To find out genes regulated by geranylgeraniol (GGOH) treatment in peritoneal macrophage, we compared gene expression of cells treated with 200ng ml LPS and 250 micromolar compactin versus 200ng ml LPS, 250 micromolar compactin and 100micromolar GGOH.
Sufficient production of geranylgeraniol is required to maintain endotoxin tolerance in macrophages.

View SamplesInduced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells were produced from reprogramming of somatic cells, and they are shown to possess pluripotent properties similar to embryonic stem (ES) cells. Here we used microarrays to detail the global expression pattern among the ES cells and iPS cells, as well as the original mouse embryo fibroblast (MEF), to identify important players involved in the reprogramming process.
iPS cells produce viable mice through tetraploid complementation.

ATF4 plays a pivotal role in the development of functional hematopoietic stem cells in mouse fetal liver.

View SamplesIn this study, we demonstrated that deletion of the activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) resulted in severely impaired HSC expansion in the fetal liver at E12.5 and E15.5. In contrast, generation of the first HSC population in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros region at E11.5 was not significantly affected. Furthermore, the HSC-supporting ability of both endothelial and stromal cells in fetal liver was significantly compromised in the absence of ATF4. Gene profiling using RNA-seq revealed down-regulated expression of a panel of cytokines in ATF4-/- stromal cells, including angiopoietin-like protein 3 (Angptl3) and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA).
