چکیده
The ability of adult stem cells to reside in a quiescent state is crucial for preventing premature exhaustion of the stem cell pool. However, the intrinsic epigenetic factors that regulate spermatogonial stem cell quiescenceare largelyunknown.Here,we investigate inmicehowDNA methyltransferase 3-like (DNMT3L), an epigenetic regulator important for interpreting chromatin context and facilitating de novo DNA methylation, sustains the long-term male germ cell pool. We demonstrated that stem cell-enriched THY1 spermatogonial stem/ progenitor cells (SPCs) constituted a DNMT3L-expressing population in postnatal testes. DNMT3L influenced the stability of promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF), potentially by downregulatingCdk2/CDK2 expression, which sequestered CDK2-mediated PLZF degradation. Reduced PLZF inDnmt3l KOTHY1 cells released its antagonist, Sallike protein 4A (SALL4A), which is associated with overactivated ERK and AKT signaling cascades. Furthermore, DNMT3L was required to suppress thecell proliferation-promoting factorSALL4B inTHY1SPCs and to prevent premature stem cell exhaustion. Our results indicate that DNMT3L is required todelicatelybalance the cyclingandquiescenceof SPCs. These findings reveal a novel role for DNMT3L in modulating postnatal SPC cell fate decisions.

Radioreceptor assay for a new antiallergic agent, 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-2-(4-methyl-1-homopiperazinyl)benzimidazole difumarate (KB-2413), in plasma.
A radioreceptor assay (RRA) for the quantitative determination of a new antiallergic agent, 1(2-ethoxyethyl)-2-(4-methy1-1-homopiperazinyl)benzimidazole difumarate (KB-2413), has been developed. This RRA method, based upon competitive binding of [3H]mepyramine and KB-2413 to histamine H, receptors in guinea pig cerebellum, allows the simple, sensitive and reproducible determination of KB-2413 i...
متن کاملCutting Edge: Allele-specific and peptide-dependent interactions between KIR3DL1 and HLA-A and HLA-B.
Although it is clear that KIR3DL1 recognizes Bw4(+) HLA-B, the role of Bw4(+) HLA-A allotypes as KIR3DL1 ligands is controversial. We therefore examined the binding of tetrameric HLA-A and -B complexes, including HLA*2402, a common Bw4(+) HLA-A allotype, to KIR3DL1*001, *005, *007, and *1502 allotypes. Only Bw4(+) tetramers bound KIR3DL1. Three of four HLA-A*2402 tetramers bound one or more KIR...
متن کاملIdentification of HLA-A24-Restricted Novel T Cell Epitope Peptides Derived from P-Cadherin and Kinesin Family Member 20A
We here identified human leukocyte antigen-(HLA-)A(∗)2402-restricted epitope peptides from Cadherin 3, type 1, P-cadherin (CDH3) and kinesin family member 20A (KIF20A) that were found to be specifically expressed in cancer cells through genome-wide expression profile analysis. CDH3-10-807 peptide and KIF20A-10-66 peptide successfully induced specific CTL clones, and these selectively responded ...
متن کاملPredictive biomarkers for the efficacy of peptide vaccine treatment: based on the results of a phase II study on advanced pancreatic cancer
BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to explore novel biomarkers that can predict the clinical outcome of patients before treatment or during vaccination. These would be useful for the selection of appropriate patients who would be expected to exhibit better treatment outcomes from vaccination, and for facilitating the development of cancer vaccine treatments. METHODS From a single...
