DNA methylation changes during long-term in vitro cell culture are caused by epigenetic drift (2021)
Journal Article
Franzen, J., Georgomanolis, T., Selich, A., Kuo, C.-C., Stöger, R., Brant, L., …Wagner, W. (2021). DNA methylation changes during long-term in vitro cell culture are caused by epigenetic drift. Communications Biology, 4(1), Article 598. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-021-02116-y

Culture expansion of primary cells evokes highly reproducible DNA methylation (DNAm) changes. We have identified CG dinucleotides (CpGs) that become continuously hyper- or hypomethylated during long-term culture of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and o...

A lexicon of DNA modifications: their roles in embryo development and the germline (2018)
Journal Article
Zhu, Q., Stöger, R., & Alberio, R. (2018). A lexicon of DNA modifications: their roles in embryo development and the germline. Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 6, Article 24. https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2018.00024

5-methylcytosine (5mC) on CpG dinucleotides has been viewed as the major epigenetic modification in eukaryotes for a long time. Apart from 5mC, additional DNA modifications have been discovered in eukaryotic genomes. Many of these modifications are t...

Epigenetic memory via concordant DNA methylation is inversely correlated to developmental potential of mammalian cells (2017)
Journal Article
Choi, M., Genereux, D. P., Goodson, J., Al-Azzawi, H., Allain, S. Q., Simon, N., …Laird, C. D. (2017). Epigenetic memory via concordant DNA methylation is inversely correlated to developmental potential of mammalian cells. PLoS Genetics, 13(11), Article e1007060. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1007060

In storing and transmitting epigenetic information, organisms must balance the need to maintain information about past conditions with the capacity to respond to information in their current and future environments. Some of this information is encode... Read More about Epigenetic memory via concordant DNA methylation is inversely correlated to developmental potential of mammalian cells.

Manganese exposure: linking down-regulation of miRNA-7 and miRNA-433 with α-synuclein overexpression and risk of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (2017)
Journal Article
Tarale, P., Daiwile, A. P., Sivanesan, S., Stöger, R., Bafana, A., Naoghare, P. K., …Krishnamurthi, K. (2018). Manganese exposure: linking down-regulation of miRNA-7 and miRNA-433 with α-synuclein overexpression and risk of idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Toxicology in Vitro, 46, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tiv.2017.10.003

Manganese is an essential trace element however elevated environmental and occupational exposure to this element has been correlated with neurotoxicity symptoms clinically identical to idiopathic Parkinson's disease. In the present study we chronical... Read More about Manganese exposure: linking down-regulation of miRNA-7 and miRNA-433 with α-synuclein overexpression and risk of idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

High-level dietary cadmium exposure is associated with global DNA hypermethylation in the gastropod hepatopancreas (2017)
Journal Article
Nica, D., Popescu, C., Draghici, G., Andrica, F.-M., Privistirescu, I., Gergen, I. I., & Stöger, R. (2017). High-level dietary cadmium exposure is associated with global DNA hypermethylation in the gastropod hepatopancreas. PLoS ONE, 12(9), Article e0184221. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0184221

5-methylcytosine (5mC) is a key epigenetic mark which influences gene expression and phenotype. In vertebrates, this epigenetic mark is sensitive to Cd exposure, but there is no information linking such an event with changes in global 5mC levels in t...

Effect of cadmium on cytosine hydroxymethylation in gastropod hepatopancreas (2017)
Journal Article
Nica, D., Popescu, C., Draghici, G., Privistirescu, I., Suciu, M., & Stöger, R. (2017). Effect of cadmium on cytosine hydroxymethylation in gastropod hepatopancreas. Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 24(17), 15187-15195. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-017-9104-4

5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is an important, yet poorly understood epigenetic DNA modification, especially in invertebrates. Aberrant genome-wide 5hmC levels have been associated with cadmium (Cd) exposure in humans, but such information is lackin...
