Opis:
Methylation of RNA and proteins is one of a broad spectrum of post-transcriptional/translational mechanisms of gene expression regulation. Its functional signification is only beginning to be understood. A sensitive capillary electrophoresis mobility shift assay (CEMSA) for qualitative study of the methylation effect on biomolecules interaction is presented. Two RNA-peptide systems were chosen for the study. The first one consists of a 17-nucleotide analogue (+27-+43) of the yeast tRNAPhe anticodon stem and loop domain (ASLPhe) containing three of the five naturally occurring modifications (2'-O-methylcytidine (Cm32), 2'-O-methylguanine (Gm34) and 5-methylcytidine (m5C40)) (ASLPhe-Cm32,Gm34,m5C40) and a 15-amino-acid peptide (named tF2 : Ser1-Ile-Ser-Pro-Trp5-Gly-Phe-Ser-Gly-Leu10-Leu- Arg-Trp-Ser-Tyr15) selected from a random phage display library (RPL). A peptide-concentration-dependent formation of an RNA-peptide complex was clearly observable by CEMSA. In the presence of the peptide the capillary electrophoresis (CE) peak for triply methylated ASLPhe shifted from 18.16 to 20.90 min. Formation of the complex was not observed when an unmethylated version of ASLPhe was used. The second system studied consisted of the (+18)-(+44) fragment of the trans-activation response element of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (TAR RNA HIV-1) and a 9-amino-acid peptide of the trans-activator of transcription protein (Tat HIV-1) Tat(49-57)-NH2 (named Tat1 : Arg49-Lys-Lys-Arg52-Arg-Gln-Arg-Arg- Arg57-NH2). In the presence of Tat(49-57)-NH2 a significant shift of migration time of TAR from 18.66 min to 20.12 min was observed. Methylation of a residue Arg52→Arg(Me)2, crucial for TAR binding, strongly disrupted formation of the complex. Only at a high micromolar peptide concentration a poorly shaped, broad peak of the complex was observed. CE was found to be an efficient and sensitive method for the analysis of methylation effects on interaction of biomolecules.

DNA methylation
Opis:
DNA methylation is an epigenetic process affecting gene expression and chromatin organization. It can heritably silence or activate transcription of genes without any change in their nucleotide sequences, and for a long time was not recognized as an important regulatory mechanism. However, during the recent years it has been shown that improper methylation, especially hypermethylation of promoter regions, is observed in nearly all steps of tumorigenesis. Aberrant methylation is also the cause of several major pathologies including developmental disorders involving chromosome instabilities and mental retardation. A great progress has been made in our understanding of the enzymatic machinery involved in establishing and maintaining methylation patterns. This allowed for the development of new diagnostic tools and epigenetic treatment therapies. The new approaches hold a great potential; several inhibitors of DNA methyltransferases have already shown very promising therapeutic effects.

Opis:
The MTHFR gene within the human genome, codes for the synthesis of Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase enzyme, which reduces 5,10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, which in turn, is the major circulatory form of folate in the blood. Folate, in this form, among it’s other functions, is involved in reducing the homocysteine levels in the blood, whose elevated levels lead to Hyperhomocysteinemia, causing various major disorders. Mutations within the gene lead to impairment of gene function, in turn causing the homocysteine levels to rise. The C677T and A1298C mutations are the main causative agents for MTHFR gene disruption. During the course of the project, a total of 79 samples were analyzed for the presence of these mutations. The blood samples were first subjected to PCR, giving two separate DNA fragments each responsible for either of the conditions. The fragments were then subjected to RFLP analysis to detect the mutations. The results were finally given with respect to the risk factor faced by each individual based on a molecular diagnostic point of view.

Histone modifications are involved in the DNA damage response (DDR). Here, by utilizing an ELISA immunoassay we assessed the methylation at H3K9 (H3K9me2 and H3K9me3) in two cell lines with differential sensitivity to radiation-induced apoptosis, HeLa (sensitive) and MCF-7 (resistant). We found that DNA damage induction by γ-irradiation leads to considerable accumulation (up to 5-fold) of H3K9me2 and H3K9me3, but not of H4K20me3 (control modification) in MCF-7 cells (p<0.05). Interestingly, a lower dose (2 Gy) was more effective than 5 Gy. In HeLa cells a smaller effect (approx. 1.5-1.8-fold) was evident only at 5 Gy. In conclusion, our findings reveal that DNA damage leads to specific accumulation of H3K9me2 and H3K9me3 in a cell-type specific manner.

The aim of this article is to highlight the achievements of human behavioural genetics. It begins with a brief overview of the field of contemporary human behaviour genetics. Then, the general principles of behavioural genetics, research methods used, the concept of heritability and areas of rapid advancement in the field are identified. While classical twin studies have been a powerful tool to find heritability or the genetic correlation between different human behaviours, new tools are now available to help identify the genes responsible for individual differences. In particular, association studies and DNA methylation studies are crucial to advancing knowledge on the genetic basis of human behaviour as well as on the epigenetic factors that mediate genetic and environmental effects on behaviour. Several results on the heritability of human behaviour, relationships between genetic polymorphisms and behaviour as well as the consequences of DNA methylation are reported in this article.

Introduction and objective. The integrity, stability and composition of sperm chromatin are of great importance in the fertilizing potential of male gametes and their capacity to support normal embryonic development. In this study, the author presents the current state of knowledge about the sperm epigenetic profile and risk of cancer. Abbreviated description of the state of knowledge. The obtaining of pregnancy and the state of health of the baby depends on the quality of the genetic material of both the female and the male. Health behaviours and environmental factors directly affect the quality of sperm, as well as the human egg cell and, consequently, on the reproductive capabilities, the course of pregnancy and the state of the newborn. There exist two thoroughly investigated epigenetic modifications: DNA methylation and histone modifications. The process of DNA methylation can be also a fundamental factor contributing to the development of cancer, where epigenotype undergoes significant modifications. When considering numerous DNA aberrations in the male gamete, the most commonly encountered is DNA fragmentation, particularly in infertile subjects. Surprisingly, an intracytoplasmatic sperm injection study of mice oocytes, using spermatozoa with a high DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI), revealed that a considerable percentage of adults born as a result of this method, showed a significant increase in the incidence of abnormal behavioural tests, malformations, cancer and signs of premature aging. Summary. The issue of assisted procreation raises the need to look for an appropriate treatment for males with sperm chromatin abnormalities. As a result, the fight against smoking addiction becomes the obvious necessity. Moreover, the reasonable solution nowadays seems to be supplementation with micronutrients and folic acid. It has been proved that the process of DNA fragmentation is a phenomenon that intensifies over time. Therefore, there should be a pursuance for, as close as possible, to the moment of ejaculation, application of semen to reproductive techniques. Finally, epigenetic changes are suspected of being one of the factors responsible for the deterioration of male sperm parameters observed in recent decades.

Background. The mechanism of steroid resistance in children with the nephrotic syndrome is yet unknown. About 20% of patients demonstrate steroid unresponsiveness and progress to end stage renal disease. Aberrant SOCS3 and SOCS5 expression in steroid resistant and sensitive patients has previously been demonstrated. Here, we investigate genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of regulation of SOCS3 and SOCS5 transcription in nephrotic children. Methods. 76 patients with the nephrotic syndrome (40 steroid resistant and 36 steroid sensitive) and 33 matched controls were included in this study. We performed genotyping of a total of 34 single nucleotide polymorphisms for SOCS3 and SOCS5 promoters and evaluated their methylation status using MS-PCR and QMSP methods. Results. Steroid resistant patients had a significantly lower methylation of one region of SOCS3 promoter in comparison with steroid sensitive patients and controls (p < 0.0001). However, the relative methylation level in the steroid sensitive patients and controls differed significantly even before the first steroid dose (p = 0.001758). Other SOCS3 and SOCS5 promoter regions displayed no differences in methylation or were fully methylated/unmethylated in all study groups, showing site-specific methylation. The allele and genotype distribution for SOCS3 and SOCS5 markers did not differ statistically between the groups. Conclusions. We demonstrate an epigenetic mechanism of SOCS3 up-regulation in steroid resistant children with the nephrotic syndrome. The assessment of methylation/unmethylation of SOCS3 promoter might be an early marker for steroid responsiveness in NS patients.

Opis:
Most flowering plants, including important crops, require double fertilization to form an embryo and endosperm, which nourishes it. Independence from fertilization is a feature of apomictic plants that produce seeds, from which the plants that are clones of the mother plant arise. The phenomenon of apomixis occurs in some sexual plants under specific circumstances. Since the launch of a fertilization-independent mechanism is considered a useful tool for plant breeding, there have been efforts to artificially induce apomixis. We have been able to produce fertilization-independent endosperm in vitro in Arabidopsis over the last few years. This paper demonstrates the methods of improving the quality of the endosperm obtained using plant and mammalian steroid hormones. Additionally, it shows the study on the autonomous endosperm (AE) formation mechanism in vitro. This paper examines the effect of exogenous steroid hormones on unfertilized egg and central cell divisions in culture of unpollinated pistils of Arabidopsis Col-0 wild-type andfie-1 mutant. All media with hormones used (estrone, androsterone, progesterone, and epibrassinolide) stimulated central cell divisions and fertilization-independent endosperm development. The stages of AE development followed the pattern of Arabidopsis thaliana wild type after fertilization. Subsequent stages of AE were observed from 2-nuclear up to cellular with the most advanced occurring on medium with 24-epibrassinolide and progesterone. The significant influence of mammalian sex hormones on speed of AE development and differentiation was noticed. Using restriction analysis, the changes in methylation of FIE gene was established under in vitro condition. The authors of this paper showed that Arabidopsis thaliana has a high potency to fertilization-independent development.

Opis:
For determination of the relationships among significant gene markers, statistical analysis and association rule mining are considered as very useful protocols. The first protocol identifies the significant differentially expressed/methylated gene markers, whereas the second one produces the interesting relationships among them across different types of samples or conditions. In this article, statistical tests and association rule mining based approaches have been used on gene expression and DNA methylation datasets for the prediction of different classes of samples (viz., Uterine Leiomyoma/class-formersmoker and uterine myometrium/class-neversmoker). A novel rule-based classifier is proposed for this purpose. Depending on sixteen different rule-interestingness measures, we have utilized a Genetic Algorithm based rank aggregation technique on the association rules which are generated from the training set of data by Apriori association rule mining algorithm. After determining the ranks of the rules, we have conducted a majority voting technique on each test point to estimate its class-label through weighted-sum method. We have run this classifier on the combined dataset using 4-fold cross-validations, and thereafter a comparative performance analysis has been made with other popular rulebased classifiers. Finally, the status of some important gene markers has been identified through the frequency analysis in the evolved rules for the two class-labels individually to formulate the interesting associations among them.

Along with 5-methylcytosine (5-mC), a newly discovered constituent of mammalian DNA, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC), is the other modified base in higher organisms. In this study we detected 5-hmC in plant protoplast DNA and demonstrated its increasing content during the first 72 hrs. of protoplast cultivation. In contrast to 5-hmC, the amount of 5-mC decreased during protoplast cultivation. It was also found that 5-hmC did not primarily arise as a product of oxidative DNA damage following protoplast culture.

Opis:
DNA methylation is a reversible epigenetic modification that plays a crucial role in transcriptional gene silencing. Both excessive (hypermethylation) and reduced DNA methylation (hypomethylation) can contribute to the disturbance of the proper course of many important processes in the human body. The aim of the study was to discuss the relationship between methyl nutrients and the DNA methylation process in the course of selected diseases in adults. Methyl nutrients include folates (vitamin B9), riboflavin (vitamin B2), cobalamin (vitamin B12), pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and choline (vitamin B4), as well as methionine and betaine. These substances play the role of both substrates and cofactors in transformations related to one-carbon metabolism. The deficiency of methyl nutrients in the body can lead to disturbances in SAM synthesis, which is the primary donor of methyl groups in the DNA methylation process. However, the mechanism explaining the discussed relationship has not been fully explained so far. Both the concentration in the body and the intake of folate and vitamin B12 in the diet can, to some extent, have an effect on the level of DNA methylation in healthy people. In comparison, data on the effect of excessive intake of vitamin B12 in the diet on the risk of cancer development are inconsistent. An adequate betaine and choline intake in the diet might not only affect the overall improvement of the DNA methylation profile, but, to some extent, also reduce the risk of cancer, the effect of which can depend on the content of folic acid in the body. Research results on the effect of supplementation of methyl nutrients on the DNA methylation process are inconclusive. It is therefore necessary to conduct further research in this area to draw clear conclusions

Opis:
Methylation of specific lysine residues in histone tails has been proposed to function as a stable epigenetic marker that directs biological functions altering chromatin structure. Recent findings have implicated alteration in heterochromatin formation as a contributing factor in cancer development. In order to verify whether changes in the overall level of H3K4 histone methylation could be involved in oral squamous carcinoma, the levels of H3K4me1, me2 and me3 were measured in oral squamous carcinoma, leukoplakias and normal tissues. The levels of H3K4me2 and me3 were significantly different in oral squamous cell carcinoma in comparison with normal tissue: the level of H3K4me2 was increased while that of H3K4me3 decreased. No significant differences could be found between the two types of tissues in the level of H3K4me1. A similar trend was found in the leukoplakias that appeared more like the pathological than normal tissue. These results support the idea that alteration of chromatin structure could contribute to oncogenic potential.

Opis:
Background: Folate metabolism dysfunctions can result in DNA hypomethylation and abnormal chromosome segregation. Two common polymorphisms of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) encoding gene (C677T and A1298C) reduce MTHFR activity, but when associated with aneuploidy, the results are conflicting. Turner Syndrome (TS) is an interesting model for investigating the association between MTHFR gene polymorphisms and nondisjunction because of the high frequency of chromosomal mosaicism in this syndrome. Objective: To investigate the association of MTHFR gene C677T and A1298C polymorphisms in TS patients and their mothers and to correlate these polymorphisms with maternal risk of TS offspring. Subjects and Methods: MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms were genotyped in 33 TS patients, their mothers and 15 healthy females with their mothers as controls using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and sequencing technique. Results: Genotype and allele frequencies of both C677T and A1298C were not significantly different between TS cases and controls. There were no significant differences in C677T genotype distribution between the TS mothers and controls (p=1). The MTHFR 1298AA and 1298AC genotypes were significantly increased in TS mothers Vs. control mothers (p=0.002). The C allele frequency of the A1298C polymorphism was significantly different between the TS mothers and controls (p=0.02). The association of A1298C gene polymorphism in TS patients was found to increase with increasing age of both mothers (p=0.026) and fathers (p=0.044) of TS cases. Conclusion: Our findings suggest a strong association between maternal MTHFR A1298C and risk of TS in Egypt.

Opis:
African swine fever (ASF) is an acute, hemorrhagic, and devastating viral infectious disease that causes important economic losses to the swine industry. Currently, there are no effective vaccines or drugs available. Epigenetic mechanisms, especially cytosine methylation of cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) islands, have a significant impact on the life cycle of several viruses. Hence, drugs targeting DNA methylation may potentially be used for the treatment of ASF. Here, we selected the inner core, core shell, inner membrane, capsid, and external envelope membrane, to analyze the characteristics of CpG islands in the ASF virus (ASFV) genomes. Furthermore, we analyzed the promoters and CpG islands in the upstream regions of these genes. Results showed that the CpG islands of seven genes were conserved in the genomes of two genotype of ASFV strains, whereas the CpG islands of other genes were relatively conserved (ASFV strains differed mainly in the quantity of CpG islands). The different distribution of CpG islands in the genomes of different ASFV strains may affect their methylation status, which may in turn affect the regulation of viral gene expression, leading to different clinical outcomes. In addition, the predicted promoter regions based on the upstream sequences of most genes overlapped with CpG island positions. Methylation of the binding sites of the promoter regions inhibits the binding of the transcription factors to the promoters, thus inhibiting the activation of the promoters and limiting the synthesis of viral proteins. The results of this study provide a basis for exploring new antiviral therapeutic strategies from an epigenetic perspective.

Opis:
Objective: To explore the association of the methylation status of MGMT and hMLH1 with chromosome damage induced by vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). Materials and Methods: Methylation of MGMT and hMLH1 was measured in 101 VCM-exposed workers by methylation-specifi c PCR. Chromosome damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes was measured by the cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay. The subjects were divided into chromosome damaged and non-damaged groups based on the normal reference value of micronuclei frequencies determined for two control groups. Results: MGMT promoter methylation was detectable in 5 out of 49 chromosome damaged subjects, but not in the chromosome non-damaged subjects; there was a signifi cant difference in MGMT methylation between the two groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions: We detected aberrant promoter methylation of MGMT in a small number of chromosome damaged VCM-exposed workers, but not in the chromosome non-damaged subjects. This preliminary observation warrants further investigation in a larger study.

Opis:
Ewolucyjnie każdy żywy organizm związany jest ze swym naturalnym środowiskiem. Dostosowanie się do otoczenia i jego zmian, by przeżyć, zawsze towarzyszyło człowiekowi. Dbałość o pokarm, ale nie przejadanie się, było przepustką do obecnego i przyszłego życia. Przeżyły te gatunki, które dostosowały pokarm do potrzeb swojego organizmu. Wśród Homo sapiens przeżył gatunek Homo sapiens sapiens, kromaniończyk, gdyż dzięki wysokiej inteligencji dbał o jakość pożywienia. Współczesne technologie żywności i pęd życia wprowa¬dził degradację ludzkiej natury. Powstała niezgodność między genami i pożywieniem. Nie zawsze wyżywienie służy organizmowi człowieka i nie zawsze umożliwia jego osobowościowe, kreatywne trwanie w środowisku naturalnym. Aby działać i tworzyć najpierw trzeba się właściwie odżywiać. Kształtowanie osobowości wsparte jest rodzajem, jakością i wartością pożywienia.
From evolution standpoint, every living organism is bound with its environment. Adaptation to the environment and its changes had always accompanied Man. Taking care of food but not overeating was a pass to current and future life. The species which did not overeat, had survived. Amongst Homo sapiens, Homo sapiens sapiens and Homo Cro-Magnon survived, because having future in mind, it took care of the food’s quality. Contemporary food technologies and rate of living introduced degeneration of human nature. A chaos had occurred between genes and food. Food is not always in benefit of human organism and its personal, creative existence in natural environment. To act and create you must be first full. Shaping the personality is supported by the type, quality and value of food.

Opis:
Epigenetics represents the mechanisms that influence the regulation and modification of the expression of genetic material not related to the alterations in DNA sequences. These mechanisms include both DNA methylation and histone modifications. In the present article, we review current views on the role of aberrations of DNA hyper- and hypomethylation processes and the acetylation of histones, associated with genes that control the cell cycle, cell differentiation, DNA repair, apoptosis, cell signaling, angiogenesis, metabolism of xenobiotics and invasion, in the pathogenesis of melanoma. In addition, new strategies for treatment of melanoma associated with epigenetics are presented.
Przez pojęcie epigenetyka należy rozumieć mechanizmy wpływające na regulację i modyfi kację ekspresji materiału genetycznego, jednocześnie niezmieniające sekwencji nukleotydów. Mechanizmy te obejmują zarówno metylację DNA, jak i modyfikacje histonów. W artykule dokonano przeglądu aktualnych poglądów dotyczących zaburzeń procesów hiperihipometylacji DNA oraz acetylacji histonów w patogenezie czerniaka, związanych z genami kontrolującymi cykl komórkowy, różnicowanie, naprawę DNA, apoptozę, sygnalizację komórkową, angiogenezę, metabolizm ksenobiotyków i powstawanie przerzutów. Ponadto przedstawiono nowe strategie leczenia czerniaka związane z epigenetyką.

Opis:
Epigenetics studies the inherited changes in a phenotype or in expression of genes caused by other mechanisms, without changing the nucleotide sequence of DNA. The most distinguished epigenetic tools are: modifications of histones, enzymatic DNA methylation, and gene silencing mediated by small RNAs (miRNA, siRNA). The resulting m5C residues in DNA substantially affect the cooperation of proteins with DNA. It is organized by hormones and aging-related alterations, one of the mechanisms controlling sex and cellular differentiation. DNA methylation regulates all genetic functions: repair, recombination, DNA replication, as well as transcription. Distortions in DNA methylation and other epigenetic signals lead to diabetes, premature aging, mental dysfunctions, and cancer.

Opis:
In this work the changes in the fluidity of liposome membranes caused by alanine and butyrine derivatives (Ac-Ala-NMe2 and Ac-Abu-NMe2) were investigated. Liposomes were obtained in the process of egg yolk lecithin (EYL) sonication. The concentration of the admixture in the proportion to EYL varied from 0 to 25% mole. The electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy was used with two different spins probes. Each spin probe penetrates different regions of liposome membrane. The TEMPO probe occurs both in the hydrophobic part of the membrane and in the water environment what allows to determine the spectroscopic parameter F of division of this probe into the membrane and its water surrounding. DOXYL is localized in the central part of the lipid bilayer and is used to obtain the spectroscopic parameter τ – rotation correlation time – whose value gives information about fluidity changes in the middle of the lipid bilayer. The study indicated that the tested as admixtures N-methylated model peptides significantly changed the fluidity of liposome membranes. The dynamic of this process depends both on amino acids derivative and on the membrane region. Both studied compounds increased the fluidity of the surface layer of liposome membrane. At the same time, butyrine derivative caused the stiffening of the middle part of liposome bilayer, but alanine derivative slightly increased the fluidity of this region.

Opis:
Idarubicin is an anthracycline antibiotic used in cancer therapy. Mitoxantrone is an anthracycline analog with presumed better antineoplastic activity and lesser toxicity. Using the alkaline comet assay we showed that the drugs at 0.01-10 μM induced DNA damage in normal human lymphocytes. The effect induced by idarubicin was more pronounced than by mitoxantrone (P < 0.001). The cells treated with mitoxantrone at 1 μM were able to repair damage to their DNA within a 30-min incubation, whereas the lymphocytes exposed to idarubicin needed 180 min. Since anthracyclines are known to produce free radicals, we checked whether reactive oxygen species might be involved in the observed DNA damage. Catalase, an enzyme inactivating hydrogen peroxide, decreased the extent of DNA damage induced by idarubicin, but did not affect the extent evoked by mitoxantrone. Lymphocytes exposed to the drugs and treated with endonuclease III or formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg), enzymes recognizing and nicking oxidized bases, displayed a higher level of DNA damage than the untreated ones. 3-Methyladenine-DNA glycosylase II (AlkA), an enzyme recognizing and nicking mainly methylated bases in DNA, increased the extent of DNA damage caused by idarubicin, but not that induced by mitoxantrone. Our results indicate that the induction of secondary malignancies should be taken into account as side effects of the two drugs. Direct strand breaks, oxidation and methylation of the DNA bases can underlie the DNA-damaging effect of idarubicin, whereas mitoxantrone can induce strand breaks and modification of the bases, including oxidation. The observed in normal lymphocytes much lesser genotoxicity of mitoxantrone compared to idarubicin should be taken into account in planning chemotherapeutic strategies.

Opis:
Methylation at position 5 of cytosine (Cyt) at the CpG sequences leading to formation of 5-methyl-cytosine (m5Cyt) is an important element of epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Modification of the normal methylation pattern, unique to each organism, leads to the development of pathological processes and diseases, including cancer. Therefore, quantification of the DNA methylation and analysis of changes in the methylation pattern is very important from a practical point of view and can be used for diagnostic purposes, as well as monitoring of the treatment progress. In this paper we present a new method for quantification of 5-methyl-2'deoxycytidine (m5C) in the DNA. The technique is based on conversion of m5C into fluorescent 3,N4-etheno-5-methyl-2'deoxycytidine (εm5C) and its identification by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The assay was used to evaluate m5C concentration in DNA of calf thymus and peripheral blood of cows bred under different conditions. This approach can be applied for measuring of 5-methylcytosine in cellular DNA from different cells and tissues.
