Distinct and Conserved Prominin-1/CD133–Positive Retinal Cell Populations Identified across Species
Besides being a marker of various somatic stem cells in mammals, prominin-1 (CD133) plays a role in maintaining the photoreceptor integrity since mutations in the PROM1 gene are linked with retinal degeneration. In spite of that, little information is available regarding its distribution in eyes of non-mammalian vertebrates endowed with high regenerative abilities. To address this subject, prom...
متن کاملNovel Human Embryonic Stem Cell Regulators Identified by Conserved and Distinct CpG Island Methylation State
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) undergo epigenetic changes in vitro which may compromise function, so an epigenetic pluripotency "signature" would be invaluable for line validation. We assessed Cytosine-phosphate-Guanine Island (CGI) methylation in hESCs by genomic DNA hybridisation to a CGI array, and saw substantial variation in CGI methylation between lines. Comparison of hESC CGI methyla...
متن کاملProtein–Protein Interactions More Conserved within Species than across Species
Experimental high-throughput studies of protein-protein interactions are beginning to provide enough data for comprehensive computational studies. Today, about ten large data sets, each with thousands of interacting pairs, coarsely sample the interactions in fly, human, worm, and yeast. Another about 55,000 pairs of interacting proteins have been identified by more careful, detailed biochemical...
متن کاملNeurotrophic growth factors stimulate glycosaminoglycan synthesis in identified retinal cell populations in vitro.
Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) are known to participate in central nervous system processes such as development, cell migration, and neurite outgrowth, but little is known with respect to their regulation through soluble neurotrophic factors. In the present study, we have addressed this issue using cell culture models of three distinct cell populations derived from young rat retinas, namely, purified...
متن کاملp27 and p57 Regulate Proliferation in Distinct Retinal Progenitor Cell Populations
In the developing vertebrate retina, progenitor cell proliferation must be precisely regulated to ensure appropriate formation of the mature tissue. Cyclin kinase inhibitors have been implicated as important regulators of proliferation during development by blocking the activity of cyclin–cyclin-dependent kinase complexes. We have found that the p27 cyclin kinase inhibitor regulates progenitor ...
