Definitive hematopoiesis emerges via an endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region and placenta. We have recently demonstrated the induction of hematopoietic stem/progenitors (HSPCs) from mouse fibroblasts with a combination of transcription factors progressing through endothelial-like precursors. Here, guided by our in vitro programming experiments we analyzed mouse placentas for the presence of the precursor phenotype. We identified a small population of CD34+ Sca1+Prom1+ (34PS) cells in mid-gestation placentas that do not express the pan-hematopoietic marker CD45. After isolation and culture 34PS cells acquire CD45 and generate large hematopoietic as well as cobblestone colonies. Prom1+ cells localize to the placental vascular labyrinth where HSPCs emerge. 34PS cells express markers associated with the hemogenic endothelium (CD31, Tie2, VE-Cadherin, Sox17, Runx1, Scl) and also markers identified by direct induction (Itga6/CD49f). This population is heterogeneous for the early hematopoietic marker CD41 and expresses the programming transcription factors. Remarkably, global gene expression profiles of placental 34PS cells correlate with AGM-derived hemogenic endothelium and fibroblast-derived precursors. Finally, when co-cultured with stroma placental 34PS cells give rise to B/T lymphoid cells as well as mixed colonies containing erythroid, myeloid and megakaryocytic cell lineages. In summary, we show that direct in vitro conversion provided a cell surface phenotype for the isolation of hemogenic precursors in vivo. Our findings provide insights into the specification of definitive hemogenesis in the placenta, in depth characterization of hemogenic precursor populations and the first evidence that direct in vitro conversion approaches can be used as a valuable tool to address basic developmental questions in vivo.

View SamplesThese Affymetrix data were used to determine the role of each non-essential subunit of the conserved Ccr4-Not complex in the control of gene expression in the yeast S. cerevisiae. The study was performed with cells growing exponentially in high glucose and with cells grown to glucose depletion. Specific patterns of gene de-regulation were observed upon deletion of any given subunit, revealing the specificity of each subunits function. Consistently, the purification of the Ccr4-Not complex through Caf40p by tandem affinity purification from wild-type cells or cells lacking individual subunits of the Ccr4-Not complex revealed that each subunit had a particular impact on complex integrity. Furthermore, the micro-arrays revealed that the role of each subunit was specific to the growth conditions. From the study of only two different growth conditions, revealing an impact of the Ccr4-Not complex on more than 85% of all studied genes, we can infer that the Ccr4-Not complex is important for expression of most of the yeast genome.

View SamplesHigh-protein diets are known to reduce adiposity in the context of high carbohydrate and Western diets. However, few studies have investigated the specific high-protein effect on lipogenesis induced by a high-sucrose (HS) diet or fat deposition induced by high-fat feeding. We aimed to determine the effects of high protein intake on the development of fat deposition and partitioning in response to high-fat and/or HS feeding. A total of thirty adult male Wistar rats were assigned to one of the six dietary regimens with low and high protein, sucrose and fat contents for 5 weeks. Body weight (BW) and food intake were measured weekly. Oral glucose tolerance tests and meal tolerance tests were performed after 4th and 5th weeks of the regimen, respectively. At the end of the study, the rats were killed 2 h after ingestion of a calibrated meal. Blood, tissues and organs were collected for analysis of circulating metabolites and hormones, body composition and mRNA expression in the liver and adipose tissues. No changes were observed in cumulative energy intake and BW gain after 5 weeks of dietary treatment. However, high-protein diets reduced by 20 % the adiposity gain induced by HS and high-sucrose high-fat (HS-HF) diets. Gene expression and transcriptomic analysis suggested that high protein intake reduced liver capacity for lipogenesis by reducing mRNA expressions of fatty acid synthase (fasn), acetyl-CoA carboxylase a and b (Acaca and Acacb) and sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1c (Srebf-1c). Moreover, ketogenesis, as indicated by plasma -hydroxybutyrate levels, was higher in HS-HF-fed mice that were also fed high protein levels. Taken together, these results suggest that high-protein diets may reduce adiposity by inhibiting lipogenesis and stimulating ketogenesis in the liver.
