Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

32.8K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Epigenetic Regulation01:37

Epigenetic Regulation

3.0K
Epigenetic changes alter the physical structure of the DNA without changing the genetic sequence and often regulate whether genes are turned on or off. This regulation ensures that each cell produces only proteins necessary for its function. For example, proteins that promote bone growth are not produced in muscle cells. Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in healthy development. Conversely, precisely regulated epigenetic mechanisms are disrupted in diseases like cancer.

Chromatin Modification in iPS Cells01:32

Chromatin Modification in iPS Cells

1.6K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Epigenetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK) is a nuclear regulator linked to gene expression.
  • IPMK modulates histone acetylation by activating histone deacetylases 1/3 (HDAC1/3).
  • HDAC1/3 interact with DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), influencing DNA methylation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of IPMK genetic depletion on DNA methylation patterns.
  • To identify genes affected by IPMK-mediated DNA methylation changes.
  • To explore the functional consequences of altered DNA methylation in IPMK-depleted cells.

Main Methods:

  • Long-read Oxford Nanopore sequencing for genome-wide methylation analysis (>28 million CpG sites).
  • RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) to assess gene expression levels.
  • Bioinformatic integration of methylation and gene expression data.

Main Results:

  • IPMK deletion resulted in over 22,000 differentially methylated regions (DMRs).
  • 35 genes exhibited an inverse correlation between promoter methylation and gene expression.
  • Genes involved in tissue remodeling and hematopoiesis were significantly affected, including MMP14 and LIF, with decreased mRNA and protein expression.

Conclusions:

  • IPMK is identified as a novel regulator of DNA methylation.
  • IPMK depletion impacts DNA methylation dynamics, affecting gene expression.
  • Future research will explore the role of IPMK's kinase activity in these epigenetic modifications.
