- Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array (rat2302)
Description
Carbon nanotubes are cylindrically-shaped carbon nanostructures, made up of layers of graphene rolled onto themselves, with diameters similar to those of neuronal processes. In the last decade, CNT have been used as biocompatible growing substrates for neuronal attachment, differentiation and growth. In the perspective of new developments in tissue engineering, and in particular in spinal cord repair strategies, based on the use of CNTs, our aim is to clarify the biophysical interactions between CNTs and spinal cord neurons, studying the development of the morphological and functional characteristics of spinal neurons grown on CNT-based interfaces.

Description
Recent studies have shown that the RNA binding protein Musashi 2 (Msi2) plays prominent roles during development and leukemia. Additionally, in embryonic stem cells (ESC) undergoing the early stages of differentiation, Msi2 has been shown to associate with Sox2, which is required for the self-renewal of ESC. These findings led us to examine the effects of Msi2 on the behavior of ESC. Using an shRNA sequence that targets Msi2 and a scrambled shRNA sequence, we determined that knockdown of Msi2 disrupts the self-renewal of ESC and promotes their differentiation. Collectively, our findings argue that Msi2 is required to support the self-renewal and pluripotency of ESC.

- Affymetrix Chicken Genome Array (chicken)
Description
Purpose: The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) forms the outer blood-retinal barrier. Primary cultures of RPE can model the barrier, but are very sensitive to culture conditions. We examined how the neural retina regulates the RPE transcriptome in a culture model of embryonic development. Attention focused on the tight junctional genes essential for barrier function.

- Affymetrix Chicken Genome Array (chicken)
Description
Purpose: The morphology of the RPE shows minimal change as the neural retina and choriocapillaris differentiate. Nonetheless, initial studies of barrier-related proteins suggest extensive remodeling of the RPE in response to this changing environment. A genomic approach was used to investigate the extent of this remodeling.

Analysis of the RPE transcriptome reveals dynamic changes during the development of the outer blood-retinal barrier.

Description
Coordinate expression of the somatic cell reprogramming factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc within embryonic stem cells preserves the self-renewal of these cells, while allowing for the expression epitope tagged Sox2. Taking advantage of this observation, we engineered embryonic stem cells (i-OSKM-ESC) to inducibly express Oct4, Klf4, c-Myc and an epitope tagged form of Sox2 from a polycistronic element, in the presence of doxycycline. We isolated Sox2 and its associated protein complexes by co-immunoprecipitation. Subsequently, we identified the Sox2-protein interactome in self-renewing embryonic stem cells using an unbiased proteomic screen (Multidimensional Protein Identification Technology [MudPIT]).

Description
To gain insight into the dynamic molecular processes that are altered during prolonged wakefulness and during sleep. We performed an RNA expression profiling study examining temporal changes in the brain of Drosophila in relationship to the duration of prior sleep or wakefulness. Our experimental design allowed us to determine whether genes identified as differentially regulated between sleep and wakefulness were up- or down-regulated in these states.

Description
Platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) signaling plays an important role in the embryonic formation of many different tissues. There is a family of PDGF isoforms which signal through the PDGF receptors (PDGFR) and (PDGFR). PDGF regulates many key cellular processes of mesenchymal cell function including proliferation, differentiation, migration and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis. While PDGF has been used to enhance flexor tendon healingin vivo, its role in postnatal tendon growth has remained largely unexplored. To determine the importance of PDGFR signaling in postnatal tendon growth, we performed pharmacological blockade of PDGFR and PDGFR, and then induced tendon growth via mechanical overload using the hindlimb synergist ablation model. Our hypothesis was that inhibition of PDGFR signaling will restrict normal growth of tendon tissue in response to mechanical loading.
