    Description: Haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niches, although proposed decades ago, have only recently been identified as separate osteoblastic and vascular microenvironments. Their interrelationships and interactions with HSCs in vivo remain largely unknown. Here we report the use of a newly developed ex vivo real-time imaging technology and immunoassaying to trace the homing of purified green-fluorescent-protein-expressing (GFP(+)) HSCs. We found that transplanted HSCs tended to home to the endosteum (an inner bone surface) in irradiated mice, but were randomly distributed and unstable in non-irradiated mice. Moreover, GFP(+) HSCs were more frequently detected in the trabecular bone area compared with compact bone area, and this was validated by live imaging bioluminescence driven by the stem-cell-leukaemia (Scl) promoter-enhancer. HSCs home to bone marrow through the vascular system. We found that the endosteum is well vascularized and that vasculature is frequently localized near N-cadherin(+) pre-osteoblastic cells, a known niche component. By monitoring individual HSC behaviour using real-time imaging, we found that a portion of the homed HSCs underwent active division in the irradiated mice, coinciding with their expansion as measured by flow assay. Thus, in contrast to central marrow, the endosteum formed a special zone, which normally maintains HSCs but promotes their expansion in response to bone marrow damage.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Xie, Yucai -- Yin, Tong -- Wiegraebe, Winfried -- He, Xi C -- Miller, Diana -- Stark, Danny -- Perko, Katherine -- Alexander, Richard -- Schwartz, Joel -- Grindley, Justin C -- Park, Jungeun -- Haug, Jeff S -- Wunderlich, Joshua P -- Li, Hua -- Zhang, Simon -- Johnson, Teri -- Feldman, Ricardo A -- Li, Linheng -- England -- Nature. 2009 Jan 1;457(7225):97-101. doi: 10.1038/nature07639.

    Description: Exercise has beneficial effects on human health, including protection against metabolic disorders such as diabetes. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying these effects are incompletely understood. The lysosomal degradation pathway, autophagy, is an intracellular recycling system that functions during basal conditions in organelle and protein quality control. During stress, increased levels of autophagy permit cells to adapt to changing nutritional and energy demands through protein catabolism. Moreover, in animal models, autophagy protects against diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, infections, inflammatory diseases, ageing and insulin resistance. Here we show that acute exercise induces autophagy in skeletal and cardiac muscle of fed mice. To investigate the role of exercise-mediated autophagy in vivo, we generated mutant mice that show normal levels of basal autophagy but are deficient in stimulus (exercise- or starvation)-induced autophagy. These mice (termed BCL2 AAA mice) contain knock-in mutations in BCL2 phosphorylation sites (Thr69Ala, Ser70Ala and Ser84Ala) that prevent stimulus-induced disruption of the BCL2-beclin-1 complex and autophagy activation. BCL2 AAA mice show decreased endurance and altered glucose metabolism during acute exercise, as well as impaired chronic exercise-mediated protection against high-fat-diet-induced glucose intolerance. Thus, exercise induces autophagy, BCL2 is a crucial regulator of exercise- (and starvation)-induced autophagy in vivo, and autophagy induction may contribute to the beneficial metabolic effects of exercise.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3518436/" 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/PMC3518436/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉He, Congcong -- Bassik, Michael C -- Moresi, Viviana -- Sun, Kai -- Wei, Yongjie -- Zou, Zhongju -- An, Zhenyi -- Loh, Joy -- Fisher, Jill -- Sun, Qihua -- Korsmeyer, Stanley -- Packer, Milton -- May, Herman I -- Hill, Joseph A -- Virgin, Herbert W -- Gilpin, Christopher -- Xiao, Guanghua -- Bassel-Duby, Rhonda -- Scherer, Philipp E -- Levine, Beth -- 1P01 DK0887761/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P01 DK088761/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA142543/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA109618/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA112023/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK055758/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R0I AI084887/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R0I HL080244/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R0I HL090842/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- RC1 DK086629/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- RCI DK086629/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2012 Jan 18;481(7382):511-5. doi: 10.1038/nature10758.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Autophagy Research, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Boulevard, Dallas, Texas 75390, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22258505" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The epigenetic regulation of imprinted genes by monoallelic DNA methylation of either maternal or paternal alleles is critical for embryonic growth and development. Imprinted genes were recently shown to be expressed in mammalian adult stem cells to support self-renewal of neural and lung stem cells; however, a role for imprinting per se in adult stem cells remains elusive. Here we show upregulation of growth-restricting imprinted genes, including in the H19-Igf2 locus, in long-term haematopoietic stem cells and their downregulation upon haematopoietic stem cell activation and proliferation. A differentially methylated region upstream of H19 (H19-DMR), serving as the imprinting control region, determines the reciprocal expression of H19 from the maternal allele and Igf2 from the paternal allele. In addition, H19 serves as a source of miR-675, which restricts Igf1r expression. We demonstrate that conditional deletion of the maternal but not the paternal H19-DMR reduces adult haematopoietic stem cell quiescence, a state required for long-term maintenance of haematopoietic stem cells, and compromises haematopoietic stem cell function. Maternal-specific H19-DMR deletion results in activation of the Igf2-Igfr1 pathway, as shown by the translocation of phosphorylated FoxO3 (an inactive form) from nucleus to cytoplasm and the release of FoxO3-mediated cell cycle arrest, thus leading to increased activation, proliferation and eventual exhaustion of haematopoietic stem cells. Mechanistically, maternal-specific H19-DMR deletion leads to Igf2 upregulation and increased translation of Igf1r, which is normally suppressed by H19-derived miR-675. Similarly, genetic inactivation of Igf1r partly rescues the H19-DMR deletion phenotype. Our work establishes a new role for this unique form of epigenetic control at the H19-Igf2 locus in maintaining adult stem cells.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3896866/" 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/PMC3896866/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Venkatraman, Aparna -- He, Xi C -- Thorvaldsen, Joanne L -- Sugimura, Ryohichi -- Perry, John M -- Tao, Fang -- Zhao, Meng -- Christenson, Matthew K -- Sanchez, Rebeca -- Yu, Jaclyn Y -- Peng, Lai -- Haug, Jeffrey S -- Paulson, Ariel -- Li, Hua -- Zhong, Xiao-bo -- Clemens, Thomas L -- Bartolomei, Marisa S -- Li, Linheng -- GM51279/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM087376/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R37 GM051279/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Aug 15;500(7462):345-9. doi: 10.1038/nature12303.
