The first hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are generated during development from hemogenic endothelium (HE) through trans-differentiation. The molecular mechanisms underlying this endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT) remain poorly understood. Here, we explored the role of the epigenetic regulators HDAC1 and HDAC2 in the emergence of these first blood cells in vitro and in vivo. Loss of either of these epigenetic silencers through conditional genetic deletion reduced hematopoietic transition from HE, while combined deletion was incompatible with blood generation. We investigated the molecular basis of HDAC1 and HDAC2 requirement and identified TGF-β signaling as one of the pathways controlled by HDAC1 and HDAC2. Accordingly, we experimentally demonstrated that activation of this pathway in HE cells reinforces hematopoietic development. Altogether, our results establish that HDAC1 and HDAC2 modulate TGF-β signaling and suggest that stimulation of this pathway in HE cells would be beneficial for production of hematopoietic cells for regenerative therapies.

Sleep is crucial for sustaining normal physiological functions, and sleep deprivation has been associated with increased pain sensitivity. The histone deacetylases (HDACs) are known to significantly regulate in regulating neuropathic pain, but their involvement in nociceptive hypersensitivity during sleep deprivation is still not fully understood. Utilizing a modified multi-platform water environment technique to establish a sleep deprivation model.

Article Synopsis
- Histone Deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) removes acetyl groups from histones, impacting gene expression regulation, but its suppression leads to both increases and decreases in gene activity.
- The study used the dTAG system for rapid HDAC1 degradation in mouse embryonic stem cells, which allowed for specific removal within less than an hour.
- After HDAC1 degradation, most differentially expressed genes were upregulated within two hours, and changes in histone acetylation patterns indicated HDAC1's complex role in managing gene expression and enhancer activity for maintaining pluripotency.

Article Synopsis
- * The study found that removing the gene LSD1 in myeloid cells (which develop into osteoclasts) leads to increased bone mass and smaller osteoclasts in mice, indicating its role in bone health.
- * The research suggests that LSD1 influences osteoclast differentiation by affecting gene expression, specifically by interacting with other proteins that modify histones, ultimately impacting how osteoclasts function.
Exploring the impact of childhood maltreatment on epigenetic and brain-derived neurotrophic factor changes in bipolar disorder and healthy control.

Article Synopsis
- Childhood maltreatment is linked to changes in epigenetics and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which play a role in psychiatric conditions like bipolar disorder (BD), though specific mechanisms are still unclear.
- The study involved 36 BD patients and 46 healthy controls, using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) to evaluate the history of maltreatment and various biological markers related to epigenetics and BDNF.
- Findings indicate that emotional abuse is the main type of childhood maltreatment affecting epigenetic markers in BD, but it is suggested that these effects are cumulative and may interact with other factors influencing BD, rather than being a direct cause of the disorder.
Identification of alternative lengthening of telomeres-related genes prognosis model in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor worldwide, characterized by high mortality. This study aimed to explore the prognostic value and function of alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT)-related genes in HCC.
Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and then intersected with ALT-related genes to obtain ALTDEGs.
