Received: 24 May 2019; Accepted: 24 June 2019; Published: 27 June 2019 Abstract: Epigenetics refers to the heritable changes in gene expression without a change in the DNA sequence itself. Two of these major changes include aberrant DNA methylation as well as changes to histone modification patterns. Alterations to the epigenome can drive expression of oncogenes and suppression of tumor suppressors, resulting in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. In addition to modifications of the epigenome, microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation is also a hallmark for cancer initiation and metastasis. Advances in our understanding of cancer biology demonstrate that alterations in the epigenome are not only a major cause of miRNA dysregulation in cancer, but that miRNAs themselves also indirectly drive these DNA and histone modifications. More explicitly, recent work has shown that miRNAs can regulate chromatin structure and gene expression by directly targeting key enzymes involved in these processes. This review aims to summarize these research findings specifically in the context of breast cancer. This review also discusses miRNAs as epigenetic biomarkers and as therapeutics, and presents a comprehensive summary of currently validated epigenetic targets in breast cancer. Keywords: non-coding RNAs; microRNAs; epigenetics; breast cancer 1. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and MicroRNAs (miRNAs) The discovery that the majority of the human genome is not transcribed into protein [1], expanded our initial definition of a gene to include non-coding RNAs. Unlike the traditional definition of a gene, a DNA sequence that is transcribed into RNA then translated to produce a functional protein product, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are functional RNA molecules that are not translated into protein. While the function of many of the ncRNAs in the genome is not yet determined, ncRNAs can generally be separated into two different groups: infrastructural and regulatory. Infrastructural ncRNAs are constitutively expressed and function within many cell homeostatic processes, such as splicing and translation, and include species such as transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), small nuclear RNA (snRNA), and small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA). On the other hand, regulatory ncRNAs elicit effects on other RNA molecules, and can be further classified based upon their size into short (<200 nt), which includes microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), and long (lncRNA, >200 nt) ncRNAs. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a large family of ~21–22 nucleotide RNAs that negatively regulate protein-coding gene expression post-transcriptionally in both metazoans and plants [2]. Canonically, miRNAs are transcribed in the nucleus by RNA polymerase II [3] or III [4] into primary miRNA (pri-miRNA), which range from hundreds to thousands of nucleotides long.

  • ONCOPANEL (Popv3)
    ONCOPANEL (POPv3) TEST INFORMATION BACKGROUND: Somatic genetic alterations in oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes contribute to the pathogenesis and evolution of human cancers. These alterations can provide prognostic and predictive information and stratify cancers for targeted therapeutic information. We classify these alterations into five tiers using the following guidelines: Tier 1: The alteration has well-established published evidence confirming clinical utility in this tumor type, in at least one of the following contexts: predicting response to treatment with an FDA-approved therapy; assessing prognosis; establishing a definitive diagnosis; or conferring an inherited increased risk of cancer to this patient and family. Tier 2: The alteration may have clinical utility in at least one of the following contexts: selection of an investigational therapy in clinical trials for this cancer type; limited evidence of prognostic association; supportive of a specific diagnosis; proven association of response to treatment with an FDA-approved therapy in a different type of cancer; or similar to a different mutation with a proven association with response to treatment with an FDA-approved therapyin this type of cancer. Tier 3: The alteration is of uncertain clinical utility, but may have a role as suggested by at least one of the following: demonstration of association with response to treatment in this cancer type in preclinical studies (e.g., in vitro studies or animal models); alteration in a biochemical pathway that has other known, therapeutically-targetable alterations; alteration in a highly conserved region of the protein predicted, in silico, to alter protein function; or selection of an investigational therapy for a different cancer type.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. In the past 20 years, much progress has been made on the genetic analysis of osteoporosis. A number of genes and SNPs associated with osteoporosis have been found through GWAS method. In this paper, we intend to identify the suspected risky SNPs of osteoporosis with computational methods based on the known osteoporosis GWAS-associated SNPs. The process includes two steps. Firstly, we decided whether the genes associated with the suspected risky SNPs are associated with osteoporosis by using random walk algorithm on the PPI network of osteoporosis GWAS-associated genes and the genes associated with the suspected risky SNPs. In order to solve the overfitting problem in ID3 decision tree algorithm, we then classified the SNPs with positive results based on their features of position and function through a simplified classification decision tree which was constructed by ID3 decision tree algorithm with PEP (Pessimistic-Error Pruning).

  • Epigenetic Mechanisms Are Involved in the Oncogenic Properties of ZNF518B in Colorectal Cancer
    Epigenetic mechanisms are involved in the oncogenic properties of ZNF518B in colorectal cancer Francisco Gimeno-Valiente, Ángela L. Riffo-Campos, Luis Torres, Noelia Tarazona, Valentina Gambardella, Andrés Cervantes, Gerardo López-Rodas, Luis Franco and Josefa Castillo SUPPLEMENTARY METHODS 1. Selection of genomic sequences for ChIP analysis To select the sequences for ChIP analysis in the five putative target genes, namely, PADI3, ZDHHC2, RGS4, EFNA5 and KAT2B, the genomic region corresponding to the gene was downloaded from Ensembl. Then, zoom was applied to see in detail the promoter, enhancers and regulatory sequences. The details for HCT116 cells were then recovered and the target sequences for factor binding examined. Obviously, there are not data for ZNF518B, but special attention was paid to the target sequences of other zinc-finger containing factors. Finally, the regions that may putatively bind ZNF518B were selected and primers defining amplicons spanning such sequences were searched out. Supplementary Figure S3 gives the location of the amplicons used in each gene. 2. Obtaining the raw data and generating the BAM files for in silico analysis of the effects of EHMT2 and EZH2 silencing The data of siEZH2 (SRR6384524), siG9a (SRR6384526) and siNon-target (SRR6384521) in HCT116 cell line, were downloaded from SRA (Bioproject PRJNA422822, https://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/), using SRA-tolkit (https://ncbi.github.io/sra-tools/).

Received: 2 October 2018; Accepted: 7 November 2018; Published: 12 November 2018 Abstract: Cranial neural crest cells undergo cellular growth, patterning, and differentiation within the branchial arches to form cartilage and bone, resulting in a precise pattern of skeletal elements forming the craniofacial skeleton. However, it is unclear how cranial neural crest cells are regulated to give rise to the different shapes and sizes of the bone and cartilage. Epigenetic regulators are good candidates to be involved in this regulation, since they can exert both broad as well as precise control on pattern formation. Here, we investigated the role of the histone acetyltransferases Kat2a and Kat2b in craniofacial development using TALEN/CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis in zebrafish and the Kat2ahat/hat (also called Gcn5) allele in mice.

  • Identification of Shared and Unique Gene Families Associated with Oral
    International Journal of Oral Science (2017) 9, 104–109 OPEN www.nature.com/ijos ORIGINAL ARTICLE Identification of shared and unique gene families associated with oral clefts Noriko Funato and Masataka Nakamura Oral clefts, the most frequent congenital birth defects in humans, are multifactorial disorders caused by genetic and environmental factors. Epidemiological studies point to different etiologies underlying the oral cleft phenotypes, cleft lip (CL), CL and/or palate (CL/P) and cleft palate (CP). More than 350 genes have syndromic and/or nonsyndromic oral cleft associations in humans. Although genes related to genetic disorders associated with oral cleft phenotypes are known, a gap between detecting these associations and interpretation of their biological importance has remained. Here, using a gene ontology analysis approach, we grouped these candidate genes on the basis of different functional categories to gain insight into the genetic etiology of oral clefts. We identified different genetic profiles and found correlations between the functions of gene products and oral cleft phenotypes. Our results indicate inherent differences in the genetic etiologies that underlie oral cleft phenotypes and support epidemiological evidence that genes associated with CL/P are both developmentally and genetically different from CP only, incomplete CP, and submucous CP. The epidemiological differences among cleft phenotypes may reflect differences in the underlying genetic causes. Understanding the different causative etiologies of oral clefts is

  • Mir-22/KAT6B Axis Is a Chemotherapeutic Determiner Via
    Gu et al. Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research (2018) 37:164 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13046-018-0834-z RESEARCH Open Access miR-22/KAT6B axis is a chemotherapeutic determiner via regulation of PI3k-Akt-NF-kB pathway in tongue squamous cell carcinoma Yixue Gu1,2†, Hao Liu1,2†, Fangren Kong1, Jiahui Ye1, Xiaoting Jia1,2, Zhijie Zhang1,2, Nan Li1, Jiang Yin1,2, Guopei Zheng1,2* and Zhimin He1,2* Abstract Background: Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is the most common oral cancer. Neoadjuvant systemic treatment before or after surgery for advanced TSCC is considered one of the most crucial factors in reducing mortality. However, the therapeutic benefits of chemotherapy are usually attenuated due to intrinsic and/or acquired drug resistance, and a large proportion of TSCC are resistant to chemotherapy, which may result in more aggressive tumor behavior and an even worse clinical outcome. Recently, the potential application of using miRNAs to predict therapeutic response to cancer treatment holds high promise, but miRNAs with predictive value remain to be identified and underlying mechanisms remain to be understood in TSCC. Methods: The expression of miR-22 in tissues from patients diagnosed with TSCC was analyzed using real-time PCR. The effects of miR-22 on cell proliferation and tumorigenesis in TSCC cells were analyzed by MTS assay, and flow cytometry. The tumor growth in vivo was observed in xenograft model. Luciferase reporter assay, real-time PCR and western blot were performed to validate a potential target of miR-22 in TC. The correlation between miR-22 expression and KAT6B expression, as well as the mechanisms by which miR-22 regulates PI3k-Akt-NF-kB pathway in TSCC were also addressed.

Primary CH is the most common neonatal endocrine disorder, traditionally subdivided into thyroid dysgenesis (TD), referring to a spectrum of thyroid developmental abnormalities, and dyshormonogenesis, where a defective molecular pathway for thyroid hormonogenesis results in failure of hormone production by a structurally intact gland. Delayed treatment of neonatal hypothyroidism may result in profound neurodevelopmental delay; therefore, CH is screened for in developed countries to facilitate prompt diagnosis. Central congenital hypothyroidism (CCH) is a rarer entity which may occur in isolation, or (more frequently) in association with additional pituitary hormone deficits. CCH is most commonly defined biochemically by failure of appropriate TSH elevation despite subnormal thyroid hormone levels and will therefore evade diagnosis in primary, TSH-based CH-screening programmes. This review will discuss recent genetic aetiological advances in CH and summarize epidemiological data and clinical diagnostic challenges, focussing on primary CH and isolated CCH.
