University of Michigan have found a loop in the body's mitochondria may enable the dedifferentiation of cells.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In findings recently published in PNAS, the team observed that some cells under specific conditions may ‘retreat' up the path of differentiation, allowing them to re-differentiate into different cells. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These findings support a growing consensus in the scientific community that cell differentiation is not necessarily irreversible, as previously thought. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cunming Duan, Professor and Director of the Undergraduate Program in Neuroscience at the University of Michigan, has a laboratory dedicated to the discovery of conserved mechanisms regulating cell development and plasticity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He explained in Technology Networks that cell fate and differentiation was conventionally considered to be a one-way journey. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>“The stem cell divides and becomes a progenitor cell, which will become the future skin, neuron, liver, or muscle cell.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>“People also thought this was true of adult tissue regeneration,” Duan continued. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The concept ran that if a person cut their skin or injured a muscle, a population of adult stem cells within their body would function in the same way, dividing and proliferating into progenitor cells in an irreversible process. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>However, research from animal models such as zebrafish in more recent years has shown that this approach may be overly simplistic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While stem cells can differentiate to become different cell types, findings now indicate that cells can also – under certain conditions – revert back to a precursor cell to produce different cells in a process called dedifferentiation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 id="h-investigating-cell-plasticity-using-a-zebrafish-model"><strong>Investigating Cell Plasticity Using a Zebrafish Model</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To prospect further, Duan and his team developed a zebrafish model, labelling epithelial cells which transported calcium ions with a green fluorescent protein.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The research team were subsequently able to induce differentiated cells to re-enter the cell cycle, allowing them to visualise the cell dividing with a focus on the function of mitochondria. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When mitochondria break down sugar to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), they also produce reactive oxygen species (ROS): highly reactive chemicals which can cause cellular damage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While mitochondria are providing mitochondrial ROS, they function as signalling molecules, which can indicate a cellular stress response.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a

cell dedifferentiation and proliferation were induced in the zebrafish model, ATP production increased: mitochondrial ROS levels went up in those cells as a result.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Testing the loop's impact on the cell's ability to dedifferentiate, the researchers investigated knocking out the ATP production enzyme would block ROS production and inhibit dedifferentiation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Researchers examined an associated mitochondrial loop in living breast cancer cells and found that the same steps took place there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>“Cancer cells also have this plasticity,” explained Duan, “and it's regarded as one of the major challenges concerning why we can't easily treat them.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The potential applications of this approach include the possibility of future therapeutic approaches which could regenerate damaged tissue and organs, with fresh insights based on the principle of cell dedifferentiation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Want to receive the latest industry announcements on
