Description
Transforming growth factor (TGF)- plays crucial roles in embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis by eliciting various cellular responses in target cells. TGF- signaling is principally mediated through receptor-activated Smad proteins, which regulate expression of target genes in cooperation with other DNA-binding transcriptionfactors (Smad cofactors). In this study, we found that the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Olig1 is a Smad cofactor involved in TGF-b-induced cell motility. Knockdown of Olig1 attenuated TGF--induced cell motility in chamber migration and wound healing assays. In contrast, Olig1 knockdown had no effect on bone morphogenetic protein-induced cell motility, TGF--induced cytostasis or epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Furthermore, we observed that cooperation of Smad2/3 with Olig1 is regulated by a peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase, Pin1. TGF-b-induced cell motility, induction of Olig1-regulated genes, and physical interaction between Smad2/3 and Olig1 were all inhibited after knockdown of Pin1, indicating a novel mode of regulation of Smad signaling. We also found that Olig1 interacts with the L3 loop of Smad3. Using a synthetic peptide corresponding to the L3 loop of Smad3, we succeeded in selectively inhibiting TGF-b-induced cell motility. These findings may lead to a new strategy for selective regulation of TGF-b-induced cellular responses.

Description
DNA methylation has been considered to play an important role during myogenic differentiation. In terminal differentiation of myoblasts, chronological alteration of DNA methylation status was poorly understood. Using Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChips, we validated genome wide DNA methylation profiles of human myoblast differentiation models. To investigate correlation between DNA methylation and gene expression, we also assessed gene expression of myoblasts with GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 array.

Description
We have examined the biological effect of EWS/ETS in human MPCs using UET-13 cells that are obtained by prolonging the lifespan of human bone marrow stromal cells using the retroviral transgenes hTERT and E7. By exploiting tetracycline-inducible systems for expressing EWS/ETS (EWS/FLI1 and EWS/ERG), we investigated candidates for genes whose expression is regulated by EWS/ETS in human MPCs.

Description
Maintaining endothelial cells (EC) as a monolayer in the vessel wall depends on a gene expression profile and the metabolic state, features influenced by contact with neighboring cells eg, pericytes and smooth muscle cells (SMC). Dysfunctional bone morphogenetic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2) signaling disrupts EC metabolism and monolayer formation and is associated with vascular diseases such as pulmonary arterial hypertension. We show that BMPR2 in either EC or SMC is required for contact-dependent activation of Notch1 in EC. Notch1, through the glycolysis inducer PFKFB3, mediates an increase in the citrate pool and histone acetylation required for Notch1 and MYC target gene expression. This maintains Notch1-dependent EC proliferative capacity, coordinating with Notch1 activation of mitochondria. We report how Notch1 and p300 binding to chromatin and H3K27ac status are influenced by glucose metabolism and regulate gene expression in endothelial cells. Overall design: Examination of RNA-sequencing in pulmonary artery endothelial cells with or without PFKFB3 silencing in contact co-culture with pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells.

Description
POU5F1 (more commonly known as Oct-4/3) is one of the stem cell markers and affects direction of differentiation in embryonic stem cells. To investigate whether cells of mesenchymal origin acquire embryonic phenotype, we generated a human cell line of mesodermal origin with overexpression of the chimeric POU5F1 gene with physiological co-activator EWS, which is driven by the potent EWS promoter by translocation. The cell line termed Pooh (POU5F1/Oct-4/3 overexpressing human) cells expressed embryonic stem cell genes such as Nanog and also non-translocated POU5F1, lost mesenchymal phenotypes, and exhibited embryonal stem cell-like alveolar structure when implanted into the subcutaneous tissue of immunodeficient mice. Hierarchical analysis by microchip analysis and cell surface analysis revealed that Pooh cells are subcategorized into the group of human embryonic stem cells and embryonal carcinoma cells. These results imply that cells of mesenchymal origin can partially be traced back to cells to embryonic phenotype by the POU5F1 gene in collaboration with the potent cis-regulatory element and the fused co-activator.

Description
Many neural progenitor cells present in the fetus, but also in adult brain, which play a major role for the reproduction for healingin regeneration of neuronal cells, when differentiated cells are damaged. However, effects of radiation effect on undifferentiated neural progenitor cells remained unclear. The radiation doses of medical exposure, pollution by nuclear power plant accidents, and other exposure of workers; medical workers, airline crews, and astronaut have been focused. In this study, we report the effects of low- to middle- dose doses of radiation on cultured human neural progenitor cells (hNPC) differentiated derived from embryonic stem (ES) cells, which are partially compared with those of human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC).
