Primary T cells were isolated from spleen of Parp-1-/- and wild-type mice by magnetic depletion of non-T cells using a MACS Pan-T Cell isolation kit, according to the manufacturer´s instruction (Mintenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Purity was assessed by flow cytometry analysis using antibodies against CD3, CD4 and CD8 and all preparations were more than 98% pure of T cells. The cells were activated with plate-bound anti-mouse CD3 (clone 145-2C11) (5 microg/ml) in the absence or the presence of anti-mouse CD28 (clone 37.51) (5microg/ml) both from BD PharMingen (San Diego, CA) and culture for 3.5 h in RPMI 1640 medium (BioWhittaker) supplemented with 10% FCS, 2mM L-glutamine, 5x10-5 M 2-mercaptoethanol (Sigma), 2.5 microg/ml fungizone, 100 IU/ml penicillin, and 10 microg/ml streptomycin.

View SamplesThe maternal tract plays a critical role in the success of early embryonic development providing an optimal environment for establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. Preparation of this environment requires an intimate dialogue between the embryo and her mother. To advance our understanding of the process by which a foreign blastocyst is accepted by the maternal endometrium and better address the clinical challenges of infertility and pregnancy failure, it is imperative to decipher this complex molecular dialogue. The objective of the present work is to define the local response(s) of the maternal tract towards the embryo during the earliest stages of pregnancy.
Early developing pig embryos mediate their own environment in the maternal tract.

View SamplesThe objective of the present study is to investigate if females have the ability to recognise X or Y chromosome bearing spermatozoa and present a different response to different spermatozoa.
The battle of the sexes starts in the oviduct: modulation of oviductal transcriptome by X and Y-bearing spermatozoa.

View SamplesPhysiologically relevant concentrations of retinoic acid are added to Mouse ES cells and a time course (0-72 hours) is examined with expression tiling arrays and RNA-seq to characterize the early dynamics of expression of coding and non-coding RNAs in and around the Hox clusters. Overall design: Gene expression is examined at various timepoints (0-72 hrs) after retinoic acid induced neuronal differentiation
Dynamic regulation of Nanog and stem cell-signaling pathways by Hoxa1 during early neuro-ectodermal differentiation of ES cells.

View SamplesEwing Sarcoma is the second most common solid pediatric malignant neoplasm of the bone and soft tissue. Driven by EWS/Ets, or rarely variant, oncogenic fusions, Ewing Sarcoma is a biologically and clinically aggressive disease with a high propensity for metastasis. Our laboratory has previously identified the Jumonji-domain H3K9 me 1/2 histone demethylase KDM3A as a novel oncogene downstream of EWS/Fli1, the most common oncofusion in Ewing Sarcoma. Herein, we uncover a role for KDM3A in the promotion of Ewing Sarcoma metastasis.
The histone demethylase KDM3A, and its downstream target MCAM, promote Ewing Sarcoma cell migration and metastasis.

View SamplesIdentification of intrathymic Eomes+ natural Th1 cells creates a novel idea that there is more than one way for the generation of innate CD4 T cells. To more deeply characterize this type of innate T cells, we compared the gene expression profile between nTh1 cells generated in CIITAtg mice and classic Th1 cells differentiated from naive CD4 T cells in Th1-polarizing condition.
Thymic low affinity/avidity interaction selects natural Th1 cells.
