Conclusion: Chromatin composition integrates with metabolic regulation at the NAD⁺ interface. Loss of macroH2A1.1 decouples chromatin–mitochondrial crosstalk, shifting nutrient flux toward glycolysis and instigating secondary organ dysfunction.

A ketogenic diet, enforcing lipid oxidation and lowering NAD⁺ demand, normalized RER, glucose tolerance, and liver gene profiles, completely preventing kidney abnormalities. Thus, diet overrode the metabolic phenotype associated with macroH2A1.1 loss.

This was secondary to a systemic shift in metabolism. Respiratory exchange measurements (RER) indicated reduced oxidation of lipids and increased glucose utilization — consistent with a Warburg-like shift. This was accompanied by alterations in NAD+ metabolism.

Mice lacking macroH2A1.1—but not macroH2A1.2 or macroH2A2—developed inflammatory lesions and hyaline casts in kidneys of both sexes, independent of local transcriptomic changes, implicating systemic rather than renal-intrinsic dysfunction.

This is the product of team effort coordinated by René Winkler. A decade of collaboration between our group and the team of Raffaele Teperino @epitep.bsky.social and the German Mouse Clinic led by Martin Hrabě de Angelis @helmholtzmunich.bsky.social.

NEW PAPER

Out in Science Advances: We have dissected the physiological role of all macroH2A histone variants. In mice, loss of macroH2A1.1 specifically results in profound metabolic reprogramming and kidney pathology.

Adios and salut to a pioneer!

Sir John Gurdon studied the requirements and barriers of #reprogramming.

Highly relevant for us, with his PhD student Vincent Pasque he showed that macroH2A is part of the epigenetic barrier inhibiting reprogramming.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
Sad to hear about the passing of John Gurdon, a titan and pioneer of developmental biology and much more. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology, shared with Shinya Yamanaka, who actually was inspired by his work

Great weather at daytime and northern lights at night time illuminate the scientific kick-off of the #HubMOL #MSCA doctoral network. On Someroy, a small island at the Artic Coast of Norway, we learn about the dual role of molecules such as NAD and SAM in signalling and metabolism.

MEET THE LAB!

During the next 3 days, I am in northern Norway at the kick-off workshop of the HubMOL consortium. This MSCA doctoral network coordinated by Ines Heiland, University of Tromsø, aims to gain a better understanding of the dual role of NAD, CoA and co. in metabolism and signalling.
