We aimed to identify a reprogramming factor in mammalian oocytes. DJ-1 is one candidate gene of the factor. Inhibition of DJ-1 function in nuclear transfer embryos affected developmental abilities. The downstream effect of this DJ-1 inhibition was examined using microarrays.
Identification and characterization of an oocyte factor required for development of porcine nuclear transfer embryos.

View SamplesWe characterized the Drosophila third instar eye disc using single cell RNA-seq and labelled the multiple cell populations. The results identified a novel transcriptional switch in photoreceptors relating to axonal projections. We then performed single cell RNA-seq on rbf (Rb) mutants and compared the results to the WT cell populations. This identified a specific cell population only in the Rb mutant tissue. This cell population has an upregulation of HIF1A and glycolitic genes such as Aldolase and Lactate dehydrogenase. As a result these cells produce lactate and undergo apoptosis. We also show this process to be directly regulated by E2F/Dp. The paper uncovers a novel metabolic aspect of Rb/E2F dependent apoptosis.

View SamplesIn the past few years, mammary cancer initiating cells (CICs) have been identified in mouse and human as a subpopulation of tumor cells that selectively posses tumor initiation and self-renewal capacity and the ability to give rise to bulk populations of non-tumorigenic cancer cells progeny through differentiation. They could also be responsible for tumor progression, metastasis, resistance to therapy and recurrence. Thus, the understanding of the pathways regulating CIC self-renewal, differentiation and tumorigenicity represents an important task in the development of effective anticancer therapies.

View SamplesThe etiology of trauma-hemorrhage shock-induced acute lung injury has been difficult to elucidate due, at least in part, to the inability of in vivo studies to separate the non-injurious pulmonary effects of trauma-hemorrhage from the tissue injurious ones. To circumvent this in vivo limitation, we utilized a model of trauma-hemorrhagic shock (T/HS) in which T/HS-lung injury was abrogated by dividing the mesenteric lymph duct. In this way, it was possible to separate the pulmonary injurious response from the non-injurious systemic response to T/HS by comparing the pulmonary molecular response of rats subjected to T/HS which did and did not develop lung injury as well as to non-shocked rats. Utilizing high-density oligonucleotide arrays and treatment group comparisons of whole lung tissue collected at 3 hours after the end of the shock or sham-shock period, 139 of the 8,799 assessed genes were differentially expressed.
