Environmentally induced phenotypes and DNA methylation: how to deal with unpredictable conditions until the next generation and after

Organisms often respond to environmental changes by producing alternative phenotypes. Epigenetic processes such as DNA methylation may contribute to environmentally induced phenotypic variation by modifying gene expression. Changes in DNA methylation, unlike DNA mutations, can be influenced by the environment; they are stable at the time scale of an individual and present different levels of heritability. These characteristics make DNA methylation a potentially important molecular process to respond to environmental change. The aim of this review is to present the implications of DNA methylation on phenotypic variations driven by environmental changes. More specifically, we explore epigenetic concepts concerning phenotypic change in response to the environment and heritability of DNA methylation, namely the Baldwin effect and genetic accommodation. Before addressing this point, we report major differences in DNA methylation across taxa and the role of this modification in producing and maintaining environmentally induced phenotypic variation. We also present the different methods allowing the detection of methylation polymorphism. We believe this review will be helpful to molecular ecologists, in that it highlights the importance of epigenetic processes in ecological and evolutionary studies.     

Cytochrome c methylation

In this review, protein methylation is outlined in general terms, highlighting the major amino acids that are methylated and some of the proteins in which they are found. The majority of the review examines the methylation of cytochrome c at Lys-77 of lower eukaryotes as a possible model for methylation studies. Early work involving the purification and characterization of the methyltransferase responsible for this methylation indicated cytochrome c was methylated posttranslationally, yet prior to import into the mitochondria. Methylation in vitro occurred only at the in vivo methylation site and only on cytochrome c. Later studies using in vitro translated apocytochrome c revealed that methylated, as compared with unmethylated, apocytochrome c was imported preferentially into yeast, but not rat liver, mitochondria. Efforts to discover the reasons for this preference have shown that methylation of apocytochrome c dramatically lowers its isoelectric point (against a predicted increase) and decrease its Stokes radius. A possible mechanism for these differences involving the disruption of hydrogen bonds is presented here with space-filling models. Finally, the in vivo significance of this modification is also discussed.

Dissecting DNA hypermethylation in cancer

There is compelling evidence to support the importance of DNA methylation alterations in cancer development. Both losses and gains of DNA methylation are observed, thought to contribute pathophysiologically by inactivating tumor suppressor genes, inducing chromosomal instability and ectopically activating gene expression. Lesser known are the causes of aberrant DNA methylation. Recent studies have pointed out that intrinsic gene susceptibility to DNA methylation, environmental factors and gene function all have an intertwined participation in this process. Overall, these data support a deterministic rather than a stochastic mechanism for de novo DNA methylation in cancer. In this review article, we discuss the technologies available to study DNA methylation and the endogenous and exogenous factors that influence the onset of de novo methylation in cancer.     

DNA methylation in endometrial cancer

Endometrial cancer is the most commonly diagnosed gynecological cancer, and it has been shown to be a complex disease driven by abnormal genetic, and epigenetic alterations, as well as environmental factors. Epigenetic changes resulting in aberrant gene expression are dynamic and modifiable features of many cancer types. A significant epigenetic change is aberrant DNA methylation. In this review, we review evidence on the role of aberrant DNA methylation, examining changes in relation to endometrial carcinogenesis, and report on recent advances in the understanding of the contribution of aberrant DNA methylation to endometrial cancer with the emphasis on the role of dietary/ lifestyle and environmental factors, as well as opportunities and challenges of DNA methylation in endometrial cancer management and prevention.     

Human non-CG methylation

Non-CG methylation is well characterized in plants, where it appears to play a role in gene silencing and genomic imprinting. Although strong evidence for the presence of non-CG methylation in animals has been available for some time, both its origin and function remain elusive. In this review we discuss available evidence on non-CG methylation in animals in light of evidence suggesting that the human stem cell methylome contains significant levels of methylation outside the CG site.

DNA methylation: the nuts and bolts of repression

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification which plays an important role in chromatin organization and gene expression. DNA methylation can silence genes and repetitive elements through a process which leads to the alteration of chromatin structure. The mechanisms which target DNA methylation to specific sites in the genome are not fully understood. In this review, we will discuss the mechanisms which lead to the long-term silencing of genes and will survey the progression that has been made in determining the targeted mechanisms for de novo DNA methylation.
