We found that the non-essential amino acid L-Proline (L-Pro) acts as a signaling molecule that promotes the conversion of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into mesenchymal-like, spindle-shaped, highly motile, invasive pluripotent stem cells. This embryonic stem cell-to-mesenchymal-like transition (esMT) is accompanied by a genome-wide remodeling of the transcriptome
L-Proline induces a mesenchymal-like invasive program in embryonic stem cells by remodeling H3K9 and H3K36 methylation.

View SamplesTo identify novel Nurr1 target genes we have used microarrays strategies in rat midbrain primary cultures, enriched in dopaminergic neurons, by the action of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, 20ng/ml) and Sonic hedgedog (SHH), following upregulation of Nurr1 expression by depolarization.To this aim we have treated the cultures after 9 days in vitro for 2h with high KCl and collected 30 min or 2 h after the end of depolarization (2h + 30 min or 2h + 2h). With this experimental protocol we have identify a putative Nurr1 regulator and Nurr1 target

View SamplesDespite a substantial progress in diagnosis and therapy, acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of mortality in the general population. A novel insight into the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction obtained by studying gene expression should help to discover novel biomarkers of MI and to suggest novel strategies of therapy. The aim of our study was to establish gene expression patterns in leukocytes from acute myocardial infarction patients.

View SamplesWe used the CRISPR/Cas9 technique to construct nbr1-KO lines (KO1 and KO3) in order to test the effects of AtNBR1 depletion. Reduced expression of several ABA-up regulated genes were observed in shoots of the two KO lines.

View SamplesIn this study, we aimed to identify potential lncRNA deregulations associated with breast cancer malignancy instigated by MSCs-MCF7 co-culture. We profiled expression changes of lncRNAs in MCF-7 cells during EMT induced by coculture with hAD-MSCs, and found an intergenic lncRNA with proviouly unknown function (KB-1732A1.1, we termed it LincK), which was significantly elevated. Depletion of LincK decreased the growth, migration, invasion, and EMT in breast cancer cells, while overexpression of LincK exerted the opposite effects. Moreover, knockdown of LincK repressed tumorigenesis, and ectopic expression of LincK promoted tumor growth in MCF-7 xenograft model. LincKs can act as a sponge of mirR-200b, which inhibits its function in proliferation and metastasis. Thus we reported, for the rst time, the role of LincK in control of EMT and proliferation in breast cancer.
LincK contributes to breast tumorigenesis by promoting proliferation and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.

View SamplesHemagglutinin of the influenza virus is the main external glycoprotein. This very immunogenic protein is the target of the most anti-influenza vaccines. DNA vaccines are new alternative to conventional inactivated ones. Four DNA vaccines were tested. Each tested variant was based on the pCI vector with nucleotide sequence encoding hemagglutinin from A/swan/Poland/305-135V08/2006 (H5N1, clade 2.2). In K3/pCI, GK/pCI and HAneo/pCI the different optimization algorithms of hemagglutinin encoding sequence without amino acids change were tested. In 3NF/pCI the NFkappaB binding sites flanking the expression cassette were included in order to improve the nuclear transfer. Comparative transcriptome analysis of mice vaccinated the following vaccine HAneo/pCI,K3/pCI, GK/pCI or 3NF/pCI versus empty vector demonstrated minor changes in genes expression pattern. Most genes were expressed on the similar level in the vaccinated individuals and in the control mice. Small number of genes in particular variants showed the expression different than in the control mice. In general, the identified genes with the changed expression included some genes involved in metabolic processes and none of them seem to induce any undesirable pathways nor disease.

View SamplesIn Pseudomonas aeruginosa, partitioning protein ParB facilitates segregation of newly replicated chromosomes but is not essential for cell survival. Unlike in other bacteria, inactivation of parB leads to major changes of the transcriptome, suggesting that, directly or indirectly, ParB plays a role in regulation of gene expression in this organism.
Increased ParB level affects expression of stress response, adaptation and virulence operons and potentiates repression of promoters adjacent to the high affinity binding sites parS3 and parS4 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
