Ixr1 is a transcriptional factor from Saccharomyces cerevisae with high affinity to cisplatin-DNA adducts through their two HMG-box DNA binding domains. Its transcriptional regulation is essential in the cytotoxicity caused by cisplatin, although the molecular mechanisms supporting this function are not understood. We present a transcriptome analysis discriminating between RNA changes induced by cisplatin which are dependent or independent of the Ixr1 function.

View SamplesA gene expression topology of the developing, postnatal and diseased heart resulted in re-interpretation of ventricular remodeling in terms of rearrangement of key gene regulatory networks that are imbalanced, attenuated, or abnormally activated in the failing myocardium. The underlying principle, Shaping the heart in development and disease becomes a focus of current cardiovascular research with the goal of developing innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to combat cardiovascular disease. In this line, our interests focus on regulatory molecular pathways and identification of novel candidate genes associated with ventricular remodeling in normal and pathological states. The general goal of the project was to establish a piglet model of heart failure induced by the cardiotoxic agent Doxorubicin.

View SamplesThe new official nomenclature subdivides human monocytes into three subsets, classical (CD14++CD16-), intermediate (CD14++CD16+) and nonclassical (CD14+CD16+). Here, we comprehensively define relationships and unique characteristics of the three human monocyte subsets using microarray and flow cytometry analysis. Our analysis revealed that the intermediate and nonclassical monocyte subsets were most closely related. For the intermediate subset, majority of genes and surface markers were expressed at an intermediary level between the classical and nonclassical subset. There features therefore indicate a close and direct lineage relationship between the intermediate and nonclassical subset. From gene expression profiles, we define unique characteristics for each monocyte subset. Classical monocytes were functionally versatile, due to the expression of a wide range of sensing receptors and several members of the AP-1 transcription factor family. The intermediate subset was distinguished by high expression of MHC class II associated genes. The nonclassical subset were most highly differentiated and defined by genes involved in cytoskeleton rearrangement that explains their highly motile patrolling behavior in vivo. Additionally, we identify unique surface markers, CLEC4D, IL-13RA1 for classical, GFRA2, CLEC10A for intermediate and GPR44 for nonclassical. Our study hence defines the fundamental features of monocyte subsets necessary for future research on monocyte heterogeneity.

View SamplesAdult stem cells residing within tubular glands of the corpus epithelium are believed to fuel daily tissue renewal, but their identity remains controversial. Lgr5, marks both homeostatic stem cells and reserve stem cells in multiple tissues. Here, we report Lgr5 expression in a subpopulation of chief cells in mouse and human corpus glands. Using a new, non-variegated Lgr5-2A-CreERT2 mouse model, we show by cell fate mapping that Lgr5-expressing chief cells do not behave as corpus stem cells under homeostatic conditions, but are recruited to function as stem cells to effect epithelial renewal following injury. In vivo ablation of the Lgr5+ cells severely impairs epithelial homeostasis in the corpus, indicating an essential role in maintaining the resident stem cell pool. We additionally define the Lgr5+ chief cells as a major cell of origin of gastric metaplasia. These findings reveal clinically relevant insights into tissue homeostasis, repair and cancer in the corpus.
