Defects in neurogenesis are associated with neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders; therefore, elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying neurogenesis can advance our understanding of the pathophysiology of these disorders and facilitate the discovery of novel therapeutic targets. In this study, we performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis to identify common targets of the proneural transcription factors Neurog1/2 and Ascl1 during neurogenesis of human and mouse stem cells. We successfully identified C3orf70 as a novel common target gene of Neurog1/2 and Ascl1 during neurogenesis. Using in situ hybridization, we demonstrated that c3orf70a and c3orf70b, two orthologs of C3orf70, were expressed in the midbrain and hindbrain of zebrafish larvae.

  • CD Markers Are Routinely Used for the Immunophenotyping of Cells
    ptglab.com 1 CD MARKER ANTIBODIES www.ptglab.com Introduction The cluster of differentiation (abbreviated as CD) is a protocol used for the identification and investigation of cell surface molecules. So-called CD markers are routinely used for the immunophenotyping of cells. Despite this use, they are not limited to roles in the immune system and perform a variety of roles in cell differentiation, adhesion, migration, blood clotting, gamete fertilization, amino acid transport and apoptosis, among many others. As such, Proteintech’s mini catalog featuring its antibodies targeting CD markers is applicable to a wide range of research disciplines.

We explored an alternative carcinogenic pathway characterized by episomal E2, E4, and E5 (E2/E4/E5) expression. Half of HPV positive cervical and pharyngeal cancers comprised a subtype with increase in expression of E2/E4/ E5, as well as association with lack of integration into the host genome. Models of the E2/E4/E5 carcinogenesis show p53 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: dependent enhanced proliferation in vitro, as well as increased susceptibility to induction of cancer in vivo. Whole genomic expression analysis of the E2/E4/E5 pharyngeal cancer subtype is defined by activation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) pathway and this subtype is susceptible to combination FGFR and mTOR inhibition, with implications for targeted therapy.

ABSTRACT We developed and clinically validated a hybrid capture next generation sequencing assay to detect somatic alterations and microsatellite instability in solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. This targeted oncology assay utilizes tumor- normal matched samples for highly accurate somatic alteration calling and whole transcriptome RNA sequencing for unbiased identification of gene fusion events. The assay was validated with a combination of clinical specimens and cell lines, and recorded a sensitivity of 99.1% for single nucleotide variants, 98.1% for indels, 99.9% for gene rearrangements, 98.4% for copy number variations, and 99.9% for microsatellite instability detection. This assay presents a wide array of data for clinical management and clinical trial enrollment while conserving limited tissue.

The immune complexes are deposited in the glomerular mesangium, leading to inflammation and loss of renal function, but the complete pathophysiology of the disease is not understood. Using an integrated global transcriptomic and proteomic profiling approach, we investigated the role of the mesangium in the onset and progression of IgAN. Global gene expression was investigated by microarray analysis of the glomerular compartment of renal biopsy specimens from patients with IgAN (n=19) and controls (n=22). Using curated glomerular cell type–specific genes from the published literature, we found differential expression of a much higher percentage of mesangial cell–positive standard genes than podocyte-positive standard genes in IgAN. Principal coordinate analysis of expression data revealed clear separation of patient and control samples on the basis of mesangial but not podocyte cell–positive standard genes.

  • Binding of Pregnancy-Specific Glycoprotein 17 to CD9 On
    Binding of pregnancy-specific glycoprotein 17 to CD9 on macrophages induces secretion of IL-10, IL-6, PGE2, ␤ and TGF- 1 Cam T. Ha,* Roseann Waterhouse,* Jennifer Wessells,† Julie A. Wu,* and Gabriela S. Dveksler*,1 *Department of Pathology, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland; and †Laboratory of Protein Dynamics and Signaling, National Cancer Institute-Frederick, Maryland Abstract: Pregnancy-specific glycoproteins (PSGs) inally isolated from the circulation of pregnant women [1]. are a family of secreted proteins produced by the PSGs are detected in maternal blood as early as 7 days post- placenta, which are believed to have a critical role implantation. The serum levels of these proteins reach up to in pregnancy success. Treatment of monocytes 200–400 ␮g/ml at term, far exceeding the concentration of with three members of the human PSGs induces human chorionic gonadotropin and ␣ fetoprotein [2]. Treatment interleukin (IL)-10, IL-6, and transforming growth of monkeys and mice with anti-PSG antibodies resulted in ␤ ␤ factor- 1 (TGF- 1) secretion. To determine whether spontaneous abortion [3, 4], and abnormally low levels of PSGs human and murine PSGs have similar functions are associated with several serious complications of pregnancy, and use the same receptor, we treated wild-type including fetal hypoxia, fetal growth retardation, pre-eclamp- and CD9-deficient macrophages with murine sia, and spontaneous abortion [5–8]. PSG homologues have PSG17N and human PSG1 and -11. Our data show been identified in mice, rats, and primates [9–11]. that murine PSG17N induced secretion of IL-10, We have previously shown that treatment of human mono- ␤ IL-6, prostaglandin E2, and TGF- 1 and that CD9 cytes with recombinant human (rh)PSG1, PSG6, and PSG11 expression is required for the observed induction induced the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines [12].
