Introduction Pluripotency is characterised by continuous self-renewal while maintaining the potential to differentiate into cells of all three germ layers and was first described by Stevens LC. He published a technique of deriving stem cells from teratocarcinomas, termed embryonic carcinoma cells (ECCs) [158], and was further able to establish a stable cell line [79]. In 1981 two independent groups [45] succeeded in establishing mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) cultures by isolating pluripotent cells from the inner cell mass (ICM) of early mouse blastocysts and cultivating them in vitro using different techniques. They termed them ‘ESCs’ (embryonic stem cells) [45, 105]. Just less than 10 years later Thomson’s group published the establishment of ESCs lines derived from human blastocysts [172] and it was evident that there were major differences in the respective culture conditions. Since then, several seminal publications have been published revealing its increased progression and importance of stem cell research to mankind. Not surprisingly, the Nobel Prize in 2012 was given to two outstanding stem cell researchers Shin’ya Yamanaka and John Bertrand Gurdon. In 1962, J. B. Gurdon [62] delineated the transplantation of a nucleus obtained from differentiated intestinal epithelium of a donor Xenopus embryo, into an enucleated egg that finally gave rise to a normal developing tadpole. He concluded that nuclei of differentiated somatic cells contain the genetic information to ensure the differentiation programme during maturation and possess the ability to form all cell types. Later on, in 2006, S. Yamanaka [169] was able to reprogramme mouse embryonic and adult fibroblasts into a pluripotent state by adding four

  • Core Transcriptional Regulatory Circuitries in Cancer
    Oncogene (2020) 39:6633–6646 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41388-020-01459-w REVIEW ARTICLE Core transcriptional regulatory circuitries in cancer 1 1,2,3 1 2 1,4,5 Ye Chen ● Liang Xu ● Ruby Yu-Tong Lin ● Markus Müschen ● H. Phillip Koeffler Received: 14 June 2020 / Revised: 30 August 2020 / Accepted: 4 September 2020 / Published online: 17 September 2020 © The Author(s) 2020. This article is published with open access Abstract Transcription factors (TFs) coordinate the on-and-off states of gene expression typically in a combinatorial fashion. Studies from embryonic stem cells and other cell types have revealed that a clique of self-regulated core TFs control cell identity and cell state. These core TFs form interconnected feed-forward transcriptional loops to establish and reinforce the cell-type- specific gene-expression program; the ensemble of core TFs and their regulatory loops constitutes core transcriptional regulatory circuitry (CRC). Here, we summarize recent progress in computational reconstitution and biologic exploration of CRCs across various human malignancies, and consolidate the strategy and methodology for CRC discovery. We also discuss the genetic basis and therapeutic vulnerability of CRC, and highlight new frontiers and future efforts for the study of CRC in cancer. Knowledge of CRC in cancer is fundamental to understanding cancer-specific transcriptional addiction, and should provide important insight to both pathobiology and therapeutics. 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: Introduction genes. Till now, one critical goal in biology remains to understand the composition and hierarchy of transcriptional Transcriptional regulation is one of the fundamental mole- regulatory network in each specified cell type/lineage.

  • Regulation of Cardiac Progenitors by Combination of Mesp1 and ETS
    REGULATION OF CARDIAC PROGENITORS BY COMBINATION OF MESP1 AND ETS TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS A Dissertation by KUO-CHAN WENG Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Fen Wang Co-Chair of Committee, Robert J. Schwartz Committee Members, James F. Martin Jiang Chang Head of Department, Fen Wang May 2014 Major Subject: Medical Science Copyright 2014 Kuo-Chan Weng ABSTRACT Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. By understanding the regulating networks during cardiac development we can exploit those networks to manipulate adult cells into cardiac progenitors and provide an alternative for repairing diseased hearts. Mesp1 is considered to have critical roles during cardiac development but the molecular mechanisms need to be further studied. The roles of ETS transcription factors have been primarily limited to hematopoietic differentiation and cancer progression. The ETS transcription factors are known to have proliferating roles and were hypothesized to also be involved in cardiac differentiation and may potentially be used for cell reprogramming. The first part of this study characterizes the expression pattern of Mesp1 protein in early mouse embryo from E6.5 to E9.5 and provides a full expression profile in differentiating embryoid bodies in vitro from the undifferentiated stage to Day10. Our work showed Mesp1 expresses in the posterior region of E6.5 embryo then starts migrating through the primitive streak toward anterior mesoderm and endoderm in E7.5. A Mesp1 linage tracing ES cell line was established, and it allowed us to trace the Mesp1 derived cell population.

  • Detailed Review Paper on Retinoid Pathway Signalling
    1 1 Detailed Review Paper on Retinoid Pathway Signalling 2 December 2020 3 2 4 Foreword 5 1. Project 4.97 to develop a Detailed Review Paper (DRP) on the Retinoid System 6 was added to the Test Guidelines Programme work plan in 2015. The project was 7 originally proposed by Sweden and the European Commission later joined the project as 8 a co-lead. In 2019, the OECD Secretariat was added to coordinate input from expert 9 consultants. The initial objectives of the project were to: 10 draft a review of the biology of retinoid signalling pathway, 11 describe retinoid-mediated effects on various organ systems, 12 identify relevant retinoid in vitro and ex vivo assays that measure mechanistic 13 effects of chemicals for development, and 14 Identify in vivo endpoints that could be added to existing test guidelines to 15 identify chemical effects on retinoid pathway signalling. 16 2. This DRP is intended to expand the recommendations for the retinoid pathway 17 included in the OECD Detailed Review Paper on the State of the Science on Novel In 18 vitro and In vivo Screening and Testing Methods and Endpoints for Evaluating 19 Endocrine Disruptors (DRP No 178). The retinoid signalling pathway was one of seven 20 endocrine pathways considered to be susceptible to environmental endocrine disruption 21 and for which relevant endpoints could be measured in new or existing OECD Test 22 Guidelines for evaluating endocrine disruption. Due to the complexity of retinoid 23 signalling across multiple organ systems, this effort was foreseen as a multi-step process.

  • Modes of Interaction of KMT2 Histone H3 Lysine 4 Methyltransferase/COMPASS Complexes with Chromatin
    cells Review Modes of Interaction of KMT2 Histone H3 Lysine 4 Methyltransferase/COMPASS Complexes with Chromatin Agnieszka Bochy ´nska,Juliane Lüscher-Firzlaff and Bernhard Lüscher * ID Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Medical School, RWTH Aachen University, Pauwelsstrasse 30, 52057 Aachen, Germany; [email protected] (A.B.); jluescher-fi[email protected] (J.L.-F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-241-8088850; Fax: +49-241-8082427 Received: 18 January 2018; Accepted: 27 February 2018; Published: 2 March 2018 Abstract: Regulation of gene expression is achieved by sequence-specific transcriptional regulators, which convey the information that is contained in the sequence of DNA into RNA polymerase activity. This is achieved by the recruitment of transcriptional co-factors. One of the consequences of co-factor recruitment is the control of specific properties of nucleosomes, the basic units of chromatin, and their protein components, the core histones. The main principles are to regulate the position and the characteristics of nucleosomes. The latter includes modulating the composition of core histones and their variants that are integrated into nucleosomes, and the post-translational modification of these histones referred to as histone marks. One of these marks is the methylation of lysine 4 of the core histone H3 (H3K4). While mono-methylation of H3K4 (H3K4me1) is located preferentially at active enhancers, tri-methylation (H3K4me3) is a mark found at open and potentially active promoters. Thus, H3K4 methylation is typically associated with gene transcription. The class 2 lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) are the main enzymes that methylate H3K4. KMT2 enzymes function in complexes that contain a necessary core complex composed of WDR5, RBBP5, ASH2L, and DPY30, the so-called WRAD complex.

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.

While these subtypes are known to originate from the embryonic caudal ganglionic eminence (CGE), the specific genetic programs that direct their positioning, maturation, and integration into the cortical network have not been eluci- dated. Here, we report that in mice expression of the transcription factor Prox1 is selectively maintained in postmitotic CGE-derived cortical interneuron precursors and that loss of Prox1 impairs the integration of these cells into superficial layers. Moreover, Prox1 differentially regulates the postnatal maturation of each specific subtype originating from the CGE (RELN, Calb2/VIP, and VIP).

The existence of a multipotent progenitor for all anatomic and cellular components of the heart has been predicted but its identity and contribution to the two cardiac progenitor "fields" has remained undefined. Here we show, using clonal genetic fate mapping, that Mesp1+ cells in gastrulating mesoderm are rapidly specified into committed cardiac precursors fated for distinct anatomic regions of the heart. We identify Smarcd3 as a marker of early specified cardiac precursors and identify within these precursors a compartment boundary at the future junction of the left and right ventricles that arises prior to morphogenesis. Our studies define the timing and hierarchy of cardiac progenitor specification and demonstrate that the cellular and anatomical fate of mesoderm-derived cardiac cells is specified very early. These findings will be important to understand the basis of congenital heart defects and to derive cardiac regeneration strategies.
