Anti-CST7 monoclonal antibody (DCABH-11152) This product is for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic use. PRODUCT INFORMATION Antigen Description The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences. Some of the members are active cysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or perhaps never acquired this inhibitory activity. There are three inhibitory families in the superfamily, including the type 1 cystatins (stefins), type 2 cystatins and the kininogens. The type 2 cystatin proteins are a class of cysteine proteinase inhibitors found in a variety of human fluids and secretions. This gene encodes a glycosylated cysteine protease inhibitor with a putative role in immune regulation through inhibition of a unique target in the hematopoietic system. Expression of the protein has been observed in various human cancer cell lines established from malignant tumors. Immunogen A synthetic peptide of human CST7 is used for rabbit immunization.

Transcriptome Analysis on Monocytes from Patients With
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Transcriptome Analysis on Monocytes from Patients with Neovascular Age-Related Macular Received: 26 February 2016 Accepted: 10 June 2016 Degeneration Published: 04 July 2016 Michelle Grunin1, Shira-Hagbi-Levi1, Batya Rinsky1, Yoav Smith2 & Itay Chowers1 Mononuclear phagocytes (MPs), including monocytes/macrophages, play complex roles in age- related macular degeneration (AMD) pathogenesis. We reported altered gene-expression signature in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from AMD patients, and a chemokine receptor signature on AMD monocytes. To obtain comprehensive understanding of MP involvement, particularly in peripheral circulation in AMD, we performed global gene expression analysis in monocytes. We separated monocytes from treatment-naïve neovascular AMD (nvAMD) patients (n = 14) and age-matched controls (n = 15), and performed microarray and bioinformatics analysis. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed on other sets of nvAMD (n = 25), atrophic AMD (n = 21), and controls (n = 28) for validation. This validated microarray genes (like TMEM176A/B and FOSB) tested, including differences between nvAMD and atrophic AMD. We identified 2,165 differentially-expressed genes (P < 0.05), including 79 genes with log2 fold change ≥1.5 between nvAMD and controls. Functional annotation using DAVID and TANGO demonstrated immune response alterations in AMD monocytes (FDR-P <0.05), validated by randomized data comparison (P < 0.0001). GSEA, ISMARA, and MEME analysis found immune enrichment and specific involved microRNAs. Enrichment of differentially-expressed genes in monocytes was found in retina via SAGE data-mining. These genes were enriched in non-classical vs. classical monocyte subsets (P < 0.05). Therefore, global gene expression analysis in AMD monocytes reveals an altered immune-related signature, further implicating systemic MP activation in AMD.

And Post-Symptomatic Frontotemporal Dementia-Like Mice with TDP-43
Wu et al. Acta Neuropathologica Communications (2019) 7:50 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40478-019-0674-x RESEARCH Open Access Transcriptomopathies of pre- and post- symptomatic frontotemporal dementia-like mice with TDP-43 depletion in forebrain neurons Lien-Szu Wu1†, Wei-Cheng Cheng1†, Chia-Ying Chen2, Ming-Che Wu1, Yi-Chi Wang3, Yu-Hsiang Tseng2, Trees-Juen Chuang2* and C.-K. James Shen1* Abstract TAR DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein, which participates in a number of cellular processes and has been identified as the major pathological factor in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Here we constructed a conditional TDP-43 mouse with depletion of TDP-43 in the mouse forebrain and find that the mice exhibit a whole spectrum of age-dependent frontotemporal dementia-like behaviour abnormalities including perturbation of social behaviour, development of dementia-like behaviour, changes of activities of daily living, and memory loss at a later stage of life. These variations are accompanied with inflammation, neurodegeneration, and abnormal synaptic plasticity of the mouse CA1 neurons. Importantly, analysis of the cortical RNA transcripts of the conditional knockout mice at the pre−/post-symptomatic stages and the corresponding wild type mice reveals age-dependent alterations in the expression levels and RNA processing patterns of a set of genes closely associated with inflammation, social behaviour, synaptic plasticity, and neuron survival. This study not only supports the scenario that loss-of-function of TDP-43 in mice may recapitulate key behaviour features of the FTLD diseases, but also provides a list of TDP-43 target genes/transcript isoforms useful for future therapeutic research.

Characterization of the Chromatin Accessibility in an Alzheimer's
Wang et al. Alzheimer's Research & Therapy (2020) 12:29 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13195-020-00598-2 RESEARCH Open Access Characterization of the chromatin accessibility in an Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mouse model Yaqi Wang1, Xiaomin Zhang1, Qiao Song1, Yuli Hou1, Jing Liu1, Yu Sun2* and Peichang Wang1* Abstract Background: The pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) involve alterations in the expression of numerous genes associated with transcriptional levels, which are determined by chromatin accessibility. Here, the landscape of chromatin accessibility was studied to understand the outline of the transcription and expression of AD-associated metabolism genes in an AD mouse model. Methods: The assay for transposase-accessible chromatin by sequencing (ATAC-seq) was used to investigate the AD- associated chromatin reshaping in the APPswe/PS1dE9 (APP/PS1) mouse model. ATAC-seq data in the hippocampus of 8-month-old APP/PS1 mice were generated, and the relationship between chromatin accessibility and gene expression was analyzed in combination with RNA sequencing. Gene ontology (GO) analysis was applied to elucidate biological processes and signaling pathways altered in APP/PS1 mice. Critical transcription factors were identified; alterations in chromatin accessibility were further confirmed using chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Results: We identified 1690 increased AD-associated chromatin-accessible regions in the hippocampal tissues of APP/ PS1 mice. These regions were enriched in genes related to diverse signaling pathways, including the PI3K-Akt, Hippo, TGF-β, and Jak-Stat signaling pathways, which play essential roles in regulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammatory responses. A total of 1003 decreased chromatin-accessible regions were considered to be related with declined AD-associated biological processes including cellular response to hyperoxia and insulin stimulus, synaptic transmission, and positive regulation of autophagy.
