Have you seen? PIAS adds methyl-bias to HSC-differentiation
نویسنده
چکیده
Epigenetic modifications of stem cell genome including DNA methylation and histone modifications are critical for the regulation of stem cell gene expression and maintenance of stem cell pool and their differentiation. Although the importance of epigenetic modifications specifically DNA methylation to adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) has been established, the identity of specific modulators and precise mechanism of integration of methylation events remain to be uncovered. In this issue, Shuai and colleagues identify the SUMO E3 ligase PIAS1 (protein inhibitor of activated STAT1) as a key regulator of DNA methylation of HSC required for their maintenance and lineage commitment (Liu et al, 2014).

متن کاملDifferentiation of Mouse Yolk Sac Cells to Erythroid Cells in The Presence of Erythropoietin
Purpose: Yolk sac hematopoietic stem cells (YS-HSC) have two dominant characteristices: a larger reproductive capacity and the absence of the expression of MHC associated antigens. Therefore, these cells are promising candidates for transplantation, cell therapy and gene manipulation. There are controversial reports on the effects of erythropoietin (EPO) on the differentiation of yolk sac cells...
متن کاملMethylation maintains HSC division fate.
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for maintaining a sufficient pool of self-renewing cells that can continuously differentiate into lineage-specific hematopoietic cells throughout the lifetime of an individual (1). The choice to self-renew or differentiate is most likely achieved through coordination of extrinsic and intrinsic cell fate signals that drive symmetrical or asymmetric...

Yongxin Zhang, Farhang Farhangfar, Leonard Giblin, David Wolf, Francesca Vitelli, Yu Zhou, Donnie Rudd Abstract—Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are defined by the International Society of Hematotherapy and Graft Engineering (ISHAGE) as those at low side scatter, positive for CD34 and CD45dim for their numeration with flow cytometry. However, we found that these CD34+ cells increase their granula...
