Analysis of mouse primary natural killer (NK) cells and NK cells treated with DKK2 for 24 hours.Sequencing of the mRNAs from DKK2-treated primary NK cells in comparison of those from mock-treated cells suggest an alteration in STAT signaling. Overall design: Mouse primary NK cells were isolated from the spleens and cultured in the presence of 50 ng/ml recombinant murine IL-15 for 24 hours. And then NK cells were treated with mock or 200ng/ml DKK2 for another 24 hours before mRNA was isolated and purified by using RNeasy Plus Mini Kit (Qiagen). A total of two groups of Control NK cells and two groups of DKK2-treated NK cells were individually micromanipulated.

Loss of the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Factor GATA2 in the Osteogenic Lineage Impairs Trabecularization and Mechanical Strength of Bone.
Cell line
View SamplesGATA2 is a transcription factor that is required for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) differentiation. GATA2 is also expressed in mesenchymal cells and blocks differentiation of both white and brown adipocytes by interfering with C/EBP activity and PPAR expression. By studying genome-wide binding sites of endogenous GATA2 in mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), we discovered a previously unrecognized function of GATA2 in the regulation of skeletal development-related genes. In contrast to hematopoietic stem cells, canonical GATA2 binding motifs in MSCs co-localized with motifs for transcription factors of the FOX and HOX family, known regulators of skeletal development. Consistently, ectopic GATA2 expression in MSCs regulated many osteoblast-related genes. Ectopic GATA2 blocked, whereas GATA2 deletion enhanced differentiation of osteoblastic precursors. GATA2 expression inhibited bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 induced SMAD1/5/8 activity, a pathway that drives osteoblastogenesis. MSC-specific deletion of GATA2 in mice affected both numbers and osteogenic potential of bone-residing precursors without disturbing normal skeletal development. In adult mice, MSC-specific GATA2 deficiency affected trabecular bone structure and its mechanical properties. blood phenotype? In summary, our study identified GATA2 as a novel regulator of osteoblast differentiation and bone morphology, suggesting a role of GATA2 in MSC lineage determination that goes beyond adipocyte differentiation.

We hypothesised that A-CRLPs could differentially regulate HAEC gene expression according to thier triglyceride content. These data provide an important starting point for investigations into the effects of A-CRLPs on endothelial cells, particulary genes involved in redox balance and inflammatory processes.

View SamplesHow the various cell-types of the body achieve their specific shapes is fundamentally unknown. Here, we explore this issue by identifying genes involved in the elaboration of the complex, yet conserved, cellular morphology of Müller glial (MG) cells in the retina. Using genomic based strategies in zebrafish, we found more than 40 candidate genes involved in specific aspects of MG morphogenesis. The successive steps of cell morphogenesis correlate with the timing of the expression of cohorts of inter-related genes that have roles in generating the particular anatomical features of these cells, suggesting that a sequence of genetic regulomes govern stepwise cellular morphogenesis in this system. Overall design: 12 samples with three replicates each are provided. GFAP:GFP positive and negative cells were FAC sorted from wild type animals from each developmental stage

View SamplesThe pattern of gene transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is strongly affected by the presence of glucose. An increased activity of protein kinase A (PKA), triggered by a rise in the intracellular concentration of cAMP, can account for many of the effects of glucose on transcription. To investigate the requirement of PKA for glucose control of gene expression, we have analyzed global transcription in strains devoid of PKA activity. In S. cerevisiae three genes, TPK1, TPK2, TPK3, encode catalytic subunits of PKA and the triple mutant tpk1 tpk2 tpk3 is unviable. We have worked, therefore, with two strains, tpk1 tpk2 tpk3 yak1 and tpk1 tpk2 tpk3 msn2 msn4, that bear suppressor mutations,. We have identified different classes of genes that can be induced, or repressed, by glucose in the absence of PKA. Among these genes, some are also controlled by a redundant signalling pathway involving PKA activation, while others do not respond to an increase in cAMP concentration. On the other hand, among genes which do not respond to glucose in the absence of PKA, some show a full response to increased cAMP levels, even in the absence of glucose, while others appear to require the cooperation of different signalling pathways.
