Characterization of microRNAs involved in embryonic stem cell states.

TLDR
The results raise the possibility that the relative expression of related miRNAs might serve as diagnostic indicators in defining the developmental state of embryonic cells and other stem cell lines, such as iPSCs, and raise the possibilities that mi RNAs bearing identical seed sequences could have specific functions during separable stages of early embryonic development.
Abstract
Studies of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) reveal that these cell lines can be derived from differing stages of embryonic development. We analyzed common changes in the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs)...

Derivation of naive human embryonic stem cells.

TL;DR: The naïve state in humans is described and it is shown that naïve human ES cells have expanded endoderm developmental capacity and meet mouse criteria for the naïve state by growth characteristics, antibody labeling profile, gene expression, X-inactivation profile, mitochondrial morphology, microRNA profile and development in the context of teratomas.

Analysis of CDS-located miRNA target sites suggests that they can effectively inhibit translation

TL;DR: This study suggests that miRNAs may combine targeting of CDS and 3' UTR to flexibly tune the time scale and magnitude of their post-transcriptional regulatory effects.

The primate-specific microRNA gene cluster (C19MC) is imprinted in the placenta

TL;DR: The unexpected finding that the chromosome 19 microRNA cluster (C19MC), the largest human microRNA gene cluster discovered so far, is regulated by genomic imprinting with only the paternally inherited allele being expressed in the placenta is reported.

Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic and adult fibroblast cultures by defined factors.

TL;DR: Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic or adult fibroblasts by introducing four factors, Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4, under ES cell culture conditions is demonstrated and iPS cells, designated iPS, exhibit the morphology and growth properties of ES cells and express ES cell marker genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of Pluripotent Stem Cells from Adult Human Fibroblasts by Defined Factors

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that iPS cells can be generated from adult human fibroblasts with the same four factors: Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc.

Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Blastocysts

TL;DR: Human blastocyst-derived, pluripotent cell lines are described that have normal karyotypes, express high levels of telomerase activity, and express cell surface markers that characterize primate embryonic stem cells but do not characterize other early lineages.

Linear Models and Empirical Bayes Methods for Assessing Differential Expression in Microarray Experiments

TL;DR: The hierarchical model of Lonnstedt and Speed (2002) is developed into a practical approach for general microarray experiments with arbitrary numbers of treatments and RNA samples and the moderated t-statistic is shown to follow a t-distribution with augmented degrees of freedom.

The functions of animal microRNAs

TL;DR: Evidence is mounting that animal miRNAs are more numerous, and their regulatory impact more pervasive, than was previously suspected.
