We used a genetic (MIMT1(Del)) model of intrauterine growth restriction to investigate dysregulation of PEG3 domain gene expression in bovine foetal and maternal placenta. ZIM2, APEG3 and PEG3 expressions were similarly reduced in MIMT1(Del/) (WT) foetal placenta, suggesting coordinated regulation. Methylation of DNA CpG sites associated with these genes showed no differences, but differences in the levels of MIMT1 RNA methylation at three CpG sites were found in foetal placenta. Our data are consistent with the presence of a bidirectional promoter 5' of MIMT1 and suggest a regulatory role for the MIMT1 non-coding transcript. PEG3 domain expression on the maternal placenta side was not affected by the foetal mutation.

Maternal adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and offspring imprinted gene DMR methylation at birth.
Epigenetics

Article Synopsis
- Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in mothers can impact the health of their newborns, as shown by alterations in DNA methylation patterns linked to stress and discrimination.
- Eight specific regions in the DNA were examined to see how maternal financial stress and discrimination during pregnancy relate to changes in DNA methylation in newborns.
- The study found that financial stress and discrimination during pregnancy were linked to different patterns of DNA methylation in newborns, but the significance of these interactions became less clear after further statistical analysis.

Background: Epigenetic mechanisms are hypothesized to contribute substantially to the progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) to cervical cancer, although empirical data are limited.
Methods: Women (n = 419) were enrolled at colposcopic evaluation at Duke Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina. Human papillomavirus (HPV) was genotyped by HPV linear array and CIN grade was ascertained by biopsy pathologic review.

Integration of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA into the human genome is a reputed key driver of cervical cancer. However, the effects of HPV integration on chromatin structural organization and gene expression are largely unknown. We studied a cohort of 61 samples and identified an integration hot spot in the CCDC106 gene on chromosome 19.

The parental allele specificity of mammalian imprinted genes has been evolutionarily well conserved, although its functional constraints and associated mechanisms are not fully understood. In the current study, we generated a mouse mutant with switched active alleles driving the switch from paternal-to-maternal expression for Peg3 and the maternal-to-paternal expression for Zim1. The expression levels of Peg3 and Zim1, but not the spatial expression patterns, within the brain showed clear differences between wild type and mutant animals.

We previously showed that deregulation of PEG3 domain genes is associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in cattle. Here, we carried out genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of foetal placenta in two IUGR and wild-type samples and identified a differentially methylated region (DMR) in intron 2 of MIMT1. Pyrosequencing on a larger sample size (n = 20) confirmed significantly lower (P < 0.
