Running-induced epigenetic and gene expression changes in the adolescent brain

International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience, 31(6), 382–390.

By: J. Abel* & E. Rissman*

author keywords: Epigenetic; Exercise; Puberty; Adolescent; Cerebellum; BDNF
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Newborn; Brain / physiology; Epigenesis, Genetic / physiology; Epigenomics; Gene Expression / physiology; Histones; Mice; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Nerve Tissue Proteins / metabolism; Neuronal Plasticity / physiology; Physical Conditioning, Animal; Signal Transduction / physiology
TL;DR: After 1 week of exercise, global acetylation of histone 3 was increased in both brain regions, Interestingly this was correlated with increased brain derived neural growth factor in the hippocampus, as noted in many other studies, but only a trend was found in cerebellum.

Resetting for the Next Generation

Molecular Cell, 48(6), 819–821.

TL;DR: In this issue of Molecular Cell, Seisenberger et al. (2012) refine DNA methylation mapping to interrogate the epigenetic reprogramming of primordial germ cells, defining the timings of methylation loss, linking to pluripotency, and identifying potential routes to transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.
