Using genetic approach, we further pinpointed HFSCs as the source of KIT-ligand in the niche
Using genetic approach, we further pinpointed HFSCs as the source of KIT-ligand in the niche. cell types in vivo, whether they function as signaling mediators of SC and market cross talk to regulate tissue regeneration is largely unknown. We show here that deletion of the Notch pathway co-factor RBP-J specifically in mouse HFSCs triggers adjacent McSCs to precociously differentiate in their shared niche. Transcriptome screen and in vivo functional studies revealed that this elevated level of retinoic acid (RA) caused by de-repression of RA metabolic process genes as a result of RBP-J deletion in HFSCs triggers ectopic McSCs differentiation in the niche. Mechanistically the increased level of RA sensitizes McSCs to differentiation transmission KIT-ligand by increasing its c-Kit receptor protein level in vivo. Using genetic approach, we further pinpointed HFSCs as the source of KIT-ligand in the niche. We discover that HFSCs regulate the metabolite RA level in vivo to…

g, qRT-PCR analysis of the indicated ISGs in MC-38 cells treated with 3 M mitochondria-targeted doxorubicin (mitoDox) or DMSO (Mock) for 48 hours. mtDNA are present in most cell types that are packaged by TFAM into higher-order structures called nucleoids1. Mitochondria are also platforms for antiviral signalling2 and, due to their bacterial origin, mtDNA and other mitochondrial components trigger innate immune responses and inflammatory pathology2,3. We showed previously that instability and cytoplasmic release of mtDNA activates the cGAS-STING-TBK1 pathway resulting in interferon stimulated gene (ISG) expression that promotes antiviral immunity4. Here, Methylthioadenosine we find that prolonged mtDNA stress is not associated with basally activated NF-B signalling or interferon gene expression typical of an acute antiviral response. Instead, a specific subset of ISGs, that includes mice exposed to ionizing radiation exhibit enhanced repair responses in spleen nDNA. Therefore, we suggest that harm to and following launch of mtDNA elicits a protecting…
