Ten-eleven translocation protein 1 (TET1) functions as an epigenetic regulatory molecule, mediating the majority of DNA demethylation, and plays a role in the development of different types of cancers by regulating the expression of proto-oncogenes and oncogenes. Here it is found that TET1 is highly expressed in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and is associated with a poor prognosis. In addition, TET1 promotes claudin-3 (CLDN3) transcription by targeting the CLDN3 promoter region between -16 and 512 for demethylation. PPM1G functions as a protein dephosphorylase, catalyzing the dephosphorylation of TET1. This results in the destabilization of the TET1 protein, thereby impairing the targeting of the CLDN3 promoter for demethylation. Two phosphatase inhibitors, staurosporine and AZD0156, inhibit epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cholangiocarcinoma cells by suppressing TET1 expression. In conclusion, it is also demonstrated that PPM1G can be employed as a therapeutic target to impede the progression of CCA by catalyzing the dephosphorylation of TET1, which diminishes the capacity of TET1 to target the CLDN3 promoter to activate transcription and inhibit EMT in CCA.

Caused by the Gram-positive bacteria Clostridium perfringens, necrotic enteritis (NE) is an enteric disease with significant economic implications in broiler production. This study employed an experimental NE model involving co-infection with Eimeria maxima and C. perfringens to assess whether sulfate polysaccharides extracted from marine macroalgae could mitigate the adverse effects of NE in broilers.

Defects in intestinal epithelial tight junctions (TJs) allow paracellular permeation of noxious luminal antigens and are important pathogenic factors in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We show that alpha-tocopherylquinone (TQ), a quinone-structured oxidation product of vitamin E, consistently enhances the intestinal TJ barrier by increasing barrier-forming claudin-3 (CLDN3) and reducing channel-forming CLDN2 in Caco-2 cell monolayers (in vitro), mouse models (in vivo), and surgically resected human colons (ex vivo). TQ reduces colonic permeability and ameliorates colitis symptoms in multiple colitis models.

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that plays an essential role in regulating gene expression. CpG islands are DNA methylations regions in promoters known to regulate gene expression through transcriptional silencing of the corresponding gene. DNA methylation at CpG islands is crucial for gene expression and tissue-specific processes.
