Description
Since the initial discovery that OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC overexpression sufficed for the induction of pluripotency in somatic cells, methodologies replacing the original factors have enhanced our understanding of the reprogramming process. However, unlike in mouse, OCT4 has not been replaced successfully during reprogramming of human cells. Here we report on a strategy to do so. Through a combination of transcriptome and bioinformatic analysis we have identified factors previously characterized as being lineage specifiers that are able to replace OCT4 and SOX2 in the reprogramming of human fibroblasts. Our results show that is possible to replace OCT4 and SOX2 simultaneously with alternative lineage specifiers in the reprogramming of human cells. At a broader level, they also support a model in which counteracting lineage specification networks underlie the induction of pluripotency,

Description
Here, we characterized the transcriptome of MCs under steady state, immunoglobulin E (IgE)-sensitized and anti-IgE-treated conditions. Overall design: MCs were left untreated or sensitized overnight with myeloma-IgE (0.5 µg/ml) and treated with anti-IgE (1 µg/ml) for 2h. RNA was isolated with Trizol and RNeasy columns and RNA-seq was performed.

Description
The aim of the current study was to identify molecular markers for articular cartilage that can be used for the quality control of tissue engineered cartilage. Therefore a genom-wide expression analysis was performed using RNA isolated from articular and growth plate cartilage, both extracted from the knee joints of minipigs.

Description
We explored the relationship between Myc activity and PI3K signaling in ESCs. Our data demonstrate that Myc and PI3K signaling function cooperatively for supporting pluripotent property of ESCs. Moreover, our data demonstrate that exposure of ESCs to 2i condition render both Myc and PI3K dispensable for preserving ESC status.

Description
Gliomas can originate upon transformation of adult Neural Progenitor Cells (NPCs) to Tumor Initiating Cells (TICs). Studies on human Glioma TICs (GTICs) have focused on the use of primary tumors from which GTICs could be isolated. Therefore investigations on the driver events underlying NPC transformation and human glioma initiation remain limited to the use of human embryonic material. Here we report on the development of strategies for the modeling of human gliomagenesis based on the use of human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (hiPSCs). Transformation of hiPSC-derived NPCs (iNPCs) by defined genetic alterations led to the establishment of tractable human GTIC models suitable for studying the early steps of gliomagenesis as well as for screening studies. Dysregulation of PI3K, MAPK and p53 signaling in iNPCs led to the acquisition of functional GTIC properties. In vivo transplantation led to the formation of highly aggressive, infiltrative and heterogeneous tumors upon limited dilutions and secondary transplantation, faithfully recapitulating gliomagenesis. Metabolic modulation by chemical approaches compromised GTIC viability. Pilot screening of 101 anti-cancer compounds identified 3 molecules specifically targeting transformed iNPCs and primary GTICs. Together, our results demonstrate the potential of hiPSCs for the functional testing of putative driver mutations underlying human tumorigenesis and pave new avenues for the development of personalized cancer therapeutics.

Description
Cancer originates as the progressive accumulation of genetic mutations in proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressors. However, the early events underlying tumor initiation remain largely elusive, mostly due to the general lack of information regarding the cells-of-origin responsible for tumor formation as well as the precise impacts of genetic insults on tumor initiation in vivo. Here, we demonstrate that Sox2-positive (Sox2+) adult stem cells are responsible for epithelial squamous tumor formation. Conditional expression of oncogenic Kras (KrasG12D) and knockout of p53 (also known as Trp53) in Sox2+ cells quickly and specifically resulted in the formation of squamous tumors in the forestomach and esophagus. GFP-based lineage tracing experiments demonstrated that Sox2+ cells are the cells-of-origin of squamous tumors in the esophagus and forestomach. Of note, our data showed that p53 deletion alone did not suffice for tumor initiation. On the contrary, tumor initiation was observed upon KrasG12D activation whereas p53 deletion further contributed to the malignancy of the generated tumors, pointing out distinct roles for Kras activation and p53 deletion in squamous tumor formation and progression, to which a multihit carcinogenesis model can be applied. Global gene expression analysis revealed secreting factors upregulated in the generated tumors induced by oncogenic Kras, which contribute to tumor progression. Taken together, these results demonstrate that epithelial squamous tumors can specifically originate as a consequence of defined genetic mutations in a Sox2+ cell population and highlight the connections between proliferative stem cells and tumor development in vivo.

Description
MAP kinases are integral to the mechanisms by which cells respond to a wide variety of environmental stresses. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the KGB-1 JNK signaling pathway regulates the response to heavy metal stress. The deletion mutants of this cascade show hypersensitivity to heavy metals like copper or cadmium. However, factors that function downstream of KGB-1 pathway are not well characterized.
