Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) refer to stem cells that are artificially produced using a new technology known as cellular reprogramming, which can use gene transduction in somatic cells. There are numerous potential applications for iPSCs in the field of stem cell biology becauase they are able to give rise to several different cell features of lineages such as three-germ layers. Primordial germ cells, generated via in vitro differentiation of iPSCs, have been demonstrated to produce functional gametes. Therefore, in this review we discussed past and recent advances in the in vitro differentiation of germ cells using pluripotent stem cells with an emphasis on iPSCs. Although this domain of research is still in its infancy, exploring development mechanisms of germ cells is promising, especially in humans, to promote future reproductive and developmental engineering technologies. While few studies have evaluated the ability and efficiency of iPSCs to differentiate toward male germ cells in vitro by different inducers, the given effect was investigated in this review. 相似文献

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification involved in many biological processes and diseases. Computational analysis of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) could explore the underlying reasons of methylation. DMRFusion is presented as a useful tool for comprehensive DNA methylation analysis of DMRs on methylation sequencing data. This tool is designed base on the integration of several ranking methods; Information gain, Between versus within Class scatter ratio, Fisher ratio, Z-score and Welch's t-test. In this study, DMRFusion on reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) data in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cancer displayed 30 nominated regions and CpG sites with a maximum methylation difference detected in the hypermethylation DMRs. We realized that DMRFusion is able to process methylation sequencing data in an efficient and accurate manner and to provide annotation and visualization for DMRs with high fold difference score (p-value and FDR < 0.05 and type I error: 0.04). 相似文献

Proteins are often monitored by combining a fluorescent polypeptide tag with the target protein. However, due to the high molecular weight and immunogenicity of such tags, they are not suitable choices for combining with fusion proteins such as immunotoxins. In this study, we designed a polypeptide sequence with a dual role (it acts as both a linker and a fluorescent probe) to use with fusion proteins. Two common fluorescent tag sequences based on tetracysteine were compared to a commonly used rigid linker as well as our proposed dual-purpose sequence. Computational investigations showed that the dual-purpose sequence was structurally stable and may be a good choice to use as both a linker and a fluorescence marker between two moieties in a fusion protein. 相似文献

Soil improvement is one of the major concerns in civil engineering. Therefore, a variety of approaches have been employed for different soil types. The loose granular soils and sediments have always imposed challenges due to their low strength and bearing capacity as well as presenting difficulties in drilling and excavation. Biomediated soil improvement, i.e., utilizing some bacteria to precipitate calcite on soil particles, has recently been introduced as a novel link of biotechnology and civil engineering to improve the problematic soils. Biogrout as a branch of biomediated soil improvement is based upon microbial calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP). In the present study, the Taguchi method with the aim of optimizing the process was utilized to design the experiments (DOE). A standard L9 orthogonal array with four parameters comprising bacterial cell concentration, molar concentration ratio of nutrient solution, curing time, and flow rate, each assigned to three levels, was selected. In this regard, soil samples were stabilized in sandy soil columns. Two-phase injections were conducted by injecting the bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii PTCC 1642 in the first phase and nutrient in the second phase. Specimens were subjected to an unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test. ANOVA pointed out how effectual each parameter was. The most effective parameter was curing time, which accounted for 45.97% of the overall variance of the experimental data followed by bacterial cell concentration (22.01%), nutrient strength (19.98%), and flow rate (12.04%). Predicted UCS values for the optimum condition were validated in a confirmation test. Indeed, the UCS of the soil increased from 85 kPa in the control sample to 930 kPa for the optimally treated specimen. It was concluded that rather than curing time, the other parameters are almost equally influential in the applied injection procedure. 相似文献

Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive disease characterized by fibroblast proliferation and excess deposition of collagen and other extracellular matrix components. Although the origin of fibroblasts is multifactorial, recent data implicate endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition as an important source of fibroblasts. We report herein that loss of the essential autophagy gene ATG7 in endothelial cells (ECs) leads to impaired autophagic flux accompanied by marked changes in EC architecture, loss of endothelial, and gain of mesenchymal markers consistent with endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Loss of ATG7 also up-regulates TGFβ signaling and key pro-fibrotic genes in vitro. In vivo, EC-specific ATG7 knock-out mice exhibit a basal reduction in endothelial-specific markers and demonstrate an increased susceptibility to bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis and collagen accumulation. Our findings help define the role of endothelial autophagy as a potential therapeutic target to limit organ fibrosis, a condition for which presently there are no effective available treatments. 相似文献

A poly(vinylalcohol) (PVA) electrospun/magnetic/chitosan nanocomposite fibrous cross-linked network was fabricated using in situ cross-linking electrospinning technique and used for bovine serum albumin (BSA) loading and release applications. Sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) and glutaraldehyde (GA) were used as cross-linkers which modified magnetic-Fe3O4 chitosan as Fe3O4/CS/TPP and Fe3O4/CS/GA, respectively. BSA was used as a model protein drugs which was encapsulated to form Fe3O4/CS/TPP/BSA and Fe3O4/CS/GA/BSA nanoparticles. The composites were electrospun with PVA to form nanofibers. Nanofibers were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The characterization results suggest that Fe3O4 nanoparticles with average size of 45 nm were successfully bound on the surface of chitosan. The cross-linked nanofibers were found to contain uniformly dispersed Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The size and morphology of the nanofibers network was controlled by varying the cross-linker type. FTIR data show that these two polymers have intermolecular interactions. The sample with TPP cross-linker showed an enhancement of the controlled release properties of BSA during 30-h experimental investigation.

Considering that the common osteogenic growth factors cannot be transplanted with stem cells to the patients, many studies are underway to find a replacement for these factors. Recently, it has been determined that mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived conditioned medium (CM) contains effective factors in the bone formation process. In the current study, the synergistic effect of adipose-derived MSC’s CM, and polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold was investigated on the osteogenic differentiation potential of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). After scaffold fabrication by electrospinning and characterization by scanning electron microscopy, iPSCs proliferation in the presence of CM, PCL, and both was evaluated using 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide. Then, iPSCs osteogenic differentiation was investigated while cultured on tissue culture plate and PCL under CM compared with the osteogenic medium using alizarin red staining, calcium content, alkaline phosphatase activity and gene and protein expression analysis. Proliferation rate of the iPSCs was increased while cultured under CM and its effect was synergistically enhanced by culture on PCL. Evaluation of the osteogenic markers was showed CM alone could induce osteogenic differentiation into the iPSCs and this potential was significantly increased while combined with PCL nanofibrous scaffold. According to the results, it was demonstrated that CM has an osteogenic induction property almost the same of the common osteogenic medium and it can also be used potentially with stem cells when transplant to the patients. CM can also help by prolonging cell survival at the site of the defect as well as accelerating healing process. 相似文献
