Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic DNA methylation programs persistent adverse effects of early-life stress
Chris Murgatroyd,Alexandre V. Patchev,Yonghe Wu,Vincenzo Micale,Yvonne Bockmühl,Dieter Fischer,Florian Holsboer,Carsten T. Wotjak,Osborne F. X. Almeida,Dietmar Spengler +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that neuronal activity controlled the ability of MeCP2 to regulate activity-dependent transcription of the Avp gene and induced epigenetic marking, which can dynamically control DNA methylation in postmitotic neurons to generate stable changes in Avp expression that trigger neuroendocrine and behavioral alterations that are frequent features in depression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subtle shifts in the ratio between pro- and antiapoptotic molecules after activation of corticosteroid receptors decide neuronal fate
Osborne F. X. Almeida,G. L. Condé,C. Crochemore,Barbara A. Demeneix,Dieter Fischer,Ahmed Hassan,M. Meyer,Florian Holsboer,Theologos M. Michaelidis +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that GR activation increases and MR activation decreases levels of the tumor suppressor protein p53 (a direct transcriptional regulator of bax and bcl‐2 genes), thus providing new information on the early genetic events linking corticosteroid receptors with apoptosis in the nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in ethanol preference and ingestion in rats. The role of the gonadal steroid environment.
Osborne F. X. Almeida,M. Shoaib,J. Deicke,Dieter Fischer,Madeha H.A. Darwish,Vladimir K. Patchev +5 more
TL;DR: Dhydrotestosterone and E2 appear to exert modulatory influences on the male and female rats' preference for ethanol, but further investigations are necessary to determine to what extent these effects result from activational actions on the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of p53 activity and inhibition of neural cell proliferation by glucocorticoid receptor activation
C. Crochemore,Theologos M. Michaelidis,Dieter Fischer,Jean-Philippe Loeffler,Osborne F. X. Almeida +4 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that glucocorticoid receptor‐induced neural cell cycle arrest is associated with an increase in nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity of p53, and it is suggested that potentiation of p 53 may serve as a brake on cell proliferation and may prime cells for differentiation or death induced by other signals.
