▼ B cell translocation gene 2 (BTG2/TIS21/PC3) belongs to the family of antiproliferative (APRO) genes and reported as a tumor suppressor by our group and others. Expression of BTG2 is significantly reduced in cancers developed in various organs and tissues. EJ (bladder carcinoma cells), MKN-1 (gastric cancer cells) are highly invasive and metastatic cells with very less endogenous BTG2 expression due to epigenetic regulation. Significantly lower endogenous expression of BTG2 was observed in human muscle-invasive bladder cancers (MIBC) than matched normal tissues and non-muscle invasive bladder cancers (NMIBC). BTG2 expression was inversely correlated with increased expression of the DNA methyltransferases DNMT1 and DNMT3a in MIBC, but not NMIBC, suggesting a potential role for BTG2 expression in muscle invasion of bladder cancer. Over 90% of tumor tissues revealed strong methylation at CpG islands of the BTG2 gene, compared with no methylation in the normal tissues, implying epigenetic regulation of BTG2 expression in bladder carcinogenesis. BTG2 is constitutively expressed in mucous epithelium and parietal cells of gastric glands in stomach, and the expression was increased in mucous epithelium with H. pylori infection as opposed to loss in human gastric adenocarcinoma. Indeed, adenoviral transduction of BTG2 significantly inhibited Tipα activity in MKN-1 and MGT-40, human and mouse gastric cancer cells, respectively, thereby downregulated TNFα expression and Erk1/2 phosphorylation via reducing nucleolin, Tipα receptor, expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation proved that BTG2 inhibited Sp1 expression and it’s binding to the promoter of nucleolin gene. In addition, BTG2 expression significantly reduced membrane localized nucleolin expression in cancer cells and the loss of BTG2/TIS21 expression rather induced cytoplasmic nucleolin availability in gastric cancer tissues, evidenced by immunoblot and immunohistochemistry. The higher expression of BTG2 and the lower nucleolin expression accompanied with the better overall survival of the poorly differentiated gastric cancer patients.
B cell translocation gene 2(BTG2/TIS21/PC3)는 antiproliferative gene(APRO) 계열에 속하며 본 연구팀을 포함한 많은 연구자들에 의해 BTG2 의 암억제 기능이 연구되어 왔다. BTG2 는 여러 조직과 기관에서 발생한 암에서 그 발현이 감소되어 있고, 특히 침윤(invasion)과 전이(metastasis)를 잘하는 암세포인 EJ (bladder carcinoma cells)와 MKN-1 (gastric cancer cells)에서도 후성유전학적(epigenetic regulation)으로 BTG2 발현이 매우 감소되어 있다. 최근 사람에서, 이런 침윤성과 전이성이 높은 암에서 BTG2 가 침윤을 억제하고 침윤을 조장하는 단백질과 mRNA 발현과는 음의 상관도를 보인다는 보고가 많기에, 본 저자는 BTG2 가 어떤 기전으로 침윤성 암을 조절하는지를 중점적으로 연구하였다. 사람의 근육침범 방광암(muscleinvasive bladder cancers, MIBC)에서 비-근육침범 방광암(non-muscle invasive bladder cancers, NMIBC)보다 BTG2 의 발현이 현저히 감소되어 있다는 것을 발견하였다. 이런 MIBC 에서의 BTG2 의 감소는 반대로 DNA 메틸기전달효소 DNMT1 과 DNMT3a 의 증가와 연관이 있었고, 이런 음의 상관관계는 NMIBC 에서는 발견되지 않음으로써 BTG2 이 방광암의 근육 침범에 분명한 역할을 하고 있다는 가능성을 보였다. 방광암 조직들의 90%에서 BTG2 유전자의 CpG 섬에 강한 메틸화를 보였고, 반대로 정상 방광조직에서는 메틸화가 발견되지 않음으로써, 방광암발생과정에서 BTG2 이 후성학적 조절을 받는다는 사실도 증명했다. 한편, BTG2 는 위 점막의 상피세포와 위샘의 벽세포(Parietal cell)에서 기본적으로 발현되고 있으며, 이 유전자의 발현은…

▼ La méthylation des cytosines est une modification épigénétique catalysée par la famille des ADN méthyltransférases (DNMTs). C’est une marque répressive lorsqu’elle est adressée sur les îlots CpG des promoteurs de gènes. Le développement embryonnaire murin est caractérisé par une reprogrammation de la méthylation de l’ADN qui est critique pour le développement de l’embryon. Cependant, la contribution des différentes DNMTs dans la méthylation du génome ainsi que les mécanismes qui ciblent la méthylation de l'ADN vers certains gènes durant le développement embryonnaires sont mal connus. En combinant des approches de cartographie génomique avec des lignées génétiquement modifiées de souris, mes travaux de Thèse ont permis de clarifier la contribution des différentes DNMTs dans la méthylation du génome dans l’embryon : DNMT3A et DNMT3B sont strictement impliqués dans la méthylation de novo, et DNMT1 est strictement impliqué dans son maintien au cours des divisions cellulaires. De plus, l’analyse d’embryons globalement déméthylés a révélé de nombreuses fonctions de la méthylation de l’ADN dans le maintien de l'intégrité transcriptomique de l'embryon en réprimant des gènes gamétiques, des gènes du développement, des promoteurs cryptiques ainsi qu’un large panel de transposons. Dans un deuxième temps, j’ai étudié le rôle du facteur de transcription E2F6 dans le ciblage de la méthylation de l'ADN in vivo chez la souris. Mes résultats démontrent que E2F6 facilite l’acquisition de la méthylation de l’ADN au niveau du promoteurs des gènes gamétiques et est nécessaire pour initier leur répression à long terme au cours de l'embryogenèse. Dans leur ensemble, ces travaux contribuent à mieux comprendre les fonctions et mécanismes de ciblage de la méthylation de l'ADN au cours de l'embryogenèse des mammifères.
Cytosine methylation is an epigenetic modification catalyzed by the family of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs). This modification is involved in gene repression when it is addressed to CpG islands in gene promoters. Global DNA methylation reprogramming occurs in mice during the early phases of embryogenesis, which is critical for proper embryo development. However, the contribution of different DNMTs in genome methylation and the mechanisms that target DNA methylation to specific genes during embryonic development are poorly understood. By combining genomic mapping with genetically modified mouse lines, my Thesis work clarified the contribution of the different DNMTs in genome methylation in the embryo: DNMT3A and DNMT3B are strictly involved in de novo methylation, and DNMT1 is strictly involved in the maintenance of DNA methylation during cellular divisions. In addition, the analysis of globally demethylated embryos revealed numerous functions of DNA methylation in maintaining the transcriptomic intergrity of the embryo by repressing germline genes, developmental genes, cryptic promoters as well as a large panel of transposons.

▼ Les modifications épigénétiques participent au contrôle de l'expression génique. Il a été montré que la méthylation des désoxycytidines (dC) de l'ADN joue un rôle clé dans la régulation épigénétique chez les mammifères. Cette modification correspond à la marque épigénétique la plus stable. Elle a lieu sur des résidus CpG regroupés en ilôts, essentiellement situés au niveau des séquences promotrices, des séquences répétées et des séquences encadrants les ilôtsCpG. L'hyperméthylation des promoteurs induit une inhibition de l'expression des gènes, tandis qu'une hypométhylation est associée à une expression. Les enzymes responsables de la méthylation de l'ADN sont les méthyltransférases d'ADN (DNMTs). Deux familles de DNMTscatalytiquement actives ont été identifiées: on distingue la DNMT1, principalement responsable de la maintenance de la méthylation de l'ADN lors de la réplication, et les DNMT3A et 3B, qui sont responsables d'une méthylation de l'ADN dite de novo. L'altération des profils de méthylation de l'ADN conduit à diverses maladies telles que le cancer. Les cellules cancéreuses présentent souvent un profil de méthylation de l'ADN différent des cellules saines, on observe en particulier une hyperméthylation spécifique des gènes dits suppresseurs de tumeur. Une restauration de leur expression par l'inhibition de la méthylation de l'ADN représente ainsi une stratégie thérapeutique attrayante. Plusieurs inhibiteurs de DNMTs ont été décrits et deux analogues de nucléosides sont approuvés par la FDA pour traiter certaines leucémies: la 5-azacytidine (VidazaTM) et la 5-azadeoxycytidine (Dacogene(r)). Notre laboratoire développe depuis plusieurs années de nouveaux inhibiteurs non nucléosidiques de DNMTs qui ciblent leur site catalytique. J'ai étudié ici les effets pharmacologiques de ces inhibiteurs catalytiques des DNMTs, en utilisant plusieurs lignées cellulaires cancéreuses (issues d'une leucémie, d'un lymphome et d'un cancer du côlon). J'ai utilisé pour cela différentes technologies permettant d'analyser la méthylation de l'ADN, l'accessibilité de la chromatine, les modifications des histones et l'expression des gènes. Ces nouvelles thérapies épigénétiques visent à la reprogrammation des cellules cancéreuses, c'est pourquoi j'ai exploré les modifications à long terme induites par ces nouveaux composés. Nous avons montré que ces composés sont des inhibiteurs puissants de DNMT3A et qu'ils sont capables d'induire l'expression d'un gène raporteur (la luciférase) sous le contrôle du promoteur CMV, par une déméthylation de ce promoteur et une ouverture de la chromatine. Enfin, ces nouveaux inhibiteurs de DNMTs déméthylent la région promotrice de gènes suppresseurs de tumeurs et induisent leur ré-expression.
Epigenetic modifications participate to the control of gene expression. Methylation of deoxycytidines (dC) in the DNA was shown to play a key role in epigenetic regulation in mammals. It is the most stable epigenetic mark and occurs at CpG sites, which are grouped in islands and essentially located in promoters,…

▼ DNA methylation is a major source of genetic variation and cancer. Methylation occurs when nucleophilic DNA bases react with methylating agent methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), dimethyl sulfate (DMS),
N-methyl-
N-nitrosourea (MNU),
N-methyl-
N-nitro-
N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), etc. N7-methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine (N7-methyl-dG, or
7MedG) adduct is the most abundant DNA methylation products for most methylating agents. DNA polymerase actions on
7MedG are difficult to study due to its instability against ring- opening hydrolysis and deglycosyl ati on. Oligonucleotides containing a single chemical adduct of
7MedG cannot be chemically synthesized. In addition,
7MedG is unstable in vivo due to the presence of DNA repair enzymes. This work explores the possibility of using stable analogues of N7-methyl-dG to study the polymerase bypass. The chemical synthesis of N7-methyl-9-deaza- dG (
7Me9CdG) has been developed and the nucleoside has been successfully incorporated into oligonucleotides. Thermal melting studies show that replacement of dG by
7Me9CdG only slightly decreases DNA duplex stability. Replication of the DNA templates containing
7Me9CdG and the related 7- methyl -7-deaza- dG (
7Me7CdG) and 7-deaza- dG (
7CdG) by Klenow fragment of
E. coli DNA polymerase I is examined. The misincorporation frequencies on the
7Me9CdG,
7Me7CdG, and 7CdG templates are comparable to the dG template, although the 7-methyl group slows down the turnover rate of the polymerase when dCTP is incorporated. The stability of
7Me9CdG and
7Me7CdG against the actions of formamidopyrimidine DNA
N- glycosylase (Fpg) and human alkyladenine DNA Glycosylase (hAAG) are also studied.
7Me9CdG is stable in the presence of both enzymes. In contrast, <sup>
7Me7C</sup>dG is cleaved by Fpg, and possibly by hAAG but in an extremely slow rate. This work demonstrates that
7Me9CdG is a better analogue than
7Me7CdG for future cellular studies.
Epigenetic mechanisms regulate the expression of genetic information. A major epigenetic event is DNA cytosine methylation, which is catalyzed by the DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs). Among different mammalian DNMTs, DNMT1 is the most abundant and active, and plays multiple roles in carcinogenesis, embryonic development, and several other biological functions. Reactivation of silenced tumor suppressor genes by
DNMT inhibitors (DNMTi) is provides a relatively new approach to cancer therapy. A couple of irreversible nucleoside
DNMT inhibitors have been developed clinically. However, due to their low specificity and high cellular toxicity, there is a clear need for the development of reversible inhibitors. S-adenosyl homocysteine (SAH) is a known strong inhibitor of DNA methyltransferases. Based on the crystal structure of SAH bound to human DNMT1-DNA complex, a series of transition state…

▼ Le myélome multiple (MM) est une néoplasie B caractérisée par l’accumulation d’un clone plasmocytaire dans la moelle osseuse. Des études ont démontré que les modifications épigénétiques comme la méthylation de l’ADN jouent un rôle dans la régulation d’expression de différents gènes associés au cancer. Dans une étude récente, nous avons pu décrire un score génique de méthylation de l’ADN permettant de prédire la sensibilité des cellules de MM aux inhibiteurs de
DNMT (DNA methyltranfexrase) (Moreaux, et al 2012). Parmi les gènes dont l’expression est inhibée par les inhibiteurs de
DNMT et associés avec un pronostic péjoratif chez les patients atteints de MM, nous avons identifié RECQ1. RECQ1 est une hélicase de la famille RECQ qui s’associe aux origines de réplication durant la phase S du cycle cellulaire et joue un rôle important dans l’élongation des fourches de réplication. RECQ1 est fortement exprimé dans différents types de tumeurs solides et l’inhibition de RECQ1 conduit à la catastrophe mitotique et inhibe la croissance de tumeurs solides. Le but de notre projet a été de caractériser la fonction de RECQ1 dans la physiopathologie du MM et les mécanismes de résistance aux traitements. Afin d’étudier le rôle biologique de RECQ1 dans les plasmocytes tumoraux, nous avons utilisé des vecteurs lentiviraux pour induire de façon inductible la surexpression ou l'inhibition de RECQ1. La déplétion de RECQ1 dans les cellules de MM entraîne une inhibition de la croissance, une induction significative d’apoptose et la formation de foyers 53BP1 indiquant la présence de cassures d’ADN double brin. Une forte expression de RECQ1 étant associée à un mauvais pronostic et la déplétion de RECQ1 conduisant à une induction de cassures d’ADN double brin, nous nous sommes demandé si l’inhibition de l’expression de RECQ1 pourrait sensibiliser les cellules de MM aux agents génotoxiques utilisés dans le traitement du MM. La déplétion de RECQ1 sensibilise, de façon significative, les cellules de MM au melphalan suggérant que l’association d’un inhibiteur de
DNMT pour cibler RECQ1 et du melphalan pourrait avoir un effet synergique chez les patients RECQ1++. La surexpression de RECQ1 protège les lignées cellulaires de myélome contra l'apoptose induite par melphalan et bortézomib. De plus, l'épuisement RECQ1 sensibilise les cellules de myélome de traitement est démontré que RECQ1 interagit avec des protéines impliquées dans différentes voies de réparation des dommages de l’ADN : PARP1 (NHEJ/BER), RAD51 (HR), MSH2 et MSH6 (Mismatch repair). RECQ1 interagit avec PARP1 dans la fraction chromatinienne des cellules de MM mais pas avec RAD51 ni MSH2. Cette interaction est significativement induite en présence de melphalan. Des inhibiteurs de PARP sont actuellement en développement préclinique ou en essai clinique. De façon intéressante, la déplétion de RECQ1 sensibilise significativement les cellules de MM à un inhibiteur de PARP in vitro suggérant que l’association d’un inhibiteur de
DNMT pour cibler RECQ1 et d’un inhibiteur de PARP pourrait avoir un…

Dans ce contexte, notre première étude vise à examiner le niveau global de la 5-methylcytosine (5-mCyt), 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmCyt), 5-carboxylcytosine (5-CaCyt) et 5-hydroxymethyluridine (5-hmU) dans des lymphocytes B purifiés de patients LLC (n=56) et d’individus sains (n=17). Les principaux acteurs de la régulation épigénétique (DNMT1/3A/3B, MBD2/4, TET1/2/3, SAT1) ont été évalués par PCR quantitative en temps réel. L’analyse a permis de mettre en exergue trois groupes de patients. En premier lieu, un groupe de patients stables (délai médian de progression [PFS] et délai au premier traitement [TFT] >120 mois), avec un profil épigénétique similaire au groupe contrôle. Deuxièmement, un groupe intermédiaire (PFS=84; TFT=120 mois) qui présente une augmentation de la déméthylation de l’ADN expliquée par l'induction SAT1 / TET2 pendant la progression de la maladie. Troisièmement, un groupe de patients avec une forme active de la maladie (PFS=52; TFT=112 mois) qui présentent une hyperlymphocytose, une réduction du temps de doublement des lymphocytes et des modifications épigénétiques majeures. Au sein de ce groupe, une réduction est observée pour la 5-mCyt, 5-hmCyt, 5-CaCyt et serait associée à une diminution des DNMTs, TETs et MBDs au cours de la progression de la maladie. Les profils épigénétiques mis en évidence sont indépendants du statut mutationnel IGHV mais sont associés avec les anomalies cytogénétiques. Nous nous sommes également intéressés à cette association et nous avons montré dans la deuxième étude que les modifications des dérivées de la cytosine peuvent affiner le pouvoir pronostic des anomalies cytogénétiques. En conclusion, nos résultats suggèrent que les variations de la méthylation ainsi que des intermédiaires de la déméthylation de l’ADN sont impliqués dans la progression de la LLC.
Cytosine derivatives are important epigenetic modifications whose role in the pathogenesis and evolution of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is not fully explored. In this context, our first study aims to examine the global DNA level of 5-methylcytosine (5-mCyt), 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmCyt), 5-carboxylcytosine (5-CaCyt) and 5-hydroxymethyluridine (5-hmU) in purified B lymphocytes of CLL patients (n = 56) and healthy individuals (n = 17). The main actors in epigenetic regulation (DNMT1 / 3A / 3B, MBD2 / 4, TET1 / 2/3, SAT1) were evaluated by quantitative real time PCR. The analysis highlighted three groups of patients. First, a group of patients with stable disease (median time to progression [PFS] and time to first treatment [TFT]> 120 months), with an epigenetic profile similar to the control group. Secondly, an intermediate group (PFS = 84, TFT = 120 months) which shows an increase in DNA demethylation explained by SAT1 / TET2 induction during disease progression. Third, a group of patients with an active form of the disease (PFS…

▼ La toxoplasmose, déterminée par le parasite Toxoplasma gondii, est l'une des infections les plus répandues au monde, en raison de la persistance à vie sous forme latente de ce parasite au sein de ces hôtes. Ce parasite fait partie des Apicomplexa et détourne les voies de signalisation de l'hôte par des mécanismes épigénétiques qui convergent vers des protéines nucléaires clés. Nous rapportons ici une nouvelle stratégie de persistance parasitaire impliquant la protéine de rhoptries ROP16 de T. gondii, sécrétée précocement lors de l'invasion, qui cible le facteur de transcription UHRF1 (Ubiquitin-like containing PHD and RING fingers domain 1) et induit un arrêt du cycle de la cellule-hôte. Ceci est induit par l'activité de la DNMT et le remodelage de la chromatine au niveau du promoteur du gène de la cycline B1 par le recrutement d’UHRF1 phosphorylé associé à un complexe protéique multienzymatique répressif. Cela conduit à la désacétylation et à la méthylation de l'histone H3 entourant le promoteur de la cycline B1 pour réduire de manière épigénétique son activité transcriptionnelle. De plus, l'infection par T. gondii provoque une hyper-méthylation de l'ADN dans la cellule hôte par la régulation positive des DNMTs. ROP16 est déjà connue pour activer et phosphoryler des facteurs de transcription de l'immunité protectrice tels que STAT 3/6/5 et le suppresseur tumoral p53 impliqué dans la progression du cycle cellulaire. De plus, ROP16 module ces voies de signalisation de l'hôte de manière souche-dépendante. Comme dans le cas de STAT3, les effets de ROP16 sur UHRF1 dépendent du polymorphisme d'un seul acide aminé du domaine kinase de ROP16. Ce travail montre que Toxoplasma module un nouvel initiateur épigénétique, UHRF1, via un événement précoce initié par la kinase parasitaire ROP16.
Toxoplasmosis, caused by the apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, is one of the most common infections in the world due to the lifelong persistence of this parasite in a latent stage in its hosts. T. gondii hijacks host signaling pathways through epigenetic mechanisms which converge on key nuclear proteins. Here we report a new parasite persistence strategy involving Toxoplasma rhoptry protein ROP16 secreted early during invasion, which targets the transcription factor UHRF1 (Ubiquitin-like containing PHD and RING fingers domain 1), and leads to host cell cycle arrest. This is mediated by DNMT activity and chromatin remodeling at the cyclin B1 gene promoter through recruitment of phosphorylated UHRF1 associated with a repressive multienzymatic protein complex. This leads to deacetylation and methylation of histone H3 surrounding the cyclin B1 gene promoter to epigenetically silence its transcriptional activity. Moreover, T. gondii infection causes DNA hypermethylation in its host cell, by upregulation of DNMTs. ROP16 is already known to activate and phosphorylate protective immunity transcription factors such as STAT 3/6/5 and the tumor suppressor p53 involved in cell cycle progression. Moreover, ROP16 modulates host signaling…

▼ The epigenetic modifications can change the state of selective part in the DNA by different enzymes
such DNA methyltransferases and the
histone deacetylases.
Dysregulation of the epigenetic
mechanisms are associated with the
initiation and progression of cancer.
The reversibility of this dysregulation in epigenetic
modifications make it an attractive target for cancer therapy
and drug discovery scientists.
Therefore, several investigational
drugs for cancer therapy are in clinical trials. Interestingly, US
Food and Drug Administration
and the European Medicines
Agency have already approved
six epigenetics drugs for haematological malignancies but not for solid tumours.
Currently, different epigenetic drugs are under study for both
haematological and solid tumours
as single agents or in combinations.
In this thesis, I will discuss some epigenetics modifications and their role in cancer.
After that,I will review the approved epigenetic drugs, the
epigenetic drugs in clinical trials
and finally the epigenetic drugs in preclinical studies
that currently being explored for
cancer.

▼ During the past decade it has been shown that alternative splicing is a important mechanism for the proteome diversity. AS is a mechanism that generates a large amount of protein isoforms from a low number of human genes. Alternative splicing is regulated by four groups of cis-regulatory elements and different splicing factors. Even though AS is important for the diversity and complexity of different organisms it is also a source for different genetic diseases like cancer. This review article will focus on breast cancer and its connection to the mechanism of alternative splicing. Breast cancer is a common disease in women. In recent years many studies have shown an important relationship between mutations in the alternative splicing mechanism and the two most important genes involved in breast cancer BRCA1 and BRCA2. This article will also present different efforts against this disease.

▼ Background. Ethanol-induced excessive apoptosis in neural crest cells (NCCs), a multipotent progenitor cell population, is one of the major mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying FASD that results from maternal alcohol exposure during pregnancy are poorly understood. The overall goals of this study are to examine the mechanisms by which ethanol induces apoptosis and malformations
in vitro and
in vivo, and to develop a nutritional-based approach by using SFN and SFN-rich BSE to prevent FASD through epigenetic modulation. Results. This study demonstrates that ethanol exposure resulted in a significant increase in the
DNMT activity and the expression of DNMT3a in human neural crest cells. SFN can significantly diminish ethanol-induced increases in
DNMT activity and the expression of DNMT3a. We have also found that ethanol-induced up-regulation of DNMT3a and an increase in
DNMT activity resulted in hypermethylation at the promoters of the selected anti-apoptotic genes and that SFN can diminish ethanol-induced hypermethylation at the promoters of the anti-apoptotic genes by preventing ethanol-induced up-regulation of DNMT3a and increase in
DNMT activity. In addition, the knockdown of DNMT3a or treatment with SFN significantly diminished ethanol-induced decreases in the mRNA and protein expression of NAIP and XIAP and prevented ethanol-induced apoptosis in human neural crest cells. The knockdown of DNMT3a also enhanced the effects of SFN on the mRNA and protein expression of NAIP and XIAP and the protective effects of SFN on ethanol-induced apoptosis. This study also shows that ethanol exposure can increase HDAC activity and the expression of HDAC2 in human neural crest cells. SFN treatment significantly diminished ethanol-induced increase in HDAC activity and the up-regulation of HDAC2. We have also found that ethanol-induced increase in HDAC activity and up-regulation of HDAC2 resulted in the reduction of H3 acetylation at the promoters of AKT1, BIRC6 and XIAP and that SFN diminished ethanol-induced reduction of H3 acetylation at the promoters of anti-apoptotic genes by inhibiting HDAC activity and reducing ethanol-induced up-regulation of HDAC2. In addition, SFN treatment or knockdown of HDAC2 significantly diminished ethanol-induced decreases in the mRNA and protein expression of AKT1, BIRC6 and XIAP and prevented ethanol-induced apoptosis in human neural crest cells. The knockdown of HDAC2 also enhanced the effects of SFN on the mRNA and protein expression of AKT1, BIRC6 and XIAP and the protection against ethanol-induced apoptosis. In addition, our studies have shown that ethanol exposure can inhibit EMT through the down-regulation of Snail1 by decreasing H3K4me3 enrichment at the promoter regions of Snail1 and increase apoptosis in neural crest cells. SFN treatment can reverse the ethanol-induced reduction of the H3K4me3 enrichment at the promoter regions of Snail1, restore…

Small molecule-based drug design of anticancer agents that

▼ Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in
men and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the
United States. So far, several mechanisms have been identified by
which androgen-independent prostate cancer can develop, including
constitutively active AKT pathway, overexpression of Bcl-xL and
hypermethylation of tumor suppressor and caretaker genes, such as
RASSF1A and GSTP1. In this dissertation research, we have developed
three classes of anticancer agents that target the AKT signaling
pathway, Bcl-xL, and DNA methyltransferases based on small
molecules as our molecular templates.In terms of targeting the AKT
pathway, we examined the antiproliferative effect of our lead
compound doxazosin, our pharmacological study revealed that
doxazosin’s apoptotic effect was mediated, in part, through the
down-regulation of phospho-AKT. Therefore, a systematic
modification of doxazosin was carried out yielding the optimal
compounds 33 and 44 which exhibited an order of magnitude
improvement in antiproliferative potency. Development of the Bcl-xL
inhibitor arose from our attempt to develop non-nucleoside DNA
hypomethylating agents based on procainamide and procaine as
molecular templates. However, the antiproliferative effects of
these procainamide derivatives in PC-3 cells could not be
attributed to the alteration of DNA methylation status. A search
for a molecular target of these agents attributed their
antiproliferative effect in PC-3 cells to the inhibition of Bcl-xL
function. Among these derivatives, compound 27 exhibited the
greatest inhibitory effect against Bcl-xL activity. Exposure of
PC-3 cells to 27 resulted in the release of cytochrome c from
mitochondria, followed by the activation of caspase-9 and PARP
cleavage. To continue our research on the development of
non-nucleoside DNA hypomethylating agents, (-)-epicatechin gallate
(ECG) was selected as our molecular template based on the
literature describing its ability to inhibit DNA methyltransferase
(
DNMT) activity. Screening of some candidates by
methylation-specific PCR (MSP) in three cancer cell lines indicated
that RASSF1A gene could be consistently demethylated by compound
6A. Altogether, through this dissertation research, we have
successfully developed three classes of anticancer agents that
modulate different molecular targets. These findings suggest that
small molecule-based drug design can be a powerful tool to develop
more structurally diversified anticancer agents.

▼ Le domaine de l'épigénétique couvre l'ensemble des phénomènes héritables et transmissibles qui interviennent dans l'expression du génome sans modifier la séquence nucléotidique. L'information épigénétique est régulée par les modifications de la chromatine impliquant les histones et l'ADN. La méthylation de l'ADN est un phénomène réversible jouant un rôle crucial dans l'expression des gènes puisque la méthylation des promoteurs de gènes empêche leur transcription. La modulation aberrante de cette marque épigénétique est associée à diverses pathologies telles que le cancer. Cette méthylation étant réversible, elle peut être ciblée afin de reprogrammer la cellule cancéreuse. Les méthyltransferases d'ADN (DNMT), étant les enzymes responsables de la méthylation, représentent la cible principale de notre stratégie de recherche. Leur inhibition par des petites molécules est au centre de nos recherches de thérapies anticancéreuses dont les bases sont représentées par deux catégories d'inhibiteurs de DNMT existant. Les premiers sont des analogues de cytosine qui est la cible de la méthylation. Ils sont connus pour s'intégrer dans l'ADN et former un complexe covalent irréversible avec l’enzyme (complexe suicide) mais ils souffrent d'un manque de stabilité et de certains effets indésirables dus à leur incorporation dans l’ADN. Les seconds sont les inhibiteurs non nucléosidiques qui sont divers et parfois connus pour cibler d’autres enzymes. Ils ont l’avantage de pouvoir être utilisés comme sondes pour comprendre plus précisément le mécanisme d'inhibition mais ils manquent de spécificité et de sélectivité. Au cours de cette thèse, une banque de molécules a été criblée à partir de la combinaison d'un test enzymatique et d'un test cellulaire visant à inhiber ces enzymes. Les synthèses de trois familles de molécules potentiellement inhibitrices de DNMT issus de ce criblage sont décrites en expliquant le chemin de drug design emprunté pour obtenir des informations mécanistiques d’inhibition de la méthylation d’ADN, notamment de réactivité avec la cible. Les découvertes ont été inspirées par des études de modélisation permettant de mettre en évidence une sélectivité de certains inhibiteurs. La synthèse chimique a également abouti à une nouvelle voie de synthèse d’accès aux diaminopyrimidines dont l’impact permet de faciliter les études chimiques de dérivés quinazolines comme inhibiteur non nucléosidiques utiles pour les thérapies anticancéreuses.
Epigenetic is defined as the study of heritable changes in the genes expression without altering the DNA sequence. Two main processes are implicated in this field, the histones modifications and the DNA methylation. By introducing an acetyl or a methyl group on the histone tails or by methylation of DNA, the chromatin state is modified and the gene expression is controlled. Aberrant epigenetic modifications are associated with several diseases, in particular with cancer. In cancer cells, the whole DNA is hypomethylated, thus promoting genome instability, while the promoter region is…

▼ Ce manuscrit présente le développement de nouveaux inhibiteurs de la DNMT1 (DNA Methyl- transferase), enzyme impliquée dans les modifications épigénétiques de l’ADN et dont la dérégulation participe à l’évolution des cancers épigénétiques. La première partie de ces travaux a porté sur le design par modélisation moléculaire de nouveaux composés prolino-homo-tryptophanes capables d’interagir avec les deux sites de liaisons de la DNMT1. Dans une seconde partie, la modélisation moléculaire nous a permis de dessiner plusieurs composés pyrazoles comme nouveaux inhibiteurs potentiels de la DNMT1. A la suite de ces études, l’ensemble des composés dessinés ont été synthétisés puis évalués sur une DNMT1 humaine recombinante grâce à un test d’inhibition biochimique. L’évaluation biochimique a permis de mettre en évidence deux composés lead capables d’inhiber totalement la DNMT1 à forte concentration (500 μM).
This manuscript presents the development of novel DNMT1 (DNA Methyltransferase) inhibi- tors. This enzyme is involved in epigenetic modification of DNA and its deregulation may lead to epigenetic cancers. The first part of this work focused on the design by molecular modeling of new prolino-homo-tryptophan compounds which can interact with both pockets of DNMT1. In a second time, molecular modeling allows us to design several pyrazole compounds as po- tential new DNMT1 inhibitors. Following these studies, all designed compounds were synthe- tized and tested on a recombinant human DNMT1enzyme thanks to a biochemical inhibition test. Biological evaluation bright to light two lead compounds which totally inhibit DNMT1 at high concentration (500 μM).

▼ This thesis investigated the involvement of several epigenetic proteins in hippocampus (HPC)- and perirhinal cortex (PRh)-mediated object recognition. Previous literature has demonstrated the requirement for both DNA methylation and histone acetylation, two prominent epigenetic mechanisms, in HPC-dependent memory, including object recognition, but at the outset of these experiments no one had studied these mechanisms within the PRh, another structure necessary for object recognition. Specifically, we determined the involvement of the DNA methyltransferases DNMT1, DNMT3a, and DNMT3b, which are required for DNA methylation; the GADD45 isoforms GADD45a, GADD45b, and GADD45g, which are involved in DNA demethylation; and three prominent histone acetyltransferases, CBP, p300, and PCAF, which are involved in histone acetylation, in both the HPC and PRh for object-in-place (OiP) memory. The use of the OiP task enabled us to compare the involvement of these mechanisms within these two regions, as successful performance in this paradigm requires the HPC and PRh for processing of object location and object identity, respectively. The role of these factors in short-term (20min) and long-term (24h) OiP memory was assessed using intra-HPC and PRh administration of various compounds that selectively inhibit or activate these proteins. Furthermore, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to measure mRNA expression of these factors. Similarly, chromatin immunoprecipitation and methylated DNA immunoprecipitation, followed by qPCR, were used to measure protein and 5mC occupancy, respectively, on specific genomic loci. Our results demonstrate that epigenetic mechanisms are necessary for PRh-mediated memory, but additionally illustrate differential involvement of these epigenetic factors in the HPC and PRh for successful OiP memory. Notably, we determined that DNMT1 and GADD45a, neither of which have been implicated in mnemonic processes, are both necessary in PRh, but not the HPC, for long-term OiP memory. Moreover, our results suggest that GADD45a modulates DNMT1-mediated methylation on two intergenic loci, following learning. Additionally, we have shown that PCAF functionally interacts with ERalpha to support short-term memory in the HPC, but not PRh. These regional dissociations are likely due to the differences in information processing, highlighting the importance of comparing the involvement of epigenetic mechanisms between mnemonic structures.

▼ INTRODUCTION AND AIM OF STUDY: The DNA methyltransferases DNMT1, DNMT3a, and
DNMT3b catalyze DNA methylation. This leads to compression and inactivation of
the methylated DNA region via complex epigenetic mechanisms. Under
physiological conditions, the genome is globally hypermethylated, whereas gene
promoters tend to be hypomethylated. In tumorigenesis these promoters,
especially those of tumor-suppressor-genes, often undergo methylation and
consecutive inactivation, while the rest of the genome is aberrantly
hypomethylated. Promoter hypermethylation is shown to correlate with increased
DNMT expression in some tumors. Promoter hypermethylation could be partially
reversed by
DNMT inhibitors in Phase I - III studies.
DNMT expression has not
yet been analyzed in pediatric AML and relapse of ALL. In this study, the
expression of DNMT1 and DNMT3b (the DNMTs which are considered to be mainly
responsible for aberrant methylation in tumor cells) and the expression of
selected isoforms was analyzed in newly diagnosed pediatric AML and relapse of
pediatric ALL. The expression was compared to that in healthy subjects.
Furthermore, the prognostic role of
DNMT expression was examined. MATERIAL AND
METHODS: The
DNMT expression in tumor cells of 26 patients with first relapse
of pediatric ALL (7patients in CCR and 19 patients with subsequent event) and
47 patients with newly diagnosed pediatric AML (34 patients in CCR and 13
patients with subsequent event) was examined and compared to the expression in
leukocytes of 22 healthy subjects. After cell filtration RNA was isolated and
reversely transcribed into cDNA, which was quantified by Real-Time-PCR after
establishment of standard curves and normalized with 2 reference genes (RpL13a
served as a stably expressed gene and PCNA as a proliferation marker).
RESULTS: Expression of DNMT1 is not altered in leukemic cells compared to the
control group if normalized with RpL13a, whereas it is decreased if normalized
with PCNA. Expression of DNMT3b is increased in ALL if normalized with RpL13a
but not altered if normalized with PCNA. In AML cells, DNMT3b expression is
increased after normalization with both reference genes. The isoform DNMT1’
accounts for 90% of the entire DNMT1 expression in all groups. All other
isoforms were not included into the statistical analysis since they were not
detectable in all of the samples. DNMT3b4 was detected in 70% of the samples
of the ALL- and AML-group, respectively, whereas it was not detected in the
control group. No differences were found between the subgroups with different
outcome. DISCUSSION: Expression of DNMT1 is not altered in the examined
leukemic cells compared to the control group despite the elevated level of
proliferation. This relatively low level of expression in leukemic cells might
contribute to the hypomethylation of newly synthesized DNA. DNMT3b expression
is elevated in AML-cells after normalization with both reference genes. This
might lead to aberrant hypermethylation of promoter regions as well as to
hypomethylation by DNMT3b4 via…

▼ Epigenetics is a rapidly developing field of study which investigates chemical modifications to the genome, independent of the DNA sequence, which regulate gene expression profiles. The most commonly studied epigenetic modification, DNA methylation, has been demonstrated to be influenced by lifestyle factors including diet and exercise. The modulation of DNA methylation by lifestyle factors is one potential mechanism for the reduction in disease risk induced by a healthy lifestyle. This thesis aimed to identify the impact of exercise on DNA methylation and mRNA expression and determine whether fatty acid supplementation may modulate this response. Custom assays were developed and validated (Chapter 4) to assess the DNA methylation of peroxisome proliferative activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PPARGC1A), interleukin 6 (IL6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) at specific cytosine bases in genomic locations previously identified to be biologically relevant. Assays to investigate the mRNA expression of PPARGC1A, IL6, TNF and the DNA methyltransferases (DNMT) were validated to ensure accurate results. In Chapter 5, DNMT mRNA expression decreased following an acute bout of exercise to volitional fatigue; whereas, no changes in DNA methylation were identified as a result of exercise or supplementation of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs). However, an interaction was determined between exercise and n-3 PUFA supplementation for the DNA methylation of a single IL6 CpG site. Following exercise, decreased DNA methylation and increased mRNA expression of IL6 was detected after n-3 PUFA supplementation compared to the trial before supplementation. IL6 methylation was correlated to the n-3 PUFA content in whole blood following supplementation suggesting increased n-3 PUFA content following supplementation may prime the cells for future exercise stimuli. Chapter 6 sought to investigate whether acute exercise of an increased duration would modulate DNA methylation profiles and adopted a double-blind randomised repeated measures design to try and confirm the interaction between exercise and n-3 PUFA supplementation. Following a one-hour cycling bout, consisting of 45 mins cycling at 70% of V̇O2 followed by a 15 min time trial, we determined global hypomethylation, a reduction in PPARGC1A DNA methylation and increased mRNA expression of PPARGC1A. These methylation changes were associated with a similar reduction in DNMT expression as reported in Chapter 5. In line with the positive correlations between whole blood n-3 PUFA content in the previous chapter, an increase in IL6 methylation was determined following n-3 PUFA supplementation compared to the impact of supplementation with extra virgin olive oil; however, this relationship was not further modulated by exercise. The focus of Chapter 7 was the impact of acute resistance exercise on DNA methylation profiles and whether resistance training and fatty acid supplementation could modulate the epigenetic response. Acute resistance exercise was sufficient to…

▼ Drosophila melanogaster enthält eine geringe Menge an 5-methyl-Cytosin. Die von mir untersuchte männliche Keimbahn von Drosophila weist jedoch keine nachweisbaren Mengen an DNA-Methylierung auf. Eine künstliche Expression der murinen de novo Methyltransferasen, DNMT3A und DNMT3B1, in den Fliegenhoden, führte nicht zu der erwarteten Methylierungszunahme und hatte keinen Effekt auf die Fruchtbarkeit der Männchen. Auch die gewebespezifische Expression unter der Verwendung des UAS/GAL4-Systems zeigte keine phenotypischen Veränderungen.
Hingegen fanden wir auf Protein-Ebene des Chromatins von D. melanogaster und D. hydei spezifische Modifikationsmuster der Histone H3 und H4 in der Keimbahn, wie auch in den somatischen Zellen des Hodenschlauches. Die Modifikationsmuster der beiden Zelltypen unterscheiden sich grundlegend und weichen zudem von dem für Eu- und Heterochromatin erwarteten ab, was auf eine größere Komplexität des „Histon-Codes“ als angenommen hindeutet. Folglich liegt die epigenetische Information in Drosophila wahrscheinlich anstatt auf DNA- auf Protein-Ebene, wodurch Genexpression über die Chromatinstruktur reguliert wird.
Es wurde gezeigt, dass der Transkriptionsfaktor E2F, der eine Schlüsselfunktion im Zellzyklus hat, durch unterschiedliche Transkripte offenbar quantitativ reguliert wird. Unsere Nachforschungen ergaben, dass die drei E2F1 Genprodukte in Drosophila neben ihrer Zellspezifität auch in unterschiedlichen Expressionsniveaus auftreten, was die Annahme einer quantitativen Expression unterstützt. Die verschiedenen Funktionen der multiplen Gene in Säugern, könnten so funktionell kompensiert werden. Die durch die Expression dreier dE2F1-Transkripte vermutete Synthese verschiedener Proteine konnte nicht bewiesen werden.
Drosophila melanogaster includes a low amount of 5-methylcytosine. My investigations of the male germ line of Drosophila displayed no detectable amounts of DNA-methylation. The two artificially expressed murine de novo methyltransferases, DNMT3A and DNMT3B1, in the flies` testis, did not increase the methylation level, neither had an effect on the male’s fertility. A tissue-specific expression by the usage of the UAS/GAL4-system did not show any phenotypic changes.
On the chromatin level of D. melanogaster and D. hydei we found specific modification patterns of histone H3 and H4 in the male germ line as well as in somatic cells. The patterns of modification of both cell types differ from each other and deviate from the one expected for eu- and heterochromatin, indicating a higher complexity of the “histone-code” as assumed. Hence the epigenetic information in Drosophila may be based on the protein, instead of the DNA level.
It was shown that the transcription factor E2F, known to play a key function in cell cycle, might be regulated by different transcripts quantitatively. Our studies demonstrated that the three gene products of E2F1 in Drosophila are besides their cell specificity, present in different expression levels, supporting the presumption of a quantitative regulation.…

▼ Eine der am meisten erforschten epigenetischen Mechanismen ist die Methylierung von DNA. Diese Arbeit beschränkt sich auf die Cytosin-Methylierung, von der eine Vielfalt an Organismen betroffen ist. Das hauptsächliche Vorkommen von 5-Methyl-Cytosin (5mC) besteht in Anhäufungen von Cytosin und Guanin, sogenannten CpG-Inseln. In Pflanzen findet man auch CpNpG-Inseln vor, wobei N für ein beliebiges Nukleotid steht. CpG-Inseln können mosaikartig verteilt oder über das gesamte Genom verstreut sein. Die Methylierung von Cytosin wird gemeinhin mit der Funktionsstille eines Gens in Verbindung gebracht.
5mC kommt nicht als Baustein für die DNA vor. Stattdessen katalysiert eine Vielzahl an Enzymen den Transfer einer Methylgruppe vom gemeinsamen Coenzym S-Adenosyl-L-Methionin (SAM) auf das jeweilige Ziel-Cytosin innerhalb des Genoms. Diese Enzyme werden grundsätzlich in drei Klassen eingeteilt, welche DNMT1, DNMT2, sowie DNMT3 genannt werden. Pflanzen enthalten eine zusätzliche Klasse, die sogenannten Chromomethylasen (CMTs). Die Entfernung des Methylierungsstatus erfolgt mittels Ausschnitt des ganzen Nukleotids.
Unterschiedliche Nährstoffe liefern die notwendige Methylgruppe. Einer davon ist Methionin direkt, als Bestandteil von SAM. Andere sind Folsäure, Cobalamin und Cholin.
Epigenetische Vorgänge, die auf Cytosin-Methylierung beruhen, sind genomisches ‚imprinting’ und die Formierung von metastabilen Epiallelen. ‚Imprint’-Markierungen werden im Zuge der Genese von Keimzellen und im früh-embryonalen Stadium reguliert. Dabei ist ein Allel eines bestimmten Gens deaktiviert, während das andere normal exprimiert wird. Welches Allel exprimiert wird, ist abhängig von dessen elterlicher Herkunft. Metastabile Epiallele bilden sich während der Embryonal- und Fötalentwicklung. Ihre Bildung ist von der Nährstoffzusammensetzung durch den Mutterorganismus abhängig. Allgemein sind Gene mit einer Insertion betroffen. Ein hoher Methylierungsgrad dieser Insertion kann beträchtliche phänotypische und physiologische Änderungen bewirken.
Unter den Zivilisationskrankheiten wird der Krebs momentan vorrangig im Zusammenhang mit epigenetischen Mechanismen untersucht. Mehrere Biomarker und damit in Beziehung stehende Gene sind identifiziert worden und die Entwicklung und klinische Erprobung von Medikamenten schreitet voran. Allerdings bestehen in jedem Fall Bedenken bezüglich der Abfolge von sich verändernden epigenetischen Erscheinungen und der Entstehung eines Tumors. Es gibt einige Ansätze, die dafür sprechen, dass epigenetische Veränderungen nur die Folge sind, nachdem sich eine somatische Zelle zu einer Krebszelle entwickelt hat.
Das letzte Kapitel der vorliegenden Arbeit gibt einen Überblick über die aktuelle Methodik bezüglich der DNA-Methylierungsforschung.

▼ Folic acid is a B vitamin involved in DNA CpG methylation. Mandated dietary fortification has led to a subsequent increase in blood folate concentration which has been correlated to a simultaneous spike in colorectal cancer incidence in Canada and the US. Several human colorectal cancer cell lines were cultivated under low (0 mg/L), standard (4 mg/L), and high (16 mg/L) folate conditions for seven days, then assessed for DNA methyltransferase1 protein expression, changes in DNA methylation, and ability to generate colonospheres in culture. Low folic acid levels generally led to reduced DNMT1 protein expression, CpG hypomethylation, and reduced colonosphere yield. High folic acid levels led to increased DNMT1 protein expression, CpG hypermethylation, and maintained colonosphere yield. This data demonstrates that varying levels of folic acid in vitro can influence the methylation status and cancer stem cell self-renewal ability of human colorectal cancer cells.

▼ To broaden our knowledge about the role of cGKIa in the nervous system,
especially in sensory neuron axonal growth, this thesis focussed on the
following issues:
a) Using an isoform specific antibody the expression of cGKIa was investigated
in wholemounts, brain sections, and western blots during embryonic and early
postnatal development of the mouse nervous system. The observed spatiotemporal
expression pattern of cGKIa suggests a functional role for the kinase in
regulating axonal growth, migration, and differentiation of several neuronal
populations.
b) Cells known to express cGKIa in the wildtype were analysed for potential
pathfinding errors or migration deficits in mice deficient for cGKI. For this
purpose immunohistochemical studies employing several antibodies and Silver
/Nissl-Stainings were carried out. However, none of the structures examined
varied from those of wildtype littermates with respect to pathfinding errors
or other malformations.
c) cGMP-activated cGKI phosphorylates several intracellular target proteins.
Three of those proteins (VASP, CRP2 and myosin phosphatase/myosin IIB) were
chosen for further investigations due to their ability to regulate
cytoskelatal dynamics. Phosphorylation studies using isolated dorsal root
ganglia (DRGs) from cGKI-deficient and wildtyp mice allowed the clear
identification of VASP as a phosphorylation target of cGKI in sensory neurons.
Furthermore, using a panel of antibodies several developmental stages of the
corresponding knockout mice were immunohistochemically tested for pathfinding
errors with respect to those found in the cGKI-knockout mouse. However, in
none of these knockout mice pathfinding of DRG axons was disturbed, suggesting
that - disregard of potential compensatory effects - none of these proteins is
involved in the pathfinding errors, detected in cGKI deficient mice.
d) Assuming that none of the cGKI targets investigated so far is essential for
pathfinding of sensory axons, it was necessary to pursuit alternative
approaches to identify potential targets and binding partners of cGKI or cGKIa
in the nervous system, possibly playing a role in DRGs too. In an approach to
find potential substrates of cGKI, tissue lysates from cGKI deficient or
wildtype cerebellum after stimulation by the cGKI activator 8-pCPT-cGMP were
separated by two-dimensional gelelectrophoresis and compared for differences
in the pattern of protein expression or phosphorylation, respectively.
Comparative studies of changes in protein expression due to the lack of cGKI
revealed both downregulated and upregulated proteins, which were identified by
mass spectrometry. Although some differences in the phosphorylaton pattern of
wildtype and cGKI-deficient mice were observed also, identification of those
proteins requires further investigations due to methodological problems. In a
second approach the yeast two-hybrid system was used to screen an E17 mouse
library for intracellular interaction partners of cGKIa. Two potential
interaction partners for cGKIa have been found: the…

Genome-scale DNA methylation changes in endothelial cells by disturbed flow and its role in atherosclerosis.

▼ Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the arterial walls and is the major cause of heart attack and stroke. Atherosclerosis is localized to curves or branches in the vasculature where disturbed blood flow alters endothelial cell (EC) gene expression and induces EC dysfunction. Epigenetics controls aberrant gene expression in many diseases, but the mechanism of flow-induced epigenetic gene regulation in ECs via DNA methylation has not been well studied until very recently. The goal of this project was to determine how the DNA methylome responds to flow, causes altered gene expression, and regulates atherosclerosis development. Here, we found that d-flow increases DNA Methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) expression in ECs, and we hypothesized that this causes a shift in the EC methylome and transcriptome towards a pro-inflammatory, pro-atherosclerotic gene expression program, and further that this leads to atherosclerosis development. To test this hypothesis, we employed both in vitro and in vivo experimental approaches combined with genome-wide studies of the transcriptome and DNA methylome according to the following three specific aims: 1) to elucidate the role of DNA Methyltransferase 1 in EC function, 2) to uncover the DNA methylation-dependent EC gene expression response to flow, and 3) to discover and examine master regulators of EC function that are controlled by DNA methylation. The work presented here has resulted in new knowledge about the epigenetic EC shear response, details the previously unstudied EC methylome, and implicates specific loci within the genome for additional studies on their role in EC biology and atherosclerosis. This work provides a foundation for novel and more targeted therapeutic strategies for CVD.

▼ In recent years, there has been increased interest into better understanding how environmental In recent years, there has been increased interest into better understanding how
environmental exposures influence the long-term health of an organism. Chemical
pollutants, dietary deficiencies, embryonic stress and multiple other external factors have
all demonstrated long-lasting effects upon development, metabolism, and health even after
transient exposures. The mechanisms by which these exposures can impact development
far beyond the period of exposure remain largely unknown. To gain better insight into the
developmental origins of both birth defects and disease, we must better understand how
environmental exposures alter development.
In this work, we will examine the capacity of the environment to impact chromatin
states, and then determine whether these changes are heritable; and are thus potentially
causal in the development of disease. This is an important question due to the recent
recognition that aberrant chromatin states can lead to pathological patterns of gene
expression, a circumstance commonly referred to as “epimutations”. Dysregulation of
gene expression patterns during development have been shown to cause a multitude of
irregular phenotypes in offspring and lifelong disorders in mature organisms. This altered
chromatin state, coined an epimutation by Dr. Emma Whitelaw, is important due to the
mutation not being in the genetic code itself, but in the way DNA regulatory regions are
packaged within the chromatin template, and thus accessed by the protein factors directing
gene transcription. The body of work presented here will examine the ability of common
environmental exposures to modulate chromatin structure. We will examine these changes over time in an effort to better understand the inheritance of epigenetic change. Secondly,
we will measure whether environmentally induced alterations in chromatin structure
within the germline persist, and are heritable. These questions are all relevant to better
understanding the developmental origins of disease.
