Noncoding transcription controls downstream promoters to regulate Tcell receptor recombination
The T early a (TEA) promoter in the murine Tcra locus generates noncoding transcripts that extend across the 65kb Ja array. Here, we have analyzed the significance of TEA transcription for Tcra locus regulation through the targeted introduction of a transcription terminator downstream of the TEA promoter. We demonstrate that noncoding transcription driven by this single promoter can instruct bo...
متن کاملIn Vitro Assessment of the Gene Expression of EZH-2 and P300 During Motor Neuron Differentiation of Human Umbilical Cord Blood Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Introduction: Maintenance of neurogenesis depends on the function of some histone-modifying enzymes; including Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and histone acetyltransferases (P300). The mechanism of epigenetic regulation and gene expression underlying the transition of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs) into MNs has not been fully clarified. Methods: Two morphoge...
متن کاملA Review of Procedures Involved in Human Umbilical Cord Blood Banking and Transplantation
Cord blood hematopoietic stem cells are widely used as an alternative source for hematopoietic stem cells transplant. Increasing rate of patients who need hematopoietic stem cells transplant and many advantages of cord blood in comparison to bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells, have promoted banking of cord blood units. Cord blood banking requires accurate steps in donor selection, cord blood ...
متن کاملPromiscuous Presentation and Recognition of Nucleosomal Autoepitopes in Lupus: Role of Autoimmune TCell Receptor a Chain
T cells specific for nucleosomal autoepitopes are selectively expanded in lupus mice and these Th cells drive autoimmune B cells to produce pathogenic antinuclear antibodies. We transfected the TCRa and b chain genes of a representative, pathogenic autoantibody-inducing Th clone specific for the nucleosomal core histone peptide H4 71–94 into TCR-negative recipient cells. Although the autoimmune...
متن کاملIsolation of Precursor B-cell Subsets from Umbilical Cord Blood
Umbilical cord blood is highly enriched for hematopoietic progenitor cells at different lineage commitment stages. We have developed a protocol for isolating precursor B-cells at four different stages of differentiation. Because genes are expressed and epigenetic modifications occur in a tissue specific manner, it is vital to discriminate between tissues and cell types in order to be able to id...
