Description
Prdx2 is the thioredoxin-dependent peroxidase that reduces H2O2 using reducing power NADPH in the presence of thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase. Prdx2 plays an important role in growth. factor signaling in mammlian cells. Therefore, we examined the gene expression in colon adenocarcinoma cell line HT29 after Prdx2 depletion. Prdx2 depletion resulted in a significant alteration on gene expression, including protein synthesis, metabolisms, and cell cycle. Overall design: Control-siRNA-transfected versus PRDX2-siRNA-transfected HT29 and SW480 cells

Description
Although cancer stem cells (CSCs) are thought to be responsible for tumor recurrence and resistance to chemotherapy, CSC-related research and drug development have been hampered by the limited supply of patient-derived diverse CSCs. Here, we developed a functional polymer thin film (PTF) platform that promotes conversion of human cancer cell lines to highly tumorigenic spheroids without the use of biochemical or genetic manipulations. Culturing various human cancer cells on the specific PTF, poly(2,4,6,8-tetravinyl-2,4,6,8-tetramethyl cyclotetrasiloxane) (pV4D4), gave rise to numerous multicellular spheroids within 24 hours, with high efficiency and reproducibility. Cancer cells in the resulting spheroids showed an enormous increase in the expression of CSC-associated genes and acquired dramatically increased drug resistance compared with monolayer-cultured controls. These spheroids also showed greatly enhanced xenograft tumor-forming ability and metastasis capacity in nude mice. By enabling the generation of tumorigenic spheroids as a patient-derived CSC substitute, the surface platform described here will likely contribute to CSC-related basic research and drug development. Overall design: mRNA profiles of 8 day-SKOV3-ssiCSC spheroids and 2D-cultured SKOV3 control were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Hiseq-2500.

Description
nc886 is a 101 nucleotides long non-coding RNA that is also known as a precursor microRNA or a vault RNA. nc886 has been suggested to be a tumor suppressor, mainly inferred by its expression pattern as well as its genomic location at human chromosome 5q31, a locus for a tumor suppressor gene(s).

Description
Multipotent spermatogonial stem cells (mSSCs) derived from SSCs are a potential new source of individualized pluripotent cells in regenerate medicine such as ESCs. We hypothesized that the culture-induced reprogramming of SSCs was mediated by a mechanism different from that of iPS, and was due to up-regulation of specific pluripotency-related genes during cultivation. Through a comparative analysis of expression profile data, we try to find cell reprogramming candidate factors from mouse spermatogonial stem cells. We used microarrays to analyze the gene expression profiles of culture-induced reprogramming converting unipotent spermatogonial stem cells to pluripotent spermatogonial stem cells.

Description
Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) can spontaneously dedifferentiate into embryonic stem cell (ESC)-like cells, which are designated as multipotent SSCs (mSSCs), without ectopic expression of reprogramming factors. SSCs express key OSKM reprogramming factors at some levels, and do not require ectopic expression of any gene for the acquisition of pluripotency during reprogramming to mSSCs. Therefore, we reasoned that additional factors are required to regulate SSC reprogramming. In this study, we first compared the expression of reprogramming signature genes among somatic cells, iPSC, SSCs, mSSCs, and partially reprogramed cells, and found that they appear to have similar pluripotency states, whereas their transcriptional program differs. We developed a systems biology approach to prioritise genes for pluripotency regulatory factors by integrating transcriptome and interactome data on the genome-wide functional network. Then, we performed a series of systematic gene prioritisation steps and identified 53 candidates, which included some known reprogramming factors. We experimentally validated one particular candidate, Positive cofactor 4 (Pc4), which was expressed in PSCs and yielded a positive RNA interference (RNAi) response in an Oct4 reporter assay. We demonstrated that Pc4 enhanced the efficiency of OSKM-mediated reprogramming by promoting the transcriptional activity of key pluripotency factors, and by regulating the expression of many protein- and miRNA-encoding genes involved in reprogramming and somatic cell-specific genes. Overall design: Pc4-overexpressing mESC lines were established by Venus (YFP)-expressing lentiviral transfection. The mESCs were split at a density of 2 ´ 104 cells onto fresh MEF feeder cells seeded into a 6 well dish (containing mESC growth medium) with virus particles, and 25 µg/ml polybrene (Sigma Aldrich) was added. After 24 h, the medium was replaced with fresh growth medium. After 4 days later, mESC colonies expressing YFP were picked and replated. Three different Pc4-overexpressing mESC lines were established.

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the gene expression profiles of dental follicle and periodontal ligament in humans, which can possibly explain their functions of dental follicle and PDL such as eruption coordination and stress resorption. That may apply this information to clinical problem like eruption disturbance and to periodontal tissue engineering.

Sought to isolate multiple long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) specifically expressed during murine embryogenesis. Multiple tissue-specifically expressed lncRNAs were identified based on differential expression levels between telencephalon and whole body. Detailed funtional analysis of one of the lncRNAs were carried out, and a report is being prepared. Overall design: Total RNA was isolated from telencephalon and whole body and was subjected to RNAseq analysis. Differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified.

Description
The cell wall is a defining feature of plant cells and glues cells to each other. To overcome this physical constraint, plants must process and disconnect cell wall linkages during growth and development. However, little is known about the mechanism guiding cell-cell detachment and cell wall remodeling. Here, we identify two neighboring cell types in Arabidopsis that coordinate their activities to control cell wall processing, thereby ensuring precise abscission to discard organs. One cell type produces a honeycomb structure of lignin, which acts as a mechanical 'brace' to localize cell wall breakdown and spatially limit abscising cells. The second cell type undergoes transdifferentiation into epidermal cells, forming protective cuticle, demonstrating de novo specification of epidermal cells, previously thought to be restricted to embryogenesis. Loss of the lignin brace leads to inadequate cuticle formation, resulting in surface barrier defects and susceptible to infection. Altogether, we show how plants precisely accomplish abscission. Overall design: RECs (Residuum cells, abscission zone cells of the receptacle) and SECs (Secession cells, abscission zone cells of separated floral organs) were isolated using fluorescence-activated cell sorting of cells from transgenic plants harboring proQRT2::nlsGFP–GUS construct, and their transcriptomes were analyzed by RNA-sequencing.
