Activation of NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells)-mediated hypertrophic signaling is a major regulatory response to hypertrophic stimuli. A recent study unveiled potential regulatory roles for microRNA-133a (miR-133a) in cardiac hypertrophy. To date, however, no connection has been made between miR-133a and NFAT signaling. In this study, we determined that NFATc4, a hypertrophy-associate...
During cortical development, when NR2B subunit is the major component of the NMDA glutamate receptors (NMDARs), moderate NMDAR activity supports neuronal survival at least in part by regulating gene transcription. We report that, in cultured cortical neurons from newborn rats, the NMDARs activated the calcium-responsive transcription regulator nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). Moreove...
The Ca(2+)/calcineurin-dependent transcription factor NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T-cells) is implicated in regulating dendritic and axonal development, synaptogenesis, and neuronal survival. Despite the increasing appreciation for the importance of NFAT-dependent transcription in the nervous system, the regulation and function of specific NFAT isoforms in neurons are poorly understood. H...
New neurons generated in the adult dentate gyrus are constantly integrated into the hippocampal circuitry and activated during encoding and recall of new memories. Despite identification of extracellular signals that regulate survival and integration of adult-born neurons such as neurotrophins and neurotransmitters, the nature of the intracellular modulators required to transduce those signals ...
Activation of the nuclear factor of activated T-cell (NFAT) family of transcription factors is associated with changes in gene expression and myocyte function in adult cardiac and skeletal muscle. However, the role of NFATs in normal embryonic heart development is not well characterized. In this report, the function of NFATc3 and NFATc4 in embryonic heart development was examined in mice with t...
The nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFAT) proteins are a family of transcription factors (NFATc1-c4) involved in the regulation of cell differentiation and adaptation. Previously we demonstrated that inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase or overexpression of PTEN enhanced intestinal cell differentiation. Here we show that treatment of intestinal-derived cells with the differentiating ...
Neural stem cells (NSCs) reside in a hypoxic microenvironment within the brain. However, the crucial transcription factors (TFs) that regulate NSC biology under physiologic hypoxia are poorly understood. Here we have performed gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of microarray datasets from hypoxic versus normoxic NSCs with the aim of identifying pathways and TFs that are activated under oxygen ...
Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and the ensuing oxidative stress contribute to Alzheimer's disease pathology. We reported previously that amyloid-β peptide oligomers (AβOs) produce aberrant Ca(2+) signals at sublethal concentrations and decrease the expression of type-2 ryanodine receptors (RyR2), which are crucial for hippocampal synaptic plasticity and memory. Here, we inve...
An inverse correlation between the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-18 and the anti-atherogenic adipokine adiponectin has been reported in the chronic pathological conditions obesity, insulin resistance, coronary artery disease, and metabolic syndrome. We investigated whether this relationship is coincidental or has a causal basis. Here we show that interleukin-18 (IL-18) suppresses adipon...
Modulation of GABAA receptor signaling increases neurogenesis and suppresses anxiety through NFATc4.
Correlative evidence suggests that GABAergic signaling plays an important role in the regulation of activity-dependent hippocampal neurogenesis and emotional behavior in adult mice. However, whether these are causally linked at the molecular level remains elusive. Nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFAT) proteins are activity-dependent transcription factors that respond to environmental stimul...
