Reduced levels of histones H1o and H1b, and unaltered content of methylated DNA in rainbow trout hepatocellular carcinoma chromatin.

چکیده
The levels of histone subtypes and DNA methylation of aflatoxin-induced rainbow trout hepatocellular carcinoma and adult liver nuclei were compared. The hepatocellular carcinoma nuclei were enriched in the ubiquitinated species of histone H2A and depleted in histones H1o and H1b. The 5-methylcytosine content and methylation patterns of the vitellogenin genes and the transcriptionally inactive TPG-3 protamine gene were not altered in the trout hepatocellular carcinoma DNA. Thus, undermethylation of DNA is not a general feature of chemically induced tumors in vivo.

DNA methylation of tumor suppressor genes in hepatocellular carcinoma
The basic unit of chromatin is a nucleosome included an octamer of the four core histones and 147 base pairs of DNA. Posttranslational histones modifications affect chromatin structure resulting in gene expression changes. CpG islands hypermethylation within the gene promoter regions and the deacetylation of histone proteins are the most common epigenetic modifications. The aberrant patterns of...

Background: DNA molecule of the eukaryotic cells is found in the form of a nucleoprotein complex named chromatin. Two epigenetic modifications are critical for transcriptional control of genes, including acetylation and DNA methylation. Hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes is catalyzed by various DNA methyltransferase enzymes (DNMTs), including DNMT1, DNMT2, and DNMT3. The most well chara...

Along the plant ingredients, rendered animal protein sources such as blood meal, meat and bone meal and poultry by-product meal have potential to be replaced by fishmeal in rainbow trout feed. Therefore, the main objective of the present study is to determine the effect of full replacement of fishmeal by poultry by-products meal (PBM) on fish performance, nutrient digestibility and also liver c...

Dispersion of nuclear fibers of the spermatozoa of dogfish, man, and bull is made possible after treatment with a reducing and alkylating reagent coupled with an anionic detergent; the same detergent used at a low ionic strength dissociates the nuclear content of the rainbow trout sperm. Electron microscopy of such dispersed nuclear fibers has shown a beads-on-a-string configuration for these f...
