    Shao et al. Clinical Epigenetics (2020) 12:31 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13148-020-00827-3 RESEARCH Open Access CHD4/NuRD complex regulates complement gene expression and correlates with CD8 T cell infiltration in human hepatocellular carcinoma Simin Shao1†, Haowei Cao1†, Zhongkun Wang1, Dongmei Zhou2, Chaoshen Wu1, Shu Wang1, Dian Xia1 and Daoyong Zhang1* Abstract Backgrounds: The NuRD (Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylation) complex is a repressive complex in gene transcription by modulating chromatin accessibility of target genes to transcription factors and RNA polymerase II. Although individual subunits of the complex have been implicated in many other cancer types, the complex’s role in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not fully understood. More importantly, the NuRD complex has not yet been investigated as a whole in cancers. Methods: We analyzed the expression of the NuRD complex in HCC and evaluated the prognostic value of NuRD complex expression in HCC using the RNA-seq data obtained from the TCGA project. We examined the effect of CHD4 knockdown on HCC cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, colony-forming ability, and on complement gene expression. We also performed bioinformatic analyses to investigate the correlation between the NuRD complex expression and immune infiltration. Results: We found that nine subunits, out of 14 subunits of the NuRD complex examined, were significantly overexpressed in HCC, and their expression levels were positively correlated with cancer progression. More importantly, our data also demonstrated that these subunits tended to be overexpressed as a whole in HCC. Subsequent studies demonstrated that knockdown of CHD4 in HCC cells inhibits cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and colony-forming ability and promotes apoptosis of HCC cells, indicating that the CHD4/NuRD complex plays oncogenic roles in HCC.

    Wu et al. BMC Medical Genomics (2020) 13:31 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12920-020-0697-y CASE REPORT Open Access 4q27 deletion and 7q36.1 microduplication in a patient with multiple malformations and hearing loss: a case report Maolan Wu, Xiangrong Zheng* , Xia Wang, Guoyuan Zhang and Jian Kuang Abstract Background: Chromosome deletions of the long arm of chromosome 4 in 4q syndrome are characterized by mild facial and digital dysmorphism, developmental delay, growth retardation, and skeletal and cardiac anomalies, which is regarded as an autism spectrum disorder. Moreover, some scarce reports indicate that patients with 4q interstitial deletion and 7p duplication may present symptoms associated with hearing loss. Case presentation: A boy with a severe developmental delay not only post-natal but also intrauterine and several dysmorphic features including microcephaly, ocular hypertelorism, exophthalmos, low-set ears, single palmar flexion crease, and overlapping toes presented discontinued cyanosis and recurrent respiratory infections. MRI, BAEP, echocardiogram and bronchoscopy revealed that he had persistent falcine sinus with a thin corpus callosum, left auditory pathway disorder, patent foramen ovale (2 mm), and tracheobronchomalacia with the right superior bronchus arising from the lateral posterior wall of the right main bronchus. Finally, the patient died with severe pneumonia at 10 months. Array CGH revealed a 23.62 Mb deletion at chromosome 4q27, arr [hg19] 4q27-q31.21 (121, 148, 089–144, 769, 263) × 1, and a 0.85 Mb duplication at chromosome 7q36.1, arr [hg19] 7q36.1-q36.2 (152, 510, 685–153, 363,5 98) × 3. It is rare for 4q syndrome cases or 7q duplications previously reported to have a hearing disorder, pulmonary dysplasia, and pulmonary arterial hypertension.

It remains unclear how H3.3 interacts with chromatin modifying enzymes and thereby modulates gene activity. In this study, we performed a co- immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry analysis of proteins associated with H3.3-containing nucleosomes and identified the Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase complex (NuRD) as a major H3.3-interactor. We show that the H3.3- NuRD interaction is dependent on the H3.3 lysine 4 residue and that NuRD binding occurs when lysine 4 is in its unmodified state.

Although AA is relatively common, only 5% of AA patients progress to AT/AU, which affect the whole scalp and whole body respectively. To determine genetic determinants of this orphan disease, we undertook whole-exome sequencing of 6 samples from AU patients, and 26 variants in immune-related genes were selected as candidates. When an additional 14 AU samples were genotyped for these candidates, 6 of them remained at the level of significance in comparison with 155 Asian controls (p,1.9261023).

Defining the transcriptomic landscape of the developing enteric nervous system and its cellular environment Abstract Background: Motility and the coordination of moving food through the gastrointestinal tract rely on a complex network of neurons known as the enteric nervous system (ENS). Despite its critical function, many of the molecular mechanisms that direct the development of the ENS and the elaboration of neural network connections remain unknown. The og al of this study was to transcriptionally identify molecular pathways and candidate genes that drive specification, differentiation and the neural circuitry of specific neural progenitors, the phox2b expressing ENS cell lineage, during normal enteric nervous system development.

BMC Cancer (2018) 18:658 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-018-4551-y RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access ArareCHD5 haplotype and its interactions with environmental factors predicting hepatocellular carcinoma risk Qin Xiao1,2†, Lianzhou Chen3†, Haiqing Luo1,4†, Hongmei Li1,5†, Qingming Kong6, Fei Jiao7, Shifeng Pang1, Ming Zhang8, Feifei Lan9, Wenguo Fan10, Hui Luo1*, Tao Tao8* and Xiao Zhu1* Abstract Background: CHD5 is a conventional tumour-suppressing gene in many tumours. The aim of this study was to determine whether CHD5 variants contribute to the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: Gene variants were identified using next-generation sequencing targeted on referenced mutations followed by TaqMan genotyping in two case-control studies. Results: We discovered a rare variant (haplotype AG) in CHD5 (rs12564469-rs9434711) that was markedly associated with the risk of HCC in a Chinese population. A logistical regression model and permutation test confirmed the association. Indeed, the association quality increased in a gene dose-dependent manner as the number of samples increased. In the stratified analysis, this haplotype risk effect was statistically significant in a subgroup of alcohol drinkers. The false-positive report probability and multifactor dimensionality reduction further supported the finding. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the rare CHD5 gene haplotype and alcohol intake contribute to the risk of HCC. Our findings can be valuable to researchers of cancer precision medicine looking to improve diagnosis and treatment of HCC.
