Background: DNA-methylation-based machine learning algorithms have demonstrated powerful diagnostic capabilities, and these tools are currently emerging in many fields of tumor diagnosis and patient prognosis prediction. This work aimed to identify novel DNA methylation diagnostic biomarkers for differentiating cervical cancer (CC) from normal tissues, as well as a prognostic prediction model to predict survival of CC patients.
Methods: The methylation profiles with the available clinical characteristics were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) program. We first screened out the differential methylation sites in CC and normal tissues and performed multiple statistical analyses to discover DNA methylation diagnostic markers that are used to distinguish CC and normal control. Then, we developed a methylation-based survival model to improve risk stratification.
Results: A diagnostic prediction panel consists of five CpG markers that could predict cervical cancer versus normal tissue with highly correct rate of 100%, and cg16428251, cg22341310, and cg23316360 which in diagnostic prediction panel all could yield high sensitivity and specificity for detection of CC and normal in six cohorts (area under curve [AUC] > 0.8), in addition to excellent performance in discriminating between CC and normal sample. The diagnostic marker panel also effectively predicted the CIN3 versus normal tissue with high accuracy in two datasets (AUC = 0.80, 0.789, respectively). Furthermore, a prognostic prediction model aggregated two CpG markers that effectively stratified the prognosis of high-risk and low-risk groups (training cohort: hazard ratio [HR] 4, 95% CI: 1.7-9.6, = 0.0021; testing cohort: hazard ratio [HR] 1.9, 95% CI: 1.2-3.1, = 0.0072).
Conclusion: The findings of our study showed that DNA methylation markers are of great value in the diagnosis and prognosis of CC.

The ability to accurately quantify biological age could help monitor and control healthy aging. Epigenetic clocks have emerged as promising tools for estimating biological age, yet they have been developed from heterogeneous bulk tissues, and are thus composites of two aging processes, one reflecting the change of cell-type composition with age and another reflecting the aging of individual cell-types. There is thus a need to dissect and quantify these two components of epigenetic clocks, and to develop epigenetic clocks that can yield biological age estimates at cell-type resolution.

Coastal fish populations are threatened by multiple anthropogenic impacts, including the accumulation of industrial contaminants and the increasing frequency of hypoxia. Some populations of the Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus), like those in New Bedford Harbor (NBH), Massachusetts, USA, have evolved a resistance to dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) that may influence their ability to cope with secondary stressors. To address this question, we compared hepatic gene expression and DNA methylation patterns in response to mild or severe hypoxia in killifish from NBH and Scorton Creek (SC), a reference population from a relatively pristine environment.

-produced blastocysts are exposed to different stimuli when compared with ones. This includes the culture of embryos in a sturdy petri-dish, while embryos develop in a soft and dynamic structure. Here we hypothesized that a softer environment could differently modulate the produced embryos To that aim, presumptive zygotes were produced by fertilization and divided into three groups: 1) Cultured in a regular Petri dish - Control (CON); 2) Cultured on top of an alginate hydrogel surface (TOP); 3) Encapsulated inside an alginate hydrogel sphere (ENC) and cultured.
