Description
The future clinical use of embryonic stem cell (ESC)-based hepatocyte replacement therapy depends on the development of an efficient procedure for differentiation of hepatocyes from ESCs. Here we report that a high density of human embryonic stem cell (ESC)-derived fibroblast-like cells (hESdFs) supported the efficient generation of hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) with functional and mature hepatic phenotypes from primate ESCs and human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Molecular and immunocytochemistry analyses revealed that hESdFs caused a rapid loss of pluripotency and induced a sequential endoderm-to-hepatocyte differentiation in the central area of ESC colonies. Knockdown experiments demonstrated that pluripotent stem cells were directed toward endodermal and hepatic lineages by FGF2 and Activin A secreted from hESdFs. Furthermore, we found that the central region of ESC colonies was essential for the hepatic endoderm-specific differentiation, as its removal caused a complete disruption of endodermal differentiation. In conclusion, we describe a novel in vitro differentiation model, and show that hESdF-secreted factors act in concert with regional features of ESC colonies to induce robust hepatic endoderm differentiation in primate pluripotent stem cells.

Description
The sialic glycoprotein, Mucin1, is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of various types of cancers. In a fraction of patients with multiple myeloma, their myeloma cells have high Mucin1 expression. We established a myeloma cell line designated EMM1 from a myeloma patient whose myeloma cells have high Mucin1 expression. Then we performed knockdown of Mucin1 to elucidate the role of the high Mucin1 expression. Overall design: we performed knockdown of Mucin1 to elucidate the role of the high Mucin1 expression. Knockdown of MUC1 in EMM1 cells induced cell cycle arrest during S phase and apoptosis in EMM1 cells. To elucidate the role of Mucin1 in EMM1 cells, we generated EMM1 cells lines expressing shMucin1 or control shRNA and performed RNA-seq analysis of the two cell lines and compared the differences in gene expressions.

We previously found a short sleeper mutant, fmn, and identified its mutation in the dopamine transporter gene. In an attempt to discover additional sleep related genes in Drosophila, we carried out a microarray analysis comparing mRNA expression in heads of fmn and control flies and found differentially expressed genes.

Description
We have compared the proteome, transcriptome and metabolome of two isogenic cell lines: MCF-10A, derived from human breast epithelium, and the mutant MCF-10A-H1047R. These cell lines differ by a single amino acid substitution (H1047R) caused by single nucleotide change in one allele of the PIK3CA gene which encodes the catalytic subunit p110a of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). The H1047R mutation of PIK3CA is one of the most frequently encountered somatic cancer-specific mutations. In MCF-10A, this mutation induces an extensive cellular reorganization that far exceeds the known signaling activities of PI3K. The changes are highly diverse; with examples in structural protein levels, the DNA repair machinery and sterol synthesis. Gene set enrichment analysis reveals a highly significant concordance of the genes differentially expressed in MCF-10A-H1047R cells and the established protein and RNA signatures of basal breast cancer. No such concordance was found with the specific gene signatures of other histological types of breast cancer. Our data document the power of a single base mutation, inducing an extensive remodeling of the cell toward the phenotype of a specific cancer. Overall design: 2 cell lines (H1047R and WT), 4 time points (0, 6, 12, 24 hours), 3 replicates

Description
Identification of cancer stem/initiating cells (CSCs/CICs) by a specific marker is useful for diagnosis and therapy of cancer. We have determined that PSF1 which plays a role in DNA replication in lower species is strongly expressed in wide range of normal stem cell population. Here, utilizing the transcriptional activity of PSF1 promoter in tumor cell xenograft model, we show that PSF1high cancer cells display malignant features including high proliferating activity, serial transplantation potential, and metastatic ability those are used for criteria of CSCs/CICs. PSF1high cancer cells localize in perivascular region and genetically display ES cell like signature. Silencing of PSF1 by RNAi inhibited growth of cancer cells mediated by disruption of DNA synthesis and chromosomal segregation. These suggested that PSF1 is a possible maker and a molecular target of CSCs/CICs.

To dissect the molecular mechanisms of PEA-15-mediated paclitaxel sensitization in ovarian cancer cells, we performed cDNA microarray analysis using SKOV3.ip1-S116A cells (Ser116 of PEA-15 substituted with alanine) and SKOV3.ip1-S116D cells (Ser116 of PEA-15 substituted with aspartic acid). cDNA microarray data analysis showed that SCLIP (SCG10-like protein), also known as STMN3, was highly expressed in SKOV3.ip1-S116D cells and was involved in pPEA-15-mediated paclitaxel sensitization in ovarian cancer cells.

Description
Indoxyl sulfate (IS) is a uremic toxin and ligand of the aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr), a transcriptional regulator. Elevated serum IS may contribute to the progression of kidney disease. Therefore, we assessed mouse podocyte damage mediated by IS. Ahr was predominantly localized to the podocyte nucleus in vivo and in vitro. In isolated glomeruli, IS-exposure for 2 24 h induced Cyp1a1 expression, the most sensitive biomarker of Ahr activation. Mice exposed to IS for 48 weeks exhibited microalbuminuria, and mild glomerular injury characterized by ischemic changes, partial podocyte foot process effacement, as well as vascular and tubulointerstitial damage. Chronically IS-exposed kidneys exhibited decreased mRNA, decreased protein levels, and altered staining patterns for podocin, synaptopodin, and non-muscle myosin IIA (Myh9). Immortalized podocytes, upon differentiation, exhibited Ahr nuclear translocation beginning 30 min after 1 mM IS-exposure. At 2 h, there was a dose-dependent decrease in podocyte mRNA expression of WT1, Podxl, Snypo, Myh9, Actn4, and Cd2ap. After 24 h of exposure to IS, podocytes were smaller, had fewer actin/Myh9 fibers, and decreased viability. Ahr-RNAi decreased mRNA expression of podocyte-specific proteins and inhibited Cyp1a1 induction by IS-exposure. Combinations of Ahr-RNAi and IS-exposure further decreased Myh9 expression. In immortalized human podocytes, IS treatment caused cell injury, decreased mRNA expression of podocyte-specific proteins, integrins, collagens, cytoskeletal proteins, and bone morphogenetic proteins, and increased cytokine and chemokine expression. Thus, chronic IS-exposure causes glomerular damage by activating Ahr, altering podocyte function, differentiation, and morphology, and inducing a pro-inflammatory phenotype.
