    Description: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with impaired clearance of beta-amyloid (Abeta) from the brain, a process normally facilitated by apolipoprotein E (apoE). ApoE expression is transcriptionally induced through the action of the nuclear receptors peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and liver X receptors in coordination with retinoid X receptors (RXRs). Oral administration of the RXR agonist bexarotene to a mouse model of AD resulted in enhanced clearance of soluble Abeta within hours in an apoE-dependent manner. Abeta plaque area was reduced more than 50% within just 72 hours. Furthermore, bexarotene stimulated the rapid reversal of cognitive, social, and olfactory deficits and improved neural circuit function. Thus, RXR activation stimulates physiological Abeta clearance mechanisms, resulting in the rapid reversal of a broad range of Abeta-induced deficits.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3651582/" 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/PMC3651582/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cramer, Paige E -- Cirrito, John R -- Wesson, Daniel W -- Lee, C Y Daniel -- Karlo, J Colleen -- Zinn, Adriana E -- Casali, Brad T -- Restivo, Jessica L -- Goebel, Whitney D -- James, Michael J -- Brunden, Kurt R -- Wilson, Donald A -- Landreth, Gary E -- AG030482-03S1/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- DC003906/DC/NIDCD NIH HHS/ -- K01 AG029524/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P50-AG005681/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG030482/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG037693/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 DC003906/DC/NIDCD NIH HHS/ -- R01-AG037693/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Mar 23;335(6075):1503-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1217697.

    Description: The data reported in the Technical Comments by Fitz et al., Price et al., Tesseur et al., and Veeraraghavalu et al. replicate and validate our central conclusion that bexarotene stimulates the clearance of soluble beta-amyloid peptides and results in the reversal of behavioral deficits in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The basis of the inability to reproduce the drug-stimulated microglial-mediated reduction in plaque burden is unexplained. However, we concluded that plaque burden is functionally unrelated to improved cognition and memory elicited by bexarotene.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3714602/" 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/PMC3714602/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Landreth, Gary E -- Cramer, Paige E -- Lakner, Mitchell M -- Cirrito, John R -- Wesson, Daniel W -- Brunden, Kurt R -- Wilson, Donald A -- AG030482-03S1/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- DC003906/DC/NIDCD NIH HHS/ -- K01 AG029524/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- P50-AG005681/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 AG037693/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- R01 DC003906/DC/NIDCD NIH HHS/ -- R01-AG037693/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 May 24;340(6135):924-g. doi: 10.1126/science.1234114.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Alzheimer Research Laboratory, Department of Neurosciences, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, OH 44106, USA. gel2@case.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23704556" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: We present One Hand Clapping (OHC), a method for the detection of condition-specific interactions between transcription factors (TFs) from genome-wide gene activity measurements. OHC is based on a mapping between transcription factors and their target genes. Given a single case–control experiment, it uses a linear regression model to assess whether the common targets of two arbitrary TFs behave differently than expected from the genes targeted by only one of the TFs. When applied to osmotic stress data in S. cerevisiae , OHC produces consistent results across three types of expression measurements: gene expression microarray data, RNA Polymerase II ChIP-chip binding data and messenger RNA synthesis rates. Among the eight novel, condition-specific TF pairs, we validate the interaction between Gcn4p and Arr1p experimentally. We apply OHC to a large gene activity dataset in S. cerevisiae and provide a compendium of condition-specific TF interactions.

    Description: : Standard transcriptomics measures total cellular RNA levels. Our understanding of gene regulation would be greatly improved if we could measure RNA synthesis and decay rates on a genome-wide level. To that end, the Dynamic Transcriptome Analysis (DTA) method has been developed. DTA combines metabolic RNA labeling with standard transcriptomics to measure RNA synthesis and decay rates in a precise and non-perturbing manner. Here, we present the open source R / Bioconductor software package DTA . It implements all required bioinformatics steps that allow the accurate absolute quantification and comparison of RNA turnover. Availability: DTA is part of R / Bioconductor . To download and install DTA refer to http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.10/bioc/html/DTA.html Contact: schwalb@lmb.uni-muenchen.de
