Increased local DNA methylation disorder in AMLs with DNMT3A-destabilizing variants and its clinical implication by Dohoon Lee, Bonil Koo, Seokhyeon Kim, Jamin Byun, Junshik Hong, Dong-Yeop Shin, Choong-Hyun Sun, Jaesung Kim, Ji-Joon Song, Siddhartha Jaiswal, Sung-Soo Yoon, Sun Kim, Youngil Koh

“…We present that methylomes of DNMT3A INS AMLs are considerably different from those of DNMT3A R882 AMLs in that they exhibit increased intratumor DNA methylation heterogeneity in bivalent chromatin domains. This epigenetic heterogeneity was associated with the transcriptional variability of developmental and membrane-associated factors shaping stem cell niche, and also was a predictor of the response of AML cells to hypomethylating agents, implying that the survival of AML cells depends on stochastic DNA methylations at bivalent domains. …”

Deciphering the effect of UM171 on human hematopoietic progenitor cell fate through clonal analysis by Patrick Coulombe, Elisa Tomellini, Jalila Chagraoui, Nadine Mayotte, Guy Sauvageau

“…This can be achieved via exposure to UM171 which leads to the degradation of chromatin modifiers and prevents the loss of key epigenetic marks. However, the chromatin landscape varies across populations within the hematopoietic system and the effect of UM171 on self-renewal and differentiation potential of different hematopoietic progenitor cells is less characterized. …”

Synapse Plasticity in Motor, Sensory, and Limbo-Prefrontal Cortex Areas as Measured by Degrading Axon Terminals in an Environment Model of Gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) by Janina Neufeld, Gertraud Teuchert-Noodt, Keren Grafen, York Winter, A. Veronica Witte

“…Still little is known about naturally occurring synaptogenesis in the adult neocortex and related impacts of epigenetic influences. We therefore investigated (pre)synaptic plasticity in various cortices of adult rodents, visualized by secondary lysosome accumulations (LA) in remodeling axon terminals. …”

Maternal asthma imprints fetal lung ILC2s via glucocorticoid signaling leading to worsened allergic airway inflammation in murine adult offspring by Tomoaki Takao, Ako Matsui, Chie Kikutake, Keiko Kan-o, Azusa Inoue, Mikita Suyama, Isamu Okamoto, Minako Ito

“…Furthermore, these offspring carry overlapping chromatin-accessible altered regions, including glucocorticoid receptor-binding regions in their lung ILC2s both at the fetal stage and adulthood, suggesting persistent prenatal epigenetic changes. Moreover, maternal exposure to glucocorticoids has similar effects on fetal lung ILC2s and contributes to allergen-induced lung inflammation during adulthood. …”

lncRNA GAU1 Induces GALNT8 Overexpression and Potentiates Colorectal Cancer Progression by Xuemei Tang, Haoyu Ruan, Liu Dong, Sihan Li, Zhiyuan Wu, Ming Guan

“…lncRNA is a key epigenetic regulator in biological processes. In the human cancer transcriptome library MiTranscriptome, we identified GAU1 as the top upregulated lncRNA in colorectal cancer (CRC) by sample set enrichment analysis (overexpression ranking percentile=99.75%, P<10−50), which is coexpressed with the potential oncogene GALNT8 (Spearman rho=0.67, P=2.44×10−23, TCGA dataset n=184). …”

Particulate Matter-Induced Acute Coronary Syndrome: MicroRNAs as Microregulators for Inflammatory Factors by Nur Izah Ab Razak, Nor Eliani Ezani, Norzian Ismail

“…Various plausible pathogenic mechanisms have been identified, including microRNAs (miRNAs), an epigenetic regulator for gene expression. Endogenous miRNAs, average 22-nucleotide RNAs (ribonucleic acid), regulate gene expression through mRNA cleavage or translation repression and can influence proinflammatory gene expression posttranscriptionally. …”
