An antero-posterior intra-cytoplasmic pH gradient in the tail bud and posterior PSM is regulated by glycolysis (A) Intra-cytoplasmic pH (pHi) in the posterior part of a 2-day old chicken embryo expressing pHluorin in the Tail Bud (TB) and Presomitic Mesoderm (PSM). Fluorescence intensity is shown by pseudocolor image (Fire color) using image J (right panel). Yellow signal indicates more acidic regions. Ventral view. NT: neural tube. Ant.: anterior, Post.: posterior. Scale bar, 100 μ m. (B) 488/405 nm ratio in individual cells in a representative embryo (n=3). Average values are calculated every 30 segmented cells along the AP axis. Error bars are S.D.

Formation of the body of vertebrate embryos proceeds sequentially by posterior addition of tissues. While this process depends on aerobic glycolysis acting upstream of Wnt signaling in tail bud cells, the molecular details of this regulation are unknown. Here we used chicken embryos and human tail bud-like cells differentiated in vitro from iPS cel...

... reporter electroporated in vivo can report on intra- cytoplasmic pH changes. However, because it is impossible to perform the different steps required for calibration in the same embryo, different electroporated embryos were used for each pH value and for experimental measurements. Therefore, the absolute value of the pH could not be defined (Fig. 1A). Thus, for all in vivo measurements, we only compared the 405 to 488 nm fluorescence ...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable disease, however, novel therapeutic agents has significantly improved its prognosis. In this study we analyzed if polymorphisms in the genes of β-catenin and glutathione-S-transferase have affected the clinical course, treatment response and progression-free survival (PFS) of MM patients. Ninety-seven MM patien...

Macrophages are often viewed through the lens of their core functions, but recent transcriptomic studies reveal them to be largely distinct across tissue types. While these differences appear to be shaped by their local environment, the key signals that drive these transcriptional differences remain unclear. Since Wnt signaling plays established ro...
