The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the commonest cause of dementia in the elderly remain incompletely understood. Recently, epigenetic modifications have been shown to play a potential role in neurodegeneration, but the specific involvement of epigenetic signatures landscaped by heterochromatin has not been studied in AD. Herein, we discovered that H3K9me3‐mediated heterochromatin condensation is elevated in the cortex of sporadic AD postmortem brains. In order to identify which epigenomes are modulated by heterochromatin, we performed H3K9me3‐chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)‐sequencing and mRNA‐sequencing on postmortem brains from normal subjects and AD patients. The integrated analyses of genome‐wide ChIP‐ and mRNA‐sequencing data identified epigenomes that were highly occupied by H3K9me3 and inversely correlated with their mRNA expression levels in AD. Biological network analysis further revealed H3K9me3‐landscaped epigenomes to be mainly involved in synaptic transmission, neuronal differentiation, and cell motility. Together, our data show that the abnormal heterochromatin remodeling by H3K9me3 leads to down‐regulation of synaptic function‐related genes, suggesting that the epigenetic alteration by H3K9me3 is associated with the synaptic pathology of sporadic AD. 相似文献

Active genes are insulated from developmentally regulated chromatin condensation in terminally differentiated cells. We mapped the topography of a terminal stage-specific chromatin-condensing protein, MENT, across the active chicken beta-globin domain. We observed two sharp transitions of MENT concentration coinciding with the beta-globin boundary elements. The MENT distribution profile was opposite to that of acetylated core histones but correlated with that of histone H3 dimethylated at lysine 9 (H3me2K9). Ectopic MENT expression in NIH 3T3 cells caused a large-scale and specific remodeling of chromatin marked by H3me2K9. MENT colocalized with H3me2K9 both in chicken erythrocytes and NIH 3T3 cells. Mutational analysis of MENT and experiments with deacetylase inhibitors revealed the essential role of the reaction center loop domain and an inhibitory affect of histone hyperacetylation on the MENT-induced chromatin remodeling in vivo. In vitro, the elimination of the histone H3 N-terminal peptide containing lysine 9 by trypsin blocked chromatin self-association by MENT, while reconstitution with dimethylated but not acetylated N-terminal domain of histone H3 specifically restored chromatin self-association by MENT. We suggest that histone H3 modification at lysine 9 directly regulates chromatin condensation by recruiting MENT to chromatin in a fashion that is spatially constrained from active genes by gene boundary elements and histone hyperacetylation. 相似文献

Interphasic chromatin condenses into the chromosomes in order to facilitate the correct segregation of genetic information.
It has been previously reported that the phosphorylation and methylation of the N-terminal tail of histone H3 are responsible
for chromosome condensation. In this study, we demonstrate that the deacetylation and methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9)
are required for proper chromosome condensation. We confirmed that H3K9ac levels were reduced, whereas H3K9me3 levels were
increased in mitotic cells, via immunofluorescence and Western blot analysis. Nocodazole treatment induced G2/M arrest but
co-treatment with TSA, an HDAC inhibitor, delayed cell cycle progression. However, the HMTase inhibitor, AdoX, had no effect
on nocodazole-induced G2/M arrest, thereby indicating that sequential modifications of H3K9 are required for proper chromosome
condensation. The expression of SUV39H1 and SETDB1, H3K9me3-responsible HMTases, are specifically increased along with H3K9me3
in nocodazole-arrested buoyant cells, which suggests that the increased expression of those proteins is an important step
in chromosome condensation. H3K9me3 was highly concentrated in the vertical chromosomal axis during prophase and prometaphase.
Collectively, the results of this study indicate that sequential modifications at H3K9 are associated with correct chromosome
condensation, and that H3K9me3 may be relevant to the condensation of chromosome length. 相似文献

XNP/ATRX, a causative gene of X-linked alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome, encodes an SNF2 family ATPase/helicase protein. To better understand the role of XNP/ATRX in development, we isolated and characterized a Drosophila XNP/ATRX homolog, dXNP, which contains highly conserved SNF2 and helicase domains. Ectopically expressed dXNP induced strong apoptosis in the developing eye and wing, but did not affect cell cycle progression or the expression of wingless and engrailed, essential regulators of development. The dXNP-induced apoptosis was strongly suppressed by DJNKK/hemipterous mutation, and dXNP increased JNK activity. Taken together, these results suggest that dXNP regulates apoptosis via JNK activation. 相似文献

The present study describes evaluation of epigenetic regulation by a small molecule as the therapeutic potential for treatment of Huntington’s disease (HD). We identified 5-allyloxy-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)quinoline (APQ) as a novel SETDB1/ESET inhibitor using a combined in silico and in vitro cell based screening system. APQ reduced SETDB1 activity and H3K9me3 levels in a HD cell line model. In particular, not only APQ reduced H3K9me3 levels in the striatum but it also improved motor function and neuropathological symptoms such as neuronal size and activity in HD transgenic (YAC128) mice with minimal toxicity. Using H3K9me3-ChIP and genome-wide sequencing, we also confirmed that APQ modulates H3K9me3-landscaped epigenomes in YAC128 mice. These data provide that APQ, a novel small molecule SETDB1 inhibitor, coordinates H3K9me-dependent heterochromatin remodelling and can be an epigenetic drug for treating HD, leading with hope in clinical trials of HD. 相似文献

A number of studies have demonstrated that various components of the ATRX/DAXX/Histone H3.3 complex are important for heterochromatin silencing at multiple genomic regions. We provide an overview of the individual components (ATRX, DAXX and/or H3.3) tested in each study and propose a model where the ATRX/DAXX chaperone complex deposits H3.3 to maintain the H3K9me3 modification at heterochromatin throughout the genome. 相似文献

The heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) family is thought to be an important structural component of heterochromatin. HP1 proteins bind via their chromodomain to nucleosomes methylated at lysine 9 of histone H3 (H3K9me). To investigate the role of HP1 in maintaining heterochromatin structure, we used a dominant negative approach by expressing truncated HP1alpha or HP1beta proteins lacking a functional chromodomain. Expression of these truncated HP1 proteins individually or in combination resulted in a strong reduction of the accumulation of HP1alpha, HP1beta, and HP1gamma in pericentromeric heterochromatin domains in mouse 3T3 fibroblasts. The expression levels of HP1 did not change. The apparent displacement of HP1alpha, HP1beta, and HP1gamma from pericentromeric heterochromatin did not result in visible changes in the structure of pericentromeric heterochromatin domains, as visualized by DAPI staining and immunofluorescent labeling of H3K9me. Our results show that the accumulation of HP1alpha, HP1beta, and HP1gamma at pericentromeric heterochromatin domains is not required to maintain DAPI-stained pericentromeric heterochromatin domains and the methylated state of histone H3 at lysine 9 in such heterochromatin domains. 相似文献

Combinations of histones carrying different covalent modifications are a major component of epigenetic variation. We have mapped nine modified histones in the barley seedling epigenome by chromatin immunoprecipitation next‐generation sequencing (ChIP‐seq). The chromosomal distributions of the modifications group them into four different classes, and members of a given class also tend to coincide at the local DNA level, suggesting that global distribution patterns reflect local epigenetic environments. We used this peak sharing to define 10 chromatin states representing local epigenetic environments in the barley genome. Five states map mainly to genes and five to intergenic regions. Two genic states involving H3K36me3 are preferentially associated with constitutive gene expression, while an H3K27me3‐containing genic state is associated with differentially expressed genes. The 10 states display striking distribution patterns that divide barley chromosomes into three distinct global environments. First, telomere‐proximal regions contain high densities of H3K27me3 covering both genes and intergenic DNA, together with very low levels of the repressive H3K27me1 modification. Flanking these are gene‐rich interior regions that are rich in active chromatin states and have greatly decreased levels of H3K27me3 and increasing amounts of H3K27me1 and H3K9me2. Lastly, H3K27me3‐depleted pericentromeric regions contain gene islands with active chromatin states separated by extensive retrotransposon‐rich regions that are associated with abundant H3K27me1 and H3K9me2 modifications. We propose an epigenomic framework for barley whereby intergenic H3K27me3 specifies facultative heterochromatin in the telomere‐proximal regions and H3K27me1 is diagnostic for constitutive heterochromatin elsewhere in the barley genome. 相似文献

Heterochromatin, a type of condensed DNA in eukaryotic cells, has two main categories: Constitutive heterochromatin, which contains H3K9 methylation, and facultative heterochromatin, which contains H3K27 methylation. Methylated H3K9 and H3K27 serve as docking sites for chromodomain-containing proteins that compact chromatin. M33 (also known as CBX2) is a chromodomain-containing protein that binds H3K27me3 and compacts chromatin in vitro. However, whether M33 mediates chromatin compaction in cellulo remains unknown. Here we show that M33 compacts chromatin into DAPI-intense heterochromatin domains in cells. The formation of these heterochromatin domains requires H3K27me3, which recruits M33 to form nuclear bodies. G9a and SUV39H1 are sequentially recruited into M33 nuclear bodies to create H3K9 methylated chromatin in a process that is independent of HP1α. Finally, M33 decreases progerin-induced nuclear envelope disruption caused by loss of heterochromatin. Our findings demonstrate that M33 mediates the formation of condensed chromatin by forming nuclear bodies containing both H3K27me3 and H3K9me3. Our model of M33-dependent chromatin condensation suggests H3K27 methylation corroborates with H3K9 methylation during the formation of facultative heterochromatin and provides the theoretical basis for developing novel therapies to treat heterochromatin-related diseases. 相似文献

Eukaryotic chromosomes are organized into two large and distinct domains, euchromatin and heterochromatin, which are cytologically
characterized by different degrees of chromatin compaction during interphase/prophase and by post-synthesis modifications
of histones and DNA methylation. Typically, heterochromatin remains condensed during the entire cell cycle whereas euchromatin
is decondensed at interphase. However, a fraction of the euchromatin can also remain condensed during interphase and appears
as early condensing prophase chromatin. 5S and 45S rDNA sites and telomere DNA were used to characterize these regions in
metaphase and interphase nuclei. We investigated the chromosomal distribution of modified histones and methylated DNA in the
early and late condensing prophase chromatin of two species with clear differentiation between these domains. Both species,
Costus spiralis and Eleutherine bulbosa, additionally have a small amount of classical heterochromatin detected by CMA/DAPI staining. The distribution of H4 acetylated
at lysine 5 (H4K5ac), H3 phosphorylated at serine 10 (H3S10ph), H3 dimethylated at lysine 4 or 9 (H3K4me2, H3K9me2), and 5-methylcytosine
was compared in metaphase, prophase, and interphase cells by immunostaining with specific antibodies. In both species, the
late condensing prophase chromatin was highly enriched in H4K5ac and H3K4me2 whereas the early condensing chromatin was very
poor in these marks. H3K9me2 was apparently uniformly distributed along the chromosomes whereas the early condensing chromatin
was slightly enriched in 5-methylcytosine. Signals of H3S10ph were restricted to the pericentromeric region of all chromosomes.
Notably, none of these marks distinguished classical heterochromatin from the early condensing euchromatin. It is suggested
that the early condensing chromatin is an intermediate type between classical heterochromatin and euchromatin. 相似文献
