Cellular generation of 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine by redox-active chemicals via an unprecedent non-enzymatic mechanism


ABSTRACT: We proposed that besides TET family dioxygenase oxidizing 5mC to 5hmC, there is a non-enzyme pathway which is due to hydroxyl radica l(OH) or OH-like species also involvement in demethylation of 5mC forming 5hmC. This pathway includes classical fenton reagents such as H2O2 and Fe2+, and more important redox-activity quinoid compounds, especially, tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (TCBQ), which was reported producing hydroxyl radicals independent of transition metal Examination of 5hmC and transcriptome levels with TCBQ and DMSO in human MRC-5 cell lines

DNA methylation has been proven to be a critical epigenetic mark important for various cellular processes. Here, we report that redox-active quinones, a ubiquitous class of chemicals found in natural products, cancer therapeutics and environment, stimulate the conversion of 5 mC to 5 hmC in vivo, and increase 5 hmC in 5751 genes in cells. 5 hmC increase is associated with significantly altered gene expression of 3414 genes. Interestingly, in quinone-treated cells, labile iron-sensitive protein f  ...[more]
