Overview of Regeneration and Repair

5.6K
Regeneration and repair processes are critical in healing damages caused by injury, disease, and aging. In regeneration, the damaged tissue is entirely replaced with new growth that restores the original architecture and function. In contrast, tissue repair usually results in a fixed tissue architecture involving scar formation. Scars generally do not reestablish tissue function and may also exhibit structural abnormalities at the injury site.

Histone Modification

16.7K
The histone proteins have a flexible N-terminal tail extending out from the nucleosome. These histone tails are often subjected to post-translational modifications such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination. Particular combinations of these modifications form “histone codes” that influence the chromatin folding and tissue-specific gene expression.
Acetylation
The enzyme histone acetyltransferase adds acetyl group to the histones. Another enzyme, histone...

Chromatin Modification in iPS Cells

2.2K
Chromatin modification alters gene expression; therefore, scientists can add histone-modifying enzymes, histone variants, and chromatin remodeling complexes to somatic cells to aid reprogramming into pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.
Compact chromatin makes reprogramming difficult. Enzymes, such as histone demethylases and acetyltransferases, are often added during reprogramming to loosen the chromatin, making the DNA more accessible to transcription factors. Molecules that inhibit histone...

Histone Variants at the Centromere02:30

Histone Variants at the Centromere

5.2K
Histone variants are the histone proteins with structural and sequence variations. These variants may be regarded as “mutant” forms that replace their canonical histone counterparts in the nucleosomes. Specific post-translational modifications on the histone variants enable further chromatin complexity and regulate tissue-specific gene expression. The most common histone variants are from histone H2A, H2B, and linker histone H1 families. However, several variants of histone H3...

Liver Regeneration01:24

Liver Regeneration

4.6K
The liver is an important organ in vertebrates that plays an essential role in metabolism. It is also responsible for storing and redistributing nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in the body. Additionally, the liver releases bile salts which are critical for digesting food and eliminating toxic metabolites from the body.
Cells of Liver
The liver comprises four major types of cells— hepatocytes, stellate, Kupffer, and sinusoidal endothelial cells. The hepatocytes are...

Area of Science:

  • Epigenetics and Developmental Biology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Chromatin regulation is crucial for animal development.
  • The role of chromatin structural changes in tissue regeneration remains largely unknown.
  • Zebrafish can regenerate heart muscle through cardiomyocyte division after injury.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the extent of chromatin structural changes during zebrafish heart regeneration.
  • To identify cell-type-specific histone replacement profiles in cardiomyocytes (CMs) during regeneration.
  • To understand the regulatory programs underlying CM proliferation and heart tissue repair.

Main Methods:

  • Generated transgenic zebrafish expressing a biotinylatable H3.3 histone variant in CMs.
  • Derived cell-type-specific profiles of histone replacement using genome-wide H3.3 profiling.
  • Utilized transgenic reporter lines to assess enhancer activity and gene expression during regeneration and in response to injury/Neuregulin1.
  • Analyzed enriched sequence motifs and predicted transcription factor binding sites.

Main Results:

  • Identified a program of putative enhancers with revised H3.3 occupancy during regeneration.
  • Observed a genome-wide reduction of H3.3 occupancy at promoters.
  • Demonstrated that H3.3-enriched elements direct gene expression in subpopulations of CMs.
  • Found increased H3.3 enrichment and enhancer activity in CMs undergoing proliferation due to injury or Neuregulin1 stimulation.
  • Discovered enriched consensus sequence motifs with predicted transcription factor binding sites in regeneration-responsive genomic regions.

Conclusions:

  • Genome-wide H3.3 profiling can reveal cell-type-specific regulatory programs in tissue regeneration.
  • Specific patterns of histone H3.3 replacement at enhancers and promoters are associated with cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration in zebrafish.
  • This study provides insights into the epigenetic mechanisms driving regenerative processes in the heart.
