Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply01:24

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

2.9K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits.  Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

3.4K
All blood and immune cells are produced from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by the process of hematopoiesis. However, they all have a limited life span. In addition, many are depleted in immune surveillance or combatting an injury or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues. Hematopoiesis helps replenish these blood and immune cells, restoring the body's normal functioning. However, overproduction of blood and immune cells can make them cancerous or...

Maintenance of the ES Cell State

1.9K
The cells of the blastocyst inner cell mass only remain pluripotent for a short time. This state of pluripotency and self-renewal can be maintained in embryonic stem (ES) cell culture by adding specific chemicals or growth factors to ensure the cells can continue dividing and later differentiate into different cell types. In some cases, the cells are grown on a feeder layer of differentiated cells, which provides the growth factors and extracellular matrix components necessary for stem cell...

Stem Cell Niche01:26

Stem Cell Niche

5.0K
The stem cell niche is the dynamic microenvironment where stem cells reside. Inside these niches, the cells may remain undifferentiated, undergo high self-renewal, or become lineage-specific progenitors. Stem cells coexist with other niche cells, such as stromal cells. They also interact closely with the ECM. Cell-cell and cell-matrix communication occur via adhesion molecules or soluble factors that signal the stem cells and determine their fate. Stromal cells also provide survival signals to...

Cooperative Binding of Transcription Regulators

6.0K
Transcriptional regulators bind to specific cis-regulatory sequences in the DNA to regulate gene transcription. These cis-regulatory sequences are very short, usually less than ten nucleotide pairs in length. The short length means that there is a high probability of the exact same sequence randomly occurring throughout the genome.  Since regulators can also bind to groups of similar sequences, this further increases the chances of random binding. Transcriptional regulators form...

Summary

High oxygen levels in the neural tube roof plate are essential for the antineuronal factor Hes1 expression. This process involves the transcriptional corepressor CtBP, which integrates oxygen and BMP signals to prevent neurogenesis.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Biology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) from the dorsal neural tube and ectoderm specify roof plate and dorsal interneurons.
  • Signals conferring nonneurogenic character to the roof plate remain largely unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the signals that maintain the nonneurogenic character of the neural tube roof plate.
  • To elucidate the role of oxygen levels and CtBP in roof plate development.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of oxygen levels in neurogenic versus roof plate regions of the neural tube.
  • Investigating the expression of the antineuronal transcription factor Hes1.
  • Studying the function of the transcriptional corepressor CtBP in mediating oxygen-sensing responses.

Main Results:

  • The roof plate region exhibits elevated oxygen levels compared to neurogenic areas.
  • High oxygen is required for Hes1 expression in the roof plate.
  • CtBP acts as a critical mediator, decreasing its occupancy at the Hes1 promoter under high oxygen.
  • Under high oxygen and BMP conditions, CtBP associates with HES1 to repress neurogenesis.

Conclusions:

  • Elevated oxygen levels are a key factor in establishing the nonneurogenic identity of the neural tube roof plate.
  • The transcriptional corepressor CtBP integrates oxygen and BMP signals to repress neurogenesis in the roof plate.
  • This mechanism ensures the proper development of dorsal neural tube cell populations.
