Extensive epigenetic remodeling occurs during the cell fate determination of stem cells. Previously, we discovered that eudesmin regulates lineage commitment of mesenchymal stem cells through the inhibition of signaling molecules. However, the epigenetic modulations upon eudesmin treatment in genomewide level have not been analyzed. Here, we present a transcriptome profiling data showing the enrichment in PRC2 target genes by eudesmin treatment. Furthermore, gene ontology analysis showed that PRC2 target genes downregulated by eudesmin are closely related to Wnt signaling and pluripotency. We selected as an eudesmin-dependent potential top hub gene in the Wnt signaling and pluripotency. Through the ChIP-qPCR and RT-qPCR, we found that eudesmin treatment increased the occupancy of PRC2 components, EZH2 and SUZ12, and H3K27me3 level on the promoter region of , downregulating its transcription level. According to the analysis of GEO profiles, DEGs by depletion of Oct4 showed an opposite pattern to DEGs by eudesmin treatment. Indeed, the expression of pluripotency markers, Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog, was upregulated upon eudesmin treatment. This finding demonstrates that pharmacological modulation of PRC2 dynamics by eudesmin might control Wnt signaling and maintain pluripotency of stem cells.

The aging of pancreatic beta cells is closely associated with various diseases, such as impaired glucose tolerance, yet the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we screened young and aged mouse pancreatic beta cells' high-throughput sequencing data from the GEO public database. Utilizing bioinformatics techniques, we identified the key regulatory factor YY1 in the aging process of pancreatic islets.

Background: The purpose of this research was to study whether verbenalin, an iridoid glucoside, and (+)-eudesmin, a furofuran lignan isolated from different plant families, can attenuate cell damage and death induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells.
Methods: SH-SY5Y cells were incubated with 6-OHDA (35 µM) for 1 day. Verbenalin and (+)-eudesmin were administrated with various concentrations (1, 2.

Article Synopsis
- Furofuran lignanes, found in various plants, have potential benefits for treating infectious, inflammatory, and metabolic diseases.
- In Chile, specific compounds such as eudesmin and others are produced by a native conifer and can be extracted using a simpler Soxhlet method instead of traditional chromatography.
- The study found that eudesmin exhibits moderate antibacterial activity against yeast, while its altered forms (epieudesmin and brominated derivatives) show reduced or no activity.
