View SamplesThe gene regulatory network in naïve mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) must be reconfigured for lineage competence. Tcf3 enables rewiring to formative pluripotency by repressing components of the ESC transcription factor circuitry. However, elimination of Tcf3 only delays, and does not prevent, state transition. Here we delineate distinct contributions of the Ets-family transcription factor Etv5 and the repressor Rbpj. Downstream of Erk1/2 signalling, Etv5 activates enhancers for formative pluripotency. Concomitant up-regulation of Rbpj ensures irreversible exit from the naïve state by extinguishing reversal factors, Nanog and Tbx3. Triple deletion of Etv5, Rbpj and Tcf3 incapacitates ESCs, such that they remain undifferentiated and locked in self-renewal even in the presence of differentiation stimuli. Thus, pluripotency progression is driven hierarchically by two repressors, that respectively dissolve and extinguish the naive network, and an initiator that commissions the formative network. Similar tripartite action may be a general mechanism for efficient cell transitions. Overall design: RNA-seq analysis of parental Rex1-GFPd2 ES cells (RGd2), and deletion mutants generated in this background (Etv5-KO, RbpJ-KO, Etv5-RpbJ-dKO, Etv5-RbpJ-Tcf3-tKO) cultured in 2i, N2B27 or supplemented with Chiron, 3 biological replicates per condition.

View SamplesExercise training improves whole body glucose homeostasis through effects largely attributed to adaptations in skeletal muscle; however, training also affects other tissues including adipose tissue. To determine if exercise-induced adaptations to adipose tissue contribute to training-induced improvements in glucose homeostasis, subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) from trained or sedentary donor mice was transplanted into the visceral cavity of sedentary recipients. Remarkably, nine days post-transplantation, mice receiving trained scWAT had improved glucose tolerance and enhanced insulin sensitivity compared to mice transplanted with sedentary scWAT or sham-treated mice. Mice transplanted with trained scWAT had increased insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in tibialis anterior and soleus muscles and brown adipose tissue, suggesting that the transplanted scWAT exerted endocrine effects. Furthermore, the deleterious effects of high-fat feeding on glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were completely reversed if high-fat fed recipient mice were transplanted with trained scWAT. In additional experiments, voluntary exercise training by wheel running for only 11 days resulted in profound changes in scWAT including increased expression of 1550 genes involved in numerous cellular functions, including metabolism. Exercise training causes adaptations to scWAT that elicit metabolic improvements in other tissues, demonstrating a previously unrecognized role for adipose tissue in the beneficial effects of exercise on systemic glucose homeostasis.

View SamplesIn this study, we tested if miRNAs are altered in amygdala and ventral striatum as a consequence of prenatal ethanol exposure and/or social enrichment. miRNA samples from 72 male and female adolescent rats were analyzed by RNA-Seq analysis and Affymetrix miRNA arrays. Several miRNAs showed significant changes due to prenatal ethanol exposure or social enrichment in one or both brain regions. Some of the miRNA changes caused by ethanol were reversed by social enrichment. The top predicted gene targets of these miRNAs were mapped and subjected to pathway enrichment analysis. We also directly examined the evidence for modulation of target mRNAs in whole transcriptome microarray data from the same rats. Among the pathways most strongly affected were p53, CREB, Glutamate and GABA signaling. Together, our data suggest a number of novel epigenetic mechanisms for social enrichment to reverse the effects of ethanol exposure.

Overall design: 16 individual neurons were collected and dissected (yielding a total of 32 soma and dendrite samples) from multiple cultures across multiple days. ERCC spike-in control RNA was added to each sample.
