Description
Xylem consists of three types of cells: vessel cells, also referred to as tracheary elements (TEs), parenchyma cells, and fiber cells. TE differentiation includes two essential processes, programmed cell death (PCD) and secondary cell wall formation. These two processes are tightly coupled. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism of their gene regulation. Here, we show that VASCULAR-RELATED NAC-DOMAIN 6 (VND6), a master regulator of TEs, regulates these processes in a coordinated manner. We first identified specific genes downstream of VND6 by comparing them with those of SECONDARY WALL-ASSOCIATES NAC DOMAIN PROTEIN1 (SND1), a master regulator of xylem fiber cells, with transformed suspension culture cells in microarray experiments.

Description
Plant vascular tissues are essential for the existence of land plants. Many studies have revealed the process underlying the development of vascular tissues. However, the initiation of vascular development is still a mystery. LONESOME HIGHWAY (LHW), which encodes a bHLH transcription factor, is expressed in the initial step of vascular development in roots. LHW and TMO5 LIKE1 (T5L1) interact each other and function as a heterodimer. Here, we identified specific genes downstream of LHW-T5L1 with transformed suspension culture cells in microarray experiments.

Description
Circadian clock oscillation emerges in mouse embryo in the later developmental stages. Although circadian clock development is closely correlated with cellular differentiation, the mechanisms of its emergence during mammalian development are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate an essential role of the post-transcriptional regulation of Clock subsequent to the cellular differentiation for the emergence of robust circadian clock oscillation in mouse fetal hearts and mESCs (mouse embryonic stem cells). In mouse fetal hearts, no apparent oscillation of cell-autonomous molecular clock was detectable in around embryonic day (E) 10 whereas robust oscillation was clearly visible in E18 heart. Temporal RNA-seq analysis using mouse fetal hearts reveals much fewer rhythmic genes in E10-12 hearts (63, no clock genes) than E17-19 (483 genes), indicating the lack of functional circadian clocks in E10 mouse fetal hearts. In both mESCs and E10 embryos, CLOCK protein was absent despite the expression of Clock mRNA, which we showed was at least partially due to miRNA-mediated translational suppression of CLOCK. The CLOCK protein is required for the robust molecular oscillation in differentiated cells, and the post-transcriptional regulation of Clock plays a key role in setting the timing for the emergence of the circadian clock oscillation during mammalian development.

Description
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 (HNF4, NR2A1) is a nuclear receptor which has a critical role in hepatocyte differentiation and the maintenance of homeostasis in the adult liver. However, a detailed understanding of native HNF4 in the steady state remains to be elucidated. Here we report the native HNF4 isoforms, phosphorylation status and complexes in the steady state, as shown by shotgun proteomics in HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells. Shotgun proteomic analysis revealed the complexity of native HNF4, including multiple phosphorylation sites and inter-isoform heterodimerization. The associating complexes identified by label-free semi-quantitative proteomic analysis include the following: the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit, histone acetyltransferase complexes, mRNA splicing complex, other nuclear receptor coactivator complexes, the chromatin remodeling complex, and the nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylation complex. Among the associating proteins, GRB10 interacting GYF protein 2 (GIGYF2, PERQ2) is a new candidate cofactor in metabolic regulation. Moreover, an unexpected heterodimerization of HNF4 and Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 was found. A biochemical and genome-wide analysis of transcriptional regulation showed that this heterodimerization activates gene transcription. The genes thus transcribed include the cell death-inducing DEF45-like effector b (CIDEB) gene, which is an important regulator of lipid metabolism in the liver. This suggests that the analysis of the distinctive stoichiometric balance of native HNF4 and its cofactor complexes described here is important for an accurate understanding of transcriptional regulation.

Description
To delineate the role of hypoxia in esophageal epithelial biology, we carried out gene array experiments using a non-transformed immortalized diploid human esophageal cell line, EPC2-hTERT (Mol Cancer Res. 2003;1:729-38). Unlike cancer cell lines, EPC2-hTERT has no genetic alterations at early passages that may affect the cellular response to hypoxia.

Description
HOX genes encode a family of homeodomain-containing transcription factors involved in the determination of cell fate and identity during embryonic development. They also behave as oncogenes in some malignancies. In this study, we found high expression of the HOXD9 gene transcript in glioma cell lines and human glioma tissues by quantitative real-time PCR. Using immunocytochemistry, we observed HOXD9 protein expression in human brain tumor tissues, including astrocytomas and glioblastomas. To investigate the role of HOXD9 in gliomas, we silenced its expression in the glioma cell line U87 using HOXD9-specific siRNA, and observed decreased cell proliferation, cell cycle arrest, and induction of apoptosis. It was suggested that HOXD9 contributes to both cell proliferation and/or cell survival. The HOXD9 gene was highly expressed in a side population (SP) of SK-MG-1 cells that was previously identified as an enriched-cell fraction of glioma cancer stem-like cells. HOXD9 siRNA treatment of SK-MG-1 SP cells resulted in reduced cell proliferation. Finally, we cultured human glioma cancer stem cells (GCSCs) from patient specimens found with high expression of HOXD9 in GCSCs compared with normal astrocyte cells and neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs). Our results suggest that HOXD9 may be a novel marker of GCSCs and cell proliferation and/or survival factor in gliomas and glioma cancer stem-like cells, and a potential therapeutic target.
