Description
The first lineage decisions during mouse development lead to establishment of embryonic and extraembryonic tissues. The transcription factor Cdx2 plays a central role by repressing pluripotency genes, such as Oct4 and promoting trophoblast fate at the blastocyst stage. Here we show that the transcription factor Gata3 is coexpressed with Cdx2 in the blastocyst and that overexpression of Gata3 in embryonic stem cells is sufficient to induce expression of trophoblast genes. Gata3 expression in the blastocyst does not depend on Cdx2, nor do Gata3 overexpressing cell lines require Cdx2 for expression of a subset of trophoblast genes. In the embryo, expression of Gata3, like Cdx2, depends on Tead4, and expression of both factors becomes restricted to nascent trophoblast by an Oct4-independent mechanism. These observations place Tead4 at the top of a trophoblast hierarchy, with Gata3 and Cdx2 acting downstream to induce expression of common and independent targets in this lineage.

To identify whether Cdx2 or Gata3 can activate trophoblast specific gene expression when expressed in R1 ES cells. To assess the dependency of Gata3 activity on Cdx2, Gata3 was also expressed in Cdx2-null ES cells.

Description
Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are highly conserved epigenetic transcriptional repressors important for the control of numerous developmental gene expression programs and have recently been implicated in the modulation of embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity. We identified the PcG protein PCL2 (polycomb-like 2) in a genome-wide screen for novel regulators of self-renewal and pluripotency and predicted that it would play an important role in mouse ESC fate determination. Using multiple biochemical strategies, we provide evidence that PCL2 is a novel Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2)-associated protein in mouse ESCs. Knockdown of Pcl2 in ESCs resulted in heightened self-renewal characteristics, defects in differentiation and altered patterns of histone methylation. Through integration of global gene expression and promoter occupancy analyses of both PCL2 and PRC2 components EZH2 and SUZ12, we have predicted PCL2 target genes and formulated regulatory networks describing the role of PCL2 both in modulating transcription of ESC self-renewal genes in undifferentiated ESCs as well as developmental regulators during early commitment and differentiation.

Description
Despite advances in investigating functional aspects of osteoblast (OB) differentiation, especially studies on how bone proteins are deposited and mineralized, there has been little research on the intracellular trafficking of bone proteins during OB differentiation. Collagen synthesis and secretion is markedly upregulated upon Ascorbic Acid (AA) stimulation. Understanding the mechanism by which collagen is mobilized in specialized OB cells is important for both basic cell biology and diseases involving defects in bone secretion and deposition. RabGTPases are major regulators on protein trafficking throughout the cell. In this study, we identified the Rab GTPases that are upregulated during 5-day AA differentiation of OBs using microarray analysis, namely Rab1, Rab3d and Rab27b.

Description
An important question for the use of the mouse as a model for studying human disease is the degree of functional conservation of genetic control pathways from human to mouse. The human placenta and mouse placenta show structural similarities but there has been no systematic attempt to assess their molecular similarities or differences. We built a comprehensive database of protein and microarray data for the highly vascular exchange region micro-dissected from the human and mouse placenta near-term. Abnormalities in this region are associated with two of the most common and serious complications of human pregnancy, maternal preeclampsia (PE) and fetal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), each disorder affecting ~5% of all pregnancies.

Description
To further identify and understand the molecular and immunological correlates of pathology for SARS-CoV infection, we infected 129/S6/SvEv or B129 mice with the TOR2 strain of SARS-CoV. SARS-CoV was detected in the lung and nasal turbinates of infected mice peaking at 1 day post infection (DPI) in both tissues before decreasing rapidly to levels below detection at 7 DPI and 3 DPI, respectively. Pulmonary lesions in virus-infected animals included bronchiolar, peribronchiolar, and perivascular foci of mild to moderate subacute inflammation. Chronic inflammation included inflammatory macrophages, lymphocytes, and plasma cells. Neutralizing antibodies appeared on 5 DPI (IgM); converting to IgG on 7 DPI. Despite the prevailing notion that SARS-CoV interferes with the induction of interferon (IFN) signaling, mice infected with SARS-CoV in vivo demonstrated significantly increased expression of innate antiviral interferon (IFN) response genes (IRGs) in the lungs during the first week of acute infection. By the end of the second week of infection, coordinated expression of MHC class I / II and antigen presentation genes occurred in correlation with declining viral titres. Collectively, the mouse data suggests that robust IFN-driven innate immune responses and a critical shift from innate to adaptive immune responses is necessary for clearance and recovery from SARS-CoV infection.
