It is documented that hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis, but whether elevated plasma homocysteine contributes to the progression of atherosclerosis in aged animals with hypercholesterolemia is still unknown. HHcy was induced in apolipoprotein E (ApoE) knockout mice (male, 32 weeks old) by feeding 2% methionine/low folate (1 mg/kg) diet for 20 weeks. HHcy induced by methionine feeding significantly increased oxidative stress, as measured by thiobarbituric-reactive substances in livers (P < .05) and genetic expression of Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase, in methionine-fed animals compared with controls (P < .05). Furthermore, lipoprotein profiles were changed, in that low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was shifted to very low-density lipoprotein in the methionine-supplemented group. However, nuclear factor ${\kappa}B$ activity, atherosclerotic lesions, hepatic glutathione level, lipid profiles, and activities of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were not significantly different. These findings suggest that HHcy induced by methionine may promote disturbances in lipid peroxidation and modify lipoprotein metabolism but not contribute to the progression of atherosclerotic lesion in aged ApoE knockout mice.

However, nuclear factor κB activity, atherosclerotic lesions, hepatic glutathione level, lipid profiles, and activities of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were not significantly different. These findings suggest that HHcy induced by methionine may promote disturbances in lipid peroxidation and modify lipoprotein metabolism but not contribute to the progression of atherosclerotic lesion in aged ApoE knockout mice.

It is well documented that hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. This study was designed to investigate whether some of atherosclerotic effects ascribed to HHcy are mediated by oxidative stress and nuclear factor kappa B (NFB) activation in peritoneal macrophages of C57BL/6 mice fed 2% methionine, low folate (1mg/kg) diet for 12 weeks. Plasma homocysteine concentration of mice fed methionine was 49 mol/L by 12 week of feeding, 5 times higher than that of controls. HHcy induced by methionine feeding significantly elevated oxidative stress, as measured by superoxide anion radical level (p<0.05) in peritoneal macrophages. Furthermore, NFB binding activities of peritoneal macrophages was higher in the methionine group than in the control group. These results suggest that HHcy induced by methionine may intensify disturbances in peroxidation and inflammatory mediator activation in peritoneal macrophages as possible mechanisms of its atherogenic role.
Combinatorial patterns of histone acetylations and methylations in the human genome

Histones are characterized by numerous posttranslational modifications that influence gene transcription. However, because of the lack of global distribution data in higher eukaryotic systems, the extent to which gene-specific combinatorial patterns of histone modifications exist remains to be determined. Here, we report the patterns derived from the analysis of 39 histone modifications in human CD4<SUP>+</SUP> T cells. Our data indicate that a large number of patterns are associated with promoters and enhancers. In particular, we identify a common modification module consisting of 17 modifications detected at 3,286 promoters. These modifications tend to colocalize in the genome and correlate with each other at an individual nucleosome level. Genes associated with this module tend to have higher expression, and addition of more modifications to this module is associated with further increased expression. Our data suggest that these histone modifications may act cooperatively to prepare chromatin for transcriptional activation.

The present study was designed to investigate whether hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) induced by methionine supplementation promotes oxidative stress and nuclear factor κB (NFκB) activation in livers of C57BL/6 mice when fed a 2% methionine and low folate (1 mg/kg) diet for 12 weeks. Plasma homocysteine concentrations of mice fed methionine were found to be 49 μmol/L by 12 weeks of feeding, which was five times higher than that of controls. HHcy induced by methionine feeding significantly increased oxidative stress, as measured by thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (P < .05) in livers. This was further confirmed by lower levels of hepatic glutathione (P < .05) and elevated mRNA expressions of hepatic antioxidative enzymes, such as Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase, and L-gulonolactone oxidase in methionine-fed animals (P < .05). Hepatic function of mice fed methionine seems to be normal, while hepatic triglyceride concentration was lowered by methionine feeding. NFκB nuclear binding activities of livers were higher in the methionine group than in the control group. The above results suggest that HHcy induced by methionine may promote disturbances in lipid peroxidation and antioxidant processes and be a pro-inflammatory mediator in livers of C57BL/6 mice.
