Dynamics and predicted drug response of a gene network linking dedifferentiation with β-catenin dysfunction in hepatocellular carcinoma
2019
Background & Aims Alterations of individual genes variably affect the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Thus, we aimed to characterize the function of tumor-promoting genes in the context of gene regulatory networks (GRNs). Methods Using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas, from the LIRI-JP (Liver Cancer – RIKEN, JP project), and from our transcriptomic, transfection and mouse transgenic experiments, we identify a GRN which functionally links LIN28B-dependent dedifferentiation with dysfunction of β-catenin (CTNNB1). We further generated and validated a quantitative mathematical model of the GRN using human cell lines and in vivo expression data. Results We found that LIN28B and C…
Efficient Reprogramming of Human Fibroblasts and Blood-Derived Endothelial Progenitor Cells Using Nonmodified RNA for Reprogramming and Immune Evasion
2015
mRNA reprogramming results in the generation of genetically stable induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells while avoiding the risks of genomic integration. Previously published mRNA reprogramming protocols have proven to be inconsistent and time-consuming and mainly restricted to fibroblasts, thereby demonstrating the need for a simple but reproducible protocol applicable to various cell types. So far there have been no published reports using mRNA to reprogram any cell type derived from human blood. Nonmodified synthetic mRNAs are immunogenic and activate cellular defense mechanisms, which can lead to cell death and inhibit mRNA translation upon repetitive transfection. Hence, to overcome RNA…

INTRODUCCIÓN El embarazo ectópico (EE) es una complicación precoz de la gestación en la cual un óvulo fecundado se implanta en un sitio distinto al endometrio de la cavidad uterina. siendo el lugar más frecuente la trompa de Falopio (95-98%). Su incidencia resulta variable en la literatura médica, oscilando entre el 0,6 y el 2% de los embarazos documentados, presentándose con picos más altos en la adolescencia. Este continúa siendo la principal causa de muerte materna en las primeras etapas de la gestación (4-10% de las muertes relacionadas con el embarazo en países desarrollados) y una de las urgencias quirúrgicas más frecuentes del primer trimestre. El EE no es solo una causa importante d…
