  • generation of a nrf2 homozygous knockout human Embryonic Stem Cell line using crispr cas9
    Stem Cell Research, 2017
    Co-Authors: Sojung Kim, Omer Habib, Jinsoo Kim, Hyowon Han, Soo Kyung Koo, Junghyun Kim
    Abstract:

    Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NFE2L2 or Nrf2) is a well-known transcription factor that regulates the expression of a large number of anti-oxidant genes in mammalian Cells (J.H. Kim et al., 2014). Here, we generated a homozygous Nrf2 knockout human Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC) line, H9Nrf2KO-A13, using the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing method. The Nrf2 homozygous knockout H9 Cell line maintains pluripotency, differentiation potential into three germ layers, and a normal karyotype.

  • a homozygous keap1 knockout human Embryonic Stem Cell line generated using crispr cas9 mediates gene targeting
    Stem Cell Research, 2017
    Co-Authors: Sojung Kim, Omer Habib, Jinsoo Kim, Hyowon Han, Soo Kyung Koo, Junghyun Kim
    Abstract:

    Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (keap1) is a cysteine-rich protein that interacts with transcription factor Nrf2 in a redox-sensitive manner, leading to the degradation of Nrf2 (Kim et al., 2014a). Disruption of Keap1 results in the induction of Nrf2-related signaling pathways involving the expression of a set of anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory genes. We generated biallelic mutants of the Keap1 gene using a CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing method in the H9 human Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC). The Keap1 homozygous-knockout H9 Cell line retained normal morphology, gene expression, and in vivo differentiation potential.

  • genetic factors on mouse chromosome 18 affecting susceptibility to testicular germ Cell tumors and permissiveness to Embryonic Stem Cell derivation
    Cancer Research, 2009
    Co-Authors: Philip D Anderson, Vicki R Nelson, Paul J Tesar, Joseph H Nadeau
    Abstract:

    Despite strong heritability, little is known about the genetic control of susceptibility to testicular germ Cell tumors (TGCT) in humans or mice. Although the mouse model of spontaneous TGCTs has been extensively studied, conventional linkage analysis has failed to locate the factors that control teratocarcinogenesis in the susceptible 129 family of inbred strains. As an alternative approach, we used both chromosome substitution strains (CSS) to identify individual chromosomes that harbor susceptibility genes and a panel of congenic strains derived from a selected CSS to determine the number and location of susceptibility variants on the substituted chromosome. We showed that 129-Chr 18MOLF males are resistant to spontaneous TGCTs and that at least four genetic variants control susceptibility in males with this substituted chromosome. In addition, early Embryonic Cells from this strain fail to establish Embryonic Stem Cell lines as efficiently as those from the parental 129/Sv strain. For the first time, 129-derived genetic variants that control TGCT susceptibility and fundamental aspects of Embryonic Stem Cell biology have been localized in a genetic context in which the genes can be identified and functionally characterized.
