On the 4th day after revivification of rats, subjected to blood circulation arrest, transcriptional activity of chromatin has been evaluated after Moor's method and the state of histones has been investigated in neuronal nuclei of the III, IV and V layers of the cerebral cortex sensomotor area. Both in intact animals and those, subjected to clinical death, the neurons of the cortical layers examined sharply differ in their transcriptional activity of chromatin. The lowest level of labelling is revealed in the IV, the highest--in the V layer. After reviving the animals the transcriptional activity of chromatin in the neuronal nuclei of the III and V layers increases, and that of extranuclear chromatin--in all cortical layers. Increasing matrix activity occurs mostly in light cells; this demonstrates their greater reactivity than in dark cells. During the postresuscitation period essential changes of chromatin histone component are observed in neuronal nuclei of all the cortical layers studied.

Cortical spreading depolarization (CSD), the neurophysiological event believed to underlie aura, may trigger migraine headaches through inflammatory signaling that originates in neurons and spreads to the meninges via astrocytes. Increasing evidence from studies on rodents and migraine patients supports this hypothesis. The transition from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory mechanisms is crucial for resolving inflammation.

Polybromo-1 (PBRM1) serves as a crucial regulator of gene transcription in various tumors, including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA). However, the exact role of PBRM1 in iCCA and the mechanism by which it regulates downstream target genes remain unclear. This research has revealed that PBRM1 is significantly downregulated in iCCA tissues, and this reduced expression is linked to aggressive clinicopathological features and a poor prognosis.

Enhancing protein O-GlcNAcylation by pharmacological inhibition of the enzyme O-GlcNAcase (OGA) has been considered as a strategy to decrease tau and amyloid-beta phosphorylation, aggregation, and pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD). There is still more to be learned about the impact of enhancing global protein O-GlcNAcylation, which is important for understanding the potential of using OGA inhibition to treat neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we investigated the acute effect of pharmacologically increasing O-GlcNAc levels, using the OGA inhibitor Thiamet G (TG), in normal mouse brains.

Department of Neuroscience, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA.

The pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders involves vulnerable neural populations, including striatal circuitry, and convergent molecular nodes, including chromatin regulation and synapse function. Despite this, how epigenetic regulation regulates striatal development is understudied. Recurrent de novo mutations in are associated with intellectual disability and autism.
