A Molecular Switch for Initiating Cell Differentiation in Arabidopsis
BACKGROUND The onset of differentiation entails modifying the gene expression state of cells, to allow activation of developmental programs that are maintained repressed in the undifferentiated precursor cells [1, 2]. This requires a mechanism to change gene expression on a genome-scale. Recent evidence suggests that in mammalian stem cells, derepression of developmental regulators during diffe...
متن کاملPhotodynamic activation as a molecular switch to promote osteoblast cell differentiation via AP-1 activation
In photodynamic therapy (PDT), cells are impregnated with a photosensitizing agent that is activated by light irradiation, thereby photochemically generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). The amounts of ROS produced depends on the PDT dose and the nature of the photosensitizer. Although high levels of ROS are cytotoxic, at physiological levels they play a key role as second messengers in cellu...
متن کاملStimulation of a rat uterine stromal cell line in culture reveals a molecular switch for endocrine-dependent differentiation.
Differentiation of uterine stromal cells is critical for the establishment of pregnancy. This study had two purposes: (i) to validate the use of the UIII rat uterine stromal cell model for investigating mechanisms underlying decidual cell differentiation, and (ii) to use this cell model to identify a molecular switch for cellular entry into the decidual cell differentiation pathway. Quiescent r...
متن کاملCell differentiation modeled via a coupled two-switch regulatory network.
Mesenchymal stem cells can give rise to bone and other tissue cells, but their differentiation still escapes full control. In this paper we address this issue by mathematical modeling. We present a model for a genetic switch determining the cell fate of progenitor cells which can differentiate into osteoblasts (bone cells) or chondrocytes (cartilage cells). The model consists of two switch mech...
متن کاملId4, a New Candidate Gene for Senile Osteoporosis, Acts as a Molecular Switch Promoting Osteoblast Differentiation
Excessive accumulation of bone marrow adipocytes observed in senile osteoporosis or age-related osteopenia is caused by the unbalanced differentiation of MSCs into bone marrow adipocytes or osteoblasts. Several transcription factors are known to regulate the balance between adipocyte and osteoblast differentiation. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate the balance between adipocyte an...
