A Designer AAV Variant Permits Efficient Retrograde Access to Projection Neurons
/in PUB-6254 Featured /by Haig DidizianEfficient retrograde access to projection neurons for the delivery of sensors and effectors constitutes an important and enabling capability for neural circuit dissection. Such an approach would also be useful for gene therapy, including the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by pathological spread through functionally connected and highly distributed networks. Viral vectors, in particular, are […]
Suppression of the SWI/SNF Component Arid1a Promotes Mammalian Regeneration
/in PUB-5684 Featured /by Haig DidizianMammals have partially lost the extensive regenerative capabilities of some vertebrates, possibly as a result of chromatin-remodeling mechanisms that enforce terminal differentiation. Here, we show that deleting the SWI/SNF component Arid1a substantially improves mammalian regeneration. Arid1a expression is suppressed in regenerating tissues, and genetic deletion of Arid1a increases tissue repair following an array of injuries. […]
Astrocytic Insulin Signaling Couples Brain Glucose Uptake with Nutrient Availability
/in PUB-6231 Featured /by Haig DidizianWe report that astrocytic insulin signaling co-regulates hypothalamic glucose sensing and systemic glucose metabolism. Postnatal ablation of insulin receptors (IRs) in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-expressing cells affects hypothalamic astrocyte morphology, mitochondrial function, and circuit connectivity. Accordingly, astrocytic IR ablation reduces glucose-induced activation of hypothalamic pro-opio-melanocortin (POMC) neurons and impairs physiological responses to changes in […]
GSDMB induces an asthma phenotype characterized by increased airway responsiveness and remodeling without lung inflammation
/in PUB-6273 Featured /by Haig DidizianGasdermin B (GSDMB) on chromosome 17q21 demonstrates a strong genetic linkage to asthma, but its function in asthma is unknown. Here we identified that GSDMB is highly expressed in lung bronchial epithelium in human asthma. Overexpression of GSDMB in primary human bronchial epithelium increased expression of genes important to both airway remodeling [TGF-ß1, 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO)] […]
The p53-SET Interplays Reveal A New Mode of Acetylation-dependent Regulation
/in PUB-6245 Featured /by Haig DidizianAlthough lysine acetylation is now recognized as a general protein modification for both histones and non-histone proteins, the mechanisms of acetylation-mediated actions are not completely understood. Acetylation of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of p53 (also known as TP53) was an early example of non-histone protein acetylation and its precise role remains unclear. Lysine acetylation often […]
Methods for the Isolation, Culture, and Functional Characterization of Sinoatrial Node Myocytes from Adult Mice
/in PUB-6274 Featured /by Haig DidizianSinoatrial node myocytes (SAMs) act as the natural pacemakers of the heart, initiating each heart beat by generating spontaneous action potentials (APs). These pacemaker APs reflect the coordinated activity of numerous membrane currents and intracellular calcium cycling. However the precise mechanisms that drive spontaneous pacemaker activity in SAMs remain elusive. Acutely isolated SAMs are an […]
EphrinB2 repression through ZEB2 mediates tumour invasion and anti-angiogenic resistance
/in PUB-6225 Featured /by Haig DidizianDiffuse invasion of the surrounding brain parenchyma is a major obstacle in the treatment of gliomas with various therapeutics, including anti-angiogenic agents. Here we identify the epi-/genetic and microenvironmental downregulation of ephrinB2 as a crucial step that promotes tumour invasion by abrogation of repulsive signals. We demonstrate that ephrinB2 is downregulated in human gliomas as […]
Primate-specific miR-515 family members inhibit key genes in human trophoblast differentiation and are upregulated in preeclampsia
/in PUB-6268 Featured /by Haig DidizianDysregulation of human trophoblast invasion and differentiation can result in preeclampsia (PE), a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy with significant morbidity and mortality for mother and offspring. miRNA microarray analysis of RNA from human cytotrophoblasts (CytT), before and after differentiation to syncytiotrophoblast (SynT) in primary culture, revealed that members of miR-515 family—including miR-515-5p, miR-519e-5p, miR-519c-3p, and […]
