Published: April 2009

The rapid induction of the sucrase-isomaltase (SI) gene in rat jejunum from the onset to final period of weaning was associated with increases of the acetylation of histones H3 and H4 on the promoter/transcriptional region of the gene, suggesting that an abrupt jejunal induction of histone acetylation changes on the SI gene during this period may be concerned with the expression of the gene.

Sugar limitation has dramatic consequences on plant cells, which include cell metabolism and transcriptional reprogramming, and the recycling of cellular components to maintain fundamental cell functions. There is however no description of the contribution of epigenetic regulations to the adaptation of plant cells to limited carbon availability. We investigated this question using nonphotosynthetic grapevine cells (, cv Cabernet Sauvignon) cultured with contrasted glucose concentrations.

Acetate ameliorates ovarian mitochondrial dysfunction in letrozole-induced polycystic ovarian syndrome rat model by improving mitofusin-2.

Androgen excess and metabolic abnormality largely contribute to the pathogenesis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which primarily precipitates ovarian dysfunction and infertility in reproductive-age women. Impaired mitochondrial function and epigenetic alteration have been linked to the development of PCOS. However, it is unknown whether acetate would exert a therapeutic effect on ovarian mitochondrial dysfunction in PCOS.

KDM6B-dependent epigenetic programming of uterine fibroblasts in early pregnancy regulates parturition timing in mice.

Electronic address:

Current efforts investigating parturition timing mechanisms have focused on the proximal triggers of labor onset generated in late pregnancy. By studying the delayed parturition phenotype of mice with uterine fibroblast deficiencies in the histone H3K27me3 demethylase KDM6B, we provide evidence that parturition timing is regulated by events that take place in early pregnancy. Immediately after copulation, uterine fibroblasts engage in a locus-specific epigenetic program that abruptly adjusts H3K27me3 levels across their genome.

DNA-Dependent Protein Kinase Catalytic Subunit Prevents Ferroptosis in Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci

Department of Ophthalmology of Tongji Hospital and Laboratory of Clinical and Visual Sciences of Tongji Eye Institute, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai, China.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the activated core kinases involved in the DNA damage responses (DDR) during ferroptosis of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in vitro and their regulatory effects on ferroptosis.

Methods: Ferroptosis was induced by erastin in induced RPE (iRPE) cells derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs), hUCMSCs, and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived RPE (iPSC-RPE) cells. CCK8 was employed to measure the cell viability.

T-2 toxin triggers immunotoxic effects in goats by inducing ferroptosis and neutrophil extracellular traps.

T-2 toxin, a prevalent mycotoxin, represents a notable global public health risk. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and ferroptosis are involved in a variety of pathophysiological processes and are implicated in goat immunity. However, the impact of T-2 toxin on NETs release, ferroptosis, and their interplay have not been previously documented.
