Article Abstract
Chromatin remodeler complexes regulate gene transcription, DNA replication and DNA repair by changing both nucleosome position and post-translational modifications. The chromatin remodeler complexes are categorized into four families: the SWI/SNF, INO80/SWR1, ISWI and CHD family. In this review, we describe the subunits of these chromatin remodeler complexes, in particular, the recently identified members of the ISWI family and novelties of the CHD family. Long non-coding (lnc) RNAs regulate gene expression through different epigenetic mechanisms, including interaction with chromatin remodelers. For example, interaction of lncBRM with BRM inhibits the SWI/SNF complex associated with a differentiated phenotype and favors assembly of a stem cell-related SWI/SNF complex. Today, over 50 lncRNAs have been shown to affect chromatin remodeler complexes and we here discuss the mechanisms involved.

The effect of non-functionalized polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) with diameters of 29, 44, and 72 nm on plasmid DNA integrity and the expression of genes involved in the architecture of chromatin was investigated in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The cells were incubated with PS-NPs at concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 100 µg/mL for 24 hours.

Gliomas are the most common primary malignant tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), and despite progress in molecular diagnostics and targeted therapies, their prognosis remains poor. In recent years, immunotherapy has emerged as a promising treatment modality in cancer therapy. However, the inevitable immune evasion by tumor cells is a key barrier affecting therapeutic efficacy.

In the presence of chromatin bridges in cytokinesis, human cells retain actin-rich structures (actin patches) at the base of the intercellular canal to prevent chromosome breakage. Here, we show that daughter nuclei connected by chromatin bridges are under mechanical tension that requires interaction of the nuclear membrane Sun1/2-Nesprin-2 Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complex with the actin cytoskeleton, and an intact nuclear lamina. This nuclear tension promotes accumulation of Sun1/2-Nesprin-2 proteins at the base of chromatin bridges and local enrichment of the RhoA-activator PDZ RhoGEF through PDZ-binding to cytoplasmic Nesprin-2 spectrin repeats.

Introduction Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a rare and heterogeneous group of neoplasms with both clinical and genetic diversity. The clinical applicability of molecular profiling using liquid biopsy for identifying actionable drug targets and prognostic indicators in patients with advanced NETs remains unclear. Methods In this study, we utilized a custom-made 37 genes panel of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) in 47 patients with advanced NETs.

Introduction: Epigenetic changes are important modulators of gene expression. The histone acetyltransferase gene non-derepressible 5 (Gcn5) is emerging as a pivotal epigenetic player in metabolism and cancer, yet its role in obesity and cardiovascular disease remains elusive.
Aims: To investigate Gcn5 role in obesity-related endothelial dysfunction.
