Targeting H3K4 trimethylation in Huntington disease.
Transcriptional dysregulation is an early feature of Huntington disease (HD). We observed gene-specific changes in histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) at transcriptionally repressed promoters in R6/2 mouse and human HD brain. Genome-wide analysis showed a chromatin signature for this mark. Reducing the levels of the H3K4 demethylase SMCX/Jarid1c in primary neurons reversed down-regulat...
متن کاملHistone H3K4 trimethylation: dynamic interplay with pre-mRNA splicing.
Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) is often stated as a mark of transcriptionally active promoters. However, closer study of the positioning of H3K4me3 shows the mark locating primarily after the first exon at the 5' splice site and overlapping with a CpG island in mammalian cells. There are several enzyme complexes that are involved in the placement of the H3K4me3 mark, including mul...
متن کاملMenin links estrogen receptor activation to histone H3K4 trimethylation.
The product of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) tumor suppressor gene, menin, is an integral component of MLL1/MLL2 histone methyltransferase complexes specific for Lys4 of histone H3 (H3K4). We show that menin is a transcriptional coactivator of the nuclear receptors for estrogen and vitamin D. Activation of the endogenous estrogen-responsive TFF1 (pS2) gene results in promoter r...
متن کاملEffects of Nickel Treatment on H3K4 Trimethylation and Gene Expression
Occupational exposure to nickel compounds has been associated with lung and nasal cancers. We have previously shown that exposure of the human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells to NiCl(2) for 24 hr significantly increased global levels of trimethylated H3K4 (H3K4me3), a transcriptional activating mark that maps to the promoters of transcribed genes. To further understand the potential epigenetic m...
متن کاملTargeting the equilibrative nucleoside transporter ENT1 in Huntington disease
Huntington disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder phenotypically characterized by progressive chorea, cognitive impairments and emotional disturbances. The crucial pathological hallmark of the disease is the atrophy of the striatum, with a remarkable loss of projecting medium spiny neurons. Among many disturbances in the homeostasis of the striatum reported in HD, it has been suggested th...
