    Abstract We report a case of anesthesia for elective outpatient third molar extraction in a juvenile with Leigh disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder related to respiratory chain deficiency. This syndrome usually presents in infancy and is characterized by nervous system dysfunction and respiratory abnormalities. Anesthesia has been reported to aggravate respiratory symptoms and frequently precipitate respiratory failure. Preoperative swallowing difficulty or respiratory symptoms should be carefully diagnosed, because they can be a warning sign of postoperative complications or mortality. Adverse effects of anesthesia may quickly lead into metabolic acidosis. Anesthetics should be carefully chosen that do not interfere with mitochondrial respiration, which can lead to lactic acidosis.

    Abstract The polycomb group (PcG) proteins are a subset of transcription regulators highly conserved throughout evolution. Their principal role is to epigenetically modify chromatin landscapes and control the expression of master transcriptional programs to determine cellular identity. The two mayor PcG protein complexes that have been identified in mammals to date are Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) and 2 (PRC2). These protein complexes selectively repress gene expression via the induction of covalent post-translational histone modifications, promoting chromatin structure stabilization. PRC2 catalyzes the histone H3 methylation at lysine 27 (H3K27me1/2/3), inducing heterochromatin structures. This activity is controlled by the formation of a multi-subunit complex, which includes enhancer of zeste (EZH2), embryonic ectoderm development protein (EED), and suppressor of zeste 12 (SUZ12). This review will summarize the latest insights into how PRC2 in mammalian cells regulates transcription to orchestrate the temporal and tissue-specific expression of genes to determine cell identity and cell-fate decisions. We will specifically describe how PRC2 dysregulation in different cell types can promote phenotypic plasticity and/or non-mutational epigenetic reprogramming, inducing the development of highly aggressive epithelial neuroendocrine carcinomas, including prostate, small cell lung, and Merkel cell cancer. With this, EZH2 has emerged as an important actionable therapeutic target in such cancers.

    Abstract Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) that antagonizes androgen receptor (AR) signaling has made significant increases to overall survival of prostate cancer patients. However, ADT is not curative, and patients eventually progress to castration resistant disease (CRPC). It has become evident that a subset of prostate cancers acquire ADT resistance through mechanisms independent of AR alteration or reprogramming of AR signaling. This approximately involves a quarter of prostate cancers progressing on ADT. Collectively, these tumors evolve via phenotypic plasticity and display the activation of developmental and stemness gene signatures as well as transitional programs including an epithelial-mesenchymal phenotype. Currently, no successful treatments exist for prostate cancer patients to inhibit or reverse prostate tumor progression that utilizes mechanisms of epi-plasticity. This overview will discuss epigenetic mechanisms that mediate phenotypic plasticity and the potential for targeting the epigenome to create a novel direction for combination strategies involving epigenetic therapy to provide durable response.

    Abstract Phenotypic plasticity is a recognized mechanism driving therapeutic resistance in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. While underlying molecular causations driving phenotypic plasticity have been identified, therapeutic success is yet to be achieved. To identify putative master regulator transcription factors (MR-TF) driving phenotypic plasticity in PCa, this work utilized a multiomic approach using genetically engineered mouse models of prostate cancer combined with patient data to identify MYBL2 as a significantly enriched transcription factor in PCa exhibiting phenotypic plasticity. Genetic inhibition of
    Significance: PCa that escapes therapy targeting the androgen receptor signaling pathways via phenotypic plasticity are currently untreatable. Our study identifies MYBL2 as a MR-TF in phenotypic plastic PCa and implicates CDK2 inhibition as novel therapeutic target for this most lethal subtype of PCa.

    Abstract Prostate cancer initiation, development and progression is driven by androgen receptor (AR) signaling. Androgen deprivation therapy is the primary treatment for patients that present with locally advanced or metastatic disease. However, androgen deprivation therapy is not curative, and patients will progress to castrate-resistant disease (CRPC). Although most patient's progress to CRPC via restoration of AR signaling (CRPC-Ad), approximately a quarter of patients will progress via mechanisms independent of AR signaling. This highly lethal phenotype is termed aggressive variant prostate cancer (AVPC). Data from clinical and preclinical studies demonstrate that AVPC involves combinatorial loss-of-function mutations in key tumor suppressor genes, low to absent AR levels, and re-expression of reprogramming, stem, and neuroendocrine related gene signatures. Further, AVPC is shown to evolve from a CRPC-Ad phenotype. Overall, lineage plasticity underlying progression to AVPC is thought to be provoked by genome-wide chromatin remodeling. Here, we will discuss an emerging focus on key drivers of chromatin remodeling in AVPC, and how their identification could provide noninvasive biomarkers to predict or detect AVPC emergence, and therapeutic targets to prevent or reverse progression to AVPC.
