Description
Activation of telomerase often endows cancer cells, but rarely normal somatic cells, with immortality. Especially, fetal lung fibroblasts are known to be hardly immortalized by TERT overexpression. We here established an immortal non-transformed lung fibroblast cell line only by TERT transfection, as well as an immortal transformed cell line by transfection of TERT and SV40 early antigens. Comparing the expression profiles of these cell lines with those of mortal cell strains with elongated lifespan after TERT transfection, 51 genes, including 19 upregulated and 32 downregulated, were explored to be the candidates responsible for regulation of cellular proliferation of lung fibroblasts. These included the genes previously reported to be involved in cellular proliferation, transformation, or self-renewal capacity, and those highly expressed in lung tissues obtained from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or hypersensitivity pneumonitis. This set of lung fibrobrast cell lines/strains of identical genetic background with different proliferative capacity, mortal and immortal non-transformed fibroblasts may become useful model cells for research on lung fibroblast growth regulation and the candidate genes explored in this study may provide promising biomarkers or molecular targets of pulmonary fibrosis.

Description
c-Myc is one of key players that are crucially involved in maintaining the undifferentiated state and the self-renewal of ESCs. To understand the mechanism by which c-Myc helps preserve these prominent characteristics of ESCs, we generated null-ES cells for the Max gene, which encodes the best characterized partner protein for all Myc family proteins. Although Myc/Max complexes have been widely regarded as crucial regulators of the ESC status, our data reveal that ESCs do not absolutely require these complexes in so-called ground state or related conditons and that this requirement is restricted to conventional ES culture conditions without using a MAPK inhibitor.

Description
Nucleostemin (NS) gene is known to be expressed in stem cells in general including embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Previous knockdown and knockout studies have demonstrated that NS is important for the preservation of their self-renewality and high levels of pluripotent marker gene expression in mouse ESCs. In this study, we demonstrate that the forced expression of Nanog or Esrrb, but not other pluripotency factors, made NS expression dispensable in mouse ESCs. DNA microarray data deposited here underscored the notion that both Nanog and Esrrb could rather faithfully counteract the alteration of gene expression profile caused by NS expression ablation in ESCs.
Publication Title
Forced expression of Nanog or Esrrb preserves the ESC status in the absence of nucleostemin expression.

Description
Ablation of expression of the Max gene encoding a Myc protein partner in ES cells provoked two major phenomena, i.e. loss of pluripotency and apoptotic cell death. We found that nicotinamide (Nam) significantly alleviates these Max expression ablation-coupled phenotypes in ES cells. To see the alleviation effect of Nam on the overall expression profile of Max-null ES cells whose Max expression is controlled by the tet-off system, we eliminated Max expression by adding doxycycline (Dox) in the presence of Nam.

Description
In order to analyze the transcriptome characteristics of aldosterone producing cell clusters (APCC) we compared transcript abundances of APCC, zona glomerulosa (ZG), zona fasciculata (ZF), and zona reticularis (ZR), from adrenal glands obtained from 4 kidney transplantation donors. The frozen adrenal glands in O.C.T. compound were cut into 7um sections, and every 10-th section immunostained for aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2). The remaining sections were stained with cresyl violet and used for laser-capture microdissection of tissue to use in the array assays. APCC and ZG samples were captured from CYP11B2 positive regions based on the CYP11B2-stained sections. ZF and ZR were captured from lipid-rich cells in the middle layer and compact cells outside of the medulla, respectively. RNA was isolated using PicoPure RNA isolation kits (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). 1-10 ng total RNA was reverse-transcribed and amplified with the Ovation Pico WTA System V2 (NuGEN Technologies, San Carlos, CA). cDNA was purified using QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and biotin-labeled using Encore Biotin Module (NuGEN Technologies), followed by hybridization to GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Expression values were calculated using the robust multi-array average method (RMA). This resulted in base-2 log-transformed data for each of the 4 tissues from each of the 4 people. In addition to the raw and processed data we also supply a supplementary Excel file holding the data and some statistical analysis, which has features to make simple graphs, and holds probe-set annotation that we used at that time (users may wish to obtain new annotation though). We fit two-way ANOVA models with terms for 4 tissues and 4 people, and compared each probe-set between every pair of tissues using F-tests for pairwise contrasts. We modeled people effects since they were not negligible. The supplement shows how to calculate the tests.

Description
Partial induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs) are cell lines strayed from normal route from somatic cells to iPSCs and are immortalized. Mouse partial iPSCs are able to convert to real iPSCs by the exposure to 2i condition using MAPK and GSK3? inhibitors. However, the molecular mechanisms of this conversion are totally not known. Our piggyback vector mediated genome-wide screen revealed that Cnot2, one of core components of Ccr4-Not complex participates in this conversion. Subsequent analyses revealed other core components, i.e., Cnot1 and Cnot3 and Trim28 which is known to extensively share genomic binding sites with Cnot3 contribute to this conversion as well. Our bioinformatics analyses indicate that the major role of these factors in the conversion is the down-regulation of developmental genes in partial iPSCs.
