Oncogenic DMTF1β promotes cancer cell motility by regulating autophagy through ULK1 stabilization

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In the current study, we demonstrate that the oncogene DMTF1β regulates ULK1 stability by reducing its proteasomal degradation in cancer cells. This stabilization enables ULK1 to induce autophagy, which in turn facilitates cancer cell migration. Consequently, reduced DMTF1β levels lead to decreased autophagy and impaired cancer cell migration.

Epigenetic regulation of germ cell and early embryonic development by Polycomb group proteins [PDF]

, 2011
Mammalian development begins at fertilization, when two highly specialized gametes, sperm and oocyte fuse to form a zygote. It is well established that early development of the embryo is driven by factors that are inherited from the oocyte.

Trophoblast lineage specification in the mammalian preimplantation embryo

Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2020
Background The establishment of the trophectoderm (TE) and the inner cell mass (ICM) is the first cell lineage segregation that occurs in mammalian preimplantation development. TE will contribute to the placenta while ICM cells give rise to the epiblast (

Primitive erythropoiesis in the mammalian embryo

The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2010
Erythropoiesis in adult mammals is characterized by the progressive maturation of hematopoietic stem cells to lineage-specific progenitors, to morphologically identifiable precursors which enucleate to form mature erythrocytes. In contrast, primitive erythropoiesis is characterized by the appearance within the yolk sac of a transient, lineage ...

Bridging the gap: a genetically validated avian chorioallantoic membrane platform for investigation of spontaneous circulating tumor cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We established the avian chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay as a scalable in vivo model for studying circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Human gastrointestinal tumors spontaneously released genetically validated CTCs that were detected across multiple platforms, demonstrating that the CAM model provides an accessible tool for investigating early cancer ...

The Wnt/TCF7L1 transcriptional repressor axis drives primitive endoderm formation by antagonizing naive and formative pluripotency

Nature Communications, 2023
Signal transduction and gene expression regulation via downstream transcription factors shape the early mammalian embryo. Here the authors show that Wnt/TCF7L1 transcriptional repressive activity is required for primitive endoderm lineage formation.

The C‐terminal region of KIF26B is indispensable for nephron progenitor condensation and kidney formation in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KIF26B plays an important role in kidney development. We engineered mice lacking the C‐terminal region of KIF26B and found severe kidney defects, including bilateral renal agenesis, similar to full Kif26b knockout mice. The mutation disrupted nephron progenitor condensation and reduced Gdnf‐Wnt11 signaling, showing that the KIF26B C‐terminal region is ...

Dynamic enlargement and mobilization of lipid droplets in pluripotent cells coordinate morphogenesis during mouse peri-implantation development

Nature Communications, 2022
Prior to its implantation into the uterus, the mammalian embryo stores substantial lipids. Here the authors unveil how lipid storage and morphogenesis of pluripotent stem cells are fundamentally connected during peri-implantation development.

Small RNA pathways in mammalian oocytes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Three distinct small RNA pathways operate in mammalian oocytes: RNAi interference (RNAi), the microRNA (miRNA) pathway, and the PIWI‐associated RNA (piRNA) pathway. These pathways use small RNAs to guide sequence‐specific repression and contribute to oocyte biology by targeting genes and mobile elements or appear insignificant since different ...

RNA interference is ineffective as a routine method for gene silencing in chick embryos as monitored by fgf8 silencing. [PDF]

, 2013
The in vivo accessibility of the chick embryo makes it a favoured model system for experimental developmental biology. Although the range of available techniques now extends to miss-expression of genes through in ovo electroporation, it remains difficult
