DNMT1-associated long non-coding RNA regulate global gene expression and DNA methylation in colon cancer
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The investigation of the association of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) with DNMT1 by RIP-seq reveals that DNMT1 interacts with DACOR1. We identified the genomic occupancy sites of DACOR1 through ChIRP-seq, which we found to significantly overlap with known differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in colon tumors. Induction of DACOR1 in colon cancer cell lines significantly reduced their ability to form colonies in vitro, suggesting a growth suppressor function. Consistent with the observed phenotype, induction of DACOR1 led to the activation of tumor-suppressor pathways and attenuation of cancer-associated metabolic pathways. Notably, DACOR1 induction resulted in down-regulation of Cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), which is known to lead to increased levels of S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) – the key methyl donor for DNA methylation.
