    Description: Osteoclasts are multinucleated haematopoietic cells that resorb bone. Increased osteoclast activity causes osteoporosis, a disorder resulting in a low bone mass and a high risk of fractures. Increased osteoclast size and numbers are also a hallmark of other disorders, such as Paget's disease and multiple myeloma. The protein c-Fos, a component of the AP-1 transcription factor complex, is essential for osteoclast differentiation. Here we show that the Fos-related protein Fra-2 controls osteoclast survival and size. The bones of Fra-2-deficient newborn mice have giant osteoclasts, and signalling through leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and its receptor is impaired. Similarly, newborn animals lacking LIF have giant osteoclasts, and we show that LIF is a direct transcriptional target of Fra-2 and c-Jun. Moreover, bones deficient in Fra-2 and LIF are hypoxic and express increased levels of hypoxia-induced factor 1alpha (HIF1alpha) and Bcl-2. Overexpression of Bcl-2 is sufficient to induce giant osteoclasts in vivo, whereas Fra-2 and LIF affect HIF1alpha through transcriptional modulation of the HIF prolyl hydroxylase PHD2. This pathway is operative in the placenta, because specific inactivation of Fra-2 in the embryo alone does not cause hypoxia or the giant osteoclast phenotype. Thus placenta-induced hypoxia during embryogenesis leads to the formation of giant osteoclasts in young pups. These findings offer potential targets for the treatment of syndromes associated with increased osteoclastogenesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bozec, Aline -- Bakiri, Latifa -- Hoebertz, Astrid -- Eferl, Robert -- Schilling, Arndt F -- Komnenovic, Vukoslav -- Scheuch, Harald -- Priemel, Matthias -- Stewart, Colin L -- Amling, Michael -- Wagner, Erwin F -- England -- Nature. 2008 Jul 10;454(7201):221-5. doi: 10.1038/nature07019.

    Description: Fat tissue is the most important energy depot in vertebrates. The release of free fatty acids (FFAs) from stored fat requires the enzymatic activity of lipases. We showed that genetic inactivation of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) in mice increases adipose mass and leads to triacylglycerol deposition in multiple tissues. ATGL-deficient mice accumulated large amounts of lipid in the heart, causing cardiac dysfunction and premature death. Defective cold adaptation indicated that the enzyme provides FFAs to fuel thermogenesis. The reduced availability of ATGL-derived FFAs leads to increased glucose use, increased glucose tolerance, and increased insulin sensitivity. These results indicate that ATGL is rate limiting in the catabolism of cellular fat depots and plays an important role in energy homeostasis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Haemmerle, Guenter -- Lass, Achim -- Zimmermann, Robert -- Gorkiewicz, Gregor -- Meyer, Carola -- Rozman, Jan -- Heldmaier, Gerhard -- Maier, Robert -- Theussl, Christian -- Eder, Sandra -- Kratky, Dagmar -- Wagner, Erwin F -- Klingenspor, Martin -- Hoefler, Gerald -- Zechner, Rudolf -- F 3001/Austrian Science Fund FWF/Austria -- F 3002/Austrian Science Fund FWF/Austria -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 May 5;312(5774):734-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Molecular Biosciences, University of Graz, Austria.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16675698" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In vitro studies suggest a role for c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) in proatherogenic cellular processes. We show that atherosclerosis-prone ApoE-/- mice simultaneously lacking JNK2 (ApoE-/- JNK2-/- mice), but not ApoE-/- JNK1-/- mice, developed less atherosclerosis than do ApoE-/- mice. Pharmacological inhibition of JNK activity efficiently reduced plaque formation. Macrophages lacking JNK2 displayed suppressed foam cell formation caused by defective uptake and degradation of modified lipoproteins and showed increased amounts of the modified lipoprotein-binding and -internalizing scavenger receptor A (SR-A), whose phosphorylation was markedly decreased. Macrophage-restricted deletion of JNK2 was sufficient to decrease atherogenesis. Thus, JNK2-dependent phosphorylation of SR-A promotes uptake of lipids in macrophages, thereby regulating foam cell formation, a critical step in atherogenesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ricci, Romeo -- Sumara, Grzegorz -- Sumara, Izabela -- Rozenberg, Izabela -- Kurrer, Michael -- Akhmedov, Alexander -- Hersberger, Martin -- Eriksson, Urs -- Eberli, Franz R -- Becher, Burkhard -- Boren, Jan -- Chen, Mian -- Cybulsky, Myron I -- Moore, Kathryn J -- Freeman, Mason W -- Wagner, Erwin F -- Matter, Christian M -- Luscher, Thomas F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Nov 26;306(5701):1558-61.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Cardiovascular Research, Institute of Physiology, and Division of Cardiology, University Hospital Zurich, CH-8057 Zurich, Switzerland. romeo.ricci@cell.biol.ethz.ca〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15567863" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Mice and cells lacking the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) were generated to examine its physiological role in vivo. Mutant fetuses are retarded in growth and die at mid-gestation in a 129/Sv genetic background, whereas in a 129/Sv x C57BL/6 cross some survive until birth and even to postnatal day 20 in a 129/Sv x C57BL/6 x MF1 background. Death in utero probably results from a defect in the spongiotrophoblast layer of the placenta. Newborn mutant mice have open eyes, rudimentary whiskers, immature lungs, and defects in the epidermis, correlating with the expression pattern of the EGFR as monitored by beta-galactosidase activity. These defects are probably cell-autonomous because chimeric mice generated with EGFR-/- embryonic stem cells contribute small amounts of mutant cells to some organs. These results indicate that the EGFR regulates epithelial proliferation and differentiation and that the genetic background influences the resulting phenotype.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sibilia, M -- Wagner, E F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1995 Jul 14;269(5221):234-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP), Vienna, Austria.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7618085" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Mice lacking the proto-oncogene c-fos develop the bone disease osteopetrosis. Fos mutant mice were found to have a block in the differentiation of bone-resorbing osteoclasts that was intrinsic to hematopoietic cells. Bone marrow transplantation rescued the osteopetrosis, and ectopic c-fos expression overcame this differentiation block. The lack of Fos also caused a lineage shift between osteoclasts and macrophages that resulted in increased numbers of bone marrow macrophages. These results identify Fos as a key regulator of osteoclast-macrophage lineage determination in vivo and provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic bone diseases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Grigoriadis, A E -- Wang, Z Q -- Cecchini, M G -- Hofstetter, W -- Felix, R -- Fleisch, H A -- Wagner, E F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 21;266(5184):443-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP), Vienna, Austria.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939685" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Foreign gene sequences were retained in two adult mice (out of 62 analyzed) from fertilized eggs injected with a recombinant plasmid containing the human beta-globin genomic region and the herpes simplex viral thymidine kinase gene. The intact human and viral genes were found in DNA of one of the animals and, in the other, at least part of the human globin gene was present. The latter individual transmitted these sequences to its progeny in a Mendelian ration. Thus, human DNA may be incorporated into the germ line of mice for in vivo studies of regulation of gene expression in development, genetic diseases, and malignancy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Steward, T A -- Wagner, E F -- Mintz, B -- CA-60927/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HD-01646/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- RR-05539/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Sep 10;217(4564):1046-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6287575" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
