PL-04 Regulation of self-renewal, proliferation and differentiation in an adult stem cell lineage
to connect cells together is ‘‘adherens junction (AJ)’’, which comprises cadherin receptors, associated proteins termed catenins, and cytoskeletons. The cadherin–catenin complex interacts with actin filaments via a-catenin. Recent analysis identified linkers between a-catenin and F-actin. The presence or absence of such linkers can alter the morphology of cell junctions, epithelial or mesenchym...
متن کاملDNA damage-induced Lok/CHK2 activation compromises germline stem cell self-renewal and lineage differentiation.
Stem cells in adult tissues are constantly exposed to genotoxic stress and also accumulate DNA damage with age. However, it remains largely unknown how DNA damage affects both stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. In this study, we show that DNA damage retards germline stem cell (GSC) self-renewal and progeny differentiation in a Lok kinase-dependent manner in the Drosophila ovary. Both h...
متن کاملLrig1 Expression Defines a Distinct Multipotent Stem Cell Population in Mammalian Epidermis
Lrig1 is a marker of human interfollicular epidermal stem cells and helps maintain stem cell quiescence. We show that, in mouse epidermis, Lrig1 defines the hair follicle junctional zone adjacent to the sebaceous glands and infundibulum. Lrig1 is a Myc target gene; loss of Lrig1 increases the proliferative capacity of stem cells in culture and results in epidermal hyperproliferation in vivo. Lr...
متن کاملCell lineage in mammalian craniofacial mesenchyme
We have analysed the contributions of neural crest and mesoderm to mammalian craniofacial mesenchyme and its derivatives by cell lineage tracing experiments in mouse embryos, using the permanent genetic markers Wnt1-cre for neural crest and Mesp1-cre for mesoderm, combined with the Rosa26 reporter. At the end of neural crest cell migration (E9.5) the two patterns are reciprocal, with a mutual b...
متن کاملPten, Tumorigenesis, and Stem Cell Self-Renewal
Self-renewal pathways crucial for maintaining stem cells are deregulated in cancer, raising the spectre that cancer therapies targeting such pathways might also ablate normal stem cells. As Yilmaz et al. (2006) report in a recent Nature paper, this may not be the case for the tumor suppressor protein Pten, which drives the self-renewal of normal hematopoietic stem cells and the formation of leu...
