The E4BP4 basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor is regulated by interleukin-3 (IL-3) in pro-B cells and has been reported to promote survival of the murine IL-3-dependent pro-B cell lines, FL5.12 and Baf-3. The E2A-HLF oncoprotein arises from a t(17;19) translocation in childhood pro-B cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and acts as an anti-apoptotic factor in FL5.12 and Baf-3 cells. To assess the functions of E2A-HLF and E4BP4 in cell survival, a tetracycline-inducible system was established in Baf-3 cells to express E4BP4 or E2A-HLF. Upon IL-3 withdrawal, expression of E2A-HLF conferred resistance to apoptosis whereas overexpression of E4BP4 did not. E4BP4 and E2A-HLF both recognized the same DNA sequence in reporter gene assays, but had opposite effects on transcription. E2A-HLF acts as a transcriptional activator and E4BP4 as a transcriptional repressor. Furthermore, E4BP4 is a downstream transcriptional target of E2A-HLF. Our data suggests that the overexpression of E4BP4 is unable to block apoptosis induced by IL-3 withdrawal and that the expression of E2A-HLF does not replace the function of E4BP4 in mediating survival.

Stressed hepatocytes promote liver fibrosis through communications with hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) during chronic liver injury. However, intra-hepatocyte players that facilitate such cell-to-cell communications are largely undefined. It is previously reported that hepatocyte E4BP4 is potently induced by ER stress and hepatocyte deletion of E4bp4 protects mice from high-fat diet-induced liver steatosis.

Article Synopsis
- Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) leads to early ovarian failure, and current treatments are insufficient; using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has surfaced as a promising therapy, but factors like the estrogen environment and circadian rhythm disruptions are often overlooked.* -
- In this study, researchers created estrogen receptor positive MSCs (ERpcMSCs) conditioned media to assess its effects on chemotherapy-induced POI in mouse models and cell cultures, revealing that the secretome significantly improved ovarian function and circadian rhythms while reducing cell death and promoting blood vessel formation.* -
- The most notable improvements were linked to the estradiol-conditioned medium (E2-CM), which restored vital gene expressions related to the circadian

Objective: Weight regain after weight loss is a challenge in obesity management. The metabolic changes and underlying mechanisms in obese people with weight fluctuation remain to be elucidated. In the present study, we aimed to profile the features and clinical significance of liver transcriptome in obese mice with weight regain after weight loss.

Macrophages are versatile cells of the innate immune system that work by altering their pro- or anti-inflammatory features. Their dysregulation leads to inflammatory disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease. We show that macrophage-specific upregulation of the clock output gene and transcription factor E4BP4 reduces the severity of colitis in mice.
