Upregulation of the ERR γ-VDAC1 axis underlies the molecular pathogenesis of pancreatitis

Emerging evidence suggest that transcription factors play multiple roles in the development of pancreatitis, a necroinflammatory condition lacking specific therapy. Estrogen-related receptor γ (ERRγ), a pleiotropic transcription factor, has been reported t ...

Reduced NCOR2 expression accelerates androgen deprivation therapy failure in prostate cancer

Gerard Llimos Aubach

This study addresses the roles of nuclear receptor corepressor 2 (NCOR2) in prostate cancer (PC) progression in response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Reduced NCOR2 expression significantly associates with shorter disease-free survival in patients ...

ARTD1-induced poly-ADP-ribose formation enhances PPAR gamma ligand binding and co-factor exchange

Johan Auwerx, Eija Riitta Pirinen

PPAR gamma-dependent gene expression during adipogenesis is facilitated by ADP-ribosyltransferase D-type 1 (ARTD1; PARP1)-catalyzed poly-ADP-ribose (PAR) formation. Adipogenesis is accompanied by a dynamic modulation of the chromatin landscape at PPAR gamm ...

Nuclear Factor I genomic binding associates with chromatin boundaries

Giovanni Dietler, Giovanna Ambrosini, Jan Kerschgens, Philipp Bucher, Nicolas Mermod, Petar Pjanic, Armelle Gaussin

Background: The Nuclear Factor I (NFI) family of DNA binding proteins (also called CCAAT box transcription factors or CTF) is involved in both DNA replication and gene expression regulation. Using chromatin immuno-precipitation and high throughput sequenci ...

Statins reduce interleukin-6-induced C-reactive protein in human hepatocytes: new evidence for direct antiinflammatory effects of statins

Didier Trono

OBJECTIVE: Besides its predictive role in determining cardiovascular risk, C-reactive protein (CRP) may exert direct proatherogenic effects through proinflammatory properties. CRP is mainly produced by hepatocytes in response to interleukin-6 (IL-6) and is ...

Chromosome looping in yeast: telomere pairing and coordinated movement reflect anchoring efficiency and territorial organization

Thierry Laroche

Long-range chromosome organization is known to influence nuclear function. Budding yeast centromeres cluster near the spindle pole body, whereas telomeres are grouped in five to eight perinuclear foci. Using live microscopy, we examine the relative positio ...

Role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and retinoid X receptor heterodimer in hepatogastroenterological diseases

Johan Auwerx

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) and its partner the retinoid X receptor (RXR) are two nuclear receptors that are expressed mainly in adipose tissue and which have a role in lipid metabolism and insulin sensitisation. New si ...

Glucocorticoids induce the expression of the leptin gene through a non-classical mechanism of transcriptional activation

Johan Auwerx

Leptin is a hormone which is produced in adipose tissue and which plays a role in the regulation of energy homeostasis. The expression of the ob gene, encoding leptin, is under multi-hormonal control. We have shown previously that high doses of glucocortic ...

Retinoids increase human apolipoprotein A-11 expression through activation of the retinoid X receptor but not the retinoic acid receptor

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

Considering the link between plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and a protective effect against coronary artery disease as well as the suggested beneficial effects of retinoids on the production of the major HDL apolipoprotein (apo), ...
