View SamplesThe E-protein transcription factors E2A and HEB play important roles at several stages of hematopoiesis. However, the exact mechanism for theire action and the main targets in the LY6D negative common lymphoid progentior (CLP) compartment remains unknown. By adressing this question, we will gain important infromation regarding the early events leading to B-cell specification.
The transcription factors E2A and HEB act in concert to induce the expression of FOXO1 in the common lymphoid progenitor.

View SamplesAs4.1 cells are a renin-expressing cell line commonly used to study the molecular regulation of the mouse renin gene. In the present study, the global gene expression profile was assessed in these cells under control conditions (VEHICLE) and after treatment with interleukin (IL) or hydrogen peroxide (HP), both of which negatively regulate mouse renin gene expression.

View SamplesIn order to investigate molecular events involved in the regulation of lymphoid lineage commitment, we crossed lamda5 reporter transgenic mice to mice where the GFP gene is inserted into the Rag1 locus. This allowed us to sub-fractionate common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs) and pre-pro-B cells into lamda5-Rag1low, lamda5-Rag1high and lamda5+Rag1high cells. Clonal in vitro differentiation analysis demonstrated that Rag1low cells gave rise to B/T and NK cells. Rag1high cells displayed reduced NK-cell potential with preserved capacity to generate B- and T-lineage cells while the lamda5+ cells were B-lineage restricted. Ebf1 and Pax5 expression was largely confined to the Rag1high populations. These cells also expressed a higher level of the surface protein LY6D providing an additional tool for the analysis of early lymphoid development. These data suggest that the classical CLP compartment composes a mixture of cells with more or less restricted lineage potentials opening new possibilities to investigate early hematopoiesis.

View SamplesLigand-mediated activation of the nuclear hormone receptor PPAR gamma lowers blood pressure and improves glucose tolerance in humans. Two naturally occurring mutations (P467L, V290M) in the ligand binding domain of PPAR gamma have been described in humans that lead to severe insulin resistance and hypertension. Experimental evidence suggests that these mutant versions of PPAR gamma act in a dominant negative fashion. To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying PPAR gamma action in the vasculature, we determined the gene expression patterns in mouse aorta in response to activation or interference with the PPAR gamma signaling pathway.

View SamplesThe major myeloid blood cell lineages, including erythrocytes, platelets, granulocytes and macrophages, are generated from hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) by differentiation through a series of increasingly more committed progenitor cells. Precise phenotypic identification and functional characterization of such intermediate progenitors has important consequences for understanding fundamental differentiation processes and is clinically relevant since such events become dysregulated in various disease settings, including leukemia. While previous studies have suggested a hierarchy for myeloid differentiation involving a common progenitor through which all myeloid lineages are derived, several recent studies have suggested that such a developmental intermediate might not be an absolute requirement. Here, we evaluated the functional in vitro and in vivo potentials of a range of prospectively isolated myeloid precursors with differential expression of CD150, Endoglin and CD41. Our studies reveal a complex hierarchy of myeloerythroid progenitors with distinct and developmentally restricted lineage potentials. Global gene expression signatures of these cellular subsets revealed expression patterns consistent with their functional capacities, while hierarchical clustering analysis provides details on their lineage relationships. These data challenge existing models of hematopoietic differentiation, by suggesting that progenitors of the innate and adaptive immune system in the adult separate late, and to a large extent, following the divergence of megakaryocytic/erythroid potential.
