Abstract
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are an attractive model to study the relationship between signaling and cell fates. Cultured mouse ESCs can exist in multiple states resembling distinct stages of early embryogenesis, such as totipotent, pluripotent, primed, and primitive endoderm. The signaling mechanisms regulating the totipotent state and coexistence of these states are poorly understood. Here we identify bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling as an inducer of the totipotent state. However, we discover that BMP's role is constrained by the cross-activation of FGF, NODAL, and WNT pathways. We exploit this finding to enhance the proportion of totipotent cells by rationally inhibiting the cross-activated pathways. Single-cell mRNA sequencing reveals that induction of the totipotent state is accompanied by suppression of primed and primitive endoderm states. Furthermore, reprogrammed totipotent cells we generate in culture resemble totipotent cells of preimplantation embryo. Our findings reveal a BMP signaling mechanism regulating both the totipotent state and heterogeneity of ESCs.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The slow evolution of precancerous lesions to malignant tumors provides a broad time frame for preventing PCa. To characterize prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) progression, we conducted longitudinal studies on Pten(i)pe-/- mice that recapitulate prostate carcinogenesis in humans. We found that early PINs are hypoxic and that hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1A) signaling is activated in luminal cells, thus enhancing malignant progression. Luminal HIF1A dampens immune surveillance and drives luminal plasticity, leading to the emergence of cells that overexpress Transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) and have impaired androgen signaling. Elevated TGM2 levels in patients with PCa are associated with shortened progression-free survival after prostatectomy. Last, we show that pharmacologically inhibiting HIF1A impairs cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in PINs. Therefore, our study demonstrates that HIF1A is a target for PCa prevention and that TGM2 is a promising prognostic biomarker of early relapse after prostatectomy.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is a dynamic tissue the size of which can be remodeled through the concerted actions of various cues. Here, we investigated the skeletal muscle transcriptional program and identified key tissue-specific regulatory genetic elements. Our results show that Myod1 is bound to numerous skeletal muscle enhancers in collaboration with the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) to control gene expression. Remarkably, transcriptional activation controlled by these factors occurs through direct contacts with the promoter region of target genes, via the CpG-bound transcription factor Nrf1, and the formation of Ctcf-anchored chromatin loops, in a myofiber-specific manner. Moreover, we demonstrate that GR negatively controls muscle mass and strength in mice by down-regulating anabolic pathways. Taken together, our data establish Myod1, GR and Nrf1 as key players of muscle-specific enhancer-promoter communication that orchestrate myofiber size regulation.

Abstract
Most cancers arise in old individuals, which also accumulate senescent cells. Cellular senescence can be experimentally induced by expression of oncogenes or telomere shortening during serial passage in culture. In vivo, precursor lesions of several cancer types accumulate senescent cells, which are thought to represent a barrier to malignant progression and a response to the aberrant activation of growth signaling pathways by oncogenes (oncogene toxicity). Here, we sought to define gene expression changes associated with cells that bypass senescence induced by oncogenic RAS. In the context of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), oncogenic KRAS induces benign pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanINs), which exhibit features of oncogene‐induced senescence. We found that the bypass of senescence in PanINs leads to malignant PDAC cells characterized by gene signatures of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition, stem cells, and mitochondria. Stem cell properties were similarly acquired in PanIN cells treated with LPS, and in primary fibroblasts and mammary epithelial cells that bypassed Ras‐induced senescence after reduction of ERK signaling. Intriguingly, maintenance of cells that circumvented senescence and acquired stem cell properties was blocked by metformin, an inhibitor of complex I of the electron transport chain or depletion of STAT3, a protein required for mitochondrial functions and stemness. Thus, our studies link bypass of senescence in premalignant lesions to loss of differentiation, acquisition of stemness features, and increased reliance on mitochondrial functions.

Abstract
There is increasing interest in therapeutically exploiting metabolic differences between normal and cancer cells. We show that kinase inhibitors (KIs) and biguanides synergistically and selectively target a variety of cancer cells. Synthesis of non-essential amino acids (NEAAs) aspartate, asparagine, and serine, as well as glutamine metabolism, are major determinants of the efficacy of KI/biguanide combinations. The mTORC1/4E-BP axis regulates aspartate, asparagine, and serine synthesis by modulating mRNA translation, while ablation of 4E-BP1/2 substantially decreases sensitivity of breast cancer and melanoma cells to KI/biguanide combinations. Efficacy of the KI/biguanide combinations is also determined by HIF-1α-dependent perturbations in glutamine metabolism, which were observed in VHL-deficient renal cancer cells. This suggests that cancer cells display metabolic plasticity by engaging non-redundant adaptive mechanisms, which allows them to survive therapeutic insults that target cancer metabolism.

Abstract
We report that Pten (phosphatase and tensin homologue) ablation in prostatic epithelial cells of adult mice promotes cell proliferation to generate prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia. Moreover, our results demonstrate that proliferating Pten-deficient cells undergo replication stress and exhibit a DNA damage response, leading to cell senescence, as seen in oncogene-induced senescence.

Abstract
Abstract
The use of the anti-diabetic drug metformin has been correlated with a reduced cancer incidence, suggesting an unexpected anti-neoplastic activity for this compound. Since metformin treatment is safe and economical, there is considerable interest in exploring its anticancer activity in patients. Pancreatic cancer (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: PDAC) is one of the most aggressive neoplastic diseases, for which there is no treatment significantly increasing patient's survival. Metformin use was associated with reduced pancreatic cancer incidence or better survival in diabetics. In vitro, metformin decreases cell survival and growth of pancreatic cancer cells and appears to target tumor-initiating cells. In vivo, metformin decreases growth of human pancreatic cancer cell lines xenografts in mice. However, clinical trials using metformin failed to decrease pancreatic cancer progression in patients, raising important questions about molecular mechanisms that protect tumor cells from the antineoplastic activities of metformin. We discovered a new mechanism of resistance to the anti-oncogenic properties of metformin in PDAC cells through up-regulation of NAMPT and increase of NAD+ synthesis. Using an inhibitor specific to NAMPT, FK866, we sensitized PDAC cells to the effects of metformin in vitro. In vivo, FK866 increased the efficiency of metformin treatment on KP4 cells xenografts. As both metformin and FK866 clinical trials have failed to efficiently treat cancer, the combination of these two compounds may be a promising strategy to treat pancreatic cancer and maybe other malignancies.

Abstract
Genetic ablation of the tumor suppressor PTEN in prostatic epithelial cells (PECs) induces cell senescence. However, unlike oncogene-induced senescence, no hyperproliferation phase and no signs of DNA damage response (DDR) were observed in PTEN-deficient PECs; PTEN loss-induced senescence (PICS) was reported to be a novel type of cellular senescence. Our study reveals that PTEN ablation in prostatic luminal epithelial cells of adult mice stimulates PEC proliferation, followed by a progressive growth arrest with characteristics of cell senescence. Importantly, we also show that proliferating PTEN-deficient PECs undergo replication stress and mount a DDR leading to p53 stabilization, which is however delayed by Mdm2-mediated p53 down-regulation. Thus, even though PTEN-deficiency induces cellular senescence that restrains tumor progression, as it involves replication stress, strategies promoting PTEN loss-induced senescence are at risk for cancer prevention and therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We assessed post-marketing safety of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2-Is) by analyzing adverse events (AEs) reported in international pharmacovigilance databases. METHODS AND RESULTS Eudravigilance, WHO-Vigibase (as of Feb 25, 2017) and the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS, from 2004 to 2016 second quarter) were queried to extract AEs recording SGLT2-Is as suspect. Disproportionality analyses (case/non-case method) were performed in FAERS by calculating the reporting odds ratios (RORs) from System Organ Classes (SOCs) to Preferred Terms (PTs) (precise clinical entities). Potential signals were defined by statistically-significant ROR (lower limit of the 95% confidence interval - LL95%CI - >1) undetected by literature analysis (as of December 2016). SGLT2-Is were recorded in 7972, 19,775, 11,137 reports (Eudravigilance, WHO-Vigibase and FAERS, respectively); in FAERS, statistically significant ROR emerged for the following SOCs: "infections and infestations" (N = 2162; LL95%CI = 3.25), "metabolism and nutrition disorders" (2278; 1.36), "renal and urinary disorders" (1665; 2.31), "reproductive system and breast disorders" (471; 4.85), "skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders" (1136; 1.52). Skin toxicity emerged as potential signal (e.g., rash, photosensitivity, urticaria as PTs), both for SGLT2-Is as a class and as individual drugs. Severe adverse skin events (81 reports, 7% of the skin cases) mainly occurred in females aged 18-65 using SGLT2-Is as single antidiabetic regimen. CONCLUSION Among antidiabetics, SGLT2-Is are associated with higher reporting of infections, metabolism, renal and reproductive AEs, corroborating clinical trial evidence. Their large reporting patterns and the unexpected signal of skin toxicity justify active vigilance by clinicians and "real-time" monitoring by pharmacovigilance experts.

Abstract
Retinoids play important roles in cell differentiation and apoptosis, notably in epithelial tissues. Their utility in cancer therapy has been demonstrated in specific cancer types. Use of retinoic acid (RA) in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia was the first successful example of retinoid-based differentiation therapy. RA has since been evaluated for treatment of other cancers, revealing variable effectiveness. The observation that expression of enzymes involved in RA biosynthesis is suppressed during tumorigenesis suggests that intra-tumor depletion in RA levels may contribute to tumor development and argues for the use of retinoids in cancer treatment. However, the induction of RA-inactivating enzymes is one of the mechanisms that may limit the efficacy of retinoid therapy and contribute to acquired resistance to RA treatment, suggesting that retinoic acid metabolism blocking agents may be effective agents in differentiation therapy.

Abstract
Retinal dehydrogenase type 1 (RALDH1) catalyzes the oxidation of all-trans and 9-cis retinal to the respective retinoic acids (RAs), whereas another member of the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) family, the phenobarbital-induced aldehyde dehydrogenase (PB-ALDH), is very poorly active. We have previously generated chimeras between these 2 enzymes that displayed selectivity for retinal isomers in crude bacterial extracts. Here we have characterized the kinetic properties of the corresponding purified recombinant proteins. The all-trans selective chimera RALDH-131 converted all-trans retinal to all-trans RA with 2.9-fold lower efficiency than the wild-type RALDH1 and had only residual activity with 9-cis retinal. The converse chimera PB-131 was specific for 9-cis retinal, with no residual activity for all-trans retinal. MgCl2 inhibited the activities of RALDH1 and PB-131, but not of RALDH-131, suggesting that amino acids 132-510 in RALDH are necessary for inhibition by MgCl2. These data demonstrate that the chimeric enzymes act as retinal isomer-selective ALDHs, and suggest that these enzymes may be useful to study the roles of cis RA isomers in embryogenesis and differentiation in vivo.
