Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 is essential for transplantable mouse bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell and progenitor function. by Camilla Halvarsson, Pernilla Eliasson, Jan-Ingvar Jönsson

“…<h4>Principle findings</h4>Here we demonstrate that PDK1 activity is crucial for transplantable HSC function. Whereas Pdkl, Pdk2, and Pdk3 transcripts were expressed at higher levels in different subtypes of HSCs compared to differentiated cells, we could not detect any major differences in expression between LT-HSCs and more short-term HSCs and multipotent progenitors. …”

The redox function of APE1 is involved in the differentiation process of stem cells toward a neuronal cell fate. by Rossana Domenis, Natascha Bergamin, Giuseppe Gianfranceschi, Carlo Vascotto, Milena Romanello, Silvia Rigo, Giovanna Vagnarelli, Massimo Faggiani, Piercamillo Parodi, Mark R Kelley, Carlo Alberto Beltrami, Daniela Cesselli, Gianluca Tell, Antonio Paolo Beltrami

“…To investigate the involvement of APE1 in the differentiation process, we employed E3330, a specific inhibitor of the APE1 redox function. The addition of E3330, either to the neurogenic embryonic carcinoma cell line NT2-D1or to hAT-MASC, increases the differentiation of stem cells towards a neural phenotype, biasing the differentiation towards specific subtypes, such as dopaminergic cells. …”
