Comparison of global DNA methylation profiles in replicative versus premature senescence

Abstract

DNA methylation is considered to play an essential role in cellular senescence. To uncover the mechanism underlying cellular senescence, we established the model of premature senescence induced by hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) in human embryonic lung fibroblasts and investigated the changes of genome methylation, DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and DNA-binding domain proteins (MBDs) in comparison with those observed during normal replicative senescence. We found that premature senescence triggered by H(2)O(2) exhibited distinct morphological characteristics and proliferative capacity which were similar to those of replicative senescence. The genome methylation level decreased gradually during the premature as well as replicative senescence, which was associated with the reduction in the expression of DNMT1, reflecting global hypomethylation as a distinct feature of senescent cells. The levels of DNMT3b and methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) increased in both mid-aged and replicative senescent cells, while DNMT3a and MBD2 were upregulated in the mid-aged cells. Only DNMT3b was elevated in the cells in the premature senescence persistence status. Additionally, the expression for DNMTs, MBD2 and MeCP2 was increased rapidly upon H(...Continue Reading

Cancer Epigenetics and Senescence (Keystone)

Epigenetic changes are present and dysregulated in many cancers, including DNA methylation, non-coding RNA segments and post-translational protein modifications. The epigenetic changes may be involved in regulating senescence in cancer cells. This feed captures the latest research on cancer epigenetics and senescence.

Aphasia

Aphasia affects the ability to process language, including formulation and comprehension of language and speech, as well as the ability to read or write. Here is the latest research on aphasia.
