Genome-Wide Histone H3K27 Acetylation Profiling Identified Genes Correlated With Prognosis in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Thyroid carcinoma (TC) is the most common endocrine malignancy, and papillary TC (PTC) is the most frequent subtype of TC, accounting for 85-90% of all the cases. Aberrant histone acetylation contributes to carcinogenesis by inducing the dysregulation of certain cancer-related genes. However, the histone acetylation landscape in PTC remains elusive. Here, we interrogated the epigenomes of PTC and benign thyroid nodule (BTN) tissues by applying H3K27ac chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) along with RNA-sequencing. By comparing the epigenomic features between PTC and BTN, we detected changes in H3K27ac levels at active regulatory regions, identified PTC-specific super-enhancer-associated genes involving immune-response and cancer-related pathways, and uncovered several genes that associated with disease-free survival of PTC. In summary, our data provided a genome-wide landscape of histone modification in PTC and demonstrated the role of enhancers in transcriptional regulations associated with prognosis of PTC.

Project description:Epigenetic reprogramming is the ability of innate immune cells to form memories of environmental stimuli (priming), allowing for heightened responses to secondary stressors. Herein, we explored microglial epigenetic marks using the known inflammagen LPS as a memory priming trigger and Parkinsonian-linked environmental neurotoxic stressor manganese (Mn) as the secondary environmental trigger. To mimic physiological responses, the memory priming trigger LPS treatment was removed by triple-washing to allow the cells' acute inflammatory response to reset back before applying the secondary insult. Our results show that after the secondary Mn insult, levels of key proinflammatory markers, including nitrite release, iNOS mRNA and protein expression, Il-6, Il-α and cytokines were exaggerated in LPS-primed microglia. Our paradigm implies primed microglia retain immune memory that can be reprogrammed to augment inflammatory response by secondary environmental stress. To ascertain the molecular underpinning of this neuroimmune memory, we further hypothesize that epigenetic reprogramming contributes to the retention of a heightened immune response. Interestingly, Mn-exposed, LPS-primed microglia showed enhanced deposition of H3K27ac and H3K4me3 along with H3K4me1. We further confirmed the results using a PD mouse model (MitoPark) and postmortem human PD brains, thereby adding clinical relevance to our findings. Co-treatment with the p300/H3K27ac inhibitor GNE-049 reduced p300 expression and H3K27ac deposition, decreased iNOS, and increased ARG1 and IRF4 levels. Lastly, since mitochondrial stress is a driver of environmentally linked Parkinson's disease (PD) progression, we examined the effects of GNE-049 on primary trigger-induced mitochondrial stress. GNE-049 reduced mitochondrial superoxide, mitochondrial circularity and stress, and mitochondrial membrane depolarization, suggesting beneficial consequences of GNE-049 on mitochondrial function. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that proinflammatory primary triggers can shape microglial memory via the epigenetic mark H3K27ac and that inhibiting H3K27ac deposition can prevent primary trigger immune memory formation and attenuate subsequent secondary inflammatory responses.

Project description:Despite clinical advances, ischemia-induced cardiac diseases remain an underlying cause of death worldwide. Epigenetic modifications, especially alterations in the acetylation of histone proteins play a pivotal role in counteracting stressful conditions, including ischemia. In our study, we found that histone active mark H3K27ac was significantly reduced and histone repressive mark H3K27me3 was significantly upregulated in the cardiomyocytes exposed to the ischemic condition. Then, we performed a high throughput drug screening assay using rat ventricular cardiomyocytes during the ischemic condition and screened an antioxidant compound library comprising of 84 drugs for H3K27ac by fluorescence microscopy. Our data revealed that most of the phenolic compounds like eugenol, apigenin, resveratrol, bis-demethoxy curcumin, D-gamma-tocopherol, ambroxol, and non-phenolic compounds like l-Ergothioneine, ciclopirox ethanolamine, and Tanshinone IIA have a crucial role in maintaining the cellular H3K27ac histone marks during the ischemic condition. Further, we tested the role of eugenol on cellular protection during ischemia. Our study shows that ischemia significantly reduces cellular viability and increases total reactive oxygen species (ROS), and mitochondrial ROS in the cells. Interestingly, eugenol treatment significantly restores the cellular acetylation at H3K27, decreases cellular ROS, and improves cellular viability. To explore the mechanism of eugenol-medicated inhibition of deacetylation, we performed a RNAseq experiment. Analysis of transcriptome data using IPA indicated that eugenol regulates several cellular functions associated with cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic processes. Further, we found that eugenol regulates the expression of HMGN1, CD151 and Ppp2ca genes during ischemia. Furthermore, we found that eugenol might protect the cells from ischemia through modulation of HMGN1 protein expression, which plays an active role in regulation of histone acetylation and cellular protection during stress. Thus, our study indicated that eugenol can be exploited as an agent to protect the ischemic cells and also could be used to develop a novel drug for treating cardiac disease.
