DU145 prostate cancer cells were treated with 25 ng/ml hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) or vehicle for 2, 8, or 24 hours. HGF stimulates the cMET protein, a tyrosine kinase transmembrane protein.
Activation of c-MET induces a stem-like phenotype in human prostate cancer.

View SamplesFunctional characterization of human dendritic cell subsets is limited due to the very low frequency of these cells in vivo. We developed an in vitro culture system for the simultaneous generation of XCR1+ DCs and MoDCs from cord blood CD34+ cells. Their global gene expression profiles at steady state and under activation, phenotypes, morphologies and responses to different TLR ligands where characterized and compared with those of their in vivo counterparts. The study demonstrated that the XCR1+ DCs generated in vitro from cord blood CD34+ cells are equivalent to blood XCR1+ DCs and also allowed a rigorous comparison of this DC subset with MoDC which are often considered as the reference model for DCs. Altogether, our results showed that in vitro generated XCR1+ DCs are a better model for the study of blood DC than the conventionally used MoDCs.
Human XCR1+ dendritic cells derived in vitro from CD34+ progenitors closely resemble blood dendritic cells, including their adjuvant responsiveness, contrary to monocyte-derived dendritic cells.

View SamplesHomeostasis of the gut microbiota is pivotal to the survival of the host. Intestinal T cells and Innate Lymphoid cells (ILCs) control the composition of the microbiota and respond to its perturbations. Interleukin 22 (IL-22) plays a pivotal role in the immune control of gut commensal and pathogenic bacteria and is secreted by a heterogeneous population of intestinal T cells, NCR- ILC3 and NCR+ILC3. Expression of NCR by ILC3 is believed to define an irreversible effector ILC3 end-state fate in which these cells are key to control of bacterial infection via their production of IL-22. Here we identify the core transcriptional signature that drives the differentiation of NCR- ILC3 into NCR+ ILC3 and reveal that NCR+ILC3 exhibit more plasticity than originally thought, as NCR+ ILC3 can revert to NCR- ILC3. Contrary to the prevailing understanding of NCR+ ILC3 genesis and function, in vivo analyses of mice conditionally deleted of the key ILC3 genes Stat3, Il22, Tbet and Mcl1 demonstrated that NCR+ ILC3 were not essential for the control of colonic infections in the presence of T cells. However, NCR+ ILC3 were mandatory for homeostasis of the caecum. Our data identify that the interplay of intestinal T cells and ILC3 results in robust complementary fail-safe mechanisms that ensure gut homeostasis.

View SamplesES cells are able to self-renew and remain pluripotent. These characteristics are maintained by both genetic and epigenetic regulators. Protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) 4 and 5 are shown to be important in early embryonic development and in ES cells. PRMT6-mediated di-methylation of histone H3 at arginine 2 (H3R2me2) can antagonize the tri-methylation of histone H3 at lysine 4, which marks active genes. However, it is unclear whether PRMT6 and PRMT6-mediated H3R2me2 play crucial roles in early embryonic development and ES cell identity. In this study, we investigate their functions using mouse ES cells as the model.
Protein arginine methyltransferase 6 regulates embryonic stem cell identity.
