Neuronal hyperexcitability: A key to unraveling hippocampal synaptic dysfunction in Lafora disease

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objective Lafora disease (LD) is a rare progressive disorder caused by mutations in the EPM2A or EPM2B genes, characterized by the accumulation of Lafora bodies, drug‐resistant epilepsy, and cognitive decline. To investigate the early molecular mechanisms of LD, we studied electrophysiological changes in the dentate gyrus (DG ...

D1/D5 receptor activation promotes long‐term potentiation and synaptic tagging/capture in hippocampal area CA2

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Activation of dopamine receptor D1 (D1R) stimulates PKA and ERK pathways via dissociation of stimulatory and olfactory G protein alpha subunits (Gαs/olf). PKA relieves striatal‐enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase (STEP) inhibition of ERK, promoting cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element‐binding protein (CREB)‐driven transcription of ...

Ligand‐specific tuning of CLEC10A signalling strength and dendritic cell responses through engagement of different GalNAc‐containing glycan structures

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The authors investigated the effects of various glycan ligands for CLEC10A, a lectin receptor expressed on dendritic cells (DCs). Monocyte‐derived DCs were stimulated with glycan‐conjugated dendrimers in combination with the TLR1/2 ligand Pam3CysK4, and responses were investigated at the mRNA and protein level.

Transcriptional regulation of human NMNAT2: insights from 3D genome sequencing and bioinformatics

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
NMNAT2 is a valuable drug target, as low levels increase the risk of neurodegeneration. We employed 4C‐seq to identify NMNAT2 regulatory regions in the human genome, revealing distinct interactomes of the NMNAT2 promoter in undifferentiated and neuron‐like SH‐SY5Y cells. Additionally, we uncovered NMNAT2‐associated genes and transcription factors. This

Hypoxia regulates Th17/Treg balance by altering chromatin accessibility and gene expression

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
T‐cell differentiation into Th17 or iTreg cells is key to inflammation control. Integrated RNA‐seq and ATAC‐seq analyses reveal that hypoxia induces more extensive gene expression changes in iTreg cells. Elevated levels of Hif1a and Stat3, along with increased accessibility to key transcription factor motifs, may predispose these cells toward ...

Mandibular Condylar Cartilage in Development and Diseases: A PTHrP‐Centric View

open access: yesOrthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) is a dual‐function component of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), acting as both articular cartilage for jaw movement and growth cartilage for vertical growth of the mandibular condyle. Parathyroid hormone‐related protein (PTHrP) plays a critical role in orchestrating chondrogenesis in the long bone ...
