Thyroid hormone (T3) plays an important role in regulating multiple cellular and metabolic processes, including cell proliferation, cell death, and energy metabolism, in vertebrates. Dysregulation of T3 signaling results in developmental abnormalities, metabolic defects, and even cancer. We used T3-dependent Xenopus metamorphosis as a model to study how T3 regulates transcription during vertebrate development. T3 exerts its metamorphic effects through T3 receptors (TR). TR recruits, in a T3-dependent manner, cofactor complexes that can carry out chromatin remodeling/histone modifications. Whether and how histone modifications change upon gene regulation by TR during vertebrate development is largely unknown. Here we analyzed histone modifications at T3 target genes during intestinal metamorphosis, a process that involves essentially total apoptotic degeneration of the simple larval epithelium and de novo development of the adult epithelial stem cells, followed by their proliferation and differentiation into the complex adult epithelium. We demonstrated for the first time in vivo during vertebrate development that TR induces the removal of core histones at the promoter region and the recruitment of RNA polymerase. Furthermore, a number of histone activation and repression marks have been defined based on correlations with mRNA levels in cell cultures. Most but not all correlate with gene expression induced by liganded TR during development, suggesting that tissue and developmental context influences the roles of histone modifications in gene regulation. Our findings provide important mechanistic insights on how chromatin remodeling affects developmental gene regulation in vivo.

Abstract Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent cancer among females globally. microRNAs (miRNAs) could regulate the expression levels of cancer-related genes through binding with target mRNAs. In various cancers, the abnormal expression of miR-130b has been detected. We aims to investigate the molecular mechanism and biological function of miR130b in breast cancer.Methods: We obtained two microRNA expression profiles from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, including GSE45666 and GSE26659. We identified differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs) between BC tissue and normal breast tissue based on the GEO2R web tool. DE-miRNAs were filtered by significant prognostic value resulting from Kaplan–Meier plotter. We used the JASPAR database to explore upstream regulators of miR-130b. The potential molecular mechanisms of miR-130b correlation genes were revealed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis in WebGestalt. Protein–protein interaction (PPI) network of miR-130b target genes was constructed by STRING. Cytoscape software was used to visualize the PPI network and hub genes.Results: miR-130b was highly expressed in breast cancer tissues, which positively correlates with poor prognostic. JASPAR revealed THAP11 might be the upstream regulator of miR-130b. In addition, GO, and KEGG pathway revealed that miR-130b positively regulated PFKP, STAT1, SRC, and NOTCH2, participating in the Thyroid hormone signaling pathway. The PPI network further identified that AR, KIT, and ESR1 as hub genes in BC development.Conclusion: miR-130b, which is regulated by THAP11, acts as an oncogene and prognostic biomarker in BC by mediating the Thyroid hormone signaling pathway and potential target genes. miR-130b might be a novel therapeutic target for BC treatment.
