Related Articles Requirement for COUP-TFI and II in the temporal specification of neural stem cells in CNS development. Nat Neurosci. 2008 Aug 24; Authors: Naka H, Nakamura S, Shimazaki T, Okano H In the developing CNS, subtypes of neurons and glial cells are generated according to a schedule that is defined by cell-intrinsic mechanisms that function at the progenitor-cell level. However, no critical molecular switch for the temporal specification of CNS progenitor cells has been identified. We found that chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter-transcription factor I and II (Coup-tfI and Coup-tfII, also known as Nr2f1 and Nr2f2) are required for the temporal specification of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs), including their acquisition of gliogenic competence, as demonstrated by their responsiveness to gliogenic cytokines. COUP-TFI and II are transiently co-expressed in the ventricular zone of the early embryonic CNS. The double knockdown of Coup-tfI/II in embryonic stem cell (ESC)-derived NSPCs and the developing mouse forebrain caused sustained neurogenesis and the prolonged generation of early-born neurons. These findings reveal a part of the timer mechanisms for generating diverse types of neurons and glial cells during CNS development. PMID: 18711395 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] ...

Cell Biol Int. 2008 May;32(5):484-93 Authors: Wang Z, Li L It has been shown in many investigations that the abnormally increasing production and deposition of collagen is one of the important mechanisms of pathological scars and other fibrotic diseases [Wang Z, Inokuchi T, Nemoto TK, Uehara M, Baba TT.

Related Articles The effects of thalidomide on chemotactic migration of multiple myeloma cell lines. Int J Lab Hematol. 2008 Jun;30(3):220-9 Authors: Fuchida SI, Shimazaki C, Hirai H, Akamatsu S, Yamada N, Uchida R, Okano A, Okamoto M, Inaba T, Taniwaki M We examined the effect of thalidomide and dexamethasone on the migration of multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines, U266, RPMI8226, and NCI-H929, using chemotaxis chamber plates. U266 underwent chemotactic migration in response to stromal-cell derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1alpha), and other cell lines underwent random migration in response to SDF-1alpha or monocyte chemotactic protein-1 alpha. Following preincubation with 1 mug/ml thalidomide, the cell lines showed reduced migratory capacity in response to SDF-1alpha. Concerning the corresponding receptors, CXC chemokine receptor 4 was detected only on the surface of U266, by flow cytometry, whereas chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 2 was not detected on all three cell lines. Moreover, decreased migration by thalidomide was not accompanied by altered expression of the corresponding receptors of each cell line. This is the first report to show the effects of thalidomide on the migration of MM cell lines. The results suggest that the inhibition of chemotactic migration might be one of the mechanisms of the success of thalidomide in controlling MM. PMID: 18479301 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] ...
