Most squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (HNSCC) exhibit a persistent activation of the PI3K-mTOR signaling pathway. We have recently shown that metformin, an oral antidiabetic drug that is also used to treat lipodystrophy in HIV-infected (HIV(+)) individuals, diminishes mTOR activity and prevents the progression of chemically induced experimental HNSCC premalignant lesions. Here, we ...
WINNING ABSTRACT: Organic cation transporters (OCTs) have an important role in tissue distribution and elimination of cationic drugs. To assess airway disposal of cationic bronchodilators, human airway cells and tissues obtained from organ donors were evaluated for drug transporter expression by quantitative RT-PCR and immunofluorescence. For in vitro functional studies, [H]-formoterol (FORM) a...
At steady state, plasma histamine levels exhibit circadian variations with nocturnal peaks, which is implicated in the nighttime exacerbation of allergic symptoms. However, the regulatory mechanisms are largely unexplored. This study determined how steady-state plasma histamine levels are regulated and affected by environmental factors. We found that plasma histamine levels decreased in mast ce...
Maintaining undifferentiated mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) culture has been a major challenge as mESCs cultured in Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) conditions exhibit spontaneous differentiation, fluctuating expression of pluripotency genes, and genes of specialized cells. Here we show that, in sharp contrast to the mESCs seeded on the conventional rigid substrates, the mESCs cultured on the...
BACKGROUND In the development of the human ovary, the second trimester includes the transition from oogonial replication to primordial follicle formation. The present study was carried out to assess differentiation and proliferation of germ cells in a series of female gonads from 19 fetuses from the second and third trimester, and two neonates. METHODS Using immunohistochemistry, the followin...
Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells The ability to reprogram adult mammalian somatic cells to a pluripotent state has proven to be a paradigm shifting discovery. In 2007, this reprogramming technology was translated to the engineering of human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) using skin fibroblasts by both the Yamanaka (transduction of c-Myc, Oct3/4, SOX2, and Klf4) and Thomson (transdu...
Self-renewal of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) is maintained by a complex regulatory mechanism involving transcription factors Oct3/4 (Pou5f1), Nanog and Sox2. Here, we report that Klf5, a Zn-finger transcription factor of the Kruppel-like family, is involved in ESC self-renewal. Klf5 is expressed in mouse ESCs, blastocysts and primordial germ cells, and its knockdown by RNA interference alters th...
We identified cell surface markers associated with repression of p16(INK4a)/cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A(CDKN2A), a critical determinant in the acquisition of a plastic state. These cell surface markers allowed direct isolation of rare cells from healthy human breast tissue that exhibit extensive lineage plasticity. This subpopulation is poised to transcribe plasticity markers, OCT3/4, ...
The cancer stem cell (CSC) model posits the presence of a small number of CSCs in the heterogeneous cancer cell population that are ultimately responsible for tumor initiation, as well as cancer recurrence and metastasis. CSCs have been isolated from a variety of human cancers and are able to generate a hierarchical and heterogeneous cancer cell population. CSCs are also resistant to convention...
