View Samplesc-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.

View SamplesAblation 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.
Sirt1, p53, and p38(MAPK) are crucial regulators of detrimental phenotypes of embryonic stem cells with Max expression ablation.

View SamplesEpithelia of small and large intestines differ in their structures and functions. Such heterogeneity between these two epithelial tissues might be controlled by both epithelium-intrinsic and -extrinsic programs. By employing the cell transplantation technique developed in our laboratory, we investigated how adult SI epithelial cells behave when heterotopically transplanted onto colon. Then the gene expression profiles of small intestinal epithelium heterotopically transplanted onto colon and control colonic epithelium were compared.
Small intestinal stem cell identity is maintained with functional Paneth cells in heterotopically grafted epithelium onto the colon.

View Samples3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, statins, are known to exert endothelial athero-protective effects through the induction of specific transcriptional factors and their downstream target genes besides lowering LDL-cholesterol. However its critical mechanism has not still been elucidated. Here we report the comprehensive change of transcripts induced by pitavastatin.

View SamplesKLF2 and KLF4 are important transcriptional factors in endothelial cells, however their roles in statin treatment has not been elucidated. Here we report the comprehensive change of transcripts of statin treated HUVECs transfected with siRNA KLF2 or KLF4.

View SamplesSamples were taken from colorectal cancers in surgically resected specimens in 35 colorectal cancer patients. The expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. Comparison between the sample groups allow to identify a set of discriminating genes that can be used for molecular markers for CIN phynotype.
Chromosomal instability (CIN) phenotype, CIN high or CIN low, predicts survival for colorectal cancer.
