Neural stem cells (NSC) with self-renewal and multipotent properties serve as an ideal cell source for transplantation to treat spinal cord injury, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases. To efficiently induce neuronal lineage cells from NSC for neuron replacement therapy, we should clarify the intrinsic genetic programs involved in a time and place-specific regulation of human NSC differentiation. Recently, we established an immortalized human NSC clone HB1.F3 to provide an unlimited NSC source applicable to genetic manipulation for cell-based therapy. To investigate a role of neurogenin 1 (Ngn1), a proneural basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, in human NSC differentiation, we established a clone derived from F3 stably overexpressing Ngn1. Genome-wide gene expression profiling identified 250 upregulated genes and 338 downregulated genes in Ngn1-overexpressing F3 cells (F3-Ngn1) versus wild-type F3 cells (F3-WT). Notably, leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5), a novel stem cell marker, showed a robust increase in F3-Ngn1.

View SamplesThe dermal papilla plays a key role in the regulation of the hair biology. Accordingly, human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs) may be functionally impaired in female pattern hair loss. A previous observation that beta-estradiol (E2) increased hair density in ovariectomized mice suggested that E2 might modulate the biological properties of hDPCs. Therefore, to further explore the effect of E2 on hDPCs, a global gene expression analysis was conducted.

View SamplesPolyglutamine(polyQ) expansion of 1A voltage-dependent calcium channel (Cav2.1) is the causative mutation of spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6). The C-terminal fragment (CTF) of Cav2.1 makes aggregates in the cytoplasm of SCA6 Purkinje cells and may relate to the pathogenesis. In order to identify genes associated with polyQ expansion and subcellular localization of CTF, we analyzed gene expression profiles of PC12 rat pheochromocytoma cells using Tet-off system.
Cytoplasmic location of α1A voltage-gated calcium channel C-terminal fragment (Cav2.1-CTF) aggregate is sufficient to cause cell death.

View SamplesPancreatic islet transplantation was performed in the subcutaneous space of diabetic nude mice. In order to promote long survival and function of transplanted islets a plasma-based scaffold was developed in combination with fibroblasts as graft-supporting accesory cells. Gene expression analysis was carried out to evaluate expression differences due to the presence of fibroblast which could explain the long-term glycemic control observed under these circumstances.
Fibroblasts accelerate islet revascularization and improve long-term graft survival in a mouse model of subcutaneous islet transplantation.

View SamplesPeriostin participates in different processes involved in connective tissue homeostasis. It is also involved in repairment of damaged tissues. We used the osteoblast murine cell line MC3T3-E1 cell line to show how overexpresion of periostin is able to increase their adhesion properties while diminishing their migration capacity. By differential gene expression we evaluated putative targets involved in those cellular properties.
