    To evaluate the possible involvement of epigenetic modulation by HPV16-p16INK4a in oral poten-tially malignant disorder (OPMD). We generated DNA-methylation profiles, according to p16INK4a expression and HPV16 genotype (positive or negative), of OPMD samples and p16INK4a-HPV16 negative samples (used as control), using reduced-representation bisulphite sequencing (RRBS- Seq- Illumina) technology. Twelve samples, four for each group, as follows: 1) p16INK4a+ HPV16 +; 2) p16INK4a+ HPV16-; 3) p16INK4a- HPV16-, were analysed in triplicate for DNA-methylation profiles. Fifty-four per cent of DMRs were hypermethylated and 46% were hypomethylated. An increase in methylation of loci in OPMD was independent of the presence of HPV. The hyper-methylated genes in HPV+ samples were associated with signalling pathways such as NICD traffics to nucleus, signalling by NOTCH1 (p = 0.008), Interferon-gamma (p = 0.008) and Interleukin-6 signalling (p = 0.027). The hypomethylated genes in HPV infection were associated with TRAF3- dependent IRF activation pathway (p = 0.002), RIG-I/MDA5 mediated induction of IFN-alpha/beta pathways (p = 0.005), TRAF6 mediated IRF7 activation (p = 0.009), TRIF-mediated TLR3/TLR4 signalling (p = 0.011) and MyD88-independent cascade release of apoptotic factors (p = 0.011). Protein association analysis of DMRs in OPMD revealed 19 genes involved in the cell cycle regulation, immune system, and focal adhesion. Aberrantly methylated loci in OPMD were observed in p16INK4a positive samples which suggests that a shift in global methylation status may be important for cancer progression. The results suggest that HPV infection in OPMD induces modulation of genes related to the immune system and regulation of the cellular cycl

    Analysis of In Vitro Osteoblast Culture on Scaffolds for Future Bone Regeneration Purposes in Dentistry

    One of the main focuses of tissue engineering is to search for tridimensional scaffold materials, complying with nature’s properties for tissue regeneration. Determining material biocompatibility is a fundamental step in considering its use. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze osteoblast cell adhesion and viability on different materials to determine which was more compatible for future bone regeneration. Tridimensional structures were fabricated with hydroxyapatite, collagen, and porous silica. The bovine bone was used as material control. Biocompatibility was determined by seeding primary osteoblasts on each tridimensional structure. Cellular morphology was assessed by SEM and viability through confocal microscopy. Osteoblast colonization was observed on all evaluated materials’ surface, revealing they did not elicit osteoblast cytotoxicity. Analyses of four different materials studied with diverse compositions and characteristics showed that adhesiveness was best seen for HA and viability for collagen. In general, the results of this investigation suggest these materials can be used in combination, as scaffolds intended for bone regeneration in dental and medical fields

    Epigenetics: Definition, molecular bases and implications in human health and evolution

    No full text
    La Epigenética se refiere a los cambios heredables en el ADN e histonas que no implican alteraciones en la secuencia de nucleótidos y modifican la estructura y condensación de la cromatina, por lo que afectan la expresión génica y el fenotipo. Las modificaciones epigenéticas son metilación del ADN y modificaciones de histonas. Objetivo: hacer una revisión de la literatura sobre el concepto de epigenética y su impacto en la salud. Materiales y métodos: se realizó una revisión de la bibliografía sobre el concepto de epigenética, sus bases biológicas, el impacto sobre la salud y la enfermedad y su relación con la evolución. Resultados: los mecanismos epigenéticos han cobrado cada vez más importancia debido a la creciente asociación con enfermedades complejas y comunes, así como por su impacto en la salud de generaciones futuras y en la evolución humana. Conclusiones: la Epigenética tiene un claro impacto en la salud del individuo, en la de su descendencia y en la evolución de la especie humana.Epigenetics refers to inheritable changes in DNA and histones that do not involve changes in the sequence of nucleotides and that modifies structure and chromatin condensation, thus affecting gene expression and phenotype. Epigenetic modifications are DNA methylation and histone modifications. Objective: A review of the literature on the concept of Epigenetics and its impact on health. Materials and methods: A review of the literature was performed on the concept of epigenetics, its biological basis, the impact on health and disease and its relation to evolution. Results: Epigenetic mechanisms have become increasingly important because of the growing association with common complex diseases as well as its impact on health of future generations and in human evolution. Conclusions: Epigenetics has a clear impact on the health of individuals in their offspring and with the evolution of the human specie
