Abstract The hallmark of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is Philadelphia chromosome t(9:22), which leads to formation BCR-ABL1 fusion oncogene. induces genetic instability, causing the progression chronic myeloid leukemia from manageable Phase (CP-CML) accelerated phase (AP-CML) and ultimately lethal blast crisis (BC-CML). precise mechanism responsible for CML are not well comprehended, there a lack specific molecular biomarkers advanced CML. Mutations in transcription factors (TFs) have significant role cancer initiation, relapses, invasion, metastasis, resistance anti-cancer drugs. Recently, our group reported association novel factor, ZNF208, with was dire need clinical validation this biomarker. Therefore, aim study clinically validate mutated ZNF208 as biomarker larger cohort AP- BC-CML patients using control-case studies.

Approximately 45% of the human genome is comprised transposable elements (TEs), also known as mobile genetic elements. However, their biological function remains largely unknown. Among them, retrotransposons are particularly abundant, and some copies still capable mobilization within through RNA intermediates. This review focuses on life cycle summarizes regulatory mechanisms impacts cellular processes. Retrotransposons generally epigenetically silenced in somatic cells, but transcriptionally reactivated under certain conditions, such tumorigenesis, development, stress, ageing, potentially leading to instability. We explored dual nature genomic parasites elements, focusing roles diversity innate immunity. Furthermore, we discuss how host factors regulate retrotransposon cDNA intermediates binding, modification, degradation. The interplay between machinery provides insight into complex regulation potential for dysregulation cause aberrant responses inflammation autoimmune diseases.

Abstract Background Gene expression divergence between populations and individuals can emerge from genetic variations within the genes and/or in cis regulatory elements. Since epigenetic modifications regulate gene expression, it is conceivable that elements also be a source of divergence. Results In this study, we compared histone acetylation (namely, H3K9ac) profiles two mouse strains different subspecies origin, C57BL/6 J (B6) MSM/Ms (MSM), as well their F1 hybrids. This identified 319 regions strain-specific acetylation, about half which were observed alleles While allele-specific presence interferon factor 3 (IRF3) binding sequence was associated with revealed B6-specific insertions short 3′ fragment LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposon occur or proximal to MSM-specific acetylated regions. Furthermore, even hyperacetylated domains, flanking non-polymorphic L1 fragments hypoacetylated, suggesting general activity induce hypoacetylation. Indeed, confirmed region by three Krüppel-associated box domain-containing zinc finger proteins (KZFPs), interact deacetylases. These results suggest insertion would excluded gene- acetylation-rich natural selection. Finally, mRNA-seq analysis for hybrids carried out, disclosed link promoter/enhancer expression. Conclusions study number changes have changed levels during evolution subspecies, part changes. Insertions very decrease level neighboring thereby been counter-selected gene-rich regions, may explain long-standing mystery discrete genomic distribution LINEs SINEs.

Repression of retrotransposition is crucial for the successful fitness a mammalian organism. The domesticated transposon protein L1TD1, derived from LINE-1 ORF1p, an RNA-binding that expressed only in some cancers and early embryogenesis. In human embryonic stem cells it found to be essential maintaining pluripotency. cancer, L1TD1 expression highly correlative with malignancy progression as such considered potential prognostic factor tumors. However, its molecular role cancer remains largely unknown. Our findings reveal DNA hypomethylation induces HAP1 tumor cells. depletion significantly modulates both proteome transcriptome thereby reduces cell viability. Notably, associates transcripts interacts ORF1p protein, facilitating retrotransposition. data suggest collaborates ancestral RNA chaperone, ensuring efficient retrotransposons, rather than directly impacting abundance targets. this way, might have important not during development but also tumorigenesis.

During the metagenomics era, high-throughput sequencing efforts both in mice and humans indicate that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) constitute a significant fraction of transcribed genome. past decades, regulatory role these transcripts along with their interactions other molecules have been extensively characterized. However, study long (lncRNAs), an ncRNA class transcript lengths exceed 200 nucleotides, revealed certain are transcriptional “by-products”, while loci exert downstream functions through RNA-independent mechanisms. Such mechanisms include, but not limited to, chromatin complex promoter-enhancer competition schemes involve underlying locus or without its nascent transcription, mediating even exclusive roles regulation target genes mammals. Interestingly, such often drive pathological manifestations, including oncogenesis. In this review, we summarize selective examples lncRNAs regulate independently produced transcripts.

Abstract Most deaths in breast cancer patients are attributed to metastasis, and lung metastasis is associated with a particularly poor prognosis; therefore it imperative identify potential target for intervention. The transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) pathway plays vital role which Smad3 the key mediator performs specific functions by binding different cofactors. However, cofactors involved have not yet been identified. This study first establishes interactome of cells identifies ZNF8 as novel cofactor. Furthermore, results reveal that closely prognosis, specifically facilitates TGF‐β pathway‐mediated participating multiple processes. Mechanistically, binds enhance H3K4me3 modification promote expression signature genes recruiting SMYD3. SMYD3 inhibition BCI121 effectively prevents ZNF8‐mediated metastasis. Overall, cofactor TGF‐β/Smad3 promotes introduces therapeutic strategies early management

CCR4-NOT regulates multiple steps in gene regulation, including transcription, mRNA decay, protein ubiquitylation, and translation. It has been well studied budding yeast; however, relatively less is known about its regulation functions mammals. To characterize the of human complex, we developed a rapid auxin-induced degron system to deplete CNOT1 (the scaffold complex) CNOT4 (E3 ubiquitin ligase) cell culture. Transcriptome-wide measurements gene-expression revealed that depleting changed several thousand transcripts, wherein most mRNAs were increased resulted global decrease decay rates. In contrast what was observed CNOT1-depleted cells, depletion only modestly RNA steady-state levels and, surprisingly, led acceleration decay. further investigate role used transient transcriptome sequencing (TT-seq) measure ongoing synthesis. Depletion either subunit synthesis genes. genome, reduction KRAB-Zinc-Finger-proteins (KZNFs) genes, especially those clustered on chromosome 19, observed. KZNFs are transcriptional repressors retro-transposable elements (rTEs), consistent with decreased expression, significant activation rTEs, mainly Long interspersed Nuclear Elements (LINEs). Our data reveal expression silences retrotransposons across genome by maintaining KZNF expression. These establish as regulator have identified novel mammalian-specific function suppression rTEs.
