Rates and patterns of great ape retrotransposition.
We analyzed 83 fully sequenced great ape genomes for mobile element insertions, predicting a total of 49,452 fixed and polymorphic Alu and long interspersed element 1 (L1) insertions not present in the human reference assembly and assigning each retrotransposition event to a different time point during great ape evolution. We used these homoplasy-free markers to construct a mobile element inser...
متن کاملCardiomyocyte generation using stem cells and directly reprogrammed cells.
Cardiomyocytes are terminally differentiated cells with limited regenerative capacity in the adult heart, making cell replacement therapy an attractive option to repair injured hearts. Embryonic stem (ES) cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are pluripotent and capable of infinite expansion in vitro, implicating them as ideal cell types for cell replacement therapy. During the past se...
متن کاملDopaminergic-like cells from epigenetically reprogrammed mesenchymal stem cells
A number of recent studies have examined the ability of stem cells derived from different sources to differentiate into dopamine-producing cells and ameliorate behavioural deficits in Parkinsonian models. Recently, using the approach of cell reprogramming by small cell-permeable biological active compounds that involved in the regulation of chromatin structure and function, and interfere with s...
متن کاملHigh Frequency Retrotransposition in Cultured Mammalian Cells
We previously isolated two human L1 elements (L1.2 and LRE2) as the progenitors of disease-producing insertions. Here, we show these elements can actively retrotranspose in cultured mammalian cells. When stably expressed from an episome in HeLa cells, both elements retrotransposed into a variety of chromosomal locations at a high frequency. The retrotransposed products resembled endogenous L1 i...
متن کاملOligodendrocyte precursor cells reprogrammed to become multipotential CNS stem cells.
During animal development, cells become progressively more restricted in the cell types to which they can give rise. In the central nervous system (CNS), for example, multipotential stem cells produce various kinds of specified precursors that divide a limited number of times before they terminally differentiate into either neurons or glial cells. We show here that certain extracellular signals...
