Suppression of DNA Double-Strand Break Formation by DNA Polymerase B in Active DNA Demethylation Is Required for Development of Hippocampal Pyramidal Neurons

However, the contribution of DNA repair to genome stability in neurons remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that the base excision repair protein DNA polymerase b (Polb) is involved in hippocampal pyramidal neuron fl/fl differentiation via a TET-mediated active DNA demethylation during early postnatal stages using Nex-Cre/Polb mice of ei- ther sex, in which forebrain postmitotic excitatory neurons lack Polb expression. Polb deficiency induced extensive DNA dou- ble-strand breaks (DSBs) in hippocampal pyramidal neurons, but not dentate gyrus granule cells, and to a lesser extent in neocortical neurons, during a period in which decreased levels of 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine were observed in genomic DNA. Inhibition of the hydroxylation of 5-methylcytosine by expression of microRNAs miR-29a/b-1 diminished DSB formation. -

They are present in all major organ systems of the body and are uniquely reserved there during development for tissue maintenance during homeostasis, injury, and infection. They do so by promptly modulating the dynamics of proliferation, differentiation, survival, and migration. Any imbalance in these processes may result in regeneration failure or developing cancer. Hence, the dynamics of these various behaviors of ASCs need to always be precisely controlled. Several genetic and epigenetic factors have been demonstrated to be involved in tightly regulating the proliferation, differentiation, and self-renewal of ASCs. Understanding these mechanisms is of great importance, given the role of stem cells in regenerative medicine. Investigations on various animal models have played a significant part in enriching our knowledge and giving In Vivo in-sight into such ASCs regulatory mechanisms. In this review, we have discussed the recent In Vivo studies demonstrating the role of various genetic factors in regulating dynamics of different ASCs viz. -

DNA Methylation, Imprinting and Cancer
European Journal of Human Genetics (2002) 10, 6±16 ã 2002 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 1018-4813/02 $25.00 www.nature.com/ejhg REVIEW DNA methylation, imprinting and cancer Christoph Plass*,1 and Paul D Soloway*,2 1Division of Human Cancer Genetics and the Comprehensive Cancer Center, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, OH 43210, USA; 2Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, New York, NY 14263, USA It is well known that a variety of genetic changes influence the development and progression of cancer. These changes may result from inherited or spontaneous mutations that are not corrected by repair mechanisms prior to DNA replication. It is increasingly clear that so called epigenetic effects that do not affect the primary sequence of the genome also play an important role in tumorigenesis. This was supported initially by observations that cancer genomes undergo changes in their methylation state and that control of parental allele-specific methylation and expression of imprinted loci is lost in several cancers. Many loci acquiring aberrant methylation in cancers have since been identified and shown to be silenced by DNA methylation. In many cases, this mechanism of silencing inactivates tumour suppressors as effectively as frank mutation and is one of the cancer-predisposing hits described in Knudson's two hit hypothesis. In contrast to mutations which are essentially irreversible, methylation changes are reversible, raising the possibility of developing therapeutics based on restoring the normal methylation state to cancer-associated genes. Development of such therapeutics will require identifying loci undergoing methylation changes in cancer, understanding how their methylation influences tumorigenesis and identifying the mechanisms regulating the methylation state of the genome. -
Creating a Census of Human Cells
XO FILES SCIENCE eXtraordinary Opportunity PHILANTHROPY ALLIANCE Creating a Census of Human Cells For the first time, new techniques make possible a systematic description of the myriad types of cells in the human body that underlie both health and disease. Aviv Regev Imagine you had a way to cure cancer that involved taking a molecule from a tumor and engineering the body’s immune cells to recognize and kill any cell with that molecule. But before you could apply this approach, you would need to be sure that no healthy cell also expressed that molecule. Given the 20 trillion cells in a human body, how would you do that? This is not a hypothetical example, but was one recently posed to our laboratory. More fundamentally, without a map of different cell types and where they are found within the body, how could you systematically study changes in the map associated with different diseases, or High resolution images of retinal tissue from the human eye, showing ganglion cells (in green).
