Estrogen-Related Receptor alpha (ERR) is a nuclear receptor that acts principally as a regulator of metabolism processes particularly in tissues subjected to high-energy demand. Besides its implication in energy metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis, ERR was recently associated with tumorigenesis. Notably, increased expression of ERR was noted in different cancerous tissues as breast, ovary and colon. However, supplemental studies are required to better understand the role of ERR in colon carcinoma.

View SamplesAdoptive T-cell Therapy (ACT) involves using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) isolated from metastatic melanoma and expanding them ex vivo prior to infusion into lympho-depleted patients. This is one of the most promising approaches to treat metastatic melanoma, with the rates of clinical response between 48-50% based on studies done at NCI, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX), and Sheba Medical Center (Tel Aviv, Israel). In the Phase II ACT Trial at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center , our group has uncovered an association between positive clinical response and the amount of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes expressing B and T Lymphocyte Attenuator (BTLA), a reported inhibitory receptor on T-cells.
BTLA marks a less-differentiated tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte subset in melanoma with enhanced survival properties.

DIDO as a Switchboard that Regulates Self-Renewal and Differentiation in Embryonic Stem Cells.
Specimen part
View SamplesTransition from symmetric to asymmetric cell division requires precise coordination of differential gene expression. Embryonic stem cells (ESC) strongly express Dido3, whose C-terminal truncation impedes ESC differentiation while retaining self-renewal. We show that Dido3 binds to its gene locus via H3K4me3 and RNA pol II and, at differentiation onset, induces expression of its splice variant Dido1, which then leads to Dido3 degradation and downregulation of stemness genes. We propose that Dido isoforms act as a switchboard to regulate genetic programs for ESC transition from pluripotency maintenance to promotion of differentiation.

View SamplesPdgfra-expressing (Pdgfra+) cells have been implicated as progenitors in many mesenchymal tissues. To further characterize Pdgfra+ cells during alveologensis, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) analysis using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) sorted GFP+ cells from Pdgfra-GFP lungs at P7 and P15. Overall design: We perfomed 10X genomics single-cell RNA-seq of Pdgfra-GFP+ cells at P7 and P15
