Aim: The goal of this study is to identify differentially methylated (DM) loci associated with long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)/mRNA expression in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Materials & Methods: Microarrays were used to interrogate genome-wide methylation and expression of lncRNA/mRNA in NSCLC.
Results: We identified 113,644 DM loci between tumors and adjacent tissues. Among them, 26,310 DM loci were associated with 1685 differentially expressed genes, and 839 genes had significant correlations between methylation and expression, of which 26 hypermethylated loci in transcription start site 200 were correlated with low gene expression. We validated the correlations between methylation and expression in five genes (CDO1, C2orf40, SCARF1, ZFP106 and IFFO1) using pyrosequencing and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. We also found significant correlations between lncRNAs and mRNAs, and validated four of the correlations with quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
Conclusion: Integrated analysis of genome-wide DNA methylation and lncRNA/mRNA expression allows us to identify new DM loci-correlated with gene expression in NSCLC.

In recent years, epigenetic modifications have attracted significant attention due to their unique regulatory mechanisms and profound biological implications. Acting as a bridge between environmental stimuli and changes in gene activity, they reshape gene expression patterns, providing organisms with regulatory mechanisms to respond to environmental changes. A growing body of evidence indicates that epigenetic regulation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of psoriasis.

Skeletal muscle is a critical organ in maintaining homoeostasis against metabolic stress, and histone post-translational modifications are pivotal in those processes. However, the intricate nature of histone methylation in skeletal muscle and its impact on metabolic homoeostasis have yet to be elucidated. Here, we report that mitochondria-rich slow-twitch myofibers are characterized by significantly higher levels of H3K36me2 along with repressed expression of Kdm2a, an enzyme that specifically catalyses H3K36me2 demethylation.

The zinc finger protein 32 (ZNF32) has been associated with high expression in various cancers, underscoring its significant function in both cancer biology and immune response. To further elucidate the biological role of ZNF32 and identify potential immunotherapy targets in cancer, we conducted an in-depth analysis of ZNF32. We comprehensively investigated the expression of ZNF32 across tumors using diverse databases, including TCGA, CCLE, TIMER2.

Methyltransferase-like 1 (METTL1)-mediated m7G modification is a common occurrence in various RNA species, including mRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, and miRNAs. Recent evidence suggests that this modification is linked to the development of several cancers, making it a promising target for cancer therapy. However, the specific role of m7G modification in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is not well understood.
