Abstract Chromatin has distinct three-dimensional (3D) architectures important in key biological processes, such as cell cycle, replication, differentiation, and transcription regulation. In turn, aberrant 3D structures play a vital role developing abnormalities diseases cancer. This review discusses chromatin (topologically associating domain, lamina-associated enhancer–promoter interactions) corresponding structural protein elements mediating interactions [CCCTC-binding factor, polycomb group protein, cohesin, Brother of the Regulator Imprinted Sites (BORIS) protein] with highlight their associations We also summarise recent development technologies bioinformatics approaches to study gene expression regulation, including crosslinking proximity ligation methods bulk population (ChIA-PET HiChIP) or single-molecule resolution (ChIA-drop), other than ligation, GAM, SPRITE, super-resolution microscopy techniques.

Abstract Hematologic malignancies are one of the most common cancers, and incidence has been rising in recent decades. The clinical molecular features hematologic highly heterogenous, some incurable, challenging treatment, prognosis patients. However, hematopoiesis oncogenesis profoundly affected by epigenetic regulation. Studies have found that methylation-related mutations, abnormal methylation profiles DNA, histone deacetylase expression recurrent leukemia lymphoma. Furthermore, hypomethylating agents inhibitors effective to treat acute myeloid T-cell lymphomas, indicating regulation is indispensable oncogenesis. Epigenetic mainly includes DNA modifications, noncoding RNA-mediated targeting, regulates various DNA-based processes. This review presents role writers, readers, erasers methylation, acetylation malignancies. In addition, this provides influence microRNAs long RNAs on implication targeted treatment discussed. comprehensively change function each regulator normal oncogenic innovative epigenetic-targeted practice.

Abstract Hydrophobic tagging (HyT) is a potential therapeutic strategy for targeted protein degradation (TPD). Norbornene was discovered as an unprecedented hydrophobic tag in this study and used to degrade the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion by linking it ALK inhibitors. The most promising degrader, Hyt‐9 , potently reduced levels through Hsp70 ubiquitin−proteasome system (UPS) vitro without compensatory upregulation of . Furthermore, exhibited significant tumor‐inhibiting effect vivo with moderate oral bioavailability. More importantly, norbornene can also be intractable enhancer zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) when tagged EZH2 inhibitor tazemetostat. Thus, discovery novel tags shows promise future development TPD technology.

Rationale: The role of histone methylation modifications in renal disease, particularly sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the potential involvement methyltransferase zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) AKI and its impact on apoptosis inflammation. Methods: We first examined expression EZH2 (LPS injection) mice LPS-stimulated tubular epithelial cells. next constructed knockout further confirm effects inflammatory response AKI. And level cells can be reflected by detecting chemokines chemotaxis macrophages. Subsequently, we knocked-down again performed Chromatin Immunoprecipitation sequencing screen out target genes regulated enrichment pathway. Then confirmed gene regulatory pathway vivo vitro experiments. Experimental results were finally using another model (cecal perforation ligation). Results: found that was upregulated silencing could reduce decreasing showed significantly reduced inflammation macrophage infiltration. immunoprecipitation polymerase chain reaction identified Sox9 as a EZH2. enriched promoter Sox9.

Abstract The primary reason for high mortality rates among cancer patients is metastasis, where tumor cells migrate through the bloodstream from original site to other parts of body. Recent advancements in technology have significantly enhanced our comprehension mechanisms behind bloodborne spread circulating (CTCs). One critical process, DNA methylation, regulates gene expression and chromosome stability, thus maintaining dynamic equilibrium Global hypomethylation locus-specific hypermethylation are examples changes methylation patterns that pivotal carcinogenesis. This comprehensive review first provides an overview various processes contribute formation CTCs, including epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), immune surveillance, colonization. We then conduct in-depth analysis how modifications within CTCs impact each these stages during CTC dissemination. Furthermore, we explored potential clinical implications with cancer. By understanding epigenetic modifications, can gain insights into metastatic process identify new biomarkers early detection, prognosis, targeted therapies. aims bridge gap between basic research application, highlighting significance context metastasis offering avenues improving patient outcomes.

Abstract Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and disease burden expected to increase globally throughout next several decades, with majority cancer-related deaths occurring in metastatic disease. Cancers exhibit known hallmarks that endow them increased survival proliferative capacities, frequently as a result de-stabilizing mutations. However, genomic features resolve clones from primary tumors are not yet well-characterized, no mutational landscape has been identified predictive metastasis. Further, many cancers mutation signature. This suggests larger role for non-mutational genome re-organization promoting cancer evolution dissemination. In this review, we highlight current critical needs understanding cell state transitions clonal selection advantages cells. We examine links between epigenetic states, structure, misregulation tumor suppressors oncogenes, discuss how recent technologies domain-scale regulation have leveraged more complete picture oncogenic potential.

Abstract Epigenetic regulation is reported to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of various kidney diseases, including renal cell carcinoma, acute injury, fibrosis, diabetic nephropathy, and lupus nephritis. However, epigenetic calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal deposition-induced injury remains unclear. Our study demonstrated that upregulation enhancer zeste homolog 2 (EZH2)-mediated ferroptosis facilitates CaOx-induced injury. CaOx deposition promoted vivo vitro. Usage liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1), inhibitor, mitigated damage. Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing, immunohistochemical western blotting analyses revealed EZH2 was upregulated stone patients, mice, oxalate-stimulated HK-2 cells. Experiments involving knockout, vitro knockdown, GSK-126 (an inhibitor) treatment confirmed protective effects inhibition on ferroptosis. Mechanistically, results RNA-sequencing chromatin immunoprecipitation assays regulates by suppressing solute carrier family 7, member 11 (SLC7A11) expression through trimethylation histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) modification. Additionally, SOX4 regulated directly modulating expression. Thus, this EZH2/H3K27me3-mediated suppression SLC7A11. Graphical
