  • Development and Maintenance of Epidermal Stem Cells in Skin Adnexa
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Development and Maintenance of Epidermal Stem Cells in Skin Adnexa Jaroslav Mokry * and Rishikaysh Pisal Medical Faculty, Charles University, 500 03 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 October 2020; Accepted: 18 December 2020; Published: 20 December 2020 Abstract: The skin surface is modified by numerous appendages. These structures arise from epithelial stem cells (SCs) through the induction of epidermal placodes as a result of local signalling interplay with mesenchymal cells based on the Wnt–(Dkk4)–Eda–Shh cascade. Slight modifications of the cascade, with the participation of antagonistic signalling, decide whether multipotent epidermal SCs develop in interfollicular epidermis, scales, hair/feather follicles, nails or skin glands. This review describes the roles of epidermal SCs in the development of skin adnexa and interfollicular epidermis, as well as their maintenance. Each skin structure arises from distinct pools of epidermal SCs that are harboured in specific but different niches that control SC behaviour. Such relationships explain differences in marker and gene expression patterns between particular SC subsets. The activity of well-compartmentalized epidermal SCs is orchestrated with that of other skin cells not only along the hair cycle but also in the course of skin regeneration following injury. This review highlights several membrane markers, cytoplasmic proteins and transcription factors associated with epidermal SCs. Keywords: stem cell; epidermal placode; skin adnexa; signalling; hair pigmentation; markers; keratins 1. Epidermal Stem Cells as Units of Development 1.1. Development of the Epidermis and Placode Formation The embryonic skin at very early stages of development is covered by a surface ectoderm that is a precursor to the epidermis and its multiple derivatives.

Buroker Department of Pediatrics, University of Washington, Seattle, USA Email: [email protected] Received 25 January 2014; revised 20 February 2014; accepted 27 February 2014 Copyright © 2014 by author and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Four regulatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (rSNPs) (rs2238631, rs2238632, rs2238633 and rs2238634) in intron one, two rSNPs (rs1131882 and rs4523) in exon 3 and one rSNP (rs5756) in the 3’UTR of the thromboxane A2 receptor (TBXA2R) gene have been associated with childhood- onset asthma in Asians. These rSNP alleles alter the DNA landscape for potential transcriptional factors (TFs) to attach resulting in changes in transcriptional factor binding sites (TFBS). These TFBS changes are examined with respect to asthma which has been found to be significantly asso- ciated with the rSNPs. Keywords TBXA2R, rSNPs, TFBS, Asthma 1. Introduction Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways characterized by recurrent episodes of reversible air- way obstruction and increased bronchial hyper-responsiveness which results from the interactions between gen- es and environmental factors [1]-[3]. Asthma causes episodes of wheeze, cough, and shortness of breath [4]. Re- cent studies indicate that the genetic factors of childhood-onset asthma differ from those of adult-onset asthma [3] [5].

  • Keratin 19 Regulates Cell Shape and Cell-Cell Adhesion of MCF7 Cells While Maintaining E-Cadherin Localization at the Cell Surface
    Keratin 19 regulates cell shape and cell-cell adhesion of MCF7 cells while maintaining E-cadherin localization at the cell surface Welcome to my poster. This is Sarah Alsharif, a PhD student from the biology department. I am glad to present the work our lab has been doing in the breast cancer field. In fact, after lung cancer, breast cancer is the second cause of death in women worldwide (1). It is estimated that every 18 seconds, approximately one new case of breast cancer is documented (2). No one dies due to cancer itself. The death is because of metastasis which takes place when cancer cells leave a breast in which they are formed and reach other sites such as the brain or lung. Our lab is interested in investigating the mechanism behind metastasis of breast cancer. Metastasis is associated with what is called epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), the process characterized by loss of cell to cell adhesion and expression of epithelial markers such as keratin intermediate filament proteins, as you can see in the first three images of cells. Those filaments are keratins and they are critical for the shape and for maintaining mechanical integrity of epithelial cells via cell to cell complexes called desmosomes. Among different keratins, keratin 19 (K19) is highly expressed in many types of cancer including breast cancer, and is correlated with a worse prognosis (3). Consistently, K19 expression has been reported to be significantly higher in metastatic breast cancer tumor cells compared to primary tumors (4). The role of K19 on mechanical properties of cancer cells for cell migration and possible impact on metastasis in breast cancer patients is still unknown.

  • Multifaceted Physiological Roles of Adiponectin in Inflammation And
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Multifaceted Physiological Roles of Adiponectin in Inflammation and Diseases Hyung Muk Choi 1, Hari Madhuri Doss 1,2 and Kyoung Soo Kim 1,2,* 1 Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Kyung Hee University School of Medicine, Seoul 02447, Korea; [email protected] (H.M.C.); [email protected] (H.M.D.) 2 East-West Bone & Joint Disease Research Institute, Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong, Gandong-gu, Seoul 02447, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-961-9619 Received: 3 January 2020; Accepted: 10 February 2020; Published: 12 February 2020 Abstract: Adiponectin is the richest adipokine in human plasma, and it is mainly secreted from white adipose tissue. Adiponectin circulates in blood as high-molecular, middle-molecular, and low-molecular weight isoforms. Numerous studies have demonstrated its insulin-sensitizing, anti-atherogenic, and anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, decreased serum levels of adiponectin is associated with chronic inflammation of metabolic disorders including Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and atherosclerosis. However, recent studies showed that adiponectin could have pro-inflammatory roles in patients with autoimmune diseases. In particular, its high serum level was positively associated with inflammation severity and pathological progression in rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease, and inflammatory bowel disease. Thus, adiponectin seems to have both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects. This indirectly indicates that adiponectin has different physiological roles according to an isoform and effector tissue. Knowledge on the specific functions of isoforms would help develop potential anti-inflammatory therapeutics to target specific adiponectin isoforms against metabolic disorders and autoimmune diseases.

  • Bone-Specific Master Transcription Factor Runx2 Regulates Signaling and Metabolism Related Programs in Osteoprogenitors
    ISSN 0233-7657. Biopolymers and Cell. 2010. Vol. 26. N 4 Bone-specific master transcription factor Runx2 regulates signaling and metabolism related programs in osteoprogenitors N. M. Teplyuk1, 2, V. I. Teplyuk2 1University of Massachusetts Medical School 55, Lake Ave North, 01655, Worcester, MA, USA 2Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 150, Zabolotnogo str., Kiev, Ukraine, 03680 [email protected] Aim. Runx2 (AML3) transcription factor is the key regulator of osteoblastic lineage progression and is indispensable for the formation of mineral bones. Runx2 expression increases during differentiation of osteoblasts to induce osteoblast-specific genes necessary for the production and deposition of bone mineral matrix. However, Runx2 is also expressed at a lower level in early osteoprogenitors, where its function is less understood. Here we study how Runx2 determines the early stages of osteoblastic commitment using the model system of Runx2 re-introduction in mouse calvaria cells with Runx2 null background. Method. Affymetrix analysis, Western blot analysis and quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis were employed. Results. Gene expression profiling by Affymetrix microarrays revealed that along with the induction of extracellular matrix and bone mineral deposition related phenotypic markers, Runx2 regulates several cell programs related to signaling and metabolism in the early osteoprogenitors. Particularly, Runx2 regulates transcription of genes involved in G-protein coupled signaling network, FGF and BMP/TGF beta signaling pathways and in biogenesis and metabolism pathways of steroid hormones. Conclusion. The data indicate that the lineage specific program, regulated by the master regulatory transcription factor, includes the regulation of cellular signaling and metabolism which may allow the committed cell to react and behave differently in the same microenvironment.
