AbstractIn addition to nucleosomes, chromatin contains non-histone chromatin-associated proteins, of which the high-mobility group proteins are the most abundant. Chromatin-mediated regulation of transcription involves DNA methylation and histone modifications. However, the order of events and the precise function of high-mobility group proteins during transcription initiation remain unclear. Here we show that high-mobility group AT-hook 2 protein (HMGA2) induces DNA nicks at the transcription start site, which are required by the histone chaperone FACT complex to incorporate nucleosomes containing the histone variant H2A.X. Further, phosphorylation of H2A.X at S139 (γ-H2AX) is required for repair-mediated DNA demethylation and transcription activation. The relevance of these findings is demonstrated within the context of TGFB1 signaling and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, suggesting therapies against this lethal disease. Our data support the concept that chromatin opening during transcriptional initiation involves intermediates with DNA breaks that subsequently require DNA repair mechanisms to ensure genome integrity.

Nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions were isolated from various tissues of the rat by a nonaqueous technique. The high-mobility-group (HMG) proteins were extracted from these fractions with acid and separated by one- and two-dimensional PAGE. The concentrations of high-mobility-group proteins HMG1, HMG2, and HMG17 in the nucleus and cytoplasm were then estimated from the staining intensities of the electrophoretic bands. The cytoplasmic concentrations of these proteins were very low--usually less than 1/30 of those present in the corresponding nuclear fractions. For the tissues studied (liver, kidney, heart, and lung), the concentrations of HMG proteins in the nucleus did not differ significantly from one tissue to another. Averaged over the four tissues investigated, there were 0.28 molecule of HMG1, 0.18 molecule of HMG2, and 0.46 molecule of HMG17 per nucleosome. These values are considerably higher than those that have been reported previously.

As a common malignant tumor in neurosurgery, glioma is characterized as high incidence rate, easy to invade, metastasize and recurrent. It is difficult to treat and has a poor prognosis. The gliomas pathogenesis is complex and has not been fully resolved. Therefore, finding effective molecular targets for glioma is beneficial to improve therapeutic effect. The SRY-related high mobility group box 9 (SOX9) gene involves in mammalian development and is significantly increased in glioma. However, SOX9’s role in gliomas is unclear. The glioma cell line U87 was assigned into control group, scramble group that was transfected with siRNA negative control, and SOX9 siRNA group that was transfected with SOX9 siRNA followed by analysis of SOX9 mRNA and protein level by qPCR and Western blot, cell proliferation by MTT assay, cell apoptosis by Caspase 3 activity assay, cell invasion by Transwell assay, and MMP-9 level by ELISA. SOX9 siRNA transfection significantly downregulated SOX9 mRNA and protein expressions, inhibited U87 cell proliferation, enhanced Caspase 3 activity, suppressed cell invasion of U87, decreased the secretion of MMP-9 in the supernatant, and reduced ERK1/2 and P38 phosphorylation levels (P < 0.05). SOX9 can regulate the progression of glioma by regulating ERK/P38 signaling pathway, promoting cell apoptosis, inhibiting cell proliferation, and restraining cell invasion.
