Cardiac Niche Influences the Direct Reprogramming of Canine Fibroblasts into Cardiomyocyte-Like Cells

The Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies are caused by mutation of dystrophin gene and primarily affect skeletal and cardiac muscles. Cardiac involvement in dystrophic GRMD dogs has been demonstrated by electrocardiographic studies with the onset of a ...

Recombinant protein production from stable mammalian cell lines and pools

David Hacker, Sowmya Balasubramanian

We highlight recent developments for the production of recombinant proteins from suspension-adapted mammalian cell lines. We discuss the generation of stable cell lines using transposons and lentivirus vectors (non-targeted transgene integration) and site- ...

Molecular Criteria for Defining the Naive Human Pluripotent State

Didier Trono, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Julien Léonard Duc, Marc Samuel Friedli, Alexandra Iouranova, Michaël Imbeault, Julien Paul André Pontis, Haoyi Wang

Recent studies have aimed to convert cultured human pluripotent cells to a naive state, but it remains unclear to what extent the resulting cells recapitulate in vivo naive pluripotency. Here we propose a set of molecular criteria for evaluating the naive ...

Non-integrating episomal plasmid-based reprogramming of human amniotic fluid stem cells into induced pluripotent stem cells in chemically defined conditions

Lilia Salimova

Amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSC) represent an attractive potential cell source for fetal and pediatric cell-based therapies. However, upgrading them to pluripotency confers refractoriness toward senescence, higher proliferation rate and unlimited different ...

Comparison of Three Transposons for the Generation of Highly Productive Recombinant CHO Cell Pools and Cell Lines

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Yashas Rajendra, Sowmya Balasubramanian

Several naturally occurring vertebrate transposable elements have been genetically modified to enable the transposition of recombinant genes in mammalian cells. We compared three transposonspiggyBac, Tol2, and Sleeping Beautyfor their ability to generate c ...

Segmentation of Developing Human Embryo in Time-lapse Microscopy

Mathieu Salzmann

Being able to efficiently segment a developing embryo from background clutter constitutes an important step in automated monitoring of human embryonic cells. State-of-the-art automatic segmentation methods remain ill-suited to handle the complex behavior a ...

Construction of pDYN6902, a new Streptomyces integrative expression vector designed for cloning sequences interfering with Escherichia coli viability

Julien Hiblot, Pierre Leblond

We describe here the construction of a new version of the Escherichia coli-Streptomyces shuttle cloning vector pIJ6902, which carries the original thiostrepton-inducible PtipA as well as the integrative and cloning systems, but with the E. coil low copy nu ...

Transposable elements and their KRAB/KAP1 controllers broadly regulate transcription in adult human cells

Flavia Marzetta

KAP1 is a universal corepressor for the large family of KRAB-ZFP proteins that coordinates epigenetic silencing of endogenous retroelements (EREs) during early embryonic development. This process is essential not just to prevent replication of EREs, but al ...

Clonal, Self-Renewing and Differentiating Human and Porcine Urothelial Cells, a Novel Stem Cell Population

Yann Barrandon, Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Hans Mattias Larsson, François Gorostidi

Although urothelial progenitor-like cells have been described in the human urinary tract, the existence of stem cells remains to be proven. Using a culture system that favors clonogenic epithelial cell growth, we evaluated and characterized clonal human ur ...

Loss of transcriptional control over endogenous retroelements during reprogramming to pluripotency

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Bastien Mangeat, Marc Samuel Friedli, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Gabriela Ecco, Helen Mary Rowe, Benjamin Rauwel, Carmen Maria Unzu Ezquerro

Endogenous retroelements (EREs) account for about half of the mouse or human genome, and their potential as insertional mutagens and transcriptional perturbators is suppressed by early embryonic epigenetic silencing. Here, we asked how ERE control is maint ...
