Description:
Cancer is characterized by gene expression aberrations. Studies have largely focused on coding sequences and promoters, even though distal regulatory elements play a central role in controlling transcription patterns. We used the histone mark H3K4me1 to analyze gain and loss of enhancer activity genome-wide in primary colon cancer lines relative to normal colon crypts. We identified thousands of variant enhancer loci (VELs) that comprise a signature that is robustly predictive of the in vivo colon cancer transcriptome. Furthermore, VELs are enriched in haplotype blocks containing colon cancer genetic risk variants, implicating these genomic regions in colon cancer pathogenesis. We propose that reproducible changes in the epigenome at enhancer elements drive a specific transcriptional program to promote colon carcinogenesis.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3711120/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3711120/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Akhtar-Zaidi, Batool -- Cowper-Sal-lari, Richard -- Corradin, Olivia -- Saiakhova, Alina -- Bartels, Cynthia F -- Balasubramanian, Dheepa -- Myeroff, Lois -- Lutterbaugh, James -- Jarrar, Awad -- Kalady, Matthew F -- Willis, Joseph -- Moore, Jason H -- Tesar, Paul J -- Laframboise, Thomas -- Markowitz, Sanford -- Lupien, Mathieu -- Scacheri, Peter C -- 1P50CA150964/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- 5T32GM008056-29/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P20 GM103534/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P50 CA150964/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA155004/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA160356/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 LM009012/LM/NLM NIH HHS/ -- R01 LM010098/LM/NLM NIH HHS/ -- R01-LM009012/LM/NLM NIH HHS/ -- R01-LM010098/LM/NLM NIH HHS/ -- R01CA1555004/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA160356/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01HD056369/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- U01 CA152756/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- UL1 RR024989/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 May 11;336(6082):736-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1217277.
