(Submitter supplied) DNA methylation patterns were analyzed in blood samples from humans unexposed or exposed to arsenic Using a state-of-the-art technique to map the methylomes of our study subjects, we identified a large interactome of hypermethylated genes that are enriched for their involvement in arsenic-associated diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Notably, we have uncovered an arsenic-induced “suppressorome” - a complex of 17 known and putative tumor suppressors silenced in human cancers. more...

(Submitter supplied) Prenatal exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) is detrimental to the health of newborns and increases the risk of disease development later in life. Here we examined a subset of newborn cord blood leukocyte samples collected from mothers enrolled in the Biomarkers of Exposure to ARsenic (BEAR) pregnancy cohort in Gomez Palacio, Mexico who were exposed to a range of drinking water arsenic concentrations (0.456-236 µg/L). more...

(Submitter supplied) Arsenic contamination of drinking water occurs globally and is associated with numerous diseases including skin, lung, and bladder cancers, and cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms behind arsenic's effects remain unclear, but recent research indicates that aresnic acts along sex-specific lines and may be an endocrine disruptor. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nature of gene expression chagnes among males and females exposed to arsenic contaminated water in Bangladesh at high and low dose exposures.The median wAs concentration for the low exposure group was 103 µg/L for males and 117 µg/L for females (range 50–200 µg/L). more...

(Submitter supplied) Pregnant C3H mice were given tap water (control group) and tap water containing 85 ppm sodium arsenite from gestational day 8 to 18 (arsenic group), respectively. The DNA methylomes of sperm of F1 mice were investigated by RRBS method. The results showed that gestational arsenic exposure increased hypomethylated cytosines in active retrotransposon subfamilies. The present study has indicated environmental impacts on sperm DNA methylome establishment.

(Submitter supplied) Background: C3H mice have been frequently used in cancer studies as animal models of spontaneous liver tumors and chemically induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, are among pivotal control mechanisms of gene expression leading to carcinogenesis. Although information on somatic mutations in liver tumors of C3H mice is available, epigenetic aspects are yet to be clarified. more...

(Submitter supplied) Arsenic (As) exposure is a significant worldwide environmental health concern. Low dose, chronic arsenic exposure has been associated with higher risk of skin, lung, and bladder cancer, as well as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. While arsenic-induced biological changes play a role in disease pathology, little is known about the dynamic cellular changes due to arsenic exposure and withdrawal. In these studies, we seek to understand the molecular mechanisms behind the biological changes induced by chronic low doses of arsenic exposure. more...

(Submitter supplied) Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of arsenic exposure and non-exposure population and patients with skin leisons. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip (HM450K) was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs in genomic DNA extracted from blood buffy coat samples. Samples included 66 arsenic exposure individuals, 35 non-exposure individuals and 18 arsenical skin lesion patients.
