Project description:Over the past few years, studies of DNA isolated from human fossils and archaeological remains have generated considerable novel insight into the history of our species. Several landmark papers have described the genomes of ancient human ancestors and have demonstrated that contemporary humans harbour genetic material from ancient close relatives, the Neanderthals and Denisovans, and that ancient human individuals are often genetically distinct from nearby extant populations whilst also showing affinities with populations from further afield. Across West Eurasia, there is growing genetic evidence of large-scale, dynamic population movements over the period between 10,000 to 2,000 years ago, such that the ancestry across present-day populations is likely to be a mixture of several ancient groups. Whilst these efforts are bringing the details of West Eurasian prehistory into increasing focus, studies aimed at understanding the processes behind the generation of the current West Eurasian genetic landscape have been limited by the number of populations sampled, or have been either too regional or global in their outlook. Here, using recently described haplotype-based techniques, we present the results of a systematic survey of recent admixture history across Western Eurasia and show that admixture is a universal property across almost all groups. Admixture in all regions except North Western Europe involved the influx of genetic material from outside of West Eurasia, which we date to specific time periods. Within Northern, Western, and Central Europe, admixture tended to occur between local groups during the period 300 to 1200CE. Comparisons of the genetic profiles of West Eurasians before and after admixture show that population movements within the last 1500 years are likely to have maintained differentiation amongst groups. Our analysis provides a timeline of the gene flow events that have generated the contemporary genetic landscape of West Eurasia.

Project description:Myxomas, the most common primary tumor of the heart, usually develop in the atria and consist of a myxoid matrix composed of an acid-mucopolysaccharide-rich stroma with polygonal stromal cells scattered throughout the matrix. These benign tumors, despite their rarity, are a research focus because of their clinical presentation and uncertain histogenesis. The objective of this study was to assess whether adult cardiac stem/progenitor cells (CSCs) give rise to myxoma stromal cells and secrete the typical myxoid matrix. 23 collected tumors showed the typical histological features of cardiac atrial myxoma with polygonal cells positive for the myxoma tumor-cell marker, calretinin, dispersed in an abundant myxoid matrix. We detected myxoma cells positive for c-kit (c-kitpos) but very rare Isl-1 positive cells. Most of these c-kitpos cells were lineage-committed CD45pos/CD31pos cells. However, c-kitpos /CD45neg/CD31neg cardiac myxoma cells expressed stemness and cardiac progenitor cell transcription factors. Some (<10%) of these c-kitpos/ CD45neg/CD31neg/ myxoma cells expressed also calretinin, representing myxoma stromal precursor cells. c-kitpos/CD45neg/CD31neg cardiac myxoma cells secrete in vitro chondroitin-6-sulfate and hyaluronic acid, composing the gelatinous matrix of cardiac myxoma in vivo. In vitro, c-kitpos/CD45neg/CD31neg myxoma cells have stem cell properties being clonogenic, self-renewing and sphere forming. On the other hand, they exhibited an abortive cardiac differentiation potential with significant changes in their mRNA and microRNA transcriptome compared to normal c-kitpos/CD45neg /CD31neg CSCs. Importantly, myxoma-derived CSCs seed human atrial myxoma in xenograft’s experiments in NOD/SCID mice. Thus, un-committed c-kitpos/CD45neg /CD31neg cells fulfill the criteria of myxoma stem cells in atrial myxoma. Myxomas appear to be the first CSC-related human cardiac disease.
