Arsenic is an established human carcinogen, but the mechanisms through which it contributes to for instance lung cancer development are still unclear. As arsenic is methylated during its metabolism, it may interfere with the DNA methylation process, and is therefore considered to be an epigenetic carcinogen. In the present study, we hypothesize that arsenic is able to induce DNA methylation changes, which lead to changes in specific gene expression, in pathways associated with lung cancer promot ...[more]

Project description:Accelerated brain development is a unique feature of the human species. Not only the size but also morphology, in particular the connections between frontal cortex and basal ganglia distinguish the human brain from great apes and other primates. Recent findings suggest that structural features which may be important for language acquisition are influenced by FOXP2, key regulator of CNTNAP2. CNTNAP2 is one of the largest genes in the human genome, encompassing 2.3 Mb. It encodes a neurexin with essential roles in the vertebrate nervous system. The aim of our study was to compare the methylation patterns of CNTNAP2 in human and chimpanzee brains, assuming that epigenetic regulation is essential for brain development and human language abilities. To this end, we designed a NimbleGen tiling array covering the entire human CNTNAP2 gene plus 0.1 Mb up- and downstream flanking sequence with an average resolution of 13 bp. Methylated DNA ImmunoPreciptation (MeDIP) was used to enrich cytosine-methylated DNA fragments for downstream analysis with high-resolution tiling arrays. MeDIP-based CNTNAP2 methylation profiling

Project description:Antipsychotic drugs are commonly used to treat psychosis, mood disorders, and anxiety. While there is indirect evidence that some component of the antipsychotic effect of these drugs may involve modulation of dopamine transmission, their mechanism of action is poorly understood. We hypothesized that antipsychotic drugs mediate their effects via epigenetic modulation. Here we tested the effect of an antipsychotic, olanzapine, on the methylation status of genes following chronic treatment. These effects have been revealed through significantly increased (p<0.01) DNA methylation of genes involved in dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic pathways including the glutamatergic, GABAergic, cholinergic, neuregulin and ErbB signaling pathways. The affected genes included GLS in hippocampus, NR1 in cerebellum and GLUD1 and NR2B in liver. Further, from a set of genes in the 22q11.2 micro-deletions that has been previously implicated in psychosis, 22 genes showed increased methylation following olanzapine treatment. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) revealed that chronic olanzapine treatment significantly affected several important pathways such as CREB and CDK5 signaling (p=1.4E-05). Also, DNA replication, recombination and repair, cellular movement and cell cycle have been identified as the top networks affected by olanzapine. The results suggest that these downstream effects, aside from D2 blockade, may play a critical role in the biological actions of antipsychotics. These include altered expressions of relevant genes involved in GABAergic, glutamatergic, cholinergic, neuregulin and ErbB signaling pathways. Epigenetic mechanisms involving changes in DNA methylation could, therefore, explain the delay and individualized non-specificity of biological effects of olanzapine. The results also suggest that DNA methylation may play a role in the process of therapeutic efficacy of olanzapine by altering the transcriptome via tissue-specific methylation of genes involved in schizophrenia signaling pathways. comparison of olanzapine treated rats vs. control rats for genome-wide DNA methylation changes

Project description:Epigenetic regulation of gene expression plays a pivotal role in the orchestration of immune responses and may determine the vigor, quality, or longevity of such responses. Chemical allergens can be divided into two categories: skin sensitizing chemicals associated with allergic contact dermatitis, and chemicals that cause sensitization of the respiratory tract and occupational asthma. In mice these are characterized by different T helper (Th) cell responses. To explore the regulation and maintenance of these divergent responses, mice were exposed to 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB; a contact allergen) or trimellitic anhydride (TMA; a respiratory allergen). DNA from draining lymph nodes was processed for methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) followed by hybridization to a whole-genome DNA promoter array. 6319 differently methylated regions (DMR) were identified following DNCB treatment, while 2178 DMRs were measured following TMA treatment, with approximately half of the TMA DMR common to DNCB. When limited to promoter region-associated DMR, 637 genes were uniquely associated with DNCB induced DMR but only 164 genes were unique to TMA DMR. Promoter-associated DMR unique to either DNCB or TMA were generally hypomethylated whereas DMR common to both allergens tended to be hypermethylated. Pathway analyses highlighted a number of immune related pathways, including chemokine and cytokine signalling. These data demonstrate that chemical allergen exposure results in characteristic patterns of DNA methylation indicative of epigenetic regulation of the allergic response.

Project description:Cell-specific transcriptional regulations exerted by the estrogen (E2) receptor alpha (ER) heavily rely upon timely and spatially coordinated processes. We engaged a comparative analysis of such dynamic molecular events at the TFF locus harbouring a cluster of genes co-regulated by E2, in two distinct breast cancer cell lines. Using a combination of methods, we show that the recruitment of ER on cell-specific sites triggers dynamic local modifications of chromatin, which are coordinated in time all along the locus. DNA-FISH experiments further demonstrate that these changes are associated with an E2-dependent reduction in plasticity of this genomic region and are dependent upon cohesin. Importantly, 3C/4C experiments and the use of triplex forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) allowed us to precisely map the three-dimensional network of regulatory events that permits the estrogenic response of this genomic region. These data also evidenced an unexpected functional redundancy of enhancers. Independent duplicate array series, using on one array pooled ChIP triplicates prepared from separate MDA::ER or MCF-7 cell cultures treated with estradiol for 50 minutes.

Project description:We have devised a technology that enables chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments in cultured human cells by circumventing both the laborious production of protein-specific antibodies and the optimization of crosslinking/immunoprecipitation conditions for each protein. Our approach utilizes bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) to physiologically express chromatinbinding proteins fused to epitope tags that are recognized by widely available and highly specific antibodies. We demonstrate the robustness of our methodology for mapping chromatin binding sites of transcription factors. Keywords: ChIP-Chip Analysis This series contains ChIP-on-Chip data sets for three transcription factors (FOXA1 (Forkhead box A1), XBP1-S (spliced X-box binding protein 1) and VDR (Vitamin D receptor)) and control samples (INPUT) for partial of the human genome including chromosomes 4, 15, 18, and 20 in MCF7 cells. We mapped the binding sites of these three transcription factors in the BAC transgenic MCF7 cells in which we tagged the transcription factors with a modified LAP (localization and affinity purification) tag. Goat anti-GFP (raised against His-tagged full-length eGFP and affinity-purified with GST-tagged full-length eGFP) was used to perform ChIP experiments in those transgenic lines. For comparison, we also mapped FOXA1 and XBP1-S binding sites with the available antibodies against the endogenous proteins. Goat anti-FoxA1 (Abcam: ab5089) and goat anti-XBP1 (Santa Cruz Biotech: sc-7160X) were used in these studies. Independent biological triplicates were performed for each transcription factor, as well as the control (Input).

Project description:Muscle atrophy contributes to the poor prognosis of many physiopathological conditions, but pharmacological therapies are still limited. Muscle activity leads to major swings in mitochondrial [Ca2+] which control aerobic metabolism, cell death and survival pathways. We have investigated in vivo the effects of mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis in skeletal muscle function and trophism, by overexpressing or silencing the Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter (MCU). The results coherently demonstrate that both in developing and in adult muscles MCU-dependent mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake has a marked trophic effect that does not depend on autophagy or aerobic control, but impinges on two major hypertrophic pathways of skeletal muscle, PGC-1M-NM-14 and Igf1-Akt/PKB. In adult mice, MCU overexpression protects from denervation-induced atrophy. These data reveal a novel Ca2+-dependent organelle-to-nucleus signaling route, which links mitochondrial function to the control of muscle mass and may represent a possible pharmacological target in sarcopenia. Experiments were performed on biological replicates of single skeletal muscle fibres. Seven fibres were chosen for their Mutochondrial Calcium Uniporter (MCU) overexpression and other seven fibres because MCU was silenced. Overexpression and silencing were performed injecting skeletal muscle with AAV containing MCU gene or short interfering oligos specific for MCU. As control was profiled eigth fibres transfected with AAV and eigth wild type fibres. Analyses were performed 7 days and 14 days after the AAV injection (3 fibers after 7 days and 4 fibers after 14 days for MCU overexpression and silencing, four fibres after 7 days and four after 14 days for control).
