The epigenetic regulation of DNA-templated processes has been intensely studied over the last 15
years. DNA methylation, histone modification, nucleosome remodeling, and RNA-mediated targeting regulate many biological processes that are fundamental to the genesis of cancer. Here, we
present the basic principles behind these epigenetic pathways and highlight the evidence suggesting that their misregulation can culminate in cancer. This information, along with the promising clinical and preclinical results seen with epigenetic drugs against chromatin regulators, signifies that it
is time to embrace the central role of epigenetics in cancer.

"Epigenetics refers to genetic factors that change an organism’s appearance or biological functions without changing the actual DNA sequence. In other words, gene expression changes but the genes themselves don’t. Epigenetics adds an additional level of complexity to the genetic code." - Public Health Cafe
Epigenetics is the study, in the field of genetics, of cellular and physiological phenotypic trait variations that are caused by external or environmental factors that switch genes on and off and affect how cells read genes instead of being caused by changes in the DNA sequence. -Wikipedia
This presentation is about Genomic imprinting. Genomic imprinting is only found in eutherians. In next few slides we'll try to understand this phenomena.
Overview of epigenetics and its role in diseaseGarry D. Lasaga
Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression (active versus inactive genes) that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence — a change in phenotype without a change in genotype — which in turn affects how cells read the genes.
N-terminal tails of histones are the most accessible regions for modifications. These post-translational modification (PTM) of histones is a crucial step in epigenetic regulation of a gene.

Computational models for the analysis of gene expression regulation and its a...amathelier
Anthony Mathelier has recently been appointed as a new group leader in Computational Biology at the NCMM in Oslo, focusing on computational methods to study gene regulation. He will present one of his recent studies that coupled experimental data and targeted computational analysis with TF binding profiles to interpret cis-regulatory somatic mutations of 84 matched tumour-normal whole genomes from B-cell lymphomas. Transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) representing the core of gene cis-regulation, he will finally introduce new models to improve the prediction of TFBSs from ChIP-seq data.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

4. Epigenetics
• Changes in gene expression or phenotype that don’t
involve changes to the DNA sequence
• Its defined as heritable changes in gene activity and expression that
occur without alteration in DNA sequence
• Modern definition is non-sequence dependent inheritance
5. Mechanism of Epigenetics
Chromatin Remodelling & Histone Modification
DNA Methylation
Non-coding RNA mediated pathway

Epigenetic code:
Consist of Both DNA methylation and histone modifications
Genetic code in each cell is the same
Epigenetic code is tissue and cell specific
8. Histones are a group of basic protein that
associate with DNA and help the DNA to condense it
into chromatin.
Histones contain a large proportion of the positively
charged (basic) amino acids, lyseine and arginine in
their structure.
DNA is negatively charged due to the phosphate
groups on its backbone.
These result of these opposite charges is strong
attraction and therefore high binding affinity between
histones and DNA structure called nucleosome.
DNA wraps around histones, they also play a role
in gene regulation.

Introduction
Histones
9. Histone proteins are of two types:
Core Histones - H2A, H2B, H3, and H4
Linker Histones - H1
9
The eight histones in the core
are arranged into a (H3)2(H4)2
tetramer and a pair of H2A–
H2B dimers.
The tetramer and dimers
come together to form a left-
handed superhelical ramp
around which the DNA wraps.
Hydrogen bonds between the
DNA backbone and the amide
group on the main chain of
histone proteins
Types of Histones
10. 9
N-terminal tails of histones are the most accessible
regions of these peptide as they protrude from the
nucleosome and possess no specific structure.
The major function of PTMs is to either create sites for
the recruitment of specific factors or modify existing
sites so as to abolish previous interactions.
Chromatin must be first made relaxed to allow access
of cellular machineries to chromatin DNA.
The amino-terminal portion of the core histone proteins
contains a flexible and highly basic tail region, which is
conserved across various species and is subject to
various PTM.
Chromatin can be highly packed or loosely packed, and
correlated to the gene expression levels.
Post-translational modification (PTM) of histones is a
crucial step in epigenetic regulation of a gene.

12. N-terminal tails of all histones are particularly of interest since they protrude out of the compact
structure. These N-terminal tails are often subjected to a variety of post-translational modifications

Diseses associated with histone modification
1. Rubinstein–Taybi Syndrome (RSTS)
14. 14
The syndrome is caused by mutations in the RPS6KA3 gene (histone phosphorylation) and is
located on the short arm of the X chromosome. Males are usually more severely affected than
females.
Ribosomal protein S6 kinase, 90kDa, polypeptide 3, also known as RPS6KA3, is an enzyme
that in humans is encoded by the RPS6KA3 gene.
The protein RSK2 which is encoded by the RPS6KA3 gene is a kinase which phosphorylates
some substrates like CREB and histone H3.
A rare genetic disorder characterized by mental retardation and abnormalities of the head
and facial and other areas.
Cardiac abnormalities affect 15% of the patients.

iii). ChIP-qPCR
1) Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)
i) Cross-linked ChIP (XChIP)
ii) Native ChIP (NChIP)
2) Mass Spectrometry (MS)

1. DNA and associated proteins reversibly
cross-linked with formaldehyde followed
by cell lysis.
2. The DNA-protein complexes (chromatin-
protein) are then sheared into ~500 bp DNA
fragments by sonication or nuclease
digestion.
3. Immunoprecipitation (IP) by using an
appropriate protein-specific antibody.
4. Reverse cross linking and sequence
determination
5. Enrichment of specific DNA sequences
represents regions on the genome that the
protein of interest is associated with in vivo.
Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay (ChIP) and various methods of
analysis
Major Steps Involved in ChIP Assay
17. 17
ChIP-on-chip (also known as ChIP-chip) is a technology that combines chromatin
immunoprecipitaion ('ChIP') with DNA microarray ("chip").
Development of genomic DNA microarrays (chips) has, when combined with ChIP assays,
enabled the mapping of transcription factor binding sites and of histone modifications.
The most prominent representatives of this class are transcription factors, replication -related
proteins, like Origin Recognition Complex Protein (ORC), histones, their variants, and histone
modifications.
ii) ChIP–on-chip
18. 18
Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP–seq) is a technique for
genome-wide profiling of DNA-binding proteins, histone modifications or nucleosomes.
1. Crosslinking
2. Chromatin is sheared by sonication (200–600 bp )
3. Immunoprecipitation
4. Reverse crosslinking DNA is assayed to determine
the sequences bound by the protein.
5. Construction of a sequencing library,
6. Sequencing of DNA.
Overview of a ChiP–seq experiment.
ii) ChIP–seq
Major Steps
In ChIP–seq, the DNA fragments of interest are
sequenced directly instead of being hybridized on
an array.
19. 19
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) coupled with quantitative PCR can be used to investigate
protein-DNA interaction at known genomic binding sites.
This technique is now used in a variety of life science disciplines including cellular differentiation, tumor
suppressor gene silencing, and the effect of histone modifications on gene expression.
1. Cell fixation (cross-linking)
2. Chromatin shearing: by Sonication (100-500 bp)
3. Chromatin IP: Using specific ChIP-grade antibodies
4. Reverse cross-linking and DNA purification.
5. qPCR and analysis
Major Steps
iii) ChIP-qPCR
20. Single cell epigenetic analysis
• Epigenetic modifications directly contributed to gene
transcriptional regulation and play important roles in
tissue development and disease progression.
Considering the large heterogeneity of
transcriptional variation in cell populations, the
analysis of epigenetic modifications in single cells has
helped to better inform the detailed mechanism of
gene expression regulation.
21. One approach is to visualize histone modifications by
combining in situ hybridization and proximity ligation
assays (PLA).
To-date, there has been no reported success with
chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to directly
analyze histone modifications in single cells due to
the very high experimental noise to detect two
genomic DNA copies.
Single cell histone modifications
22. • However, an indirect approach called Drop-ChIP has
been reported to successfully generate the histone
modification profiles in single cells.
23. Drop-ChIP
Single cells were lysed and their chromatin
was fragmented with micrococcal nuclease
(MNase) in each drops
Drops with fragmented chromatin were
then merged with the drops carrying
different DNA barcode
DNA barcodes were ligated to the
chromatin fragments from each drop to
index them to the original cells
The merged drops were
combined and the pool of bar-coded
chromatin was then used for
immunoprecipitation by various histone
modification-specific antibodies
library preparation and sequencing
24. DNA METHYLATION
DNA methylation is initiated by enzymes called DNA
methyl transferases (DNMTs. DNMT3a and DNMT3b.
DNA methylation in mammalian cells typically
involves covalent addition of a methyl group (-CH3)
at the 50 position of the cytosine ring within the 50-
CpG-30 dinucleotides to create a 5-methylcytosine
(5-mC).
CpG sites tend to cluster together as repetitive
sequences called as CpG islands (CpGI) found either
at promoters of genes.
25. In humans, approximately 70% CpG dinucleotides are
methylated, whereas CpG dinucleotides found at
CpGI in germ-line tissues and those located near
promoters of somatic cells mostly remain
unmethylated.
• DNMT3a and DNMT3b have been shown to function
as maintenance methyl transferase in embryonic
stem cells.
26. 26
Model for Role of Methylation in Heterochromatin Formation
Condensation assisted by recruitment of HMT
(histone methyltransferase), where HP1
(heterochromatin protein 1) binds to H3K9-Me3
which methylates adjacent H3K9.
Chromatin condensed until a boundary
element is reached and turned into
heterochromatin
Methylation of histone tails long lasting
compared to acetylation.
Can be Inherited by daughter cells:
Responsible for X-inactivation in female.
27.
28. the pattern of methylation of H3K4 the genome might
be formed in the embryo before de novo DNA
methylation.
H3K4 methylation might be directed by sequence-
directed binding of RNA polymerase II, which recruits
specific H3K4 methyltransferases9.
• As RNA polymerase II is bound mostly to CpG islands in
the early embryo only these regions are marked by
H3K4me, whereas the rest of the genome is packaged
with nucleosomes containing unmethylated H3K4.
29. DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY AND DNA
METHYLATION
Impaired insulin secretion by the pancreatic islet is a key
component to the pathogenesis of T2DM. Therefore,
several studies have used a candidate gene approach to
study the relationship between changes in DNA
methylation and gene expression in islets from donors
with T2DM.
Increased DNA methylation was measured CpG sites
within the promoters of the pancreatic transcription
factor Pdx1, the mitochondrial gene regulator Ppargc1a
and Ins gene.
30.
31. Using the genomewide Infinium 450K array, 1649 CpG
sites, and 853 genes, including Tcf7l2, Fto, Kcnq1, Irs1,
Cdkn1a, and Pde7b were identified to have significant
changes in DNA methylation in human islets from T2DM
donors compared to controls.
Increased DNA methylation at the promoter of Cdkn1a
and Pde7b was associated with decreased
transcriptional activity in clonal β-cells in vitro as well as
impaired glucose stimulated insulin secretion.
32. • Some changes in DNA methylation in peripheral tissues
have been shown to be amenable to modification by simple
physiological interventions like exercise. For example, a 6
months exercise intervention induced noticeable
alterations in genome-wide DNA methylation profile and
gene expression in adipose tissue of obese and type 2
diabetic patients.
• Epigenetics (DNA methylation) in combination with genetic
and environmental stimuli could either impair pancreatic
development and insulin secretion, or lead to insulin
resistance at peripheral tissues such as liver, muscle, and
adipose.
33. miRNAs
MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) comprise a class of short
RNA molecules, 20-23 nucleotides in length, which play a
crucial role in the regulation of gene expression at the
post-transcriptional level.
The majority of miRNA genes are located in intergenic
regions However, they may also be found in introns of
coding and non-coding regions, as well as in exons of
certain non-protein-coding transcripts, where their
transcription is regulated together with their host exons.
They exert their post-translational control on many basic
cellular functions, such as growth, migration and death.
34.
35. 70% of miRNAs identified are expressed in the central
nervous system (CNS)
miRNAs and schizophrenia
miRNAs play an important and crucial role through their
regulatory function on specific genes Specifically, miR-124
and miR-9 have been shown to play a crucial role in
neurogenesis.
the overexpression of these miRNAs decreases the
number of astrocytes, whereas the inhibition of these
miRNAs reduces the number of neurons miRNAs.
