TLDR
It is demonstrated in macrophages and B cells that collaborative interactions of the common factor PU.1 with small sets of macrophage- or B cell lineage-determining transcription factors establish cell-specific binding sites that are associated with the majority of promoter-distal H3K4me1-marked genomic regions.

TP53 engagement with the genome occurs in distinct local chromatin environments via pioneer factor activity

TL;DR: Data indicate that TP53, along with TP63, may act as pioneer factors to specify epithelial enhancers and suggest that rather than following a global cell-type invariant stress response program, TP53 may tune its response based on the lineage-specific epigenomic landscape.

Dnmt3a restrains mast cell inflammatory responses

TL;DR: Using mast cells lacking Dnmt3a, it is found that this enzyme is involved in restraining mast cell responses to acute and chronic stimuli, both in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

An obesity-associated gut microbiome reprograms the intestinal epigenome and leads to altered colonic gene expression.

TL;DR: These findings suggest that the gut microbiome, under specific dietary exposures, stimulates a reprogramming of the enhancer landscape in the colon, with downstream effects on transcription factors, which may be associated with those seen during colon cancer development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor cell-intrinsic EPHA2 suppresses anti-tumor immunity by regulating PTGS2 (COX-2)

TL;DR: The findings warrant clinical trials testing the effectiveness of therapies combining EPHA2-TGFβ-PTGS2 pathway inhibitors with anti-tumor immunotherapy, and may change the treatment of notoriously therapy-resistant pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

High-resolution profiling of histone methylations in the human genome.

TL;DR: High-resolution maps for the genome-wide distribution of 20 histone lysine and arginine methylations as well as histone variant H2A.Z, RNA polymerase II, and the insulator binding protein CTCF across the human genome using the Solexa 1G sequencing technology are generated.
Journal ArticleDOI

RAG-1-deficient mice have no mature B and T lymphocytes

TL;DR: The introduction of a mutation in RAG-1 into the germline of mice via gene targeting in embryonic stem cells is described and it is shown that this mutation either activates or catalyzes the V(D)J recombination reaction of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-scale DNA methylation maps of pluripotent and differentiated cells

TL;DR: Low-throughput reduced representation bisulphite sequencing is established as a powerful technology for epigenetic profiling of cell populations relevant to developmental biology, cancer and regenerative medicine.
