Hypoxia Primes Human ISCs for Interleukin-Dependent Rescue of Stem Cell Activity

CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR GASTROENTEROLOGY AND HEPATOLOGY, 16(5), 823–846.

By: K. Rivera n, R. Bilton, J. Burclaff n, M. Czerwinski*, J. Liu*, J. Trueblood*, C. Hinesley*, K. Breau* ...

author keywords: Inflammatory Hypoxia; Microphysiological System; Intestinal Stem Cells; Stem Cell Priming; Oxygen Sensor; Cytokines
TL;DR: A new microphysiological system (MPS) is presented to investigate how hypoxia affects hISCs from healthy donors and test the hypothesis that prolongedHypoxia modulates how hISC respond to inflammation-associated interleukins (ILs) and has important implications for understanding intestinal epithelial regeneration mechanisms caused by inflammatory hypoxIA.

2020 journal article

A Metformin-Responsive Metabolic Pathway Controls Distinct Steps in Gastric Progenitor Fate Decisions and Maturation.

Cell Stem Cell.

Joseph Burclaff

TL;DR: It is shown that the energy sensor AMP kinase (AMPK) governs gastric epithelial progenitor differentiation, and activated KLF4 in progenitors to reduce self-renewal and promote PC fate, whereas AMPK-PGC1α activation within the PC lineage promotes maturation, providing a potential suggestion for why metformin increases acid secretion and reduces gastric cancer risk in humans.

2019 journal article

Proliferation and Differentiation of Gastric Mucous Neck and Chief Cells During Homeostasis and Injury-induced Metaplasia.

Gastroenterology.

Joseph Burclaff

TL;DR: The findings indicated that mucous neck cells do not contribute substantially to generation of ZCs during homeostasis and that ZCs maintain their own census, likely through infrequent self-replication. (via Semantic Scholar)

2018 journal article

Plasticity of differentiated cells in wound repair and tumorigenesis, part I: stomach and pancreas.

Disease Models & Mechanisms.

Joseph Burclaff

TL;DR: Epithelial cells in diverse tissues have an innate plasticity program such that differentiated cells can become regenerative upon large-scale insults to an organ, which invites us to refine theories about the cell of origin of cancer such as the multi-hit model of tumorigenesis.

Plasticity of differentiated cells in wound repair and tumorigenesis, part II: skin and intestine.

Disease Models & Mechanisms.

Joseph Burclaff

TL;DR: This final installment of a two-part Review discusses how cycles of dedifferentiation and redifferentiation can promote tumorigenesis in the skin and intestine, showing how plasticity in these continuously renewing tissues might contribute to tumors. (via Semantic Scholar)

2018 journal article

Regenerative proliferation of differentiated cells by mTORC1-dependent paligenosis.

The EMBO Journal.

Joseph Burclaff

TL;DR: It is shown here that differentiated cells in diverse organs become proliferative via a shared program, which is proposed to be a fundamental process, like apoptosis, available to differentiated cells to fuel regeneration following injury. (via Semantic Scholar)

2017 journal article

Metaplastic Cells in the Stomach Arise, Independently of Stem Cells, via Dedifferentiation or Transdifferentiation of Chief Cells.

Gastroenterology.

Joseph Burclaff

TL;DR: The findings indicate that SPEM can arise by direct reprogramming of existing cells-mainly of chief cells in gland bases, rather than the proliferative stem cell zone. (via Semantic Scholar)

Targeted Apoptosis of Parietal Cells Is Insufficient to Induce Metaplasia in Stomach

Gastroenterology, 152(4), 762–766.

By: J. Burclaff*, L. Osaki*, D. Liu*, J. Goldenring* & J. Mills*

Contributors: J. Burclaff*, L. Osaki*, D. Liu*, J. Goldenring* & J. Mills*

TL;DR: Mice developed that express the diphtheria toxin receptor specifically in parietal cells to induce their death found this to increase proliferation in the normal stem cell zone and neck but not to cause metaplastic reprogramming of chief cells. (via Semantic Scholar)

Unintended targeting of Dmp1-Cre reveals a critical role for Bmpr1a signaling in the gastrointestinal mesenchyme of adult mice

Bone Research, 5.

By: J. Lim*, J. Burclaff*, G. He*, J. Mills* & F. Long*

Contributors: J. Lim*, J. Burclaff*, G. He*, J. Mills* & F. Long*

TL;DR: Cre/loxP technology has been widely used to study cell type-specific functions of genes, but caution needs to be exercised when using Dmp1-Cre because it targets not only the osteoblast lineage at an earlier stage than previously appreciated, but also a number of non-skeletal cell types.

Ed(s): I. Ivanov

Event: at New York, NY

TL;DR: Methods for using the selective estrogen receptor modulator tamoxifen as a novel tool to rapidly and reversibly induce parietal cell loss in mice in order to study the mechanisms that underlie these pre-neoplastic events are detailed. (via Semantic Scholar)

Mutations in Mtr4 structural domains reveal their important role in regulating tRNA<inf>i</inf><sup>Met</sup> turnover in saccharomyces cerevisiae and Mtr4p enzymatic activities in vitro

PLoS ONE, 11(1), 0148090,

By: Y. Li*, J. Burclaff* & J. Anderson*

Contributors: Y. Li*, J. Burclaff* & J. Anderson*

TL;DR: Overall, it is concluded that arch domain plays a role in RNA binding but is largely dispensable for Mtr4p enzymatic activities, however the structural domains in the helicase core significantly contribute to Mtr 4p ATPase and unwinding activities. (via Semantic Scholar)
