Inducible overexpression of Arabidopsis meristem regulators by AlcR / AlcA system. Plants harboring 35S::AlcR/AlcA::GOI (GUS control, LEAFY, SHOOTMERSTEMLESS, WUSCHEL)constructs were grown in continous light for 12 days and induced with 1% Ethanol. After 12h of EtOH treatment, seedlings were dissected and RNA was processed from the shoot apex and young leaves. Affymetrix Ath1 arrays were hybridized in duplicates from each experiment.
WUSCHEL controls meristem function by direct regulation of cytokinin-inducible response regulators.

View SamplesDisrupted skin barrier due to altered keratinocyte differentiation is common in pathologic conditions such as atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis and psoriasis. However, the molecular cascades governing keratinocyte terminal differentiation are still poorly understood. We have previously demonstrated that a dominant mutation in ZNF750 leads to a clinical phenotype that reminiscent of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. We defined ZNF750 as a nuclear effector that is strongly activated in and essential for keratinocyte terminal differentiation. ZNF750 knockdown in HaCaT keratinocytes markedly reduced the expression of epidermal late differentiation markers, including gene subsets of epidermal differentiation complex and skin barrier formation such as FLG, LOR, SPINK5, ALOX12B and DSG1, known to be mutated in various human skin diseases. Furthermore, ZNF750 over-expression in undifferentiated cells induced terminal differentiation genes. Thus, ZNF750 is a regulator of keratinocyte terminal differentiation, and with its downstream targets can serve in future elucidation of therapeutics for common disease of skin barrier
ZNF750 is expressed in differentiated keratinocytes and regulates epidermal late differentiation genes.

View SamplesWe developed a technique for generating hypothalamic neurons from human pluripotent stem cells. Here, as proof-of-principle, we examine the use of these cells in modeling of a monogenic form of severe obesity: PCSK1 deficiency. We generated PCSK1 (PC1/3)-deficient human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines using both shRNA and CRISPR-Cas9, and investigated pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) processing using hESC-differentiated hypothalamic neurons. Overall design: We tried to idenitify transcripitional profiles and specific transcription factors that involved in of different stages during hypothalamic neuron differentiation from single cell sequencing for hESC-derived Day27 hypothalamic neurons, Day 12 neuron progenitors and undifferentiated stem cells

View SamplesAlthough nuclear transfer allows the reprogramming of somatic cells to totipotency, little is known concerning the kinetics by which it takes place or the minimum requirements for its success. Here, we demonstrate that reprogramming can be achieved within a few hours and a single cell-cycle as long as two key constraints on reprogramming are satisfied. First, the recipient cell chromosomes must be removed during mitosis. Second, the nuclear envelope of the donor cell must be broken down and its chromosomes condensed, allowing an embryonic nucleus to be constructed around the incoming chromosomes. If these requirements are not met, then reprogramming fails and embryonic development arrests. These results point to a central role for processes intimately linked to cell division in mediating efficient transitions between transcriptional programs.

View SamplesThe exchange of the oocyte's genome with the genome of a somatic cell, followed by the derivation of pluripotent stem cells, could enable the generation of specific cell types affected in degenerative human diseases. Such cells, carrying the patient's genome, might be useful for cell replacement. Here we report that the development of human oocytes activated after genome exchange invariably arrests at the late cleavage stages in association with transcriptional abnormalities. In contrast, if the oocyte genome is not removed and the somatic cell genome is merely added, they efficiently develop to the blastocyst stage. Human stem cell lines derived from these blastocysts differentiate into cell types of all three germ layers, and a pluripotent gene expression program is established on the genome derived from the somatic cell. This result demonstrates the feasibility of reprogramming human cells using oocytes and identifies the removal of the oocyte genome as the primary cause of developmental failure after genome exchange. Future work should focus on the critical elements that are associated with the human oocyte genome.
