  • Chromatin Accessibility and the Regulatory Epigenome
    REVIEWS EPIGENETICS Chromatin accessibility and the regulatory epigenome Sandy L. Klemm1,4, Zohar Shipony1,4 and William J. Greenleaf1,2,3* Abstract | Physical access to DNA is a highly dynamic property of chromatin that plays an essential role in establishing and maintaining cellular identity. The organization of accessible chromatin across the genome reflects a network of permissible physical interactions through which enhancers, promoters, insulators and chromatin-binding factors cooperatively regulate gene expression. This landscape of accessibility changes dynamically in response to both external stimuli and developmental cues, and emerging evidence suggests that homeostatic maintenance of accessibility is itself dynamically regulated through a competitive interplay between chromatin- binding factors and nucleosomes. In this Review , we examine how the accessible genome is measured and explore the role of transcription factors in initiating accessibility remodelling; our goal is to illustrate how chromatin accessibility defines regulatory elements within the genome and how these epigenetic features are dynamically established to control gene expression. Chromatin- binding factors Chromatin accessibility is the degree to which nuclear The accessible genome comprises ~2–3% of total Non- histone macromolecules macromolecules are able to physically contact chroma­ DNA sequence yet captures more than 90% of regions that bind either directly or tinized DNA and is determined by the occupancy and bound by TFs (the Encyclopedia of DNA elements indirectly to DNA. topological organization of nucleosomes as well as (ENCODE) project surveyed TFs for Tier 1 ENCODE chromatin- binding factors 13 Transcription factor other that occlude access to lines) .

Ku70 is one of the key factors of error-prone DNA repair that may end in translocation. So far, the direct correlation between Ku70 and translocation has not been assessed. Our study aimed to investigate the association of Ku70 and translocation in human lymphocytes after radiation and T-ALL. Methods: Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) from volunteers and human lymphocyte cell line AHH- 1were irradiated with X-rays to form chromosome translocations. The frequency of translocation was detected by uorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), meanwhile, the expression of Ku70 was also detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot.

Sulforaphane, an active ingredient from cruciferous plants, has been identified as a potential anticancer agent in various cancers. However, there is little information about its effect on cervical cancer. Here, we conducted a present study to uncover the effect and the potential mechanisms of sulforaphane on cervical cancer. HeLa cells were treated with sulforaphane, and cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8, Western blot, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence. Then, next-generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics tools were used to analyze mRNA-seq, miRNA-seq, and potential pathways. Finally, qRT-PCR, Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry, small RNAs analysis, and Western blot were performed to evaluate the biological function of miR1247-3p and MAPK pathway in HeLa cell lines.

Its alternations have been recognized as a significant component of cancer development. In this study, we use the DNA methylation 450k data from The Cancer Genome Atlas to evaluate the efficacy of DNA methylation data on cancer classification for 30 cancer types. We propose a new method for gene selection in high dimensional data(over 450 thousand). Variance filtering is first introduced for dimension reduction and Recursive feature elimination (RFE) is then used for feature selection. We address the problem of selecting a small subsets of genes from large number of methylated sites, and our parsimonious model is demonstrated to be efficient, achieving an accuracy over 91%, outperforming other studies which use DNA micro-arrays and RNA-seQ Data . The performance of 20 models, which are based on 4 estimators (Random Forest, Decision Tree, Extra Tree and Support Vector Machine) and 5 classifiers (k-Nearest Neighbours, Support Vector Machine, XGboost, Light GBM and Multi-Layer Perceptron), is compared and robustness of the RFE algorithm is examined.

  • Oxidized Phospholipids Regulate Amino Acid Metabolism Through MTHFD2 to Facilitate Nucleotide Release in Endothelial Cells

Brandes1,2 Oxidized phospholipids (oxPAPC) induce endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Here we show that oxPAPC induce a gene network regulating serine-glycine metabolism with the mitochondrial methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase/cyclohydrolase (MTHFD2) as a cau- sal regulator using integrative network modeling and Bayesian network analysis in human aortic endothelial cells. The cluster is activated in human plaque material and by atherogenic lipo- proteins isolated from plasma of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the MTHFD2-controlled cluster associate with CAD. The MTHFD2-controlled cluster redirects metabolism to glycine synthesis to replenish purine nucleotides. Since endothelial cells secrete purines in response to oxPAPC, the MTHFD2- controlled response maintains endothelial ATP. Accordingly, MTHFD2-dependent glycine synthesis is a prerequisite for angiogenesis. Thus, we propose that endothelial cells undergo MTHFD2-mediated reprogramming toward serine-glycine and mitochondrial one-carbon metabolism to compensate for the loss of ATP in response to oxPAPC during atherosclerosis.

  • Statistical and Bioinformatic Analysis of Hemimethylation Patterns in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Shuying Sun1* , Austin Zane2, Carolyn Fulton3 and Jasmine Philipoom4
    Sun et al. BMC Cancer (2021) 21:268 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-021-07990-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Statistical and bioinformatic analysis of hemimethylation patterns in non-small cell lung cancer Shuying Sun1* , Austin Zane2, Carolyn Fulton3 and Jasmine Philipoom4 Abstract Background: DNA methylation is an epigenetic event involving the addition of a methyl-group to a cytosine- guanine base pair (i.e., CpG site). It is associated with different cancers. Our research focuses on studying non-small cell lung cancer hemimethylation, which refers to methylation occurring on only one of the two DNA strands. Many studies often assume that methylation occurs on both DNA strands at a CpG site. However, recent publications show the existence of hemimethylation and its significant impact. Therefore, it is important to identify cancer hemimethylation patterns. Methods: In this paper, we use the Wilcoxon signed rank test to identify hemimethylated CpG sites based on publicly available non-small cell lung cancer methylation sequencing data. We then identify two types of hemimethylated CpG clusters, regular and polarity clusters, and genes with large numbers of hemimethylated sites. Highly hemimethylated genes are then studied for their biological interactions using available bioinformatics tools. Results: In this paper, we have conducted the first-ever investigation of hemimethylation in lung cancer. Our results show that hemimethylation does exist in lung cells either as singletons or clusters. Most clusters contain only two or three CpG sites. Polarity clusters are much shorter than regular clusters and appear less frequently. The majority of clusters found in tumor samples have no overlap with clusters found in normal samples, and vice versa.

If misrepaired, DSBs can lead to cancer, neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency and premature ageing. Based on systematic proteome microarray screening combined with widely applicable carbene footprinting and high-resolution structural profiling, we define two non-conventional SUMO2- binding modules on XRCC4, a DNA repair protein important for DSB repair by non- homologous end-joining (NHEJ).

Coexpression Networks Based on Natural Variation in Human Gene Expression at Baseline and Under Stress Abstract Genes interact in networks to orchestrate cellular processes. Here, we used coexpression networks based on natural variation in gene expression to study the functions and interactions of human genes. We asked how these networks change in response to stress. First, we studied human coexpression networks at baseline. We constructed networks by identifying correlations in expression levels of 8.9 million gene pairs in immortalized B cells from 295 individuals comprising three independent samples. The resulting networks allowed us to infer interactions between biological processes. We used the network to predict the functions of poorly-characterized human genes, and provided some experimental support. Examining genes implicated in disease, we found that IFIH1, a diabetes susceptibility gene, interacts with YES1, which affects glucose transport. Genes predisposing to the same diseases are clustered non-randomly in the network, suggesting that the network may be used to identify candidate genes that influence disease susceptibility.
