Description
We compared the gene expressions of the intestine, liver and spleen tissues between mice at 4 months of age and mice at 28 months of age. We used microarrays to examine the age-related changes of gene expressions of the jejunum, ileum, distal colon, liver and spleen in mice. Abbreviations used: C, 28-month-old mice; Y, 4-month-old mice.

Description
We performed the long-term administration experiment using a yogurt fermented with Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus 2038 and Streptococcus thermophilus 1131 (LB81 yogurt) for 20 months in order to understand the effects of the long-term intake of probiotics on mice. Microarrays were used to compare the gene expressions of the intestine, liver and spleen tissues between control mice and LB81 yogurt-intake mice at 28 months of age.

Description
Polarization of macrophages to M1 or M2 cells is important for mounting responses against bacterial and helminth infection respectively. Jumonji domain containing 3 (JMJD3), a histone 3 K27 demethylase, has been implicated in the activation of macrophages. Here we show that JMJD3 is essential for M2 macrophage polarization to helminth infection and chitin, though JMJD3 is dispensable for M1 responses. Furthermore, Jmjd3 is critical for proper bone marrow macrophage differentiation in a demethylase activity-dependent manner. Jmjd3 deficiency affected trimethylation of H3K27 in only a limited numbers of genes. Among them, we identified Irf4 as the target transcription factor critical for controlling M2 macrophage polarization. Collectively, these results show that JMJD3-mediated H3K27 demethylation is critical for regulating M2 macrophage development leading to anti-helminth host responses.

Description
Embryogenesis is tightly regulated by multiple levels of epigenetic systems such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and chromatin remodeling. DNA methylation patterns are erased in primordial germ cells and in the interval immediately following fertilization. Subsequent reprogramming occurs by de novo methylation and demethylation. Variance of DNA methylation patterns between different cell types is not well understood. Here, using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and tiling array technology, we have comprehensively analysed DNA methylation patterns at proximal promoter regions in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, ES cell-derived early germ layers (ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm) and four adult tissues (brain, liver, skeletal muscle and sperm). Most of the methylated regions in the three germ layers and in the three adult somatic tissues are shared in common. This commonly methylated gene set is enriched in germ cell associated genes that are generally transcriptionally inactive in somatic cells. We also compared DNA methylation patterns with global mapping of histone H3 lysine 4/27 trimethylation, and found that gain of DNA methylation correlates with loss of histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation. Taken together, our findings indicate that differentiation from ES cells to the three germ layers is accompanied by an increase in the number of commonly methylated DNA regions and that these tissue-specific alterations are present for only a small number of genes. Our findings indicate that DNA methylation at the proximal promoter regions of commonly methylated genes act as an irreversible mark which fixes somatic lineage by repressing transcription of germ cell specific genes.

Description
Intestinal polyposis, a precancerous neoplasia, results primarily from an abnormal increase in the number of crypts. Crypts contain intestinal stem cells (ISCs). Thus intestinal polyposis provides an ideal condition for studying stem cell involvement in polyp/tumor formation. Using a conditional knock-out mouse model, we found that the tumor suppressor Phosphatase of Tension homolog (PTEN) governs the proliferation rate and number of ISCs and loss of PTEN results in an excess of ISCs. In PTEN mutants, excess ISCs initiate de-novo crypt formation and crypt fission, recapitulating crypt production in fetal/neonatal intestine. Microarray studies were used to profile the changes in gene expression that occurred when PTEN was knocked out in the intestine.
