Abstract
A gain-of-function mutation of the chondrocyte-specific microRNA, miR-140-5p, encoded by the MIR140 gene, causes spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, Nishimura type (SEDN, also known as SED, MIR140 type; MIM, 611894). We reported that a mouse model for SEDN showed a unique growth plate phenotype that is characterized by an expansion of the resting zone of the growth plate and an increase in resting chondrocytes, of which the mechanism of regulation is poorly understood. We found that the miR-140 mutant chondrocytes showed a significant reduction of Hif1a, the master transcription factor that regulates energy metabolism in response to hypoxia. Based on this finding, we hypothesized that energy metabolism plays a regulatory role in resting chondrocyte proliferation and growth plate development. In this study, we show that suppression of glycolysis via LDH ablation causes an expansion of the resting zone and skeletal developmental defects. We have also found that reduced glycolysis results in reduced histone acetylation in the miR-140 mutant as well as LDH-deficient chondrocytes likely due to the reduction in acetyl-CoA generated from mitochondria-derived citrate. Reduction in acetyl-CoA conversion from citrate by deleting Acly caused an expansion of the resting zone and a similar gross phenotype to LDH-deficient bones without inducing energy deficiency, suggesting that the reduced acetyl-CoA, but not the ATP synthesis deficit, is responsible for the increase in resting zone chondrocytes. Comparison of the transcriptome between LDH-deficient and Acly-deficient chondrocytes also showed overlapping changes including upregulation in Fgfr3. We also confirmed that overexpression of an activation mutation of Ffgr3 causes an expansion of resting zone chondrocytes. These data demonstrate the association between reduced glycolysis and an expansion of the resting zone and suggest that it is caused by acetyl-CoA deficiency, but not energy deficiency, possibly through epigenetic upregulation of FGFR3 signaling.

Abstract
In order to support bone marrow regeneration after myeloablation, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) actively divide to provide both stem and progenitor cells. However, the mechanisms regulating HSC function and cell fate choice during hematopoietic recovery remain unclear. We herein provide novel insights into HSC regulation during regeneration by focusing on mitochondrial metabolism and ATP citrate lyase (ACLY). After 5-fluorouracil-induced myeloablation, HSCs highly expressing endothelial protein C receptor (EPCRhigh ) were enriched within the stem cell fraction at the expense of more proliferative EPCRLow HSCs. These EPCRHigh HSCs were initially more primitive than EPCRLow HSCs and enabled stem cell expansion by enhancing histone acetylation, due to increased activity of ACLY in the early phase of hematopoietic regeneration. In the late phase of recovery, HSCs enhanced differentiation potential by increasing the accessibility of cis-regulatory elements in progenitor cell-related genes, such as CD48. In conditions of reduced mitochondrial metabolism and ACLY activity, these HSCs maintained stem cell phenotypes, while ACLY-dependent histone acetylation promoted differentiation into CD48+ progenitor cells. Collectively, these results indicate that the dynamic control of ACLY-dependent metabolism and epigenetic alterations is essential for HSC regulation during hematopoietic regeneration.

Abstract
CD8+ T cells, a fundamental part of the adaptive immune system, employ cytotoxic responses important for targeting pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and tumor cells. During early activation, CD8+ T cells undergo many changes in metabolism and gene expression. The bridge between epigenetic and metabolic influences on gene expression and cell fate has yet to be fully understood. Here, we investigated the importance of ATP citrate lyase (Acly), an enzyme involved in both metabolism and histone acetylation, for early stages of CD8+ T cell activation. We performed polyclonal activation of murine CD8+ T cells in vitro in the presence or absence of the Acly inhibitor BMS303141. We found that inhibiting Acly during early activation results in decreased expression of early activation markers. Consistent with impaired early activation, we found that inhibition also resulted in increased uptake of fatty acids and decreased glucose uptake without changing mitochondrial ATP levels. On an epigenetic and transcriptional level, early stage Acly inhibition specifically downregulated promoter histone H3 acetylation (H3ac) and expression of the key transcription factor IRF4; however, global levels of H3ac remained similar. Most importantly, the study was able to highlight the importance of Acly in early stages of CD8+ T cell activation and histone regulation.

Abstract
Vulnerability of the fetus upon maternal obesity can potentially occur during all developmental phases. We aimed at elaborating longer-term health outcomes of fetal overnutrition during the earliest stages of development. We utilized Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) mice to induce pre-conceptional and gestational obesity and followed offspring outcomes in the absence of any postnatal obesogenic influences. Male adult offspring developed overweight, insulin resistance, hyperleptinemia, hyperuricemia and hepatic steatosis; all these features were not observed in females. Instead, they showed impaired fasting glucose and a reduced fat mass and adipocyte size. Influences of the interaction of maternal diet∗sex concerned offspring genes involved in fatty liver disease, lipid droplet size regulation and fat mass expansion. These data suggest that a peri-conceptional obesogenic exposure is sufficient to shape offspring gene expression patterns and health outcomes in a sex- and organ-specific manner, indicating varying developmental vulnerabilities between sexes towards metabolic disease in response to maternal overnutrition.
