The purpose of this study was to determine whether the serum condition affected the gene expression in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)over time. To that end, we compared gene expression in MSCs maintained in regular growth medium supplemented with fetal calf serum (FCS) for 10 passages with gene expression of MSCs cultured in the same conditions for 4 passages for 2 different donors (i.e. donor3 and donor4). Likewise, we compared gene expression in MSCs maintained in regular growth medium supplemented with autologous serum(AS) for 10 passages with gene expression of MSCs cultured in the same conditions for 4 passages for the same 2 donors (i.e. donor3 and donor4). MSCs were cultured in FCS- or AS-supplemented medium and were analyzed at passage 4 and at passage 10.

View SamplesAnalysis of Ubb knockout mouse testes at 7, 4, 21, and 28 dpp. Ubiquitin (Ub) is an essential protein found in all eukaryotic cells and plays important roles in a variety of cellular functions including germ cell development. Targeted disruption of the polyubiquitin gene Ubb results in male and female infertility in mice with germ cells arrested at meiotic prophase I.

View SamplesSelenoproteins mediate the cancer-preventive properties of the essential nutrient selenium, but also have cancer-promoting effects. We examined the contributions of the 15-kDa selenoprotein (Sep15) and thioredoxin reductase 1 (TR1) to cancer development. Targeted down-regulation of either gene inhibited anchorage-dependent and anchorage-independent growth and cancer metastasis of mouse colon carcinoma CT26 cells. Surprisingly, combined deficiency of Sep15 and TR1 reversed the anti-cancer effects observed with down-regulation of each single gene. We found that inflammation-related genes regulated by Stat-1, especially the interferon-gamma-regulated guanylate-binding proteins, were highly elevated in Sep15-deficient cells. In contrast, the Wnt/Beta-catenin pathway was up-regulated in cells that lacked both TR1 and Sep15. These results suggest that Sep15 and TR1 participate in interfering regulatory pathways in colon cancer cells. Considering the variable expression levels of Sep15 and TR1 found within the human population, and controversial results of recent human clinical trials involving dietary selenium, our results are important to general public health.

View SamplesOne of the most common genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia is the internal tandem duplication (ITD) in the FLT3 receptor for cytokine FLT3 ligand (FLT3L). The constitutively active FLT3-ITD promotes the expansion of transformed progenitors, but also has pleiotropic effects on normal hematopoiesis. We analyzed the effect of FLT3-ITD on dendritic cells (DCs), which express FLT3 and can be expanded by FLT3L administration. We report that young pre-leukemic mice with the Flt3ITD knock-in allele manifest an expansion of all DCs including classical (cDCs) and plasmacytoid (pDCs). The expansion originated in DC progenitors, occurred in a cell-intrinsic manner and was further enhanced in Flt3ITD/ITD mice. The mutation caused the downregulation of Flt3 on the surface of DCs and reduced their responsiveness to Flt3L. Flt3ITD mice showed enhanced capacity to support T cell proliferation, including a cell-extrinsic expansion of regulatory T cells (Tregs). Accordingly, these mice restricted alloreactive T cell responses during graft-versus-host reaction, but failed to control autoimmunity in the absence of Tregs. Thus, the FLT3-ITD mutation directly affects DC development, thereby indirectly modulating T cell homeostasis and supporting Treg expansion. This effect of FLT3-ITD may subvert immunosurveillance and promote leukemogenesis in a cell-extrinsic manner. Overall design: Sorted splenic dendritic cell subsets from either Flt3+/+ or Flt3ITD/+ mice were sequenced for mRNA profiling. For each subset per genotype contains 2-3 replicates, all from independent experiments.

View SamplesT cell development relies on the precise developmental control of various cellular functions for appropriate positive and negative selection. Previously, gene expression profiling of peptide-driven negative selection events in the N15 TCR class I MHC-restricted mouse and D011.10 TCR class II MHC-restricted mouse has offered insights into the coordinate engagement of biological processes affecting thymocyte development. However, there has been little comparable detailed in vivo global genome expression analysis reported for positive selection.
