Superovulation induces defective methylation in line-1 retrotransposon elements in blastocyst
BACKGROUND Series of epigenetic events happen during preimplantation development. Therefore assistant reproduction techniques (ART) have the potential to disrupt epigenetic regulation during embryo development. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether defects in methylation patterns in blastocyst due to superovulation originate from abnormal expression of Dnmts. METHODS Low- (6 IU...
متن کاملEffect of Heavy Metals on Silencing of Engineered Long Interspersed Element-1 Retrotransposon in Nondividing Neuroblastoma Cell Line
Background: L1 retrotransposons are the most active mobile DNA elements in human genome. Unregulated L1 retrotransposition may have deleterious effect by disrupting vital genes and inducing genomic instabilities. Therefore, human cells control L1 elements by silencing their activities through epigenetic mechanisms. It has been shown that cell division and heavy metals stimulate the frequency of...
متن کاملX inactivation-specific methylation of LINE-1 elements by DNMT3B: implications for the Lyon repeat hypothesis.
Lyon has proposed that long interspersed nuclear element 1 (LINE-1 or L1) repeats may be mediators for the spread of X chromosome inactivation. Cells from ICF patients who are deficient in one of the DNA methyltransferases, DNMT3B, provide an opportunity to explore and refine this hypothesis. Southern blot and bisulfite methylation analyses indicate that, in normal somatic cells, X-linked L1s a...
متن کاملBirthweight, Maternal Weight Trajectories and Global DNA Methylation of LINE-1 Repetitive Elements
Low birthweight, premature birth, intrauterine growth retardation, and maternal malnutrition have been related to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and neuropsychiatric disorders later in life. Conversely, high birthweight has been linked to future risk of cancer. Global DNA methylation estimated by the methylation of repetitive sequences in the gen...
متن کاملEvolutionary Epigenomics of Retrotransposon-Mediated Methylation Spreading in Rice
Plant genomes contain numerous transposable elements (TEs), and many hypotheses on the evolutionary drivers that restrict TE activity have been postulated. Few models, however, have focused on the evolutionary epigenomic interaction between the plant host and its TE. The host genome recruits epigenetic factors, such as methylation, to silence TEs but methylation can spread beyond the TE sequenc...
