The transcription factor (TF) GATA2 plays a key role in organ development and cell fate control in the central nervous, urogenital, respiratory, and reproductive systems, and in primitive and definitive hematopoiesis. Here, we generate a knockin protein reporter mouse line expressing a GATA2VENUS fusion from the endogenous Gata2 genomic locus, with correct expression and localization of GATA2VENUS in different organs. GATA2VENUS expression is heterogeneous in different hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell populations (HSPCs), identifies functionally distinct subsets, and suggests a novel monocyte and mast cell lineage bifurcation point. GATA2 levels further correlate with proliferation and lineage outcome of hematopoietic progenitors. The GATA2VENUS mouse line improves the identification of specific live cell types during embryonic and adult development and will be crucial for analyzing GATA2 protein dynamics in TF networks.

The vascular endothelium is vital for cardio-pulmonary homeostasis and, thus, plays a crucial role in preventing life-threatening lung diseases. The transcription factor GATA2 is essential for hematopoiesis and maintaining vascular integrity. Heterozygous mutations in GATA2 can lead to a primary immunodeficiency syndrome with pulmonary manifestations.

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a natural neurotoxin with strong toxicity, and studies have demonstrated that chronic MC-LR exposure generated Parkinson-like dyskinesia in mice. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurologic degenerative disease mostly occurring in elderly people, and the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons and the formation of Lewy bodies are the hallmark pathological features. The main component of Lewy bodies is α-synuclein (α-syn) encoded by the SNCA gene, and the copy number mutation of SNCA gene can promote the overexpression of α-syn.

Homeobox genes encode transcription factors which organize differentiation processes in all tissue types including the hematopoietic compartment. Recently, we have reported physiological expression of TALE-class homeobox gene IRX1 in early myelopoiesis restricted to the megakaryocyte-erythroid-progenitor stage and in early B-cell development to the pro-B-cell stage. In contrast, sister homeobox genes IRX2, IRX3 and IRX5 are aberrantly activated in the corresponding malignancies acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and B-cell progenitor acute lymphoid leukemia.

Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1) is an important transcription factor that controls lipid metabolism and adipogenesis. Two isoforms, SREBP1a and SREBP1c, are generated by alternative splicing of the first exon of the gene. The porcine gene has mainly been studied for its role in lipid metabolism in adipose tissues, but little is known about its involvement, and the role of its two isoforms, in adipogenesis.

Background: Elevated evidence suggests that KIF20A plays an important role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism by which KIF20A promotes HCC cell growth are not well understood.
Methods: Using TCGA-LIHC RNAseq and GEO datasets, we assessed the KIF20A expression and patient survival in HCC and hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related HCC.
