Pluripotency of mammalian stem cells is stabilized at different status depending upon the extracellular stimuli of their environment. Now, there is a consensus that mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and iPSCs (miPSCs) represent undifferentiated status very close to ground-state of mammalian development when cultured in optimal condition. Since they have not been activated to commit into any lineages, they are stated as nave-state stem cells. In contrast, human ESCs (hESCs), hiPSCs, and mEpiSCs are considered to possess partially differentiated characteristics compared with mESCs and miPSCs. Thus, they are stated as primed-state stem cells. Investigation of the prerequisites for establishment of the nave-state is significantly important to fully understand mammalian development and to extrapolate the technologies developed with mouse ES/iPS cells for human.

View SamplesMyocarditis is an inflammatory disease in the heart and is mainly caused by viral infections. Viral myocarditis has been proposed to be divided into three phases; the acute viral phase, the subacute immune phase, and the chronic cardiac remodeling phase. Although individualized therapy should be applied depending on the phase, no clinical or experimental studies have found biomarkers that distinguish between the three phases of myocarditis. Theilers murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) belongs to the genus Cardiovirus, and can cause myocarditis in susceptible mouse strains. Using this novel model for viral myocarditis induced with TMEV, we conducted multivariate analysis including echocardiography, serum troponin and viral RNA titration, and microarray for identifying the biomarker candidates that discriminate the three phases. Using C3H mice infected with TMEV on 4, 7, and 60 days post infection (p.i.), we conducted bioinformatics analyses, including principal component analysis (PCA) of microarray data, since our traditional cardiac and serum assays, including two-way comparison of microarray data, did not lead to the identification of a single biomarker. PCA separated heart samples clearly between the groups of 4, 7, and 60 days p.i. Representative genes contributing to the separation were as follows: 4 and 7 days p.i., innate immunity-related genes, such as Irf7, and Cxcl9; 7 and 60 days p.i., acquired immunity-related genes, such as Cd3g and H2-Aa; and cardiac remodeling-related genes, such as Mmp12 and Gpnmb. Here, sets of molecules, but not a single molecule, identified by the unsupervised PCA, were found to be useful as the phase-specific biomarkers.
Bioinformatics multivariate analysis determined a set of phase-specific biomarker candidates in a novel mouse model for viral myocarditis.

View SamplesAnalysis of HER2-amplified NCI-N87 gastric cancer cell line exposed to 0.1 g/mL T-DM1 and subsequently cultured in the presence of gradually increasing doses, up to a maximum of 4 g/mL. The resultant cell lines that grew exponentially in the presence of T-DM1 were designated as drug resistant gastric cancer cell lines, and named N87-TDMR.

View SamplesThe purpose of this study was to characterize the transcriptional effects induced by subcutaneous IFN-beta-1b treatment (Betaferon, 250 g every other day) in patients with relapsing-remitting form of multiple sclerosis (MS).
Long-term genome-wide blood RNA expression profiles yield novel molecular response candidates for IFN-beta-1b treatment in relapsing remitting MS.
