    Description: Asymmetric division of adult stem cells generates one self-renewing stem cell and one differentiating cell, thereby maintaining tissue homeostasis. A decline in stem cell function has been proposed to contribute to tissue ageing, although the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Here we show that changes in the stem cell orientation with respect to the niche during ageing contribute to the decline in spermatogenesis in the male germ line of Drosophila. Throughout the cell cycle, centrosomes in germline stem cells (GSCs) are oriented within their niche and this ensures asymmetric division. We found that GSCs containing misoriented centrosomes accumulate with age and that these GSCs are arrested or delayed in the cell cycle. The cell cycle arrest is transient, and GSCs appear to re-enter the cell cycle on correction of centrosome orientation. On the basis of these findings, we propose that cell cycle arrest associated with centrosome misorientation functions as a mechanism to ensure asymmetric stem cell division, and that the inability of stem cells to maintain correct orientation during ageing contributes to the decline in spermatogenesis. We also show that some of the misoriented GSCs probably originate from dedifferentiation of spermatogonia.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2712891/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2712891/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cheng, Jun -- Turkel, Nezaket -- Hemati, Nahid -- Fuller, Margaret T -- Hunt, Alan J -- Yamashita, Yukiko M -- P01 DK053074/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P01 DK053074-060004/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P01 DK53074/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM072006/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM072006-05/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM080501/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM080501-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM080501-02/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM086481/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM086481-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01GM072006/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Dec 4;456(7222):599-604. doi: 10.1038/nature07386.

    Description: Sites of transcription of polyadenylated and nonpolyadenylated RNAs for 10 human chromosomes were mapped at 5-base pair resolution in eight cell lines. Unannotated, nonpolyadenylated transcripts comprise the major proportion of the transcriptional output of the human genome. Of all transcribed sequences, 19.4, 43.7, and 36.9% were observed to be polyadenylated, nonpolyadenylated, and bimorphic, respectively. Half of all transcribed sequences are found only in the nucleus and for the most part are unannotated. Overall, the transcribed portions of the human genome are predominantly composed of interlaced networks of both poly A+ and poly A- annotated transcripts and unannotated transcripts of unknown function. This organization has important implications for interpreting genotype-phenotype associations, regulation of gene expression, and the definition of a gene.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cheng, Jill -- Kapranov, Philipp -- Drenkow, Jorg -- Dike, Sujit -- Brubaker, Shane -- Patel, Sandeep -- Long, Jeffrey -- Stern, David -- Tammana, Hari -- Helt, Gregg -- Sementchenko, Victor -- Piccolboni, Antonio -- Bekiranov, Stefan -- Bailey, Dione K -- Ganesh, Madhavan -- Ghosh, Srinka -- Bell, Ian -- Gerhard, Daniela S -- Gingeras, Thomas R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 May 20;308(5725):1149-54.
