Description
C/EBP is an important regulator of oncogene-induced senescence (OIS). Here we show that C/EBP, a heterodimeric partner of C/EBP whose biological functions are not well understood, inhibits cellular senescence. Cebpg-/- MEFs proliferated poorly, entered senescence prematurely, and expressed a pro-inflammatory gene signature, including elevated levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) genes whose induction by oncogenic stress requires C/EBP. The senescence-suppressing activity of C/EBP required its ability to heterodimerize with C/EBP. Covalently linked C/EBP homodimers (~) inhibited the proliferation and tumorigenicity of RasV12-transformed NIH3T3 cells, activated SASP gene expression, and recruited the CBP co-activator in a Ras-dependent manner, whereas ~ heterodimers lacked these capabilities and efficiently rescued proliferation of Cebpg-/- MEFs. C/EBP depletion partially restored growth of C/EBP-deficient cells, indicating that the increased levels of C/EBP homodimers in Cebpg-/- MEFs inhibit proliferation. The proliferative functions of C/EBP are not restricted to fibroblasts, as hematopoietic progenitors from Cebpg-/- bone marrow also displayed impaired growth. Furthermore, high CEBPG expression correlated with poorer clinical prognoses in several human cancers, and C/EBP depletion decreased proliferation and induced senescence in lung tumor cells. Our findings demonstrate that C/EBP neutralizes the cytostatic activity of C/EBP through heterodimerization, which prevents senescence and suppresses basal transcription of SASP genes.

Description
Both cellular senescence and organismic aging are known to be dynamic processes that start early in life and progress constantly during the whole life of the individual. In this work, with the objective of identifying signatures of age-related progressive change at the transcriptomic level, we have performed a whole-genome gene expression analysis of peripheral blood leukocytes in a group of healthy individuals with ages ranging from 14 to 93 years. A set of genes with progressively changing gene expression (either increase or decrease with age) has been identified and contextualized in a coexpression network. A modularity analysis has been performed on this network and biological-term and pathway enrichment analyses have been used for biological interpretation of each module. In summary, the results of the present work reveal the existence of a transcriptomic component that shows progressive expression changes associated to age in peripheral blood leukocytes, highlighting both the dynamic nature of the process and the need to complement young vs. elder studies with longitudinal studies that includes middle aged individuals. From the transcriptional point of view, immunosenescence seems to be occurring from a relatively early age, at least from the late 20s/early 30s, and the 49 56 y/o age-range appears to be critical. In general, the genes that, according to our results, show progressive expression changes with aging are involved in pathogenic/cellular processes that have classically been linked to aging in humans: cancer, immune processes and cellular growth vs. maintenance.

Description
BALB/c mice are susceptible to proteoglycan (PG) aggrecan-induced arthritis (PGIA), and the absence of TSG-6 further increases susceptibility and local inflammatory reactions, including neutrophil invasion into the joints. To gain insight into the mechanisms of TSG-6 action, synovial fibroblasts were isolated from wild-type and TSG-6-KO mice, cultured and exposed to various agents affecting either the TSG-6 expression and/or modify the intracellular function of TSG-6.

Description
Neuronal migration disorders such as lissencephaly and subcortical band heterotopia (SBH) are associated with epilepsy and intellectual disability. Doublecortin (DCX), LIS1 and alpha1-tubulin (TUBA1A), are mutated in these disorders, however corresponding mouse mutants do not show heterotopic neurons in the neocortex. On the other hand, the spontaneously arisen HeCo mouse mutant displays this phenotype. The study of this model reveals novel mechanisms of heterotopia formation. While, HeCo neurons migrate at the same speed as WT, abnormally distributed dividing progenitors were found throughout the cortical wall from E13. Through genetic studies we identified Eml1 as the mutant gene in HeCo mice. No full length transcripts of Eml1 were identified due to a retrotransposon insertion in an intron. Re-expression of Eml1, coding for a microtubule-associated protein, rescues the HeCo progenitor phenotype. We further show that EML1 is mutated in giant ribbon-like heterotopia in human. Our data link abnormal spindle orientations, ectopic progenitors and severe heterotopia in mouse and human.
