The Journal of Immunology Identification of TMEM131L as a Novel Regulator of Thymocyte Proliferation in Humans Nesrine Maharzi,*,†,‡ Ve´ronique Parietti,*,†,‡ Elisabeth Nelson,*,†,‡ Simona Denti,*,†,‡ Macarena Robledo-Sarmiento,*,†,‡ Niclas Setterblad,x Aude Parcelier,*,†,‡ Marika Pla,{ Franc¸ois Sigaux,*,†,‡ Jean Claude Gluckman,*,†,‡ and Bruno Canque*,†,‡ In this study, we identify transmembrane protein 131–like (TMEM131L) as a novel regulator of thymocyte proliferation and demonstrate that it corresponds to a not as yet reported inhibitor of Wnt signaling. Short hairpin RNA–mediated silencing of TMEM131L in human CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors, which were then grafted in NOD-SCID/IL-2rgnull mice, resulted in both thymocyte hyperproliferation and multiple pre– and post–b-selection intrathymic developmental defects. Consistent with deregu- lated Wnt signaling, TMEM131L-deficient thymocytes expressed Wnt target genes at abnormally high levels, and they displayed both constitutive phosphorylation of Wnt coreceptor LRP6 and b-catenin intranuclear accumulation. Using T cell factor reporter Downloaded from assays, we found that membrane-associated TMEM131L inhibited canonical Wnt/b-catenin signaling at the LRP6 coreceptor level. Whereas membrane-associated TMEM131L did not affect LRP6 expression under basal conditions, it triggered lysosome- dependent degradation of its active phosphorylated form following Wnt activation. Genetic mapping showed that phosphorylated LRP6 degradation did not depend on TMEM131L cytoplasmic part but rather on a conserved extracellular domain proximal to the membrane. Collectively, these data indicate that, during thymopoiesis, stage-specific surface translocation of TMEM131L may regulate immature single-positive thymocyte proliferation arrest by acting through mixed Wnt-dependent and -independent http://www.jimmunol.org/ mechanisms.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

  • Placenta-Derived Exosomes Continuously Increase in Maternal
    Sarker et al. Journal of Translational Medicine 2014, 12:204 http://www.translational-medicine.com/content/12/1/204 RESEARCH Open Access Placenta-derived exosomes continuously increase in maternal circulation over the first trimester of pregnancy Suchismita Sarker1, Katherin Scholz-Romero1, Alejandra Perez2, Sebastian E Illanes1,2,3, Murray D Mitchell1, Gregory E Rice1,2 and Carlos Salomon1,2* Abstract Background: Human placenta releases specific nanovesicles (i.e. exosomes) into the maternal circulation during pregnancy, however, the presence of placenta-derived exosomes in maternal blood during early pregnancy remains to be established. The aim of this study was to characterise gestational age related changes in the concentration of placenta-derived exosomes during the first trimester of pregnancy (i.e. from 6 to 12 weeks) in plasma from women with normal pregnancies. Methods: A time-series experimental design was used to establish pregnancy-associated changes in maternal plasma exosome concentrations during the first trimester. A series of plasma were collected from normal healthy women (10 patients) at 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 weeks of gestation (n = 70). We measured the stability of these vesicles by quantifying and observing their protein and miRNA contents after the freeze/thawing processes. Exosomes were isolated by differential and buoyant density centrifugation using a sucrose continuous gradient and characterised by their size distribution and morphology using the nanoparticles tracking analysis (NTA; Nanosight™) and electron microscopy (EM), respectively. The total number of exosomes and placenta-derived exosomes were determined by quantifying the immunoreactive exosomal marker, CD63 and a placenta-specific marker (Placental Alkaline Phosphatase PLAP).

  • Supplementary Methods
    Supplementary methods Human lung tissues and tissue microarray (TMA) All human tissues were obtained from the Lung Cancer Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) Tissue Bank at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX). A collection of 26 lung adenocarcinomas and 24 non-tumoral paired tissues were snap-frozen and preserved in liquid nitrogen for total RNA extraction. For each tissue sample, the percentage of malignant tissue was calculated and the cellular composition of specimens was determined by histological examination (I.I.W.) following Hematoxylin-Eosin (H&E) staining. All malignant samples retained contained more than 50% tumor cells. Specimens resected from NSCLC stages I-IV patients who had no prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy were used for TMA analysis by immunohistochemistry. Patients who had smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime were defined as smokers. Samples were fixed in formalin, embedded in paraffin, stained with H&E, and reviewed by an experienced pathologist (I.I.W.). The 413 tissue specimens collected from 283 patients included 62 normal bronchial epithelia, 61 bronchial hyperplasias (Hyp), 15 squamous metaplasias (SqM), 9 squamous dysplasias (Dys), 26 carcinomas in situ (CIS), as well as 98 squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and 141 adenocarcinomas. Normal bronchial epithelia, hyperplasia, squamous metaplasia, dysplasia, CIS, and SCC were considered to represent different steps in the development of SCCs. All tumors and lesions were classified according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2004 criteria. The TMAs were prepared with a manual tissue arrayer (Advanced Tissue Arrayer ATA100, Chemicon International, Temecula, CA) using 1-mm-diameter cores in triplicate for tumors and 1.5 to 2-mm cores for normal epithelial and premalignant lesions.

In most livestock herds, an important issue is controlling the increase in inbreeding coefficient. While this remains a large motive to genotype, producers are often unaware of the other benefits that genotyping could bring. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that SNP chips could be used as an effective herd management tool by utilizing a population of Italian Holstein-Friesian cattle. After filtering, the total number 643 Rev Mex Cienc Pecu 2019;10(3):643-663 of animals and SNPs retained for analyses were 44 and 27,365, respectively. The principal component analyses (PCA) were able to identify a sire and origin-of-sire effect within the herd, while determining that sires do not influence individual genomic selection index values. The inbreeding coefficients calculated from genotypes (FIS) provided a glimpse into the herd’s heterozygosity and determined that the genetic variability is being well maintained.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY THE IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SUFU INTERACTING PROTEINS EMILY VALERIO SPRING 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Biology with honors in Biology Reviewed and approved* by the following: Aimin Liu Associate Professor of Biology Thesis Supervisor Gong Chen Associate Professor of Biology Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The Hedgehog (Hh) pathway, activated by a special family of proteins, is a prominent pathway in mammalian development and also in the formation of various cancers. When interacting with cells, Hh ligands are responsible for enhancing target Hh gene expression through the activation of Gli-transcriptional activators. Suppressor of Fused (Sufu) is a specific Gli-interacting protein that functions in negatively regulating Gli activity and by doing so, suppressing Gli-activated tumor formation. The extent of how Sufu functions is not yet understood in mammals. In an effort to identify proteins that may interact with Sufu in this pathway, over 50 candidate proteins were identified through a yeast-two hybrid screen. Through much background research, four particular proteins were selected due to their known function and location in the cell: ran-binding protein 9 (RanBP9), transmembrane 131-like precursor (T131L), COP9 signalosome complex subunit 1 isoform (Gps1), and hypothetical protein LOC67513. After performing co-immunoprecipitation assays, we confirmed interactions with T131L, Gps1 and LOC67513. These proteins have also been recognized to interact with both structural domains of Sufu, the N-terminal domain and C-terminal domain.
