Quercetin
modifies 5'CpG promoter methylation and reactivates various tumor
suppressor genes by modulating epigenetic marks in human cervical cancer
cells.
Abstract
The central role of epigenomic
alterations in carcinogenesis has been widely acknowledged, particularly
the impact of DNA methylation on gene expression across all stages of
carcinogenesis is considered vital for both diagnostic and therapeutic
strategies. Dietary phytochemicals hold great promise as safe anticancer
agents and effective epigenetic modulators. This study was designed to
investigate
the potential of a phytochemical, quercetin as a modulator
of the epigenetic pathways for anticancer strategies. Biochemical
activity of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs),
histone deacetylases (HDACs),
histone
methyltransferases (HMTs), and global genomic DNA methylation was
quantitated by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based assay in
quercetin-treated HeLa cells. Molecular docking studies were performed
to predict the interaction of quercetin with DNMTs and HDACs.
Quantitative methylation array was used to assess quercetin-mediated
alterations in the promoter methylation of selected tumor suppressor
genes (TSGs). Quercetin induced modulation of chromatin modifiers
including DNMTs, HDACs,
histone
acetyltransferases (HAT) and HMTs, and TSGs were assessed by
quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). It was found that
quercetin modulates the expression of various chromatin modifiers and
decreases the activity of DNMTs, HDACs, and HMTs in a dose-dependent
manner.
Molecular docking results suggest that quercetin could function
as a competitive inhibitor by interacting with residues in the catalytic
cavity of several DNMTs and HDACs. Quercetin downregulated global DNA
methylation levels in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The tested TSGs
showed steep dose-dependent decline in promoter methylation with the
restoration of their expression. Our study provides an understanding of
the quercetin's mechanism of action and will aid in its development as a
candidate for epigenetic-based anticancer therapy.

Histone Modifications in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Acute
myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most lethal blood cancers,
accounting for close to a quarter of a million annual deaths worldwide.
Even though genetically heterogeneous, all AMLs are characterized by two
interrelated features-blocked differentiation and high proliferative
capacity. Despite significant progress in our understanding of the
molecular and genetic basis of AML, the treatment of AMLs with
chemotherapeutic regimens has remained largely unchanged in the past 30
years. In this review, we will consider the role of two cellular
processes, metabolism and epigenetics, in the development and
progression of AML and highlight the studies that suggest an
interconnection of therapeutic importance between the two. Large-scale
whole-exome sequencing of AML patients has revealed the presence of
mutations, translocations or duplications in several epigenetic
effectors such as DNMT3, MLL, ASXL1, and TET2, often times co-occuring
with mutations in metabolic enzymes such as IDH1 and IDH2. These
mutations often result in impaired enzymatic activity which leads to an
altered epigenetic landscape through dysregulation of chromatin
modifications such as DNA methylation, histone
acetylation and methylation. We will discuss the role of enzymes that
are responsible for establishing these modifications, namely histone acetyl transferases (HAT), histone methyl transferases (HMT), demethylases (KDMs), and deacetylases
(HDAC), and also highlight the merits and demerits of using inhibitors
that target these enzymes. Furthermore, we will tie in the metabolic
regulation of co-factors such as acetyl-CoA, SAM, and α-ketoglutarate
that are utilized by these enzymes and examine the role of metabolic
inhibitors as a treatment option for AML. In doing so, we hope to
stimulate interest in this topic and help generate a rationale for the
consideration of the combinatorial use of metabolic and epigenetic
inhibitors for the treatment of AML. KEYWORDS:
