C.H . Waddington in 1939 introduced the term epigenetics T he branch of biology which studies the causal interactions between genes and their products which bring the phenotype into being H eritable changes in gene expression that occur without alteration in DNA sequence Epigenetics → genetic factors that change an organism’s appearance or biological functions without changing the actual DNA sequence. One of the characteristic features of epigenetics is exhibition of alternative phenotypes by the same genome Epigenetic changes → These changes may be induced spontaneously Interactions with environment These interactions include behaviors like → smoking, eating, drinking, exercise, and exposure to natural and manufactured chemicals in air, water, and food More common than mutations Manel Esteller .

DNA methylation T he addition of a methyl-group to one of the bases in the deoxyribonucleic acid chain Does not change the primary DNA sequence G enerally repressive to transcription C onstituting an important mechanism for : G ene silencing in embryonic development I nactivation of defined tumor suppressor genes in human cancers Cytosine methylation is the most studied modification Adenine has been found to be methylated in prokaryotes and plants
In mammals, DNA methylation occurs mainly on the fifth carbon of the cytosine base→ 5-methylcytosine or 5-methylcytidine (5-mC ) Almost exclusively found at CpG dinucleotides ( CpG : 100-2,000 bp ) 5 - mC is a potent epigenetic marker and regulator of gene expression ( <1% of nucleotides) Methylated CpG clusters → named CpG islands ( 28 million of CpG regions in the genome and unmethylated across cell types ) CpG islands – at gene promoters have been associated with gene inactivation

DNA methylation is catalyzed by a family of enzymes → DNA methyltransferase (includes DNMT1, DNMT3a and DNMT3b ) DNMT3a and DNMT3b are known as de novo methyltransferases → able to methylate previously unmethylated CpG dinucleotides DNMT1 is known as a maintenance methyltransferase → methylates hemi-methylated DNA during replication and repair DNA The Tet family of enzymes → DNA demethylation – a process that involve the successive oxidation of 5-mC to 5-hydroxymethyl- (5 - hmC ), 5-formyl - (5 - fC), and 5-carboxy - (5 - caC) cytosine A glycosylase of the BER (Base Excision Repair) pathway, TDG → repair the 5-hydroxymethyluracil which can result from deamination of 5-hmC ( DNA demethylation ) Methylation occur : De Novo methylation Maintenance Methylation Demethylation of DNA

2. Modification to Histone Histone: cluster of proteins Nucleosome : 147bp of DNA chain wrapped around the 8 core histone ( Histone + DNA) Chromatin is comprised of histones and DNA The primary functions of chromatin are to package DNA into a smaller volume to fit in the cell, to strengthen the DNA to allow mitosis and meiosis and prevent chromosome breakage to control gene expression and DNA replication In mammals, chromatin is mainly found as Heterochromatin a condensed transcriptionally silent form, which constitutes telomeres, pericentric regions and areas rich in repetitive sequences. Euchromatin is instead less condensed, and it contains most actively transcribed genes . A Guide Epigenetic, 2012

Structure & Epigenetics of Euchromatin vs Heterochromatin A Guide Epigenetic, 2012
H2A , H2B, H3 and H4→ core histones . H1 does not form part of the nucleosome but seems to act as stabilizer of the internucleosomal DNA → The linker histone Histones are characterized by a large number of post-translational modifications, which serve to allocate the genome into : “ active” regions or euchromatin where DNA is accessible for transcription, and “ inactive” regions or heterochromatin where DNA is more compact and therefore less accessible for transcription At least nine different types of histone modifications : lysine acetylation, lysine and arginine methylation, serine/threonine/tyrosine phosphorylation, and serine/threonine ubiquitylation . GlcNAcylation , citrullination , krotonilation and proline isomerization.

H istone modifications do not stand alone T hat there is an intense cross-talk between histone, which can occur on the same histone (cross-talk in cis ), between different histones within the same nucleosome (cross-talk in trans), or across different nucleosomes (nucleosome cross-talk ).

Acetylation and phosphorylation –help to open chromatin Chromatin remodeling complex
a . Histone Acetylation A ll histones can be acetylated The enzymes responsible for regulating the acetylation of histone tails are histone acetyltransferases (HAT) and deacetylases (HDAC ) Promoter-localized acetylation → Histone acetylation is largely targeted to promoter regions Acetylation on lysine residues leads to → relaxation of the chromatin structure and allows the binding of transcription factors → significantly increases gene expression
b . Histone Methylation Arginine methylation of histone H3 and H4 promotes transcriptional activation L ysine methylation of histone H3 and H4 is implicated in both transcriptional activation and repression, depending on the methylation site L ysine residues can be methylated in the form of mono-, di-, or tri-methylation → providing functional diversity to each site of lysine methylation ( For example ) tri-methylation on K4 of Histone H3 (H3K4me3) is generally associated with transcriptional activation tri-methylation on K9 and K27 of histone H3 (H3K9me3 & H3K27me3) are generally associated with transcriptional repression T wo types of histone methyltransferases : lysine-specific histone methyltransferases , which can be SET-domain containing or non-SET-domain containing, and arginine-specific histone methyltransferases belonging to the PRMT (protein arginine methyltransferases ) family
c . Histone Phosphorylation A ll nucleosome core histones are phosphorylated T hat this modification is critical as intermediate step in chromosome condensation during cell division, transcriptional regulation and DNA damage repair H istone phosphorylation seems to function by : establishing interactions between other histone modifications and serving as platform for effector proteins leading to a downstream cascade of events. M arkers for mitosis are phosphorylation of histone H3 at S10 Histone H2B phosphorylation → facilitates apoptosis-related chromatin condensation, DNA fragmentation and cell death P hosphorylation of H2AX at S139 (resulting in γ H2AX ) → has been identified earliest event occurring after DNA double-strand break and serves as recruiting point for DNA damage repair proteins
d . Histone Ubiquitylation Reversible R egulated by histone ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitylating enzymes . Histone H2A and H2B are two of the most abundant ubiquitylated proteins Histone Ubiquitylation : Polyubiquitylated histones such as K63-linked polyubiquitylation of H2A and H2AX Monoubiquitylation H2A is catalyzed by Polycomb group proteins, and it is mostly associated with gene silencing H2B is Bre1 in yeast and its homologues RNF20/RNF40 in mammals and it is mainly associated with transcription activation The most abundant forms of ubiquitylated histones are monoubiquitylated H2A on K119 and monoubiquitylated H2B on K123 (yeast)/K120 (vertebrates)
DNA damage response : RNF8/RNF168 catalyzed K63-linked polyubiquitylation of histone H2A/H2AX provides a recognition site for RAP80 and other DNA repair proteins, and monoubiquitylation of histones H2A, H2B, and H2AX is also found at the sites of DNA DSBs (double strand-breaks)

3. NON-CODING RNAs 90 % of the eukaryotic genome is transcribed but only 1 – 2% of these transcripts encode for proteins T he majority are transcribed as non-coding RNAs ( ncRNAs ) ncRNAs play a big part in epigenetic regulation of gene expression in addition to their roles at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level. Non-coding RNAs can be divided into two main types→ infrastructural and regulatory ncRNAs . Infrastructural ncRNAs seem to have a housekeeping role in translation and splicing and include species such as ribosomal , transfer, small nuclear RNAs. Regulatory ncRNAs are more interesting from an epigenetic point of view as they are involved in the modification of other RNAs
ncRNAs classified into : MicroRNAs ( miRNAs ) → will pair with complementary sequences on target mRNAs transcripts through the 3’UTR → leading to gene silencing of the target Piwi -interacting RNAs ( piRNAs ) → main role is the silencing of transposable elements during germ line development Small interfering RNAs ( siRNAs ) → mediate post-transcriptional silencing similarly to miRNA by a process called RNA interference ( RNAi ) Long non-coding RNAs ( lncRNAs ) → The majority of non-coding RNAs subject to splicing, polyadenylation , and other post-transcriptional modifications, and can be classified according to their proximity to protein coding genes LincRNA ( large intergenic non-coding RNAs )s are involved in epigenetic gene silencing, such as the role of Xist (X-inactive specific transcript), and in tumor development by promoting expression of genes involved in metastasis and angiogenesis.
Enhancer RNAs ( eRNAs ) and Promoter-associated RNAs (PARs ) T heir roles are still unclear ERNAs are non-coding transcripts produced from regions enriched with monomethylated lysine 4 on H3, RNA Pol II and coactivators such as P300 eRNAs function as transcriptional activators PARs are non-coding transcripts generally expressed near the TSS (Transcription start site) or in upstream elements of the promoter Most of the PARs are associated with highly expressed genes, but they are weakly expressed and with short half-lives PARs are connected with transcriptional activation and repression
Environmental Agents and Epigenetics Environmental agents to which humans are exposed include : Metals ( nickel, methylmercury , arsenic , chromium, cadmium, and cobalt ) → The semi-metal selenium → P eroxisome proliferators → I onizing radiation → T obacco smoke → A mbient particulate matter → E ndocrine disruptor → P olycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons → E xposure to environmental agents have been associated with : G enotoxic mechanisms → risk of developing various chronic diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular and pulmonary disease, diabetes, obesity , and neurological and behavioral disorders N on- genotoxic mechanisms

The Fragile X Syndrome (FRAXA) Identified a sharp DNA methylation boundary at a site between 650 and 800 nucleotides upstream of the CGG repeat in the first exon of the human FMR1 gene. This boundary is present in all human cell lines and cell types, irrespective of age, gender, and developmental stage and also in different mouse tissues. In individuals with the fragile X syndrome (FRAXA )→ the methylation boundary is lost; methylation spreads into the FMR1 promoter and inactivates the FMR1 gene
The Fragile X Syndrome (FRAXA) This syndrome is characterized by a fragile site on chromosome Xq27.3 By mental retardation, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, macroorchidism after puberty, and facial and skeletal dysmorphisms . At the molecular level, the expansion of a CGG repeat in the 5”-untranslated part of the first exon of the FMR1 (fragile X mental retardation) gene and the hypermethylation of its promoter region inactivate the FMR1 gene early in human development. In rare patients, amplification of the CGG repeat without FMR1 promoter methylation does not result in the FRAXA syndrome

a) Sodium bisulfite modification Sodium bisulfite modification, also known as bisulfite conversion , is one of the most useful tools for analyzing cytosine methylation. This method is based on treating DNA with sodium bisulfite in order to determine its methylation pattern. Treatment of DNA with sodium bisulfite leads to the deamination of cytosine residues and converts them to uracil , while 5-mC residues remain the same. The treatment will generate specific changes in the DNA sequence that will depend on the methylation status of individual cytosine residues, potentially providing single-nucleotide resolution information about the methylation status of a DNA region: cytosine residues that have been converted to uracil will be detected as thymidine residues whereas methylated cytosine residues will be detected as cytosines Bisulfite-modified DNA can be analyzed by PCR methods that can discriminate the methylation state of cytosines in specific genomic regions. Alternatively, bisulfite treatment can be coupled to next generation sequencing to achieve single nucleotide resolution mapping of cytosine methylation across the whole genome
b) Sequence-specific enzyme digestion This method involves the use of methylation-sensitive restriction endonucleases to produce DNA fragments based on the methylation status of the sequence . In general, a methylation-sensitive enzyme (i.e., an enzyme that cannot cut methylated DNA) and a methylation-insensitive isoschizomer (i.e., an enzyme which cuts the same DNA sequence regardless of whether this is methylated or not) are used to digest the same DNA sample . Comparison of the sensitive versus insensitive digestion leads to a differentiated band digestion pattern on an agarose gel which indicates the methylation status of the cytosines in the analyzed DNA sequence. This technique can also be used in combination with other methods such DNA sequencing, end point and RT-PCR or Southern blotting to provide methylation status information.
c) Capture/quantification of methylated DNA The use of methylated DNA-binding proteins or antibodies that specifically recognize methylated DNA is another common method for studying methylated DNA. Antibodies can be used in an ELISA-type assay to specifically detect the percentage of methylated or hydroxymethylated cytosine residues in the sample: the higher the signal, the higher percentage of methylated DNA. Antibodies can be also used to immunoprecipitate methylated DNA, thereby enriching a DNA sample in methylated DNA . This technique is also known as MeDIP (Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation ) and it can be coupled to locus specific PCR or to whole genome approaches such as microarrays or next generation sequencing. Similar techniques have been developed using methylated DNA-binding proteins instead of antibodies.
