    Abstract Mutations in two antagonistic regulators of DNA methylation, DNMT3A and TET2, are associated with clonal hematopoiesis and increased risk of cardiovascular disorders. Recently, Cobo et al. traced the mechanistic bases for such links to loss of mitochondrial integrity, cytoplasmic dispersion of mitochondrial DNA, and the subsequent activation of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in macrophages.

    Abstract The association between specific transcription factors (TFs) and defined tissue-specific macrophage phenotypes is far from being univocal. Many TFs that have been associated with tissue-specific macrophages have relatively broad expression profiles suggesting the critical involvement of combinatorial regulation by multiple TFs in bringing about specific phenotypes. In the current issue of The EMBO Journal, Rauschmeier et al (2019) report the identification of the transcriptional repressors BHLHE40 and BHLHE41 as novel regulators of tissue-specific macrophage properties that work both to promote alveolar macrophage (AM) identity and to suppress alternative tissue-specific phenotypes.

    Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), one of the most highly lethal tumors, is characterized by complex histology, with a massive fibrotic stroma in which both pseudo-glandular structures and compact nests of abnormally differentiated tumor cells are embedded, in different proportions and with different mutual relationships in space. This complexity and the heterogeneity of the tumor component have hindered the development of a broadly accepted, clinically actionable classification of PDACs, either on a morphological or a molecular basis. Here, we discuss evidence suggesting that such heterogeneity can to a large extent, albeit not exclusively, be traced back to two main classes of PDAC cells that commonly coexist in the same tumor: cells that maintained their ability to differentiate toward endodermal, mucin-producing epithelia and epithelial cells unable to form glandular structures and instead characterized by various levels of squamous differentiation and the expression of mesenchymal lineage genes. The underlying gene regulatory networks and how they are controlled by distinct transcription factors, as well as the practical implications of these two different populations of tumor cells, are discussed.

    Abstract Macrophages react to microbial and endogenous danger signals by activating a broad panel of effector and homeostatic responses. Such responses entail rapid and stimulus-specific changes in gene expression programs accompanied by extensive rewiring of metabolism, with alterations in chromatin modifications providing one layer of integration of transcriptional and metabolic regulation. A systematic and mechanistic understanding of the mutual influences between signal-induced metabolic changes and gene expression is still lacking. Here, we discuss current evidence, controversies, knowledge gaps, and future areas of investigation on how metabolic and transcriptional changes are dynamically integrated during macrophage activation. The cross-talk between metabolism and inflammatory gene expression is in part accounted for by alterations in the production, usage, and availability of metabolic intermediates that impact the macrophage epigenome. In addition, stimulus-inducible gene expression changes alter the production of inflammatory mediators, such as nitric oxide, that in turn modulate the activity of metabolic enzymes thus determining complex regulatory loops. Critical issues remain to be understood, notably whether and how metabolic rewiring can bring about gene-specific (as opposed to global) expression changes.

    Abstract Adaptation is the ability of cells, tissues and organisms to rapidly and reversibly modify their properties to maximize fitness in a changing environment. The activity of immune-system components unfolds in the remarkably heterogeneous milieus to which they are exposed in different tissues, during homeostasis or during various acute or chronic pathological states. Therefore, adaptation is essential for immune cells to tune their responses to a large variety of contexts and conditions. The adaptation of immune cells reflects the integration of multiple inputs acting simultaneously or in a temporal sequence, which eventually leads to transcriptional reprogramming and to various functional consequences, some of which extend beyond the duration of the stimulus. A range of adaptive responses have been observed in both adaptive immune cells and innate immune cells; these are referred to with terms such as 'plasticity', 'priming', 'training', 'exhaustion' and 'tolerance', among others, all of which can be useful for defining a certain immunological process or outcome but whose underlying molecular frameworks are often incompletely understood. Here we review and analyze mechanisms of adaptation and memory in immunity with the aim of providing basic concepts that rationalize the properties and molecular bases of these essential processes.

    Abstract Release of nuclear factor κΒ (NF-κB) dimers from the inhibitors of NF-κΒ (IκBs) and their subsequent nuclear translocation are only the initial events leading to the induction of NF-κB-regulated genes. Once in the nucleus, NF-κB dimers must gain access to their cognate sites in target genes. While some sites are found in a constitutively accessible state, many others are associated with nucleosomal histones in a manner that prevents NF-κB binding. Binding to such sites requires specific chromatin remodeling events driven by functionally cooperating transcription factors. Ten years of research on the complex interplay between chromatin and NF-κB led to some major successes, most notably the identification of the specific sequence features or trans-acting factors controlling the state of accessibility of κB sites, as well as the dissection of the mechanisms and players involved in the opening of occluded sites. Moreover, attempts at identifying mechanism-based compounds that inhibit the activation of selected subsets of NF-κB-dependent genes acting on chromatin-regulated transitions are starting to give initial promising results in preclinical tests.
