  • REST regulates DYRK1A transcription in a negative feedback loop. 21252229

    DYRK1A (dual specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A) has been shown to be involved in learning and memory impairments in Alzheimer disease and Down syndrome. As a homolog of Drosophila minibrain gene, DYRK1A also plays important roles in neurodevelopment; however, the function and regulatory mechanism of DYRK1A in neurodevelopment remain elusive. REST (RE1 silencing transcription factor) plays vital roles in neuronal differentiation. Here, we found that REST can activate DYRK1A transcription via a neuron-restrictive silencer element at bp -833 to -815 of human DYRK1A promoter. The coordinated expression of DYRK1A and REST in mouse brain further supports the cross-interaction of DYRK1A and REST during neurodevelopment. Moreover, we showed that DYRK1A dosage imbalance reduced REST protein stability and transcriptional activity through facilitating ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of REST protein. Therefore, the regulation of DYRK1A by REST in a negative feedback loop suggests that DYRK1A and REST are closely related in neurodevelopment.

  • Peripheral ghrelin treatment stabilizes body weights of senescent male Brown Norway rats at baseline and after surgery. 18337314

    Unintentional weight loss may occur spontaneously in older humans and animals. Further weight losses after surgery or illness in the older patients result in increased morbidity, mortality, and hospital readmission rate. A growing body of work has shown increased appetite and weight gain in response to administration of ghrelin, the hunger hormone. We conducted two studies in senescent male Brown Norway rats to assess the ability of peripheral administration of ghrelin to increase body weight and food intake. One study assessed the effect of 2 wk of daily subcutaneous ghrelin administration (1 mg.kg(-1).day(-1)) to senescent rats in a baseline condition; a second study used the same administration protocol in an interventional experiment with aged rats subjected to a surgery with 10-15% blood loss as a model of elective surgery. In both studies, animals receiving ghrelin maintained their body weights, whereas control animals lost weight. Body weight stability was achieved in ghrelin-treated animals despite a lack of increase in daily or cumulative food intake in both experiments. Hormone and proinflammatory cytokine levels were measured before surgery and after 14 days of treatment. Ghrelin treatment appeared to blunt declining ghrelin levels and also to blunt cytokine increases seen in the surgical control group. The ability of peripheral ghrelin treatment to maintain body weights of senescent rats without concomitant increases in food intake may be due to its known ability to decrease sympathetic activity and metabolic rate, perhaps by limiting cytokine-driven inflammation.
