Description
Obesity is a strong risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. We have previously reported that in adipose tissue of obese (ob/ob) mice, the expression of adipogenic genes is decreased. When made genetically obese, the BTBR mouse strain is diabetes susceptible and the C57BL/6J (B6) strain is diabetes resistant. We used DNA microarrays and RT-PCR to compare the gene expression in BTBR-ob/ob versus B6-ob/ob mice in adipose tissue, liver, skeletal muscle, and pancreatic islets. Our results show: 1) there is an increased expression of genes involved in inflammation in adipose tissue of diabetic mice; 2) lipogenic gene expression was lower in adipose tissue of diabetes-susceptible mice, and it continued to decrease with the development of diabetes, compared with diabetes-resistant obese mice; 3) hepatic expression of lipogenic enzymes was increased and the hepatic triglyceride content was greatly elevated in diabetes-resistant obese mice; 4) hepatic expression of gluconeogenic genes was suppressed at the prediabetic stage but not at the onset of diabetes; and 5) genes normally not expressed in skeletal muscle and pancreatic islets were expressed in these tissues in the diabetic mice. We propose that increased hepatic lipogenic capacity protects the B6-ob/ob mice from the development of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes 52:688700, 2003

Description
Abstract: Histones are small proteins that form the core of nucleosomes, around which eukaryotic DNA wraps to ultimately form the highly organized and compressed structure known as chromatin. The N-terminal tails of histones are highly modified, and the modification state of these proteins dictates whether chromatin is permissive or repressive to processes that require physical access to DNA, including transcription and DNA replication and repair. The enzymes that add and remove histone modifications are known to be exquisitely sensitive to endogenous small molecule metabolite availability. In this manner, chromatin can adapt to changes in environment, particularly diet-induced metabolic state. Importantly, gut microbiota contribute to robust host metabolic phenotypes, and produce a myriad of metabolites that are detectable in host circulation. Further, gut microbial community composition and metabolite production are regulated by host diet, as a major source of carbon and energy for the microbiota. While prior studies have reported robust host metabolic associations with gut microbiota, the mechanisms therein remain largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that microbial colonization regulates global histone acetylation and methylation in multiple host tissues including colon, adipose tissue, and liver. This regulatory relationship is altered by diet: a “Western-type” diet leads to a general suppression of the microbiota-dependent chromatin changes observed in a polysaccharide rich diet. Finally, we demonstrate that supplementation of germ-free mice with major products of gut bacterial fermentation (i.e., short-chain fatty acids acetate, propionate, and butyrate) is sufficient to recapitulate many of the effects of colonization on host epigenetic states. These findings have profound implications for understanding the complex functional interactions between diet, gut microbiota, and host health.

Description
Genetically engineered mouse models of cancer represent valuable biological tools that can be used to filter genome-wide expression datasets generated from human prostate tumours, and identify gene expression alterations that are functionally important to cancer development and progression. In this study, we have generated RNASeq data from tumours arising in two established mouse models of prostate cancer, PB-Cre/PtenloxP/loxP and p53loxP/loxPRbloxP/loxP, and integrated this with published human prostate cancer expression data to pinpoint cancer-associated gene expression changes that are conserved between the two species. In order to identify potential therapeutic targets, we then filtered this information for genes that are either known or predicted to be druggable. Using this approach, we identified the serine/threonine kinase MELK as a potential therapeutic target in prostate cancer. MELK was overexpressed in both human and murine prostate cancers, and high expression of MELK was associated with biochemical recurrence in prostate cancer patients. Overall design: 92 Samples
