Reduced NCOR2 expression accelerates androgen deprivation therapy failure in prostate cancer

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 ...

Single-cell lipidomics reveals a role for cell-to-cell sphingolipid heterogeneity in fibroblast activation

Laura Capolupo

Cell-to-cell variability plays a key role in tissue patterning by setting initial asymmetry that primes cell fate decisions. Fluctuations in the activity of regulatory molecules can commit individual cells to divergent differentiation pathways, and cell-to ...

Notch1-driven T-ALL chromatin landscape is regulated by Tcf1 in hematopoietic progenitors

Mateusz Waldemar Antoszewski

Notch1 receptor signaling is essential for T cell fate specification and physiological thymic T lymphocyte development. Its dysregulation and oncogenic activation are detected in almost 80% of pediatric patients suffering from T cell acute lymphoblastic le ...

Computational identification and experimental characterization of preferred downstream positions in human core promoters

Philipp Bucher, René Dreos

Author summary Transcription of genes by the RNA polymerase II enzyme initiates at a genomic region termed the core promoter. The core promoter is a regulatory region that may contain diverse short DNA sequence motifs/elements that confer specific properti ...

The E protein-TCF1 axis controls gamma delta T cell development and effector fate

Freddy Radtke

TCF1 plays a critical role in T lineage commitment and the development of alpha beta lineage T cells, but its role in gamma delta T cell development remains poorly understood. Here, we reveal a regulatory axis where T cell receptor (TCR) signaling controls ...

A single-cell-based identification and characterisation of Aregs, an inhibitory subpopulation of adipose stem and precursor cells

Magda Zachara

Adipose tissue is an essential element in energy conservation mechanisms. Its unique plasticity is driven by the ability of adipocytes to accumulate and liberate lipids as a function of the energetic status of the organism. Given the recent rise in the glo ...

Toward a Consensus View of Mammalian Adipocyte Stem and Progenitor Cell Heterogeneity

Bart Deplancke, Pernille Yde Rainer, Radiana Ferrero

White adipose tissue (WAT) is a cellularly heterogeneous endocrine organ that not only serves as an energy reservoir, but also actively participates in metabolic homeostasis. Among the main constituents of adipose tissue are adipocytes, which arise from ad ...

Eosinophils regulate adipose tissue inflammation and sustain physical and immunological fitness in old age

Johan Auwerx, Norman Lionel Moullan

Adipose tissue eosinophils (ATEs) are important in the control of obesity-associated inflammation and metabolic disease. However, the way in which ageing impacts the regulatory role of ATEs remains unknown. Here, we show that ATEs undergo major age-related ...

Enoxacin induces oxidative metabolism and mitigates obesity by regulating adipose tissue miRNA expression

Johan Auwerx, Tanes Imamura de Lima

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in oxidative metabolism and brown/beige adipocyte identity. Here, we tested whether widespread changes in miRNA expression promoted by treatment with the small-molecule enoxacin cause browning and prevent obesity. En ...

Growth differentiation factor 15 protects against the aging-mediated systemic inflammatory response in humans and mice

Johan Auwerx, Jun Yong Kim, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne, Dongryeol Ryu

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with aging-mediated inflammatory responses, leading to metabolic deterioration, development of insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is an important mitokine generated in r ...
