Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Summarize the co-existence of non-neural ectoderm, neural ectoderm and neural ectoderm in mouse embryo Theiler stages (TS). Graphs show the markers the greatest differential expression in neural vs. non-neural (b ), neural vs. surface ectoderm (c) , embryo mesoderm vs. surface ectoderm (d ), surface ectoderm vs. embryo mesoderm ( e ), embryo endoderm vs. surface ectoderm (f ), and surface ectoderm vs. embryo endoderm (g ). Red stars: selected markers used in the following experiments.

Figure Lengend Snippet: SE markers KRT8, KRT18, KRT19, p63, AP-2α, AP-2γ, ALDH1A3, p-SMAD1/5/9, CDH1, Desmoglein 3 and FOXG1 endodermal marker AFP, Mesodermal marker Brachyury (T), and neural ectoderm marker OTX2 were stained. DAPI was used to stain nuclei. The secondary antibodies Alexa −488 and Alexa −594 were used to visualize green and red signals, respectively. Insert in AFP staining image (+): Hela control cells stained by anti-AFP antibody and showed positive staining. Original magnification x200. Bars: 50 μm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Cell morphologies in hiPSC (control), SE induction (SE, using BMP4 and DAPT), and SE induction with TGFβ-RI inhibitor SB431542 (two separate experiments named as SE + SB-1 and SE + SB-2) groups. Bar: 100 μm. Original magnification x100. ( b ) Immunoblotting analysis showed the expression of SE and other lineage markers in all groups. Actin was used as loading control. SE + SB-1 and SE + SB-2 suggested two separate experiments. Red stars: greatly altered compared to SE. Black box: results from SE group. Dashed black box: results from SE + SB groups. The gels have been run under the same experimental conditions. Full-length blots are shown in . (c ) Relative intensity is represented by selected marker expression in SE+SB groups compared to SE only group and plotted. Plotted data represent three independent experiments. *p < 0.05 (relative to SE groups). (d ) Modified protocol for in vitro differentiation of hiPSCs to SE. We modified the existing protocol by adding TGFβ-RI signaling inhibitor to improve the SE differentiation.

Article Title: Upregulation of Nuclear Factor-Related Kappa B Suggests a Disorder of Transcriptional Regulation in Minimal Change Nephrotic Syndrome

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0030523

Figure Lengend Snippet: A, AP1 DNA-binding activity of 25 microg of nuclear proteins. Nuclear extracts from NFRKB-transfected HEK cells were incubated with the wild-type AP1 oligonucleotide (Wt AP1) or with mutant-type AP1(Mut AP1) oligonucleotide. B, Expression of c-fos and c-jun. Immunoblots were performed with 50 microg of proteins. C, HEK cells were transiently co-transfected with the NFRKB or empty vector (Ev), and AP1-Luc reporter plasmid. The luciferase activity was measured using the “Dual Luciferase reporter Assay”. The data are presented as relative luciferase activity (firefly luciferase/the renilla luciferase). Statistical analyses were carried out on data from five independent experiments using the one-way Anova (** p <0.015; Kruskal-Wallis test).

Article Snippet: The double-stranded oligonucleotide probes (100 ng), with the consensus and mutant NF-kB (sc-2505, sc-2511), GAS/ISRE (sc-2537, sc-2538), NFATc (sc-2577, sc-2578) and AP1 (sc-2501, sc2514) sequences, respectively, were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA).
