Abstract:
ABSTRACT CpG island methylation plays an important role in normal cellular processes, such as genomic imprinting and X-chromosome inactivation, as well as in abnormal processes, such as neoplasia. However, the dynamics of de novo CpG island methylation, during which a CpG island is converted from an unmethylated, active state to a densely methylated, inactive state, are largely unknown. It is unclear whether the development of de novo CpG island methylation is a progressive process, in which a subset of CpG sites are initially methylated with a subsequent increase in methylation density, or a

Abstract:
The promoter region of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitorp15INK4Bcontains a CpG island that is hypermethylated in many hematologic malignancies. To explore the relationship between patterns of methylation and gene transcription, we used bisulfite genomic sequencing to obtain a detailed analysis of methylation in acute leukemia, leukemia cell lines, and normal lymphocytes. The entire CpG island region of p15 was largely devoid of methylation in normal lymphocytes, but methylation of varying density was found in primary acute leukemia. Methylation density was generally conserved between the a

Recent studies showing a correlation between the levels of DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase (DNA MTase) enzyme activity and tumorigenicity have implicated this enzyme in the carcinogenic process. Moreover, hypermethylation of CpG island-containing promoters is associated with the inactivation of genes important to tumor initiation and progression. One proposed role for DNA MTase in tumorigenesis is therefore a direct role in the de novo methylation of these otherwise unmethylated CpG islands. In this study, we sought to determine whether increased levels of DNA MTase could directly affect C

ABSTRACT The mechanisms of aberrant CpG island methylation in oncogenesis are not fully characterized. In particular, little is known about the mechanisms of inhibition of CpG island methylation. Here we show that sal-like 3 (SALL3) is a novel inhibitory factor for DNA methyltransferase 3 alpha (DNMT3A). SALL3 binds to DNMT3A by a direct interaction between the double zinc finger motif of SALL3 and the PWWP domain of DNMT3A. SALL3 expression reduces DNMT3A-mediated CpG island methylation in cell culture and in vitro. CpG island methylation is enhanced in SALL3-depleted cells. Consistently, DNM

Tumor-associated aberrant silencing of CpG island-containing genes has been correlated with increased cytosine methylation, a "closed" chromatin structure, and exclusion of transcription factor binding in the CpG island/promoter regions of affected genes. Given the lack of understanding of what constitutes a closed chromatin structure in CpG islands, however, it has been difficult to assess the relationship among cytosine methylation, chromatin structure, and inappropriate gene silencing.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT De novo methylation of CpG islands within the promoters of eukaryotic genes is often associated with their transcriptional repression, yet the methylation of CpG islands located downstream of promoters does not block transcription. We investigated the kinetics of mRNA induction, demethylation, and remethylation of the p16promoter and second-exon CpG islands in T24 cells after 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) treatment to explore the relationship between CpG island methylation and gene transcription. The rates of remethylation of both CpG islands were associated with time but not wit

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Nonmethylated CpG islands are generally located at the 5′ ends of genes, but a CpG island in the mouse major histocompatibility complex class II I-Aβ gene is remote from the promoter and covers exon 2. We have found that this CpG island includes a novel intronic promoter that is active in embryonic and germ cells. The resulting transcript potentially encodes a severely truncated protein which would lack the signal peptide and external β1 domains. The functional significance of the internal CpG island may be to facilitate gene conversion, thereby sustaining the high level of polymorphi

Abstract:
Aberrant DNA methylation is the most common molecular lesion of the cancer cell. Neither gene mutations (nucleotide changes, deletions, recombinations) nor cytogenetic abnormalities are as common in human tumors as DNA methylation alterations. The most studied change of DNA methylation in neoplasms is the silencing of tumor suppressor genes by CpG island promoter hypermethylation, which targets genes such as p16INK4a, BRCA1, and hMLH1. There is a profile of CpG island hypermethylation according to the tumor type, and genes silent by methylation represent all cellular pathways. The introduction

Abstract:
Background: Gene silencing by CpG island hypermethylation often plays a role in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. Certain regions of the genome, called high confidence differentially-methylated regions (DMRs), are consistently hypermethylated across numerous patient samples. Methods: In this study, we used bioinformatics and bisulfite PCR sequencing of HCT-116 cells to investigate methylation levels at DMRs in the promoters of six genes: DKK3, EN1, MiR34b, SDC2, SPG20, and TLX1. We then investigated whether the anti-cancer drug decitabine, had a demethylating effect at these promoter region

HPV infection is one of the most commonly transmitted diseases among the global population. While it can be asymptomatic, non-genital HPV infection often gives rise to cutaneous warts, which are benign growths arising from the epidermal layer of the skin. This study aimed to produce a global analysis of the ways in which cutaneous wart formation affected the CpG island methylome. The Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip microarray was utilized in order to quantitatively interrogate CpG island methylation in genomic DNA extracted from 24 paired wart and normal skin samples.

ABSTRACT Epigenetic inactivation of the RASSF1A tumor suppressor by CpG island methylation was frequently detected in cancer. However, the mechanisms of this aberrant DNA methylation are unknown. In the RASSF1A promoter, we characterized four Sp1 sites, which are frequently methylated in cancer. We examined the functional relationship between DNA methylation, histone modification, Sp1 binding, and RASSF1A expression in proliferating human mammary epithelial cells. With increasing passages, the transcription of RASSF1A was dramatically silenced. This inactivation was associated with deacetylati

Abstract:
Abstract Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in infants (i.e. children &lt;1 year of age) is characterized by a high incidence of rearrangements of the MLL gene (∼80%) which is associated with a poor prognosis. The most frequent MLL rearrangements in infant ALL are translocations t(4;11), t(11;19) and t(9;11). Recently, gene expression profiling has established MLL rearranged leukemia as a unique type of leukemia (denoted MLL), that is clearly distinguishable from other ALL subtypes. Currently, these gene expression profiles are slowly revealing important genetic properties underlying this aggr

Abstract INTRO/OBJECTIVE Glioblastoma (GBM) and MGMT have been reported to have sexual dimorphism. In multiple studies, including our own population-based cohort analysis, females had higher rates of MGMT methylation and improved methylation-associated progression-free and overall survival outcomes compared to males. MGMT methylation is assessed as a mean of five cysteine-phosphate-guanine (CpG1-5) islands (CpG methylation is highly inversely correlated with MGMT RNA expression). The primary objective of this study was to investigate differences in mean and individual CpG methylation by sex. M
