Repression of oxidative phosphorylation by NR2F2, MTERF3 and GDF15 in human skin under high-glucose stress
S. Ley-Ngardigal et al.
Lifestyle factors such as a Western diet or metabolic diseases like diabetes disrupt glucose homeostasis and induce stress responses, yet their impact on skin metabolism and structural integrity remains poorly understood. Here, we performed multiomic and bioenergetic analyses of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs), huma...

CRISPR screening identifies regulators of enhancer-mediated androgen receptor transcription in advanced prostate cancer
Rachel R. Xiang et al.
Amplification of the androgen receptor (AR) locus is the most frequent alteration in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Recently, it was discovered that an enhancer of the AR is co-amplified with the AR gene body and contributes to increased AR transcription and resistance to androgen de...

Schistosoma mansoni antigen induced innate immune memory features mitochondrial biogenesis and can be inhibited by ovarian produced hormones
Juan Marcos Oviedo et al.
We have previously identified that S. mansoni infection induces a unique form of myeloid training that protects male but not female mice from high fat diet induced disease. Here we demonstrate that ovarian derived hormones account for this sex specific difference. Ovariectomy of females prior to infection ...

Assessing the impact of whole genome duplication on gene expression and regulation during arachnid development
Madeleine E. Aase-Remedios et al.
Whole genome duplication (WGD) generates new genetic material that can contribute to the evolution of the regulation of developmental processes and phenotypic diversification. A WGD occurred in an ancestor of arachnopulmonates (spiders, scorpions, and their relatives), which provides an important independent compari...

Spatial organizations of heterochromatin underpin nuclear structural integrity of ventricular cardiomyocytes against mechanical stress
Keita Fujiwara et al.
Highlights Cardiomyocytes acquire characteristic spatial organizations of heterochromatin (SOH) High levels of H2B-mCherry disrupt SOH, leading to nuclear elongation in cardiomyocytes SOH disruption minimally impacts gene expression despite loosening global genome structure SOH ...

DNA demethylation triggers cell free DNA release in colorectal cancer cells
Valeria Pessei et al.
Background Liquid biopsy based on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis holds significant promise as a minimally invasive approach for the diagnosis, genotyping, and monitoring of solid malignancies. Human tumors release cfDNA in the bloodstream through a combination of events, including cell death, active and passive rel...

Temporal and spatial niche partitioning in a retrotransposon community of the Drosophila genome
Varoqui M. et al.
Transposable elements (TEs), widespread genetic parasites, pose potential threats to the stability of their host genomes. Hence, the interactions observed today between TEs and their host genomes, as well as among the different TE species coexisting in the same host, likely reflect those that did not lead to the ext...

Galectin 3-binding protein (LGALS3BP) depletion attenuates hepatic fibrosis by reducing transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) availability and inhibits hepatocarcinogenesis
Dae-Hwan Kim et al.
Background Increased Galectin 3-binding protein (LGALS3BP) serum levels have been used to assess hepatic fibrosis stages and the severity of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Considering the crucial role of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in the emergence of these diseases, the present study tested...

Patho-transcriptomic analysis of invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung (IMA): comparison with lung adenocarcinoma with signet ring cell features (SRCC)
William D. Stuart et al.
Background Invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) comprises ∼5% of lung adenocarcinoma. There is no effective therapy for IMA when surgical resection is not possible. IMA is sometimes confused with adenocarcinoma with signet ring cell features (SRCC) pathologically since both adenocarcinomas feature tumor...

Transient loss of Polycomb components induces an epigenetic cancer fate
V. Parreno et al.
Although cancer initiation and progression are generally associated with the accumulation of somatic mutations1,2, substantial epigenomic alterations underlie many aspects of tumorigenesis and cancer susceptibility3,4,5,6, suggesting that genetic mechanisms might not be the only drivers of malignant transformation7....

Systematic mapping of TF-mediated cell fate changes by a pooled induction coupled with scRNA-seq and multi-omics approaches
Lee M. et al.
Transcriptional regulation controls cellular functions through interactions between transcription factors (TFs) and their chromosomal targets. However, understanding the fate conversion potential of multiple TFs in an inducible manner remains limited. Here, we introduce iTF-seq as a method for identifying individual...

Protocol to isolate nuclei from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii for ATAC sequencing
Santhanagopalan I. et al.
Highlights Optimized isolation of nuclei from the green model alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Tag-free isolation from both cell-walled and cell wall-deficient algae strains Key steps for an effective and fast isolation and quantification procedure of nuclei Extracts at a quality suitabl...

Interplay between coding and non-coding regulation drives the Arabidopsis seed-to-seedling transition
Trembley B.J.M. et al.
Translation of seed stored mRNAs is essential to trigger germination. However, when RNAPII re-engages RNA synthesis during the seed-to-seedling transition has remained in question. Combining csRNA-seq, ATAC-seq and smFISH in Arabidopsis thaliana we demonstrate that active transcription initiation is detect...

The transcriptional regulatory network modulating human trophoblast stem cells to extravillous trophoblast differentiation
Kim M. et al.
During human pregnancy, extravillous trophoblasts play crucial roles in placental invasion into the maternal decidua and spiral artery remodeling. However, regulatory factors and their action mechanisms modulating human extravillous trophoblast specification have been unknown. By analyzing dynamic changes in transcr...

DMSO derives Trophectoderm and Clonal Blastoid from Single Human Pluripotent Stem Cell
Alsolami S. et al.
Human naïve pluripotent stem cells (nPSCs) can differentiate into extra-embryonic trophectoderm (TE), a critical step in the generation of the integrated embryo model termed blastoid. The current paradigm of blastoid generation necessitates the aggregation of dozens of nPSCs treated with multiple small molecule...

In vitro production of cat-restricted Toxoplasma pre-sexual stages
Antunes, A.V. et al.
Sexual reproduction of Toxoplasma gondii, confined to the felid gut, remains largely uncharted owing to ethical concerns regarding the use of cats as model organisms. Chromatin modifiers dictate the developmental fate of the parasite during its multistage life cycle, but their targeting to stage-specific cistro...

Vaginal microbes alter epithelial transcriptomic and epigenomic modifications providing insight into the molecular mechanisms for susceptibility to adverse reproductive outcomes
Elovitz M. et al.
The cervicovaginal microbiome is highly associated with women's health with microbial communities dominated by Lactobacillus spp. being considered optimal. Conversely, a lack of lactobacilli and a high abundance of strict and facultative anaerobes including Gardnerella vaginalis, have been associated ...

Inflammatory stress-mediated chromatin changes underlie dysfunction in endothelial cells
Liu H. et al.
Inflammatory stresses underlie endothelial dysfunction and contribute to the development of chronic cardiovascular disorders such as atherosclerosis and vascular fibrosis. The initial transcriptional response of endothelial cells to pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha is well established. However, very few ...

Dynamic PRC1-CBX8 stabilizes a porous structure of chromatin condensates
Uckelmann M. et al.
The compaction of chromatin is a prevalent paradigm in gene repression. Chromatin compaction is commonly thought to repress transcription by restricting chromatin accessibility. However, the spatial organisation and dynamics of chromatin compacted by gene-repressing factors are unknown. Using cryo-electron tomograph...

UMSBP2 is chromatin remodeler that functions in regulation of geneexpression and suppression of antigenic variation in trypanosomes.
Soni A. et al.
Universal Minicircle Sequence binding proteins (UMSBPs) are CCHC-type zinc-finger proteins that bind the single-stranded G-rich UMS sequence, conserved at the replication origins of minicircles in the kinetoplast DNA, the mitochondrial genome of kinetoplastids. Trypanosoma brucei UMSBP2 has been recently shown to co...
