Ueki Y, Shchepetkina V, Lefcort F (2018) Retina-specific loss of Ikbkap/Elp1 causes mitochondrial dysfunction that leads to selective retinal ganglion cell degeneration in a mouse model of familial dysautonomia. Dis Model Mech 11(7):dmm033746. doi: 10.1242/dmm.033746 PMID: 29929962

Objective: To determine the pathophysiological mechanisms that are triggered by the absence of IKAP (inhibitor of kappa B kinase complex-associated protein) in the retina.

Summary: The loss of IKAP caused progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) by 1 month of age. There was no loss of melanopsin+ intrinsically photosensitive RGCs at 18 months. RGCs were the only cell type that degenerated, with the survival of other retinal neurons unaffected.

Usage: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), RGC Counts, and H&E staining – Anti-melanopsin (1:5000).

Sparks NR (2018) The embryotoxic effects of harm reduction tobacco products on osteoblasts developing from human embryonic stem cells. University of California Riverside Thesis.

Objective: To investigate the effect of maternal smoking in the development of embryonic skeleton and the molecular mechanisms involved in skeletal embryotoxicity induced by conventional and harm-reduction tobacco.

Summary: An in vitro model based on human embryonic stem cells was developed, that mimics the development of the human embryo; their differentiation into osteoblasts in vitro can be used to study chemical toxicity and the molecular mechanisms thereof. Tobacco-induced oxidative stress disrupts osteogenic differentiation in human embryonic stem cells.

Summary: Melanopsin-positive retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) do not respond to axotomy in the same way than the rest of RGCs, and so while image-forming RGCs die in two exponential phases, non-image forming RGCs die only during the first quick phase.

Usage: Retinas were dissected as flat mounts and double-immunostained against melanopsin (1:5000).

Objective: To describe methods for the direct conversion of mouse embryonic fibroblasts into neural crest cells (NCCs).

Summary: Sox10-IRES-Venus mouse fibroblasts were used for the conversion and isolation of converted NCCs as SOX10-positive cells.

Cell Stem Cell 22(5):653-667.e5. doi: 10.1016/j.stem.2018.03.017 PMID: 29656941

Objective: To investigate whether a lineage relationship exists between two stem cell compartments that contribute to airway repair – basal cells in the surface airway epithelium (SAE) and an unknown submucosal gland (SMG) celltype.

Summary: Using lineage tracing of glandular myoepithelial cells (MECs), they demonstrate that MECs can give rise to seven cell types of the SAE and SMGs following severe airway injury. MECs progressively adopted a basal cell phenotype on the SAE and established asting progenitors capable of further regeneration following reinjury. MECs activate Wnt-regulated transcription factors (Lef-1/TCF7) following injury and Lef-1 induction in cultured MECs promoted transition to a basal cell phenotype. Surprisingly, dose-dependent MEC conditional activation of Lef-1in vivo promoted self-limited airway regeneration in the absence of injury.

Objective: To show that myoepithelial cells (MECs) of the submucosal glands (SMGs) proliferate and migrate to repopulate the airway surface epithelium (SE) in multiple injury models.

Summary: SMG-like cells appear on the SE of extra-and intra-lobular airways of large animal lungs following severe injury. The transcription factor SOX9 is necessary for MEC plasticity in airway regeneration.
