Description
Tissue repair using cell transplantation holds popular appeal. This underlines the need to understand stem cells within the target organ. Our laboratory works on the human brain. Using neurosphere methods, we and others have only been able to passage stem/progenitors a very few times with little expansion of numbers. Now we describe an efficient method for the establishment and propagation of human brain stem cells from whatever tissue samples we have tried. We describe virtually unlimited expansion of an authentic stem cell phenotype. Pluripotency markers Sox2 and Oct4 are expressed without artificial induction. For the first time, multipotency of adult human brain-derived stem cells is demonstrated beyond tissue boundaries. We characterize these cells in detail in vitro including microarray and proteomic approaches. Whilst clarification of these cells' behavior is ongoing, results so far portend well for the future repair of tissues by transplantation of an adult patient's own-derived stem cells.

Description
The simultaneous genotyping of tens of thousands of SNP using SNP microarrays is a very important tool that is revolutionizing genetics and molecular biology. In this work, we present a new application of this technique by using it to assess chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) as a means to assess the multiple genomic locations bound by a protein complex recognized by an antibody. We illustrate the use of this technique with an analysis of the change in histone H4 acetylation, a marker of open chromatin and transcriptionally active genomic regions, which occur during the differentiation of human myoblasts into myotubes. Our results are validated by the observation of a significant correlation between the histone modifications detected and the expression of the nearby genes, as measured by DNA microarrays.

Description
Trophoblast stem cells (TS cells), derived from the trophectoderm (TE) of blastocysts, require transcription factors (TFs) and external signals (Fgf4, Activin/Nodal/Tgfb) for self-renewal. While many reports have focused on TF networks that regulate embryonic stem cell (ES cell) self-renewal and pluripotency, little is know about TF networks that regulate self-renewal in TS cells. To further understand transcriptional networks in TS cells we used chromatin immunopreciptiation and DNA microarray analysis (ChIP-chip) to investigate targets of TFs Ap-2g (Tcfap2c), Eomes, Ets2, and Gata3, and a chromatin remodeling factor, Brg1 (Smarca4). We then evaluated the transcriptional states of target genes using transcriptome analysis and genome-wide analysis of histone H3 acetylation (AcH3). Our results describe previously unknown transcriptional networks in TS cells, including TF occupancy of genes involved in ES cell self-renewal and pluripotency, co-occupancy of multiple TFs at target genes, and transcriptional regulatory circuitry within the 5 factors. Through genome-wide mapping and global expression analysis of 5 TF target genes, our data provide a comprehensive analysis of transcriptional networks that regulate TS cell self-renewal.

Examination of transcriptional networks reveals an important role for TCFAP2C, SMARCA4, and EOMES in trophoblast stem cell maintenance.

Description
Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is important in maintaining self-renewal of embryonic stem (ES) cells and trophoblast stem (TS) cells. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) negatively control histone acetylation by removing covalent acetylation marks from histone tails. Because histone acetylation is a known mark for active transcription, HDACs presumably associate with inactive genes. Here, we used genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation to investigate targets of HDAC1 in ES cells and TS cells. Through evaluation of genes associated with acetylated histone H3 marks, and global expression analysis of Hdac1 knockout ES cells and trichostatin A treated ES cells and TS cells, we found that HDAC1 occupies mainly active genes, including important regulators of ES cell and TS cell self-renewal. By mapping HDAC1 targets on a global scale, our results describe further insight into epigenetic mechanisms of ES cell and TS cell self-renewal.

HDAC1 regulates pluripotency and lineage specific transcriptional networks in embryonic and trophoblast stem cells.
