Parkinson mice show functional and molecular changes in the gut long before motoric disease onset

Hilal Lashuel, Yang Liu

Background: There is increasing evidence that Parkinson's disease (PD) might start in the gut, thus involving and compromising also the enteric nervous system (ENS). At the clinical onset of the disease the majority of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain ...

Gene-by-environment modulation of lifespan and weight gain in the murine BXD family

Johan Auwerx, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Evan Graehl Williams, Pooja Jha

How lifespan and body weight vary as a function of diet and genetic differences is not well understood. Here we quantify the impact of differences in diet on lifespan in a genetically diverse family of female mice, split into matched isogenic cohorts fed a ...

Follicular regulatory helper T cells control the response of regulatory B cells to a high-cholesterol diet

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Aims B cell functions in the process of atherogenesis have been investigated but several aspects remain to be clarified. ...

SIRT7 modulates the stability and activity of the renal K-Cl cotransporter KCC4 through deacetylation

Johan Auwerx, Dongryeol Ryu, Olivier Staub, Lilia Noriega Lopez

SIRT7 is a NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase that controls important aspects of metabolism, cancer, and bone formation. However, the molecular targets and functions of SIRT7 in the kidney are currently unknown. In silico analysis of kidney transcripts of the BX ...

SMN Depleted Mice Offer a Robust and Rapid Onset Model of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Bernard Schneider

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered a health epidemic with potential devastating effects on the patients and the healthcare systems. Current preclinical models of NAFLD are invariably imperfect and generally take a lon ...

The role and transcriptional regulation of FAM46A in adipocyte differentiation

Ann-Kristin Hov

Obesity is currently a leading global health concern. Treatments include undergoing a weight-loss regimen. However, successful weight-loss is variable, where the heritability of obesity is considered part of the cause. This patient variability to weight-lo ...

Mouse Systems Genetics as a Prelude to Precision Medicine

Johan Auwerx, Hao Li

Mouse models have been instrumental in understanding human disease biology and proposing possible new treatments. The precise control of the environment and genetic composition of mice allows more rigorous observations, but limits the generalizability and ...

Blood Flow to the Spleen is Altered in a Mouse Model of Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Bernard Schneider

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disorder affecting young children. While pre-clinical models of SMA show small spleens, the same is not true in humans. Here, we show by doppler ultrasonography decreased splenic blood flow in Smn(2B/-) mice ...

The glucocorticoid receptor in the nucleus accumbens plays a crucial role in social rank attainment in rodents

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Fiona Hollis, Ioannis Zalachoras, Meltem Weger, Thomas Didier Larrieu, Alexandre Claude Gustave Bacq

Social hierarchy in social species is usually established through competitive encounters with conspecifics. It determines the access to limited resources and, thus, leads to reduced fights among individuals within a group. Despite the known importance of s ...

FasR Regulates Fatty Acid Biosynthesis and Is Essential for Virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiologic agent of human tuberculosis, is the world's leading cause of death from an infectious disease. One of the main features of this pathogen is the complex and dynamic lipid composition of the cell envelope, which adap ...

Crosstalk between Drp1 phosphorylation sites during mitochondrial dynamics and metabolic adaptation

Miriam Valera Alberni

Mitochondria are highly dynamics organelles that undergo coordinated cycles of fission and fusion, referred to as mitochondrial dynamics. Mitochondrial dynamics regulate mitochondrial bioenergetics and allow cells to adapt to changing cellular stresses and ...
