Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their cellular response to various stimuli have been characterized in great detail in culture conditions. In contrast, the cellular response of MSCs in an in vivo setting is still uncharted territory. In this study, we investigated the cellular response of MSCs following transplantation into spinal cord injury (SCI).Mouse bone marrow-derived MSCs were transplanted 24h following severe contusion SCI in mice. As controls, MSCs transplanted to uninjured spinal cord and non-transplanted MSCs were used. At seven days post transplantation, the MSCs were isolated from the SCI, and their global transcriptional changes investigated using RNA-sequencing. We found that MSCs transplanted into SCI down-regulate their response to cytokines, tendency to adhere and to undergo phagocytosis but up-regulate their ability to repair DNA and proliferate. Overall design: Evaluation of transcriptional changes in transplanted mesenchymal stem cells.
Mesenchymal stem cells transplanted into spinal cord injury adopt immune cell-like characteristics.

View SamplesDuring organogenesis of the intestine, reciprocal crosstalk between the endodermally-derived epithelium and the underlying mesenchyme is required for regional patterning and proper differentiation. Though both of these tissue layers participate in patterning, the mesenchyme is thought to play a prominant role in the determination of epithelial phenotype during development and in adult life. However, the molecular basis of this instructional dominance is unclear. In fact, surprisingly little is known about the cellular origins of many of the critical signaling molecules and the gene transcriptional events that they impact. Here, we profile genes that are expressed in separated mesenchymal and epithelial compartments of the perinatal mouse intestine. The data indicate that the vast majority of soluble modulators of signaling pathways such as Hedgehog, Bmp, Wnt, Fgf and Igf are expressed predominantly or exclusively by the mesenchyme, accounting for its ability to dominate instructional crosstalk. We also catalog the most highly enriched transcription factors in both compartments and find evidence for a major role for Hnf4alpha and Hnf4 gamma in the regulation of epithelial genes. Finally, we find that while epithelially enriched genes tend to be highly tissue-restricted in their expression, mesenchymally-enriched genes tend to be broadly expressed in multiple tissues. Thus, the unique tissue-specific signature that characterizes the intestinal epithelium is instructed and supported by a mesenchyme that itself expresses genes that are largely non-tissue specific.

View SamplesRecently, we identified a population of Oct4+Sca-1+Lin-CD45- very small embryonic-like stem-cells (VSELs) in adult tissues. Open chromatin structure of pluripotency genes and genomic imprinting-related epigenetic mechanisms maintain pluripotency and quiescence of VSELs, respectively. However, global transcriptome signature of this rare stem-cell population remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate by genomewide gene-expression analysis with a small number of highly purified murine bone-marrow (BM)-derived VSELs, that Oct4+ VSELs i) express a similar, yet nonidentical, transcriptome as embryonic stem-cells (ESCs), ii) up-regulate cell-cycle checkpoint genes, iii) down-regulate genes involved in protein turnover and mitogenic pathways, and iv) highly express Ezh2, a polycomb group protein.
Global gene expression analysis of very small embryonic-like stem cells reveals that the Ezh2-dependent bivalent domain mechanism contributes to their pluripotent state.

View SamplesEpithelial Hedgehog (Hh) ligands regulate several aspects of fetal intestinal organogenesis and emerging data implicate the Hh pathway in inflammatory signaling in adult colon. We investigated the effects of chronic Hh inhibition in vivo and profiled molecular pathways acutely modulated by Hh signaling in the intestinal mesenchyme.
