Esophageal cancer (ESCA) is a lethal malignancy and is associated with the alterations of various genes and epigenetic modifications. The protein dpy-30 homolog (DPY30) is a core member of histone H3K4 methylation catalase and its dysfunction is associated with the occurrence and development of cancer. Therefore, the present study investigated the role of DPY30 in ESCA and evaluated the association between the expression of DPY30, the clinicopathological characteristics of ESCA and the tumor immune microenvironment. It conducted a comprehensive analysis of DPY30 in patients with ESCA using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and clinical tissue microarray specimens of ESCA. Immunohistochemistry was performed to assess the expression levels of DPY30 in tissues. Receiver operating curve analysis, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression analysis were performed to identify the diagnostic and prognostic value of DPY30. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, protein-protein interaction network and Estimation of Stromal and Immune cells in Malignant Tumor tissues using the Expression data were used to screen DPY30-associated genes and evaluate the immune score of the TCGA samples. The results demonstrated that the expression of mRNA and protein levels of DPY30 were significantly upregulated in tumor tissues compared with normal tissue samples. The expression of DPY30 was closely associated with the poor prognosis of patients with ESCA. The present study also found that DPY30 expression and the pathological characteristics of ESCA were significantly correlated. Additionally, the expression of DPY30 demonstrated a significant positive correlation with various immune cells infiltration. The results suggested that DPY30 might influence tumor immune infiltration. In conclusion, the findings suggested that DPY30 might be a potential prognostic biomarker and an immunotherapeutic target in ESCA.

It is unclear how cells counteract the potentially harmful effects of uncoordinated DNA replication in the context of oncogenic stress. Here, we identify the WRAD (WDR5/RBBP5/ASH2L/DPY30) core as a modulator of DNA replication in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) models. Molecular analyses demonstrated that the WRAD core interacts with the replisome complex, with disruption of DPY30 resulting in DNA re-replication, DNA damage, and chromosomal instability (CIN) without affecting cancer cell proliferation.

The multiprotein complexes known as the complex of proteins associated with Set1 (COMPASS) play a crucial role in the methylation of histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4). In Drosophila, the COMPASS series complexes comprise core subunits Set1, Trx, and Trr, which share several common subunits such as ash2, Dpy30-L1, Rbbp5, and wds, alongside their unique subunits: Wdr82 for Set1/COMPASS, Mnn1 for Trx/COMPASS-like, and Ptip for Trr/COMPASS-like. Our research has shown that flies deficient in any of these common or unique subunits exhibited high lethality at eclosion (the emergence of adult flies from their pupal cases) and significantly shortened lifespans of the few adults that do emerge.

Few neuropsychiatric disorders have replicable biomarkers, prompting high-resolution and large-scale molecular studies. However, we still lack consensus on a more foundational question: whether quantitative shifts in cell types-the functional unit of life-contribute to neuropsychiatric disorders. Leveraging advances in human brain single-cell methylomics, we deconvolve seven major cell types using bulk DNA methylation profiling across 1270 postmortem brains, including from individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and autism.

Article Synopsis
- Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the precursors of male and female germ cells, and recent research highlights the roles of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and histone methylation in their formation.
- This study investigates how lncCPSET1 and the histone modification H3K4me2 work together to regulate chicken PGC formation, identifying candidate genes such as Bmp4 that are involved in relevant signaling pathways.
- The findings suggest that lncCPSET1 enhances the expression of certain proteins that promote Bmp4 transcription, ultimately contributing to the development of PGCs, thereby shedding light on the interplay between lncRNA and histone modifications in this process.
