Medical Faculty of the Charite´, Humboldt University of Berlin, Berlin; and †Helmholtz Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Cell Biology, University Hospital of Aachen, Aachen, Germany A large membrane proteinase 3 (mPR3)-positive neutrophil subset (mPR3high) is a risk for Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG). The relationship between mPR3 expression and clinical manifestations was investigated in 81 WG patients and mPR3 expression was studied in CD34؉ stem cell–derived human neutrophils. The mPR3high neutrophil percentage correlated with renal function, anemia, and albumin at the time of presentation. The mPR3high neutrophil percentage and renal failure severity correlated directly after 5 yr. For elucidating mechanisms that govern mPR3 expression, studies were conducted to determine whether the genetic information that governs mPR3 expression resides within the neutrophils, even without stimuli possibly related to disease. CD34؉ hematopoietic stem cells were differentiated to neutrophils, and their mPR3 expression was determined. A two-step amplification/differentiation protocol was used to differentiate human CD34؉ hematopoietic stem cells into neutrophils with G-CSF. The cells progressively expressed the neutrophil surface markers CD66b, CD35, and CD11b. The ferricytochrome C assay demonstrated a strong respiratory burst at day 14 in response to PMA but none at day 0. Intracellular PR3 was detectable from day 4 by Western blotting.
