Heterogeneity and stochastic growth regulation of biliary epithelial cells dictate dynamic epithelial tissue remodeling

eLife, 2016
Dynamic remodeling of the intrahepatic biliary epithelial tissue plays key roles in liver regeneration, yet the cellular basis for this process remains unclear.

Mouse WIF1 Is Only Modified with O-Fucose in Its EGF-like Domain III Despite Two Evolutionarily Conserved Consensus Sites

Biomolecules, 2020
The Wnt Inhibitory Factor 1 (Wif1), known to inhibit Wnt signaling pathways, is composed of a WIF domain and five EGF-like domains (EGF-LDs) involved in protein interactions.

Retinoic acid regulates erythropoietin production cooperatively with hypoxia-inducible factors in human iPSC-derived erythropoietin-producing cells

Scientific Reports, 2021
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a crucial hormone for erythropoiesis and produced by adult kidneys. Insufficient EPO production in chronic kidney disease (CKD) can cause renal anemia.

C/EBP-Induced Transdifferentiation Reveals Granulocyte-Macrophage Precursor-like Plasticity of B Cells

Stem Cell Reports, 2017
The lymphoid-myeloid transdifferentiation potentials of members of the C/EBP family (C/EBPα, β, δ, and ε) were compared in v-Abl-immortalized primary B cells. Conversion of B cells to macrophages was readily induced by the ectopic expression of any C/EBP,

Transcription shapes DNA replication initiation to preserve genome integrity

Genome Biology, 2021
Background Early DNA replication occurs within actively transcribed chromatin compartments in mammalian cells, raising the immediate question of how early DNA replication coordinates with transcription to avoid collisions and DNA damage.

Hierarchical assembly of centriole subdistal appendages via centrosome binding proteins CCDC120 and CCDC68

Nature Communications, 2017
Centriole subdistal appendages (SDAs) anchor microtubules in interphase cells, but their composition and assembly mechanisms are unclear. Here the authors show that two new SDA components, CCDC120 and CCDC68, are required for hierarchical SDA assembly ...

Therapeutic targets for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and their roles in hepatocellular carcinoma

Exploration of Digestive Diseases, 2023
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is one of the most common chronic liver diseases. Over time, there has been a significant increase in the prevalence of MASLD.

Reliable reference genes for expression analysis of proliferating and adipogenically differentiating human adipose stromal cells

Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters, 2019
Background The proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of adipose stromal cells (ASCs) are complex processes comprising major phenotypical alterations driven by up- and downregulation of hundreds of genes.

Processed Panax ginseng, sun ginseng, inhibits the differentiation and proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and fat accumulation in Caenorhabditis elegans

Journal of Ginseng Research, 2017
Background: Heat-processed ginseng, sun ginseng (SG), has been reported to have improved therapeutic properties compared with raw forms, such as increased antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antihyperglycemic effects.
