Intestinal mucosa-derived DNA methylation signatures in the penetrating intestinal mucosal lesions of Crohn's disease.

Scientific reports | 2021

The purpose of this study was to evaluate genome-wide DNA methylation changes in intestinal mucosa tissue of adult patients with Crohn's disease comprehensively. DNA methylation chip was used to analyze abnormal methylation sites among penetrating and non-penetrating intestinal mucosa tissue of Crohn's disease and normal intestinal mucosa tissue of healthy controls. Methylation abnormalities of different locus were verified by pyrosequencing and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Differential DNA methylation sites were participated in the positive regulation of apoptosis and the positive regulation of IL-8 production and were enriched in signaling pathways related to inflammatory bowel disease and extracellular matrix receptor interaction signaling pathways. Correlation analysis showed that the methylation abnormalities of HLA-DRB1 (r = - 0.62, P < 0.001), MUC1 (r = - 0.45, P = 0.01), YPEL5 (r = - 0.55, P = 0.001) and CBLB (r = - 0.62, P < 0.001) were significantly negatively correlated with their relative expression levels. The degree of methylation abnormality of MUC1 was negatively correlated with the disease activity score of Crohn's disease (r = - 0.50, P = 0.01). Apoptosis, interleukin-8 production and abnormal extracellular matrix might be involved in the mechanism of penetrating intestinal mucosal lesions in Crohn's disease. The degree of abnormal methylation of MUC1 was negatively correlated with the disease activity of Crohn's disease.

Gene Ontology (tool)

RRID:SCR_002811

Computable knowledge regarding functions of genes and gene products. GO resources include biomedical ontologies that cover molecular domains of all life forms as well as extensive compilations of gene product annotations to these ontologies that provide largely species-neutral, comprehensive statements about what gene products do. Used to standardize representation of gene and gene product attributes across species and databases.

PRISM (tool)

RRID:SCR_005375

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 5,2022.Tool that predicts interactions between transcription factors and their regulated genes from binding motifs. Understanding vertebrate development requires unraveling the cis-regulatory architecture of gene regulation. PRISM provides accurate genome-wide computational predictions of transcription factor binding sites for the human and mouse genomes, and integrates the predictions with GREAT to provide functional biological context. Together, accurate computational binding site prediction and GREAT produce for each transcription factor: 1. putative binding sites, 2. putative target genes, 3. putative biological roles of the transcription factor, and 4. putative cis-regulatory elements through which the factor regulates each target in each functional role.
