TGFβ‐Responsive HMOX1 Expression is Associated with Stemness and Invasion in GBM
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. Targeted proteomic analyses revealed elevated expressions of transmembrane proteins HMOX1 and SLC16A1 on the surface of glioblastoma cancer stem cells (CSCs) relative to healthy neural stem cells (NSCs). In the hypoxic region of the tumor, these proteins were found to be expressed among pseudopalisading glioma cells that also express known stem cell factors. From biological assays that are known to evaluate stemness, HMOX1 expression was found to be associated with stemness that could be regulated through TGFβ and PTEN signaling networks. Additionally, siRNA me...

The PI3K/AKT/c ‐MYC Axis Promotes the Acquisition of Cancer Stem‐Like Features in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
In conclusion, we have described a novel intratumoral heterogeneity in ESCC. The identification of the PI3K/AKT/c‐MYC axis as a driver of CSC‐like features carries therapeutic implications. Stem Cells 2016;34:2040–2051 Oxidative stress induced by H2O2 promotes RU/RR conversion and the acquisition of CSC‐like properties. (A) Reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by H2O2 (500 μM for 24 hours) was measured by flow cytometry. (B) H2O2‐induced RU/RR conversion in KYSE150‐RU cells, as indicated by the increase of GFP‐positive cells and luciferase activity. Representative flow cytometry data at Day 4 was shown in...

A Multi-Lineage Screen Reveals mTORC1 Inhibition Enhances Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Mesendoderm and Blood Progenitor Production
Publication date: Available online 28 April 2016 Source:Stem Cell Reports Author(s): Emanuel Joseph Paul Nazareth, Nafees Rahman, Ting Yin, Peter William Zandstra Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) exist in heterogeneous micro-environments with multiple subpopulations, convoluting fate-regulation analysis. We patterned hPSCs into engineered micro-environments and screened responses to 400 small-molecule kinase inhibitors, measuring yield and purity outputs of undifferentiated, neuroectoderm, mesendoderm, and extra-embryonic populations. Enrichment analysis revealed mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition...

Development of a cell-defined siRNA microarray for analysis of gene function in human bone marrow stromal cells
Publication date: March 2016 Source:Stem Cell Research, Volume 16, Issue 2 Author(s): Hi Chul Kim, Gi-Hwan Kim, Ssang-Goo Cho, Eun Ju Lee, Yong-Jun Kwon Small interfering RNA (siRNA) screening approaches have provided useful tools for the validation of genetic functions; however, image-based siRNA screening using multiwell plates requires large numbers of cells and time, which could be the barrier in application for gene mechanisms study using human adult cells. Therefore, we developed the advanced method with the cell-defined siRNA microarray (CDSM), for functional analysis of genes in small scale within slide glas...

Correction of Mutant p63 in EEC Syndrome Using siRNA Mediated Allele‐Specific Silencing Restores Defective Stem Cell Function
This study demonstrates the phenotypic correction of mutant stem cells (OMESCs) in EEC syndrome by means of siRNA mediated AS silencing with restoration of function. The application of siRNA, alone or in combination with cell‐based therapies, offers a therapeutic strategy for corneal blindness in EEC syndrome. Stem Cells 2016; 00:000—000

A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase Domain 17 Regulates Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells and Chemosensitivity Via Notch1 Signaling
The objective of the present study was to determine whether ADAM17 regulates the CSC phenotype in CRC and to elucidate the downstream signaling mechanism that mediates cancer stemness. We treated established CRC cell lines and a newly established human CRC cell line HCP-1 with ADAM17-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) or the synthetic peptide inhibitor TAPI-2. The effects of ADAM17 inhibition on the CSC phenotype and chemosensitivity to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in CRC cells were examined. siRNA knockdown and TAPI-2 decreased the protein levels of cleaved Notch1 (Notch1 intracellular domain) and HES-1 in CRC cells. A decre...

Promotion of human mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis by PI3-kinase/Akt signaling, and the influence of caveolin-1/cholesterol homeostasis
Conclusions: PI3K/Akt signaling is a key pathway required for human MSC osteogenesis, and it is likely that localization of active Akt in non-caveolar and caveolar membrane rafts positively and negatively contributes to osteogenesis, respectively.
