Chemical compound and disease context of Stem Cells

 

Biological context of Stem Cells

  • The PML-RAR alpha fusion protein of APL renders haemopoietic progenitor cells resistant to Fas-, TNF- and IFN-induced apoptosis with a lack of caspase 3 activation, thus acting as a Pml dominant-negative product [20].
  • We studied the effect of lithium on murine hematopoiesis in a liquid culture system providing for the prolonged growth of stem cells and their progeny [21].
  • Transcription of the HO gene is controlled by at least eleven trans-acting regulators, which are responsible for limiting expression to mother cells and to one period in the cell cycle [22].
  • The NRSE dsRNA can trigger gene expression of neuron-specific genes through interaction with NRSF/REST transcriptional machinery, resulting in the transition from neural stem cells with neuron-specific genes silenced by NRSF/REST into cells with neuronal identity that can express neuronal genes [23].
  • Phosphorylation of p53 is impaired in Zfp148(+/-) embryonic stem cells and in fetal germ cells from chimeric Zfp148(+/-) embryos [24].
 

Anatomical context of Stem Cells

 

Associations of Stem Cells with chemical compounds

  • To analyze the significance of this regulation during development, we have generated mice deficient in Csk, a kinase that phosphorylates this tyrosine, by gene targeting in embryonic stem cells [30].
  • Oct-3, which recognizes the typical octamer motif (ATTTGCAT) as well as the AT-rich sequence TTAAAATTCA, is present in P19 stem cells but disappears when the cells are induced to differentiate by retinoic acid (RA) [31].
  • Separation of human epidermal stem cells from transit amplifying cells on the basis of differences in integrin function and expression [32].
  • Prolonged exposure to lithium (three to 12 weeks) was associated with a dose-dependent progressive depletion of stem cells and their progeny [21].
  • 5-Azacytidine induction of stable mesodermal stem cell lineages from 10T1/2 cells: evidence for regulatory genes controlling determination [33].
 

Gene context of Stem Cells

  • Apc modulates embryonic stem-cell differentiation by controlling the dosage of beta-catenin signaling [34].
  • Oct-3 has a conserved POU domain, but the remaining part is distinct from other POU domain-containing proteins such as Oct-1 and Oct-2. mRNA of 1.5 kb coding for Oct-3 is abundant in P19 stem cells but is dramatically repressed during RA-induced differentiation [31].
  • These findings reveal an unanticipated Shh-independent signaling pathway that controls progenitor cell identity and interneuron diversity in the ventral spinal cord [35].
  • These results provide new insights into the transcriptional regulation of stem cells and reveal how OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG contribute to pluripotency and self-renewal [36].
  • Pax6 controls progenitor cell identity and neuronal fate in response to graded Shh signaling [37].
