Rostro-caudal patterning of vertebrates depends on the temporally progressive activation HOX genes within axial stem cells that fuel embryo elongation. Whether pace sequential genes, 'HOX clock', is controlled by intrinsic chromatin-based timing mechanisms or temporal changes in extrinsic cues remains unclear. Here, we studied clock pacing human pluripotent cell-derived progenitors differentiating into diverse spinal cord motor neuron subtypes. We show caudal a dynamic increase FGF...

Experimental autoimmune epididymo-orchitis (EAEO) is a model of chronic inflammation, induced by immunisation with testicular antigens, which reproduces the pathology some types human infertility. Activins A and B regulate spermatogenesis steroidogenesis, but are also pro-inflammatory, pro-fibrotic cytokines. Expression activins their endogenous antagonists, inhibin follistatin, was examined in murine EAEO. Adult untreated adjuvant-treated control mice showed no pathology. All immunised...

Experimental autoimmune orchitis (EAO) is a rodent model of chronic testicular inflammation that mimics the pathology observed in some types human infertility. In previous study, expression inflammatory/immunoregulatory cytokine, activin A, was elevated adult mice during onset EAO, indicating potential role regulation disease. Consequently, we examined development EAO with levels follistatin, an endogenous antagonist, as therapeutic approach to inflammation. Prior induction, received single...

Abstract 90 Sr is one of the radionuclides released after nuclear accidents that can significantly impact human health in long term. accumulates mostly bones exposed populations. Previous research has shown exposure induces changes bone physiology both humans and mice. We hypothesize that, due to its close location with marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), could induce functional damage may explain these biological effects chronic Sr. The aim this work was verify hypothesis through use an vitro...

Strontium 90 (90Sr) remains in the environment long after a major nuclear disaster occurs. As result, populations living on contaminated land are potentially exposed to daily ingesting of low quantities 90Sr. The potential long-term health effects such chronic contamination unknown. In this study, we used mouse model evaluate 90Sr ingestion immune system, animals were chronically drinking water at concentration 20 kBq/l, for 80–100 Bq/day. This resulted reduced number CD19 B lymphocytes bone...

SUMMARY Rostro-caudal patterning of vertebrates depends on the temporally progressive activation HOX genes within axial stem cells that fuel embryo elongation. Whether sequential activation, “ clock”, is paced by intrinsic chromatin-based timing mechanisms or temporal changes in extrinsic cues remains unclear. Here, we studied clock pacing human pluripotent differentiating into spinal cord motor neuron subtypes which are progenies progenitors. We show caudal progenitors controlled a dynamic...

ABSTRACT Testicular cancer is an increasing burden in modern societies and the most common malignancy among young adult males. Environment contaminants, especially endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC), may play a significant role development of these cancers through epigenetic alterations occurring during fetal neonatal development. As long-term studies humans suitable experimental models with potential to develop testicular are lacking, no causal link can be established between disruptor...
