Description
Brain-derived serotonin favors appetite in mice following its binding to the Htr1a and Htr2b receptors in arcuate neurons of the hypothalamus. In this study, we identified that CREB is the transcriptional effector of brain-derived serotonin control of appetite in arcuate nuclei.

Description
Histone deacetylase inhibitors are efficacious epigenetic-based therapies for some cancers and neurological disorders; however, these drugs inhibit multiple Hdacs and have detrimental effects on the pre- and post-natal skeleton. To better understand how Hdac inhibitors affect the skeleton, we focused on understanding the role of one of their targets, Hdac3, in endochondral bone formation by deleting it in immature murine chondrocyte micro masses with Adeno-Cre. Hdac3-deficient chondrocytes expressed higher levels of pro-inflammatory and matrix degrading genes (e.g., Il-6, Mmp3, Mmp13, Saa3) and lower levels of genes related to the extracellular matrix production, bone development and ossification (e.g., Acan, Col2a1, Ihh, Col10a1). Histone acetylation was increased in and around genes with elevated expression. Overall design: High Throughput RNA sequencing and Chromatin immunopreciptation sequencing experiments were performed in chondrocyte cultures. Differential analysis was conducted on ChIP-seq and RNA-seq data to identify H3K27Ac profile for up and down regulated genes in Hdac3-deficient murine chondrocytes.

Description
Purpose: There is growing evidence that interaction between stromal and tumor cells is pivotal in breast cancer progression and response to therapy. Since the pioneer work of Allinen et al. suggested that during breast cancer progression striking changes occur in CD10+ stromal cells, we aimed to better characterize this cell population and its clinical relevance.
Publication Title
Characterization and clinical evaluation of CD10+ stroma cells in the breast cancer microenvironment.

Description
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) shows unique clinical features including an association with endometriosis and poor prognosis. We previously reported that the contents of endometriotic cysts, especially high concentrations of free iron, are a possible cause of OCCC carcinogenesis through iron-induced persistent oxidative stress. In this study, we conducted gene expression microarray analysis using 38 ovarian cancer cell lines and identified genes commonly expressed in both OCCC cell lines and clinical samples, which comprise an OCCC gene signature. The OCCC signature reproducibly predicts OCCC specimens in other microarray data sets, suggesting that this gene profile reflects the inherent biological characteristics of OCCC. The OCCC signature contains known markers of OCCC, such as hepatocyte nuclear factor-1b (HNF-1b) and versican (VCAN), and other genes that reflect oxidative stress. Expression of OCCC signature genes was induced by treatment of immortalized ovarian surface epithelial cells with the contents of endometriotic cysts, indicating that the OCCC signature is largely dependent on the tumor microenvironment. Induction of OCCC signature genes is at least in part epigenetically regulated, as we found hypomethylation of HNF-1b and VCAN in OCCC cell lines. This genomewide study indicates that the tumor microenvironment induces specific gene expression profiles that contribute to the development of distinct cancer subtypes.
