  • Identification of transcription and processing signals of ribosomal genes of D. melanogaster. (cnr.it)
  • We found by quantitative real time PCR that NOTCH1, NOTCH2, Dll-1, Jagged-1, and NOTCH pathway downstream genes hes1, hey1, hey2, heyL were considerably decreased in ND-hMSCs after shifting them from normal culture medium to OD medium, indicating that NOTCH signalling was gradually suppressed during MSC osteogenesis. (vub.be)
  • When the NOTCH signalling inhibitor DAPT was added to MM-hMSCs in OD medium, we found that hes1 expression was suppressed while, RUNX2 expression, a key transcription factor for osteoblastogenesis, as well as ALP activity, osteogenic genes expression and mineralization deposition were all increased.

  • At the transition point, where the hindbrain system of segmentation gives way to regional patterning by local gradients in the midbrain, the most anterior hindbrain segment, rhombomere 1 (r1), expresses neither Hox or Otx genes and displays aspects of both patterning systems. (biomedcentral.com)
  • However, the molecular mechanisms by which Otx and other transcription factors (TFs) interact with the genome to direct head formation are largely unknown. (xenbase.org)
  • This implicates that the NOTCH signaling pathway remains in MM-hMSCs over-activated even in the presence of osteogenesis inducing signals. (vub.be)
  • In conclusion our data indicate that MM-hMSCs exhibit in vitro lower osteogenic differentiation ability compared to ND-hMSCs, and that this impairement is associated with an inappropriate NOTCH pathway deactivation during the osteogenesis process. (vub.be)
  • Here, we use mathematical modeling to demonstrate that geometry dictates the neural-epidermal cell fate choice in the 32-cell stage ascidian embryo by a two-step process involving first the modulation of ERK signaling and second, the expression of the neural marker gene, Otx. (bvsalud.org)
