This study aimed to determine if quinacrine-gold hybrid nanoparticles (QAuNPs) + near-infrared (NIR) deregulate HSP-70/P300 complex-mediated H3K14 acetylation in estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor (ER/PR+) breast cancer stem cells (CSCs). Various cells and mouse-based systems were used as models. QAuNP + NIR treatment reduced the nuclear translocation of HSP-70, affected the histone acetyltransferase activity of P300 and specifically decreased H3K14 acetylation in ER/PR+ breast CSCs. Finally, HSP-70 knockdown showed a reduction in P300 histone acetyltransferase activity, decreased H3K14 acetylation and inhibited activation of the gene. This study revealed that QAuNP + NIR irradiation inhibits oncogenic activation of the gene by decreasing H3K14 acetylation mediated through the HSP-70/P300 nuclear complex in ER/PR+ breast CSCs.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Epigenetic modifications play a significant role in the progression of CRC. KAT7, a histone acetyltransferase, has an unclear role in CRC.

SETDB1 (SET domain bifurcated histone lysine methyltransferase 1) is a major protein lysine methyltransferase trimethylating lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9) which is involved in heterochromatin formation and silencing of repeat elements (REs). It contains a unique Triple Tudor Domain (3TD), which specifically binds the dual modification of H3K14ac in the presence of H3K9me1/2/3. Here, we explored the role of the 3TD H3-tail interaction for the H3K9 methylation activity of SETDB1.

Extracellular vesicles, also known as exosomes, influence numerous cellular functions by regulating different signaling pathways. However, their role in animal reproduction remains understudied. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of porcine follicular fluid-derived exosomes (pff-Exos) on porcine oocyte in vitro maturation and parthenogenetic embryo development.

Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) are highly vulnerable to damage, being in a constant state of proliferation. Reserve stem cells repair the intestinal epithelium following damage-induced ablation of ISCs. Here, we report that the epigenetic regulator plant homology domain (PHD) finger protein 16 (PHF16) restores homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium after initial damage-induced repair.

The BRG-/BRM-associated factor (BAF) chromatin remodeling complex is a central actor in transcription. One mechanism by which BAF affects gene expression is via its various histone mark readers, including double plant homeodomains (DPF), located in the BAF45D subunit. DPF domains recognize lysine acetyl and acylations, including crotonylation, localized at promoters and enhancers.
