Project description:NIH3T3 in the middle of G0 to G1 transion consists of the cells which is still staying G0 phase and the cells which enters G1. Monitoring the expressions of p27 and Cdt1 enables to distinguish these two; p27+/Cdt1+ cells as the cells in G0 phase and p27-Cdt1+ cells as G1 phase We sorted p27+Cdt1+ (G0) NIH3T3 cells and p27-Cdt1+ (G1) NIH3T3 cells in the middle of G0-G1 transition, 5 hours after serum addition following the serum addition using mVenus-p27K- and mCherry-hCdt1(30/120) . We compared the expression profiles of these NIH3T3 cells in G0 and G1 phases and identified the genes upregulated in G0 or G1 phases.

The p27+Cdt1+ (G0) NIH3T3 cells and p27-Cdt1+ (G1) NIH3T3 cells were sorted by FACS for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:To characterize LICs in ALL irrespective of surface markers expression, we investigated leukemia initiating activities of cellular subfractions of patient-derived xenograft BCP-ALL cells sorted according to different cell cycle phases (i.e. G0/G1 and G2/M) followed by transplantation onto NOD/SCID mice. All cell fractions led to leukemia engraftment indicating LIC activity irrespective of cell cycle stage. Most importantly, cells isolated from G0/G1 cell cycle phases led to early leukemia engraftment in contrast to cells from late cell cycle (G2/M). To further characterize cells with different engraftment potential in vivo, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of early (G1b early) and late (G2/M) engrafting cells.
Project description:We collected whole genome testis expression data from hybrid zone mice. We integrated GWAS mapping of testis expression traits and low testis weight to gain insight into the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility.
Project description:Damage to genomic DNA, especially as DNA double strand breaks (DSB), elicits prompt activation of DNA damage response (DDR) which arrest cell-cycle either G1/S or G2/M to avoid entering S and M phase with DNA damage. In mammalian organs cells are in both proliferating and quiescent states. Quiescent cells are already arrested in G0, therefore there may be fundamental difference in DDR between proliferating and quiescent cells. To address these differences we studied recruitment of DSB repair factors and resolution of DNA lesions induced at site-specific DSBs occurring at different cell cycle phases, i.e. in asynchronously proliferating, G0, and G1 arrested cells. Strikingly, DSBs occurring in G0 quiescent cells are irreparable with a sustained activation of p53-pathway. Conversely, reentry of G0-damaged cells into cell cycle progression, show a delayed clearance of recruited DNA repair factors bound at DSBs, indicating an inefficient repair when compared to DSBs induced in asynchronously proliferating or G1 cells. Moreover, we found that initial recognition of DSBs and assembly of DSB factors is largely similar at different cell cycle phases. Our study thereby demonstrates the crucial role of cell cycle phases in repair and resolution of DSBs.
Project description:In order to identify genes associated with the engraftment potential of human hematopoietic stem cells, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling of G0 and G1 phase CD34+ cells derived from bone marrow, mobilized peripheral blood, and umbilical cord blood. Samples were collected from healthy adult volunteers after obtaining informed consent according to the guidelines of the Investigational Review Board of Indiana University School of Medicine. CD34+ cells were selected and fractionated into G0 and G1 phases of cell cycle on a flow cytometer. Purity of sorted cells was further confirmed by qRT-PCR by measuring the relative expression of Ki67. Sorted cells were subjeccted to microarray analysis. Three biological replicates of sorted and confirmed G0 and G1 cells from bone marrow, mobilized peripheral blood, and umbilical cord blood (total of eighteen samples) were subjected to microarray analysis. To generate distinct and unique sets of data, we did not pool multiple samples from any tissue studied so that each sample or its replicate was from a single donor.
