Affymetrix Mouse Gene 2.0 ST Array (mogene20st)
Description
The combination of Wnt pathway activation by the GSK3 inhibitor and ERK pathway inhibition by the MEK inhibitor, which is known as 2i is a well-established method to maintain mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) self-renewal. Here we show that Activin A also has the ability to promote naive pluripotency of mESCs when combined with the MEK inhibitor PD0325901. mESCs were efficiently propagated in a medium containing both Activin A and the MEK inhibitor (PD0325901). mESCs cultured in Activin+PD retained a pluripotency state that expresses high levels of naive pluripotency-related transcription factors and is able to differentiate into three germ layers under appropriate conditions. They also showed naive pluripotency features, including the preferential usage of the Oct4 distal enhancer and the self-renewal response to Wnt pathway activation. Our finding provides another way to maintain the naive pluripotency state and reveals a role of Activin/Nodal/TGF- signaling in stabilizing self-renewal gene regulatory networks in mESCs.

Description
The discreteness of cell fates is an inherent and fundamental feature of multicellular organisms. Here we show that cross-antagonistic mechanisms of actions of MyoD and PPARg, which are the master regulators of muscle and adipose differentiation, respectively, confer the robustness to the integrity of cell differentiation. Simultaneous expression of MyoD and PPARg in mesenchymal stem/stromal cells led to the generation of a mixture of multinucleated myotubes and lipid-filled adipocytes. Interestingly, hybrid cells, i.e., lipid-filled myotubes, were not generated, suggesting that these differentiation programs are mutually exclusive. Mechanistically, while exogenously expressed MyoD was rapidly degraded in adipocytes through ubiquitin-proteasome pathways, exogenously expressed PPARg was not down-regulated in myotubes. In PPARg-expressing myotubes, PPARg-dependent histone hyperacetylation was inhibited in a subset of adipogenic gene loci, including that of C/EBPa, an essential effector of PPARg. Thus, the cross-repressive interactions between MyoD- and PPARg-induced differentiation programs ensure the discrete cell fate decisions.

Description
The ERK family of MAP kinase plays a critical role in growth factor-stimulated cell cycle progression from G0/G1 to S phase. But, how sustained activation of ERK promotes G1 progression has remained unclear. Here, our systematic analysis on the temporal program of ERK-dependent gene expression shows that sustained activation of ERK is required for induction and maintenance of the decreased expression levels of a set of genes. Moreover, our cell biological analysis reveals that these ERK-dependent downregulated genes have the ability to block S phase entry. Cessation of ERK activation at mid or late G1 leads to a rapid increase of these anti-proliferative genes and results in the inhibition of S phase entry. These findings uncover an important mechanism by which the duration of ERK activation regulates cell cycle progression through dynamic changes in gene expression, and identify novel ERK target genes crucial for the regulation of cell cycle progression.
Publication Title
Continuous ERK activation downregulates antiproliferative genes throughout G1 phase to allow cell-cycle progression.

Description
Surgical samples have long been used as important subjects for cancer research. In accordance with an increase of neoadjuvant therapy, biopsy samples have recently become imperative for cancer transcriptome. On the other hand, both biopsy and surgical samples are available for expression profiling for predicting clinical outcome by adjuvant therapy; however, it is still unclear whether surgical sample expression profiles are useful for the prediction by the use of biopsy samples because little has been done about comparative gene expression profiling between the two kinds of samples.
