    Nuclear cloning and epigenetic reprogramming of the genome (2001)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2001-08-11
    Description: Cloning of mammals by nuclear transfer (NT) results in gestational or neonatal failure with at most a few percent of manipulated embryos resulting in live births. Many of those that survive to term succumb to a variety of abnormalities that are likely due to inappropriate epigenetic reprogramming. Cloned embryos derived from donors, such as embryonic stem cells, that may require little or no reprogramming of early developmental genes develop substantially better beyond implantation than NT clones derived from somatic cells. Although recent experiments have demonstrated normal reprogramming of telomere length and X chromosome inactivation, epigenetic information established during gametogenesis, such as gametic imprints, cannot be restored after nuclear transfer. Survival of cloned animals to birth and beyond, despite substantial transcriptional dysregulation, is consistent with mammalian development being rather tolerant to epigenetic abnormalities, with lethality resulting only beyond a threshold of faulty gene reprogramming encompassing multiple loci.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rideout , W M 3rd -- Eggan, K -- Jaenisch, R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Aug 10;293(5532):1093-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and, Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 9 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11498580" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Epigenetic instability in ES cells and cloned mice (2001)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2001-07-07
    Description: Cloning by nuclear transfer (NT) is an inefficient process in which most clones die before birth and survivors often display growth abnormalities. In an effort to correlate gene expression with survival and fetal overgrowth, we have examined imprinted gene expression in both mice cloned by nuclear transfer and in the embryonic stem (ES) cell donor populations from which they were derived. The epigenetic state of the ES cell genome was found to be extremely unstable. Similarly, variation in imprinted gene expression was observed in most cloned mice, even in those derived from ES cells of the same subclone. Many of the animals survived to adulthood despite widespread gene dysregulation, indicating that mammalian development may be rather tolerant to epigenetic aberrations of the genome. These data imply that even apparently normal cloned animals may have subtle abnormalities in gene expression.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Humpherys, D -- Eggan, K -- Akutsu, H -- Hochedlinger, K -- Rideout , W M 3rd -- Biniszkiewicz, D -- Yanagimachi, R -- Jaenisch, R -- 5-R35-CA44339/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01-CA84198/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Jul 6;293(5527):95-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 9 Cambridge Center, Cambridge MA 02142, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11441181" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    X-Chromosome inactivation in cloned mouse embryos (2000)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2000-11-25
    Description: To study whether cloning resets the epigenetic differences between the two X chromosomes of a somatic female nucleus, we monitored X inactivation in cloned mouse embryos. Both X chromosomes were active during cleavage of cloned embryos, followed by random X inactivation in the embryo proper. In the trophectoderm (TE), X inactivation was nonrandom with the inactivated X of the somatic donor being chosen for inactivation. When female embryonic stem cells with two active X chromosomes were used as donors, random X inactivation was seen in the TE and embryo. These results demonstrate that epigenetic marks can be removed and reestablished on either X chromosome during cloning. Our results also suggest that the epigenetic marks imposed on the X chromosomes during gametogenesis, responsible for normal imprinted X inactivation in the TE, are functionally equivalent to the marks imposed on the chromosomes during somatic X inactivation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Eggan, K -- Akutsu, H -- Hochedlinger, K -- Rideout, W 3rd -- Yanagimachi, R -- Jaenisch, R -- 5-R35-CA44339/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01-CA84198/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Nov 24;290(5496):1578-81.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 9 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11090356" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    HDAC2 negatively regulates memory formation and synaptic plasticity (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-05-09
    Description: Chromatin modifications, especially histone-tail acetylation, have been implicated in memory formation. Increased histone-tail acetylation induced by inhibitors of histone deacetylases (HDACis) facilitates learning and memory in wild-type mice as well as in mouse models of neurodegeneration. Harnessing the therapeutic potential of HDACis requires knowledge of the specific HDAC family member(s) linked to cognitive enhancement. Here we show that neuron-specific overexpression of HDAC2, but not that of HDAC1, decreased dendritic spine density, synapse number, synaptic plasticity and memory formation. Conversely, Hdac2 deficiency resulted in increased synapse number and memory facilitation, similar to chronic treatment with HDACis in mice. Notably, reduced synapse number and learning impairment of HDAC2-overexpressing mice were ameliorated by chronic treatment with HDACis. Correspondingly, treatment with HDACis failed to further facilitate memory formation in Hdac2-deficient mice. Furthermore, analysis of promoter occupancy revealed an association of HDAC2 with the promoters of genes implicated in synaptic plasticity and memory formation. Taken together, our results suggest that HDAC2 functions in modulating synaptic plasticity and long-lasting changes of neural circuits, which in turn negatively regulates learning and memory. These observations encourage the development and testing of HDAC2-selective inhibitors for human diseases associated with memory impairment.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3498958/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3498958/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Guan, Ji-Song -- Haggarty, Stephen J -- Giacometti, Emanuela -- Dannenberg, Jan-Hermen -- Joseph, Nadine -- Gao, Jun -- Nieland, Thomas J F -- Zhou, Ying -- Wang, Xinyu -- Mazitschek, Ralph -- Bradner, James E -- DePinho, Ronald A -- Jaenisch, Rudolf -- Tsai, Li-Huei -- R01 DA028301/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- R01 DA028301-02/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS051874/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 May 7;459(7243):55-60. doi: 10.1038/nature07925.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19424149" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Antigen-specific B-cell receptor sensitizes B cells to infection by influenza virus (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-10-22
    Description: Influenza A virus-specific B lymphocytes and the antibodies they produce protect against infection. However, the outcome of interactions between an influenza haemagglutinin-specific B cell via its receptor (BCR) and virus is unclear. Through somatic cell nuclear transfer we generated mice that harbour B cells with a BCR specific for the haemagglutinin of influenza A/WSN/33 virus (FluBI mice). Their B cells secrete an immunoglobulin gamma 2b that neutralizes infectious virus. Whereas B cells from FluBI and control mice bind equivalent amounts of virus through interaction of haemagglutinin with surface-disposed sialic acids, the A/WSN/33 virus infects only the haemagglutinin-specific B cells. Mere binding of virus is not sufficient for infection of B cells: this requires interactions of the BCR with haemagglutinin, causing both disruption of antibody secretion and FluBI B-cell death within 18 h. In mice infected with A/WSN/33, lung-resident FluBI B cells are infected by the virus, thus delaying the onset of protective antibody release into the lungs, whereas FluBI cells in the draining lymph node are not infected and proliferate. We propose that influenza targets and kills influenza-specific B cells in the lung, thus allowing the virus to gain purchase before the initiation of an effective adaptive response.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3863936/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3863936/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dougan, Stephanie K -- Ashour, Joseph -- Karssemeijer, Roos A -- Popp, Maximilian W -- Avalos, Ana M -- Barisa, Marta -- Altenburg, Arwen F -- Ingram, Jessica R -- Cragnolini, Juan Jose -- Guo, Chunguang -- Alt, Frederick W -- Jaenisch, Rudolf -- Ploegh, Hidde L -- DP1 GM106409/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI033456/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI087879/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM100518/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HD045022/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R37 HD045022/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Nov 21;503(7476):406-9. doi: 10.1038/nature12637.

    Transnuclear mice with predefined T cell receptor specificities against Toxoplasma gondii obtained via SCNT (2010)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-04-10
    Description: Mice that are transgenic for rearranged antigen-specific T cell receptors (TCRs) are essential tools to study T cell development and function. Such TCRs are usually isolated from the relevant T cells after long-term culture, often after repeated antigen stimulation, which unavoidably skews the T cell population used. Random genomic integration of the TCR alpha and beta chain and expression from nonendogenous promoters represent additional drawbacks of transgenics. Using epigenetic reprogramming via somatic cell nuclear transfer, we demonstrated that T cells with predefined specificities against Toxoplasma gondii can be used to generate mouse models that express the TCR from their endogenous loci, without experimentally introduced genetic modification. The relative ease and speed with which such transnuclear models can be obtained holds promise for the construction of other disease models.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2940321/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2940321/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kirak, Oktay -- Frickel, Eva-Maria -- Grotenbreg, Gijsbert M -- Suh, Heikyung -- Jaenisch, Rudolf -- Ploegh, Hidde L -- R01 GM062502/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM062502-08/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01-HD045022/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI033456/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI033456-17/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37-CA084198/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Apr 9;328(5975):243-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1178590.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA. kirak@wi.mit.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20378817" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Identification and rescue of alpha-synuclein toxicity in Parkinson patient-derived neurons (2013)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-10-26
    Description: The induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell field holds promise for in vitro disease modeling. However, identifying innate cellular pathologies, particularly for age-related neurodegenerative diseases, has been challenging. Here, we exploited mutation correction of iPS cells and conserved proteotoxic mechanisms from yeast to humans to discover and reverse phenotypic responses to alpha-synuclein (alphasyn), a key protein involved in Parkinson's disease (PD). We generated cortical neurons from iPS cells of patients harboring alphasyn mutations, who are at high risk of developing PD dementia. Genetic modifiers from unbiased screens in a yeast model of alphasyn toxicity led to identification of early pathogenic phenotypes in patient neurons. These included nitrosative stress, accumulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation substrates, and ER stress. A small molecule identified in a yeast screen (NAB2), and the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4 it affects, reversed pathologic phenotypes in these neurons.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4022187/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4022187/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chung, Chee Yeun -- Khurana, Vikram -- Auluck, Pavan K -- Tardiff, Daniel F -- Mazzulli, Joseph R -- Soldner, Frank -- Baru, Valeriya -- Lou, Yali -- Freyzon, Yelena -- Cho, Sukhee -- Mungenast, Alison E -- Muffat, Julien -- Mitalipova, Maisam -- Pluth, Michael D -- Jui, Nathan T -- Schule, Birgitt -- Lippard, Stephen J -- Tsai, Li-Huei -- Krainc, Dimitri -- Buchwald, Stephen L -- Jaenisch, Rudolf -- Lindquist, Susan -- 5 R01CA084198/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- K01 AG038546/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P50 AG005134/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA084198/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM058160/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Nov 22;342(6161):983-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1245296.

    Retroviruses and mouse embryos: a rapid model for neurovirulence and transplacental antiviral therapy (1987)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1987-06-26
    Description: A murine model in which neurotropic retroviral infection can be studied over short periods of time was developed. Microinjection of Cas-Br-E virus into midgestation mouse embryos caused paralysis and death within 25 days after birth, in contrast to virus-infected neonates which develop disease only after 4 months. To evaluate whether antiviral drugs could cross the placental barrier and influence the course of the disease, the drug 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) was administered to infected embryos through the drinking water of pregnant females. AZT treatment markedly retarded the onset and course of virus-induced central nervous system disease, permitting animals to survive beyond 4 months of age. These results are evidence for effective antiviral treatment during gestation and in the perinatal period and are of potential significance for the management of maternal transmission of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) virus.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sharpe, A H -- Jaenisch, R -- Ruprecht, R M -- CA38497/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HD19015/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- U01-AI24845-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1987 Jun 26;236(4809):1671-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3037694" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
